    The SDK offering for J721s2 currently supports 16GB DDR. 

    In order to make the SDK compatible to a 4GB DDR, please apply the below patch in ${PSDKLA}/board-support/u-boot-2021.01+gitAUTOINC+62a9e51344-g62a9e51344

    /cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/791/1323.DDR_5F00_4GB_5F00_Uboot.patch

    Note: 

    1. The above patch is created on SDK 8.6.

    2. Changes regarding the reduction in the DDR instance happens only in the u-boot.

    After applying this patch, build the u-boot binaries and copy the same to the boot partition as shown below:

    cd ${PSDKLA}
make u-boot_clean
make u-boot

sudo cp board-support/k3-image-gen-2022.01/tiboot3.bin /media/nikhil/BOOT/tiboot3.bin
sudo cp board-support/u-boot_build/a72/tispl.bin /media/nikhil/BOOT/tispl.bin
sudo cp board-support/u-boot_build/a72/u-boot.img /media/nikhil/BOOT/u-boot.img

    Verification: 

    Check the u-boot logs as shown below

    U-Boot 2021.01-00002-g7f1139c55f
