SD-card in nboot

RSchubert · Sep 8th 2017

Dear support-team,

on armstoneA9 sd-card will not be found in nboot.
Version:

"F&S Nand Loader VN29 built Aug 9 2016 11:40:32"
"armstoneA9 Rev. 1.10"

I tried with 4GB and 2 GB micro-sd.

Any idea? Thanks.

EDIT: For now it seems sd-card is not working at all (even in u-boot and in kernel).

SD-Card is not supported in i.MX6 nboot

Does it mean that if we go into production with 100+ devices we have to load u-boot, device tree and rootfs manually by typing the commands into putty?

SD card still does not work in NBoot. This has rather low priority here because there are other ways to reach the same goal. But SD card does work in U-Boot and Linux. Installing software is usually done by using our update/install system in U-Boot. See section 6.4 in the Linux FirstSteps documentation. Usually you put the files on a USB stick or SD card and then you can install your system completely automatically without having to type one single character manually. You can also update U-Boot from U-Boot in this procedure, you do not necessarily need to do this from NBoot.

Thanks for your answer. SD is working in u-boot and in kernel. I know how to update kernel and rootfs from SD but I do not know how to update u-boot from u-boot.
Any hint?

Do it exactly like with the kernel, just use the UBoot MTD partition instead of the Kernel partition. Download the new U-Boot image (by TFTP or from USB stick or SD card), then call:

Code

nand erase.part UBoot
nand write $loadaddr UBoot $filesize

Thanks. It's working that way.
