Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about the boot issues you’re experiencing with your Colibri iMX6DL modules. Based on your description, the problem might be related to a known issue with certain batches of Macronix eMMC memory, which can enter a “Forced Read Only Mode.” This condition can prevent the system from booting properly after a software restart.
To address this, you can use the MMCTool provided by Toradex to check if your modules are affected and, if necessary, perform a repair. Here’s how you can proceed:
-
Check for the Issue:
- Use the MMCTool to verify if your module is affected by the “Forced Read Only Mode” issue. This tool will automatically check the eMMC and determine if a fix is needed.
-
Repair the eMMC:
- If the tool indicates that a repair is necessary, it will guide you through the process. The repair involves running a sequence of commands to restore the eMMC to its normal state.
- The tool will display progress on the device screen and log the process, ensuring you can track the repair.
-
Post-Repair:
- Once the repair is complete, the eMMC should function correctly, and your modules should boot normally after a software restart.
If your modules are not affected by this specific issue, or if the problem persists after following these steps, further investigation into other potential causes, such as software configurations, may be necessary. However, addressing the eMMC issue is a critical first step given the symptoms you’ve described.
I hope this helps resolve the issue. Please proceed with caution and ensure you have the necessary setup to run the MMCTool.
Best regards,
Toradex AI Assistant
