How to flash NOR on P1014 Custom board?

George_zheng — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 08:22:16 GMT

I refer "https://www.nxp.com/video/how-to-set-up-codewarrior-pa10:HOW-TO-RUN-CODEWARRIOR-PA10" to do NOR flash.
I select JS28F256M29EWL device, but our NOR is JS28F256M29EWH, It's should be no problem.

While trying to program the NOR flash using PA Flash Programmer Task,
we are getting following errors in CodeWarrior console for 'Diagnostics','Checksume', 'program/verify' actions:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone suggest what might be the reason we are unable to do NOR flash actions?

You didn't specify the correct "Base Address" for the NOR flash Device.

According to CodeWarrior initialization file C:\Freescale\CW_PA_v10.5.1\PA\PA_Support\Initialization_Files\QorIQ_P1\P1014RDB-PB_init_sram.tcl, the effective address for NOR flash should be 0xFE000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF.

In the "PA Flash Programmer Task" panel, after add device JS28F256M29EWL, please modify the "Base Address“ as "0xFE000000".

I test a file to flash at 0xFE1F0000 but it's failed.
It fails to burn a small file, but I have to burn a uboot.

another question, Where should uboot be burned at address?

Thanks.

According to your previous description your NOR flash is "JS28F256M29EWH", why did you use device "MX29GL256EH" in your flash programming procedure?

You need to program u-boot at fff40000.

Re: How to flash NOR on P1014 Custom board?

George_zheng — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 07:48:58 GMT

I change another custom board to test which just nor flash different.

Following while running 'earse' action was success but I check nor flash not earse, still can boot.

and 'program' action still fail.

Do you have any suggestion or debug method?

Re: How to flash NOR on P1014 Custom board?

yipingwang — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 08:40:22 GMT

MX29GL256EH should be 16bit device, why do you use the organization "32Mx8x1" in your flash programmer?

Please refer to section "110. Troubleshooting the Flash Programmer" in document C:\Freescale\CW_PA_v10.5.1\PA\PA_Tools\FlashToolKit\Documentation\AppNote-FlashProgrammer-PowerArchitecture.pdf to check whether it is possible to do flash erase in the debug shell console.

Re: How to flash NOR on P1014 Custom board?

George_zheng — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 08:47:54 GMT

Our custom board was using 8bit nor flash, so I add 32Mx8x1 in MX29GL256EH to test.

I test JS28F256M29EWL also get the same error.

I try to execte the Unprotection task, but still fail.

Hi YiPing,

I find ticket as below, it was similar question on p1010rdb board.

https://community.nxp.com/t5/CodeWarrior-Development-Tools/p1010-norflash-use-codewarrior-program/m-p/703537

Does it have issue in int_core.tcl or not?

Re: How to flash NOR on P1014 Custom board?

yipingwang — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 10:11:09 GMT

You need to modify "IFC controller timing configuration section " in C:\Freescale\CW_PA_v10.5.1\PA\PA_Support\Initialization_Files\QorIQ_P1\P1014RDB_init_sram.tcl according to your NOR flash datasheet, you could refer to P1010 reference manual.

#FTIM0_CS1
mem [CCSR 0x1E1F0] = 0x40050005
#FTIM1_CS1
mem [CCSR 0x1E1F4] = 0x1e000f00
#FTIM2_CS1
mem [CCSR 0x1E1F8] = 0x0410001c
#FTIM3_CS1
mem [CCSR 0x1E1FC] = 0x00000000

Re: How to flash NOR on P1014 Custom board?

George_zheng — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 08:41:27 GMT

I Check S29GL256P data sheet, the timing was same with MX29GL256EH.

so I think the value should not need adjustment.

I refer to section "110. Troubleshooting the Flash Programmer" in AppNote-FlashProgrammer-PowerArchitecture.pdf

to create check_flash.tcl and the content as below

----------------------------------------

# Set device to Read state
change p:fe000000 f0 8bit
# Get Mfg and Device ID values
change p:fe000555 aa 8bit
change p:fe0002aa 55 8bit
change p:fe000555 90 8bit
# Display Mfg ID value at offset
0# Display Dev ID value at offset 1
display p:fe000000..fe000002 8bit
# Reset device to Read state
change p:fe000000 f0 8bit

----------------------------------------

After connected the board I using source command in CSS console.

The console show as below, how to run the tcl?

(bin) 5 % source testid.tcl
invalid command name "change"

Re: How to flash NOR on P1014 Custom board?

Please open debug shell console in CodeWarrior IDE from Window->Show View->Other->Debug->Debug shell, then type the following commands in the debug shell console.

Hi YiPing,

I still can not falsh image to NOR flash(flash timeout), but the earse action was success.

We using 8bit NOR flash, and check P1014RDB-PB_init_sram.tcl

Is there have problem with the code as below?

Re: How to flash NOR on P1014 Custom board?

George_zheng — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 08:32:01 GMT

Hi YiPing,

I using the same project and test 2 different custom board(just NOR flash different)

Refer to section "110. Troubleshooting the Flash Programmer" in AppNote-FlashProgrammer-PowerArchitecture.pdf and get the same manufacturer ID and device ID as below

cmdwin::display p:fe000000..fe000002 8bit
fe000000 0x42 0xFB 0x50 B . P

But the NOR flash was different but get the same ID.

Where is the problem?

Re: How to flash NOR on P1014 Custom board?

yipingwang — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 09:05:25 GMT

manufacturerid of MX29GL256EH is 0xC2

manufacturerid of JS28F256M29EWL is 0x89

It seems that the result is not correct for any NOR flash.

Probably there is hardware problem with NOR read/write operation on your custom board, you could ask the hardware team to assist you to check the hardware design.
