  • Hi,

    Yes, MSMC RAM is used for boot monitor.

    K2HK:

    setenv bootcmd 'tftpboot 0x87000000 ${tftp_root}/uImage-k2hk-evm.dtb;tftpboot 0x88000000 ${tftp_root}/uImage-keystone-evm.bin;tftpboot 0x0c5f0000 ${tftp_root}/skern-k2hk-evm.bin;mon_install 0x0c5f0000;bootm 0x88000000 - 0x87000000'

    K2E:

    setenv bootcmd 'tftpboot 0x87000000 ${tftp_root}/uImage-k2e-evm.dtb;tftpboot 0x88000000 ${tftp_root}/uImage-keystone-evm.bin;tftpboot 0x0c140000 ${tftp_root}/skern-k2e-evm.bin;mon_install 0x0c140000;bootm 0x88000000 - 0x87000000'

  • Hi Capitaine,

    Yes, the MSMC RAM has been used for managing the cores through "boot-monitor"
    Please revert if any clarification.
