The Flash-N-Go infrastructure (or FnG infrastructure) is a software product for NXP i.MX Edge devices created by SECO. Consisting of three parts: Flash-N-Go Boot, Flash-N-Go System and Flash-N-Go Update; it provides a convenient way of booting, flashing, testing and updating edge devices. FnG Infrastructure is available on the following series of devices:
Products of the SAN* family of devices with i.MX6: SANTARO, SANTOKA, SANTINO,…
NALLINO with i.MX6ULL
TANARO with i.MX8MM

FLASH-N-GO:/# xconfig
Usage: $0 [command] [options]
Script to manipulate the XML-configuration data of GuF i.MX Boards
inside the NAND Flash.
xconfig expect one of the following commands to define its behavior:
list show the current contents of the XML-configuration as
obtained from NAND
import import an external XML-configuration file into the NAND
Flash
addnode add a new (empty) XML node
delnode delete XML node(s) and its/their children
addattribute add a new or change an existing attribute
delattribute delete an existing attribute
If no command and option given xconfig will display its version and exit.
Syntax:
xconfig list [-v] [-p <path>]
-v show whole (sub)tree instead of summary, the format is
suitable to be used as input to "xconfig import"
-s search for a specific pattern
-l show long path syntax instead of xml
--node filter result by node name, basic wildcards are allowed
--attribute filter result by attribute name, basic wildcards are allowed
format is either
--attribute linux* matches all nodes that have
an attribute starting with linux or
--attribute key="value" matching nodes that
have an attribute 'key' with the value 'value'
-p <path> path to subtree, e.g.:
-p /configurationFile/variables/setting[@key='enable_serialdiag]
if omitted, the whole tree is shown
xconfig import [-v] [-y] [-b] <file>
-v be verbose
-y assume yes - apply changes without user interaction
<file> path to file to import
-b deprecated - do not use
xconfig addnode [-y] -p <path> -n <name>
-y same as above
-p <path> path to parent node
-n <name> name of new node
xconfig delnode [-y] -p <path>
-y same as above
-p <path> path to node
xconfig addattribute [-y] -p <path> -n <attr-name> -v <value>
-y same as above
-p <path> path to parent node
-n <attr-name> name of the attribute
-v <value> new value of attribute
xconfig delattribute [-y] -p <path> -n <attr-name>
-y same as above
-p <path> path to parent node
-n <attr-name> name of the attribute
xconfig listattributes -p <path>
-p <path> path to node
xconfig getattribute -p <path> -n <attr-name>
-p <path> path to parent node
-n <attr-name> name of the attribute |

Some features of on older devices are only supported by older releases of our FnG Infrastructure. For example, FnG Update will only work with FnG System 15 and below. If you have an older device and need those features, please contact our Technical Support for the appropriate installation procedure. |
Manual System Update
The manual system update considers a manual operating system (OS) installation via a console. The progress can be done locally using mass storage devices or using a network connection. The update process described here requires an Ethernet connection of the device to a development PC, either directly or via intranet. Also, a TFTP-Server or HTTP-Server is required on the development PC. There are several, also free, TFTP-Servers and HTTP-Servers online available. Please make sure that the timeout settings of the TFTP-Server are set to 60 seconds at a minimum. The installation of target OSes, and Flash-N-Go System and Flash-N-Go Boot should work via console one- or two-liners. All device partitioning, deployment actions should be done by shell scripts executed by the simple command. See Booting Flash-N-Go System for instructions on how to boot into the management system.
