MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM263X: AM263X SBL QSPI total time taken

Part Number: MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM263X

Hi expert

SDK: MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM263X_08_02_00_28

we use sbl_prebuilt\am263x-cc\ sbl_qspi.release.tiimage to load appimage with 217KB size.

After power on, show sbl log for SBL Total Time Taken almost ~200ms, but our customer requirement is <100ms

Our QSPI IC is same as AM263X-CC EVM

please guide us how to reduce sbl time for QSPI booloader?

  • Hi Jay,

    We have enabled DMA mode support in SBL which has reduced the boot time drastically. This would be part of SDK8.3 release (planned in next week).

    Below is boot time with new updated SBL -
