HI，

I boot the EVM board to the console via DFU, and I want to use fastboot to flash Linux rootfs in Uboot.

Does TI support the fastboot command for Image brushing in Uboot?

Could TI provide me with demo？

Thanks.

The AM62A Linux SDK by default supports flashing media like eMMC/SD via DFU, which is not the same but similar to fastboot. You can check this here:

While fastboot is not available as part of our AM62A offering, we do have this as part of the AM62 Android SDK. Which is a similar-enough device that one should be able to study the implementation, and port that over to AM62A without too much trouble.

I'd recommend sticking to DFU flashing for AM62A as the official solution, unless you have a strong justification to use fastboot, and the time/resources to make it work on AM62A.
