Config Tool Update causes DDR error

lcotten — Thu, 04 May 2023 00:03:33 GMT

I've updated the Config Tools for i.MX to Version 13.1. The updated DDR tool now has a constant error "Failed to generate code" (see picture). Its says "tool problem" and offers no specific issue. Even when I create a new from scratch configuration, the same thing happens. If I change any setting, I get a 'not supported" error. The CPU selected is MIMX8ML4xxxKZ. The Pin tools still works fine as far as I can tell. To reproduce, open the new, create a new config, select MIMX8ML4xxxKZ. Go back and forth between pin tool and DDR tool a couple of times and/or do an "Update Code".

Please go to C:\ProgramData\NXP\mcu_data_v13 and delete the processor folder. After that recreate the project from scratch.

I tried that. It didn't work. So, I uninstalled the app, deleted the whole "mcu_data_v13" folder (kept a copy), and reinstalled. Then I created a new config, and the problem is fixed. I was then able to import all my pin settings. So, I think all is well now. One interesting note: even after a fresh reinstallation, when I create new configs, the DDR tool comes up with my swizzle already in it.

Is there yet another badge for this? (kidding!)

You can check the Preset. If it is Custom then changes are applied to default configuration, otherwise it should show Default LPDDR4 Configuration.
