IMX6ULL DDR calibration failed when change DDR from 512m to 1g

Hi,

We have a customized IMX6ull board which changed DDR to 1GB(as4c512m16d3l-12bin).

I used ddr_stress_tester_v3.00 to calibrate DDR and got the following log info. Also, If I only changed memory size , column and row related register in .cfg file(leaves MPDGCTRL0 PHY0 //  MPRDDLCTL PHY0 // MPWRDLCTL PHY0 default) and load UBoot from sdcard. There is no output in console.  

Moreover, I also tried to boot from SPL which shown following log info in console:

U-Boot SPL 2017.03-mx6ul+g3b5f889 (Sep 30 2020 - 12:45:29)
Trying to boot from MMC1

Here is the schematic of our board. I think it is very similar to the design of imx6ullevk.

Thank you for your help first.

We have found the problem. It is caused by missing connection between NVCC_DRAM_2P5 and VDD_HIGH_CAP.

Thanks for your help.

Hi AccuJie

 

"Error: failed during write leveling calibration" may point to hardware

issues: incorrect routing of ddr lines, broken or shortened signals.

Probably poor soldering, try to resolder chip.

May be recommended to check signals with oscilloscope, use guidelines of

Hardware Development Guide for the i.MX 6ULL Applications Processor

 

Best regards
