Hi!

I'm facing a problem when interfacing a SRAM to the LPC1825 (part of the schematic attached).

Here is my code:

void RA_InitEmc(u32 u32_Freq)

I'm testing the SRAM with this function:

u8 RA_TestRam(void)
{
u16 *pu16_RamPtr;
u32 i;
u32 u32_NbErreur;
u16 u16_Valeur;
u32_NbErreur = 0;
pu16_RamPtr = (u16 *)RAM_BASE_ADDRESS;

// efface la mémoire à 0
for(i=0; i<(RAM_TAILLE/2); i++)
{
*pu16_RamPtr = 0;
pu16_RamPtr++;
}
pu16_RamPtr = (u16 *)RAM_BASE_ADDRESS;
for(i=0; i<(RAM_TAILLE/2); i++)
{
*pu16_RamPtr = (u16)i;
pu16_RamPtr++;
}
// lecture des valeurs
pu16_RamPtr = (u16 *)RAM_BASE_ADDRESS;
for(i=0; i<(RAM_TAILLE/2); i++)
{
u16_Valeur = 0;
u16_Valeur = *pu16_RamPtr;
pu16_RamPtr++;
if(u16_Valeur != (u16)i)
{
  u32_NbErreur++;
}
}

// efface la mémoire à 0
pu16_RamPtr = (u16 *)RAM_BASE_ADDRESS;
for(i=0; i<(RAM_TAILLE/2); i++)
{
*pu16_RamPtr++ = 0;
}

if(u32_NbErreur)
return(1);
else
return(0);
}

The main problem is that if i look in the memory at 0x1d000000 (breakpoint on

Quote:
*pu16_RamPtr = (u16)i;

, i see that the LPC1825 write at two sector (picture attached).
I don't know why the LPC1825 write there... Any idea of what i'm missing?

Thanks.

In the code you've posted you select function 3 for P1_2, but EMC_A7 is function 2.
Could this be the problem?

The Hitex board with the LPC1857 has a 16-bit SRAM on board, so I will give it a try.

Sorry, i misunderstood your comment.
Indeed, in my schematics, i'm using CS0. Since it don't work, i also tried using CS1 (it is why in my source code there is 0x1D00 0000).
So, my schematics is not uptodate.

Nevermind, since it don't work (same result with CS1), i returned to CS0 (soft and hard).

Is there an evaluation kit incorporating a lpc1825 and a SRAM? This will allow me to test my software on a validated hardware and compare it with someone who have it ...

Hi,

I'm not using CS0, but CS1 (using 0x1D00 0000 as defined in UM10430 page 488 of 1264).

I have defined the space :

#define RAM_BASE_ADDRESS       0x1d000000
#define RAM_TAILLE             0x20000     // 128ko

And, in the project, see the attached pic.

You use CS0 and this is the address range starting at 0x1C00 0000.
What you see on 0x1D00 0000 are phantom values.

The schematic is fine, I also don't see a problem in the init code (only had a quick look).

Maybe the forum does not like the plus (+) in the upload filename?

Hi,

I don't know why it is not working. I just repost the schematic here, on the forum.
I also uploaded it here : schematic.

Does it work for you now?

Thanks.

Hi namorada,
I was unable to download schematic. Could you please post it again?
