chenandy — Fri, 25 Oct 2019 08:41:58 GMT

hello

I want to imx8mm QSPI NOR Flash Boot.

How do I set SW1101 and SW1102?

uboot-imx is use to imx_v2018.03_4.14.98_2.0.0_ga branch,

make imx8mm_evk_fspi_defconfig

It is will generate to uboot-imx/SPL, u-boot.bin, u-boot-dtb.imx, u-boot-dtb.img, u-boot-dtb.bin , u-boot-nodtb.bin, u-boot.img,qspi_header. uboot-imx/spl/u-boot-spl.bin uboot-imx/spl/u-boot-spl-nodtb.bin

How I make SPL(QSPI NOR Flash Boot ) with those files?

and How I make uboot(QSPI NOR Flash Boot ) with those files?

I want to Boot from emmc, and the firmware burn to NOR Flash through uboot,

and boot from QSPI NOR Flash through to set SW1101 and SW1102

Hi igorpadykov:

I switched off the custom board and booted from QSPI, and QSPI NOR Flash is W25Q80DV.

I use default fspi_header, but the board works not well. How do I change this fspi_header

and What do these parameters represent of fspi_header . Do you have detailed documentation of
fspi_header parameters?

Hi Andy

right, with default fspi_header W25Q80DV may not work well.
It is necessary to change it accordng to specific W25Q80DV parameters.
Unfortunately I am not aware of additional detailed documentation for changing
fspi_header parameters. May be suggested to use Commercial Support and Engineering Services | NXP
as changes may be not simple and different for each qspi flash memory.

Best regards
