Part Number: MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hi BU experts,

My customer is flashing the sbl_null for their custom board. They are using sbl_dfu_uniflash to do so.

They've tried two .cfg for the python script.

First, they uses the following cfg

The python script is successful. However, after they switched back to ospi boot and power cycle, there is no output on the uart terminal. As they connected to AM243x, they saw the core is stuck at 0x418019f0, which should be a in the RBL.

Secondly, they've tried the default_dfu_uniflash,

However, the script failed at the second command.

Any idea what might be the problem here?

Thanks,

Hang

Hi Hang,

It looks like the customer is using GP device. Please check the device type with the following FAQ

[FAQ] [AM6XX]: How to check if device type is HS-SE, HS-FS or GP? - Processors forum - Processors - TI E2E support forums

If the customer is using GP device, then make sure to use GP images only (no `hs_fs` in the extension). This should resolve the issue.

Regards,

Prashant

Hi Parshant,

Customer is using HS-FS device, here's the output from the python script.

They are having this using use hs_fs image on hs_fs device.

(BTW, just curious, how to generate GP image for the SBL?)

Thanks,

Hang.

Hi Hang,

I will hold onto this thread until this one is resolved

The MCU+ SDK v9.x have dropped the support for GP device and so do not generate the GP image anymore.

Hi Hang,

Is this thread the same as the below

AM2432: stuck in Sciclient_waitForBootNotification - Arm-based microcontrollers forum - Arm-based microcontrollers - TI E2E support forums

If it is then I think we can close this one and have the discussion going on directly with the customer on the other thread.

Regards,

Prashant
