Unable to boot from QSPI flash 0 in LS1046ARDB development board

Hemanth_mp · ‎08-31-2021

Hi

We are using LS1046RDB board for our project. For booting up and understanding different boot configuration we are following LSDKUG_Rev20.12.pdf document and for the console using RJ45 connector as UART1 port

Now we are trying to bootup board from different boot option. We were able to boot up from QSPI flash1 ( bank 04) and SD card.

But when we are tried to boot from QSPI flash 0 it's not working and still booting from flash 1 only

the switch configurations currently we are using are

SW3 [1-8]: 01001110

SW4 [1-8]: 00101011

SW5 [1-8]: 00100010

when we change SW3[3:5] to 000 board is not showing any data in console

From the u-boot command prompt tried to change boot option by using

=> cpld reset

to switch to NOR bank 0 but it still booting in bank 4 only

at the same time

=>cpld reset altbank

=>cpld reset sd

works fine on switching boot options from QSPI 1 and SD card

So, Then we tried to recover NOR flash 0 from NOR flash 1 by following the steps

=> tftp $load_addr firmware_ls1046ardb_uboot_qspiboot.img

=> sf probe 0:1

=> sf erase 0 +$filesize && sf write $load_addr 0 $filesize

=> cpld reset

But after this operation also it got booted up from QSPI NOR flash 1 only

NOTE: To Check whether the erase is working fine we had tried to erase a memory block and read its value

=> sf probe 0:1

=> sf erase 0x00 +0x100

=> md.w $load_addr 100

but when we read memory, we got the output as

a0000000: beef dead beef dead beef dead beef dead ................

( complete log attached below)

Please let us know what went wrong, any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hello,

We have a very similar problem to @Hemanth_mp, in that when we do the erase, then read back, it doesn't look like the erase happened. Ultimately, we want to re-program the RCW (as the flash 0 (bank 0) is corrupt and won't boot), but if the erase doesn't work, the write isn't going to either.

I've attached our log below. To give it some context, we have set SW3 to 'swapped' (i.e. 001), so the board is booting from QSPI flash 1 (bank 4), then we do the probe to select flash 0 (bank 0).

So, any suggestions as to why the erase does not set all bytes to 0?
