Android Automotive 15 prebuilt and custom image not booting on i.MX 8QXP (NXP MCI board)

[SB_Cbe]

Hi everyone,

We’re working on bringing up Android Automotive OS 15 on the NXP MCI i.MX 8QXP (i.MX 8QuadXPlus) board.

We followed the official NXP documentation from this link:
https://www.nxp.com/design/design-center/software/embedded-software/i-mx-software/android-automotive...

We downloaded and installed the prebuilt image: automotive-15.0.0_1.1.0_image_8qmek_car

Then we flashed it successfully to the board using the standard flashing procedure described in the NXP guide.
However, when we try to boot the board, here’s what happens:

• The NXP loading screen appears for about a minute. As attached below , 

• Then the display turns off (no Android UI).

• On the serial console, we can see boot logs (screenshot attached).

• The same issue occurs when we build Android 15 from source package (automotive-15.0.0_1.3.0_source) — flashing works fine, but the scenario is same as that of the pre-built image as described above.

Are there known issues or patches needed for display or GPU initialization on this board? Any guidance or troubleshooting pointers would be really helpful!

Hi @SB_Cbe 

I will try to reproduce this issue on my side.   Which board you are using?   B0 or C0? 

Regards

Hello @danielchen , 
Thanks for reaching out, its B0 Board. 
Thanks 

[danielchen]

please check whether your board is B0 or C0 revision.

My board is C0,  I flashed image with command, 

.\uuu_imx_android_flash.bat -f imx8qxp -e -u c0

Then this board can boot successfully

Ours is B0 board and we used this command from the official document , UG10177_Android_Automotive_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf, Page number 9
