P1020RDB NOR FLASH PROGRAMMING

[Nuevo]

Hi

I am trying to Re-Flash the NOR-FLASH...... using the codewarrior 10.3.3 and i have followed the following steps

Window > Show View > Other--->Debug-->Target Task-->ok

then imported the P1020RDB_NOR FLASH.xml file

I didnt change the s29gl128p base address

then I added the the vsc2bin file using Add program/verify action from add action. Here i selected the Erase sectors  before program and verify after program --> then i set the address offset value as FF7FE000,---> add program action

then I added the the u-boot_nor.bin file using Add program/verify action from add action. Here i selected the Erase sectors  before program and verify after program --> then i set the address offset value as FFF80000,---> add program action

then i excute it

fl::target -lc "FLASH-core00_RAM_P1020_Download"

fl::target -b 0x2000 0x30000

fl::target -v on -l off

But our board is not bring-up some junk data is show in flash.....

Please can u help me how to solve this problem......

[yipingwang]

P1020RDB-PC default setting should be

SW2 OFF ON ON ON ON ON ON ON

SW3 ON  ON  OFF ON OFF ON ON OFF

Please note that the latest SDK 1.4 is used for P1020RDB-PD.

[Nuevo]

our board sdk is 1.01

Default switch setting is

SW2  ON   ON  OFF ON  OFF  ON  ON   OFF

SW3  OFF ON  ON   ON  ON    ON  OFF  ON

[addiyi]

Using your u-boot.bin and default SW settings from SDK1.4, I was able to see u-boot console in terminal. Please try the SW settings provided by yipingwang.

Hi

We need to enable the debugger pic setting  their we need to give alternate load address 0xfff000000,,,,

[addiyi]

You can set PIC load address in 2 mode:

- from Debug Configuration, select the configuration you are using, go to Debugger tab, go to PIC tab and set Alternate Load Address, Apply, then Debug

- while you are in debug mode, open Debugger Shell and use the command: setpicloadaddr 0xXXXX_XXXX

Hi

our board bring up document tell's that the NOR FLASH base address is 0XEF000000 but in cw NOR FLASH base address is 0xff000000,,,,,,,,,,, which is wrong which is right,,,, I am unable to understand the base address of the nor, could u please tell why it is starting from 0xff instead of 0xef.............

[addiyi]

Both address are correct. Marius explained in detail how u-boot map NOR flash and why in CodeWarrior we decided to use 0xFF00_0000 as base address from NOR flash. Please refer to thread https://community.freescale.com/message/366716?et=watches.email.thread#366716

Hi

As our Board-Bring-up document show that NOR FLASH MEMORY MAPPED ADREESSS is show below, But as per the codewarrior development tool, we have to start the base address 0XFF000000,,,, Can u tell me why

We have start from this base address , and why we cont start from oxEF000000 this base address,,,,,,,,,,,, could u please give the resone…………

Hi,

Please provide more information about:

- u-boot is from SDK 1.4?

- switches on board are set for NOR boot, did you see something in terminal?

- did you try a Dump Flash action from Flash Programmer, to check if NOR has been written correctly?

Adrian

----  > SDK 1.01

---> switch setting is proper

---> nor flash have been corrupted so we are trying to Re-flash it from the codewarrior tool..............

[addiyi]

The steps performed are correct. As you can see from the log Program with Verify Command Succeeded for both binary files. Additional, you can check using Dump Flash action (Dump region 0xFF7E0000 to 0xFF7FFFFF for first file and 0xFFF80000 to 0xFFFFFFFF for u-boot.bin) if the programming of the flash succeeded.

Hi

I have attached the nor flash u-boot.bin and vsc2bin file........ can u go

through these two file

[addiyi]

Hi,

I was able to program your u-boot on a P1020RDB board. Attached you can find some screen shots with steps that I have followed.

Switches on my board: SW2: OFF ON ON ON ON ON OFF ON; SW3: ON ON OFF ON OFF ON ON OFF

Hi

what is the run configuration

[addiyi]

Run configuration that I used is Attach

Init file: P1020RDB_init_core.tcl and mem file: P1020RDB.mem

Adrian

[Nuevo]

Hi

I used run configuration same has u used......... it got programmed successfully ......... and also got same memory view how u got.......... still board is not

bring up........... can u tell me what will be the problem..... how can i solve it.

[Nuevo]

i used run configuration as NOR-FLASH-core00_RAM_P1020_Download  i also got the same what u got from memory view.... but still my board is not bring up.... unable to fix what is the problem

[addiyi]

OK, that's a good step. Now, if the switches on the board are correct setup and the serial cable is connected between pc and target board (baud rate for terminal set to 115200, correct serial cable, correct UART port - UART0), u-boot should be displayed on terminal.

Hi

serial cable is connected between pc and target board is proper...i used 115200 baud rate only......
