TMDSCNCD263P: How to flash multiple elf or appimage files in one go incase if we have multiple AM263Px MCU's on customized PCB

Sanith goud Kothuri

Part Number: TMDSCNCD263P
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software:

Suppose I have a custom PCB with multiple AM263Px MCUs on it. I want to flash my images (.tiimage for SBL, .mcelf for the application code, and .mcelf-xip) to all the MCUs in one go. How can I use UniFlash to flash these images simultaneously to multiple MCUs on the PCB?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sanith,

For example, if you have 4 cores and 4 output binaries, you can combine them into a single image and flash it through uniflash, refer:

for more details.

for suppose if my pcb has 2 different AM263px MCU, then how can I flash in one go?

Hi Sanith,

Apologies I misunderstood your question.

UniFlash cannot do this. This needs a custom solution. You will have to build a custom flasher which can do this. We don't have any out-of-box support for it.

UniFlash can only connect to once MCU at a time and Flash it

Hi Shaunak Deshpande

In another case, suppose I have 6–7 different images that need to be loaded only on Core-1. How can I load all these images at once using UniFlash?

Hi Sanith,

Generally we only create 1 image for 1 core. Can you explain what exactly are the 6-7 different images for just 1 core? Is it different metadata in different images and actual application in one image?
