Manufacturing Firmware Building for Customizing

hemanthkumarcha · ‎02-02-2015

Hi Team,

we are customizing the i.MX233 with

RAM-LPDDR

Flash-SPI NOR

I Tried to Use below Procedure

2.5 Build Manufacturing Firmware

Please refer 2.2 Installing and Building LTIB to setup ltib environment.

Configure Firmware build profile

./ltib --selectype

Choose correct item as below:

--- Choose the platform type

Selection (imx233/stmp3780) --->

- -- Choose the packages profile

Selection (Updater profile for mx233) --->

After ltib complete build. Updater.sb will be created

From i.MX23_Linux_BSP_UserGuide Document My Updater.sb is failed Because the Mfg Tool Returns me a error.

Even I changed the UCL.xml File According to My Flash Requirements attached file.

How to Create a customized Upder.sb file as mentioned Hardware Details.

1 - Panel A Start processing SPI-NOR <LIST/>.

Panel A Start <CMD/> type="boot" body="Recovery" file="updater.sb" timeout="60" onError="" text="Booting update firmware".

1 - Panel A DoBoot() - Failed to load updater.sb to Recovery mode device. (err=121)

1 - Panel A Finished <CMD/> type="boot" body="Recovery" file="updater.sb" timeout="60" onError="" text="Booting update firmware" FAIL code=0x79.

Panel A: Reason is unknown,failed to run command: type="boot" body="Recovery" file="updater.sb" timeout="60" onError="" text="Booting update firmware" The semaphore timeout period has expired.

2 - Panel A Finished processing SPI-NOR <LIST/> : FAIL code=121.

Dear all,

Can any one tell me Below Configurations.

1)What are the EMI (External Memory Interface) Changes for

RAM-LPDDR

Flash-SPI NOR

In Boot-lets point of i.MX23.

2) How to Select Mobile DDR parametrs in i.MX23RM

Weather it is a 5 ns or 6ns or 7.5 ns

Regards

Hemanth

Hemanth, hello !

Appears, we do not have relatively simple tool or Excel table to configure i.MX23 memory controller.

Basically Denali tools are used by Freescale to generate custom register settings for the i.MX23 and other STMP

derivatives that use Denali IP in the EMI block.

https://www.denali.com/en/support/index.jsp

Often, if main technical parameters, including timings, for new DRAM parts are the same as Micron’s, it makes sense

to try different drive strength settings of DRAM signals.

Regards,

Yuri.

Ya Muhin,

I tested that's working.

I used the same flash to boot my customized board.

that Flash is Prepared as:
1) i will create the customized images from LTIB

2) copy Images to Sd Card(i used SD card as memory device)

3)I will Boot my EVK with SD card. and i will transfer the customized image to my Flash-SPI NOR(we customized the hardware interface for that)

4) and i will interface the my SPI NOR(Flashed Above Step) to my Customized board.i will Boot My Customized Board.

So i don't want to do all these so i want to Write My flash With MFG-Tool so i written ucl.xml (Mentioned Below) and Created Updater.sb for Customized board.

Please verify my log and ucl.xml

<CMD type="boot" body="Recovery" file="updater.sb">Booting update firmware</CMD>

<CMD type="push" body="$ flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0">Erasing boot partition</CMD>

<CMD type="push" body="send" file="files/imx23_linux.sb">Sending firmware</CMD>

<CMD type="push" body="$flashcp -v if=$FILE of=/dev/mtd0">Flashing firmware</CMD>

<CMD type="push" body="$ flash_eraseall /dev/mtd1">Erasing kernel partition</CMD>

<CMD type="push" body="send" file="files/rootfs.jffs2">Sending firmware</CMD>

<CMD type="push" body="$flashcp -v if=$FILE of=/dev/mtd1">Flashing firmware</CMD>

</LIST>

Here is the Latest Log

Hemanth,

Please check value of parameter “body” (of command "find"), which is defined in STATE section.

Regards,

Yuri.

Thanks for reply Yuri,

Ya that is ok, i checked and verified. i was succeeded in First Step. i.e My Updater.sb is going to RAM

Have You tested memory ?

Regards,

Yuri.

Yuri · ‎02-04-2015

Is the i.MX23 working and in USB boot mode ?

Is it possible to check it (say, using JTAG) ?

Have a great day,
Yuri
