Hi,

I want to ask some question about TDA4 boot.My sdk is  V7_01

as you know,

mehtod 1 :   we can load mcu1_0  through A72 UBoot(tiboot3.bin  tispl.bin u-boot.img sysfw ),and load other core firmware .

mehtod 2 :  also,we can load mcu1_0 through  SBL,it can quickly response can.

My question   is 

1,  CAN quilcyly responese aslo  can do  in mehtod 1,when load mcu1_0  in the uboot  ,and i found other core can work maybe more quickly. 

why need sbl start,Is it has some reason.

2, In my last product,TI suggest which boot way.

    As you have mentioned there are two available boot flows provided by the J7 SDK:

    Additional documentation the flows are available at SBL and SPL.

    By default SBL is more likely to boot faster than SPL, as SBL contains less features, however, either boot flow can be customized to meet requirements.   Providing a recommendation on which boot flow is more appropriate is not possible without a full understanding of the product, including, but not restricted to, early boot metrics, image sizes, filesystem, and boot media that are being used.    

    Please follow up with your local TI representative, for assistance with this.   

    Regards,

    HI,thanks!

    in the method1,I dont found  about  the funtion X509 module, Is it  necessity to boot  through  it? can I  think SBL boot  more secure ,but it will  lower the speed because mcu  read file is slow compare to A72 UBOOT readfile. I find sbl  copy  file  & mutiproc  core  is at  least 10s, and LINUX  kernel is  start too  long.

    The X509 certificate is required for TDA4VM HS - High Security devices, it is not required for TDA4VM GP - general purpose devices.
