Hi Support,
 
After building the iMX8QM bootloader and making its image with
       make SOC=iMX8QM flash_flexspi
command the bootloader image was burned to the SPI flash device of the iMX8QM MEK board:
      sudo uuu -b qspi  iMX8QM/flash.bin
 
  uuu (Universal Update Utility) for nxp imx chips -- libuuu_1.4.43-5-ga0b566d
 
  Success 1    Failure 0                                                                                      
  1:8      8/ 8 [Done                                  ] FB: done                                                                                                                                                    
After the board reset or power cycle the bootloader does not start - no serial output and the LED5 is OFF that indicates the the boards remains in the reset state.
 
The same bootloader build for SSD/eMMC device works with no problems make SOC=iMX8QM flash_b0 .
 
The NXP software version used for the bootloader build:
            firmware-imx-8.1.bin
    imx-sc-firmware-1.2.bin
    imx-atf-5.4.47_2.2.0.tar.bz2
    imx-mkimage-5.4.47_2.2.0.tar.bz2
    imx-scfw-porting-kit-1.6.0.tar.gz
    uboot-imx (imx_v2018.03_4.14.98_2.0.0_ga)
 
The serial output during flashing is shown below:
