Access to EPI external SDRAM in TM4C1294

TM4C1294NCPDT: External SDRAM

Hello,

I use a custom board which has attached an external SDRAM (MT48LC32M16A2P).

I tried to perform a simple access but I did not succeed. 

*(volatile uint32_t*)0x60000000 = 0xA1A2A3A4;

result = *(volatile uint32_t*)0x60000000;

The result always contains 0xFFE0FFE0. Please find below the initialization steps.

    uint32_t ui32Val;

    SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_EPI0);

    SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_GPIOA);
    SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_GPIOB);
    SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_GPIOC);
    SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_GPIOG);
    SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_GPIOK);
    SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_GPIOL);
    SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_GPIOM);
    SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_GPION);

    ui32Val = HWREG(GPIO_PORTC_BASE + GPIO_O_PCTL);
    ui32Val &= 0x0000FFFF;
    ui32Val |= 0xFFFF0000;
    HWREG(GPIO_PORTC_BASE + GPIO_O_PCTL) = ui32Val;

    //
    // EPI0S8 ~ EPI0S9: A6 ~ 7
    //
    ui32Val = HWREG(GPIO_PORTA_BASE + GPIO_O_PCTL);
    ui32Val &= 0x00FFFFFF;
    ui32Val |= 0xFF000000;
    HWREG(GPIO_PORTA_BASE + GPIO_O_PCTL) = ui32Val;

    //
    // EPI0S10 ~ EPI0S11: G0 ~ 1
    //
    ui32Val = HWREG(GPIO_PORTG_BASE + GPIO_O_PCTL);

    ui32Val |= 0x000000FF;
    HWREG(GPIO_PORTG_BASE + GPIO_O_PCTL) = ui32Val;

    //

    //
    ui32Val = HWREG(GPIO_PORTB_BASE + GPIO_O_PCTL);
    ui32Val &= 0xFFFF0FFF;
    ui32Val |= 0x0000F000;
    HWREG(GPIO_PORTB_BASE + GPIO_O_PCTL) = ui32Val;

    I do not have your custom board so I am not able to debug for you. You might want to look at the interface with a logic analyzer. Also, have you seen the example in:
    C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.1.4.178\examples\peripherals\epi

    Hello Bob,

    The sequence I posted above is taken from examples\peripherals\epi. The hardware connections are done using www.ti.com/.../tidres5.pdf.

    Hello,

    So, changing the way the PORT multiplexer is configured worked.

        GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PA6_EPI0S8);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PA7_EPI0S9);

    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PB3_EPI0S28);

    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PC4_EPI0S7);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PC5_EPI0S6);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PC6_EPI0S5);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PC7_EPI0S4);

    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PG0_EPI0S11);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PG1_EPI0S10);

    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PH0_EPI0S0);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PH1_EPI0S1);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PH2_EPI0S2);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PH3_EPI0S3);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PK5_EPI0S31);

    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PL0_EPI0S16);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PL1_EPI0S17);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PL2_EPI0S18);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PL3_EPI0S19);

    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PM0_EPI0S15);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PM1_EPI0S14);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PM2_EPI0S13);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PM3_EPI0S12);

    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PN2_EPI0S29);
    GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PN3_EPI0S30);

    Great, glad to hear. Now days we always recommend using the TivaWare functions over direct register writes.
