IMX8MP Custome board DDR Calibration failed

leavs — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 08:28:08 GMT

We designed one board based on IMX8MP EVK, we use 2GB LPDDR4, When I use Mscale DDR Tool to Calibration it, I got the following FAILED error.

PMU: Error: Failed write leveling coarse
PMU: ***** Assertion Error - terminating *****
[Result] FAILED

Can you help to check what will cause this?

I use MT53D512M32D2DS-053 WT:D and I will attahce the script file for you to check.

The whole result like follow,

Hi @leavs

I hope you are doing well.

Please try changing PhyVref to 0x11.

Could you please provide me with the RPA xlsx sheet and schematic?

It will help to debug & cross-check information about lpddr.

Thanks & Regards,

Sanket Parekh

Hi @Sanket_Parekh

Thanks for your quickly reply.

I attached the schematic for LPDDR4 and RPA xlsx sheet.

We use same designe with IMX8MP for LPDDR4, but we use another Micro DDR called MT53D512M32D2DS-053 WT:D, it only have 2GB.

I will try changing PhyVref to 0x11 and back with the result.

Hi @Sanket_Parekh

I changed PhyVref to 0x11, the same error and result. Is there other option I can try?

Thank you for the help, the issue comes from the hardware, we use one new DDR to resolve this issue.
