AM5728: Flashing application for AM57x

Chris Welch66

Part Number: AM5728
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH,

We have built up a board based on the TI EVM and have added a NOR FLASH part for normal boot up.

Is there anything like Uniflash or Flash Tool available to be able to program the part?

I haven't had any luck finding anything similar so far, so I'm looking at facilitating it using sf command support in u-boot.

Any other suggestions/info would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Ok, I assume from this answer then that there is no equivalent to Uniflash or flash tool?

The u-boot link you provided is quite helpful, it has a lot more detail then the others I've been following, thanks.

Correct, at present there is no Uniflash support for AM57x devices.

Just adding some color here. we have it in our plans, but schedule is TBD...best way to track it is by adding an alert to the Product Folder of AM5728 device and once it becomes available, you will get a notification.

Great, thanks for the info. I'll follow up in this post with the secret sauce for u-boot once I have it working. Looks like it is mostly an integration using the QSPI that was done for the AM57xx IDK.

The IDK product has a QSPI FLASH part, the code is already present and enabled, and the device is detailed in am57xx-beagle-x15-common.dtsi so I'm integrating in those materials and modify to utilize the FLASH part we have.
