2. Download the firmware
Download the firmware images from the following location: https://ftp1.digi.com/support/digiembeddedyocto/4.0/r7/images/ccimx6ulsbc/ccimx6ulsbc-installer.zip
3. Program the firmware
These instructions assume that the target U-Boot version is v2020.04 or higher, where the fastboot command is available.
|
Digi recommends you use the Universal Update Utility (UUU) through a USB connection to your development PC to program the images.
-
Decompress the zip file in a directory of your choice.
-
Download the latest Universal Update Utility (UUU), a software tool from NXP.
UUU version should be v1.5.11 or higher. -
Place the
uuu
executable in a directory in your PATH, such as/usr/bin
. -
Install
udev
rules to allow any user to runuuu
to access the USB port:$ sudo sh -c "uuu -udev >> /etc/udev/rules.d/70-uuu.rules" $ sudo udevadm control --reload
-
Connect a micro USB cable to your development PC and the other end to the target USB OTG connector.
-
Reset the device by pressing the reset button on the board and immediately press any key in the serial terminal to stop the auto-boot process. The U-Boot bootloader prompt displays:

Information in the console log may vary. -
On the target, in U-Boot, execute the following command:
=> fastboot 0
-
On your development PC, change to the directory where you extracted the ZIP file:
$ cd <zip-folder>
-
Program the image files:
$ ./install_linux_fw_uuu.sh
-
Once the firmware is installed, the device boots automatically. The default username is root with no password.
While the recommended boot method is NAND, you can also boot the image from a microSD card using the You must use a microSD with a minimum capacity of 8 GB. |
