S32G-VNP-EVB3 Unable to load M7 from QSPI

[SARATHI_22]

hi,

I am currently working on a project using the S32G-VNP-EVB3 board and I am encountering an issue with booting from QSPI.

I have followed the "S32G-VNP-GLDBOX3 SOFTWARE ENABLEMENT GUIDE" to program a simple LED ON program,

which works successfully when booted from the SD card.

However, when I attempt to boot the same program from QSPI, the board remains idle with no response from the LED.

Here are the details of my setup

- Board: S32G-VNP-EVB3

- Development Environment: S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform Version 3.4 (Build id: 201217, Update 3)

- SDK:PlatformSDK_S32XX_2022_03 version 3.0.2

Steps Taken:

1. Successfully programmed and booted the LED ON program from the SD card, with LED D14 turning on.

2. Modified the IVT configuration for QSPI, using the same bin file.

3. Set the boot mode:

- BOOTMODE0: 1

- BOOTMODE1: 0

- BOOT CFG [0-31]: 0

"C:\NXP\S32DS.3.4\eclipse\mcu_data\processors\S32G399A\PlatformSDK_S32XX_2022_03\quadspi\default_boot_images\mx25_sim133sdr.bin" used for QSPI configuration.

Despite these steps, the board does not boot from QSPI and remains idle. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions you can provide to help resolve this issue.

I have attached the project below.
