Hello Azka,
Thank you for reaching out with your concerns about running FreeRTOS on the Cortex-M4 core of your Apalis iMX8 QuadMax module. Let’s address the issues you’re experiencing:
-
Booting Inconsistencies:
- The inconsistent boot behavior might be due to incorrect device tree configurations or BSP version compatibility issues. Please ensure that your device tree overlays are correctly applied and match the hardware configuration of your Ixora Carrier Board.
- Double-check your U-Boot environment settings to ensure the Cortex-M4 firmware is loaded correctly. Misconfigurations here can lead to boot issues.
-
Device Tree Overlay Errors:
- The error
failed on fdt_overlay_apply(): FDT_ERR_NOTFOUNDindicates that the overlay is not being applied correctly. This could be due to a mismatch between the overlay and the base device tree or an incorrect path or filename. - Verify that your overlays are compatible with the BSP version you are using. Sometimes, overlays require adjustments when switching between BSP versions.
- Carefully review the syntax and structure of your device tree overlays, as even minor errors can prevent them from being applied correctly.

BSP Version Compatibility:
- While BSP 7 should generally support the Apalis iMX8 QuadMax, specific issues or bugs might exist. If BSP 5.7.6 also presents problems, consider checking for any known issues or updates related to these versions.
- Testing with the latest stable BSP version, if available, might help resolve some of the issues you’re facing.
By focusing on these areas, you should be able to address the booting inconsistencies and overlay application errors. If you continue to experience issues, further investigation into your specific configurations and logs may be necessary.
