IWR6843AOP: How to generate sbl file

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1843, IWR6843

Hello experts, I use the official IWR6843AOPEVM board to test, and now I want to test the SBL function of aop. Questions are as follows

1. Directly using the xwr68xx_sbl.bin file in the C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\utils\sbl folder is invalid. After burning successfully, start the backup firmware directly. There is no waiting and printing countdown for sbl

2. How to generate correct aop sbl file? Need to modify those configurations and recompile? I am very clear about the SBL compilation process that produces IWR6843, IWR1843.

Best Regards,

Gary

You should not need to recompile the SBL image for AOP. The same prebuilt SBL binary should work (xwr68xx_sbl.bin).

I think you are likely facing the same issue which is described in this post: IWR6843AOP: 3DPC Backup image @META IMAGE 4 slot overwrites SBL image utility - Sensors forum - Sensors - TI E2E support forums

Please check and see if the solution mentioned solves your problem.
