DDR3 Memory upgrade

[saurabh206]

Hi,

We are having custom hardware based on IMX6Q and its working fine.

We need to increase the DDR3 memory from 1GB to 2GB.

I have following questions regarding the hardware modification.

- Does the same IMX6q BSP works for hardware with 2GB? In this case it uses only 1GB memory. 

- What software changes required for custom hardware upgrades to 2GB DDR3 Memory?

Thanks

Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,

Our IMX6Q hardware supports the most 4G memory, so 2GB is absolutely not problem. But the software should be changed. You must change your u-boot. Go to the directory /u-boot-2009.08/board/freescale/mx6q_sabresd/flash_header.S to edit the flash_header.S according to your hardware.

Also <u-boot>/include/configs/mx6dq_sabresd.h needs modifying as there you specify number of CS and overall memory size.

Hi,

Dan/Valdan

Thanks for youre reply.

We are using MT41J256M16HA-125E.

Our interface is same as SabreSD board.

Where can find more detailed information about the modification?

Thanks

Hi Saurabh,

      You need to go to the ltib directory to release the u-boot first by the commend "./ltib -m prep -p u-boot". And then you will see the .h files in the u-boot directory, as we have said above .
