TDA4VM: SBL boot from OSPI failed

yun wang

Part Number: TDA4VM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hi Ti support team,

I use the J721eEVM board and ti-processor-sdk-rtos-j721e-evm-07_03_00_07 SDK.

Boot mode setting:

SW3[1-8] = 0xxx xxxx
SW8[1-8] = 0000 0000
SW9[1-8] = 0100 0000

1. use the SDK default address

The SBL flash to OSPI is successful, but there is no any print on the mcu uart console after change the boot mode to OSPI.

And I found that the generated sbl_cust_img_mcu1_0_release.tiimage size is greater than 256k. But the OSPI_LOCATION_SYSFW_BIN start address is 0x40000.

I think part of sbl_cust_img_mcu1_0_release.tiimage will be overwiter by tifs.bin. Is it the problem?

2. change the OSPI_LOCATION_SYSFW_BIN start address to 0x50000.

The SBL flash to OSPI is successful, but there is no any print on the mcu uart console after change the boot mode to OSPI.

3. Use sd card boot mode

sbl boot is successful.

Hi,

TI is not aware of any OSPI boot issues with the PSDK QNX 7.3 release.

Will attempt to reproduce the issue and will provide feedback.

Have any S/W changes been made, or is the default PSDK under test?

Hi kb,

Case 1 and Case 2 have no any change. use the default PSDK.

Case 2 change the OSPI_LOCATION_SYSFW_BIN start address to 0x50000.

Hi Kb,

Did you reproduce it? And I use the uniflash_6.3.0. Can I use this version? Does the EVM board need any other settings?

Hi Yun,

I too am having issues with the PSDK QNX 7.3 SBL OSPI boot, where SBL SD boot is working fine.

Will continue to investigate and let you know of any findings that are not specific to my build environment.

Hi Yun,

Can you please try the below modification and share results?

Modify file, ti-processor-sdk-rtos-j721e-evm-07_03_00_07/vision_apps/makerules/makefile_sbl.mak to use the following addresses:

With these settings, the SBL OSPI boot for QNX was functional in local SDK 7.3 testing.

Hi kb,

After that change from you, the MCU uart will show log "Invalid magic number in Single image header". Anything do I also need to change in the source code?

Hi Yun,

No source code changes should be necessary. Will double check my environment tomorrow, and re-test.

Hi Yun,

I retested SDK7.3 SDK with the below changes applied and did not see any issues.

Changes can be applied to ti-processor-sdk-rtos-j721e-evm-07_03_00_07/vision_apps/makerules/makefile_sbl.mak, same as above.

Please note there is an additional update in below patch to include the programming of the OSPI test pattern.

Hi KB,

I add the OSPI test pattern, but the result still same. It still show "Invalid magic number in Single image header" on MCU uart console.

Hi KB,

I retest it again. After update the test pattern patch, the SBL boot form OSPI is successful. Why I must flash the OSPI test pattern image?

Hi Yun

The OSPI test pattern is used as part of the OSPI tuning. The S/W algorithm follows recommendations at OSPI Tuning Procedure https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spract2.

The source code for this can be referenced at https://bitbucket.itg.ti.com/projects/PROCESSOR-SDK/repos/pdk/browse/packages/ti/board/src/flash/nor/ospi/nor_spi_phy_tune.c.

This code references the pattern from https://bitbucket.itg.ti.com/projects/PROCESSOR-SDK/repos/pdk/browse/packages/ti/board/src/flash/nor/ospi/nor_spi_patterns.c.
