Preparing rescue SD-Card:
== Preparing rescue SD-Card: ==


* Plug-in supplied SD card to your Linux machine, run dmesg and see what device is added (i.e. /dev/sdX or /dev/mmcblk0)
* Plug-in the supplied SD card to your Linux HOST PC, run dmesg and see which device is added (i.e. /dev/sdX or /dev/mmcblk0)
* gunzip mx6qd-som-nand-recovery-sd.v22_1.img.gz (Available from Variscite's FTP)
* Download mx6-som-nand-recovery-sd.vXX.img.gz ( latest which is available on Variscite's FTP)
* sudo dd if=mx6qd-som-nand-recovery-sd.v22_1.img of=/dev/sdX bs=128k  
<pre>$ gunzip mx6-som-nand-recovery-sd.XX.img.gz
$ sudo dd if=mx6-som-nand-recovery-sd.vXX.img of=/dev/sdX bs=128k
Replace /dev/sdX with your true device, You can find it with dmesg.

Variscite provides a recovery SD-card image that can be used to install the pre-built U-Boot, Linux kernel and the UBI file system into the Nand-Flash This SD card image includes a script (nand-recovery.sh) that installs all the boot images and root file-system.

Preparing rescue SD-Card:

  • Plug-in the supplied SD card to your Linux HOST PC, run dmesg and see which device is added (i.e. /dev/sdX or /dev/mmcblk0)
  • Download mx6-som-nand-recovery-sd.vXX.img.gz ( latest which is available on Variscite's FTP)
$ gunzip mx6-som-nand-recovery-sd.XX.img.gz
$ sudo dd if=mx6-som-nand-recovery-sd.vXX.img of=/dev/sdX bs=128k
Replace /dev/sdX with your true device, You can find it with dmesg.

Recover Nand Flash

  • Power-off the board.
  • Insert the SD card into the SD/MMC slot of the carrier board (DVK)
  • Press and hold the boot-select button, and power-on the board while button is pressed
  • The board will automatically boot into Linux from SD-Card

Flash from GUI

  • Push Android-eMMC flash Android into eMMC.
  • Push Yocto-nand flash Yocto into nand.
  • Push Yocto-eMMC flash Yocto into eMMC. This option require changes in u-boot environment.

Flash from command line

  • Login as root (no password)
  • From Linux command line, type one of flash options
$ android-emmc.sh - flash Android into eMMC
$ yocto-emmc.sh - flash Yocto into eMMC (See note below)
$ yocto-dart.sh - flash Yocto into eMMC DART only.
$ yocto-nand.sh - flash Yocto into nand
  • in case of yocto-emmc.sh, change boot arguments to : 
$ setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 video=mxcfb1:off root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rootwait rw
$ saveenv
