iMXRT1170 Boot from eMMC boot1 partition

[yangaichimantou]

Hi,

Now We can boot from eMMC User Area partition by MCU BootUtility.

However,when we try to boot from eMMC boot1 partition.

It can not work.

We want to know how to set the configuration of MCU BootUtility or other modification of the system to

let the iMXRT1170 boot from Boot1 partition?

Hope for your reply.

I have found a way to boot from the eMMC boo1 partition with MIMXRT1170-EVKB. Below you can find the steps to make it work:

1. Set target setup as follows

   

2.  Click the “Boot device Configuration” button and set all the fields as presented below
   

    

3.  Set the MiMXRT board in SDP Mode and load the image
4. Power off the board
5. Set the boot switches as follows - sw1 "0.0.1.0" sw2 "1.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.0"
6. Power on the board
7. The software loaded to the eMMC boot 1 partition should start

No, my main problem is not with MCU BootUtility.

I want to boot from eMMC boot1 partition.This is our main problem.

Now we can boot from eMMC user data partition.
