Flexbus doesn't work!

Hello Freescale,

 

I try to run the sample code explained in AN4393 (section 3.1.2)

on TWR-K60F120M and TWR-MEM. In my code I write and read

an 8-bit value in the first 16 location of MRAM. The interesting is

that once I disconnect the twr-mem from the cpu, it still write and

read the right value. To me that means the value is written in

internal ram not external! I attach my MQX 4.0.2 project created

by CW 10.5 to this email.

 

I wonder if I need to change something in BSP or user config to

enable the external memory?!

 

Cheers

Note the AN4393 uses 0x60000000 as base address for Flexbus. On K60F120M it is cacheable memory region. After you disconnect TWR-MEM you should invalidate the cache line to force the MCU to access physical memory.  MQX provides: void _dcache_invalidate_line(void *addr) function for this.

It is also possible to use 0xA0000000 for Flexbus non-cacheable access.

Hello Martin,

Thank you for your reply. That was very helpul. I used 0xA0000000 as the base address and that works well on the TWR-MEM.

So, I try to implement the same concept on a customized board with a 16bit SRAM. The figure below shows our hardware schematic.

The memory is word-addressable (16-bit), so the FlexBus word address line FB_AD[1] is connected to A[0] of the memory.

Thus, FB_A[15:1] are connected to A[14:0] of the memory.

I initialize the flex bus in 16bit mode using the following code:

#define FLEX_BASE_ADDRESS 0xA0000000

SIM_SCGC7 |= SIM_SCGC7_FLEXBUS_MASK; // Enable the clock to the FlexBus

SIM_CLKDIV1 |= SIM_CLKDIV1_OUTDIV3(0x0); //FlexBus Clock not divided

// Set the GPIO ports clocks

SIM_SCGC5 = SIM_SCGC5_PORTA_MASK | SIM_SCGC5_PORTB_MASK | SIM_SCGC5_PORTC_MASK |

SIM_SCGC5_PORTD_MASK | SIM_SCGC5_PORTE_MASK;

// Set the GPIO ports clocks

SIM_SCGC5 = SIM_SCGC5_PORTA_MASK | SIM_SCGC5_PORTB_MASK | SIM_SCGC5_PORTC_MASK |

SIM_SCGC5_PORTD_MASK | SIM_SCGC5_PORTE_MASK;

/*address bus*/

PORTB_PCR18 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[15]

PORTC_PCR0 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[14]

PORTC_PCR1 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[13]

PORTC_PCR2 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[12]

PORTC_PCR4 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[11]

PORTC_PCR5 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[10]

PORTC_PCR6 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[9]

PORTC_PCR7 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[8]

PORTC_PCR8 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[7]

PORTC_PCR9 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[6]

PORTC_PCR10 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[5]

PORTD_PCR2 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[4]

PORTD_PCR3 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[3]

PORTD_PCR4 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[2]

PORTD_PCR5 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[1]

PORTD_PCR6 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[0]

/*data bus*/

PORTB_PCR20 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[31] used as d[15]

PORTB_PCR21 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[30] used as d[14]

PORTB_PCR22 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[29] used as d[13]

PORTB_PCR23 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[28] used as d[12]

PORTC_PCR12 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[27] used as d[11]

PORTC_PCR13 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[26] used as d[10]

PORTC_PCR14 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[25] used as d[9]

PORTC_PCR15 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[24] used as d[8]

PORTB_PCR6 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[23] used as d[7]

PORTB_PCR7 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[22] used as d[6]

PORTB_PCR8 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[21] used as d[5]

PORTB_PCR9 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[20] used as d[4]

PORTB_PCR10 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[19] used as d[3]

PORTB_PCR11 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[18] used as d[2]

PORTB_PCR16 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[17] used as d[1]

PORTB_PCR17 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ad[16] used as d[0]

PORTB_PCR19 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_oe_b

PORTC_PCR11 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_rw_b

PORTD_PCR1 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_cs0_b

PORTD_PCR0 = PORT_PCR_MUX(5); // fb_ale

FB_CSAR0 = (unsigned int)&MRAM_START_ADDRESS_8; //Set Base address

FB_CSCR0 = FB_CSCR_PS(2) // 16-bit port

| FB_CSCR_AA_MASK // auto-acknowledge

| FB_CSCR_WS(0x2) // 2 wait states

;

FB_CSMR0 = FB_CSMR_BAM(0x7) //Set base address mask for 512K address space

| FB_CSMR_V_MASK //Enable cs valid signal

;

I try to write and read a 16bit value to the SRAM over flexbus by using the following code:

int wdata16 = 1;

unsigned short *p_16;

p_16 = (unsigned short*) FLEX_BASE_ADDRESS;

for(n=0x00010;n<0x001F;n++) //address offset

{

    *(p_16 + n) = wdata16;

     rdata16 = *(p_16 + n);

     wdata16<<=1;

}

the problem is that rdata value is different from wdata! I'm not sure if I missed something in hardware or firmware side!

any comment on this issue kindly appreciated.

Cheer!
