Coldfire - Flash Programmer Task Error

matiascordero — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:15:49 GMT

Hi, Im trying to program a Coldfire V2 MCF52235CAL60 with codewarrior v10.5 on a computer with OS Windows Xp 32 bits. In order to do this, we are using a PEMICRO P&E USB Universar Multilink, using its port D.

I ve tried to do the following task always with similar kind of error.

-Blanck Check fails.

-Program fails.

-Hardware Diagnostic Fails.

On the other hand, erase task success.

The error I receive when programming is copied below.

---ERROR MESSAGE---

Please check if the flash base address is correct or if there are any flash devices mapped inside the selected memory space.

If a custom target initialization file was used then check the following parameters: flash base address, flash bank size and flash

bank port size.

Please enable Verify Target Memory Writes in Target Configuration to check that the algorithm downloads correctly. If you are down

loading the algorithm to DDR try checking your DDR configuration.

An invalid preference was passed to the ColdFire GDI protocol(ColdFire GDI Protocol Adapter)

I am attaching the screenshot of the Flash Programer Task.

I’ve upgraded U-multilink firmware. I’ve reinstalled U-multilink driver.

Any idea? I’m a bit confused.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Matias:

We are sorry for the time with no replies.

I see this happens to you with a target task. Have you tried to flash the device with a new project but with a debug session instead?

This would help to confirm that your device can be programed and it is not damaged.

Also, please open the "Program" operation you have in there and take a screenshot to see the configurations. I see you have an Address Offset, have you tried with no address offset?

I tried from my side with a M52235EVB board and had no problems to erase, blank check or program in CodeWarrior v10.5.

Regards!

Hello, thanks for answering.

Now, placed on another computer with W7 32bits, I installed CW 7.2 and unfortunately I've reached the same result.

But I could use the Hardware Diagnostic tool available on this CW version and I succeeded in reading the following address from the target.

(Address 0x40000000) = IPSBAR = (value 0x40000001)

(Address 0x40110000) = RCR = (value 0x05)

(Address 0x40110001) = RSR = (value 0x04)

(Address 0x40110004) = CCR = (value 0x0600)

(Address 0x40110007) = LPCR = (value 0x02)

(Address 0x40110008) = RSR = (value 0x0000)

(Address 0x4011000A) = CIR = (value 0x1301) means it’s a MCF52235

(Address 0x401D0000) = CFMMCR = (value 0x0000)

(Address 0x401D0002) = CFMCLKD = (value 0x00)

(Address 0x401D0008) = CFMSEC = (value 0x00000000)

(Address 0x401D0010) = CFMPROT = (value 0x00000000)

(Address 0x401D0014) = CFMSACC = (value 0x00000000)

(Address 0x401D0018) = CFMDACC = (value 0x00000000)

(Address 0x401D0020) = CFMUSTAT = (value 0xC0)

(Address 0x401D0024) = CFMCMD = (value 0x00)

(Address 0x401D004A) = CFMCLKSEL = (value 0x0000)

Knowing this I could say

- I am able to communicate with the target through the Universal Multilink successfully.

- The Universal Multilink works properly..

- This last block of registers means that flash is neither secured nor protected.

- The target is not damage, it answers correctly.

Here are some screenshots.

Hardware Diagnostic of CW.7.2

This happens when trying to debug. This window appears and I cannot neither step nor run.

When I execute the diagnostic task, this error is thrown. Similiar to Blank Chek and Program task executions.

Other configurations.

The offset you mentioned was 0x00000000.

I suspect I have some configuration problem. Either in the lcf file or in the cfg file or in the .mem file. I am using the defaults provided by CW for this files.

That’s why I’ve prepared and attached a single program (workspace zipped - TEST1.zip) developed on CW 10.5 with the Prossesor Expert.

This is the code into the workspace I've attached plus PE initializations of course.

int count =0;

count++;

The S19 file generated from this project cannot be programmed with the program task...

I cannot debug neither in RAM nor in FLASH. Why couldn’t I debug on RAM?

Program, Blanck Check, Diagnostic Tasks fail.

Erase Task doesn't fail. However.... With the Hardware diagnostic I read values different to 0xFF from addresses 0x00000000 ---

After erasing the flash FF values are expected isnt it?

Ok... I will go on working.

Thanks Thanks a lot.

Regards

Matias

Hello Matias:

Sorry for the delay to reply.

I see that you have covered a lot of options and all your setup seems to be correct.

I remember a while ago I had these kind of problems and they were related to the power supply of my board. It was solved changing to a power supply with more volts and amperes available. Obviously you need a proper regulator, are you using custom board or Freescale EVB board?

I know this is a vague response, but I really had those problems, and other than that I am out of ideas :S

Hi,

Can you go back to CW7.2 with correct HW cofiguration set to M52235EVB.CFG? I think the reason it does not work on CW7.2 is that you have chosen the wrong cfg file (MCF5235.CFG) that does not have internal flash support (FlashBar is not enabled).
