Trouble loading rootfs to NAND from MFGtool

[joshturner]

I am using the Buildroot 2018.08.2 for my development on IMX7Dual Sabre Board trying to resolve loading issue with custom hardware.   Prebuilt MFGTool doesn't work with custom hardware.  So I'm working on a custom initramfs to flash into nand using MFGTool.  So I've been developing with known working Sabre board.

For the Kernel defconfig, I chose to use imx_v7_defconfig.  And the Kernel version is rel_imx_4.9.x_1.0.0_ga

I can successfully build the uboot, kernel, and rootfs.  MFGTool successfully loads uboot, kernel, and DTB file into nand partitons but I have been unable to load the rootfs.   I think board is hanging at mkvol command of the ucl script file.  I have attached my MFGTool script ,configuration, and MFGTool log.

Here is the boot log.  Please advice. Thanks all!  I can provide more information if needed.

Hi josh

one can try with nxp official linux from source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx
linux-imx - i.MX Linux kernel 

use recipe linux-imx-mfgtool for building a manufacturing image as described in

sect.6.2 Manufacturing Tool, MFGTool attached Yocto Guide.

Best regards
