We are experiencing issues while booting the J784S4 EVM board using prebuilt images. We have attached the detailed build procedure followed, along with the error logs observed during the boot process of the J784S4 board, for your reference. Please share the recommended procedure to create a bootable SD card using the prebuilt images. Procedure - 1. Site followed - https://sig.centos.org/automotive/provisioning/flashing-texas- instruments/ 2. Prebuilt image – 1. https://download.autosd.sig.centos.org/AutoSD-9/nightly/TI/auto- osbuild-j784s4evm-autosd9-qa-regular-aarch64-2208122337.e5a9b30b.raw.xz 3.

21 Jan '26

Please create a dist-git repo for kernel-ivos-qualcomm at https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/rpms/kernel-ivos-qualcomm This repo will be used in the same way that we use https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/rpms/kernel-automotive today. For AutoSD builds we will push to the c10s-sig-automotive-main branch. (We do not need a c9s branch.) Thank you, Scott

Re: Request to create a repository `k3-upstream-boot`
by Enric Balletbo i Serra 28 Aug '25

Dear list, Hopefully I'm subscribed now and the email is not lost. I'd like to make a request for a `k3-upstream-boot` repository at ` https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/rpms/` <https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/rpms/>. This repository will host the RPM package for firmware needed to boot TI k3 platforms like the J784S4 EVM and AM69-SK boards. While here, I'd like to take the opportunity to ask you to create another repository, 's32g-vendor-boot'. Similar to the other, this repository will host the RPM package for firmware needed to boot S32G platforms using the public vendor components/repositories Your help is appreciated.
