Hello @kishorem ,

That log make me think that the board is not correctly set in Serial download mode, could you please run the command:

uuu -lsusb

And please let me know if you can see the logs like the following:

In case no, please make sure that the switches are correct (Remember the switches are inverted on the board):

Please try it.

Best regards!

@Alejandro_Salas  Please find the output of the uuu -lsusb command and also serial port settings.

Please find the complete output of the command sudo ./uuu_imx_android_flash.sh -f imx8qxp -a -e

From your error log, I will suggest you can check your board is with i.MX8QXP B0 or i.MX8QXP C0.

You can try with C0 flash command. 

And you can try following command to quickly check your board is with B0 or C0.

uuu u-boot-imx8qxp-mek-uuu.imx

uuu u-boot-imx8qxp-mek-c0-uuu.imx

The you follow the android document guide. 

[kishorem]

@rudi_cyber, thanks for your inputs.
Now we are able to flash when we pass -u c0

sudo ./uuu_imx_android_flash.sh -f imx8qxp -a -e -u c0

I have more comments, here.

It seems libusb issue. The most likely issue is you are using the wrong bootloader. 

Because the wrong bootloader stop running and lose communication through usb to uuu. 

Maybe you use B0 image on C0 chip board. 

That is why I suggest to try. 

uuu u-boot-imx8qxp-mek-uuu.imx

or

uuu u-boot-imx8qxp-mek-c0-uuu.imx

It is very quick and easy.

Hello @kishorem ,

Do you have any other board to test? I replicated the same steps that you made and I could flash the board successfully. 

Other thing that sometimes go wrong is the UUU version, I know that for that script the recommended version is 1.4.182, but please try with other for example the 1.4.243.

Best regards!

[kishorem]

@Alejandro_Salas, we have one more custom board for which we have to replace scfw_tcm.bin and will give a try.
BTW, is it possible to flash Andriod image on sd card from a windows host? if yes could you please share the steps?

[Alejandro_Salas]

Hello @kishorem ,

Flash a SD card with windows host is not possible, but you can try to flash directly of your Windows PC, the same steps as in Linux but now in Windows.

Open a CMD or PowerShell windows in Windows OS and go to the directory of the Android 12 BSP and set the command:

.\uuu_imx_android_flash.bat -f imx8qxp -e -a

Let me know if it works.

Best regards!

Hi Alejandro Salas,

Good day!

I try to use uuu to flash android_p9.0.0_2.3.3_image_8qmek(downloaded from official link) by use below command:

#uuu_imx_android_flash.bat -f imx8qxp -a -e -t sd

It seems stuck at u-boot.

log from host:

uuu_imx_android_flash.bat -f imx8qxp -a -e -t sd

Fox and NXP guys,

It is very easy to reproduce the issue.

One of the following two commands will get the same libusb error output as kishorem has.  

uuu u-boot-imx8qxp-mek-uuu.imx

uuu u-boot-imx8qxp-mek-c0-uuu.imx
