Hi,

I have asked this question last year:
e2e.ti.com/.../724705

I tried the latest uniflash but see same issue.
Is there any difficulties to fix this issue?

Hi Jitendra,

Thanks for the reply.
Is someone on your side working on this?
I would like to know whether this issue will be fixed in the future version or not.

Hi Kevin,

I just got the detail from our firmware team that bootloader writes data to sFlash over QSPI in 64bit (8-bytes) chunk only.

Due to that reason Uniflash needs to send file data in 8-bytes aligned format.

So that is not a bug but the requirement from the device bootloader.

Jitendra
