Windows users and unbricking an i.MX device
Published on June 30, 2013
For a while now, we've been planning to update our imx_usb tool to fully support Windows through libusb and Cygwin, but it looks like that isn't necessary.
We recently found out that Freescale has a tool called sb_loader that is a direct equivalent and is a Windows native program, so it doesn't require Cygwin.
Freescale distributes this tool as a part of their Manufacturing Tool, that you can download from here:
C:downloadssb_loadersb_loader>sb_loader.exe -f u-boot.imx
Executed plugin successfully.
Succeed to download u-boot.imx to the device.
Run into the image successfully.
Refer to our unbricking post for more information about how to use this to re-program or restore an image into the on-board flash.
