Hello BSenkel ,
please enter the serial number and press the Enter-Key instead of the button. I am working on a new release which will fix this!
An updated version of the FSInstaller has just been released on MyF&S.
Version 1.2.1 fixes an issue where the error message incorrectly stated that the entered serial number had an invalid number of digits.
Added features:
Hello BSenkel ,
thank you for your message.
Have you entered the serial number by copy / pasting it into the text box?
In this case, I found a possible bug and am working on a fix. I will inform you about a new release!
In the meantime, please try to enter the serial number by typing it instead of pasting.
An updated version of the FSInstaller has just been released on MyF&S.
Version 1.2.0 introduces several new features:
The included README has been updated and provides more information about these new features.
The FSInstaller is a recovery tool for the i.MX8 and i.MX93 series and provides a simple way to restore the firmware on your board to a working U-Boot.
Simply enter the serial number of your board and download a release for your architecture from within this tool.
Connect the board with your PC via USB, set the board into recovery mode and start the installation of U-Boot.
For more control you can also select custom releases and recovery files that are stored locally on your PC.
This tool is a replacement for the previous Recovery Tool with added support to run on Linux.
It can be downloaded for Windows and Linux from MyF&S.
We gladly announce our new software CANscan, a tool for testing and demonstration purposes of the CAN bus communication. It is designed to work on F&S devices with Windows IoT LTSC platform. With CANscan, you can receive messages sent over the CAN bus and also send messages to other bus participants. It can be used to validate your CAN device and connection to the CAN bus.
It is similar in function to the CAN TestTool, but equipped with a modern user interface powered by Avalonia UI.
This software is written in C#, using the .NET framework. .NET and the additional implementation of Avalonia UI as GUI framework create the potential for cross-platform adaptability in future iterations.
You can download CANscan now and test it on your F&S board. The attached executable is compiled for ARM64 devices.
We just released a new software on GitHub, giving you examples how to use various hardware interfaces with .NET8 on Linux:
https://github.com/FSEmbedded/FusDotnetDemo
FusDotnetDemo implements the official .NET IoT Libraries from Microsoft, which make it easy to use the hardware features of F&S Boards.
Examples for following peripheries are implemented:
- GPIO
- CAN
- I2C
- SPI
- UART
- PWM
- LED
- Audio
- Camera
The software is written in C# and the graphical user interface is built with Avalonia UI.
A tutorial on how to add .NET to your Buildroot or Yocto image and more can be found in this document: DOTNET on F&S Boards
At the moment, the software is tested to run on a PicoCoreMX8MPr2 with a Yocto image installed.
However, it should also work on other Boards (given that .NET is already installed), but there won't be default values set, for example which GPIO pin to use etc.
You can find these values in the Hardware Documentation for each Board.
