Hello @pramodreddy

I hope you are doing very well.

Actually, the command strings flash.bin that you are running is not a runtime error. That command is looking for static strings compiled into the binary.

Best regards,

Salas.

HI @Manuel_Salas

Below are the steps we are following

a. cp BUILD_DIR/tmp/deploy/images/imx8qxpc0mek/imx-boot-tools/bl31-imx8qx.bin iMX8QX/bl31.bin
b. cp BUILD_DIR/tmp/deploy/images/imx8qxpc0mek/imx-boot-tools/mx8qxc0-ahab-container.img iMX8QX/
c. cp BUILD_DIR/tmp/deploy/images/imx8qxpc0mek/imx-boot-tools/u-boot-imx8qxpc0mek.bin-sd iMX8QX/u-boot.bin
d. cp BUILD_DIR/tmp/deploy/images/imx8qxpc0mek/imx-boot-tools/u-boot-spl.bin-imx8qxpc0mek-sd iMX8QX/u-boot-spl.bin

a. Copy the scfw_tcm.bin to imx-mkimage/iMX8QX
b. sudo make clean && make SOC=iMX8QX REV=C0 flash_spl

Note : current Target which we are using iMX8QXPC0
