mimxrt1176 qspi flash boot without mcuxpresside

TnseoRnr — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 07:30:00 GMT

It should boot via Flexspi flash in an environment configured similarly to the MIMXRT1170 EVK. After downloading the example project through MCUXpressIDE settings ("Link application to ram"), we updated the firmware to be actually used and checked its operation. Is there a way to enable Flexspi without IDE and boot using external flash? I am using jlink and tried it through SEGGER, but it failed.

I want to set quad enable bit (for Flexspi) without IDE. Should I use boot rom or another boot mode?

Or should I use a program like MCUBootUtility?

Can I enable Quad Enable bit with MCUBootUtility?

Can't I use MCUBootUtility in internal boot mode?

Hi Jinsu Kim,

I'd recommend to use MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool. See http://nxp.com/mcuxpresso/secure

In the user guide, you can find step-by-step workflow for different boot modes specific for RT117x.

Thank you for answer. Does the USB (HID?) port need to be configured to use MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool or MCUbootutility?

The currently configured port consists of only jtag for jlink. Is there a way to connect MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool or MCUbootutility via Jlink?

If it is not available, please guide me if there is a way to enable Quad Enable to use flexspi through the jlink emulator.

Or is there another way to do it?
