While following this tutorial I could run ./update.sh -d perfectly then on the board I have this :

Colibri iMX7 # nand erase.chip
NAND erase.chip: device 0 whole chip
Erasing at 0x1ffe0000 -- 100% complete.
OK
Colibri iMX7 # run setupdate

I have the same problem when I try to do a run setupdate with a USB key plugged in… What do I have to do ?

Thank you for your help !

With the current release (V2.7 Beta 1) there is a known issue which does not support flashing from a USB flash drive (see also the warning in the preparation section in the Flashing Embedded Linux to iMX7 Modules article).

Ok thank you. So for the from scratch flashing I do need a SD card or flashing it over Ethernet?

Yes, or build your own U-Boot from the -next branch or wait a few more days for our Q1 2.7b2 release to see the light of day.
