LP-AM243: Ethernet bootloader support need on AM243x

Part Number: LP-AM243


Hi Experts,

Customers are evaluating our AM243x products and they want the following features:

Q1:they thinks that the UART/QSPI Flash is too slow, and SD card is not convenient for product integration, and Is there a better way to meet of productivity?

Q2:whether to use the CPSW for Ethernet bootloader on the AM243x?

  • Hi Shaoxing,

    The snapshot you shared is for AM263x. Ethernet boot mode is supported on AM243x. Refer to section 4.4.5 in the AM64/AM243 TRM.

    Having said that the Ethernet based flashing is not supported in current version of SDK and there is no plan to support it. I have started internal thread on other possible optimizations but finding solution may take time. Let me update you based on how discussion goes. Please feel free to ping if I don't come back next week. 

    Regards,

  • Hi Prasad,

    Firstly, The snapshot from the doc. "AM243x LaunchPadTm Development Kit User's Guide",  Not from the AM263x. 

    Secondly, Can you recommend some material or paths to the Ethernet boot? Thanks!
