TDA4VM: Requests guidance for efficient application development on TDA4x EVM board.

Part Number: TDA4VM


Hi

I'm facing inconvenience during developing  camera application on TDA4x EVM board.

Every time I build application, I do the following complicated procedures.

1. building application on PC

2. copy files to memory card on PC

3. insert memory card to TDA4x EVM board.

4. Turn on EVM board

5. check application built in #1 step on EVM board.

According to the above procedure, it is very inefficient.

Is there any good tools or efficient way ?

Thanks,

Aiden.

  • Hi Feige Wang,

    There is a public tool developed by one of our colleague called the k3-bootswitch. This is available at - https://git.ti.com/cgit/glsdk/host-tools/tree/k3-bootswitch

    You can find the details on the usage in the README available with the tool.

    This has the following advantages:

    1. Allows to remotely control the board by eliminating need to physically change the switch settings
    2. Can be used for regular development flow, where it removes the need to physically plug out the SD card for updating images.
    3. Makes it very easy to partition, format and update contents of the eMMC device.
    4. Can be used for factory flashing of the OSPI/eMMC images using automated scripts

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,
