Hi,

 

I have a problem of Windows Embedded Compact 7 on TMDSEVM3530 (OMAP35xEVM board).

I' ve built and downloaded run-time image (Release mode) to the board, but after downloading the image, nothing displays on the LCD.

The backlight is on, but the desktop picture of Compact 7 doesn't appear. (It seems that the system holds up)

 

This Problem also occurs when I boot from SD card. In the SD card,  MLO, EBOOTSD.nb0 and NK.bin files have been written.

I think that there is some problems in NK.bin file, because a test described below was successful. (Booting from SD card)

MLO, EBOOTSD.nb0  <----- created in Compact 7 Project

NK.BIN   <----- CE 6.0 R3 Demo file （the attachment of TMDSEVM3530)

 

Here is terminal logs of the tests using NK.bin of Compact 7 and CE 6.0 R3 Demo.

Also, I've built successfully in Debug Mode by modifying the memory allocation as below. ("successfully " means no errors)

[Before Modification]

MEMORY
;   Name                        VA          Length      Type
    ARGS                        84000000    00001000    RESERVED ; 4K
#if (defined BSP_DSPLINK || defined BSP_TI_DVSDK)
IF BSP_SDRAM_BANK1_ENABLE
    NK                          84001000    047FF000    RAMIMAGE ; 72MB - 4K
    DISPLAY                     88800000    01000000    RESERVED ; 16MB
    CMEM_DSP                    89800000    02800000    RESERVED ; 40 MB
    RAM                         8C000000    08000000    RAM      ; 128MB

 

[After Modification]

MEMORY
;   Name                        VA          Length      Type
    ARGS                        84000000    00001000    RESERVED ; 4K
#if (defined BSP_DSPLINK || defined BSP_TI_DVSDK)
IF BSP_SDRAM_BANK1_ENABLE
    NK                          84001000    096FF000    RAMIMAGE ; 151MB - 4K
    DISPLAY                     8D700000    01000000    RESERVED ; 16MB
    CMEM_DSP                    8E700000    02800000    RESERVED ; 40 MB
    RAM                         90F00000    03100000    RAM      ; 49MB

 

However, after download run-time image to the OMAP3530 board, there is an exception as below,

First-chance exception in NAND.DLL.

(0xC0000005: Access Violation)

This exception occurs in "C:\WINCE700\platform\ti_evm_3530\SRC\DRIVERS\BLOCK\NAND\fmd.c"

Are there any problems in NAND driver in BSP of "ti_evm_3530"?

Before building, I deleted drivers for OneNAND from the Catalog file and added those for NAND to that file instead because the board has 256MB NAND flash only.

 

What causes these problems and what should I do to work around them?

    See other post with similar question:

    http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/f/353/t/61362.aspx

     

    Burn the bootloader to flash and then boot. In Wince 7, persistent storage has been enabled which has implications that partitions be present on bootup else the driver crashes. We are still looking into this issue but for now, please use the workaround - burn bootloader to flash.

    Hi, Madhvi.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I've already seen the similar question that you attached to your comment, but I didn' t  understand that I should burn a bootloader to the flash memory to boot correctly.

    I edited the Catalog file to add the NAND driver and delete the OneNAND driver, but I haven't burnt to the flash yet.

    I know that I need EVMFlash Tool to update a bootloader, but I don't have any.

    How can I get this tool?

    Hi, Madhvi

     

    I found I can get EVMFlash Tool from WinCE BSP which can be downloaded from TI website.

    I will download and install the Tool, and update a bootloader.

     

    Thank you for your help.
