Using MFG Tool on Linux to flash iMX6ULL EVK

[meetalipatel]

Hello,

I am trying to flash a binary on iMX6ULL EVK Board using MFG Tool. When running mfgtools on Windows, there is no issue and I am able to flash successfully. However, when I trying running mfgtools on Linux, I am unable to do so (I am using Ubuntu 14.04). 

To run the mfgtoolcli application I executed the following command:

   $ ./mfgtoolcli -l eMMC -s lite=l -s 6uluboot=14x14evk -s 6uldtb=14x14-evk

The output is:

Your Options:
lite: l
6uluboot: 14x14evk
6uldtb: 14x14-evk
Ready to flash.
init op Failed code# 24

The logs in MfgToolLibLog.txt file are:

Start new logging
ModuleID[2] LevelID[1]: Error: Invalid device name: MX6ULL
ModuleID[2] LevelID[1]: Parse ucl script failed, error code: 24

Please guide me on how can I successfully flash using the mfgtools on Linux machine.

Thanks

Hi Patel,

For downloading images to i.MX using the Serial downloader mode, you could use the Universal Update Utility (UUU), available for Windows and Linux. Please take a look to the following Community thread, that provides additional UUU examples, and points to UUU documentation that could help you:

Hope this will be useful for you.

Hi Carlos,

I am using Linux kernel version 4.9.88. Is UUU supported for this kernel version?

Thanks

Hi Patel,
Yes, it should be compatible, it just will need to manually specify the U-Boot and RootFS when launching the command, instead of using the “auto” script. You could take a look to the following link:

Example · NXPmicro/mfgtools Wiki · GitHub 

Hope this will be useful for you.
Best regards!
