Add DDR4 memory to imx8mp

VoVan — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 08:04:48 GMT

We try add DDR4 64 Gb(8Gigabytes) memory to imx8mp - 2 devices 32 Gb(4Gigabytes) each with 2 bank group adresses(K4ABG165WA). We use MX8M_Plus_DDR4_RPA_v8.xlsx.

Our configuration:

Memory type:                                            DDR4
Manufacturer:                                            Samsung
Memory part number:                                K4ABG165WA-MCWE
DDR4 Density per Device (Gb)     16( > 16Gb more impossible to choose)!!!
Number of DDR4 devices per chip select 2
Density per chip select (Gb):                      32
Number of Chip Selects used                     1
Total DRAM density (Gb)                            32
Number of ROW Addresses                       17
Number of COLUMN Addresses                 10
Number of BANK addresses                       2
Number of BANK GROUP addresses         2
Total number of BANKS                              16
DDR4 Data Bus width per device               16
Total Data Bus Width                                  32
Clock Cycle Freq (MHz)    1600
Clock Cycle Time (ns)                                 0,625
FREQ1 setpoint Clock Cycle Freq (MHz)   668
FREQ1 Clock Cycle Time (ns)                    1,49700598802395

With this config we have:

memory set 0x3D400200 32 0x0000001F #DDRC_ADDRMAP0
memory set 0x3D400204 32 0x003F0909 #DDRC_ADDRMAP1
memory set 0x3D400208 32 0x00000700 #DDRC_ADDRMAP2
memory set 0x3D40020C 32 0x00000000 #DDRC_ADDRMAP3
memory set 0x3D400210 32 0x00001F1F #DDRC_ADDRMAP4
memory set 0x3D400214 32 0x08080808 #DDRC_ADDRMAP5
memory set 0x3D400218 32 0x08080808 #DDRC_ADDRMAP6
memory set 0x3D40021c 32 0x00000F08 #DDRC_ADDRMAP7
memory set 0x3D400220 32 0x00000801 #DDRC_ADDRMAP8

With this config DDR4 not work properly. U-boot don't load from RAM.

When set Number of BANK GROUP addresses = 1 We have:

memory set 0x3D400200 32 0x0000001F #DDRC_ADDRMAP0
memory set 0x3D400204 32 0x003F0909 #DDRC_ADDRMAP1
memory set 0x3D400208 32 0x00000700 #DDRC_ADDRMAP2
memory set 0x3D40020C 32 0x00000000 #DDRC_ADDRMAP3
memory set 0x3D400210 32 0x00001F1F #DDRC_ADDRMAP4
memory set 0x3D400214 32 0x07070707 #DDRC_ADDRMAP5
memory set 0x3D400218 32 0x07070707 #DDRC_ADDRMAP6
memory set 0x3D40021c 32 0x00000F07 #DDRC_ADDRMAP7
memory set 0x3D400220 32 0x00003F01 #DDRC_ADDRMAP8

DDR4 work (only 4Gigabytes: Since there is no bank switching).U-boot load, only 4Gigabytes work properly with mtest, other 4Gigabytes don't work!!!

Someone checked work of DDR4 memory without chipselect(Number of Chip Selects used = 1) and with switching bank group(Number of BANK GROUP addresses = 2)???

Hi @VoVan,

I hope you are doing well.

Have you made any changes to u-boot configuration header file and device tree file?

Please provide me with u-boot configuration header for the board (e.g. /include/configs/imx8mp_evk.h) for further debugging.

Thanks & Regards,
Sanket Parekh

When set 0x3d4000220(ADDRMAP8) to 0x801 by your xls formula - uboot don't load!!! Why 8 set to ADDRMAP_BG_B1???

When set 0x3d4000220(ADDRMAP8) to 0xa01 by set manually - uboot load ok!!! mtest 0x60000000 0x190000000 - work good!!!, but from address 0x200000000 failed!!!

How to work with map registers???

What registers need to be changed to start working the entire range of memory???(maybe other ADDRMAP registers or something else)???

I already test work DDR4 from 0x6000000 to 0x190000000 by mtest( need work from 0x200000000 to 0x240000000)....

So with 6Gb setting kernel and u-boot work correct :-). But not work with 8Gb. And i have a question.

Has anyone tried using 8Gb on imx8mp(supported by documentation)???

Why in the utility DDR Stress Tool you can choose only 6GB Max density???

From imx8mp xls(c31 - total data bus width = 32 bit):

addrmap_bank_b0 = (if c31 == 32) ? 9 : 7 = 0x9;

From imx8mm mini xls(c31 - total data bus width = 32 bit, C28 - number of bank group = 2):

addrmap_bank_b0 = ((7 + C31/16) + (C28 - 1 ))) = 0xa

addrmap_bank_b0 = ((7 + C31/16) + (C28 - 1 ))) = 0x9, when C28 = 1

imx8mp xls don't use c28 setting, imx8mm use c28 .........

I solved the problem. I got the whole range - 8Gb.
For this, I divided the memory into two regions: 3Gb and 5Gb, despite the fact that I have two DDR4 memory 4Gb each.
There is also a limit on the maximum size of memory in the optee-os package (6Gb) for imx8mp and other platforms.
I am attaching patches for imx8mp 5.4.70 yocto, maybe someone will need them.
