You need an adapter which you obviously don't have. I assume that if you would have one then you would know how to use it. It is something like this but probably on USB. Then you open Putty program and open serial port and you see lot of messages when system boots.

You probably mean revision v2.3? The answer for this is no. I got both my devices for free from a good friend named diabloss to get openelec running on it.

And I also think it should already work for v2.3 revision because mfgtool starts and already writes u-boot bootloader on it. But then something goes wrong.

MikeDotBe, check that file Profiles\MX6Q Linux Update\OS Firmware\partitition-emmc.sh exists.

hi,
yes, you have V2.3, but from user perspective that should be considered the same as 2.1 or 2.x

best regards,

If v2.3 is similar to v2.1 then MikeDotBe has problem only transferring data with MfgTool2 from Windows machine to matrix. But I don't know what is the problem. Published image is fine used by others already. Could be Windows version, admin rights, bad cables, ....

Yes i do have that file in both 4.95.3, 4.97.1 and 5.0.0
None of thoose version does install on the matrix.

As sais previously also tryed to do it with "run as admin", but got an error message sayin gthat mfgtools.exe can't be found (exe file is in the same directory as the reinstall.bat file).

here is the partition emmc file content
Code: Select All Code
#!/bin/sh

# SYSTEM partition size in MB
SYSTEM_ROM_SIZE=250

# set device
node=$1

# destroy the partition table
echo --------------------------------------
dd if=/dev/zero of=${node} bs=1024 count=1

# call sfdisk to create partition table
echo --------------------------------------
sfdisk --force -uM ${node} << EOF
,${SYSTEM_ROM_SIZE},0x0c
;
EOF

echo --------------------------------------
sfdisk -uM --list ${node}
echo --------------------------------------
#sfdisk -d ${node}
#echo --------------------------------------


exit 0

One last thing you can try. Open file cfg.ini and put this content in. Then right click on MfgTool2.exe and run as administrator.
If it doesn't work I'm out of ideas.
