Problem while booting

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3517, DM3730, FLASHTOOL

Hi,

  I am using AM3517. I am not able to boot and I have already tested NAND and DDR2 interfaces. NAND is same as in the EVM board. DDR2 has more memory (512Mb) and neccesory modification for increased DDR memory and internal oscillator has done. when i try to boot from flash tool it displays the message as bellow

¯ chip_download NAND C:\T32\MLO

¯ Leaving parameter file:temp_script.txt

¯ @temp_script.txt

¯ Looking for device (omap com1)

¯ Please turn off device, then turn it on again

¯ Awaiting ASIC id

please help me in this regard.

  • Srikanth:

    This usually means something is not right in the configuration_custom_am35xx.txt file.

    Is there anything different in your hardware that may need different register settings?

    Have you tried using 13MHz SYSCLK (26 MHZ osc div 2) and 26MHZ SYSCLK (26 MHZ osc div 1)?

    Regards,

  • I'm also encoutering this issue with v1.6, do you have any update ?

  • Justfora:

    Since you have a larger SDRAM, you could change the configuration in omapflash2nd.txt to use a different 2nd loader binary

    that is designed for 2Gbit SDRAM.   In this file:

    C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\Flash v1.6\omapflash2nd.txt

    Change "dnld_startup_omap3_gp_2g.2nd" to "dnld_startup_omap3_gp_4g.2nd", as shown below:

    CUSTOM_AM35XX_BOARD 343007 58 GP Targets\2nd-Downloaders\dnld_startup_omap3_gp_4g.2nd -pheriphalboot_reopen -board_config Targets\Configurations\configuration_custom_am35xx.txt

    This 2nd loader binary is linked to be loaded into the very high end of a 4Gbit (512MB) SDRAM (actually DDR2) so that

    the 2nd loader does not get in the system's way.

  • Hi,Michael T :
    I have got the same question,and my CPU is DM3730,and NAND flash: MT29C4G96 if a Multi chip packge, of 512MB NAND & 512MB DDR.
    Now,I want to erase the flash by flashtool V1.06,but can not sussess.
    I have changed the dnld_startup_omap3_gp_2g.2nd" to "dnld_startup_omap3_gp_4g.2nd" already.
    The display messages as bellow:
    where others of the configures that I must change?

    please help me,Thank you very much ,in advance.
