Writing system image to eMMC memory


Prerequisites

  • A complete package with NXP UUU application - uuu-visionsom-6ull.zip
  • Built and extracted system image file called image.wic (from Yocto build tmp/deploy/images/visioncb-6ull-std/imx-image-multimedia-visioncb-6ull-std.wic.bz2)
  • Built bootloader binary u-boot.imx (from Yocto build tmp/deploy/images/visioncb-6ull-std/u-boot.imx or prebuilt binary for SoMLabs Debian SoMLabs-VisionSOM-6ULL-Debian-2020-08-u-boot.imx)

Information

The uuu-visionsom-6ull.zip archive contains the compiled NXP uuu binary for Linux, the commands script and the bootloader supporting fastboot command. The script requires the image.wic and u-boot.imx files to be in the same directory.

Preparing

For programming a memory of VisionSOM-6ULL, switch boot selector to mode: SERIAL.

BOOTx Boot Mode
BOOT1 BOOT0
1 1 Reserved
1 0 Internal
0 1 Serial
0 0 Fuses


Connect the VisionCB-6ULL-STD board to the host PC using microUSB cable connected to the USB-OTG connector. To observe progress/error reports during programming, please use serial console. If you are using standard VisionSOM carrier board (VisionCB-6ULL-STD), this can be done by using build in serial/usb converter.

Programming VisionSOM eMMC memory

Flasher does not assume any specific partitions layout. It simply takes raw system image and writes it into the storage.

Linux host PC

For image programing, use command:

sudo ./uuu vsom-6ull-cmds

Windows host PC

For image programing, use command:

uuu.exe vsom-6ull-cmds

Programming progress

At the console, a progress bar will appear:

If the process ends with success, the following information will be shown on the console:

The serial terminal output will look like this:

The SoM will not boot due to present boot selector setup. Revert the boot selector back to: INTERNAL and press RESET. The board should start booting.
