SPI NOR, NAND programming via MfgTool

[ChrisWilliamson]

[Problem]

Target H/W : SABRE6S-AI board

MFG tools : Mfgtools-Rel-12.09.02_ER_MX6DL_UPDATER

MFG download to SD card is fine, however it failed to SPI-NOR & NAND from SABRE-AI board for MX6 Solo.

Without any modification  I tried with the latest MFG tool releases mentioned above but still got failure. Please find failure logs in attachments.

I wonder if MFG tools has verified with Sabre-AI SPI-NOR * NAND.

[Solution] SPI NOR programming via MFG tool will be supported from ER6 onwards.

NAND is still being worked on.

Hi Christopher,

I tried this version Mfgtools-Rel-4.1.0_130816_MX6DL_UPDATER and I was able to flash NAND ([LIST] name=MX6SOLO-Sabreauto-NAND). The only change I did is this line

-<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="send" file="files/uImage">Sending Kernel Image</CMD>

+<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="send" file="files/uImage-nand">Sending Kernel Image</CMD>

I used all binaries already on the MFGtool tarball. However, what I did not succeed, was flashing a rootfs.tar.bz2 with size > 128M. Seems that default u-boot (u-boot-mx6solo-sabreauto-nand.bin) needs to be recompile to change the bootargs passed to the kernel, but even with this change I did not reach prompt (a kernel panic due to invalid 'root' parameter)
