<WRAP round info 60%>
 we suggest to read the following pages before you proceed with this page\\   
  - [[@lang@:@mod_arch@:@mod_name_code@:@bsp_name@:prepare|preparing Development Host]]
  - [[@lang@:@mod_arch@:@mod_name_code@:@bsp_name@:build_bsp|Building BSP with PTXdist]]
  - [[@lang@:@mod_arch@:@mod_name_code@:@bsp_name@:adapt_bsp|Customizing BSP for own Product]]
  </WRAP>
  


Finally, you will find the built images in //platform-<platformname>/images//. 

{{page>en:@mod_arch@:@mod_name@:@bsp_name@:ptx_images}}

==== Create SD Card with BSP Image ====

To install a new firmware use SD cards. To copy the built images on the host system to a connected card type:
<code bash>
$ cd <BSP project>/platform-<platform_name>/images
$ sudo dd if=@mod_name_code@_hd.img of=/dev/sdf bs=1M conv=fsync #Assuming the SD card is assigned to /dev/sdf
</code>
<WRAP round tip>You have to use the raw device of the SD card not a partition!</WRAP>
To find out what device file the SD card has, type "dmesg" after you connect the card to see the system messages.
At the bottom you'll see some "Attached scsi ..." messages along with something like:
<code bash>
[ 8197.588395]  sdf: sdf1
</code>

==== Selecting Devicetree in U-Boot   ====
\\
Starting with BSP REV.0110 a firmware partition that contains all device tree blobs and the linux kernel image has been introduced.

To change the devicetree you can select it from the firmware partition.\\
\\
1. Boot from eMMC or SD and stop autoboot in U-Boot
<code>Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
=></code>
2. To determine the mmc device that is currently selected run the //mmc dev// command. 
<WRAP round info 60%>
mmcdev 0 = eMMC
mmcdev 1 = SD Card
</WRAP>
3. The firmware partition is formated with vfat. To list all files in the partition U-Boot provides the fatls coammnd.
<code> => fatls <interface> <dev:part>
</code>
++++For eMMC use:|
<code>=> fatls mmc 0:1 </code>
++++
++++For SD-Card use:|
<code>=> fatls mmc 1:1</code>
++++
5. The U-Boot variable fdt_file is used to select the the device tree that should be loaded by U-Boot. Please set this variable according to the file you want to use.
<code>=> setenv fdt_file <filename> 
=> saveenv</code>
++++ Example| <code>=> setenv fdt_file imx6q-mba6a-hdmi.dtb
=> saveenv </code>\\
++++

==== Updating existing firmware over ethernet ====
\\
To update bootloader / kernel / devicetree in a running system you have to copy the images in your tftp directory and upload them to the eMMC or SD Card.\\  



Please see [[en:general_information:tftp|How to setup TFTP Server]]


1. Boot from eMMC or SD and stop autoboot in U-Boot\\
<code>Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
=></code>\\

2. Set U-Boot variable //mmcdev//  according to the drive you want to write to
<code>=> setenv mmcdev <Nr.></code>
<WRAP round info 60%>
//mmcdev 0// = eMMC\\
//mmcdev 1// = SD Card\\
</WRAP>

3. Connect device via ethernet to a tftp server supplying the image\\
4. Provide the correct network configuration in U-Boot: 
  * => setenv autoload no
  * => setenv serverip <serverip> (e.g.: setenv serverip 192.168.100.110) 
  * => setenv ipaddr <ipaddr> (e.g.: setenv ipaddr 192.168.100.111)
  * => setenv netmask <netmask> (e.g.: setenv netmask 255.255.255.0)
\\
5. Provide U-Boot the file name of the desired image on the tftp server: 
  * For U-Boot update: => setenv uboot <filename>\\
  * For Device Tree update: => setenv fdt_file <filename>\\
  * For Kernel update: => setenv zimage <filename>\\
\\
6. Perform Update: 
  * U-Boot update: => run update_uboot\\
  * Device Tree update: => run update_fdt\\
  * Kernel update: => run update_kernel\\

<WRAP round info>
The u-boot update scripts automatically implement the selection of the primary copy to boot.

==== Copy Firmware from SD card to eMMC using U-Boot ====

  * Write Image to SD card (use dd command under linux or Win32diskImager under Windows)
  * Set Starterkit to boot from SD, please see [[en:arm:tqma6x:starterkit|DIP Switch Settings]]
  * Interrupt the boot process to get to the U-Boot prompt 
  * Use the following command to copy the SD card to eMMMC 

=== Generic command === 

<code> 
mmc dev 1 && mmc rescan && mmc read ${loadaddr} 0 (number of blocks)  && mmc dev 0 && mmc rescan && mmc write ${loadaddr} 0 (number of blocks)
</code>

<WRAP round important>
You have to set the number of blocks according to the image size to read entire data that is stored on the SD card and write the same number of blocks to the eMMC.\\
**Formula to calulate the number of blocks**\\
Size of SD card image in bytes / 512. Convert the result to a hex value.\\
Since the data is stored in the SDRAM on the module the size of the image must not exeed the size of the SDRAM.
</WRAP>

++++Example for precompiled SD card image included in BSP Rev.0109|

   * Size of uboot_tqma6q_hd.img in byte = 276.824.064
   * 276.824.064 / 512 = 540.672
   * 540.672 converted to hex value = h840000

<code>
mmc dev 1 && mmc rescan && mmc read ${loadaddr} 0 0x84000  && mmc dev 0 && mmc rescan && mmc write ${loadaddr} 0 0x84000
</code>
++++
\\


==== Copy rootfs from SD card to eMMC ====

The rootfs is located in the second partition of the SD card/eMMC  please see [[en:arm:tqma6x:linux:ptxdist:adapt_bsp#partition_scheme|Partition Scheme]] 

example for TQMa6Q   

<code bash>
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p2 of=/dev/mmcblk1p2 bs=1M
</code> 

<WRAP round important 50%>
please keep in mind to resize the eMMC rootfs partition,\\
if the rootfs size was changed in BSP configuration
</WRAP> 
\\

==== Using NFS boot ====
\\
== Prerequisites ==

  * [[en:nfs|How to setup the NFS Server on your Host Computer]] 
  * [[en:tftp|How to setup the TFTP Server on your Host Computer]]

== Configuration of U-Boot Environment ==

  * setenv autoload no
  * setenv serverip <IP> IP of the Computer that runs the tftp server and nfs server
  * setenv ipaddr <IP of the Starterkit>
  * setenv netmask <netmask of your network>
  * setenv rootpath <NFS share has to set in /etc/exports on the Computer that runs the NFS server first>
  * setenv fdt_file <name of devicetree file to be downloaded from the tftp server>
  * setenv zimage <name of the Linux kernel image to be downloaded from the tftp server>
 



===== TQMa6x serial downloader =====

<WRAP round important> You have to set the Starterkit to boot-mode "serial downloader", please see [[en:arm:tqma6x:mba6x:dip_switches|MBa6x DIP switch settings]]
</WRAP>
<WRAP round info>
We recommend to use Ubuntu 14.04 64bit for the imx-usb tool
</WRAP>


Starting with TQMa6x-BSP-REV.0109 we deliver a Linux tool to upload U-Boot into the TQMa6X RAM from your development host and start it.
After building the BSP the tool is located under \\   
**.../TQMa6x-BSP-REV.0109/platform-MBa6x/packages/h-imx_usb_loader-master**\\  

You have to apply the following steps before you can start to work with the tool:

  * Copy the content of folder .../TQMa6x-BSP-REV.0109/platform-MBa6x/packages/host-imx_usb_loader-master/usr/etc/ to /etc 
  * Copy the content of folder .../TQMa6x-BSP-REV.0109/platform-MBa6x/packages/host-imx_usb_loader-master/usr/bin/ to /bin
 
==== Usage of serial downloader tool ==== 

  - Set Starterkit to boot-mode "serial downloader", please see [[en:arm:tqma6x:mba6x:dip_switches|MBa6x DIP switch settings]]
  - Connect Starterkit connector X8 (Micro USB cable provided with the Starterkit) to your host
  - Connect Starterkit connector X15 (RS232) to your host
  - Power up Starterkit
  - Please check that Linux recognized a new USB device, see output of command **dmesg | grep -i usb**. You should see something like the following :<code>usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Freescale SemiConductor Inc 
hid-generic 0003:15A2:0054.0002: hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Device [Freescale SemiConductor Inc  SE Blank ARIK] on usb-0000:02:03.0-1/input0
</code>
  - Open a serial terminal on your host e.g. TeraTerm
  - Open a Linux terminal and naviagate to folder "images" in the BSP dirctory\\  e.g. **/home/embedded/TQMa6x-BSP-REV.0109/platform-MBa6x/images**\\   
  - Start the serial downloader **imx_usb** as super user with the desired U-Boot as parameter <WRAP round important>Keep in mind to select a U-Boot that is corresponding to your module, please see [[en:arm:tqma6x:linux:ptxdist:deployment]]</WRAP>e.g.<code>embedded@ubuntu:~/workspace/TQMa6x-BSP-REV.0109/platform-MBa6x/images$ sudo imx_usb u-boot-TQMa6Q_MBa6x.imx</code>host console output after starting the serial downloader<code>config file </etc/imx-loader.d/imx_usb.conf>

Next steps are:\\
  * write U-Boot using tftp to eMMC, see [[en:arm:tqma6x:linux:ptxdist:deployment#updating_existing_firmware_over_ethernet|Updating existing firmware over ethernet]]  
  * write kernel image using tftp to eMMC, see [[en:arm:tqma6x:linux:ptxdist:deployment#updating_existing_firmware_over_ethernet|Updating existing firmware over ethernet]]
