AM6442: default BoardCfg differences between AM243, AM64 and linux

Martin Brenner

Part Number: AM6442

Tool/software:

Hello,

We are trying to upgrade from AM243 to AM64 with Linux. Do we need to adjust the BoardCfg during this process? Since the chips are identical, what is the difference between the default BoardCfg in mcu plus sdk's for each processor and the BoardCfg with the postfix _linux?

Kind regards,

Martin

Hello Martin,

Will you continue using SBL bootflow, or are you planning to switch to SPL bootflow?

You can use either with AM64x. More information is in the AM64x Multicore academy > Boot flows: SPL vs SBL
https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AXfgOBMVhJy5K0DPeNFSPQ__AM64-ACADEMY__WI1KRXP__LATEST

Are there specific BoardCfg files you were curious about?

Regards,

Nick

We stick with SBL bootflow.

Yes. Those are the BoardCfg files I am curious about:

Hi Martin,

You can compare the ${SDK}\source\drivers\sciclient\sciclient_default_boardcfg\am64x\sciclient_defaultBoardcfg_rm_linux.c file for both AM243x and AM64x device to know the difference between resource allocation.
