@Dhruvit 

Thank you very much.

Refer the sw-description file  in  

upgrage_image_build_source_file.zip (i.MX8QXP\imx8qxpmek_doublecopy_slotb_full_LF_v5.10.9_1.0.0）

Add below information to my  sw-description 

                    images: (

                        {

                            filename = "imx-boot-imx8qxpmek-sd.bin-flash_spl";

                            device = "/dev/mmcblk0boot0";

                        }  

                    );

after update by swupdate and reset the system output nothing from console(uboot not start).

My start command:

swupdate -l TRACE  -i imx8qxpevk.swu -e "stable,mmcblk0p2" or 

swupdate -l TRACE  -i imx8qxpevk.swu -e "stable,mmcblk0p4"

I had added my sw-description as attachment, please check it where the error is, thank very much.

If Run "reboot" after update by swupdate, will show below from console

U-Boot SPL 2021.04-lf_v2021.04+g1c0116f3da (Sep 06 2021 - 08:48:23 +0000)
Normal Boot
Trying to boot from MMC1
Primary set selected
Parse seco container failed -14
Load image from MMC/SD 0x0

Any suggestion about this? Thanks very much.

Hi @wang12zhe 

I hope you are doing well

It seems that the error 'Parse seco container failed -14' occurs because of the Wrong container header.

Please share the steps you followed to further debug the issue.

Thanks & Regards
