Hello, I am trying to flash a linux image from E-boot as per instructions: “Flashing Embedded Linux to Vybrid Modules”
However I get the following error when trying to flashload u-boot:
Error opening image file. The file must be in the root folder of the first part.
I am using a Colibri VF61 V1.2A and iris V1.1A. And the E-boot version that came with the Colibri was “Toradex Bootloader 1.2 for Colibri Built Sep 4 2015”
Up to this point everything was running smoothly. I am using a sd card with a FAT32 partition. I have tried copying the u-boot-nand.imx outside of the “colibri-vf/” folder and execute both of these commands with the same error.
flashloader colibri_vf/u-boot-nand.imx
flashloader u-boot-nand.imx
I have tried using multiple sd-cards with no success and even different host machines to flash the image.
What am I doing wrong?
Also note that this isn’t the first time I am encountering a problem flashing a Linux image into Colibri. Every single time I bypassed this by flashing from scratch using the recovery mode. But It doesn’t seem right to me that I would have to do that every time I wanted to install Linux.
Thank you in advance.
I think some versions of Eboot had troubles with certain partition tables. Can you make sure to re-partition the SD card and recreate a FAT file system?
I have just tried formatting the micro sd card using only one partition using a FAT file system. I have tried with FAT32 and FAT16. No luck, same errors.
And partition table msdos. It seems to be correct to me, unless I am missing something.
Can you please download this → https://share.toradex.com/6w62obxo0hanb43 and use Win32DiskImager to burn it to SD card and try to flash u-boot then.
just type flashloader u-boot.imx
This worked and installed u-boot without needing to go through the recovery mode.
But is this a problem for recent versions of e-boot? Because it happened with all of my Colibri VF61?
so far I figured out that some SD cards have issues. I have some that work and some that don’t so I created you the image of one that works. I think you could also use update tool to flash u-boot. Just download latest image from web and copy Update Tool to SD Card/USB drive. Boot Windows and run Update tool selecting u boot file
I understand, thank you for the answers and all the help. I will try using the update tool next time.
I am trying to update uboot from eboot.I am using iris carrier board with vf50 module.So i’m getting below error,
