BSC9132 IFC NOR WARNING

[zengchanglong]

hello :
when we use BSC9132 connect with PC28F512M29EWHD(MICORN NOR FLASH) though IFC,we find when we in jffs2 filesystern copy or remove some big file it come out a warning "erase at 0xxxxxx faild immediately",we try to some to avoid it,but it always come on.

you can help me?thank you!!!

hi all:

     Anybody have the same problem!!!who can help me?

     I have tried everything I can think of but my system still occasionally spits out error messages like: Erase at 0x01cc0000 failed immediately: errno -5

Hello zeng changlong,

Please refine "NOR Flash Timing Params" in u-boot header file include/configs/BSC9132QDS.h.

The following is for your reference.

FTIM0

TACSE :

max{(tAA – tCE – tAAVDH – tEADC), (tOEH – (tCE - tOE) – tAAVDH - tEADC), (tRC – tCE – tAAVDH – tEADC), (tCEH – tAAVDH - tEADC), (tAS – tCS – tAAVDH - tEADC), (tGHEL – tAAVDH - tEADC), (tGHWL – tCS – tAAVDH - tEADC)}

tEADC = max {tAVDP, tAAVDS}

tEAHC = tAAVDH or tAH

FTIM1

tACO = (tCE – tOE)

tRAD_NOR = (tOE + Pad Delay)

tSEQRAD_NOR =  (tPACC + delta time)

FTIM2

tCS = tCS

tCH = max{tCH, tDH, (tAH – tWP)}

tWPH = max {tWPH, (tWC – tWP)}

tWP = {1, tWP, tDS, (tWC – tWPH)}

Please refine your calculation according to your NOR Flash data sheet.

Have a great day,
Yiping

hello Yiping,

       I have follow you advice,to refine "NOR Flash Timing Params" in u-boot header file include/configs/BSC9132QDS.h and my NOR Flash data sheet.set the FTIM0,FTIM1,FTIM2 as below:

#define CONFIG_SYS_NOR_FTIM0 (FTIM0_NOR_TACSE(0x01) \

    | FTIM0_NOR_TEADC(0x03) \

    | FTIM0_NOR_TAVDS(0x00) \

    | FTIM0_NOR_TEAHC(0x0f))

#define CONFIG_SYS_NOR_FTIM1 (FTIM1_NOR_TACO(0x1d) \

    | FTIM1_NOR_TRAD_NOR(0x09) \

    | FTIM1_NOR_TSEQRAD_NOR(0x09))

#define CONFIG_SYS_NOR_FTIM2 (FTIM2_NOR_TCS(0x1) \

    | FTIM2_NOR_TCH(0x4) \

    | FTIM2_NOR_TWPH(0x7) \

    | FTIM2_NOR_TWP(0x1e))

   but there also have the error "Erase at 0x034c0000 failed immediately: errno -5" when I try to copy or remove some file.I want to know the above configuration whether correct.

Have a great day,

Hello changlong zeng,

Please check whether "Erase at 0x034c0000" could be executed in u-boot successfully, and write a big file to Flash in u-boot and read it back then use cmp.b command to do comparison.

If this problem exists in u-boot, please send your DDR datasheet to me.

Have a great day,
Yiping

hello Yiping,

         The error addr is random,the uboot is good,the error only appear in filesystem.

Have a great day,

Hello changlong,

Which version Linux SDK do you use?

Which command do you use or how do you generate the jffs2 filesystem?

Would you please provide your Linux console log containing your test steps?  I will try to reproduce your problem on my target.

Have a great day,
Yiping

Hello Yiping,
I'm sorry it's to late return your mail.

My SDK version is "913x_WUSDK_REL_1.4",I get it from freescale support.

My command when generate the jffs2 filesystem is "mkfs.jffs2 -r ./psc9132_jffs2/ -o psc9132_jffs2.jffs2 -e 0x10000 -b -n",I have try to add the flag "-s" with eth command of mkfs.jffs2,but I can't find the pagesize in eth flash datasheet.

The Linux console log is:
