3.  the "U-Boot SPL 2020.01-dirty (May 24 2022 - 11:56:02 +0800)" log miss when boot failed , I want to know if this missing LOG is the content of the u-boot-spl.bin program, And where can I see the source code for u-boot-spl.bin

    Yes it is content of the u-bbot-spl.bin it get printed during preloader_console_init()  . You can find the code in the <J721e_sdk>/board-support/<u-boot-version>/arch/arm/mach-k3/j721e_init.c this is soc specific code 

    you can find the upper layer spl source code in <J721e_sdk>/board-support/<u-boot-version>/common/spl

    I found the code for u-boot-spl.bin and understood the order in which the code was executed

    u-boot-spl.bin :  _start  --> _main --> board_init_f

    If the boot fails, the u-boot-spl.bin command can be used in two cases according to the Log

    1. u-boot-spl.bin is not executed

    2. u-boot-spl.bin is blocked in the satrt or main

    so i want some suggestions from ti

    Hi,

    When it is failing can you attach a jtag and check whether it came out of the ATF or still it is in the ATF only. Check for the address range where it is

    getting stuck  if it is in  0x70000000 range it got stuck in ATF.

    Also have you faced this issue when you are using R5 spl boot flow ?

    Regards
    Diwakar

    i have no jtag and I opened all the logs in bl31.bin and added some logs at the end of the program

    when boot failed , the A72 log as this

    so i think it out of the ATF

    Hi 

    Is there any way to connect through a debugger as it is not even going to c code(board_init_f) it is difficult to say something 

    we need to connect some debugger and see in the assembly code by adding the breakpoints.

    also have you tried with the R5 SPL boot flow ?

    Regards
    Diwakar

    Dear Chuang,

         Please check your power supply condition when this failure happens.

    hi, i catch It when boot failed by CCS debugger,  but i am confuse and can you give me some suggestion

    Dear Chuang,

         1. Have you checked your power supply when that failure happens?

         2. Is it possible to add breakpoint to further loacte the error?

    BR

    1. when it failed , the power supply is normal

    2. There should be no way to debug breakpoints , because it only fails once when it starts abount 100 times

    3.  I can only connect to the core to check when the boot fails

    Hi 

    Once the issue occur can you connect to A72 and open Disassembly and check where it is stuck.

    Also is  it custom board ?
