Hey based_on,
I can’t really help you here… I am also looking forward to the 8.5 release for a while now. I want to use the updated TIFS firmware that allows firewall access. This will allow us to use openocd with the dmem path.
I have been watching the repos here: BeagleBoard.org / repos-arm64 · GitLab and I honestly can’t tell if the 8.5 release is on the immediate horizon. Perhaps RCN will give us some updated news…
To use 8.5 (or maybe 8.6) now, if you are up for the challenge, you could try this suggestion that was posted back on Jan 9, 2023: > “Right now the easiest thing to do, is grab the 8.5 SDK image and copy our device tree over in the boot folder…”
