AM6548: An issue when TI-RTOS based application is not executed when there are loaded by SBL (UART and OSPI flash) in SDK 7.3.

Part Number: AM6548
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM6526

I have a question regarding the issue we have when we try to boot the application with TI-RTOS for the R5 core. The problem is that the R5 application is not started at all.

My configuration is:
SDK - ti-processor-sdk-rtos-am65xx-evm-07_03_00_09
PDK - pdk_am65xx_07_03_00_54 (processor_sdk_rtos_am65xx_07_03_00_09)


We have our custom board based on Sitara AM6548 SR2.0. (some of the boards were assembled with AM6526 SR2.1.) on which we use QSPI NOR flash as a primary and UART (MCU_UART) as a backup boot device.
Up to now, we were using SDK 6.3., but because the secure boot is not supported well for SR2 silicon in SDK 6.3. (problem with SYSFW for HS SR2 silicon) we decided to migrate our application and support for our custom board to SDK 7.3.


The problem that we noticed was that when the multicore application (A53/TI-RTOS + R5/TI-RTOS) is loaded by SBL, the application for the R5 core is not executed.

With the tests we did, we concluded that when we make the multicore image that has a TI-RTOS based application for the A53 core and a small test bare-metal application for the R5 core, the applications for both (A53 and R5) cores are executed normally.
But when we have TI-RTOS based application for the R5 core, this application for the R5 core is not executed, the A53 application is executed only.

NOTE: We didn't have this issue with SDK6.3, the is issue that is present in SDK7.3

Can you help us and give us some idea and instructions how to solve this?

Best regards,
Novica
