Hello,
We are using a i.MX6 based board. We have been able to run Android successfully on the board. I've built the Genode demo image for the ARM processor by using the Wandboard build configuration (hw_wand_quad). I have successfully generated an image of Genode demo in the build directory named "demo.img".
Can I load the generated Genode image onto the eMMC flash of the board using MfgTool? If so, can you please guide me on how it can be done?
Probably, yes. I never used that tool. Once when writing a permanent Genode image to an i.MX53 eMMC I copied over an u-boot image via Linux/Android and booted it via the already installed u-boot loader.
Anyway, I doubt that you should write an ext2 disk image to the eMMC, assuming that you produced that 'demo.img' image with Genode's run tool (by using something like RUN_OPT += --include image/disk). The run tool's 'disk' plugin does not produce a bootable disk image that can simply used by some ARM platform, because it does not contain a usable boot-loader for ARM. Instead you probably have to install boot-loader and Genode image separately. I you are using u-boot on the target platform already, you can use the u-boot image that gets generated when using Genode's run-tool 'uboot' plugin (RUN_OPT += --include image/uboot).

Thanks in advance, Kranthi
