Image burning via UUU failed

[Leo-Yang]

Hi,

We have a custom board based on the i.MX8MP-EVK, with a 16GB eMMC (as shown below).

Our image includes the dbg-pkgs package, so the resulting .wic.zst file size reaches about 8GB. When we try to flash it to the eMMC using uuu, the flashing process seems incomplete — it is expected to take around 10 minutes, but it finishes in just 2 minutes, and the board fails to boot afterward.

The uuu version we’re using is 1.4.149, and the command executed is:

./uuu -b emmc_all imx-boot-imx8mpevk-sd.bin-flash_evk imx-image-multimedia-imx8mpevk.rootfs.wic.zst

Additionally, we have modified the imx-boot-bootpart.wks.in file as follows:

# short-description: Create SD card image with a boot partition
# long-description:
# Create an image that can be written onto a SD card using dd for use
# with i.MX SoC family
# It uses u-boot + other binaries gathered together on imx-boot file
#
# The disk layout used is:
#  - ---------- -------------- --------------
# | | imx-boot |     boot     |    rootfs    |
#  - ---------- -------------- --------------
# ^ ^          ^              ^              ^
# | |          |              |              |
# 0 |        8MiB          72MiB          72MiB + rootfs + IMAGE_EXTRA_SPACE (default 10MiB)
#   ${IMX_BOOT_SEEK} 32 or 33kiB, see reference manual
#

Is there any way to completely flash a large image to eMMC?
Or are there specific uuusettings or partition layout adjustments we should apply for large images?

Best regards,
Leo

do you mind giving me the download log? add -v in the uuu command, and could you confirm if your image is fine or not? for the partition questions, you can refer to the discussion here
