imx7 fuses in production

Hi,

we are currently developing an imx7 based custom board.

Following fuses should be burned (from ucl2.xml):

<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="$ echo %hwtype% > /sys/fsl_otp/HW_OCOTP_GP10">write hwtype %hwtype% to HW_OCOTP_GP10 fuse bank</CMD>
<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="$ echo %hwrev%00 > /sys/fsl_otp/HW_OCOTP_GP10">write hwrev %hwrev%00 to HW_OCOTP_GP10 fuse bank</CMD>
<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="$ echo %serialnumber%0000 > /sys/fsl_otp/HW_OCOTP_GP10">write serialnumber %serialnumber%0000 to HW_OCOTP_GP10 fuse bank</CMD>

<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="$ echo 0x10002067 > /sys/fsl_otp/HW_OCOTP_BOOT_CFG0">burn boot fuses</CMD>

as you can see we want to burn the boot fuses and general purpose fuses.

Best would be if we can use MfG-Tool to burn all fuses.

But now we get 2 Problems:

1. Is there a recommended way how to customize each board? The serialnumber must be individual on each board. Do we need some scripting around mfg-tool to get this working?

2. Burning the boot fuses from MFG-Tool doesn't work. Fuses are untouched after reboot. Do we need any further steps (lock, etc) before burning the boot fuses? Is it possible to burn boot fuses via MFG-Tool? During development we are burning the fuses from u-boot but we have no idea how to integrate this into MFG-Workflow.

Does anybody have recommendations how to burn the fuses on production? Anybody here who already has an imx7-Board in production and give any hints where to search for a solution?

Thanks in advance and best regards

Ruben

Hi Ruben

for burning the boot fuses from MFG-Tool one can look at

Burning fuse bits using MFGTool on i.MX6UL-EVK 

As individual on each board serialnumber seems one can use

UNIQUE_ID fuse from Table 6-19. Fusemap Descriptions i.MX7D

Reference Manual.

Best regards
