    Hello Aik,

    Finally we succeeded to boot the board from QSPI + SD card, U-boot first followed by Linux.

    The only thing we done to started successfully are :

    - Read the full QSPI content to a file (Default memory content when we received the board).

    - Write the QSPI flash with the file we read before (the QSPI should be the same, as we wrote it with the default content).

    -> After that the board booting, with some UART messages and a IP address get by the board.

    We doesn't understand what it solved the issue because we re-writed the QSPI with the content we read...

    However, the most important thing is now it works, and we are no more stuck to boot the board.

    After that, we followed the link below, and we are able to regenerate all the files and boot again the board with these new files.

    Thanks for your help.

Hi Convers,


I think currently we can ignore the Linux part first and just need to expect the Uboot has no issue to load where uboot will definately has some UART logs from the beginning

Can try to create the QSPI flash jic file to determine the memory structure in your board QSPIflsah following the Creating the Programming File Generator File from the document below, for this attempt we just need to consider the sof file and also the uboot:

Also make sure to check the SW switches settings set before and after flashing the jic file from the document below:
