TDA2: Dual partition layout for enhanced software upgrade and support rolback

Part Number: TDA2

Hello:

   For safety software upgrade, we expect to use two partition, partition A and B based on NAND.

  1.   A and B both contain the whole image
  2. when A is active, new software is download to B,and then active B.

my question:

  1.  does current TI has the sample solution for this ?
  2. does the u-boot already support this to read the partitions alternatively and load image correctly?
  3. For linux image in each partition, we also expect to use dual FS partition for linux upgrade, please have look at  https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/System_Update   
    1. does TI already support it in SDK
    2. Any sample for share?

Thanks!

    Hi,
    Sorry for the delay in my response!

    Regarding software upgrade, what we support on our platform today is available at processors.wiki.ti.com/.../6AO.1.0_Application_Notes

    You may also take a look at the specific patch at review.omapzoom.org/ that enabled the recovery mode and ability to update firmware. It shows one way of how u-boot can decide which image to load at run time. We flash both the regular boot image and recovery image when flashing full image to EVM.

    I would request you to please go through the above information and let us know if you have more questions.

    Regards,
    Somnath
