Windows 10 IoT on NXP iMX8MP with 8GB RAM

[Ben10]

Will Windows 10 IoT work on NXP iMX8MP based custom board based having 8GB RAM? 

Our board boots with Windows 10 IoT when we mention "giMX8TokenSpaceGuid.PcdBank1MemorySize" as 3GB. When we mention "giMX8TokenSpaceGuid.PcdBank1MemorySize" as 5GB, it doesn't work.

Hi Mike,

We have already tried what has been done in the patch file, but it doesn't work for us, the Windows is stuck in the Windows logo stage, the Windows installation is not happening.

Hi,

We would recommend customer to check the setting according to attached patch file.

And please also refer below config for a stable 8GB RAM as reference:

mu_platform_nxp/NXP/MX8QXP_MEK/Drivers/SmbiosPlatformDxe/SmbiosPlatformDxe.c

// Memory device
STATIC CONST ARM_TYPE17 mArmDefaultType17 = {
  {
    { // SMBIOS_STRUCTURE Hdr
      EFI_SMBIOS_TYPE_MEMORY_DEVICE, // UINT8 Type
      sizeof (SMBIOS_TABLE_TYPE17),  // UINT8 Length
      SMBIOS_HANDLE_DRAM,
    },
    SMBIOS_HANDLE_MEMORY, //array to which this module belongs
    0xFFFE,               //no errors
    0xFFFF, // unknown total width
    0xFFFF, // unknown data width
    0x2000, // 8GB

 Below is the test result: 

Wish it helps.
