| How to use U-Boot on Freescale MX6UL 14x14 EVK |
| ----------------------------------------------- |
| |
| - Build U-Boot for MX6UL 14x14 EVK: |
| |
| $ make mrproper |
| $ make mx6ul_14x14_evk_defconfig |
| $ make |
| |
| This will generate the SPL image called SPL and the u-boot.img. |
| |
| 1. Booting via SDCard |
| --------------------- |
| |
| - Flash the SPL image into the micro SD card: |
| |
| sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k seek=1; sync |
| |
| - Flash the u-boot.img image into the micro SD card: |
| |
| sudo dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k seek=69; sync |
| |
| - Jumper settings: |
| |
| SW601: 0 0 1 0 |
| Sw602: 1 0 |
| |
| where 0 means bottom position and 1 means top position (from the |
| switch label numbers reference). |
| |
| - Connect the USB cable between the EVK and the PC for the console. |
| (The USB console connector is the one close the push buttons) |
| |
| - Insert the micro SD card in the board, power it up and U-Boot messages should |
| come up. |
| |
| 2. Booting via Serial Download Protocol (SDP) |
| --------------------------------------------- |
| |
| The mx6ulevk board can boot from USB OTG port using the SDP, target will |
| enter in SDP mode in case an SD Card is not connect or boot switches are |
| set as below: |
| |
| Sw602: 0 1 |
| SW601: x x x x |
| |
| The following tools can be used to boot via SDP, for both tools you must |
| connect an USB cable in USB OTG port. |
| |
| - Method 1: Universal Update Utility (uuu) |
| |
| The UUU binary can be downloaded in release tab from link below: |
| https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools |
| |
| The following script should be created to boot SPL + u-boot-dtb.img binaries: |
| |
| $ cat uuu_script |
| uuu_version 1.1.4 |
| |
| SDP: boot -f SPL |
| SDPU: write -f u-boot-dtb.img -addr 0x877fffc0 |
| SDPU: jump -addr 0x877fffc0 |
| SDPU: done |
| |
| Please note that the address above is calculated based on SYS_TEXT_BASE address: |
| |
| 0x877fffc0 = 0x87800000 (SYS_TEXT_BASE) - 0x40 (U-Boot proper Header size) |
| |
| Power on the target and run the following command from U-Boot root directory: |
| |
| $ sudo ./uuu uuu_script |
| |
| - Method 2: imx usb loader tool (imx_usb): |
| |
| The imx_usb_loader tool can be downloaded in link below: |
| https://github.com/boundarydevices/imx_usb_loader |
| |
| Build the source code and run the following commands from U-Boot root |
| directory: |
| |
| $ sudo ./imx_usb SPL |
| $ sudo ./imx_usb u-boot-dtb.img |
