With the help of fastboot_imx_flashall scripts, you do not need to use fastboot to flash Android images one-by-one manually.
These scripts will automatically flash all images with only one command.
fastboot can be built with Android build system. Based on Section 3, which introduces how to build android images, perform the
following steps to build fastboot:
$ cd ${MY_ANDROID}
$ make -j4 fastboot
After the build process finishes building fastboot, the directory to find the fastboot is as follows:
• Linux version binary file: ${MY_ANDROID}/host/linux-x86/bin/
• Windows version binary file: ${MY_ANDROID}/host/windows-x86/bin/
The way to use these scripts is follows:
• Linux shell script usage: sudo fastboot_imx_flashall.sh <option>
