using big endian C6670 POST

Hello

I have a TMDSEVM6670LE board and I have to use big endian. so I want to change project big endian.

so I start to change POST project first.

I build POST project on big endian.

And board power up, I connect to board mezzanine Debugger,

And I run CCS mode. POST is good working.

Next,I want to flash POST program in EEPROM. but not boot. I think.

This is my process.

1. I build POST program on big endian. and I check post_evm6670l.out

2. post_i2crom.bin doesn't made. so I use shell script, name is post_romparse.sh

3. I edit post_romparse.sh (CGT_INSTALL_DIR, ENDIAN) and I check post_i2crom.bin file, including modified date.

4. I copy post_i2crom.bin file into mcsdk/tools/writer/eerprom/evmc6670l/bin

5. I modify DIP switch no boot mode.

6. I modify eepromwriter_input.txt (file_name = post_i2crom.bin, bus_addr = 0x50, start_addr = 0, swap_data = 0)

7. I run CCS with eepromwriter_evm6670.out (eepromwriter_evm6670.out is built on big endian)

8. I follow README.txt file. and I see a succeful message.

9. Turn off my board, and I modify DIP switch I2C boot mode with address 0x50.

10. Turn on my board. and I check LED.

unfortunately, All LED are ON. Not changed.

what I miss it?

thank you

Hi Shin,

Please ensure to select, Pin 1 of SW3 is set to ON for big endian.

Please refer EVM hardware setup guide below,

Thank you.

The warning message is right operation??

I solve it to erase warning.

I modified ROM1 parameter on post_image.rmd file, provided post.cmd file in post_evmc6670l project.

But I make another warning.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

warning: section post_evm6670l.out(.const) was padded by 2 to a size of 1512 to satisfy the specified memory width of 4

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

what does mean??

and POST doesn't working on EEPROM still.

Hi Shin,

Apologize for the delayed response. We had a long holiday.

I have seen that you have started a new thread for this issue hence closing this thread.
