This page describes how to flash [https://downloads.voipac.com/index.php?p=iMX93_Industrial_Development_Kit/module/software/filesystem binaries] into iMX93 Industrial Module's eMMC Flash memory or into SD card that is located on the iMX Development Baseboard. 

'''''Note: All of the steps listed below are NOT REQUIRED for standard configuration modules and development kits.'''''

== Installing Universal Upload Utility (UUU) ==
=== Linux ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
git clone https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools.git
cd mfgtools
mkdir .build && cd .build && cmake .. && make -j`nproc`
</syntaxhighlight>

The binary called '''''uuu''''', which is used for flashing, is located in .build/uuu directory.

=== Windows ===
* Go to: https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools/releases
* Select the latest stable release. Example: '''''Releases/uuu_1.5.201''''': https://github.com/nxp-imx/mfgtools/releases/tag/uuu_1.5.201
* Download: [https://github.com/nxp-imx/mfgtools/releases/download/uuu_1.5.201/uuu.exe uuu.exe]
* Save the file into: C:\uuu

== Preparing the binaries ==
* Download the default WIC filesystem image e.g. for pro configuration: [https://downloads.voipac.com/files/iMX93_Industrial_Development_Kit/module/software/filesystem/voipac-image-imx93-pro.rootfs.wic voipac-image-imx93-pro.rootfs.wic]

== Flashing procedure ==
* Set serial downloader mode by sliding DIP switch S1 BOOT positions to: 1-OFF, 2-ON
[[File:iMX8M_Industrial_Development_Kit-Serial_donwloader_mode.png|400px]] 

* Plug USB Micro-B cable to baseboard CONSOLE connector and PC '''''Note:''''' Make sure that UART1 and UART2 jumpers are in CP2105 positions (USB/UART bridge). 
[[image:iMX Development Baseboard-Serial console jumpers-iMX93 COM.png|594px]] 

* Plug USB-C cable to baseboard USB-C connector and PC '''''Note:''''' Powering of the development kit is not required during the flashing procedure. '''''Note:''''' After connecting 2 development board cables, 2 serial ports named ''Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge'' should appear in the controlling PC. 
[[image:iMX8M Industrial Development Kit-Serial-consoles-recognized.png|594px]] 
* Default Serial Port Settings
[[File:Serial Port Setup.png]] 

* Download and copy imx-boot and *.wic files into ''uuu\'' directory
* Choose one of the following commands to start the flashing process:
=== eMMC Flash Memory (default) ===

==== Linux ====
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo ./uuu -b emmc_all voipac-image-imx93-pro.rootfs.wic
</syntaxhighlight>

==== Windows ====
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
uuu.exe -b emmc_all voipac-image-imx93-pro.rootfs.wic
</syntaxhighlight>

=== SD Card ===

==== Linux ====
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo ./uuu -b sd_all voipac-image-imx93-pro.rootfs.wic
</syntaxhighlight>

==== Windows ====
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
uuu.exe -b sd_all voipac-image-imx93-pro.rootfs.wic

== Running the newly flashed binaries ==
After completing the above steps, eMMC Flash memory or SD Card is flashed and the following steps are to be performed to boot the new image:

* Unplug USB-C cable from PC
* Set Boot mode by sliding DIP switch S1 BOOT positions to: 1-ON, 2-OFF
[[File:iMX8M_Industrial_Development_Kit-Boot_mode.png|400px]] 

* In case of SD card boot set DIP switch S1 BOOT positions to 1-ON, 2-ON
[[File:SD Card booting.png|400px]] 

* Make sure that S2 BOOT and S3 BOOT DIP switches are in correct positions in order to boot from the selected storage media (eMMC Flash memory or SD Card):
==== eMMC Flash Memory boot (default) ====
[[File:boot eMMC iMX93.png|400px]] 

==== SD Card boot ====
[[File:boot SD Card iMX93.png|400px]] 
* Connect USB Micro-B debug cable, switch on the power and the development kit starts booting with the new binaries 

== Setting DTB file ==
* To set a correct DTB file, stop autoboot.

* Use these commands to set a DTB file for the image loaded in eMMC:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
u-boot=>fatls mmc 0:1
u-boot=>setenv fdtfile imx93-voipac-evk.dtb
u-boot=>saveenv
</syntaxhighlight>

* Use these commands to set a DTB file for the image loaded in SD Card (example for BOE Display):
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
u-boot=>fatls mmc 1:1
u-boot=>setenv fdtfile imx93-voipac-evk-boe-wxga-lvds-panel.dtb
u-boot=>saveenv
</syntaxhighlight>

[[File:imx93_dtb_setting.png|740px]] 

* To boot the image, reset the board or type the boot command:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
u-boot=>boot
</syntaxhighlight>
