MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X: Issue with SOC Initialization on AM243x EVM Board

Part Number: MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM2432, AM2434

Tool/software:

Hello Expert,

I am currently working with an AM243x EVM board that I recently purchased. I followed the exact steps mentioned in the guide for SOC Initialization Using CCS Scripting(https://software-dl.ti.com/mcu-plus-sdk/esd/AM243X/10_00_00_20/exports/docs/api_guide_am243x/EVM_SETUP_PAGE.html) . However, I am encountering an error during the process.

My board supports the HS-FS configuration files. I have attached an image of the error for your reference.



Could you please guide me on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you!

  • I see that error message if I am not powering an AM243x board properly.  A phone adapter typically does not do the trick.  You need at least 3A.

    Connect an adapter that can supply 3A, then unplug the debug USB cable for the onboard XDS110 and plug back in again.

    Regards,

    John

  • Hi Expert,

    The issue I faced on the AM243x EVM board was resolved by making changes to the target configuration file, where I selected the AM64X_GP_EVM board. This resolved the issue.

    However, I am encountering a similar problem on our custom board. On the custom board:

    • We are using the AM2432BSFFHIALVR controller and the TPS6521904 PMIC.
    • After successful power-up, the MCU_RESETAZ, RESETSTATZ, and PORZ_OUT pins remain high, indicating that the board is not in reset mode.
    • For connecting the device, I used the same GEL file as with the EVM.
    • I also tried selecting boards AM2432_ALV,AM2434_ALV, AM64X_GP_EVM, and AM243X_GP_EVM in the settings.

    The board is powered using a 10A power supply.

    Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

    Best regards,

    This is very odd. Can you share the ccxml files you create for the AM243x EVM (which does work) and the AM64x EVM (which does work).

    I will bring this thread to the attention of the device exerts for further comment regarding this

    Thanks

  • Hi Divyesh,

    Please tell us which MCU+SDK version are you using?

    Has the EVM initialized properly with SBL binaries? Are you able to see the SBL logs when the EVM is powered up?
