Sorry for the late reply. It sounds like at some point post PG2.1 TI changed at least the value used for SPI boot. I have in the past validated SPI boot on my AM335x GP EVM with PG2.1 silicon. SPI boot on this hardware is not supported officially due to I believe hardware design issues. Did you make any further progress here? Did making the value U-Boot checks by 0x0b make things suddenly work? Thanks! -- Tom -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
