Interfacing 16-bit SDRAM on K65

anton_svensson — Thu, 30 Jun 2016 11:23:54 GMT

I'm having problems interfacing a 16-bit SDRAM on the k65.

The SDRAM being used is an MT48LC4M16

The SDRAM is connected as in the picture attached.

The problem I get is when I try to access the SDRAM, with an 32 bit access not with 16 or 8 bit, and writing the prechargeall command I get some sort of exception and landing at 0x10066958.

When accessing with 16/8 bit I won't get any information to the SDRAM, writing and reading all result in 0x0 in values.

Anyone had similar problems?

Best regards

Anton

Hi, Anton,

Can you refer to the documentation and code based on K65:

How to access SDRAM based on K65 SDRAM controller

Pls refer to the code, if you still have issue, pls update here.

Hi!

I've used that documentation and code as an example.

The weird behaviour I have at this point is that it seems that I can write to the lowest bit when accessing as a 16-bit device through the SDRAM controller. However it seems like I only can access one adress.

A write of 0xFFFF will result in a read of 0x1.

A write of 0xFF0 will result in read of 0x0.

If I try it as a 32-bit device in the controller, I can write to the lowest 16 bits, but still only on one adress as it seems.

A write of 0xFFFF will result in a read of 0xFFFF.

A write of 0x1234 will result in a read of 0x1234

Best regards

Hey,

i think you have a timing mismatch between the controller and the SD-RAM. This is not setting a CAS-Latency of two:

bP = (UINT8 *) (SDRAMADDR + 0x20);

Try 0x400 instead.

Hi Markus!

I tried you're idea and it didn't change anything.

When looking in the reference manual for the SDRAM I get that the CAS-latency is set on A6-A4, so 0x20 would refer to A5 and CAS = 2.

But I'm thankful for the tip!
