Instructions to use the Armadeus U-Boot recovery utility.
If you think you bricked your board by flashing a bad bootloader, don't worry: there is a solution to recover it, without a JTAG probe. Indeed i.MX processors have an internal "bootstrap" mode that allow them to communicate through RS-232 or USB just after a reset.
Introduction
- The uboot_recover tool is a Python piece of code that allows you to automatically install a new U-Boot from scratch or to recover it in case of failure. uboot_recover requires the python and pyserial packages to be installed on your PC:
$ sudo apt-get install python-serial python-usb
This utility communicates with the i.MX(L/27/28/51/6/6UL) processor while in bootstrap mode (See i.MX(L/27/28/51/6/6UL) Reference Manual for more informations).
- To enter the bootstrap mode, you have to put the bootstrap jumper and reset your Armadeus board:
 On the APF9328DevLight |
 On the APF9328DevFull (Boot) |
 On the APF27Dev (J12) | |
 On the APF51Dev (Boot) |
 On the APF28Dev |
 On the APF6Dev (off BOOT0 & on BOOT1) |
 |
- Instructions to know how to do it and in which order is given by the recover tool, depending on your platform.
Usage
- Quit all Kermit/Minicom/GTKTerm/Hyperterminal sessions connected to the board through Serial Port.
- Go inside the software/uboot_recover/ directory and launch (sudo usage is required on APF28, APF51, APF6 and OPOS6UL):
$ cd software/uboot_recover/ $ sudo python xxxx_recover.py (xxxx depends on the version of your board (ie: apf9328, apf27, apf28, apf51, apf6 or opos6ul))
- The tool will ask you to specify the serial port on which the board is connected. Under Linux please use /dev/ttySx or /dev/ttyUSBx and under Window$ use COMx.
- Others information have to be given, depending on your platform:
| APF9328 | APF27 | APF51 | APF28 | APF6 | 'OPOS6UL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The size of the SDRAM has to be indicated. Default value is 16Mo. The tool will then try to synchronize with the i.MX (on APF9328 only). When you see that message, reset your board: Re-synchronizing... Please reset your board in bootstrap mode ! Please reset your board in bootstrap mode ! Please reset your board in bootstrap mode ! Please reset your board in bootstrap mode ! loading file ramprogrammer.bin. Please wait... |

--- APF6 Bootstrap Tool --- Procedure to follow: 1] Be sure to: * have built the APF6 BSP (make apf6_defconfig; make), * have "sb" tool installed (On Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install lrzsz), * have launched this script as root (sudo). 2] Power off your board, close all serial terminal sessions, remove all USB cables 3] Take jumper off BOOT0 pin and put it on BOOT1 pin. 4] Power on your board 5] Connect a USB cable from your PC to the APF6Dev OTG miniUSB connector 6] Connect a USB cable from your PC to the APF6Dev console miniUSB connector --- Enter serial port number or device name to use for console (/dev/ttyUSB0 under Linux (default) or COMx under Window$): |
--- OPOS6UL Bootstrap Tool --- Procedure to follow: 1] Be sure to: * have built the OPOS6UL BSP (make opos6ul_defconfig; make), * have "sb" tool installed on your PC (on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install lrzsz), * have launched this script as root (sudo). 2] Power off your board, close all serial terminal sessions, remove all USB cables 3] Take jumper off BOOT1 pins and put it on BOOT0 pins. 4] Power on your board 5] Connect a USB cable from your PC to the OPOS6ULDev OTG miniUSB connector 6] Connect a USB cable from your PC to the OPOS6ULDev console/debug miniUSB connector --- Then, enter serial port number or device name to use for console (/dev/ttyUSB0 under Linux (default) or COMx under Window$): |
- After having entered the tools parameters and pressed ENTER, the following messages are displayed:
 |
Note: If nothing happens, verify your bootstrap jumper is put and try to reset your board.
At last, check your serial port device is the right one and don't forget to quit all kermit/minicom instances before launching uboot_recover tool ! |

- At the end, you can specify whether the environment variables (IP, your special scripts...) have to be erased or not. If your board does not start anymore after a first uboot_recover, please respond 'y'.

Note: If all went fine, don't forget to remove the bootstrap jumper if you want to restart the board in its normal boot state |
