Hello,
I have just tested MIMX8MD6CVAHZAB (dual Industrial) MIMX8MQ5CVAHZAB (quadlite industrial) and MIMX8MQ6CVAHZAB (quad industrial) under negative temperature range in Environmental chamber. The iMX8M do not boot-up under 0°C.
There is output from console:
U-Boot SPL 2020.04-imx_v2020.04_5.4.24_2.1.0+g4979a99482 (May 30 2020 - 06:50:01 +0000)

And it keeps reading temperature until it reach 0°C or 1°C and then it starts properly.
Inside Environmental chamber it is like -10°C or -20°C or -40°C and iMX8M anyway reading temperature 112°C. I tested multiple CPUs even in Commercial range and all testing ended up with the same result. CPU Temperature (112000C)
So I am wondering is there any setting in bootloader ? Any recommendation ti fix it ?
Thank you
