TMS570LS3137: Questions about chapter 7--PBIST module

Part Number: TMS570LS3137

1.What's the exact meaning of RDS? RDS is one of the information about self-test failure,value of it despends on RGS.
2.As described in manual, "resume the test if required using Program Control register(offset = 0x16c) STR = 2." So, where is the Program Control register? I searched the whole manual ,but failed.
3.In Fail Status ** Register description,what's the exact menaning of port0 and port1 ? refer to single port and dual port? So, why only port0 Fail Status Fail Register? port1 failure?
4.In table 2-5, why lack of RGS and RDS about FLEXRAY when it in RAM Group 17?Why lack of the grouping information about TCRAM?According to number, whether lack of ESRAM?

Thanks.

  • Hello,

    1.What's the exact meaning of RDS? RDS is one of the information about self-test failure,value of it despends on RGS.

    RGS: register group select and

    RDS: register data select 

    Please read the Table of PBIST Memory Grouping in device TRM.

    As described in manual, "resume the test if required using Program Control register(offset = 0x16c) STR = 2." So, where is the Program Control register? I searched the whole manual ,but failed.

    This register is a rsved register.

    what's the exact menaning of port0 and port1 ? refer to single port and dual port?

    Port 1 is for dual port memory. Port 0 is for single-port and dual-port memory.

    In table 2-5, why lack of RGS and RDS about FLEXRAY when it in RAM Group 17?Why lack of the grouping information about TCRAM?According to number, whether lack of ESRAM?

    The dual-port and single-port for flexray use the same RGS and RDS.

  • Thanks for your reply,but I still have some questions.
    1.According to description in the Chpter 7,"Refer to Table 2-5 for information on the RDS values for each memory." Though the Table 2-5 in the TRM presents the RDS of diffrent RAM Group ,there are no exact information about the meaning of RDS. So, if self-test failed, what's the exact meaning of RDS in the RAM Configuration Register (RAMT)?

    2.In the Table 2-5, what's the exact meaning of ESRAM1,ESRAM5,ESRAM6,ESRAM8?Are they the RAM of some module?If so, please tell me the exact module and their corresponding relation. And, Why there are no grouping of TCRAM?

    3.As you said,Program Control register is a rsved register. "Resume the test if required using Program Control register(offset = 0x16c) STR = 2." If I want to resume the test, how can I program it?
