Binary for AQR107 flash in LS1046ARDB

[ken_jung]

I am trying to get the  binary file for AQR107 flash in LS1046ARDB.

I asked Aquatina for the binary, then they asked to fill in the excel sheet attached.

Can I use the default setting int the excel sheet or do I  have to change something to match with LS1046ARDB?   

Can NXP provide binary file which is used for AQR107 flash in LS1046ARDB?

Hi ufdor,

I tried, but got follow result of haning.

===================

Maybe, I think that flash of AQR107 is not clean.

Is there anyway to clean previous firmware?

T.I.A.

[ken_jung]

"after SMT is done" means after parts are mounted  on the PCB board and soldered in refolw in the SMT(SMD) factory.  

And what I want to do is to write indetendently flash memory of AQR107 using ROM writer before SMT process, so that programing process can be skiped after SMT process.     

[ken_jung]

Ok

Thanks

[ufedor]

Sorry, there is no such solution from NXP.

[ken_jung]

The text file explains how to program firmware of AQR107 after SMT is done.

And cld file is firmware to be written to flash memory of AQR107.

Then, can I write cld file directly to flash memory of AQR107 using ROM writer before SMT?

[ufedor]

> after SMT is done

What do you mean?

[ken_jung]

I am asking this question, because I am designing a router based on LS1046ARDB. And I need to write the SPI flash memory which is connected to AQR107 before  SMT of PCB. I don't have any intension to change any configuration of the interface between LS1046A and AQR107 from LS1046ARDB.

In the release note(.pdf), above comment " Remove The Following Customer Notes Section" appears.

 I am asking if I need to do something to the cld file about this comment, and If the cld file can be written just by defining as a binary file in the memory writing tool or need any compiling before writing. 

[ufedor · Accepted solution]

Please refer to the attached files from the factory.

[ken_jung]

1. Does the cld file require any modification to follow below note in pdf file

***Start: Remove The Following Customer Notes Section**** Product branch top-level provisioning: SMBus Address = 0 Enables user control of the LED outputs Enables LED0 Enables LED1 Disables LED2 LED0, LED1, LED2 OFF Disable 10GBASE-T Advertisement Disable 5GBASE-T and 5G NBASE-T Advertisement Disable 2.5GBASE-T and 2.5G NBASE-T Advertisement Disable 1000BASE-T Advertisement Disable 100BASE-TX FD/HD and Pause/AsymPause Advertisement DTE Detection Disabled ANEG Timeout set to = 6 seconds Counter Read Order = MSW First ***End: Remove The Following Customer Notes Section****

2. Usually binary file has bin file extender.

    Does the cld file requires compiling to write the flash of AQR107 or can it be written to the flash directly as a binary?  

[ufedor]

Normally it is not supposed that customers will program the AQR107 firmware because the RDB board is properly programmed at the factory.

Please find the binary image attached.
