"kernel NULL pointer" error msg when downloading with MFGTool

jaeminkim — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 08:44:54 GMT

Hi,

We have 3 board with same revision. (based on Sabre-SD)

2 of them working fine with my u-boot, uImage and rootfs.

on the other board, I encounter following error when I trying to download my files(u-boot, uImage etc) using MFGTool.

so I could not write my files to eMMC on board.

I replaced IMX6S chip twice and also replaced DDR memory, PMIC, eMMC. and problem still exist.

This problem happen after "Jumping to OS image"

I attached error log here

(I sent board to SMT company to replace some part.. so I can get entire log right now..)

2 other boards work fine with same MFGTool, u-boot, uImage. So I assume this is hardware problem.

just in case, I am replacing some parts along with USB-OTG line. there should be error correction on USB protocol though..

Can you guys give me advise please? from where should I start next step?

Hi Jaemin

such errors may be caused by ddr errors, please run ddr test

i.MX6/7 DDR Stress Test Tool V2.70

and rebuild mfg tools firmware with new ddr coefficients (they are in

uboot/../mx6sabresd/mx6solo_4x_mt41j128.cfg) found from ddr test,

use attached Yocto Guide sect.6.2 Manufacturing Tool, MFGTool

Other reason may be power supplies, please check its requirements in

i.MX6 System Development User’s Guide

http://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/IMX6DQ6SDLHDG.pdf

Thanks for your advise.

I'll try when I get the board back.

Dear JaeMIn Kim,

Did you resolve this issue ?

Because I'm also facing the same issue, while running MFG tool in L3.0.35 kernel.

(only 4 boards are giving issue out of 100)

But these issue boards also working fine with L3.14.38 kernel.

But we want it in L3.0.35 kernel.

If I'm using this L3.14.38 kernel's UBoot with L3.0.35 Kernel means, it's working fine.

I have tried 3 different kind of Power Suppliesbut same crash issue

And also I have tried DDR stress test tool. It's working fine both calibration and stress.

I hope you understand my issue.

Thank You.

Best Regards,

J.P.Raana
