How to build MFG Firmware for i.MX6Q

in the <<Manufacturing Tool V2 linux or Android Firmware Development Guide V2.doc>>, it says"

  1. 1. Add Mfgtool configuration header file in : ${u_boot_root}\include\configs

The file name should align with existing configuration file name.  Ex. mx6q_sabresd.h is used to generate normal U-Boot and mx6q_sabresd_mfg.h is used to generate the U-Boot for MFGTool firmware.


I know how to build normal uboot, but can someone tell me how to build firmware for MFGTOOL, it seems there is none document to show how. I was confused for two days, looking forward to your help.^_^

Rick, thx a lot for your pdf file. but the information is based on SabreSD board. But i designed my customer board based on SabreAuto board, use eMMC as boot devices. I traced the code, there are different.

The following is my step to build uboot:

1) make mx6q_sabreauto_mfg_config

2) make

build uImage is as below:

1) make imx6_updater_defconfig

2) make uImage.

Howerver, there is not any log output from Uart4, the mfg tool stop on "jumping to OS image".

If I use u-boot-mx6q-sabresd.bin as mfg tool firmware, it can run more step, and UART1 can output many u-boot log.

I don't know why, do you have any idea?

Hi Jianhua,

If you change debug port from UART1 to another one, you have to change it in u-boot.

If your DRAM is different (dram size and manufacturer) with freescale EVB, you have to modify DRAM parameters too.

Its hard to say what should modify in u-boot source code for your customization board; but as mention above, you need to confirm debug port and DRAM first.

- you can change different debug port assign in mx6q_sabreauto.h

- you can modify DRAM parameters in flash_header.S (reference with i.MX6 DDR Stress Test Tool V1.0.2)

hope it can help you.
