Booting from eMMC STM32MP135

[ChrisRCAL]

Hello,

We had to switch out an SD card for eMMC and we kept with SDMMC1. I am aware of having to burn the fuses to get eMMC to default to SDMMC1 which I did. I was able to get it to flash successfully, and now when you switch it to 010 it will boot from SDMMC1 using eMMC. It will then get an error message,

When I look at the warning message in the source code for TFA. For the FIP header check failed,

if ((header->name == TOC_HEADER_NAME) && (header->serial_number != 0))

I verified with fiptool info and the name is equal to TOC_HEADER_NAME and the serial number is not 0, so I have no idea how that fails. 

Then going down to the error message in the source code it talks about trusted-boot, which it should be since i am using the default st-image-core. 

So when I use st-image-core with my .conf, I made sure to enable everything related to eMMC.

Which I followed from the wiki. 

Any solutions or suggestions would be highly appreciated. Hopefully I provided enough information. Doing everything similar works when using an SD-Card, its only when trying to switch to an eMMC things get broken. Thank you for your time.

I'm booting from eMMC on MP151

Se my signature for the project. Just copy my device tree.

Copy also my flash layout.

Hello DMart,

Thank you for your response!

I looked at the flash-layout and it looks exactly like the one the ST BSP creates, which is what I am using. I looked at the DTS, and the SDMMC looks practically like mine except I only have 4 data pins. I do not know if the device tree is the issue, because it worked for the SD-Card just fine. I do not know if I copy and paste your dts it would work on a stm32mp135 since they are different flavors, I practically started from the stm32mp135f-dk board, and trimmed the tree down to only the devices/peripherals I needed.

Activate the Op-tee debug and set the debug level to 4. 

When you got this message when the software of the image is corrupt.

Firmware Image Package header check failed.
