how to stop the boot process?

Question

Hello, first I was working with the wi-imx53 qsb but now I am working with the connectcore 6 sbc. I was following the imx6 documentation http://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/90001945-13/
My board had already an uboot and an android operative system.
I want to build a linux image to install a qt app.
First I did the step 3 in the digi embedded yocto in the documentation (Step 3: Program the Yocto firmware), now the boot precess starts automatically (without boot delay) then I cant stop the boot process.
I dont know how change the bootdelay variable because the android os that I have doesnt accept the bootcmd command.
I need a little help, I am a little lost.
Thanks

Answer 1

you can try ubootenv command from linux shell. Not sure if it's available with yocto. otherwise build a u-boot that has a hardcoded value for boot delay. Boot via microsd, flash that u-boot. chnge bootdelay in nvram, reflash normal u-boot

Comments

the ubootenv is not available. Sorry but how can I do that? Build a u-boot, boot via microsd, flash that that u boot, and change bootdelay in nvram?

I could boot from micro SD how explain here http://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/90001945-13/#task/yocto/t_faq_boot_from_usd_yocto.htm
How do you flash that u-boot and change the bootdelay and reflash the normal u-boot?

This shows how to update images, including u-boot:

But flashing stock u-boot is probably not enogh. You would need to compile your own u-boot that ignores bootdelay, first

---

it looks like ubootenv is part of DE1.4 so it should be there. IS it available when you boot from uSD? is not flash those, it should be there:

No, when I boot from uSD It's not available ubootenv, but there is a fw_setenv and fw_printenv commands that sets and prints de environment variables.
I need to build or install a linux embedded but I have an android in my connectore 6. The uboot in that android doesnt have bootdelay time and I cant stop the booting.
I could boot from uSD, but I have not ethernet connection (I tried do PING but nothing)

---

if you have fw_setenv and fw_printenv why can't you use them? if you boot from uSD , can you upgrade from images on usb stick? The module is the same for android and Linux. but if it's getting too complicated just RMA the module

---

I'm a little lost here, I want to install a linux in my connectore but the connectore have an android, I want to erase that android and install the linux, the problem is that I cant't stop the booting because the boootdelay is zero, I'm looking a way to change the bootdelay from the android os.
I could boot a linux from the uSD card but how can I put this linux in the flash?

---

if you can boot from uSD, you should be able to make changes to NVRAM. What stopps you from changing boot delay?
setenv bootdelay 10
saveenv
Also you even if you can't access ethernet, just make changes to partition table, so module no longer boots. delete linux/kernel partition. Next time you boot it should drop to uboot after failure to find kernel

---

Yes, I could boot from uSD, but when I change the boot delay only change the bootdelay variable of the uSD, the u-boot in te eMMC doesn't change.
I realize that existd two or four partitions but I dont know how makes change it. Here I past the enviorement variables that print in the u-boot from uSD

Hello, I could do It. I booted from the USB, update the boot, and did dboot linux mmc. From the Linux I change the bootdelay with fw_setenv bootdelay and then reseted the connectore and stopped again, and then I did update to the kernel and rootf.
Thanks for your time
Regards
