Cannot boot T4250 QDS board.

[colindavidson]

Hello everyone, I have just started working on a T4240 QDS board. At first it wasn't giving me either a Yocto linux or UBoot command line, so I set the DIP switches to the "default" position in the quick-start guide, forgetting to save the original settings. Now I have the board failing in the U-boot sequence immediately after detecting the DDR3 ram ("Waiting for D_INIT timeout. Memory may not work."). Any suggestions for which settings to change?

Hello,

Please provide the U-Boot booting log.

What are all on-board inscriptions and markings?

Do you have set the configuration switches as follows?

SW1= 0x24     SW2= 0xfe    SW3= 0x00 SW4= 0x50    SW9= 0x1f

    SW5= 0xe2     SW6= 0x0f    SW7= 0xfa     SW8= 0xcd

Currently my settings are:

sw1: 0x24  sw2: 0xFF   sw3: 0x18  sw4: 0x50  sw5: 0xE2  sw6: 0x0F  sw7: 0xFA  sw8: 0xCF  sw9: 0x1F

With these settings, I get this at boot on the serial console:

With the default settings from the quick start guide (the ones you give), I get no serial output at boot.

Correction, I was looking at the DCM, which of course, being disabled, gave no output...

Booting with the default settings (SW1= 0x24     SW2= 0xfe    SW3= 0x00 SW4= 0x50    SW9= 0x1f     SW5= 0xe2     SW6= 0x0f    SW7= 0xfa     SW8= 0xcd)

Please try to change in the default settings only SW1 to 0x17 - to get RCW from NOR Flash.

[colindavidson]

Thanks, that did the trick.

Please try using rcw + uboot for latest Freescale SDK, which is SDK 1.8.

Hi Adrian,

I don't see how I can try your suggestion (assuming I understand it). Won't I need to boot to a prompt to be able to load this RCW and uboot? My problem is I can't boot the board in the first place. I'm probably not understanding you - can you tell me how to do this or point me at a manual that explains it?

Thanks,

Colin

You could use CodeWarrior to flash images to NOR, even the board is not booting. But, seems Fedor ask your question and your board is up and running.

I will check when I get home, where the system is. Unfortunately I'm on the road Today.
