TDA4VM: DDR4 memory test

David Dominguez Moises
Intellectual 570 points
Part Number: TDA4VM


Hi,

We are working on a custom board for TDA4VM using the same DDR4 memory as in the EVM. To validate our design (specially due to PCB routing) we would like to know if there is any SW tool that can provide some insight on its performance. 

Any advise on how to validate our design will be appreciated.

Either SDK 7.3 or 8.0 can be used for this.

Thanks,

David

    Hi David,

    Regarding software tools, the Linux SDK should include memtester which could be executed. I am not aware of any other software tools that get wrapped into deliverables published on ti.com at this time.

    Do you have a local field application engineer supporting you?

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Hi Kevin, thanks for this information. Where can I find documentation on how to run memtester?

    Right now we don't have a local field engineer to support this specific project, so any information that you can share form this tool form SDK will be very useful.

    Thanks,
    David

    Hi David,

    You can call memtester from the command line, passing the memory size and number of iterations as arguments. If you leave the number of iterations blank, I believe it should loop endlessly. 

    memtester <MEMORY_SIZE> [ITERATIONS]

    Ex: >> memtester 1G 10
