SK-AM62: 08.06.00.42 wic.xz image not booting

Part Number: SK-AM62

Hi Team,

I just downloaded the tisdk-default-image-am62xx-evm.wic.xz image from our Processor SDK download page for version 08.06.00.42 and flashed it to an SD card--when I plug it in and turn it on, I'm not receiving any output from my SK board to the JTAG terminal.

I tried again with a fresh download of 08.05, and the board works correctly. On other versions of linux as well, the board works correctly. It's just with this wic.xz image that I'm having trouble--any known issues with this download?

BR,

  • Hi Ryan,

    By default the SDK 8.6 boots AM62x HS-FS device, not GP device. Please follow the instruction below to modify the SD card to boot GP SK:

    Boot SD card on AM62x GP device

    The SD card flashed using one of the methods above will boot AM62x HS-FS, but not AM62x GP devices. AM62x HS-FS and AM62x GP use different tiboot3.bin binaries. The SD card first partition has both binaries but HS-FS tiboot3.bin is the default. Using the following procedure to make GP tiboot3.bin as the default will make the SD card to boot on SK-AM62.

    Plug the flashed SD card to Linux or Windows host. The SD card first partition should have the following files.

    tiboot3-am62x-gp-evm.bin   tiboot3.bin   u-boot.img
    tiboot3-am62x-hs-evm.bin   tispl.bin     uEnv.txt
    

    where tiboot3-am62x-gp-evm.bin is the GP tiboot3.bin binary, and tiboot3.bin is the HS-FS tiboot3.bin binary.

    Now rename tiboot3.bin to something else, for example, tiboot3-am62x-hsfs.bin, and rename tiboot3-am62x-gp-evm.bin to tiboot3.bin. Then unmount/eject the SD card. It is ready to boot SK-AM62 EVM now.
