Source Code for Kernel used by MfgTool on i.MX28

[danielgloeckner]

Hi,

we need to modify the Linux kernel shipped with MfgTool in the Profiles/MX28 Linux Update/OS Firmware/updater_ivt.sb binary as it rejects the NAND flash on our new boards. Where can we get the source code?

Kind regards,

Daniel

I have the same problem.

The kernel you're looking for is just the Linux kernel that comes with LTIB, linux-2.6.35.3, built with a special initial ram disk and some IMX bootlet code to load it in recovery mode. If you're still using a distro old enough to run LTIB on your development system, then it's easy to build the updater.sb and updater_ivt.sb files, as described in section 2.5 of the "i.MX28 Linux BSP User’s Guide" that comes with LTIB.

Hello Daniel,

You can download the code directly from the NXP Web page, here is the link:

Have a nice day!

That is merely the source code for the MfgTool Windows application.

What I need is the source code for the Linux kernel that is shipped with MfgTool.
