AM2434: QSPI/SPI Boot

Part Number: AM2434

Our customer wants to use QSPI and SPI Boot for AM243x.

MCU+ SDK supports only OSPI Boot for AM243x.

Does the SBL need to be modified to use QSPI or SPI boot?

Best regards,

Daisuke

  • Hi Daisuke,

    Yes, if you want to support QSPI boot, you will need sbl_qspi. In MCU+ SDK 08.02.00.31, the sbl_qspi is there, but it is empty. It should be easy to change from sbl_osp, the only difference is the ospi uses 8 data lines while qspi uses 4 data lines.

  • Hi Ming-san,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I suggested to our customer to modify the SBL with reference to the Flash driver source code for SPI boot modes not supported by the MCU+ SDK.
