Programming i.MX6 processor in the Serial Downloader mode

[paulfedorov]

Hi All !  Tell me please, what program on the PC (Windows 7 OS) needs to be used for  i.MX6 Solo processor programming using the Serial Downloader mode (USB OTG)?

I can't find such information in documentation on the processor.

Thanks!

Hi Paul,

Under Windows, the canonical tool is the Freescale Manufacturing tool, but if you just want to upload a binary, the "sb_loader.exe" tool is very useful.

We have a short description on-line here:

The other page describing imx_usb that Yuri didn't mention is our Linux "unbricking" page:

Thanks to all! Now processor programming through usb became more clear to me.

You can try the USB loader :

"AdeneoEmbedded - Whitepaper on USB loader for i.MX6 platforms"

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-95604

"i.MX USB Loader"

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-94117

The following thread contains a stand-alone led example for i.MX6. Hope it helps.

Юрий, спасибо за ответ.

Правильно ли я понял, что какого-то "официального" софта для прошивки процессора через USB от Freescale нет, а есть нечто под Linux, что необходимо самому транслировать и компоновать?

Yury, thanks for the response.

Whether correctly I understood, what any "official" software for a processor firmware through USB from Freescale isn't present, and there is something under Linux what it is necessary most to compile?
