TMDSEVM6678: NAND Boot

KSH

Part Number: TMDSEVM6678

Tool/software:

Hello, I am writing a binary file to nand flash using MCSDK's oob demo project.

I made sure to create a binary file and write it to NAND flash, but when booting with NAND, the program does not run as shown below.

Basically, if I want to boot NAND through the IBL in the eeprom, can you tell me which block and page of the NAND I need to write to?

Please go through the sample NAND boot code to boot the app code from NAND.

Once power-on, IBL from the EEPROM runs and then gives the control to the application binary in the NAND/NOR according to your boot mode settings.

For the time being, Only the latest processor SDK 6.3 is supported for C6678.

PROCESSOR-SDK-RTOS-C667x 06_03_00_106

Follow the steps given in this FAQ to boot from flash memories like NOR/NAND

[FAQ] TMS320C6678: How to flash the IBL ( Intermediate Boot loader ) into EEPROM and how to flash the application binary into NOR? How to boot the IBL + Application binary? - Processors forum - Processors - TI E2E support forums

For older software packages, only limited support is rendered.

Customers have to rely on the user guides/developers guide which comes along the MCSDK package.
