Hint: This procedure is intended only for manufacturing only and should be never applied for shipped TinyRex boards.
Info
This procedure will enforce loading firmware from SD3 port and will set unique MAC address.
Description
Production procedure consist from following steps:
- Short BOOT_MODE jumper on i.MX6 TinyRex board
- Connect UART port to serial terminal (115200 8n1)
- Connect USB_OTG port to host PC utilizing microUSB-USB cable
- Power on i.MX6 TinyRex board
- Execute Manufacturing toolkit at host PC
- Press Start button (The i.MX6 TinyRex board will boot firmware loaded over USB)
- Wait until firmware (u-boot) is booted (serial terminal)
- Burn efuses over serial terminal
- Remove BOOT_MODE jumper
- Power off i.MX6 TinyRex board
Requirements
- microUSB-USB cable
- UART cable
- 5V Power supply
- i.MX6 TinyRex board
- Windows PC (Mfg_tool, Serial terminal)

E-FUSES
This operation is not reversible and should be executed carefully. The i.MX6 soc must be replaced in the case of error.
Boot From SD3
fuse prog 0 5 0x00003040
fuse prog 0 6 0x00000010
Boot From SPI1
fuse prog 0 5 0x08000030
fuse prog 0 6 0x00000010
Boot From SD3 + SPI1 recovery
fuse prog 0 5 0x48003040
fuse prog 0 6 0x00000010
Boot From SATA
fuse prog 0 5 0x00001020
fuse prog 0 6 0x00000010
Boot From SATA + SPI1 recovery
fuse prog 0 5 0x48001020
fuse prog 0 6 0x00000010
MAC Address
For example 00:0D:15:00:D1:75
fuse prog 4 3 0x000d
fuse prog 4 2 0x1500d175
Test
Test procedure consist from following steps:
- Ensure that BOOT_MODE jumper is not present
- Plug uSD card with valid testing firmware.
- Power on i.MX6 TinyRex board
- On-module red LED must start flashing automatically (bootloader was executed and kernel is loaded)
- Power off i.MX6 TinyRex board
