Invalid flash address error

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3517

Hi, I got the following error when booting the Wince BSP for logic AM3517 exp board. I did not change any of the default BSP settings, only changes are in the Wince applications, any idea what might going wrong?

Init HW: controller RST
SDCARD: reqested speed 1000000, actual speed 1000000
SDHC: command response timeout CTO!
MMC::MMCCommandResponse: MMCSendCommand error, command = 8

  • Could you send us the eboot settings? What is the boot mode? Sounds like you are trying to boot the NK.bin from Nand.

  • It seems to me that the NK.bin file you copied to your SDCard was built to be flashed into NAND. Make sure you remove the "IMGNAND" environment variable from your OsDesign and run a "Make RunTime Image". The resulting NK.bin should be ok, just copy it to your SDCard and try to boot the board.
