SK-AM62: MCU+ SDK: Missing Device Manager (DM) logs on WKUP UART for GP board

Part Number: SK-AM62
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: , SYSCONFIG

Hello TI Experts,

I am currently working with two AM62x evaluation modules: the SK-AM62B-P1 (HS_FS) and the SK-AM62 (GP).

I am encountering an issue regarding Device Manager (DM) trace logs. Under the exact same R5F project, the HS_FS board successfully outputs DM logs via the WKUP UART, but the GP board does not print any DM logs on the WKUP UART.

Please note that both boards successfully output TIFS logs on UART1 and standard application logs on UART0.

Environment Details:

  • MCU+ SDK Version: 11.02.00.23

  • CCS Version: 2051

  • SysConfig Version: 1.24.2+4234

  • Host OS: Windows 11

Steps Taken:

Following the SYSFW Trace API Guide, I enabled the SYSFW_TRACE_ENABLE macro in the following file:

mcu_plus_sdk_am62x_11_02_00_23\source\drivers\device_manager\sciclient.h

I also made sure to enable all trace_src_enables and trace_dst_enables.

I then compiled the projects for each board using the following commands:

For HS_FS Board:

gmake -s -C tools/sysfw/boardcfg SOC=am62x DEVICE_TYPE=HS
gmake -s all PROFILE=release -j32
gmake -s all PROFILE=debug -j32

For GP Board:

gmake -s -C tools/sysfw/boardcfg SOC=am62x
gmake -s all PROFILE=release -j32
gmake -s all PROFILE=debug -j32

Could you please advise if there are any specific configurations or boardcfg differences required for the GP device to properly route or enable the DM logs to the WKUP UART?

Thank you very much for your time and support!

  • Hi,

    I will test this at my end once and get back to you.

    Best Regards,

    Meet.

  • Hi,

    Hope you are doing well.

    I just wanted to follow up and see if you were able to replicate the issue on your side. Please let me know if you need any further logs, SysConfig files, or project configurations from my end to help with the testing.

    Thanks again for your time and assistance!

    Best Regards,

    Long.

  • Hi Long,

    I will update my observations by tomorrow, meanwhile could you please connect to all 4 UART Ports and share what do you observe on these ports, because it is not expected that DM logs are not printed if you see TIFS logs printed.

    Best Regards,

    Meet.

  • Hi Meet,

    Please allow me to update my latest observations.

    Initially, MCU_UART0 had no output. To investigate further, I modified the R5F project to redirect the WKUP UART output to MCU_UART0. After doing this, I found that the DM logs started printing successfully on MCU_UART0.

    Furthermore, while the lpm_trace_logbuf prints are still completely missing from the MCU_UART0 console output, I have successfully connected via CCS and inspected the memory address 0x7800 directly. I can confirm that the lpm_trace_logbuf data is fully present and visible in the memory at 0x7800.

    This indicates that the LPM framework is executing correctly and generating the logs in memory, but they are somehow failing to format or route to the MCU_UART0  console on the GP device.

    Here is the current log distribution on the GP board after switching the port to MCU_UART0:

    1. Soc_UART1 (TIFS Trace)

    Outputs standard TIFS trace logs :

    Question for your team:

    Given that changing the port configuration to MCU_UART0 brings up the DM logs on the GP device, but the identical project outputs them on the WKUP UART on the HS_FS device:

    1. Is there a known difference in the default DM/SYSFW trace routing logic between the GP and HS_FS firmware variants for AM62x?

    2. Why are the lpm_trace_logbuf prints still missing from the MCU_UART0 console on the GP board?

    Best Regards,

    Long.
