Part Number: AM2634-Q1

Hi Team-

Are the AM263x-Q1 devices able to support Flash Over The Air? If so, could you point me towards documentation on this topic?

Thanks,

Reed

    Hi ,

    Can you share more details ? What is the ask here around FOTA ? What is your expectations with AM263x to enable the FOTA support ?

    Theoretically, FOTA can be done with AM263x. But it depends on what the user's system architecture is to integrate FOTA.

    Hi Aakash,

    The expectation is that for this device to be used in a wireless BMS system it requires the ability do to FOTA. My understanding is FOTA means you need memory space for 2x the image size on the external flash. But I do believe it would require certain features in order to ensure a smooth update even if power were to be lost or the device were to have a reset in the middle of the image uploading.

    This depends on how you define the architecture of the system.

    Although you are right, we do support the backup boot/redundant address boot for SBL which can be used in case there is a power failure. For more details, check out the Chapter 5 Initialization in TRM.

    Hope it helps.
