[SC-MCSDK] u-boot hangs during startup

Hi all,

    I'm working on TCI6614EVM, with MCSDK 2.0.0.8 to start up the A8 of 6614.

    At first the board has u-boot on it and it can start up successfully from NAND.
    But after my testing, some private configuration, u-boot can not start up now.

    CCS can success to connect to EVM, and load u-boot image into RAM.
    But after PC is set to the corresponding address in RAM, u-boot can NOT start up sucessfully.
    HyperTerminal has the following trace:

U-Boot 2011.06 (May 05 2012 - 14:56:19)
I2C:   ready
DRAM:  3 GiB

     And sometimes it is as below:

U-Boot 2011.06 (May 05 2012 - 14:56:19)
I2C:   ready
DRAM:  512 MiB

    Then u-boot is hang. There is no output in HyperTerminal, the input can not either.
    From the CCS, the PC register is stopped at 0x00020030

    Is there anybody can help me? Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Nan

  • Hi Chad,

    Thanks for your reply!

    Currently I think I found something about the issue.
    The version of our SC-MCSDK is 2.0.0.8P1.

    From the release note of it, I found that for u-boot-tci6614-evm.bin and u-boot_hdr_tlr.bin, it is needed that “Replace the original file at <release-install-path>/ti/sc_mcsdk_linux_2_00_00_08/images/ with this version”.

    For the past tests, I used the old version bin files to download.
    So the u-boot start up issue should be the known issue as “SDOCM00092727 DDR corruption found on Beta-2 boards” which is fixed in 2.0.0.8p1 in my guess.

    Anyway I've pass this issue

    Thank you all the same!
