2.10.5. OSPI

This section documents how to access OSPI MTD partitions from SD card boot.

2.10.5.1. OSPI MTD partition access from u-boot

The OSPI MTD partitions are configured in the default AM64x Processor SDK Linux as shown in the u-boot prompt below:

=> sf probe
SF: Detected s28hs512t with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 256 KiB, total 64 MiB
=> mtd list
List of MTD devices:
