Populating the EMMC seems like an infinite download loop

[Carson]

Hello, 

I am trying to populate the EMMC on the STM32MP257F-EV1 development board using a USB connection and I am running into a strange issue. I am trying to download the file from this wiki: Populate the target and boot the image - stm32mpu and specifically trying to download "FlashLayout_emmc_stm32mp257f-ev1-ca35tdcid-ostl-m33-examples-optee.tsv". When I do this everything seems fine at first. But it looks like the download may be in an infinite loop. Here is what the Log said from when I started the download to when I stopped it:

I have tried running the download for significantly longer (Current attempt has been 45 minutes) and it never seems to leave this loop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Carson ,

Can you please provide information about when and from who you get the board + share the reference you can find on the board and the SoC please. 

I assume you are using latest ecosystem V5.1 right ? 

Getting trace from UART during flashing operation can help to progress in analysis

Thanks
