Hi Deven,

I tried all solutions in thread(link text).
No success.
bootaux ${loadaddr} is resetting with data abort even before it display loading elf.

Colibri iMX7 # bootaux }
## Starting auxiliary core at 0x1FFF8241(

Is this and issue with bootaux?

MY error.
Colibri iMX7 # dcache off

Hi @sarath

Sorry for the delay.

are you still facing the issue? I have tried with the attached image and .elf file.it worked smoothly.

Hi

I also saw similar issue booting M4 from latest U-Boot, iMX7D NAND. Had to switch to older one, which is fine with bootaux.

Hi ashok,

old u-boot version if working fine U-Boot 2019.07-3.0.4+g26d926eda0

latest u-boot has issues U-Boot 2020.07-5.1.0

are you planing fix.

will try using old u-boot with latest kernel and let you know.

Thanks,
P Sarath Chandra

I am seeing the same thing, identical crash on the same SOM and carrier board. I reverted to the eval-v3 to avoid any carrier-specific problems.

I reflashed my SOM back to basics. Torizoncore Upstream 5.1.0-devel-202011+build.4 colibri-imx7-emmc-06514944 and U-Boot 2020.07-5.1.0-devel+git.3c5809aacd31. is now installed.

Using the Colibri-iMX7-M4_FreeRTOS-1.2-20170407.zip example binaries as provided by Toradex, loading an .elf file causes the same data abort as captured above with the same registers. Loading a .bin works.

This is highly reproducible and appears to be a problem with U-Boot. Can Toradex please confirm?

lkoziarz · December 3, 2020, 10:05pm

I’ve reverted to an older Toradex image, the 04-21-2020 console demo image which uses U-Boot 2019.07-3.0.4+g26d926eda0.

elf binaries load and boot correctly on this image.

ashok.tx · December 8, 2020, 10:42am

Hi @sarath

I have checked internally and we will fix this issue in the coming u-boot release.

Hi @lkoziarz

IlanFigueiredo · December 8, 2020, 11:04am

@sarath, I also had the very same issue.
I downloaded and compiled the U-Boot for 3.0.4 and changed the “u-boot-nand.imx” file in my custom toradex image, created using Yocto Project.
It now boots both Linux 5.1 and the M4 auxiliary core with no issues.
I’m looking forward for the fix in the next version as well, @ashok.tx.

lkoziarz · December 8, 2020, 2:20pm

Can you identify where the regression occurred so I can update my Yocto build? Thanks.

gustavo.tx · March 8, 2021, 8:17pm

Greetings!

This issue was fixed and you can try the latest BSP 5.2.0 nightly to give it a try.

lkoziarz · March 16, 2021, 2:54pm

I’m forking uboot for our own Yocto build. Could you point me to a commit? Thanks.

lkoziarz · April 1, 2021, 4:12pm

Latest uboot has a working bootaux again. Thanks for your attention on this.

jaski.tx · April 13, 2021, 7:26am

Perfect. Thanks for the feeback.
