DDR Stress Tester Option2(JTAG) for i.MX7D-Sabre didn't work

torus1000 — Thu, 31 Jan 2019 09:42:07 GMT

I tried Option 3&2 of DDR3 stress tester with i.MX7D-Sabre.

Option 3(U-Boot) worked correctly but Option 2(JTAG) didn't display anything, I don't know why.

i.MX6/7 DDR Stress Test Tool V3.00
https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-105652
i.MX7D DRAM Register Programming Aid
https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-152468
Option 3 U-Boot: ddr-test-uboot-jtag-mx7d.bin
Option 2 DDR Stress Tester: JTAG Interface ddr-test-uboot-jtag-mx7d.elf

Here is my commands of SEGGER J-Link Jtag.

What was wrong with my setting or commands?

Can anyone help me?

BTW elf file converted to ihex on the imx7d-sabre linux as following.
$ cp /run/media/mmcblk0p1/ddr*.elf .
$ objcopy -O ihex ddr-test-uboot-jtag-mx7d.elf /run/media/mmcblk0p1/ddr-test-uboot-jtag-mx7d.hex

I found my mistakes as following;

(1) init command file
removed 1st line of jtag_init_jlink.txt
//w4 30000000 33FFFFFF
(2) iomux setting
added IOMUX ALT=0 setting for RXD&TXD pin
w4 30330128 0
w4 3033012c 0
(3) uart1 enable
corrected UART2 to UART1
//w4 30890080 1
w4 30860080 1

After fixing them, it worked.

In my case, reset was needed before setpc command as following.

J-Link>r
Reset delay: 0 ms
Reset type NORMAL: Toggle reset pin and halt CPU core.
J-Link>setpc 910000
J-Link>g

Hello,

I.MX7 should be in serial (USB) downloader mode for JTAG.

"Normally, in order to avoid any boot media that might be present, the boot configuration is changed to serial/USB.

The device comes out of reset and ends up staying in the boot ROM as long as no valid serial boot image is fed.

The same would be true of any other boot configuration that has no valid images present. Then, JTAG can be used

from there."
