Dear Linaro-Dev-Team,
we tried to getting started with the Freescale i.MX6Q Sabre Lite Boardand have some errors that you have mentioned at your homepage https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/MX6QSabreLite: "In case you somehow do not succeed with this procedure you will have to use the manufacturing tool in order to reflash the SPI-NOR. In that case please let me know and I can send you instructions how to program the new loader with the manufacturing tool." Please send us the instructions. Thank you. Torben Zeleny

Do you have the manufacturing tool for i.MX6? Or do you just need the instructions?

Hello Torben,
I can provide the instructions how to use the MFG-Tool.
Please note, that this tool works in Windows and not Linux and that I am not completely aware, in which state you will receive this tool from Freescale (I cannot provide the tool, please ask FSL to receive it). I will describe the steps based on my installation.
Please read them carefully until the end, before you execute them.
- Connect the SabreLite via the USB-OTG port to your PC and start the MFG-Tool - In the left bottom corner of the MFG-tool main window you will find the status information field containing Profile, status, version. - Click "Scan devices" (most likely nothing will be found) - Choose Options->Configuration...->USB-Ports and search for something like "Linux-File-Stor..." or "HID-device..." or similar and check this device - Choose Options->Configuration...->Profiles and check the right bootloader from "Options". It could be something like "Sabre-lite-SPI_NOR-1" [1] - Afterwards press the green start button on the right bottom corner and wait until the action is complete. - In the end insert the SD-Card created with lmc or whatever, unplug the board from the OTG-port and boot the board as normally.
Please note: This description comes without any warranty. In case of any open questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
[1] The bootloader of your choice can be identified from the config-file in the installation directory: - Open <install_Dir>\Profiles\MX6Q Linux Update\OS Firmware\ucl.xml with your favorite editor - Search for the bootloader name which is something like "MX6_SPI_to_SD_loader.bin" and check the name which will be showed in the Options column which could be e.g. name="Sabre-lite-SPI_NOR-1"
Best regards, Philipp ---

Hi, Trodden
I am checking with Freescale for this. So far answer I copied below: - Note: "not available at Freesacle's external website" usually means it is still not released to public.
Richard and I are still checking for that. Will update you once we got more information.
Thanks. Best regards, Guodong Xu

Hi, Torben
After confirmation with Freescale, the binary format of manufacturing tool is uploaded here. I have a README file for check. Can you give it a try?
http://people.linaro.org/~guodongxu/myupload/freescale_tools/
Please follow Philipp's steps. And let us know whether this fixes your problem. After that, I can update Linaro's wiki page accordingly. And for sure your input can help lot of others. :)
Thanks. Best regards, Guodong Xu

Hello Guodong, Torben,
I tried the mfg-tool release and basically it works. However, the NOR to SD loader binary is not included and also not the boot option. So you have to modify the ucl.xl [1], to match your needs. I can check my own profile and try to prepare one especially for Linaro-SD3, in case you would like to have one. (Most likely I can provide one by tomorrow).
@Guodong: I can also update the wiki or create an own page for the MFG-Tool, when I have tried the release and prepared a profile.
Best regards,
Philipp
