ls1046ardb ddr calibration

[altu]

As a tutorial project,I try to launch and pass a DDR calibration using CodeWarrior tool on a ls1046ardb board.

I create a  QoriQ Configuration project->LS1046A->DDR Memory controller controller configuration.  SPD of the mta18adf2g72az-3g2r1 module is successfully read. After that I launch "Centering the clock test". 

First stage is successfully passed:

What can be a problem,assuming that the calibration is performing on a brand new,fully complected reference ls1046ardb board, not on a custom board.

[Oswalag]

Hello,

Can you please share screenshots of the issue? 

[altu]

I create a new DDR config project. Change SYSCLOCK to 100 Mhz.

After that I read SPD of the module. SPD is successfully read.

DQ mapping of the DDR as transribed by CodeWarrior:

After that I launch calibration. 1st stage is successfully passed:

Next stage(clock adjusting) is failed:

In log of the failed stage I have:

Firstly I thought that DQ mappings were wrong, but it seems to me that the mappings are OK - otherwise the 1st stage would fail too.  Any suggestion on this situation?

[Oswalag]

Is your board able to boot and print u-boot logs on the console with the pre-build image? can you also share the log please.

[altu]

Good day!

Continue with ls1046ardb failing DDR calibration.

Here's successfull uboot log:

And here's the log of linux start:

As one can see, normal boot of Uboot and Linux. I think it means, that everything is OK with hardware and DDR module, but DDR calibration process is still failing on the same steps as mentioned above.

[Oswalag]

The board boot as expected so the ddr is correctly calibrated, the issue could be related to a wrong configuration of the test when using the tool.

[altu]

Good day,Oswalag!

Please clarify what errros could be in test configuration?

Let me show what I'm doing:

My CodeWarrior version:

1) Firstly I create a DDR configuartion project and read SPD data from RDB board:

2) After successfull read of SPD I change default project sysclock from 66.7 to 100 Mhz

3) Here we can see the complete project settings:

 

4) Test settings:

5) After that I start tests:

1st test is successfully passed.

Next test(CLK_ADJ) is failed with next results:

So what can be the problem?

The problem is solved by using a CodeWarrior development studio for Windows. The Windows version works much better than spent piece of used jet trash for Linux.
