DRA821U: when Primery Boot Mode is configured as no-boot/Dev boot and Backup Boot Mode is configured as SPI,CCS cannot load the debugging script normally

Part Number: DRA821U
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRA821

Following are the switch settings for common processor board:
SW8[1-8] = 1011 1000
SW9[1-8] = 0111 0000

This problem only appears in Windows system, but not in Linux system

  • Fan, 

    js script can be configured to either load or not load GEL file. If do, can you check fi the GEL file under CCS:

        ccs1031\ccs\ccs_base\emulation\gel\J7200_DRA821\J7VCL_SI.gel

    where the macro:

       #define DMSC_FLOW (0U)    // Change to 0 if not using DMSC Firmware
                                                       // Change to 1 if using DMSC firmware.

    allows GEL to initialize DDR. If the DDR is not initialized and the jsfile attempt to load programs to the DDR, it will fail. 

    I recently run into a similar debug with Rio:

    https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1017356/dra821u-jtag-test-on-j7200-evm-fail/3762530#3762530

    In my test, I set the DMSC_FLOW to 0, and let GEL to initialize DDR. it did past the line where the ACTM is filled (from DDR). 

    let me know if this may be the cause. i don't have a CCS install on Linux at the moment.
