[FAQ] J7200XSOMXEVM: How to use the QSGMII expansion board with DRA821 SDK V7.3

Peter Li79

Part Number: J7200XSOMXEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRA821

I have got the DRA821 EVM (J7200 SOM, and J7 common processor board), and also the "Quad-Port Ethernet expansion board" (a.k.a QSGMII expansion board).

J7200 SOM: https://www.ti.com/tool/J7200XSOMXEVM
J7 common processor board: https://www.ti.com/tool/J721EXCPXEVM
the QSGMII expansion board: included in the J7 common processor board package
J7200 SDK V7.3: https://www.ti.com/tool/PROCESSOR-SDK-J7200

With the default SDK V7.3 code, the QSGMII board doesn't work.

How can I make it work with J7200 SDK V7.3?

in the $ti-processor-sdk-linux-j7200-evm-07_03_00_04:

run command: make linux-dtbs

Then you will get an updated k3-j7200-dra821a.dtbo, and then update it to $rootfs/boot/
