AM6548: How to load and debug SPL and UBoot from CCS

Hi,

please go through below documentation for detailed instructions : https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/docs/06_03_00_106/linux/Foundational_Components_U-Boot.html#uboot-spl-debugging-tips

according to the user guide.

3.1.1.16. Uboot SPL Debugging Tips

The following section demonstrates how to connect a board to CCS and load the SPL symbols for debugging. For the experiment below, users are expected to boot their board from a SD card.

Customer board doesn't route out SD detect pin, so can't boot, so would like to debug with CCS from zero.

Is there is load address/entry point information would help.

Tony,

There are 3 processors that need to be loaded with binaries. So CCS would be not the right option.
Can you consider UART boot?

Keerthy,

This is the board I posted several question already, it did not route out CTS, RTS to support hardware flow control, so can't boot from UART.

Although we did not see UART boot hardware flow control requirement in TRM, from test result, hardware flow control is required by this device ROM.

Hi Tony,

This is never tried. As we have 3 cores to be loaded. R5F, M3 & A53. Any other boot mode that could be tried?

What other boot modes are supported?
