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.
