parallel nor flashing issue in imx6solo

[abdulhussain]

Hi,

I am trying to flash u-boot image with flashcp command in parallel nor in our custom imx6solo board using mfgtool. I am getting the following error,

UTP: received command '$ flashcp -v $FILE /dev/mtd0'

UTP: executing "flashcp -v $FILE /dev/mtd0"

Erasing blocks: 2/2 (100%)

Writing data: 136k/0k (100%)

Verifying data: 10k/0k (136%)File does not seem to match flash data. First mismatch at 0x00000000-0x00002800

UTP: sending Non-success to kernel for command $ flashcp -v $FILE /dev/mtd0.

utp_poll: exit with status 256

but from the kernel log it looks like parallel nor flash was probed correctly. Please find the dmesg log below,

8000000.nor: Found 1 x16 devices at 0x0 in 16-bit bank. Manufacturer ID 0x000089 Chip ID 0x00227e

Amd/Fujitsu Extended Query Table at 0x0040

  Amd/Fujitsu Extended Query version 1.5.

number of CFI chips: 1

2 ofpart partitions found on MTD device 8000000.nor

Creating 2 MTD partitions on "8000000.nor":

0x000000000000-0x000000a00000 : "uboot"

0x000000a00000-0x000004000000 : "kernel"

I am wondering why flashcp command is getting failed. 

Kindly help me resolve this issue.

Regards,

Hi Abdul 

for parallel nor programming one can use mfg tools from below link and script
mfgtool2-yocto-mx-sabreauto-weim-nor.vbs
https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/run-time-software/i.mx-developer-resources/i.mx-6ser...
As for flashcp one can check if flash was write protected and try to use flashcp just
from linux. Try other versions of linux and mtd-utils. If this will nor help post issue on
mail list: http://lists.infradead.org

Best regards
igor
