Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

When I test lab0012_can_sbl, receive below error:

Debug: Device info: Manufacturer: 0, Device type = 0, Capacity = 0

Debug: Loading application metaImage from Flash address: c0040000
Error: Meta header absent!!!

Error: Could not download the metaimage to RAM. Trying to boot the backup factory default image.

Debug: Loading backup factory default image from Flash address: c0180000
Error: Meta header absent!!!

Error: Could not download the backup factory default image metaimage to RAM. Resetting the board to retry

sbl failed loading default image from Flash address: c0180000.

My question is how I can put a backup image to that Flash address. Can I use UniFlash to do that?

Kind regards

Default CAN-Flasher tool is capable to write the image at c0040000 location.

For backup/factory image you need to use uniflash.

Thanks. Can you please tell how to write the backup/factory image by using uniflash. I want to write both backup/factory image and sbl to device by using uniflash. Is there a place to set the flashing location for sbl and backup/factory image in uniflash?
