Part Number: J784S4XEVM

Tool/software:

HI, is there any other way to run the binary on the R5F core in J784s4 instead of softlinking the executable to the firmware fw file?

    Since we have a read only file system in our custom image we couldn't able to softlink after we booted through SD card.

    Hi Sathesh,

    I am not sure what exactly you are asking here. Aren't your firmwares linked already as part of building your filesystem?

    The soft-links are not mandatory, they were designed to easily point to the actual firmware being used, since we have multiple different firmwares that can be used. The soft-link name comes from the device-tree firmware-name property, this was kept to a generic name to easily identify the SoC and the core. 

    You can always change the firmware-name property in the DeviceTree node, if you want to use a different firmware name altogether. Or you can directly copy over desired firmware as the soft-link name in the filesystem.

    If you are asking how to change names from console on your read-only file system, then you would need to remount your filesystem as read-write.

    regards
