MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X: Periodic task in bootloader

Hi Dominik,

Dominik Ondra said:

Could you describe how to debug the bootloader. I know I need to use loop_forever(); However I am not sure on how to connect debugger.
When I load to flash the  ospi bootloader and try to connect via code composer studio I can see that the processor is executing the same 
addresses repeatedly. Hinting that it is running in the loop. But I cannot load see which code line it is on, variables and so on..
Is the process of connecting different?

You can refer to the FAQ mentioned at this location - https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/arm-based-microcontrollers-group/arm-based-microcontrollers/f/arm-based-microcontrollers-forum/1119575/faq-mcu-plus-sdk-am243x-how-to-debug-sbl_qspi-for-am263-and-am273-or-sbl_ospi-for-am243-or-an-application-which-is-booted-via-ospi-qspi-boot

Can bootloader run multiple tasks? What I am aiming for is periodic GPIO led blink during booting. Is this possible?

We do not support freertos for SBL examples. This can be a custom implementation which customers are free to implement.

Also, why not set an timer with interrupt which will blink just toggle the led in ISR. This will work for your use-case, right ?

Hope that helps.
