Hello,

To access the boot menu on your Colibri iMX6 module, please ensure your serial connection is correctly configured. Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

  1. Verify Serial Connection:

    • Ensure that the USB serial adapter is properly connected to the UART_A port on your Colibri evaluation board.
    • Check the COM port number in Windows Device Manager to ensure you are connecting to the correct port in TeraTerm.
  2. Configure Terminal Emulator:

    • Set the terminal emulator (TeraTerm) to the correct baud rate, typically 115200 bps, with 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
    • Ensure that the terminal is set to display all incoming data.
  3. Accessing the Boot Menu:

    • Power on the device and immediately press any key in the terminal emulator to interrupt the boot process and access the U-Boot prompt.
    • If the boot menu does not appear, verify that the serial cable and adapter are functioning correctly by testing with another device or cable.
  4. Removing Boot Text from Splash Screen:

    • To remove boot text, you will need to modify the U-Boot environment variables. This typically involves setting the console variable to null or removing it entirely to prevent output during boot.
    • Access the U-Boot prompt and use commands like setenv console null and saveenv to apply changes.

I hope these steps help you access the boot menu and make the necessary changes. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,
