Unable to connect to target I.MX8MPLUS

bhardwaj kotha

Hi,

When I am trying to detect my target platform  for i.MX8Mplus processor using the ARM Development Studio v2025.0-1 . I am getting prints like this

[23/09/25 12:02:59] Arm Development Studio v2025.0-1, build number 2025010903

[23/09/25 12:03:00] Detected number of devices = 136, maximum allowed = 128. This problem is usually a result of the scanchain not acting correctly when using JTAG scans to count the number of devices.

    Hi again

    Sorry, I meant to add:
    After interrupting u-boot, issue this command:

    u-boot=> bootaux 0x7e0000
    ## Starting auxiliary core stack = 0xEDFE0DD0, pc = 0x28040000...

    In our tests (with an early board/distro) we also needed to issue this command, but sorry, I don't know whether it will be needed for your setup, or whether the values might need to be different:
    u-boot=> md.w 0x30340058 0xFFFFFFFE

    For more information see section 4.7.4.1.2 of

    www.nxp.com/.../UG10163.pdf

    If you still need more help, I suggest you reach out to the NXP Community at

    https://community.nxp.com/

    who are best placed to advise on the specifics of their board boot,
    or "Open a Support Case" with Arm using the Support link at the bottom of this page.
