RT1050: How to boot from SD Card

[haryanl]

Hi

I'm trying to boot from the SD card on the board RT1050

According to the Application Note AN12107 tutorial, use the IAR toolchain to generate the flash file. Then  using MFG tool to program an image to SD Card and Boot from the SD Card.

But I'm not using IAR right now,

so, how can i program an image to SD Card without using IAR. Example by MCUXpresso

Hi Kerry

Do you want to copy your whole data to the external SDRAM and run it?
-> regardless of the way, I want to boot from the SD card

What's the RT1050 board you are using? MIMXRT1050-EVKB?
Your evkbimxrt1050_ew_gui_bezier_clock is your own project, not the SDK directly project?
Before you download to the SD card, whether it works on the external flash?
-> Yes, i using MIMXRT1050-EVKB. But, I have changed HW Hyper Flash to QSPI Flash,
So, from the SDK project, I edit the file "evkbimxrt1050_flexspi_nor_config.c" in the xip folder. And change The flash driver to MIMXRT1050-EVK_IS25WP064A.cfx
It works normally

because, I thought these settings didn't matter when loading image from SD card, I didn't change it

 Please correct me if I'm wrong

Hi @haryanl ,

    Seems you put the app in the sdcard, and after boot, the real running area is the SDRAM.

  I have a suggestion for your testing, can you debug the code which all put in the external SDRAM, just debug it when put the data in the external SDRAM, whether the code function works or not?

  What's I am afraid is your code running in the SDRAM meet issues, not download to the sdcard issues.

   Do you know how to debug the code in the SDRAM? you just need put the SDRAM in the memory first link, and click attach to RAM, then you can debug it.

   Any updated information, please kindly let me know.

Hi Kerry

I'm sorry, I tried several ways, but I don't know how to debug the code in the SDRAM
With the instructions below, I seem to have successfully booted with SDRAM using project "evkmimxrt1020_iled_blinky",
 But it doesn't work with "evkbimxrt1050_ew_gui_bezier_clock"
https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-RT-Knowledge-Base/I-MX-RT-How-to-booting-to-SDRAM/ta-p/1125054

If you have EVK board can you check for me how to run the project ""evkbimxrt1050_ew_gui_bezier_clock"" from SD card. from there I can refer to your method

Sorry for the inconvenience, but looking forward to your help

Hi @haryanl 

  Which IDE you are using? As different IDE SDRAM debug is different, please also tell me what's the debugger you are using?

Hi Kerry

I'm using MCUXpresso IDE
And download the code to the external SD by: MCUBootUtility or MCUXpresso Secure Provisional tool(SPT)

Hi @haryanl 

  What's the debugger you are using when you use the MCUXPresso?

  CMSIS DAP, or JLINK?

Hi Kerry

when I use the MCUXPresso, I'm using CMSIS DAP (Kinetis Open SDA or External LPC Link2)
