This page describes how to flash iMX8M Industial Module binaries into eMMC Flash memory or SD card.
Installing uuu (Universal Upload Utility) =
Linux
git clone ssh://git@github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools.git cd mfgtools mkdir .build && cd .build && cmake .. && make -j`nproc`
In .build/uuu directory there is binary called uuu which is used for flashing
Windows
- Go to https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools/releases
- Have look for last release. Example: Releases/uuu_1.4.182 https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools/releases/tag/uuu_1.4.182
- Download uuu.exe
- Save it to C:\uuu
Flashing procedure
For flashing eMMC or SD card we need to perform several steps:
- change switch position S1 BOOT to: 1-off, 2-on (serial downloader mode)
- plug USB-C cable to PC and to board USB C connector
- prepare imx-boot and *.wic files
- run following commands for flashing media
eMMC
Linux
sudo ./uuu -b emmc_all <path to imx-boot file> <path to wic file>
Windows
C:\uuu>uuu.exe -b emmc_all <path to imx-boot file> <path to wic file>
SD
Linux
sudo ./uuu -b sd_all <path to imx-boot file> <path to wic file>
Windows
C:\uuu>uuu.exe -b sd_all <path to imx-boot file> <path to wic file>
After those steps eMMC or SD card is flashed and perform following steps to boot new image:
- unplug USB-C cable from PC
- change switch position S1 BOOT to: 1-on, 2-off (boot mode)
- be sure that S2 BOOT and S3 BOOT switches are in proper position to boot from desired peripherals (eMMC or SD)
- connect debug UART and power on board and messages should appear on serial console
