LPDDR4 Training failed

[sahilnayak]

Hi Team,

We are facing issue related to LPDDR4. We had successfully done bring-up of our custom board and were able to boot the processor initially in the internal boot mode. Then when we tried to flash the u-boot in serial mode, it was repeatedly flashing u-boot only. Below are the logs:

After that we tried to boot in internal boot mode, and we were facing DDR training failed prints continuously and resetting the MCU. Following are the logs:

Hi Igor,

We have new batch of boards available with us.

We are facing the same issue of TRAINING FAILED in the new boards as well when we try to flash the processor in Serial Download mode.

[sahilnayak]

Yes, we implemented the image changes as described in "MSCALE_DDR_Tool_User_Guide"

Hi Igor,

Thanks for your response.

We have already tried with latest version of RPA tool. Still we are getting the same result.

[igorpadykov]

had you implemented image changes described in "MSCALE_DDR_Tool_User_Guide"

Best regards

Hi Sahil

for this issue may be recommended to run ddr test (use latest RPA tool) and update image

as described in "MSCALE_DDR_Tool_User_Guide" provided on that link

https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors-Knowledge-Base/i-MX-8M-Family-DDR-Tool-Release/ta-p/110...

Also recommended to use latest Linux 5.10.35_2.0.0 :
