Flash From Network Yocto system

Flashing a complete Yocto system from Network using TFTP & NFS

NOTES:
  1. Please make sure your host system is ready to use TFTP/NFS. Use our WIKI if required: TFTP & NFS
  2. Mix and match the nand-recovery version with the system you would like to flash.
  3. This is a concept Wiki. Please adopt it to your system and your requirements.
  4. Android can be flashed in the same way.

Build minimal file system

$ gedit ../sources/poky/meta/recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal-mtdutils.bb

Set the image to include: IMAGE_INSTALL += "mtd-utils imx-kobs mtd-utils-ubifs"
Build the system:

$ bitbake core-image-minimal-mtdutils

Create a root file system and copy files

$ mkdir ~/flash_rootfs
$ sudo tar xvf tmp/deploy/images/varsomimx6/core-image-minimal-mtdutils-varsomimx6.tar.bz2 -C ~/flash_rootfs
$ sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/varsomimx6/uImage /tftpboot
$ sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/varsomimx6/uImage-imx6dl-var-som.dtb /tftpboot/imx6dl-var-som.dtb
$ sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/varsomimx6/uImage-imx6dl-var-som-solo.dtb /tftpboot/imx6dl-var-som-solo.dtb
$ sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/varsomimx6/uImage-imx6q-var-som.dtb /tftpboot/imx6q-var-som.dtb

Insert nand-recovery into your host and copy files

$ sudo mkdir ~/flash_rootfs
$ sudo cp -a /media/rootfs/opt/images ~/flash_rootfs/opt/
$ sudo cp  /media/rootfs/sbin/nand-recovery.sh ~/flash_rootfs/sbin/

Boot into u-boot and change environment variables

$ setenv serverip <your host ip address>
$ setenv bootfile uImage
$ setenv nfsroot /ws/ron/yocto-dora-fsl-beta/rootfs_min
$ setenv console ttymxc0
$ setenv bootcmd 'run netboot'
$ boot

On the target flash your system:

$ nand-recovery.sh

a complete system is flashed into nand. Once the file system is built you can use it again and again to flash your VAR-SOM-MX6. You can update the images to use your images or custom nand-recovery.sh to your requirements.
