BusFault at 0x4004B020 on FS32K144W

[ArkAndyFraser]

So, this is a similar issue as I have seen before which appeared to be down to a poorly soldered crystal. However, this board does not use an external crystal and the clock has been set to use FIRC.

I have configured all my clocks, peripherals and pins and then initialise them in a function. 

	//
	// Setup the clocks.
	//
	CLOCK_SYS_Init(g_clockManConfigsArr, CLOCK_MANAGER_CONFIG_CNT, g_clockManCallbacksArr, CLOCK_MANAGER_CALLBACK_CNT);
	CLOCK_SYS_UpdateConfiguration(0U, CLOCK_MANAGER_POLICY_AGREEMENT);

	//
	// Setup the I/O pins.
	//
	PINS_DRV_Init(NUM_OF_CONFIGURED_PINS0, g_pin_mux_InitConfigArr0);

	//
	// Setup the UART.
	//
	LPUART_DRV_Init(lpUartInstance, lpUartState, lpUartInitConfig);
	LPUART_DRV_InstallRxCallback(lpUartInstance, rxCallback, NULL);

As soon as the code calls the PINS_DRV_Init, the processor crashes with a bus fault.

NUM_OF_CONFIGURED_PINS0 holds 8 and g_pin_mux_InitConfigArr0 looks like:

        .gpioBase        = NULL,
        .digitalFilter   = false,
    },
};

If I step through the code with the debugger, it gets to:

    for (i = 0U; i < pinCount; i++)
    {
        PINS_Init(&config[i]);
    }

And on the first iteration of the above loop it crashes in here:

void PINS_Init(const pin_settings_config_t * config)
{
    DEV_ASSERT(config->base != NULL);
    DEV_ASSERT((PORT_MUX_AS_GPIO != config->mux) || (config->gpioBase != NULL));
    DEV_ASSERT(config->pinPortIdx < PORT_PCR_COUNT);
    uint32_t regValue = config->base->PCR[config->pinPortIdx];
    uint32_t directions;
    uint32_t digitalFilters;
    port_mux_t muxing;

On the line 

uint32_t regValue = config->base->PCR[config->pinPortIdx];

config->base holds 0x40049000 which I think is correct for port A and pinPortIdx holds 0.

Can anyone please help ?

Hi Andy,

It seems that the clock gate of PORTA is not enabled, so accessing the register of PORTA will cause fault.

Please call CLOCK_DRV_Init(&clockMan1_InitConfig0); instead of call CLOCK_SYS_Init(g_clockManConfigsArr, CLOCK_MANAGER_CONFIG_CNT, g_clockManCallbacksArr, CLOCK_MANAGER_CALLBACK_CNT);
CLOCK_SYS_UpdateConfiguration(0U, CLOCK_MANAGER_POLICY_FORCIBLE); 

Best Regards,
Robin

Robin, thank you for your help.

Unfortunately, it now crashes while setting up the clock.

The stack trace looks like:

I get a "Possible BusFault location: 0x690B3A11" with the call to:

CLOCK_SYS_UpdateConfiguration(0U, CLOCK_MANAGER_POLICY_FORCIBLE);

Interestingly, in another project I have, I use CLOCK_SYS_Init and it works fine.

I actually love the way S32DS allows you to configure the peripherals and I/O and generate all the code for you however, it would be nice if it generated a file which did all this initialisation for us.

[Robin_Shen]

When you call CLOCK_DRV_Init, you don't need to callCLOCK_SYS_Init and CLOCK_SYS_UpdateConfiguration anymore.

[ArkAndyFraser]

@Robin_Shen Thanks

Hi

I try to disable crystal and SPLL of lpuart_s32k144w and select FIRC as clock source of LPUART. It will not enter fault.

[ArkAndyFraser]

@Robin_Shen Many thanks, this is now working

Okay, I was too quick to say it is fixed

I added a simple line to my main function and rebuilt and it is crashing setting up the oscillators again.

The line I added was:

LPUART_DRV_SendDataBlocking(lpUartInstance, (uint8_t *)oneSecondMsg, strlen(oneSecondMsg), TIMEOUT);

But it does not even get there as it fails right at the start of my code when I initialise the clock and peripherals. This is really, really frustrating.

[ArkAndyFraser]

Here is my clock configuration:

And pins:

And peripherals:

[ArkAndyFraser]

Interestingly, sometimes when I single step, it gets through CLOCK_SYS_UpdateConfiguration(0U, CLOCK_MANAGER_POLICY_FORCIBLE) fine but then crashes as per the original way when PINS_DRV_Init(NUM_OF_CONFIGURED_PINS0, g_pin_mux_InitConfigArr0) is called !

[ArkAndyFraser]

Okay, so I have come back to the FS32K144 processor again and created a new project and I am again seeing a crash when initializing the I/O ports.

I have ensured that the SPLL and crystal clock paths are disabled and ensured the UARTS use the FIRC clock.

I have tried initializing the clock with:

    CLOCK_SYS_Init( g_clockManConfigsArr, CLOCK_MANAGER_CONFIG_CNT, g_clockManCallbacksArr, CLOCK_MANAGER_CALLBACK_CNT );
    CLOCK_SYS_UpdateConfiguration( 0U, CLOCK_MANAGER_POLICY_AGREEMENT );

 and with:

CLOCK_DRV_Init( &clockMan1_InitConfig0 );

but the code is still crashing in:

PINS_DRV_Init( NUM_OF_CONFIGURED_PINS0, g_pin_mux_InitConfigArr0 );

with a Possible BusFault location: 0x40049000. 

If I comment out the above pin initialization code and go on to initialize the UART with:

LPUART_DRV_Init( lpUSBUartInstance, lpUSBUartState, lpUSBUartInitConfig );

I get: An imprecise (asynchronous) data access error has occurred. 

My clock configuration is:

I could really use some help getting to the bottom of this as I am on a tight deadline to get a project shipped.

https://community.nxp.com/t5/S32-SDK/SDK-problem-in-S32-Design-Studio-for-ARM-2-2/m-p/986190 Here you can find some information between CLOCK_DRV_Init and CLOCK_SYS_Init.

What's the version of S32K1xx SDK are you using? Please refer to the CLOCK_DRV_Init usage in hello_world_s32k144 of S32K1xx SDK RTM v4.0.3 Example Projects.

[ArkAndyFraser]

@Robin_Shen I am using SDK version 4.0.3.

I compared my configuration with a previous project that was working and noticed that I had set a flash clock divider of 4 to set the flash clock to 12MHz - in this current project is was a divisor of 2 (24MHz). Now that I have dropped the flash clock to 12MHz, it seems to be working.

Does this make sense? Is 24MHz too high for the flash memory?
