TDA4VM Debian 11.3 Flasher does not produce a functional eMMC

Hi @bernd can you please share the exact file you used, along with what happened or didn’t happen…

Edit;

Some Background, as i haven’t heard back yet…

There is an issue with the factory u-boot, unless you update u-boot on the eMMC, future images can fail to boot. This is why i made sure to set these directions up:

https://beagleboard.org/update-ai64/

You can overide the boot order and bypass the older u-boot in eMMC via:

  • Hold Reset and Boot
  • Insert Power
  • let off Reset
  • Bootrom will load from microSD
  • let off Boot

Working with the team at TI we did fix two very major issues with the default image… Lockup of R5 on bootup, and bad memory timings… Any image prior to 2022-11-01 will have these issues…

You can check the version of u-boot via:

sudo beagle-version | grep bootloader
bootloader:[/dev/mmcblk0boot0]:[tiboot3.bin]:[U-Boot SPL 2021.01-g8bafcf50 (Nov 10 2022 - 23:19:52 +0000)]
bootloader:[/dev/mmcblk0]:[/boot/firmware/tiboot3.bin]:[U-Boot SPL 2021.01-g8bafcf50 (Nov 10 2022 - 23:19:52 +0000)]
bootloader:[/dev/mmcblk0]:[/boot/firmware/tispl.bin]:[U-Boot SPL 2021.01-g8bafcf50 (Nov 10 2022 - 23:19:52 +0000)]
bootloader:[/dev/mmcblk0]:[/boot/firmware/u-boot.img]:[U-Boot 2021.01-g8bafcf50 (Nov 10 2022 - 23:19:52 +0000)]

If it’s Oct or Nov, it’s new enough.
