How to upload prebuilt Yocto image to the eMMc

NXP i.MX8M Plus

Greetings!

I am using HummingBoard Pulse with iMX8M Plus SOM.
For our application I am trying to evaluate if it is possible to flash Yocto image to the internal eMMC storage and boot from it.

I have managed to upload Buildroot image to the eMMC with the help of UUU, by following instructions in this thread: USB OTG - using UUU tool - #2

I can see that there are some instructions related about eMMC here: https://solidrun.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/developer/pages/287179471/i.MX8M+ATF+U-Boot+and+Linux+Kernel
however I do not understand how would you mount an eMMC storage to the Host PC.

I am basically looking for two things:

  1. Is it possible to upload Yocto image to the eMMC?
  2. And if yes, what steps are needed to acomplish this, is there something special that needs to be done in the build process, or with the final image file or something else.

Thanks for the help.

I would appreciate at least some response from SolidRun, I am still stuck on this issue.

A yocto image can be uploaded the same as a Buildroot image. You can either use the UUU tool, or also over OTG using u-boot’s ums command, ums command — Das U-Boot unknown version documentation
