Errors when using uuu to flash an IMX8MPLUSEVK

[duglew60]

I'm working with a i.MX 8M Plus EVK.  My host is a Windows 10 computer.

I've downloaded the file LF_v5.15.71-2.2.2_images_IMX8MPEVK.zip.

I'm following the instructions on this NXP web page: https://www.nxp.com/document/guide/getting-started-with-the-i-mx-8m-plus-evk:GS-iMX-8M-Plus-EVK?sect...

The flash operation fails.  Below is the output from powershell:

PS C:\mytemp\uuu> .\uuu.exe LF_v5.15.71-2.2.2_images_IMX8MPEVK.zip
uuu (Universal Update Utility) for nxp imx chips -- libuuu_1.5.125-0-gaeb3490

Wait for Known USB Device Appear...
Error: fail open file: >LF_v5.15.71-2.2.2_images_IMX8MPEVK.zip/uuu.auto

PS C:\mytemp\uuu> ls

-a---- 11/17/2023 8:43 AM 1286656 uuu.exe

When I look into the zip file the uuu.auto does not exist but the file uuu.auto-imx8mpevk exists in the top level of the zip file.  I've tried this with the board powered on and powered off before I issue the uuu command and get the same results.

Should I be using different parameters?

Thanks,

Doug

Hi @duglew60, 

Thank you for contacting NXP Support.

You will need to unzip the file. Then, select a .wic file that you would like to program on your i.MX8M Plus, it can be a multimedia image or full image.

Finally, use the UUU tool to load the image in the EVK.
Here is an example command for UUU tool.

uuu -b emmc_all imx-image-full-imx8mpevk.wic

Have a great day!
