AM6548: EEPROM Test Failed

Part Number: AM6548

We are utilizing a custom design with the AM6548. We are running the default tests on the Diagnostic SD card that ships with the IDK evaluation kit:

*********************************************
* EEPROM Test *
*********************************************

CP Board:
Test Failed
EEPROM Test Failed
Finished running àíp, result failed!

According to this page: https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-rtos/esd/docs/latest/rtos/index_board.html#diagnostic-applications

The EEPROM it is testing should be preprogrammed with Board information, and with no information present, it will fail the test.

My question is, are these assumptions valid and if so, how can we program the EEPROM to contain the board information?

  • My question is, are these assumptions valid and if so, how can we program the EEPROM to contain the board information?

    What are you trying to use the EEPROM for? Most custom designs don't have the EEPROM to optimize BOM/cost, as most board-specific customizations are done by board-porting U-Boot. One potential use case could be to store additional MAC addresses or other items. So this is really entirely dependent on your application.
