How to access External Memory for the "Mistarl OMAP 3530 EVM Main Board REV D".

This question is not answered

Hi,

I’m working on Mistarl OMAP 3530 EVM Main Board REV D with OMAP Processor Module OMAP 35xx REV B on it along with CCS 5.1 through BackHawk USB 560BP Emulator.

It’s using Samsung Onenand K5W1G1GACM-DL60

Able to acess internal memory from addr 4020 0000
Added gel file “omap3530_cortexA.gel” at new target congiuration, which is supported by CCS 5.1.

According to my understanding this main “omap3530_cortexA.gel” internally calling the following gel files.

CortexA8_CrossTrigger.gel
cortexA8_util.gel
etm_cortexA8_registers.gel
omap3430_prcm_clock_configs.gel
omap3430_reconfigure_firewalls.gel
omap35xx_resets.gel
OMAP35x_AM-DM37x_sdrc_config.gel

Issues::

I tried to access external memory at the addr 0x0000 0000 and 0x8000 0000 which was producing error :: Data Verification Error.
How to access external memory / ? any memory address for it?
Is there any other gel file needs to be added for this board ?

Regards,

Revolution.

On OMAP3530 the external memory is mapped at 0x80000000 and you MUST configure SDRC in order to access it. The SDRC configuration must be happening in "OMAP35x_AM-DM37x_sdrc_config.gel", so you just check whether code from this gel file is getting executed or not.

Thanks,

Hi Vaibhav,

Thank you so much for your concern.

I followed as you mentioned.

1. Changed the External Memory Address 0x8000 0000. Still the error is same (PFA "LoadPrgmError.JPG")

2. Checked OMAP35x_AM-DM37x_sdrc_config.gel, Code is passing through the gel. (PFA "SDRCInitilization_Done_for_mDDR_Samsung_K4X51323PC.JPG")

We can see the "SDRC initilization for mDDR_Samsung_K4X51323PC completed" statement at console.

Please verify cmd and gel files attached. (OMAP3530.cmd and OMAP35x_AM-DM37x_sdrc_config.gel).

As per my observation ::

The Mistral OMAP 3530 EVM Main Board REV D with OMAP Processor Module OMAP 35xx REV B is using Samsung Onenand K5W1G1GACM-DL60 but the memory configured in the ***sdrc_config.gel file is for "mDDR_Samsung_K4X51323PC" ( /*Configure only memory on CS0*/). Is this mismatch causing the Data verification error ?
