native crash and low mem when take monkey test with LPDDR 4GB in imx8Mq evk

Hi,

our device use:

Android release is:  p9.0.0_2.0.0-ga

Linux version 4.14.98

the uboot is 3GB in default, and we do changes to 4GB as blew:

1、use the MX8M_LPDDR4_RPA_v24.xlsx and  datasheet to make .ds file;

2、use the mscale_ddr_tool_v3.10  to do stress test and generate the lpddr4_timing.c 

3、copy the lpddr4_timing to uboot-imx\board\freescale\imx8mq_evk directory.

4、change the codes:

      (1) add codes in imx8mq_evk.c

There is no error to use the mscale_ddr_tool_v3.10 do Calibration and stress test

But when we use monkey test app to test, there is a native crash and low mem

Hi zhulin:

Is your problem fixed? I also encountered the same problem.

[94393400]

upgrade to android Q, the problem is fixed on android Q

Fails to boot up device with 4GB LPDDR on iMX8QXP-B0 under eMMC boot mode,however uuu flashing is ok under serial mode TelltheBell

[94393400]

Hi Curtis Jonas ,

           what‘’s your mean?  my device can be boot up with 4GB LPDDR, only have system server native crash when doing monkey test. 

[igorpadykov]

please use latest C0 revision, old B0 is not recommended for production purposes.

[94393400]

Hi， 

      Which revision is C0 version？ I saw the baseline on the NXP.COM , only has p9.0-2.0.0_ga for the imx8mq evk.

[94393400]

Hi igor

        Dose the imx8mq evk support the optee in default ? 

[igorpadykov]

yes by default it is enabled, this is described in sect.5.6.10 OP-TEE enablement

Yocto Guide from Linux 5.4.3_1.0.0 Documentation

Best regards
igor

Hi igor

   How to disable the OP-TEE in imx8mq evk of android 9.0 p9.0.0_2.0.0-ga

    I see the doc said "OP-TEE is enabled by default in this release. To disable OP-TEE, go to the meta-imx/imx/meta-bsp/conf/layer.conf file and
comment out the DISTRO_FEATURES_append for OP-TEE and uncomment the removed line"

   But I can't find the directory and the file  layer.conf in  android version.

[igorpadykov]

Hi zhulin

one can check if mentioned below patch is included in image

Hi igor,

      Thanks for your reply, I checked our code, the patch you mentioned already in our baseline now. 

      Please hlep to check my .ds file and the codes I changed to 4GB were correct or not.
