Linux 燒錄方法 (Linux Flash eMMC Method)

1. 創建一個可以開機的SD Card (Create a bootable SD card )

先確認SD卡在Ubuntu 系統(x86) 所認到的SD卡代號 ( Check the SD card symbol in Ubuntu System (x86)

Command: sudo fdisk - l

2. 燒錄鏡像到SD 卡中. (Flash Image into SD card)

Command : sudo dd if=3720A1AIM30LIVA0333_iMX8MP_6G_2021-10-05.img of=/dev/sdf bs=1M conv=fsync

3. 將flash tool 拷貝到U盤 (Cpye the eMMC flash tool into USB Disk )

4. 設定終端機(Set Debug Terminal)

Debug 串口調試 (Debug port Setting)

以 Tera Term 為例介绍如何使用串口調試功能 ( Tera Term is kind of terminal tool , we need to set the parameter (Baud Rate , Data, Parity, Stop, Flow Control ) into "Tera Term terminal tool " )

   波特率(Baud Rate)：115200
   數據位(Data)：8
   奇偶校驗(Parity)：无 (none)
   停止位(Stop)：1
   流控(Flow Control)：无 (none)

Tera Term Tool

Check the Sriel port in Device Manager (查看PC端的串口號)：

if you can not identify the Serial device , please check your serial driver.

5. 將可開機的SD 卡插入 SD 插槽, 並打開電源開機 (Plug into the SD card into SD Card Slot , then turn on the power)

6. 確認撥碼開關為 SD 卡開機模式 (Check the Switch)

SD 卡開機: 1, 2 on (Set the SD card boot up mode , 1 on 2 on )

'eMMC 開機: '2 on ( Set the eMMC boot up mode , 2 on , others off)

7.打開電源,由終端機可看到開機訊息 (Turn on the power , you will see the debug message from Terminal tool )

8. 開機後請再重新開機一次,系統將會重新劃分磁區大小. (If you can not not copy the eMMC flash tool into root file system , please reboot the device , because , the system will the reconfigure the partition )

9. 燒錄eMMC前, 請將U盤插入USB port (Please pulg the USB Disk into USB port before flash eMMC)

10. 在系統確認U盤 (Check the USB disk in the Yocto System (Device side) )

11. 將flash tool 燒錄鏡像,拷貝到根目錄 (Copy the flash tool into root file system)

12. 解壓縮 flash tool (Unzip the flash tool )

13. 執行燒錄eMMC (Exeucte the eMMC flash script )

Note: eMMC : /dev/mmcblk2

14. 移除SD卡 ,重新開機,並切換撥碼開關 　（Remove the SD card , Change the Switch to eMMC mode , then reboot the system)

15. 從eMMC 開機,debug 訊息 (You will see the debug message when you boot up from eMMC flash )

env save
reset

Or

Disable debug port

(1) Yocto machine setting:

modify /sources/meta-advantech/meta-fsl-imx/conf/machine$/${MC}.conf

SERIAL_CONSOLES = ";"

(2) Uboot parameter setting:
