Tried to rebuild U-boot with USB0 as dr-mode = host

Hi Mitesh,

Please don't do this, DFU uses USB0 in peripheral mode.

Where did you get this tiboot3.bin binary?

You cannnot use the prebuilt binary provided in the Processor SDK. You need rebuild tiboot3.bin using the defconfig 'am62x_evm_r5_usbdfu_defconfig '.

Hi Bin Liu,

Noted, will revert back to peripheral mode.

Yes, used 'am62x_evm_r5_usbdfu_defconfig' to build tiboot3.bin

These are the steps taken:

<UBOOT_DIR> = <SDK_INSTALL_DIR>/board-supports/u-boot-*/
$ cd <UBOOT_DIR>/
$ export ARCH=arm
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabihf-
$ make am62x_evm_r5_usbdfu_defconfig O=build/r5
$ make O=build/r5
$ cd ../k3-image-gen-<version>/
$ make SOC=am62x SOC_TYPE=gp SBL=<UBOOT_DIR>/build/r5/spl/u-boot-spl.bin SYSFW_DIR=../prebuilt-images

And the location of the tiboot3.bin from

<SDK_INSTALL_DIR>/board-support/k3-image-gen-<version>/.
