imx6dl Parallel NOR Partition

[zhilinhuang]

Dear engineers！

Board environment:
L4.1.15_2.0.0_ga
yocto
imx6dl
Parallel NOR 128m

My equipment storage nor flash is 128M,（imx6dl）

I would like to uboot kernlel dts and rootfs how to write nor flash

The ucl.xml only has the example of programming uboot, no kernle, dts and rootfs, what should I modify to make it support burning these files

ucl.xml ：

<!-- burn uboot only because spi-nor flash is small (4M). kernel is beyond 5M now -->

#include "imx6q-sabreauto.dts"

&ecspi1 {
/* pin conflict with weim */
status = "disabled";
};

&can2 {
/* max7310_c on i2c3 is gone */
status = "disabled";
};

&gpmi {
status = "okay";
};

&i2c3 {
/* pin conflict with weim */
status = "disabled";
};

&uart3 {
/* pin conflict with gpmi and weim */
status = "disabled";
};

&usbh1 {

status = "disabled";
};

&usbotg {

status = "okay";
dr_mode = "peripheral";
};

&weim {
pinctrl-assert-gpios = <&gpio5 4 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
status = "okay";
};

英文不是很好，抱歉。就是修改什么地方支持 把，uboot ，kernel ，dts，rootfs   烧写 到 Parallel NOR  128M 中。

Thank you, look forward to your reply!

Hello Zhilin Huang,

The script for NOR flash just loads the boot loader but you may take the script for other memories as example to fit your needs.

There is some more information on the Manufacturing Tool V2 UCL User Guide, available along the manufacturing tool as part of the documentation of the tool. I hope this helps!

Regards,
