TDA4VM: TDa4vm

Hi Gangadhar,

UART will be the slowest.
tftp/nfs will be faster. (For development nfs is good of course not for production).
Followed by usb dfu-util( We have not measured 3.0 performance)
Followed by SD-MMC.
eMMC will be fastest

eMMC is best time/speed. So recommendation is eMMC.

Hi Gangadhar,

We do not have the numbers but USB 3.0 should be really fast. It should be as good as eMMC
if not better.

Enabling USB 3.0 host port on J721e EVM section.

You need to make some DT changes.

USB0 instance on J721e base board is connected to TypeC port that can be used both as host port and device port. By default, USB0 is port is configured to be in peripheral mode. Since U-Boot does not support dynamic switching of USB roles, below DT fragment needs to be applied and U-Boot image needs to be rebuilt to make USB0 port to be USB 3.0 host port.

Hope this answers your question.
