TDA4VH-Q1: RTOS binary loading is confusing, how can I change it

Hello,

Due to a  regional holiday, half of our team is currently out of office. Please expect a 1~2 day delay in responses.

Apologies for the delay, and thank you for you patience.

Thanks.

Hello Mircea,

What bootloader are you using?

How can I make the bootloader recognize the .xer5f only

How are you building the binaries?

Mircea Cociuba said:

there is no mention of "sec" in the documentation

The binaries with "-sec" and ".signed" suffixes are binaries created to be run on HS devices. If you are using a GP device you can simply ignore these.

i am using the bootloader flashed with <ti-sdk>/bin/create-sdcard.sh that TI provides, I flash the ti default adas image on the sd-card.

Yes, I use the GP device, but I have no ideea if your Linux/bootloader is actualy loading the binaries. I found so manny errors in the SDK it looks as if it is a alpha release. How can I check if the binary I gave it is actualy loaded?

Then you do not need to worry about the binaries with "-sec" and ".signed" suffixes.

Are you trying to run one of the ready made example binaries from the SDK or custom binaries? You are booting Linux off the SD card correct?

I think I do have to worry, the documentation is missing a lot of parts. No where in the documentation does it say I have to copy the .appimage file, the examples in the default tar.xv have .out, .xerf5 files inserted in the /lib/firmware.

I am starting to think TI support also does not know what files to put in that folder. If I put the .xerf5 file ( which is an elf) the Linux does not boot, but if I put the .appimage then the Linux boots.

(I made another thread long ago for the what files to put inside the /lib/firmware folder, and link them)

Anyway:

My use case: i build a binary, for mcu2_1, I copy the release_strip.xerf5 file to /lib/firmware, and I want to load it to core mcu2_1, how can I check that what I have wanted was loaded? to make sure.

Br, Mircea

Can you check the boot logs to see if it includes the following statement?

"remoteproc remoteproc7: loading /lib/firmware/j7-main-r5f0_1-fw"

Hello Mircea,

I just wanted to follow up to see if there is an update on the issue.

I forgot to answer :(, was busy with other stuff ( tickets on e2e ).

Yes, close it.
