LS1021A custom board bring-up

winstonjacob — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 12:07:28 GMT

Hi guys,

I am using ls1021a custom board, here I configured a debug uart in RCW and DDR configuration for SD card boot, and I am are not getting the clock from the SD card while boot with sd card, any other configuration needed to boot the board.

Regards

Winston.

Points to check:

1) SYSCLK has correct frequency, is present at the processor's pin(s) and is properly selected.

cfg_eng_use0 selects between SYSCLK (single ended) and DIFF_SYSCLK/DIFF_SYSCLK_B (differential) clock inputs - refer to the AN4878 - LS1021A Design Checklist, Table 8. LS1021A reset configuration signals, IFC_WE0_B.

2) PORESET_B is asserted for at least 1ms (after all power supplies are stable) - refer to the QorIQ LS1021A Data Sheet, Table 24. RESET initialization timing specifications.

3) TRST_B is pulsed low during POR - refer to the Design Checklist, Table 61. JTAG system-level checklist, Boundary-scan testing.

4) Use a digital scope to check POR levels of all configuration signals described in the Design Checklist, Table 8. LS1021A reset configuration signals to ensure, in particular, that RCW source is selected properly.

5) Use a digital scope to ensure that all signals with Note 5 in ht eQorIQ LS1021A Data Sheet, Table 1. Pinout list by bus are not pulled low during POR.

Hi,

Do we need to flash anything through codewarrior for fresh custom board to do SD boot?

Or can we directly boot the fresh custom board using SD card, given above hardware conditions are satisfied?

No.

Our sd clock is not generated, so we are using Codewarrior to flash images to fresh custom ls1021a board (NOR), but the connection is not establishing, we keep getting the error "Failed to correctly configure jtag chain", How can we verify the jtag connection is proper or not.

Thanks for your immediate reply @ufedor .

1) Open a CCS window (C:\Freescale\CW4NET_v2020.06\Common\CCS\bin\ccs.exe)
2) Physical connection: USB to PC, JTAG to the customer board.
3) SW connection: in the ccs window type

source IDcode.tcl

4) Select CWTAP connection method and capture the test output.

What do you mean by "loopback test"?

The IDcode.tcl has to be executed when processor is included into the JTAG chain.

>What do you mean by "loopback test"?

after running source IDcode.tcl, I run ir command. That test returns 0. Can you check my log and tell me what else I can do?

This means that the processor is not included into the JTAG chain - i.e. between TDI and TDO.

Hi, now am getting that. IR loopback test returns non zero value. But all the values seems to be same. Is it expected. Am still getting Configure JTAG chain error only.

Re: LS1021A custom board bring-up

ufedor — Fri, 22 Jan 2021 05:29:16 GMT

JTAG chain is correct now.

To program RCW into a fresh-new board it is required either:

1) select cfg_rcw_src configuration signals for a hard-coded option

2) use CodeWarrior RCW override technique referring CodeWarrior for ARMv7 Targeting Manual, 8.2 Using a JTAG configuration file to override RCW and attached screenshot.

Re: LS1021A custom board bring-up

winstonjacob — Fri, 22 Jan 2021 05:50:52 GMT

We already using this steps, and I attached the RCW file from JTAG chain, so please check that, and do we need to flash any thing in OCRAM, for custom board?

Thanks for your immediate reply.
