I see in TEBF0808 TRM if the DIP switch S5-1 and 2 are set to ON, the system can boot from SPI Flash if no SD is detected.

I have a TEBF0808 starter kit and have not changed anything on it yet. I removed the SD card purposely to make it boot from SPI flash, but I don't see anything showing to the debug port. Does the start kit come with this feature?

Do I need to reconfigure anything to make it boot from flash?

Thanks.

Hi,
do you have a valid design in the QSPI flash?

Boot Mode is shown on LED D7, when the board is powered on (press power button):

Thanks, John. I found out that the flash is not programmed by default. After I wrote image to the flash, it was able to boot from flash on the starter kit.

The problem is now when I move the same SoM to our own custom board, it cannot boot. Nothing happens. The ERR_OUT pin out is high. We dumped the register values as shown below. it looks the boot mode setting and power were good, but failed to read from flash. I don't know what else I could be missing. I have attached my schematic here. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you try to start startkit design on your carrier? This can't work, because you has other MIO configuration.

I quickly checked your schematics:
1:You use normal levelshifter (TXS0108ERGYR) for SD but you need SD levelshifter. I think this never works...it should be some which supports SD.

2:Starterkit design use I2C interface to configure SI5345 on the module (over tebf0808 levelshifter), I saw I2C feedback is not connected on your carrier, so our Starterkit FSBL stops when he try to program SI5345.


So you must start with test_board design (set uart MIO like you has used on your carrier) and try qspi boot. --> in this case at first only qspi, DDR4 and uart is initialised on PS. If this works, add your other periphery to the PS and test it.

Hi John,

I tried the test board design and it works now. Thanks very much for your help and suggestions.
