MCUXpresso-generated blinky doesn't run on RT1024

Background: New custom board using MIMXRT1024CAG4B. After correcting my previous errors, the board powers up and the processor is recognized by Windows via USB as an "SE Blank RT Family", so the CPU is running the ROM bootloader AOK. Segger J-Link happily recognizes and programs the part, but Windows still recognizes it as blank.

I'm trying to get a simple "blinky" app running on the board with no joy. I created an application in MCUXpresso and its config tools, but when I try to debug it, the processor immediately loops in the ROM area of the processor. I suspect the project created by MCUXpresso is not properly filling in the boot header. I did create the DCD, but the boot header prior to the DCD seems to be just filler from the linker script. The application is linked as expected (to run from the flash).

Question: That's wrong with the application / project (attached)? How do I get the complete set of header and drivers for execute-from-flash? Why did MCUXpresso create a project that does not run? @mjbcswitzerland ?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Best Regards, Dave

Update: The problem was, as I suspected, the MCUXpresso generated project failed to properly initialize the boot header.
To get this project to run, I did the following:

  • copied the files evkmimxrt1024_flexspi_nor_config.h/c from a working project (running on EVK),
  • defined as 1 the symbols XIP_BOOT_HEADER_ENABLE and XIP_EXTERNAL_FLASH
  • Note: no changes to hardware BOOT_MODE pins were required.

Please Note: MCUXpresso bug - failed to properly set up execution from internal flash in generated project.
The complete buggy generated project was attached to the original post above.

I've attached the nor config files below. Can you tell me:
Are the settings in the code below correct for MIMXRT1024CAG4B (different processor from 5B on EVK)?

Thanks!
Best Regards, Dave

Hi @davenadler 

1. The code, I suggest you use the SDK project at first, after it works OK, then you can try to generate your own project.

2. Please Note: MCUXpresso bug - failed to properly set up XIP in generated project.
The complete buggy generated project was attached to the original post above.

=>Answer: You need to add the XIP, and assign it to the FCB linker file.

3. 

I've attached the nor config files below. Can you tell me:
Are the settings in the code below correct for MIMXRT1024CAG4B (different processor from 5B on EVK)?

=>Answer: RT1024 is using the internal QSPI flash, do you use your own flash or other memory?

Best Regards,

Kerry

1. Have done that; trying to generate real project fails.

2a. I found no way to specify execution from internal QSPI flash in teh configuration tools.
Exactly how does one configure this project to run from internal flash?
Have you tried doing this with the project I provided?

2b. I found no way to add XIP - It is not listed in peripherals tool.
Exactly how does one add XIP to this project?
Have you tried doing this with the project I provided?

3. We are using MIMXRT1024CAG4B internal QSPI flash and internal RAM only in this project.
Again: Are the settings in the code I copied (above) correct for MIMXRT1024CAG4B (different processor from 5B on EVK)?

Thanks!

=>Answer: SDK code need to modify the clock from 500M to 400, as your chip can't up to 500Mhz.

=>Answer:

kerryzhou_0-1683187286589.png

4B, 5B, the core frequency is different, if you are using 4B, the max core frequency is 400Mhz.

But, the SDK define:

#define BOARD_BOOTCLOCKRUN_CORE_CLOCK 500000000U /*!< Core clock frequency: 500000000Hz */

You need to change this code.

But, the SDK define:

That is incorrect.
The SDK expects BOARD_BOOTCLOCKRUN_CORE_CLOCK to be defined.
Definition of this symbol is created by clocks tool in generated code clock_config.h

In the example provided, in the original question, this symbol is already set to a low value in clock_config.h

Again, Please, answer 2a, 2b, and especially 3 above.

Also, please confirm you have reported as a bug:
MCUXpresso new project wizard and config tools fail to generate a running project for RT1024.

Thanks,
Best Regards, Dave

Hi @davenadler ,

  Maybe some misunderstanding.

  I mean, the SDK is used for the RT1024 which is 500Mhz, but your select chip is the 400Mhz, so you need to modify the SDK clock config which change the system clock to 400Mhz instead of 500Mhz.

  Not just the define for 500Mhz, that just an example to indicate the sdk is 500Mhz core clock.

  Answer your:

2a. I found no way to specify execution from internal QSPI flash in the configuration tools.
Exactly how does one configure this project to run from internal flash?
Have you tried doing this with the project I provided?

=>The SDK is running from the internal QSPI flash, not the external flash.

FlexSPI interface:

memory:

kerryzhou_1-1683263063934.png

 

So, if you refer to the sdk, that project is put in the internal flash.

 

2b. I found no way to add XIP - It is not listed in peripherals tool.
Exactly how does one add XIP to this project?
Have you tried doing this with the project I provided

=>XIP, you need to refer to the SDK, FCB, after you add the FCB then it works.

Do you try to use the debugger run the code from internal RAM, whether that works OK or not?

If yes, I think you can testing the flexspi polling code, just to check the internal flash write, read, erase situation.

BTW, you also need to check your BOOT_CFG, BOOT_MODE pins, make sure it is the correct settings.

 

Best Regards,

Kerry

Hi @davenadler ,

  Why your BOOT_MODE0 is unconnected? That is not correct!

  Please connect it to GND if you want to enter the internal boot mode.

BTW, if you want to test it in the serial download mode, you need to set BOOT_MODE[1:0]=01;

 

Wish it helps you!

Best Regards,

Kerry

@kerryzhou- You wrote:

That's not correct; as MJB has pointed out if the flash image is not recognized as valid, the ROM bootloader then tries serial mode - as was illustrated by my problem above.

Hi @davenadler ,

   Yes,If an error occurs during the internal boot, the boot code jumps to the Serial Downloader.

  That's correct.

  Can you use the debugger download code to the internal RAM or not?

  If yes, I suggest you test this SDK code at first:

\SDK_2_13_0_MIMXRT1024-EVK\boards\evkmimxrt1024\driver_examples\flexspi\nor\polling_transfer

Just to check, whether the flash operation works or not.

As I already explained below, my project works when I add boot header initialization...

Thanks @kerryzhou - I thought the BOOT_MODEx pins have internal pull-downs? Is that not correct?

Also, can someone explain how the boot sequence operates on RT1024-EVK board, where pins 141 and 142 are connected to memory?

Thanks!

Hi @davenadler ,

    Normally, we add the external pull resistor for the stable working in the production.

   how the boot sequence operates on RT1024-EVK board, where pins 141 and 142 are connected to memory?

=>Why you need to use pin 141 and 142?

The internal QSPI is connect to:

kerryzhou_0-1682660713342.png

About the boot, it will boot from the internal QSPI flash.Winbond W25Q32JV.

 

Best Regards,

Kerry

Because these are BOOT_MODE1 and BOOT_MODE2 pins we are discussing.
To clarify my question:
Given the EVK connects boot mode pins to a SEMC_A1 and SEMC_A0 (memory address pins),
how does the boot process work on EVK?
Do boot pins read '00' because of internal pull-downs?
Thanks!

Hi

I doubt that a simple imported SDK program will not operate (either in XiP or in RAM mode) so I wonder whether you have set the MODE inputs to that it boots from flash and doesn't always start in ISP mode?
i.e. MODE00 = '0' and MODE01 = '1'.

Regards

Mark

The issue here is a project generated by NXP's new project "wizard" and configuration tools doesn't function. Probably I should have started with a representative project and made incremental changes, but I couldn't find anything close to my board... In the end I used a non-NXP makefile project as a template to get my skeleton up and running.

Anyway thanks as always for the help!

Thanks @mjbcswitzerland, Hopefully I've set the boot mode pins correctly...

Hi

I don't know what a non-connected MODE00 defaults to - I would try pulling it to 0V (or via 10k) to be sure.
