Added pinmux import file support for i.MX6 DualPlus, Dual, DualLite, QuadPlus, Quad, SLL, Solo, SoloLite, and SoloX. i.MX6 SoloX – Added DDR (Tune & Test), Program MMC, Scan Plus, Scan Ethernet, Scan MMC, and Scan […]

Kozio provides a complete functional Ethernet test for validating the entire circuit board path. The VTOS Scan Ethernet product provides configurable packet testing, packet data verification, speed testing, single port testing, multiple port testing, and exceptional fault isolation. Feature Summary: Simple Ethernet Test Configuration Kozio provides embedded run-control software that runs on your circuit board design […]

Overview VTOS firmware automatically manages the memory map of the target processor.  In this mode you create program, erase, lock, unlock, and read operations by specifying the byte offset within the flash device to access.  The example below demonstrates a Flash Erase Operation configured for a NOR Flash device. In this instance, the erase operation […]

Release date: 30-jun-2017 What’s New Added support for a user defined memory map and user defined local bus timings for NOR Flash devices under VTOS Program NOR. Added support for VTOS Scan USB for the NXP QorIQ T2xxx processor family. New VTOS Runner feature to loop tests for counted iterations or minutes. VTOS Runner also […]

VTOS Runner is a tool for running automatic circuit board tests. The tool provides a simple test executive allowing you to string multiple tests together. You can test DDR, Ethernet, USB, MMC, NAND, SPI, I2C, and run custom tests; then run flash programming – all in a single configuration. This tool is provided by Kozio at […]

This post describes how you can load VTOS firmware onto any i.MX6 circuit board design using Kozio’s iMX USB Loader and a USB connection. This process will work on any i.MX6 design for loading VTOS firmware and running DDR or functional circuit board  tests, as well as programming flash memories. imx_usb_loader.exe is a PC tool modified […]

Release date: 20-jun-2017 What’s New Added support for selecting the active partition for eMMC devices. Added fuse programming support for i.MX6 devices to VTOS Program MMC and VTOS Program MMC Ethernet. Issue: Corrected an issue where CodeWarrior Connection Server processes were not being exited properly after a connection failure. This only affects target connected using […]

The following is a short tutorial demonstrating how you can program the fuses on any i.MX6 circuit board design. This demonstration uses the VTOS Program product from Kozio. Also used is a USB and Serial connection to the target i.MX6 reference board – we used both a SABRE and Neutrino reference board. The process uses […]
