I'm trying to update the Portenta x8 as per this tutorial:
I'm using a Portenta breakout board.
Steps taken
- downloaded and extracted 436 release files from GitHub
- flipped both DIP switches ON
- connected to Mac via USB
- ran
$ uuu full_image.uuu
Result
❯ uuu full_image.uuu
uuu (Universal Update Utility) for nxp imx chips -- libuuu_1.4.193-0-ge56424c
Success 0 Failure 1
0:1 1/ 1 [detach kernel driver failure ] SDP: boot -f imx-boot-mfgtool
Have tried several times using both the uuu_mac binary provided with mfgtool-files-portenta-x8 as well as running an installed version via brew.
I'm not familiar enough with this tool to tell what's wrong and how to attempt fixing. As far as I can tell the Portenta is connected via USB OK:
❯ uuu -lsusb
uuu (Universal Update Utility) for nxp imx chips -- libuuu_1.4.193-0-ge56424c

0:1 MX8MM SDP: 0x1FC9 0x0134 0x0101
Current OS version running on the Portenta:
$ cat /etc/os-release
ID=lmp-xwayland
NAME="Linux-microPlatform XWayland"
VERSION="3.3.2-399-83-21-g3ad61e0"
VERSION_ID=3.3.2-399-83-21-g3ad61e0
PRETTY_NAME="Linux-microPlatform XWayland 3.3.2-399-83-21-g3ad61e0"
HOME_URL="https://foundries.io/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://support.foundries.io/"
LMP_MACHINE="portenta-x8"
LMP_FACTORY="arduino"
LMP_FACTORY_TAG="devel"
I'm thinking this may be a Mac thing but don't have access to a Windows PC to test.
Any help would be much appreciated.
