TDA4VM: SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices

Hi Ethan,

There has been a similar issue where the board reboots due to low power provided by the power supply.

What is the voltage/amperage of the power supply being used? 

Regards,

Takuma

Hi Takuma

The power supply I used is 12V/5A

Hi Ethan,

Power looks fine; I am also using a 12V/5A power supply.

I found a similar E2E here for a custom board using the same SoC: https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/974023/tda4-boot-failed-from-sd-card

I have the following questions:

1. Does the error always occur, or sometimes the boot is successful?
2. Do you have another micro SD card that you can test this on?

Regards,

Takuma

I found that when I have power on the board for a long time, the board could boot successful, but when the board was just power on, I try to keep rebooting, and the error always occur

I have changed in 3 different SD card, and this problem not solve

Hi Ethan,

Are you trying this on TDA4VM EVM or SK board?

Best Regards,
Keerthy

Hi Keerthy

I try this on TDA4VM

Hi Keerthy

Today appear a new log, could you find more information on it?

Hi Ethan,

It seems to be failing while booting the remote cores.

Please enter a character when you get to U-Boot prompt & execute the below command:

setenv dorprocboot 0
saveenv

Can you try the above commands from U-Boot prompt?

The SD card on the board can run ok.

Hi Fenghua

The boot mode I use is the SD boot mode.

After I downloaded the image on my SD card, I tried different combinations.

I tried this image on SK-EVM, and the image runs successfully on SK-EVM, but it can't build docker successfully

On TDA4VM, I replaced three backplanes and two SOMs, but all had issues with cannot boot and kernel crash

BR.

Ethan

Yes, you are right . The image on SK_EVM runs successfullly.

I have compared boot files,which are different.

Hi Keerthy

On the E8 version of TDA4VM, sysfw.itb and tiboot3.bin are problematic and when I replaced them with the file in SDK07.02.00.07, the EVM runs smoothly, could you find the reason?

Hi Keerthy

In TDA4VM datasheet, it said that "Supports speeds up to 3733 MT/s" ,why we change it into 4266 MTS in SDK 7. 3 & 8.0?

Hi Keerthy

This is DRA829v, but in TDA4VM datasheet, it still 3733MT/s.

Why in DRA829v, the speed is 4266 MT/s, but in TDA4VM, it is 3733 MT/s?

Hi Ethan,

I am checking internally on this. I will get back as soon as I hear back from the hardware experts.

Best Regards,
Keerthy
