Hi Nxp
We have a SoM using the iMX8MP. During reboot and quick reboots tests, we are facing an endless reboot issue which occurs randomly. The only way out of this endless reboot issue is to reset the Board again. We still don't the exact root cause of the issue but we found the exact location in the code where it happens.
We are using the following U-Boot branch:https://github.com/nxp-imx/uboot-imx/tree/lf_v2022.04.
In this branch, the SoM runs in an exception in the following code from the file arch/arm/mach-imx/spl.c:358 spl_load_simple_fit_fix_load:
In case of error IVT found message is shown and then the SoM stays in endless loop, unless a power on/off or hardware reset is applied.
Do you know this behaviour?
I think IVT is for secure boot images but we don't have secure boot enabled. Why are we having this issue?
Thanks and best regards,
Jaski

Hello,
I am from the SoM Vendor Toradex. As I said, it is usually working but seen very rarely and randomly on some SoMs. I think the issue is related to the misalignment of reading of the FIT image. Have you done quick reboots on your side? A quick reboot is when you reset the SoM or the SoC on EVK every 1-30 seconds.
Best regards,
Jaski
Hello,
Yes this issue is due to IVT is for secure boot, here you can check with SOM vendor if they have a uboot, since this works on EVK.

Hi, we don't have this issue with the mainline U-Boot.
It is a bit strange since we are not using at all Secure Boot for our regular images and we still see the error.
