Issue with running Linux Binary Demo Files at MCIMX6QP-SDB

[roman_toropov]

Hi folks,

I came across a situation when I tried to run Linux Binary Demo, but saw the following error:

Wrong Image Format for bootm command

=>

I tried both images with the same result: 

L4.19.35_1.1.0_MX6QDLSOLOX (REV L4.19.35_1.1.0 )

L5.4.3_1.0.0_MX6QDLSOLOX (REV LF_L5.4.3_1.0.0 )

I am very confused because before that I tried the same thing with the MCIMX8QM-CPU and it worked well. I will be glad of any help, thanks.

I have tested 5.4.3 demo images on imx6qp board successfully, my steps :

use "uuu.exe uuu.auto-imx6qpsabresd", then set sw6 to boot up from EMMC, my log file is:

Thanks for that, but I'm mostly interested in booting from an SD card. Could you check this out?

[joanxie]

did you use dd command to download wic file to your SD card? normally, you download wic file by dd commands, then you can boot up the board without any change, how about try:

"setevn image zImage-imx6qpdlsolox.bin" then save and boot up again?

[roman_toropov]

Yes, I use dd command.

After "setevn image zImage-imx6qpdlsolox.bin":

[joanxie]

because work from home, I couldn't test for you now, did you change anything on HW or SW? how about use uuu to download wic file again?

"uuu -b sd_all u-boot-imx6qpsabresd_sd.imx imx-image-full-imx6qpdlsolox.wic"

[joanxie]

which demo images do you use? did you download imx-image-full-imx6qpdlsolox.sdcard ? could you use command printenv in the uboot, then send the uboot environment to me?

[roman_toropov]

Hi Joan,
