Background : Some customer want to test the LPDDR4/X ECC feature based on the i.MX93 chip, But, for now, Our DDR Config Tool do not release this test chosen. And our ECC guide only tell the ECC feature function, does not tell the customer how to test it. So in this article, Will show you more details about ECC feature and how to run the ECC test use uboot command. But I won't put the source code of the test here, You can download the binary run the test on the i.MX93 EVK board. HW : i.MX93 EVK board with 2GB LPDDR4 SW : 6.1.1-1.0.0 ECC Introduce what is ECC? ECC is the abbreviation of Error Correction Code. Its function is to automatically detect and repair some minor errors in the memory to prevent data errors. How does ECC work? We can think of it as an "automatic proofreader", and its workflow is roughly as follows: When writing data: The memory controller generates a "check code" (similar to the fingerprint of the data) for each piece of data. This check code will be stored together with the data. When reading data: The memory controller will recalculate the "fingerprint". Then compare the previously stored check code to see if there is any difference. If a difference is found: If it is just a 1-bit error, ECC can automatically correct it. But, If there are multiple errors, ECC can at least detect them and issue a warning. ECC test step: 1. Flash the attachment file to the imx93 board. 2. Enter the uboot, run the "ecc --help" command, you will see the below help output message 3. For example : ecc 0x80000000 0x90000000, it will test the ecc feature with on bit error detect and correct , 2 bits errors detect with 256MB DRM size. if you need this ECC_ test binary file, please contact me, i will share it to you

Flashing Kernel and Root File System using RedBoot Creating an image A kernel image and a root file system can be created using All Boards LTIB or compiling the kernel and setting the correct set of files. Create a root file system image from a set of files converting the files to a jffs2 file system. For this, install the package mtd-tools. In Ubuntu type apt-get install mtd-tools For making an root file system for flash, use the jffs2 file system like: mkfs.jffs2 -r rootfs/ -e 0x20000 -n -p -o rootfs.jffs2 Where rootfs/ is the original set of file for the file system and rootfs.jffs2 is the output image file. Flashing Some connections errors can be avoided by All Boards Configuring RedBoot. The process below uses TFTP to copy the files between host and target. See All Boards TFTP for detail in configurations. Copy the kernel image and the root file system image to the TFTP dir. For example, in LTIB dir, type sudo cp ./rootfs/boot/zImage /tftpboot sudo cp rootfs.jffs2 /tftpboot/ Where /tftpboot is the dir configured for TFTP The next steps are performed in a Minicom session, and happens on the board. Formatting the flash: fis init Flashing kernel Load kernel image (zImage) using the command below. Remember to modify the host IP address: load -r -b 0x100000 /tftpboot/zImage -h 10.29.244.99 The address 0x100000 is used as a temporary location Create the kernel at the right address (0x200000, for IMX31PDK) fis create -f 0x200000 kernel Flashing root file system Load root file system image (rootfs.jffs2) to the temporary address. Remember to modify the host IP address: load -r -b 0x100000 /tftpboot/rootfs.jffs2 -h 10.29.244.99 Create the root file system in the right address (0x600000, for IMX31PDK. fis create -f 0x600000 root Testing You can now load your kernel in the flash by typing: fis load kernel To know if the root file system written in the flash was correctly saved, execute the NFS file system and mount the flash. For load the the root file system by NFS, type: exec -b 0x100000 -l 0x200000 -c "noinitrd console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.29.244.99:/tftpboot/rootfs init=/linuxrc ip=10.29.241.6:10.29.244.99" Wait the system go up, then mount the flash at /mnt. Reminde that the flash has a jffs2 file system. mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock2 /mnt ls /mnt List the /mnt contents. The output must be the right file system. Modifying the initial script Reset the board and press CTRL-C. Type fc to modify the configurations and insert the initialization script.

Question: On i.MX6 DQ, the ON_TIME and DEBOUNCE bit fields of the SNVS_LPCR register are not readable. Also in the preliminary (i.MX61) specs bits 31-15 are reserved. Are ON_TIME and DEBOUNCE bit fields actually in this register for i.MX 6DQ and are these bits writable but not readable? Answer: This is a document issue which will be fixed in the next version of the RM. The register diagram should read as follows:

- In LTIB generate a rootfs.jffs2 with a erase block size of 16KB: ./ltib -c ---Target Image Generation Options ---> ---Choose your root file system image type Target image: (jffs2) ---> (16) jffs2 erase block size in KB - Copy the generated rootfs.jffs2 to /tftpboot : cp rootfs.jffs2 /tftpboot - Program 200732 Redboot binary. The 200732 Redboot is available in the 20071008 BSP iso.

ATK (Advanced Toolkit) ATK (Advanced Toolkit) is a Windows software for programming the flash memory of i.MX boards. Using ATK This section will describe the procedure to erase the flash memory and program the bootloader. 1 - Connect a serial cable between PC and i.MX board. 2 - Some hardware configurations (switches) must be done to flash the board. Set SW2 switch as below: Switch SW2 -> 11111 3 - Run ATK going to Start -> Programs -> AdvancedToolKit -> AdvancedToolKit Set the options: Device memory -> DDR; Custom Initial File -> (keep it unmarked) Communication Channel -> Serial Port (Usually COM1) 4 - Click on Flash Tools to erase, program or dump the the flash memory and click GO h4> Flash Programming The next step is to program the bootloader image into the board's Flash following the steps below. 1 - Select the parameters as shown in the figure below and press Program. The bootloader binary image file can be found into your Board Support Package Set Program, NOR Spansion 2 - Add it on Image File field and press Program. 3 - Close ATK, turn off the board and set switch back as shown in the picture below. Set SW2 switch as below: Switch SW2 -> 11010 Installing ATK on Linux Download ATK: Download. Extract ATK: # unzip ATK_1_41_STD_installer.zip Execute the default install process: # wine SETUP.EXE Get mfc42.dll and msvcp60.dll from a Windows Machine (C:\Windows\System32) and copy to wine system32 (/root/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32) Run ATK: # wine ADSToolkit_std.exe
