Hi,

I am trying to boot an STM32MP257F with M33 master from SD-card (BOOT=0111).

I get the following error on PH4:

----------------------------------------
blockingfailure

S-0002031104084FFC
NS-0000000000000000
L-000000AE
----------------------------------------

What does it mean?

Best regards.

Hello @jh2 ,
Can you precise if you are working with your own design or if you work on an Evaluation / Discovery kit ?

Kind regards,
Erwan.

Hi @Erwan SZYMANSKI ,

I am working on a custom design. In what sense is this information relevant in decoding the error message?

Best regards,

Hello @jh2 ,
Very simply, to know if we could reproduce it on our side. Because if you had had this problem on an EV/DK kit, it would mean that we would have an issue on our side.

This log seems to be an error raised by the BootROM. I need to cross check with BootROM expert to know the signification, I will come back to you ASAP.

Did you try to boot in A35-TD and observed the same issue ?

Kind regards,
Erwan.

According to BootROM expert, this log does not give the reason of the fail, it just indicates that:

  • The BootROM went to binary load step, but failed to complete it.
  • It may be:
    • A wrong header
    • A wrong memory place
    • A flash memory access issue

Kind regards,
Erwan.
