Hello

I tried to boot our iMX93 product from SPI nor flash.But I can not get it work.Please advise me .Below it the details.

Our uboot config setting.

# default is:
# UBOOT_CONFIG = "sd"
#
# this fspi variant is for booting from SPI flash
UBOOT_CONFIG = "fspi"
IMXBOOT_TARGETS_BASENAME = "flash_singleboot"
UBOOT_CONFIG[fspi] = "${UBOOT_CONFIG_BASENAME}_fspi_defconfig"
IMXBOOT_TARGETS = "${@bb.utils.contains('UBOOT_CONFIG', 'fspi', '${IMXBOOT_TARGETS_BASENAME}_flexspi', '${IMXBOOT_TARGETS_BASENAME}', d)}"

After compiling it.We got the image imx-xxx-fspi-fspi.bin-flash_singleboot_flexspi .And I burn it with " ./uuu -b qspi imx-xxx-fspi-fspi.bin-flash_singleboot_flexspi ".

I got below output from console.But after changing the boot mode to spi nor boot mode.I don't see any output from console.

Hi Salas

Could it be a FCB configure issue?We are using W25Q128FW as flash device.I checked the document IMX93RM .But I am still not clear if the FCB is correct and if not correct how to figure it out?

Thanks,

Jason

Hello @jasonSilc

Could you please change the UBOOT_CONFIG from "fspi" to "sd fspi" as in reference manual:

Best regards.

Hi Salas

I have changed the UBOOT_CONFIG in my local.conf ,but I got a error when running "bitbake core-image-base".Please see the error log below in red.

Hello @jasonSilc ,

Please try uboot_config_imx93evk="sd fspi" instead of UBOOT_CONFIG.

e.g:

MACHINE ??= 'imx93evk'
DISTRO ?= 'fsl-imx-wayland'
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES ?= "debug-tweaks"
USER_CLASSES ?= "buildstats"
PATCHRESOLVE = "noop"
BB_DISKMON_DIRS ??= "\

HALT,${TMPDIR},100M,1K \
HALT,${DL_DIR},100M,1K \
HALT,${SSTATE_DIR},100M,1K \

ACCEPT_FSL_EULA = "1"

# Switch to Debian packaging and include package-management in the image
PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_deb"
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "package-management"
uboot_config_imx93evk="sd fspi"

That configuration worked for me.

Best regards.

Salas.

Hi SalaS

Thanks for you help.

I just tried it ,I have not saw the error again .But I can not got the fspi boot image .Only saw sd boot image with the config.It seems "uboot_config_eboot-pro-fspi" not work really in my workspace.

Do you generate the fspi boot image ?

Can you let me know which yocto release do you use ?

jasonSilc · ‎04-22-2024

Hi Salas

Yes ,I have done that .

The eMMC image work well but NOR flash boot not.Do you have any idea?Should I check the uboot config file ?

Thanks

Jason

Alejandro_Salas · ‎04-22-2024

Hello @jasonSilc

Have you tried to set the board in Serial Download mode, then set the command:

uuu -b qspi imx-xxx-fspi-fspi.bin-flash_singleboot_flexspi

As in https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/IMX_LINUX_USERS_GUIDE.pdf (Chapter 4.2.2).

Then put the boot switches in FlexSPI boot, and turn on the board.

Best regards.

Salas.
