TE0820 Flash eMMC over JTAG

Hi there,
I would like to flash the eMMC flash on the TE0820 over JTAG. I already modified my kit so that the boot_mode pins can be changed to JTAG and eMMC bootmodes. Currently is booting over JTAG.
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't it the eMMC @0xFF17 0000 ? and SD card @ 0xFF16 0000 ?
Because when it enters u-boot it selects memory at ff160000 for emmc flashing
sdhci@ff160000: 0
ZynqMP> mmc dev 0 0
switch to partitions #0, OK


The process gets stuck at 0% ZynqMP> 0%...
Any ideas what might be ? I would appreciate any help.

Hi,
eMMC is not formated by default. easiest way is to boot linux from SD(for example our reference design) and use linux to format eMMC like you want.
SD0 is eMMC(should be @ 0xFF16 0000)
SD1 is SD (shoudl be @0xFF17 0000)
On our reference design SD1 is set as premary boot mode.

Hi John,
thanks for your reply.
Yes I realize that over the SD/QSPI boot and then over Linux format the eMMC is the easy way.And it works . But once we get our product into production we wont have SD card input no more. Just JTAG and eMMC/QSPI.
So we would need to:
1. load over JTAG the pmu_fw,  fsbl_fw, atf, u-boot.
2. From the u-boot format the emmc partition.
3. Load the image to RAM,
4. Copy the image(pmu_fw, fsbl_fw, atf, u-boot, kernel rfs etc) to the emmc.
 
The provided Xilinx bash script program_flash ( can be found under  ~/petalinux/2023.1/tools/xsct/bin/program_flash) does this but gets stuck when erasing the eMMC from the u-boot.
I also tried the steps provided here https://support.xilinx.com/s/article/67157?language=en_US. But it never executes the u-boot.

From the serial console looks like it gets stuck in stage 4 from the PMU_fw and applies the "Protection configuration". But from the xsct output l looks like it loads even fsbl, atf and the u-boot.
So I am not sure if this could be due to the pmu_fw or fsbl_fw.

Thank you for your support on this matter.

Hi,
uboot is also possible, but I can't help much more, this is more general AMD(Xilinx) problem...
Other alternative. write QSPI over jtag, boot uboot and uboot load image.ub over eth via tft server and boots linux which automatically write emmc and maybe also overwrite qspi with your factory boot.bin

Hi John,
ended up using the program_flash script provided by xilinx. Unfortunately that script uses an executable. So custom modifications are tricky.
I assume the executable uses xsct. To bad they dont provide the sources. But perhaps as alternative would be to write a .tcl script. Just didnt figure out quite well how to direct the u-boot to XSCT in order to execute some u-boot commands like mmc list, mmc part, etc. 

But the script performs well for flash erase, create partition and copy the .bin, .TIF, u-boot scripts, etc .
Can also make a verify in the end.

Thanks once again for your support !
Best,
PeMA
