DFU Boot

DFU boot can be used to transfer images to the TDA4 board to boot till u-boot. Refer the instructions below to get to the u-boot prompt using DFU boot.

  1. Change boot mode to DFU boot mode and power on. For boot switch settings, see Section 3.1.
  2. On the HOST PC, run the below commands:
    HOST $ sudo dfu-util -l
    HOST $ sudo dfu-util -R -a bootloader -D <PATH_TO_BIN>/tiboot3.bin
    HOST $ sudo dfu-util -R -a sysfw.itb -D <PATH_TO_BIN>/sysfw.itb
    HOST $ sudo dfu-util -R -a tispl.bin -D <PATH_TO_BIN>/tispl.bin
    HOST $ sudo dfu-util -R -a u-boot.img -D <PATH_TO_BIN>/u-boot.img
     
    # At this point, the u-boot will start executing. Halt at the u-boot prompt (u-boot logs will appear on the MAIN UART 1st instance)
    
  3. At this point you will have u-boot up, you can press any key to halt.
