IMX6 SoloX: Unable to boot from QSPI NOR FLASH

joilg — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 14:55:57 GMT

Hello,

I am working on a customized IMX6 Solo X Board with a Spansion FL128S Serial NOR Flash attached on the QSPI2 Interface.

U-Boot works well when booting with imx-usb-loader over USB and I am able to read and write the NOR Flash within u-Boot.

Then I setup Flash and Boot options to boot from QSPI, but the device is not booting.

Flash Content is:

-> sf probe; sf read 80800000 0 60000

SPI Conf. Parametr at 0x400:

Boot Pins: (Boot from QSPI2)

LCD1_DATA03 High

LCD1_DATA04 High

LCD1_DATA05 Low

LCD1_DATA06 Low

LCD1_DATA07 Low

I measured a activity on SPI Pins for 240us for reading 8 Blocks of 64 Bytes bofor switching to usb activating.

Can someone take a lock on the Flash Content. Also a working Flash Image of a similar IMX6SX Board would be helpful.

Hi,

Can you share the QuadSPI Configuration Parameters? I assume that you generated from an existing structure in C code or it was appended to the binary file in certain way.

That would help to understand the possible wrong QuadSPI configuration.

Alejandro

Hi Alejandro,

with help from Freescale, I am able now to read successful the SPI Configuration Parameter from Flash in 240us, then I notice now reading from flash for the 358us. No Message at the console.

I assume either Device Configuration or U-Boot are not correct configured.

I use U-Boot Version 2015.01 with a board specific patch.

For Flashing i use following script within U-boot:

setenv uimg 'boot/uboot.imx'

# clear memory,flash

setenv uclr 'mw.b ${loadaddr} 00 0x180000; sf probe; sf erase 0 180000'

# SPI Parameter 0x400..0x800

setenv uspi 'mw 8080041C 02000000; mw 80800420 3; mw 80800424 3; mw 80800428 08000000; mw 80800430 08000000; mw 80800440 1; mw 80800568 01000001; mw 808005fc C0FFEE01'

# Look up table

setenv ulps 'echo "lutps"; mw 80800468 0818040B; mw 8080046C 1C040C08; mw 80800470 00002400'

# Correct Decice Configuration 0x102c

setenv udcd 'mw 8080102C 410401d2; mw 808010e8 28000000; mw 808010F0 28000000; mw 80801108 28000000; mw 80801110 28000000; mw 80801130 28000000; mw 80801138 28000000; mw 80801168 42404040; mw 80801170 383C4040; mw 808011F0 00001882'

setenv uflash 'run uclr; dhcp 80801000 ${uimg}; run uspi; run ulps; run udcd; sf probe; sf write ${loadaddr} 0000 180000'

save

run uflash

Re: IMX6 SoloX: Unable to boot from QSPI NOR FLASH

Hello,

finally got it booting.

Booting U-Boot from QSPI-NOR Flash requires an other offset in Flash as booting from NAND Flash.

NAND-Flash: Uboot image at 0x400

SPI-NOR: QSPI-Configuration Parameter at 0x0400

Uboot image at 0x400

Due to the other offset I have to adjust the Boot Table:

My U-Boot-Image begins with:

The Boot Table Structure is at 0x20

U-Boot Relocation Address at 0x20: 877FF000

relocation length at 0x24: 00050000

I add 0xc00 to the 4-byte value at 0x20 -> 0x877FE400:

and correct the length with the size of uboot image + 0xc00

following script did it for me:

mw.b 80800000 00 60000

sf probe

sf erase 0 60000

dhcp 80800400 qspic.imx

dhcp 80801000 uboot.imx

mw 80801020 877FE400

mw 80801024 00050C00

sf write 80800000 0 60000

qspic.imx is the image of the QSPI Configuration Table (512Bytes)

I use a board specific paches for Uboot Version 2015.01.

Regards

Johannes
