LS1012A Boot from SD Card

igor_franco — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 12:44:57 GMT

Hello,

I'm using the LS1012A Freeway board as an evaluation board. I noticed in the Getting Started Guide document that the board uses a QSPI to load the RCW. However, we desired to use only a MMC device. Is it possible to boot from SD Card or eMMC? Or the boot only can be performed by QSPI?

Thank you in advance,

Igor

No - refer to the QorIQ LS1012A Reference Manual, Table 4-8. RCW source encodings.

Yes.
