Installing U-Boot to the NXP i.MX RT1170 EVK Board |
![]() |
Use the procedure documented below to install the U-Boot firmware to the QSPI Flash on the NXP i.MX RT1170 EVK board. Having completed the installation, the i.MX will run U-Boot as a primary firmware on next reset / power on. Please note that the installation will erase a previously installed firmware on the QSPI Flash and install the U-Boot image instead. There is the DAP-Link debugger integrated on the i.MX RT1170 EVK board (refer to OpenSDA circuit (DAP-Link) chapter of MIMXRT1170 EVK Board Hardware User’s Guide). The U-disk feature of DAP-Link is to be used to drag and drop the u-boot.flexspi image in order to install the U-Boot firmware to the QSPI Flash:
$ mount | grep RT1170 $ cp u-boot.flexspi /media/user/RT1170-EVK/ U-Boot 2017.09-rc1-imxrt-2.5.3 (Mar 31 2021 - 21:21:46 +0300) The bad CRC warning for the environment and the can't get kernel image error are expected on initial installation of U-Boot, since there are no neither an environment nor a Linux image saved in the QSPI Flash yet. Follow the instructions provided in Building and Installing Linux uImage on the NXP i.MX RT1170 EVK Board to install the bootable Linux image to the QSPI Flash. |
