AM1808 NOR flashing failed

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM1808, OMAP-L138

Hi,

 

We are working with an AM1808 experimenter kit. We want to boot linux from NOR flash that is available on UI board.

In order to do that we followed the procedure that described here (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_OMAP-L138_DVEVM_Additional_Procedures#Flashing_images_to_NOR_Flash).

We use both CCS4.2 tool and serial flasher sfh_OMAP-L138.exe but it is not SUCCEEDED.

For Serial flasher use : we have the following error


DIP switches S7:7 and S7:8 ON, all others OFF

D:\Donnees\OpenEmbedded\>sfh_OMAP-L138.exe -flash -v -targetType AM1808 -flashType NOR -p COM1  arm-nor-ais.bin u-boot.bin
-----------------------------------------------------
Waiting for SFT on the OMAP-L138...
        Target: BOOTUBL
        Target:    DONE

Flashing UBL arm-nor-ais.bin (12672 bytes) at 0x00000000

        Target: CFI Query...failed.
        Target: NOR_open() failed!   FAIL


For CCS4.2 tool:

Before doing our configuration, the AM1808 EVM NOR TEST project is used to check NOR flash. The result of test is FAILED as following:

-----------------------------------------
error initializing nor: 3

********** AM-1808 TEST FAILED **********

Loading and running diagnostic script OMAPL1x_debug_v8 seems to give the right information concerning the boot choice that we need to do:

ARM9_0: GEL Output: ---------------------------------------------
ARM9_0: GEL Output: |               BOOTROM Info                |
ARM9_0: GEL Output: ---------------------------------------------
ARM9_0: GEL Output: ROM ID: d800k006
ARM9_0: GEL Output: Silicon Revision 2.0
ARM9_0: GEL Output: Boot pins: 30
ARM9_0: GEL Output: Boot Mode: Emulation Debug

Loading nor-flash-writer (norflash-writer.out) and running in CCS is not also succeeded

Starting DA850/OMAP-L138 NOR Flash Writer.
DA850/OMAP-L138 part detected. Its an ARM boot device
    You require two images to boot this device
    1) ARM UBL in AIS file format.
    2) U-Boot image in raw binary format
To generate the AIS format file, you need to run the ARM/DSP .out (COFF) file generated from CCS build through the AISGen tool.
CFI Query...failed.
    ERROR: NOR Initialization failed.
    NOR flashing failed!
    
    
Is there miss configuration?


Why can we not use the parallel NOR flash on the board?

Any help please.

Best regards

Thanks
