Did you setup environment with sudo or a different users? ---

> I set up with sudo …my system wont run the source setup…x without sudo Then that is the problem to solve first. It is not allowed to use sudo in any of the commands. I do not know what would case this command: ``` source setup-environment nxp ``` To get permission errors. ---

Can you disconnect and reconnect the USB OTG cable while viewing the system logs on your build host? I’m not sure which specific file for your host but on Ubuntu 18 it’s /var/log/syslog by default. It seems like your board is not being enumerated on the USB bus on your host. ---

Is the format of your imx\_usb.conf correct, as it doesnt match the format i’m using? #vid:pid, config\_file 0x15a2:0x0054, iw-spl-usb.conf 0x0525:0xb4a4, iw-uboot-usb.conf
