Using Mfg_tool to flash at QuadSPI1 interface

[BlueJay]

Hello,

I want to use the Mfg_tool (Rel. 1.0.1) to download an SW binary with a simply blinking LED into 4SPI flash device which is connected at 4SPI1 interface of Vybrid VF65xx but sofar all tryings are failed.

What should be set exactly in ucl2.xml to be able to do it ?

This was the last settings I tried with, but without any success:

	<LIST name="vybrid-qspi-led" desc="Boot Vybrid FW">
	<CMD state="BootStrap" type="boot" body="BootStrap" file="u-boot.imx">Loading U-boot</CMD>
	<CMD state="BootStrap" type="jump"> Jumping to OS image. </CMD>
	<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="qspiinit dev=0">Initializing QSPI</CMD>
	<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="pipeqspi addr=0x50000000" file="files/FNLD_A.bin">Sending and writing QSPI Led Sample</CMD>
	<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="$ !">Done</CMD>

    </LIST>

I would be very appreciated for any hints or answers, thank you in advance.

Hi Alejandro,

only two words: thumbs up ! :smileyhappy:

Just tested with our HW, the new u-boot works fine !

Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards,

Hi,

That is great news! Thanks for your patience.

Best Regards,

Hi Alejandro,

I have got one additional question:

Does the binary file lastly generated by you also support setting the Quad Enable Bit of flash device ?

Hi,

Is the same behavior for both qspi modules?

[BlueJay]

Hi Alejandro,

Do you mean 4SPI_0 and 4SPI_1 ?!

On our HW there is only 4SPI Interface 1 in usage.

Best regards,

Tai-Phan

[alejandrolozan1]

Yes. I meant that. I will test it.

[BlueJay]

Just tested for 4SPI_0 with Tower: same behaviour !

Binary with 9k OK, binary with 233k FAILED.

alejandrolozano do you have an update?

Hi,

I just got a vybrid auto evb board. Let me try to reproduce the problem today.

alejandrolozano please  help to continue with the follow up?

[alejandrolozan1]

Sure!, but I will need more time.

Can you give me time estimation when I can expect with an update of Mfg_tool since I need to communicate about this issue internally ?

[alejandrolozan1]

Hi Tai,

I have delved into this and this version of mfgtool supports only the TWR board which features a QSPI only in the QSPI0 module only.

It seems that just like you said a few changes need to be performed in the U-boot source code. On my side the only way to test it is with the auto board.

If you can, please try to first re-map the UART pins that conflict with the QSPI1 module. I will do that too and I will let you know how it goes.

Hi,

According to the ucl2.xml file the uboot image loaded by mfgtool performs this commands pipeqspi.

I wonder if you can try to execute this command booting uboot from SD. I mean try to flash the qspi using uboot and that command.

Please let me know the result.

Best Regards,

Alejandro

Hi Alejandro,

perhaps I misunderstand you, or there is a missunderstanding.

I never tried to boot uboot from SD.

As I described at my initial posting, I want to use the Mfg_tool (Rel. 1.0.1) to download a SW binary file with a simply blinking LED into 4SPI flash device which is connected at 4SPI1 interface of Vybrid VF65xx.

With following settings, Mfg_tool doesn´t hang anymore, performed with status "done" and green bar, BUT the flash content has been erased only (as I verified the content of flash device with JTag debugger), binary file was not loaded into 4SPI flash device.

HW:

BOOT_MODE[1:0] = 01 (serial downloader)

ucl2.xml:

	<LIST name="vybrid-qspi-led" desc="Boot Vybrid FW">
	<CMD state="BootStrap" type="boot" body="BootStrap" file="u-boot.vybrid">Loading U-boot</CMD>
	<CMD state="BootStrap" type="jump"> Jumping to OS image. </CMD>
	<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="qspiinit dev=1">Initializing QSPI</CMD>
	<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="pipeqspi addr=0x50000000" file="files/FNLD_A.bin">Sending and writing QSPI Led Sample</CMD>
	<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="$ !">Done</CMD>

    </LIST>

I want to ask gently if there is any new acknowledgement about this issue ?

Hi,

I am also getting the same issue while trying to flash Vybrid's QuadSPI.

I am using the "vybrid-qspi-led" profile for loading the binary image.

The MFG tool successfully executes the "BootStrap" commands but hangs while it tries to execute the first "Updater" command:

    <CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="qspiinit dev=0">Initializing QSPI</CMD>

Attached is the log fie generated by the tool.
