Image is not booting from SD card

[aabhishekoct18]

Hi Team 

We are using iMX 6 solo in one of our custom board, we are  able  to flash image in SD card  through uuu tool using linux, but boards can't able to boot from SD card . Please let us know  following 

1) During flashing will this iMX  internal RAM will be used or external DDR3  will be used  ?

2) How we should proceed for debugging this from hardware  side ?

Many people run into this issue, and I remember dealing with it a couple of years ago. My solution was to create a bootable SD card, which is a straightforward process. First, insert the SD card into your computer and open a tool like Rufus. From the Device drop-down menu, select your SD card. Set the File System to FAT32 to ensure compatibility. Then, check the boxes for Quick Format and Create a bootable disk using. For the bootable disk type, select FreeDOS, as it is lightweight and widely supported. Once everything is set, press Start and wait for the process to complete. When it's done, your SD card will be ready for use as a bootable device!

Nowadays, AI chatbot development services have evolved, providing bootable virtual assistant solutions for computers. These advanced frameworks not only enhance security and data protection but also streamline the booting process, making it easier for users to access critical tools and information efficiently. Cheers!

This issue sounds quite familiar! I faced a similar problem a while ago, and it turned out to be related to how the SD card was prepared. To ensure it’s bootable, you could use tools like Rufus or Etcher. First, format the SD card with FAT32, then burn the image file correctly. Also, double-check that the boot configuration on your board aligns with the SD card setup—misconfigured boot switches often cause such issues. Interestingly, with the rise of custom chatbot development services, some teams are now using AI-powered assistants to guide through technical debugging and configuration processes. These solutions can provide step-by-step help and reduce trial-and-error. Hope this helps, and good luck debugging!

I think many people encounter this issue. I remember dealing with it a couple of years ago. If I recall correctly, I created a bootable SD card. To do this, you need to select your SD card in the Device drop-down menu. The file system should be set to FAT32. Then, check the boxes for Quick Format and Create a bootable disk. Choose FreeDOS for the bootable disk option. Press the Start button and wait for the process to complete. There you have it!

Nowadays, several AI Chatbot Development Services providers create bootable virtual assistant solutions for computers. These frameworks help keep files secure and safe while also making them easily bootable. Cheers!

I believe this happens to most of us. I recall I had the same issue a couple of years back. If I'm correct I created a bootable SD card initially. For that, you need to select your SD Card in the Device drop-down menu. The file system should be Fat32.. then check the boxes Quick Format and create a bootable disk. and select FreeDOS for the bootable disk. Press the Start button and wait for it to complete. There you have it. In fact, there are several Chatbot Development Services providers who now create bootable virtual assistant solutions for computers. I believe these are mainly frameworks that help keep files secure and safe and also easily bootable now. Cheers!!

You can check the general troubleshooting steps. You can check with the AI consulting services.

1. Check the SD card
2. Ensure the SD card is compatible with your device and has enough capacity.
3. Verify the SD card is not physically damaged.
4. Use a disk utility to check for errors on the SD card.
5. Reformat the SD card if necessary (be sure to back up any data first).

Is there printing information when your boot up in the serial port?

Hi Rita  

Thanks for replying. We are  able to solve  the  issue  basically we  were not  updating DDR3 setting ,once we updated value obtained  from 

realview.inc it starts working.

Good news, I am very glad it works.

When you boot up your board from SD card, have you set the boot mode to boot up from SD card mode?
