This bootloader does SOC initializations and attempts to boot a multicore appimage file named "app" present in the first FAT partition found in the connected SD card. The file can be copied to the SD card by connecting it to the host PC using a card reader. Make sure that it is named "app" without any file extension. If the card is new, make sure that it is formatted with FAT32/16.
If a multicore appimage file is found at the location, the SBL reads the file into a buffer and parses it. Each core is then initialized, application image is loaded, entry points are set and the core is released from reset. For more on bootflow/bootloaders, please refer Understanding the bootflow and bootloaders
To parse and load an mcelf file via SD bootloader, use the project examples/drivers/boot/sbl_sd_multicore_elf
When an mcelf image is received, the SBL parses it, loads each segment to its respective core. Then the core is released from reset.
The steps to run the example is same irrespective of the image format.
Since this is a bootloader, the example will be run every time you boot an application using this example. It is run from an SD card unlike other examples which are usually loaded with CCS. Nevertheless, you can build this example like you do for the others using makefile or build it via CCS by importing as a project.
