SDRAM and NOR Flash Sample / Reference code for Understanding the functionality

[gauravmore]

 Hi Jeremy, 

I am using LPC4367 controller with MCU Xpresso 10.3.0_2200. I am using SDRAM and NOR Flash interface in one of our projects. I was working with Evaluation board OM13088 but it that board no SDRAM and NOR flash interface is avialable.  I am using SDRAM and NOR flash both interfaced with EMC lines aviable in LPC4367 controller.

I refered the code in e lpcopen_3_02_lpcxpresso_mcb4357 and also refered periph_memtest and misc_spifi_tst demos. But there is no EMC init routine avialable. Is there any sample code or a reference code for SDRAM with proper intitiatilization routine.

Also I want to allocate one of my Buffer to SDRAM address, I got the information related to it in MCU expresso User guie but still I want to know that as we use 

__at(Address) attribute in Keil to allocate the array or a buffer like

uint16_t Buffer[1024]                     __at(0x28000000) 

In the similar way, how we can use it in MCU Expresso . To conclude I want the sample or a reference code for SDRAM and NOR flash with proper EMC init routine which is not avaialable in the existing reference code

I need this since i want to test my development board which is ready. So please consider it on higher priority. Mean while i am trying to refere other forums as well for my understanding.

Thanks

Hi Gaurav More,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products and for the opportunity to serve you.
As I mentioned before, the lpcopen_3_02_lpcxpresso_mcb4357 has provided the sample code for the SDRAM and Nor Flash interface, they're the periph_memtest and misc_spifi_tst demos (Fig 1).

                                      Fig 1

During the startup process,  MCU will execute the Board_SystemInit() (In the board_sysinit.c )prior to jumping to the main().

Fig 2

In the Board_SystemInit(), the Board_SetupExtMemory() will initialize the EMC module to manipulate the SDRAM.
The thread (Placing data into different RAM blocks )demonstrates how to place data into different RAM blocks.

Have a great day,
TIC
