HSE firmware installation

[vikmonti7804]

Hi,

     I want to install the HSE firmware, but i am facing one error with the package given C:\NXP\S32K3_HSE_DemoExamples_1_0_0\S32K3_HSE_DemoExamples\Device_Configuration\S32K344_HSE_FW_INSTALL.

error

make: *** [makefile:38: S32K312_HSE_FW_INSTALL.elf] Error 1

Kindly let me know the solution.

is there any firmware available for s32k312 for HSE fw installation?

I got new board right now. Here's the result of my test:

I was able to successfully install the firmware using your project. I just uncommented checking of the HSE feature flag. That was the only change I did. 

After that, I could successfully erase the firmware using service HSE_SRV_ID_ERASE_FW.

I'm still not sure why it does not work on your side. Do you have more boards? Are all of them showing the same behavior?

Regards,

Lukas

#Hello@lukaszadrapa ,

Please help us we need your help. Our HSE firmware is flashed successfully, but the firmware is not starting after flashing.
The system gets stuck at the same point every time and does not continue execution.

I am not sure why this is happening.

I have a few doubts:

1. Before flashing the firmware, do we need to run any other project like the Key Catalog example or any prerequisite configuration?

2. Earlier, we had flashed HSE Firmware version 2.1, but now we changed the firmware to version 2.55.
   Could this version change cause the issue?

3. The SBUF version we are reading is 0x00500000.
   Is this expected for firmware version 2.55?

4. Do we need to make any specific changes in the HSE_FW_INSTALL application code when updating to the new firmware version?

5. we have API provided along with firmware where we need to use them ?

Please please guide us on what might be causing the firmware not to start.

Thank you

hello @lukaszadrapa

please help us our firmware code itself stucking at  i dont know why this is happening please help us 

firmware flshing i did and verified i dont know why my firmware is not initiating ..please help us 

Thank u

Hi Lucas,

       Which api you had used to erase the controller with HSE_SRV_ID_ERASE_FW?

Please provide the API .

[vikmonti7804]

I am trying to use FLASH_EraseBlock((uint32_t*)HSE_SRV_ID_ERASE_FW); but it goes into the hard fault.

Can you please explain the steps to erase the memory. 

Should i comment the import of the hse fw file in linker file befor applying this erase?

how it will be done, please explain.

[lukaszadrapa]

This is new feature and I didn't find API for that in RTD or in HSE DEMO examples. So, I used minimalist option and I simply triggered the service via MU in debugger. Here is the description of the service from API manual:

c:\NXP\HSE_FW_S32K312_0_2_40_0\docs\S32K312_HSE_Service_API_Reference_Manual.pdf

So, the service ID is 0x57 and no parameters are needed.

Just write 0x57 somewhere to RAM and then write address of this RAM word to Message Unit MU_0, register TR[1]. That's all. Then you will see the response in RR[1]. If the HSE FW was installed, you should get HSE_SRV_RSP_OK which is value 0x55A5AA33.

Here's how it looks in my debugger:

Hi @lukaszadrapa ,

I performed HSE FW erase as you mentioned, and it worked. However, I can not install it back. How to install HSE FW again?

Best regards,

Yetkin

Hi Lucas,

         I dont have debugger PE micro. Does this trace32 power view works with PE micro?

How to trigger the service via MU in debugger with PE micro and s32DS? is there any example code?

How can i erase the controller with S32DS? Is there any example code or should i use the API FLASH_EraseBlock(dst); ?

[vikmonti7804]

HI Lucas,

          I tried with different board with same firmware project what you shared but the result is same as earlier. Last bit of the HSE GPR register is not getting set.

Can you please try with PE Micro debugger and try to find the root cause of the problem.

We dont have lauterbach debugger here.

i am sharing the picture of the memory with different board.

[lukaszadrapa]

I used another brand new board for my test and I used exactly the same project I sent you earlier. I loaded the project by S32DS via in-built Pemicro OpenSDA interface, run the project, power cycled the board 2x and then I can see that the bit in HSE GPR is set and FW is installed.

Once the HSE FW is installed, it's necessary to change the flash algorithm in Pemicro settings:

That's because some parts of flash are allocated for HSE when the HSE feature flag is enabled or when AB swap FW is installed. Pemicro needs to be informed about this.

[vikmonti7804]

Hi Lucas,

           Thanks for your reply,

Can you please share your .elf file.

Why you power cycled the board 2 time, is it mandatory to reset is 2 time or power on 2 times?

what was the setting during flash, is it ab_sawp.arp or hse_enabled.arp in the advance setting? ?

[lukaszadrapa]

There's elf file in the project I already shared:
https://community.nxp.com/pwmxy87654/attachments/pwmxy87654/S32K/32120/1/HSE_Install_FW.zip

I compared the elf with my current project which I tested today and it's identical, no changes.

I had brand new chip, so I used default hse_disabled version. If HSE feature flash is already enabled but HSE FW is not installed yet, you should use hse_enabled. And once AB swap is installed, you should use ab_swap. But I don't think this could be wrong because Pemicro should show some error if it can't erase or program the flash. Even if you use hse_disabled when HSE feature flag is programmed, it will probably still work.

To install the firmware also to passive block, two resets are needed (or two power cycles, it doesn't matter):

Or you can create  video for the debug settings and debugging the firmware and then share with me.

[vikmonti7804]

Hi Lucas , i tried but its same.

Can we connect for a call hardly 10 minutes if possible? please let me know so i will share the invite.

[lukaszadrapa]

I'm running out of time today but tomorrow morning should be ok. I will let you know early in the morning when I'm available.

[vikmonti7804]

HI Lucas , when can we connect, please provide time and link to connect.

[vikmonti7804]

Dis you used the project which i shared with you?

Kindly share your main program with me.

[vikmonti7804]

I tried the firmware with the condition on the feature flag  but again the hse gpr resgiter is not getting updated.

[vikmonti7804]

Please debug it and check why hse gpr register bit is not getting set and installation is  not completing by sbaf.

Hi,

   Actually i have created a project for s32k312  but when i am running it in debug mde i see it directly jumping to default hander not going into main, can you please help with this issue, why this is happening.

i see the binary is place in flash but utest is not enabled due to not going into main.

kindly help.

[vikmonti7804]

Hi ,

 The HSE firmware package foe the S32K312 is only having the bin files and some interface and host files for the creation of the project. It is not the complete project like HSE demo example for s32k344.

I am also facing the issue to flash this binary of HSE firmware with the eval board debugger as well as PE micro debugger because it supports only .elf and hex file. kindly help me to flash the binary to the eval board.
