| How to Update U-Boot on pico-imx6q/dl boards
 | |
| --------------------------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Required software on the host PC:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - UUU: https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools
 | |
| 
 | |
| Build U-Boot for pico:
 | |
| 
 | |
| $ make mrproper
 | |
| $ make pico-imx6_defconfig
 | |
| $ make
 | |
| 
 | |
| This generates the SPL and u-boot-dtb.img binaries.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. Loading U-Boot via USB Serial Download Protocol
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note: This method is convenient for development purposes.
 | |
| If the eMMC has already a U-Boot flashed then the user can
 | |
| go to step 2 below in order to update U-Boot.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Put pico board in USB download mode (Refer to the following link for details:
 | |
| https://developer.technexion.com/docs/pico-evaluation-kit-boot-mode-settings )
 | |
| 
 | |
| Connect a USB to serial adapter between the host PC and pico.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Connect a USB cable between the OTG pico port and the host PC.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Open a terminal program such as minicom.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Copy SPL and u-boot-dtb.img to the uuu folder.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Load the U-Boot via USB:
 | |
| 
 | |
| $ sudo ./uuu -v uuu_script
 | |
| 
 | |
| where uuu_script contains the following:
 | |
| 
 | |
| SDP:  boot -f SPL
 | |
| SDPU: write -f u-boot-dtb.img -addr 0x10000000
 | |
| SDPU: jump -addr 0x10000000
 | |
| 
 | |
| Then U-Boot starts and its messages appear in the console program.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Use the default environment variables:
 | |
| 
 | |
| => env default -f -a
 | |
| => saveenv
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2. Flashing U-Boot into the eMMC
 | |
| 
 | |
| The  default  U-Boot   environment  expects  the  use   of  eMMC  user
 | |
| partition. To ensure we are using  the proper eMMC partition for boot,
 | |
| please run:
 | |
| 
 | |
| => mmc partconf 0 0 0 0
 | |
| 
 | |
| Next, run the DFU agent so we can flash the new images using dfu-util
 | |
| tool:
 | |
| 
 | |
| => dfu 0 mmc 0
 | |
| 
 | |
| Flash SPL and u-boot-dtb.img into the eMMC running the following commands on a PC:
 | |
| 
 | |
| $ sudo dfu-util -D SPL -a spl
 | |
| 
 | |
| $ sudo dfu-util -D u-boot-dtb.img -a u-boot
 | |
| 
 | |
| Remove power from the pico board.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Put pico board into normal boot mode.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Power up the board and the new updated U-Boot should boot from eMMC.
