Issue booting U-boot on i.mx28evk using openocd jtag

[B_K_Ankur]

Hello Friends,

I am trying to boot u-boot using Olimex ARM-USB-OCD JTAG on imx28evk. The JTAG gets connected properly but failed to execute the "u-boot.bin" image loaded in RAM.

Below are the steps:

1) Configure the BOOT Switch in NAND boot mode

2) Connect the JTAG with the board

3) Open the Debug Serial Console for i.mx28 under Putty

4) On Linux PC Machine ran the openocd using below command:

    test@test-VirtualBox:~/openocd-0.7.0/tcl$ sudo openocd -f interface/olimex-arm-usb-ocd.cfg -f board/imx28evk.cfg

    Info : Embedded ICE version 6

    Info : imx28.cpu: hardware has 2 breakpoint/watchpoint units

4) Open the Telnet to JTAG at port 4444. Ran the Init for imx28 and load the image

    test@test-VirtualBox:~/openocd-0.7.0/tcl$ telnet localhost 4444

    Trying 127.0.0.1...

    Connected to localhost.

5) Execute the loaded image:

    > resume 0x40000100

    >

6)  Nothing comes out of Debug Console it remains blank.

Can anyone share their views what I am missing here? I have referred links: https://community.freescale.com/thread/302010 and https://community.freescale.com/thread/309446 but still couldnt able to boot u-boot from RAM.

Additional Info Output at telnet prompt:

Thank you in Advance.

Hello Wlodek_D,

Thank you for pointing out. I am sorry, I missed selecting correct community.

For More Information: The u-boot.sd and u-boot.nand generated via above u-boot.bin (which is failing to load via JTAG) are working fine and tested.

Hello Folks,

I am still struggling to run the u-boot on the RAM. Even tried with the pre-compiled u-boot.bin file. Any suggestions are welcome..

Hello Friends,

I found reading Re: Has anyone used an FTDI 2232 based JTAG probe on an IMX28? post that to boot from JTAG, I have to kept boot mode for imx28evk into JTAG by configuring the boot switches to 0 1 1 0. In case if I do then I got error as below

In other boot modes, I can connect successfully with JTAG. Configuring it to NAND boot mode, I got below message:

My concern is in which mode I have to kept the boot switches to load and boot the u-boot.bin file?

Hello Friends,

Assuming that Jtag is working in NAND mode, I have followed  Re: Has anyone used an FTDI 2232 based JTAG probe on an IMX28? to load u-boot image step by step mentioned. But I am getting "undefined Instruction" when I do resume 0x40000100.

Could anyone point what is missing?

Now using USB boot mode for debugging.

Thanks,

Hi Ankur,

it is no problem to load U-Boot into the DDR of i.MX28. See post Re: Load u-boot with JTAG
