iMX8MM-EVK LPDDR4 not work

[kieuvietdich]

Hi guys,

I'm used sample iMX8MM-EVK pcb from NXP to make a board, 100% like iMX8MM-EVK.

When I using MSCALE_DDR_TOOL version 310 to test LPDDR4. Calibration and street test OK. Result is attached bellow.

But, when I try to read or write ddr address (like : 0x2000000),  MSCALE_DDR_TOOL alert me that MCU will be hungup. I can load imx-boot-imx8mmevk-sd.bin-flash_evk and run u-boot SPL. When I try to read or write ddram from u-boot, MCU hangup and reseting. 

Can you tell me why? and how to fix it?

Thank you and br,

Hi igorpadykov,

Thanks for your reply. In two months ago, we make an other PCB for check, but it's same result. 

Yes, you right. 0x2000000 is invalid address. My LPDDR4 seem be worked. I still can't boot use SDCARD or eMMC or QSPI.

When I run Linux over USB downloader UUU, it's worked. But when I set bootmode for automatic boot from sdcard or eMMC or QSPI, my custom board not work. Console not print anything.

Can you tell me how to check bootmode by bare-metal application run on iMX8M-Mini? Or anything I can do to check my custom board. Step by step bringup custom board, etc.

Thanks you.

Hi

If uuu can work , you can try to show 0x30390058 (SRC_SBMR1) and 0x30390070  (SRC_SBMR2) in debug port.

You can know your Boot_Config is correct or not.

[kieuvietdich]

Thanks you, my bootmode wrong. It's can boot from flexQSPI now.

Hi Kieu

valid ddr memory addresses are described in sect.2.1.2 Cortex-A53 Memory Map

i.MX 8M Mini Applications Processor Reference Manual

seems 0x2000000 is not valid address. Also it is necessary to pay attention

to Chapter 4 How to bring up a new MX8MSCALE board MSCALE_DDR_Tool_User_Guide.pdf

included in ddr test package for performing necessary uboot changes.

Best regards
igor
