Hello,

To upgrade your BSP from version 6 to version 7 on the iMX6ULL module with the Aster carrier board, please follow these steps:

  1. Preparation:

    • Ensure you have the ARM GNU Toolchain (version 9.2 or higher) installed on your host machine for cross-compilation.
    • Set up a directory on your host machine to store source and build files.

  2. Update U-Boot:

    • Clone the U-Boot source code from the official repository.
    • Configure U-Boot for the iMX6ULL module by selecting the appropriate defconfig.
    • Compile U-Boot to create the u-boot-dtb.imx binary.
    • Deploy the compiled U-Boot binary to your module. This step is crucial before upgrading the operating system.

  3. Upgrade the Operating System:

    • With U-Boot updated, proceed to flash the new BSP 7 image onto your module using the recommended Toradex methods.

  4. Verification:

    • After the upgrade, ensure the system boots correctly and all functionalities are operational.

Please remember to back up your data and configurations before starting the upgrade process.

I hope this helps you successfully upgrade your BSP. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Hi @Prial ,
You can simply use Toradex easy installer and flash the new image.
In case you need to do customization then you need to do the same process of customization that you did for BSP 6.
