Description
Recovery procedure consist from following steps:
- Loading bootloader binary over USB using Mfgtools feature
- Flashing new bootloader over Ethernet using TFTP
- Erasing bootloader environment
- Reseting module
- Creating a new SD card containing filesystem (if needed)
Updating bootloader
Using Mfgtools
If the board is unable to boot (e.g. when bootloader was deleted or not transferred successfully), USB Booting option should be used to load the image file.
From TFTP server
Download the U-Boot image (on computer acting as TFTP server):
cd /srv/tftp/imx6/ wget http://downloads.voipac.com/files/iMX6_OpenRex_SBC/software/uboot/binaries/u-boot-imx6-openrexultra-2.4.imx
Update the bootloader in U-Boot:
setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.150 setenv serverip 192.168.0.1 mw.b 0x10800000 0xFF 0x80000;if tftp 0x10800000 imx6/u-boot-imx6-openrexultra-2.4.imx; then if sf probe 2:2; then sf erase 0x0 0x80000;sf write 0x10800000 0x400 0x7fc00; fi; fi reset
From SD card
Creating SD card in Linux
Create VFAT partition:
sudo fdisk /dev/sdX
Unplug/plug SD card and format the partition afterwards:
sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1
Copy bootloader to the SD card:
cd /media/user/61B3-D9BF wget http://downloads.voipac.com/files/iMX6_OpenRex_SBC/software/uboot/binaries/u-boot-imx6-openrexultra-2.4.imx
Update the bootloader in U-Boot:
mw.b 0x10800000 0xFF 0x80000; if fatload mmc 0:1 0x10800000 u-boot-imx6-openrexultra-2.4.imx; then if sf probe 2:2; then sf erase 0x0 0x80000;sf write 0x10800000 0x400 0x7fc00; fi; fi reset
Erasing bootloader environment
OpenRex U-Boot > env default -f -a ## Resetting to default environment OpenRex U-Boot > saveenv Saving Environment to SPI Flash... SF: Detected SST26VF032B with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 4 KiB, total 4 MiB Erasing SPI flash...Writing to SPI flash...done
Creating bootable SD card
Follow these steps to prepare the SD card
