IWRL6432BOOST: SBL in SDK 5.3.0.2 does not work

Tool/software:

Hi expert,

I am experiencing issues with the SBL (System Boot Loader) functionality on my IWRL6432BOOST evaluation board. After successfully downloading both the SBL image and application binary (appimage) using the Uniflash tool, the board enters Function Mode as expected. However, when attempting to establish a serial connection via Tera Term, the terminal window remains blank with no output, suggesting the SBL/AppImage may not be initializing properly or communicating with the host. Could you assist me in identifying the root cause?

1. reference steps: xWRL6432 MMWAVE-L-SDK: Secondary Boot Loader

2. sbl.release.appimage or sbl.debug.appimage path :C:\ti\MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_03_00_02\examples\drivers\boot\sbl\xwrL64xx-evm\m4fss0-0_nortos\ti-arm-clang

Thanks!

Hi,

Please allow me a couple of days to replicate the issue from my side. Meanwhile, have you tried using the binary from the latest SDK?

Yes, the SDK "MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_05_02_00" won't help either.

Hi,

Did you issue reset after loading the first image as mentioned in MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_05_02_00/docs/api_guide_xwrL64xx/EXAMPLES_DRIVERS_SBL.html

I tried the new version SDK bellow.It's the same problem. after downloading SBL appimage, and swithing board to function mode, the board's serial port cannot be found in the computer Device Manager.
