SK-AM62A-LP: Board is not booting using latest Linux EdgeAI Image from ti

Andrea C

Part Number: SK-AM62A-LP

Hello everyone,

I'm working on an SK-AM62A eval board PROC135E2 received from ti in february (pre-production board).

I'm able to boot linux from SD using the image "tisdk-default-image-am62axx-evm.wic.xz" contained in "ti-processor-sdk-linux-am62axx-evm-08.04.01.08".

Recently I tried to download the latest SD image from the updated sdk (tisdk-edgeai-image-am62axx-evm.wic version 08.06.00.45) and I burned an SDcard with balena etcher.

Using the new image, the boards didn't boot at all => Nothing is showed in the UART console.
If revert the SD with the older image => the board boots correctly.

I found that the problem is the "boot" partition of the SD card.
Let me explain:

if I use the new SD card image, but with the older "boot" partition files => the board starts correctly and I'm able to access to linux.

Is it normal? How can I use latest SD images from ti website?

Thanks

Andrea

Hello Andrea,

The pre-production board that you have is most likely a GP (General Purpose) device based board. Please try the following in the boot partition:

Rename tiboot3.bin to tiboot3-default.bin.
Rename tiboot3-am62ax-gp-evm.bin to tiboot3.bin.

For more information, please refer to AM62A starter kit quick start guide and go to "For GP or HS-SE device type on a different board than AM62A SK".

Regards,

Jianzhong
