__TOC__
=Overview=
This page presents a guide about how to recover your board when it is not booting.
In order to recover your board, some components are required to be built in specific folders.
Required components:
# U-Boot
# Flash Image
# USB Loader
Define a building directory:
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
RECOVERY_DIR=~/Nitrogen8M-recovery
mkdir $RECOVERY_DIR
</syntaxhighlight>
=Dependencies=
Install required dependencies for Nitrogen8M recovery:
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
sudo apt-get install crossbuild-essential-arm64 libusb-1.0-0-dev pkg-config
<syntaxhighlight>
=U-Boot=
Clone Boundary Devices repository using your desired U-Boot version.
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
BRANCH=boundary-v2018.07
cd $RECOVERY_DIR
git clone https://github.com/boundarydevices/u-boot-imx6 -b $BRANCH
</syntaxhighlight>
Define toolchain for building the source code.
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
</syntaxhighlight>
Build kernel and device tree.
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
DEFCONFIG=nitrogen8m_defconfig
cd $RECOVERY_DIR/u-boot-imx6
make $DEFCONFIG
make -j4
</syntaxhighlight>
=Building Image=
In order to generate the final flash file, '''imx-mkimage''' tool is required.
Download imx-mkimage tool as follows.
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
cd $RECOVERY_DIR
git clone https://github.com/boundarydevices/imx-mkimage.git
</syntaxhighlight>
Define required variables.
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
UBOOT_PATH=$RECOVERY_DIR/u-boot-imx6
</syntaxhighlight>
Create the flash image.
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
cd imx-mkimage
./make_boundary.sh
</syntaxhighlight>
At this point, a '''flash.bin''' file should be created under '''$RECOVERY_DIR/imx-mkimage/iMX8M'''.
=USB loader=
Before flashing the board, build the flashing tool '''imx_usb''' as follows.
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
cd $RECOVERY_DIR
git clone git://github.com/boundarydevices/imx_usb_loader
cd imx_usb_loader
make
</syntaxhighlight>
=Flashing Board=
Finally, under RECOVERY_DIR you must have 3 directories:
# imx-mkimage: Image to flash.
# imx_usb_loader: Flashing tool.
# u-boot-imx6: U-Boot used by image to flash.
Set your board to '''Serial Download''' mode, set the boot switch position as follows.
[[File:Nitrogen8m_recovery_sw.png|400px|center|Boot switch on Nitrogen8M]]
[[File:Nitrogen8m_recovery_sw.png|400px|center|Boot switch on Nitrogen8M]]
Now, connect the board to a host machine using the OTG port.
Check with '''lsusb''' if your board is detected.
Output example:
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
user@laptop:~$ lsusb | grep NXP
Bus 001 Device 047: ID 1fc9:012b NXP Semiconductors
</syntaxhighlight>
Before flashing, check '''mx8mq_usb_work.conf''' in RECOVERY_DIR/imx_usb_loader which contains the required files.
As example, the Nitrogen8M with 2 GB RAM requires the file '''bl31_2g.bin''' in '''mx8mq_usb_work.conf'''.
In order to flash the board, run the following command:
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
sudo ./imx_usb
</syntaxhighlight>
Output example:
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
