MCF54415 boot from NorFlash failed

[changliu1]

We are using MCF54415 with BDM mode.

The mcf54415 boot from  a 4M_8bits_NorFlash.

I have modified the *.lcf to make almost all  .code segment ,.data segment and .bss segment  in ROM mode as the same as in RAM mode.

In ROM mode , the board can startup OK, copy all codes / data to the right address and clear the .bss segment.

Now all my codes are running OK in RAM mode, but when in ROM mode , the board failed.

In ROM mode, a task of CAN communication timed out. In RAM mode , use the same codes, the CAN task will not time out.  

I want to know why the same code running  different results in RAM and ROM mode.

Hi,

Do you interface the NOR flash with the Flexbus? The booting process from FlexBus should be automatic depending on the BOOTMOD[1:0] pins. When they are 0:0, it boots from flexbus with default configuration, but with this configuration, the port size is 8bit. Therefore you need to configure the BOOTMOD[1:0] = 01. And use the FB:AD[7:0] pins to configure the boot configurations.
