Uboot android booting

[venu_mos]

Iam using uboot 2023v10 uboot (open source) on my board and want to boot android os using this version of bootloader, the problem fatload command is not working because i have all the android partitions as raw GPT partitions with out any file system on them that's why fatload doesnt work to load kernel, and dtb into RAM, but the phytec version of uboot is able to boot the OS from that raw partitions, how can i make my bootloader to boot android from these raw partitions.

Board: Phytec Phyboard Pollux 

SoC: imx8mp 

Android 11 version with A/B partitions 

fastboot is also not recoginizing the partitions to flash the images to particular partition.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks  & Regards,

Venu Gopal.

Hi @venu_mos,

I hope you are doing well.

If there are no FAT partitions available then one cannot use fatload command to load kernel & dtb.

One can use the mmc read command to read from raw GPT partitions.

mmc commands

One can refer to uboot-imx/include/configs/colibri_imx7.h for example.

I hope it helps!

Thanks & Regards,
