Flashing iMX8MM-EVK using UUU Tool on Ubuntu

[meetalipatel]

Hello,

I am trying to flash the iMX8MM-EVK board using UUU tool but I am facing an issue of USB_TIMEOUT. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 as Host PC. I also tried on Ubuntu 14.04 but facing the same issue.

I have cloned the mfgtool project using the link: https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools.git

Here are the steps I followed:
1. Changed the switch configurations to bring the board to Serial Download Mode.

2. Connected the USB cable and powered on the board.
3. Executed the following command on the host PC:

$ sudo ./uuu -b sd_all imx-boot-imx8mmevk-sd.bin-flash_evk fsl-image-validation-imx-imx8mmevk.sdcard

( The bootloader and .sdcard images are taken from L4.14.78_1.0.0_ga_images_MX8MMEVK release package from the NXP Developer Resources)
On executing the above command, I am getting the following logs on the console on the host PC:

uuu (Universal Update Utility) for nxp imx chips -- libuuu_1.2.135-1-g497a13c
Success 0    Failure 1                                                                                                                                                            
1:2      1/ 1 [HID(W):LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT           ] SDP: boot -f imx-boot-imx8mmevk-sd.bin-flash_evk 

On executing "dmesg" command, I am getting the kernel logs as follows:
[  560.952858] usb 1-2: new high-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd

Please suggest how can I proceed further.

Hi Kunal,

In the same guide that you attached above, under the section "Known issue", it states that "some old i.MX8MM board HID can’t work in linux system. Need apply ROM patch to fix. Please contact FAE." 
Can you help me out with this ROM patch.

Thanks & Regards

Hi meetalipatel,

For applying ROM patch you need to check whether your ROM patch is locked or not.Please go through this link to check whether ROM patch can be applied to your board or not.

Hi meetalipatel,

It seem the Ubuntu machine you are using is not compatible. It is recommended to use the Ubuntu 16.14 or above version for UUU tool. Please find the attached pdf for more details regarding UUU tool.
