Tool/software:
Hello TI Support Team,
I am encountering an issue with the AM62x during the secure boot process after flashing the HSSE image and successfully flashing the ext4 filesystem.
When I run the following commands:
setenv mmcdev 0 setenv bootpart 0 saveenv boot
=> saveenv
Saving Environment to MMC... Writing to MMC(0)... OK
=> boot
switch to partitions #0, OK
mmc0(part 0) is current device

I don't see the board booting completely even once in these logs. In HSFS state, did you have the kernel booting successfully? If yes, please once share those logs if available.
Hello,
Yes, we did have the kernel booting successfully in the HSFS state earlier. However, those boot logs are unfortunately not available now. If needed, we can attempt to reproduce the same setup again to collect the logs.

These are very different from the default environment variables. Not sure how you have modified all these environment variables. Can you share the successful boot logs from the HSFS device?
Hello ,
As per your request for successful boot logs from the HSFS device — I want to clarify that we're using dummy keys, and the device is currently set up for secure boot. However, we have made some changes in the bootloader and image setup since then.
If required, I can revert back to the previous working bootloader and filesystem setup from the time the device was in HSFS mode, and capture the full boot logs for your review.
Please confirm:
Do you want us to regenerate the boot logs from the HSFS state using the older bootloader/images?
If yes, could you please confirm whether any specific steps are needed to restore or ensure the device is in HSFS mode (e.g., fuse or bootloader configuration changes)?
Once confirmed, I’ll follow the steps and provide the full logs.
