custom LS1012A Board

Hello,

I had the job of a custom LS1012A Board to put it into operation.

As a reference, I have a FRDM-LS1012A. As a JTAG interface I use an OLIMEX ARM-USB-OCD-H in conjunction with OpenOCD.

When two boards, the JTAG connection directly with the LS1012A.

The QSPI on the FRDM-LS1012A can I describe. The other board i do not come to the MEM-AP.

To the Test:

write CSYSPWRUPREQ | CDBGPRWUPREQ -> DPACC [ CTRL/STAT ]
read CDBGPWRUPACK | CSYSPWRUPREQ | CSYSPWRUPACK | CDBGPRWUPREQ <- DPACC [ CTRL/STAT ]

write 0 -> DPACC [ SELECT.APSEL ]
read APACC [ CSW ]

OpenOCD:
> irscan ls1012a.dap 0xe
> drscan ls1012a.dap 32 0x0
5BA00477
> irscan ls1012a.dap 0xa
> drscan ls1012a.dap 3 0x02 32 0x50000000
02 00000000
> irscan ls1012a.dap 0xa
> drscan ls1012a.dap 3 0x03 32 0x0
02 F0000000
> irscan ls1012a.dap 0xa
> drscan ls1012a.dap 3 0x04 32 0x0
02 F0000000
> irscan ls1012a.dap 0xb
> drscan ls1012a.dap 3 0x01 32 0x0
02 00000000
> irscan ls1012a.dap 0xb
> drscan ls1012a.dap 3 0x01 32 0x0
01 00000000
> irscan ls1012a.dap 0xa
> drscan ls1012a.dap 3 0x03 32 0x0
01 00000000

The customer-specific board is made at this point to ACK WAIT. Then communication is not possible any more. Each access such as a reading of the CTRL/STAT register receives as response WAIT. The setting of the ABORT register changes nothing.

Since I no longer come at this point, I am grateful for every note.

Best regards,
Mario

As far as I know, the only ways to put a new LS1012a board into operation are:

1.- to use the Codewarrior TAP

2.- to write the SPI flash with RCW and u-boot, externally or prior to solder.

If you manage to do it with Olimex OCD it would be very interesting.

When the LS1012a processor starts, it needs a special RCW configuration data in SPI. If SPI flash is blank, to use JTAG to program it, you need to pulldown CLK_OUT pin with a 4k7 resistor (as seen in FRDM board), to use hard coded RCW data instead of getting it from flash.

Hope it helps.

Hi,
thanks for the reply.

We were able to find the error in the meantime. On the board is a different PHY than in the reference board installed. This attracts MDIO_MDC to GND, which according to the data sheet cannot be. Now I can write to the qspi.

Best regards,
Mario
