Hi,

What is the type of memory you have? What interfaces (UART, Ethernet, USB, MMC) does the board have?

Hi,

Sorry we only have QSPI writer through MMCSD interface. If your board doesn't have MMCSD, it will not work. Do you have JTAG? Is it possible to use CCS/JTAG approach?

Ritesh,

Please refer to the QSPI flash tool using CCS and JTAG that can be used to flash image to the QSPI flash:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../AM437x

We plan to introduce a flashing tool on the lines of Uniflash tool by the end of 1H2018 but this is not currently available for testing yet.

We will post an update when it is available.

Rahul
