Hi folks,
I have a very strange problem. I have a Evaluation-Kit for the i.MX6ul which is working perfectly fine with the imx_usart and imx_usb tools provided here (https://github.com/boundarydevices/imx_usb_loader). I also tried serveral other tools (mfgtools, uuu...) but this one gave the most debug output.
So that is working fine for reference. My setup should be OK and the Barebox Image I'm trying to flash also.
Then I have two prototypes of our custom board who refuse to be flashed either by imx_usb or imx_usart. The USB and Serial interface should both work fine because they work well in our applications on these boards. Both prototypes got flashed with bad bootloaders/kernels during development and probably have broken NAND data. So they boot into the Serial Downloader Mode and I try to "debrick" them. (Side note: same behaviour is witnessed if I solder the boot pins to directly start the Serial Downloader mode)
The imx_usart is giving more debug data so I'll post that output here. This is the working Evaluation-Kit, everything as it should be:

and than it just stops, no error or cancel, just stops. The only difference I can see is the status return after HAB security state. Its `0F 0F 0F 0F` on the working board and `33 33 33 33` on the customs. What does that mean?
I never knowingly messed around with HAB, security bootloaders or eFuses for that matter. The only thing I did was programming the Boot-eFuses to boot from internal NAND with 512MB and that was a long time ago.
Is there something I'm doing wrong on our custom boards?
Any help appreciated, best regards,
Patrick
