iMX6UL PSRAM launching problem.

[krzysztoflukasz]

Hi,

I am currently trying to force PSRAM to work. The PSRAM chip that I have on board is ISSI IS66WVC2M16ALL  which is compatible with Micron Cellular RAM 1.5 spec.
 

  I am using EIM driver setup to run this memory chip.
 
  I configured Linux device tree as follow:
 
  pinctrl_weim: weimgrp {
     fsl,pins = <
      MX6UL_PAD_CSI_DATA00__EIM_AD00  0xb0b1
      MX6UL_PAD_CSI_DATA01__EIM_AD01  0xb0b1

     >;
    };
 
  &weim {
   #address-cells = <2>;
   #size-cells = <1>;
   ranges = <0x0 0x0 0x50000000 0x400000>;
   fsl,weim-cs-gpr = <&gpr>;
   bank-width = <2>;
   pinctrl-names = "default";
   pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_weim>;
 
   status = "okay";
 
   psram: psram@50000000 {
          compatible = "mmio-sram";
    reg = <0x0 0x0 0x400000>;
  
    fsl,weim-cs-timing = <0x403104b1 0x00000000 0x0b010000
             0x00000008 0x0b040040 0x00000000>;
   };
  };
 
  The EIM driver (imx-weim.c) is set to be as given in iMX6UL RM point 21.7.3.1(Micron PSRAM Asynchronus Mode Configuration) for 16 bit memory.
 
  After the system start I have the following:
  cat /proc/iomem
 

  ...  
  50000000-503fffff : 50000000.psram
  ...

 
  Which show me that psram is registered in the system.
  But when I try to access the memory by
 

  devmem2 0x50000000
  I receive that
  /dev/mem opened.
 
  and the system is going to hang up.
 
  I suppose that I have wrong registers values here :
  fsl,weim-cs-timing = <0x403104b1 0x00000000 0x0b010000
             0x00000008 0x0b040040 0x00000000>;

Has anyone successfully run this particular model of PSRAM chip with IMX6 and can provide the accurate timings please?

I am wondering as well if the problem is not caused by not connected on my board PSRAM pins A19 and A20 to the IMX6? As pin A19 can be used to set PSRAM control registers.

But in the PSRAM documentation there is as well 'software way' of setting those control registers showed - so I doubt whether A19 is important here?

Best regards,

Please refer chapter 22.7 of i.MX 6UltraLite Applications Processor Reference Manual regarding to PSRAM initialization.

Have a great day,

Victor

Hi，Victor:

      I can't find the chapter 22.7 in the i.MX 6UltraLite Applications Processor Reference Manual,and now I also

have the problem of PSRAM.
