TWO NAND FLASHES ON AM3703 Board

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3703

Hi all:

we are facing a nand issue in our custom AM3703 board,

given below:

I am working with Micron MT29F16G08CBACA . with Am3703 controller.

i am facing an issue ,if first page of the block included for
programming and reading  I am getting read error:  
                                NAND read from offset0 failed -74 .

if i exclude the first page, the  read and write succeeds for all the
remaining pages of all blocks (excluding bad blocks).

please let me know if  you have any idea why read is failing when
including the first page of the block?


The below gives the configuration details for your reference.


GPMC configuration is as below.

#define MICRON_NAND_GPMC_CONFIG1                0x00000800
#define MICRON_NAND_GPMC_CONFIG2                0x00141400
#define MICRON_NAND_GPMC_CONFIG3                0x00141400
#define MICRON_NAND_GPMC_CONFIG4                0x0F010F01
#define MICRON_NAND_GPMC_CONFIG5                0x010C1414
#define MICRON_NAND_GPMC_CONFIG6                0x1F0F0A80
#define MICRON_NAND_GPMC_CONFIG7                0x00000844

and we are using CS7 for micron nand.

#define PAGE_SIZE_MLC                   4096
#define BLOCK_SIZE_MLC                  (PAGE_SIZE_MLC * 256)
#define ERASE_SIZE                      BLOCK_SIZE_MLC


//Micron Nand Details
{"NAND 2GiB 3,3V 8-bit",        0x48, 4096 , 2048, 0x100000 , LP_OPTIONS}



Erase function : nand_erase_opts(nand, &opts);

Write function : nand_write_skip_bad(nand, off_page, &size, (u_char
*)addr);

Read function  : nand_read_skip_bad(nand, off_page, &size, (u_char
*)addr);


I am able to erase all the blocks and it will return success and also i
cross-verified by reading the bytes and it shows 0xff.

if i starts  writing the data  from first page of the block even though
write succeeds but the read returns
                                NAND read from offset 0 failed -74.

I skipped write and read operation for the first page and tested the
remaining pages of all the blocks it is working fine ,also i
cross-verified the data by comparing the read bytes.
