FreeRTOS hello world application on Cortex-M4 of VF61

I am following this link to load my hello world application to store on flash and run it on boot. Everything goes smooth until I came to following command.

setenv create_m4firmware 'ubi part ubi && ubi remove rootfs && ubi create m4firmware 0xe0000 static && run prepare_ubi'

When I run this command on U-boot, it gives me error that prepare_ubi command not found. The same happen with the update_rootfs command.

Can anyone help me to locate the definition of these commands?

What is the u-boot and image version you have on the module? What is the output of “version” from u-boot command line? You are probably running an older version of things on the module. Please update.

U-boot version is U-Boot 2015.04+fslc+gb66337d (Jun 10 2016 - 12:28:27). Isn’t it latest?

Did you execute “run setupdate” before trying create_m4firmware? Also note that it would be recommended to use the latest 2.6.1 image as it would have the required kernel drivers built as modules and deployed in the root filesystem. If you use an older image, you would have to build the kernel and deploy the modules to the root file system yourself.

The latest U-Boot is V2.6.1 and should have a banner like this:

U-Boot 2015.04+fslc+g46aa70c (Sep 29 2016 - 21:58:20)

I am following the exact steps given in documentation but when I run the m4boot 0x3f000000 command from u-boot, my VF61 is resetting.

Are you using the latest image? Please use the latest image. The u-boot version you shared earlier shows an older u-boot and image version being used.

Which one is latest? Can you share me the link? I have VF61 module with following sticker on it.
Col VF61 256MB IT
V1.2 A
04899424

You can download the latest 2.6.1 image for Vybrid from here.

I used this image and prepared SD card. Then I inserted that SD card into VF61 evaluation board and entered following commands.

I checked into colibri_vf directory, there is no vf610-colibri-dual-eth.dtb. What’s the problem?

The u-boot environment variable fdt_file seems to be set to the device tree blob used for Dual Ethernet board. Did you change it at any point of time previously?. Run “env default -a” before executing “run setupdate” and continue please as before.
