NXP Gold Box Can Gateway

For Running the CAN Gateway use cases we required QSPI NOR Flash booting. Hence we booted using SD card first. Then when the bootup started, we interrupted by pressing a key and executed the following command:

run write_goldvip_images 

 

 

Then we configured the DIP Switches  (set SW4.7 to OFF).

After that we removed the SD card from NXP GoldBox and power on the board, But, it shows error.

ErrorError

 

So, we insert the SD card and repeat the above steps. And this time we didn't remove the SD card and the box is booted.

Do we have to insert SD card even for booting via QSPI NOR Flash??

Hello,

 

Yes, you must also keep the SD card inserted when using the QSPI boot flow. The NOR flash is used to store some binaries that are needed to boot up the platform (the M7 Bootloader, along with the ATF and the GoldVIP gateway binaries) and it can't accommodate the entire rootfs of the Linux domain (which has over 4 GiB). Therefore, the SD card must still be used.

 

Best regards,

George
