NAND Recovery introduction
As an easy and fast way to recover the VAR-SOM-AM43 NAND flash, Variscite provides a recovery SD card image that can be used to install the pre-built Linux and Android systems.
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 your SD card to your Linux machine, run dmesg and see what device is added (i.e. /dev/sdX)
- gunzip am43-som-nand-recovery-sd.vX.img.gz (get latest)
- dd if=am43-som-nand-recovery-sd.vX.img of=/dev/sdX bs=128k
Creating Variscite's prebuilt 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/sdb)
- Download am43-som-nand-recovery-sd.vX.img.gz from ftp://Customerv:Variscite1@ftp.variscite.com/VAR-SOM-AM43/Software/
$ zcat am43-som-nand-recovery-sd.vX.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=1M Replace /dev/sdX with your true device, You can find it with dmesg.
Connect target debug serial to linux host

to connect target serial debug port to host PC
Boot NAND recovery SD-Card
- Power-off the board.
- Insert the SD card into the SD/MMC slot of the carrier board (DVK)
- Push SW1 to SD-Card mode (On), and SW2 to non-eMMC (off)
- The board will automatically boot into Linux from SD-Card
- login as 'root', no password is required
NAND recovery script usage
NAND recovery script usage:
/sbin/nand-recovery.sh This script installs the Linux binaries on the VAR-SOM-AM43 NAND-Flash.
