local memory Map for MPC8358E processor

venkat1 — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 05:40:54 GMT

Hi Folks

We are using MPC8358E processor and we configured the local memory as shown in the fig.. mainly we are struggling with DDR interface. so please confirm this memory mapping.

is this DDR memory mapping is right?

Regards,

Venkat

Proposed memory map is incorrect.

Please read the MPC8360E PowerQUICC II Pro Integrated Communications Processor Family Reference Manual, 5.2 Local Memory Map Overview and Example

Thank you for replying,

As per MPC8360E PowerQUICC II Pro Integrated Communications Processor Family Reference Manual says, we can put boot flash on All zeros address or 0xFF80_0000 address. can you please elaborate more on this?. so that, my memory mapping is incorrect...

Regards,

Venkat

I am not able to access DDR memory. and DDR doesn't responding to the configured address.

There are two possibilities:

1) DDR SDRAM connection is incorrect

2) DDR controller initialization settings are incorrect.

There is no doubt in DDR SDRAM hardware part.

I am not sure about DDR controller initialization settings..

@ufedor are u there?

Please provide:

1) DDR SDRAM connection schematics as searchable PDF

2) what is measured frequency of the MCK?

Re: local memory Map for MPC8358E processor

MCK frequency is 133MHZ

sir,

can we control DDR operating frequecy(MCK)? if it is yes! How?

Please refer to the MPC8360E PowerQUICC II Pro Integrated Communications Processor Family Reference Manual, 4.4.3 System Clock Domains:

"The internal ddr_clk frequency (for DDR) is determined by RCWL[DDRCM]. Note that the lb_clk clock
frequency (for Secondary DDR) is determined by RCWL[LBCM]. See Section 4.3.2.1, “Reset
Configuration Word Low Register (RCWLR).” Note that ddr_clk is not the external memory bus
frequency; ddr_clk passes through the DDR clock divider (÷2) to create the differential DDR memory bus
clock outputs (MCK and MCK). However, the data rate is the same frequency as ddr_clk."
