How to build GoldVIP Bootloader image correctly

[PaulHu]

I followed the instructions of GoldVIP-S32G3-1.13.0 Bootloader User Manual generate Blob_image.bin and load to flash address 0x0 cannot boot up.

I have used EB tresos 27.1.0 generated Bootloader_Configuration.bin.

And run the command generated Bootloader.bin (463KB) then assign it in S32 Design Studio 3.5 IVT view's Application bootloader Image.

Turn out the Blob_image.bin only have 895KB, compare to boot-loader(1291KB) provided in GoldVIP example binaries/ it's quite small.

I tried using Hex view to compare Blob_image.bin and boot-loader.

DCD, QuadSPI Parameters, HSE and SYS-IMG Pointer content are same.

Only IVT image points to different addresses of SYS-IMG and Application bootloader, and Application bootloader content are different.

How did the example boot-loader image be generated?

Hi H Paul

I am Lina who had chatted with you this morning.

Per you request, you need to cancel the  Bootloader.bin file which you uploaded.

I have contacted our community admin , they have helped to deleted the file per your request.

Pls upload the new useful one to identify question as you mentioned in our chat if needed.

Pls kindly be advised.

Thank you and have a nice day.

HI @Joey_z :

I tried to follow the instructions in the document.

There're some questions in 5. Prepare images for Cortex-M7 cores.
I had already installed related packages, 
1. Inter_Platform_Communication_Framework_4_10_0
2. FreeRTOS_4_0_3_CD3
3. Real_Time_Drivers_5_0_0
Since my version is S32G3 and DS 3.5, should I install those in document?
Do you have documents and file for S32G3?

Later part of Chapter 5.1
I import examples from SW32G_IPCF_4.10.0_D2405\eclipse\plugins\Ipcf_TS_T40D11M410I0R0\examples\
But there's no mex file inside the project.

[Joey_z]

hi,

Thank you for your reply.

We don't have a direct article for S32G3, but the main process is the same when referring to AN13750 for S32G3. Please also note that the software version should refer more to Release Notes and use a compatible software version.

In addition, you can import example to refer as shown the following picture, then find the .mex file.

Hope it can help you.

Dear @Joey_z :

I have checked and fulfilled the software prerequisites version in GoldVIP 1.13.0 User-Manual.

I use SW32G_IPCF_4.10.0_D2405.exe to install IPCF.

But there's no mex file inside the examples.

Can you let me know how I can get the example you have?

[Joey_z]

hi,PaulHu

Thank you for your reply.

You should import SW32G_IPCF_4.10.0_DS_updatesite_D2405.zip to S32DS IDE, then you can find the examples.

Download the SW32G_IPCF_4.10.0_DS_updatesite_D2405.zip.

Dear @Joey_z :

I have download and install the SW32G_IPCF_4.10.0_DS_updatesite_D2405.zip in S32 IDE.
Also installed SW32G_RTD_4.4_5.0.0_D2410_DesignStudio_updatesite.zip and SW32G_FreeRTOS_11.1.0_4.0.3_CD3_D2410_DesignStudio_updatesite.zip.
After I import the example, there's some error I faced.
1. Issue: At least one feature configuration must be enabled when adding the Platform configuration.!
Origin: Peripherals:BOARD_InitPeripherals
Resource: Platform
=> This one I select "Platform Interrupt Controller Configuration" and error solved.
Is this the configuration I should select?

2. After solving the error in mex file describe in 1., I update code and tried to build project
But it came out with below error messages.
Did I missied something not installed?

../src/sample.c:22:10: fatal error: ipc-shm.h: No such file or directory
22 | #include "ipc-shm.h"

C:/NXP/S32DS.3.5/S32DS/software/PlatformSDK_S32XX_4_0_0/RTD/BaseNXP_TS_T40D11M50I0R0/include/Std_Types.h:50:10: fatal error: Platform_Types.h: No such file or directory

hi,PaulHu

Thank you for your reply.

Please note the Software version compatibility. Checked the compatibility between IPCF and RTD, found that the IPCF 4.10.0 is supported on RTD 4.0.2_P04.

Hope it can help you.

Dear @Joey_z :

I have tried to align my S32DS software version with IPCF example release note.
SW32G_RTD_4.4_4.0.2_P04_D2312_DS_updatesite.zip
SW32_FreeRTOS_10_4_6_UOS_4_0_2_DS_updatesite_D2307.zip

But still unavailable to build the example, with error
Platform_Types.h: No such file or directory
Std_Types.h: No such file or directory
ipc-shm.h: No such file or directory

hi，PaulHu

Thank you for your reply.

Do you have installed the 3.5.3 Development Package in the S32DS IDE as shown in the following picture.

In addition, could you check the S32DS version by selecting the "About S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform " as shown in the following picture.

Dear @Joey_z :
Yes, I do install the SW32_S32DS_3.5.3_D2306.zip, this is the install screen again.

Here's the screen of the About page

[PaulHu]

Dear @Joey_z :
I can see Std_Types.h: under RTD plugin & ipc-shm.h under IPCF plugin.
I have tried to re-install the plugin and update using the zip file.
But the project still can find the file.
Do you know how to solve this?

Another question like to ask is about RAM pointer.
How do we determine this to be point at?

Thanks

hi, PaulHu

Sorry for the reply late.

Please check if the IPCF project has the IPCF folder as shown in the following picture, and check if has the SDK as shown the following picture. The lost files come from here.

Refer to the Bootloader.map you can find the RAM pointer.

Hope it can help you.

Dear @Joey_z :
I change the RAM address to my Bootloader.map address.

And the Blob works fine now.

No need to build IPCF project.

Thanks for the helping.

Another question, can we change to Bootloader.map address?
