How to Flash flash.bin image in IMX8QXPMEK using sdcard?

krunaldhonde · ‎12-06-2021

I am having IMX8QXPMEK board, I have taken the images from below link attachment. Does this image is valid to test ?

I flashed the QXP_MEK/flash_QX.bin using following command.

sudo dd if=flash_QX.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1k seek=32‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But i am not able to see any print on terminal. Am I missing something here?

I want to create all the partition manually for that I am referring following document 4.3.3 for partitioning sd card manually instead of wic image.

I have created partition using 4.3.3 Partitioning the SD/MMC card. I can see following two partition after this step.

/dev/sdb1

/dev/sdb2

I have formatted 2 partitions using following commands.

sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1

sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb2

Then I have flashed flash.bin image using following command.

sudo dd if=flash.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1k seek=32‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ /// should I use /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 ?

after this step, I can not see print of uboot on terminal.

Is there a way to check this image flashed correctly as I can not see this image in both partition?

Hi Krunal

recommended to use Demo Images from nxp official linux web page

For flashing use uuu tool or follow sect.4.3.2 Copying the full SD card image i.MX Linux User’s Guide
