6670 LXE + air cipher test [ SA_UnitTest_w3gpp_testProject ]...hangs in error mode [when evm is in ethernet boot mode]



Hi Ti Folks,

                  I am using 6670 LXE evm + SA_UnitTest_w3gpp_testProject runnning on it. Here are two observations. Running in JTAG mode

1. with boot mode set to Ethernet Mode [plz refer http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TMDXEVM6670L_EVM_Hardware_Setup]. The examples runs into infinite loop and never comes out of it.

2. with No boot, the example SA_UnitTest_w3gpp_testProject works perfectly. 

I spent some good amount of time trying to find out why SA_UnitTest_w3gpp_testProject is not working and i finally traced out to switch settings [= ethernet boot mode settings].

Can i know how or why ethernet boot mode switch settings affect SA_UnitTest_w3gpp_testProject or SA.

Thanks

  • RC,

    In no-boot mode, the GEL script is run by default when connecting core 0 from CCS. In EMAC boot mode, the gel is not run. So you need to do “system reset” then run “Default setup” to put device into known state by GEL.

  • Hi,

        Thanks for your mail. Reset/restart/power cycle of the board, i am taking care during every run, still it runs into problem [to describe a little more clear, a packet is sent to 646 queue to SA and there is no reply from SA..in other words the polling fails on the qmss queue for the returned packet from SA].

    mmm..i will get more info on this [after doing more analysis from my side, will get back to you], for time being i will move off from this issue. Thanks for your reply.

    Thanks
