UUU is not able to flash the images on i.MX8MQ reference board

[harshitshah]

Hi Team,

We are working on i.MX8MQ reference board setup and with the 2019.04 U-boot version. (L5.4.3_1.0.0).

We have installed the UUU package and with the same package, the imx-boot image is not being flashed. (i.MX8MQEVK is working fine with UUU). From the U-boot as well as UUU verbose I am not able to find any error.

As per the logs from i.MX8MQEVK from here the flashing should happen, however, this is not doing any operation after this point.

Please let us know where can be the issue here. We suspect the issue is in some U-boot or imx-boot configuration.

do you use your customized board? could you reproduce this issue on nxp imx8MQ EVK board?

[harshitshah]

Hi Joan,

No, on the EVK this works fine. Only on customer board, we are seeing this issue.

[joanxie]

if you use the third party company board, you need to use their uboot and kernel, if you use customized board which designed based on nxp imx8mq evk board, you should change the uboot and kernel based on your HW design, download your own customized uboot image
