I just today received my anticipated cc-imx93-kit and started to go through the step by step to get started.
When I boot the board and stop u-boot to load the fw image, I get the message that install_linux_fw_sd does not exist.
Looking at the u-boot information I find the u-boot is version 2022.04 which is not what the guide states.
I also see the device is an A0 device.
I already used diskpart to get the sd formatted as FAT, but still no luck. I also tried to use my linux VM where minicom connect fine and lets me run ‘fastboot 1’. I am assuming that it should stay in that position but the sh script just waits for a USB device to appear.
Is there an alternative way to get fw loaded?
EDIT:
I just saw that the fastboot 1 command creates the USB OTG and can be connected to my VM. So far so good.
Now the VM creates this message when starting to load using fastboot: 1:1 1/ 1 [Bulk(W):LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT ] fb: ucmd setenv stdout serial,fastboot
EDIT2:
I ran the following UBOOT command and think I need to figure how to run from mmc 1.
=> ls mmc 1

How do I get it to run when it does not behave as the guide expects?
I also tried to use my linux VM where minicom connect fine and lets me run ‘fastboot 1’. I am assuming that it should stay in that position but the sh script just waits for a USB device to appear.
You would need to transfer a fastboot USB device from host to the VM. it can be tricky.
Reading my edits will show that I have tried that already, and that run install_linux_fw_sd fails
I am thinking maybe running mmc dev 1; update uboot imx-boot-ccimx93-dvk-A0.bin will make the update so that the install will work?
