Hello,
I am working with a BeagleBone AI-64 which uses the TI TDA4VM SoC.
I have flashed the board with:
BeagleBone AI-64 Debian 13 – v6.12.x-ti XGCE image
My goal is to run FreeRTOS on the R5F core.
For this, I downloaded:
TI PSDK RTOS – J721E 08.02.00.05
From the PSDK RTOS, I built the IPC example:
pdk_jacinto_08_02_00_21/packages/ti/drv/ipc/examples/echo_test
I successfully compiled the FreeRTOS Echo Test application and obtained:
ipc_echo_test_freertos_mcu1_0_release.xer5f
I then tried to load this firmware to the R5F core using Linux remoteproc:
sudo cp ipc_echo_test_freertos_mcu1_0_release.xer5f /lib/firmware/
echo stop | sudo tee /sys/class/remoteproc/remoteproc16/state
echo ipc_echo_test_freertos_mcu1_0_release.xer5f | sudo tee /sys/class/remoteproc/remoteproc16/firmware
echo start | sudo tee /sys/class/remoteproc/remoteproc16/state
But I get:
/sys/class/remoteproc/remoteproc16/state: Invalid argument
dmesg:
remoteproc remoteproc16: Booting fw image ipc_echo_test_freertos_mcu1_0_release.xer5f, size 1483284
remoteproc remoteproc16: bad phdr da 0xa0100000 mem 0x8c
remoteproc remoteproc16: Failed to load program segments: -22
remoteproc remoteproc16: Boot failed: -22
Why does the kernel report “bad phdr” and fail to load the FreeRTOS binary?
Is the .xer5f output from PSDK RTOS incompatible with the BeagleBone AI-64 Debian remoteproc loader?
Do I need a different memory map / linker file when building R5F firmware for the BeagleBone AI-64?
The PSDK RTOS examples seem targeted for TI EVM (J721E EVM). Does the AI-64 require different R5F addresses?
Is there a specific PSDK version or configuration required for BeagleBone AI-64?
Or is FreeRTOS on R5F not supported with the XGCE Debian kernel.
**What is the correct procedure to load custom R5F firmware on BeagleBone AI-64?
**
Any guidance on how to correctly build and load FreeRTOS firmware on the AI-64 R5F core would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
