Hi,

Please refer to the document UUU.pdf with uuu tool for how to flash emmc

ex: uuu -b emmc <bootloader>

     uuu -b emmc_all <bootloader> <rootfs.wic.zst/*>

You can also refer to <4 Booting Linux OS> of <IMX_LINUX_USERS_GUIDE.pdf>

Hi @Harvey021 

I have tried this but getting a error as : 

./uuu -b emmc_all u-boot.bin imx-image-full-imx93-11x11-lpddr4x-evk-20240829072649.rootfs.wic
uuu (Universal Update Utility) for nxp imx chips -- libuuu_1.5.182-0-gda3cd53

Success 0 Failure 1


3:4-DAAE92E6 1/ 1 [HID(W): LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT (-7) ] SDPS: boot -scanterm -f u-boot.bin -scanlimited 0x800000


Also please confirm the bootloader binary I tried to flash these 3 bootloader binaries but reporting same error please help.
 
Imx-boot-imx93-11x11-lpddr4x-evk-sd.bin-flash_singleboot
u-boot.bin
u-boot-imx93-11x11-lpddr4x-evk.bin

[Harvey021]

Should be the one to be flashed - Imx-boot-imx93-11x11-lpddr4x-evk-sd.bin-flash_singleboot

Try to run the CLI: sudo uuu -lsusb to check if driver for usb missed with your Linux Host.

Hi @harvey 

Actually uuu -lsusb is detecting the board but could not flash 

only this error I am getting : 

3:1-3661BD70 1/ 1 [HID(W): LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT (-7) ] SDPS: boot -scanterm -f imx-boot-imx91-11x11-lpddr4-evk-sd.bin-flash_singleboot -scan

Hi,

Have a test on host-Ubuntu 20.04-as below for your reference.

Image downloaded from the link https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=L6.6.36_2.1.0_MX93&appType=license 

Cli: sudo uuu -b emmc_all imx-boot-imx93evk-sd.bin-flash_singleboot imx-image-full-imx93evk.wic

or sudo uuu -b emmc_all imx-image-full-imx93evk.wic

Both way work on my side.

Hi,

I am also using ubuntu 20.04 but still the issue is same as I tried to flash the image which you suggested.

My uuu version is: uuu (Universal Update Utility) for nxp imx chips -- libuuu_1.5.182-0-gda3cd53

is there any specific uuu version that we need to use?

[Harvey021]

Should not related to uuu version.

However, the one I tested is 

uuu (Universal Update Utility) for nxp imx chips -- libuuu_1.5.11-0-g7c0fb61

By the way, what part number is your board?

Regards

Hi,

I am working on "11 * 11 i.MX93 evk".

But I have also checked in the i.MX91 custom board through Linux I am facing issues with flashing but with windows it is not an issue.

Thanks.

[Harvey021]

Would suggest to check your Ubuntu settings and my host is not virtual machine 

To avoid the image to be flashed with some corruption, like that copy from Windows by tools. better download it from Linux platform.
