Did you ran the global default setup in the gel file and tried.

Thanks,

Arun.

Arun,

I just changed the GEL file to use the global default setup. It is still the same issue. Do you any other suggestion?

Thanks,

Arun

Hi

This looks like a PA initialization failure - is there a known fix for this? Is there documentation on PA use and setup on the 66x cores?

Thanks

There was a new beta2 release whihc doesn't have this issue. can you try that. If I rememebr correctly, this was something to due with the cache issue. Please try the new reelase and let me know if this presists.

Thanks,

Arun.

I have the same problem. I tried installing the new beta of the MCSDK (beta1_update1) but the problem persists.

Thanks,

I'm having a similar problem. The program does not fully boot this is with beta1_update1. Has there been any resolution?

Thanks,

Ryan

This is still broken in Beta 2 of the MCSDK.  It seems to be related to the pll flag set to one in the EVM_init() function if that is turned off the program works but only at 100MHz!  With the flag turned on the program seems to crash in the CorePllcHwSetup () in ecvm6678.c.  Sometimes it get into one of its function calls and crashes other times it stops in an if statement or one of the while(loopCount--) nop loops.   Using the debugger to step through the program when it crashed in the loopCount loops the loopCount variable never decremented.

We're currently trying to evaluate ethernet (UDP) performance as we plan to use this part in a new design.  It is imperative we get this program running at full speed.

I was able to get the program to run with the pll turned on by changing the following:

Add call to Gloval Defaulr Setup in file evmc6678I.gel

 if (DEVSTAT & 0x0000000E)

  {

GEL_TextOut("No initialization performed since bootmode = %x \n",,,,,(DEVSTAT >> 1 ) & 0xF);

        GEL_TextOut("You can manually initialize with GlobalDefaultSetup\n");

         Global_Default_Setup(); // <- added global default setup call to evmc6678I.gel 

}

Comment out all code in EVM_init() located in hellowWorld.c but leave the function there effectively it is now an empty function 

void EVM_init()

{

}

Hao,

Your suggestions worked.  I put the code back to its original state and as long as the POST did not run the example code loaded correctly.

Thank you,

Ryan

hi，i encounter the same problem, Error:unable to register the EMAC.

i use the gel to initialize the DDR/PLL and comment the EVM_Init function, but this error always come.

how to solve this problem? thank you very much.
