[prashanthkumar]

Hi,

We are working on iMX8 Quad Max custom board with 4.14.78 Kernel.

For  flashing to eMMC , we are using MFG Tool(UUU)"  from below link.

GitHub - NXPmicro/mfgtools: Freescale/NXP I.MX Chip image deploy tools.

The UUU script file is attached for your reference.

But while flashing its unable to proceed/move further steps as shown below.

user@root$ sudo ./uuu -v ./partition.uuu

Hi Prashanth 

so, what is "observation" - any logs/messages/steps.

Are you able to run: uuu  flash.bin (new generated uboot image),

as described in sect.3.1.2 Download boot loader for imx8qxp attached document.

Hi Igor,

We did DDR stress test on i.MX8QM custom board. That is getting passed with 1200MHz LPDDR4 frequency.

Whether DDR will effect to flashing using  UUU tool ?
