IMX93 uuu libusb error

[jamesfowkes]

Hello,

I am having issues using uuu to flash an IMX93 (MIMX9352CVVXMAB).

I am using Ubuntu 24.04.4 and uuu version:

uuu (Universal Update Utility) for nxp imx chips -- lib1.5.141

I can successfully flash the MCU on an IMX93EVK so I am confident that the laptop and software are not the issue.

The boot pins on the MCU are set to 0001 and the MCU is detected when powered.

dmesg output:

[15894.841580] usb 3-2: new high-speed USB device number 44 using xhci_hcd

uuu -lsusb output:

This error sometimes also appears as a LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT.

I have read through all the existing threads I can find about libusb errors but none have helped me.

Any suggestions or advice are appreciated.

Hi @jamesfowkes,

Thank you for contacting NXP Support.

As I understand, you are using a custom board. Could you please confirm this?

Have you ported our software to match the hardware on your board by following our porting guide?

Additionally, could you try using the latest version of the UUU tool?

Have you completed DDR training and generated the corresponding timing files for your hardware?

Best regards,
Chavira
