Generate a flash.bin#

Get the basic images and the imx-mkimage source repository from corresponding Linux BSP release. These below basic images can to be put into imx-mkimage/iMX94:

- oei-m33-ddr.bin

- m33_image.bin m33_image-mx94alt.bin: this image is generated by the command: make config=mx94alt all; m33_image-mx94evk.bin: this image is generated by the command: make config=mx94evk all`;

- m70_image.bin (demo binary name for cortex-m7 core0 in M7MIX0)

- m71_image.bin (demo binary name for cortex-m7 core1 in M7MIX1)

- m33s_image.bin (demo binary name for cortex-m33 core1 in NETCMIX)

- <lpddr type name>_dmem_qb_v202409.bin(lpddr type name: lpddr5)

- <lpddr type name>_dmem_v202409.bin

- <lpddr type name>_imem_qb_v202409.bin

- <lpddr type name>_imem_v202409.bin

- u-boot.bin

- u-boot-spl.bin

- bl31.bin

- tee.bin

- mx943a0-ahab-container.img

Note:
- mx94evk.cfg for m33_image.bin of System Manager is used for examples rpmsg_lite_pingpong_rtos_linux_remote, rpmsg_lite_str_echo_rtos_remote.
- mx94alt.cfg for m33_image.bin of System Manager is used for almost other examples.
Copy the binary built by ARMGCC/IAR into imx-mkimage/iMX94 and rename the file name to m70_image.bin or m71_image.bin or m33s_image.bin(depending on the demo binary).
Generate flash.bin.
- make SOC=iMX94 OEI=YES flash_all LPDDR_TYPE=lpddr5 (Boot up Cortex-A cores and Cortex-M cores[cortex-m33 core1, cortex-m7 core0, cortex-m7 core1])
```
or
```
- make SOC=iMX94 OEI=YES flash_m33s_m70_m71 LPDDR_TYPE=lpddr5 (Boot up Cortex-M cores[cortex-m33 core1, cortex-m7 core0, cortex-m7 core1])
Note:
- For IMX943 OrangeBox, use the following command:
  - make SOC=iMX94 OEI=YES flash_m33s_m70_m71 LPDDR_TYPE=lpddr5
  or
  - make SOC=iMX94 OEI=YES flash_all LPDDR_TYPE=lpddr5
- Use the below valid combination of demos to avoid resource conflict:
  - Any demo on cm33_core1, hello_world demo on cm7 core0 and cm7 core1
  - Any demo on cm7_core0, hello_world demo on cm33 core1 and cm7 core1
  - Any demo on cm7_core1, hello_world demo on cm33 core1 and cm7 core0
Burn flash.bin to MicroSD/eMMC at 32 K(0x8000) offset with dd or HxD or UUU and then plug the MicroSD card to the board.

For example:
- Burn flash.bin into Micro SD card with dd
  
  dd if=flash.bin of=/dev/sdh bs=1k seek=32 && sync
- Burn flash.bin into SD/eMMC with UUU
  1. Connect the USB Type-C port to the PC through a USB cable. It is used for downloading the firmware of the board.
  2. Switch to the serial downloader mode(USB1) by setting SW10[1:4] = x001. The used boot core is cortex-m33 core0.
  3. Burn flash.bin with uuu using one of the following commands:
    
    For emmc, use: uuu -b emmc imx-boot-imx943-orangebox-sd.bin-flash_all flash.bin
    
    For sd, use: uuu -b sd imx-boot-imx943-orangebox-sd.bin-flash_all flash.bin
  Note:
  - flash.bin. The flash.bin is generated by the third step(Generate flash.bin).
Change the boot mode to SW10[1:4] = x011 for sd boot and SW10[1:4] = x010 for emmc boot.
Power on the board.
