Issue to program MMC using STM32_Programmer_CLI tool

[sbg29]

Hello,

I am facing an issue with flashing my MMC on STM32MP157C-DK2 board using STM32_Programmer_CLI (linux version)

I have created a flash layout file like this:

#opt	Id	Name	Type	Device	Offset	Binary
-	0x01	fsbl-boot	Binary	none	0x0	tf-a-loader.stm32
-	0x03	ssbl-boot	Binary	none	0x0	u-boot-loader-optee.stm32
P	0x04	fsbl1	Binary	mmc0	0x4400	tf-a.stm32
P	0x05	fsbl2	Binary	mmc0	0x00044400	tf-a.stm32
P	0x06	ssbl	Binary	mmc0	0x00084400	u-boot.stm32
P	0x07	teeh	Binary	mmc0	0x00184400	tee-header_v2.stm32
P	0x08	teed	Binary	mmc0	0x001C4400	tee-pageable_v2.stm32
P	0x09	teex	Binary	mmc0	0x00204400	tee-pager_v2.stm32
P	0x10	ssbl-env	Binary	mmc0	0x00244400	u-boot-env.bin
P	0x11	ssbl-env-red	Binary	mmc0	0x00246400	u-boot-env.bin
P	0x12	fit1	Binary	mmc0	0x00248400	fit_kernel_dtb.itb
P	0x13	rfs1	Binary	mmc0	0x00848400	rootfs.squashfs
P	0x14	fit2	Binary	mmc0	0x02048400	fit_kernel_dtb.itb
P	0x15	rfs2	Binary	mmc0	0x02648400	rootfs.squashfs

After loading tf-a and u-boot and starting U-Boot in RAM, U-Boot fails to load binaries for flashing them into MMC

If I use a tsv file (with RawImage of SDcard as defined bellow), there is no issue but I don't want to choose this option because of time issue. Downloading and burning a complete image of MMC takes more time than downloading and burning individually images.

Partitions size is bigger than images size.

#opt	Id	Name	Type	Device	Offset	Binary
-	0x01	fsbl-boot	Binary	none	0x0	tf-a-loader.stm32
-	0x03	ssbl-boot	Binary	none	0x0	u-boot-loader-optee.stm32
P	0x32	sdcard	RawImage	mmc0	0x0	sdcard.img

I don't have any information in LOGs helping me to understand what is the problem.

Does anyone know what is wrong in the first tsv file ?

Best regards,

Hi @sbg29

As a first hint could you please manage to get a proper supply voltage.

Seems you are using a weak one

We already have cases where this lead to erratic behavior during flash operation.
