-
Board Platform: j721s2-evm (AM68A is based on this SoC)
Steps I Followed
1. SDK Configuration Used
I used the following SDK configuration:
-
SDK:
processor-sdk-analytics-10.01.00 -
Config file:
processor-sdk-analytics-10.01.00-config.txt
Targeted for AM68A (j721s2-evm)
2. 
️ Yocto Build
I built the full image using Yocto:
MACHINE="j721s2-evm" bitbake -k tisdk-edgeai-image
The build completed successfully.
3. Image Obtained
After build, I got the following image:
-
Image:
tisdk-edgeai-image-j721s2-evm.rootfs-20250503120633.wic.xz -
Location: yocto-build/build/
deploy-ti/images/j721s2-evm/
4. 
Decompression
I decompressed the image using:
xz -d tisdk-edgeai-image-j721s2-evm.rootfs-20250503120633.wic.xz
Resulting in:
-
tisdk-edgeai-image-j721s2-evm.rootfs-20250503120633.wic
5. 
Flashing to SD Card
I flashed the image to SD card:
Used Balena Etcher to flash the .wic file
6. 
Boot Partition Files After Flash
After flashing, the SD card contains:
-
tiboot3.bin -
tiboot3-j721s2-gp-evm.bin -
tiboot3-j721s2-hs-evm.bin -

u-boot.img -
uEnv.txt
These files were present in the boot partition.
Problem
