AM625-Q1: AM625: DDR SysConfig Configuration Issues

Part Number: AM625-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG, AM625

  1. We use the SysConfig tool to configure DDR memory, which generates the k3-am62x-sk-ddr4-1600MTs.dtsi device tree include file.
  2. Our configuration parameters:
    • Memory Frequency (MHz): 800
    • Data Bus Width (per device): 8
    • Read DBI: Disabled
    • CL (CAS Latency): 12
Issue:
 
Some boards crash during memtest, specifically failing in the Solid Bits and Bit Flip test items. Adjusting CL from 9 to 12 has improved stability, but we need guidance on tuning other parameters. All remaining parameters are currently configured strictly according to the DDR chip datasheet.
Request:
 
Is there any official tool that can automatically scan and recommend the required parameters for SysConfig configuration? Or what is the standardized/recommended methodology to properly calibrate these DDR parameters for optimal stability on the AM625 platform?
  • Hi, 

    which DDR4 are you using?  Can you provide part number and/or datasheet?

    -Can you provide the full configuration from the SysConfig tool (.syscfg file)?

    If your DDR4 supports Read DBI, you should enable this and set CL=14.
