I am trying to flash Ubuntu to eMMC So can anyone give me a simple procedure for that ?

gsgill112
gsgill112 over 11 years ago

I am trying to flash Ubuntu to eMMC of the board using MFG Tools 4.1.0

Steps i have followed are :

 

1. Downloaded image_SVN2487 and MfgTool2 Folder

2. Copy the contents of the image folder in ..../os firmware/files

3. check the cfg.ini and modify it accordingly. I am using "i.MX6SOLO-ubuntu-RIOT-eMMC" which is there by default.

and while starting the app i get an Error saying no such configuration defined.

4. So, I checked the ucl2.xml file in os firmware folder which had "i.MX6SOLO-yocto-RIoTboard-eMMC" as a platform.

5. I changed "i.MX6SOLO-ubuntu-RIOT-eMMC" --> "i.MX6SOLO-yocto-RIoTboard-eMMC" in the cfg.ini file and the app started.

6. After successful flashing of the firmware, I connected the board and nothing came image

 

So , can anyone help me with this. If i am doing something wrong ?. or can someone please upload some proper links as many of the links on element14 is not valid.

 

P.S. I have also tried the embdest.com link and failed. image

    Thanks for a quick reply Tushar,
    I have used the above for flashing Android which I was able to without any problem.(Well all issues were resolved browsing through the blogs)

     

    The Real issue is with the Linux System.

    The Above tools.zip has MFG Tool with the ucl2.xml file containing only "Android-RIOT-SD" and "Android-RIOT-eMMC". No linux Configuration.

     

    Further there seams to be a bug in the ucl2.xml file in the above MFG Tool Folder. It seems to load "files/android/u-boot-mx6solo-riot.bin"

    but with the SVN2597 Image Folder includes "u-boot-mx6solo-RIoTboard.bin" On changing the above line the MFG tool seams to give some error. So I let the tool use the "u-boot-mx6solo-riot.bin" only .

    Further this Website RIoTboard has a list of Tools and bin folder's but only Android work.

    P.S. They have Source included as a separate download. image image . I am new to compiling from source, I am trying to understand the business.

    I recommend trying with pre-build linux binaries first :

    Refer this document : http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-68087/l/riotboard-updating-os-images-in-linux-environment

     

    You can get started by flashing the binaries & using SDCARD as bootable medium.
