Multibin implementation on SD/MMC for i.MX53 with WEC7

seetha · ‎06-27-2012

Hi all,

I want to implement multibin on SD/MMC for i.MX53 WEC7. I gone through the web page at the following address

FileNotFound*KA8OBpldIOVyJF4TQizdrAdM-RkQmOiWOHPkC3QliPneRKbGAwgwtZz3QV0inJ3TFRPiwVksHuttxNTfwA6HqNq/README.txt

But this post is for i.MX50/i.MX51 on WinCE6.0. There are some changes in the files that they have mentioned in the patch. And few files are newly added as well. I am confused with this.

Does anybody have implemented this multibin on SD/MMC on i.MX53 WEC7?

Please share the experience of implementing multibin on i.MX53.

Thanks in advance,

Seetharam

Anybody have idea on this?? Qiang_FSL YuLin724 yucheng Yuri AdeneoEmbedded yusun ... anybody please?

There is also iMX53 WinCE700 patch: https://community.freescale.com/thread/280663

Hi Qiang_FSL ,

Thanks for reply..

But I am confusing about using cfimager for flashing.

If I flash using cfimager and try to load the image, it is creating new MBR etc and will format the SD card. So image will be erased.

Solution for this ??

(EDIT: Code-wise, I have already implemented all the changes in that link)

Regards,

Keshava

Hi Keshava,

cfimager -f eboot.nb0 -d F -raw -offset 0x400

The parameter "-raw" for cfimager will only write data to target address (-offset), no MBR create or sd card format.

KeshavaGN · ‎07-15-2014

Thanks Qiang_FSL ,

Understood.

But before loading SD image, eboot is doing the following operations:

SDHCVerifyMultiBINMBR

SDHCCreateMultiBINMBR

(Prints on log:

Successfully created 3 partitions

Boot Partition size = 767 Kbytes, startSect = 0x2, totSect = 0x5fe.

BINFS Partition size = 32768 Kbytes, startSect = 0x600, totSect = 0x10000

File System Partition size = 3838720 Kbytes, startSect = 0x10600, totSect = 0x752600

INFO: Copying NK image to RAM address 0xa0200000

)

I'm suspecting this.

Is this OK? Or whether this will format the xip.nb0 that I have flashed??

Regards,

Keshava

qiang_li-mpu_se · ‎07-15-2014

Hi Keshave, the EBoot will check and create the BINFS MBR for first time boot up. If the eboot.nb0 and xip.nb0 are built from the same project, no data will be destroyed.

So you just need write the EBOOT.nb0 and XIP.nb0 to sd card target address with cfimage.exe or the MFGTool, then EBOOT will do the remained work for BINFS support.

KeshavaGN · ‎07-15-2014

Okay Qiang_FSL ,

I have implemented all the changes and built the image.

Flashed using below commands (refering to mfgtool source code)

cfimager -f eboot.nb0 -d F -raw -offset 0x400

cfimager -f eboot.nb0 -d F -raw -offset 0x80400

cfimager -f xip.nb0 -d F -raw -offset 0x120400

Eboot is booting properly.

But its not loading the OS image.

Below is the log.

There it stops :smileysad:

What may be the issue? Which part of the code I can suspect?

Can you attach your ce.bib here?

KeshavaGN · ‎07-15-2014

Sure , Qiang_FSL .

Attached.

qiang_li-mpu_se · ‎07-15-2014

Hi Keshava, your config.bib should be wrong, from your ce.bib, it show chain.bin was put at address 80200000 ~ 80201000, the memory address 80200000 should be the kernel code running address.

Another issue in your ce.bib, there are no files in XIPKERNEL region and there are also no binfs sdmmc drivers.

So I think you havne't merged the BINFS patch correctly.

KeshavaGN · ‎07-15-2014

Hi Qiang_FSL ,

I will check this and update.

Thanks for support

Regards,

Keshava

KeshavaGN · ‎07-16-2014

Hi Qiang_FSL , I checked the config.bib of reference in link How to support MultiBIN(BINFS) on SDMMC for Freescale IMX5x WinCE 6.0/7.0 BSP -blog archive and merged the changes.

Still the issue is not solved. I have attached the updated ce.bib. Can you please help me on this ?

qiang_li-mpu_se · ‎07-16-2014

The CONFIG and MEMORY section in ce.bib seems OK now. But the build script "MakeBinfsBib.js" hasn't been run on your BSP.

Please check the file name "WINCE700\PLATFORM\iMX53_SMD\FILES\imx53_SMD-preri.proj", if your BSP name is "iMX6Q_SABREAuto", this file should be renamed to "iMX6Q_SABREAuto-preri.proj".

Another thing needs be checked, you should make sure javascript can run on your PC. To check this, you can double click the "MakeBinfsBib.js" on your PC, the information should be like JS.jpg.

By the way, I still haven't seen any files be put into XIPKERNEL region, please double check your platform.bib.

KeshavaGN · ‎07-16-2014

Thank you Qiang_FSL ..

I will check this...

Regards,

Keshava

qiang_li-mpu_se · ‎07-16-2014

Hi Keshava, you'd better comapre my iMX53 SMD patch with original BSP and understand the modifications.

Your ce.bib is still far away to the multibin image.

The attached is a correct multibin ce.bib, you can find XIPKERNEL files like followed, and the binfs related SD card drivers must be in XIPKERNEL region:

nk.exe I:\PB6_WorkSpaces\iMX51-EVK-Mobility\RelDir\Freescale_i_MX51_EVK_ARMV4I_Release\oal.exe XIPKERNEL MODULE SHZ

...

; ESDHC Driver

;

binfs_esdhc.dll I:\PB6_WorkSpaces\iMX51-EVK-Mobility\RelDir\Freescale_i_MX51_EVK_ARMV4I_Release\binfs_esdhc.dll XIPKERNEL SHK

binfs_sdbus.dll I:\PB6_WorkSpaces\iMX51-EVK-Mobility\RelDir\Freescale_i_MX51_EVK_ARMV4I_Release\binfs_sdbus.dll XIPKERNEL SHK

KeshavaGN · ‎07-17-2014

Hi Qiang_FSL ,

Thank you.. Now I'm able to get the OS image (xip.nb0) loading...

But it's crashing (data abort exception) just after the OAL, and not proceeding.

Below is the log. Any idea on this?? (I have not modified the SD driver for the multibinfs implementation still. But I don't think this is the cause of this problem.. Please advice.)

Hi Keshava, you had defined pdwXIPLoc to wrong address 0x70200000 in your config.bib, that is not needed, please remove it.

I tested by removing this. Attached the new ce.bib.

All pdwXIPLoc related codes are not needed.

KeshavaGN · ‎07-17-2014

Yes Qiang_FSL , Even I thought of same...

I removed this extra code in OALInit. But it is not solving the issue. Below is the log.

I will try merging the only missing implementation, i.e. SD card driver changes.

But I don't think it is causing this crash, as SD driver is not loaded still...
