fail to obtain SoC prompt of Hawkings board

Hi Atsushi,

Thanks for your reply.

When first time I had started the board with DIP sw 0010, I was able to see two promts i.e SoC and BMC.

On SoC I was able to get below mentioned prompt -

TCI6638 EVM #

And on BMC it was -

BMC >

I have executed some of the commands to boot second stage UBOOT (serverip, ipaddr etc), but it was not copying image from tftp.

(TCI6638 EVM # tftp 0xc300000 u-boot-spi-keystone-evm.gph)

I did this several times but was facing same problem.

But after sometime without any clue, on I was not getting UBoot prompt on USB0.

I can still see BMC> promt on USB1 serial port.

It will be really helpful if you guide to tackle this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Atsushi,

By mistake I clicked  on "Yes" Button.

Still waiting for your reply.

Vishal,

I don't have the EVM in my hand, so I can't evaluate it now, but please follow the procedure below.  Please refer the User Guide in the MCSDK too.

1. Boot EVM at non-boot mode (DIP: 0001).
2. Connect CCS to the target.
3. Open the first ARM core and connect to it.
4. Tools -> Load memory, and select the image in the distribution "C:\ti\mcsdk_linux_3_00_xx_yy\images\u-boot-keystone-evm.bin" and load it at 0x0c001000 by 32-bit mode.
5. Set ARM core PC (Program Counter) to the same address 0x0c001000.
6. Resume the execution by the green triangle button on the CCS.
7. U-Boot prompt should appear on the serial terminal.

If it did not work, could you please refer the section "Loading U-Boot with CCS" in the MCSDK User Guide (on the page 20 for the version which I refer).

It the above steps work, you should burn U-Boot into the Flash.  Please refer the User Guide again.

Atsushi,

I have followed above steps but not succeeded, some queries 

1. How will I know that Uboot download is completed ?

You mentioned that "U-Boot prompt should appear on the serial terminal"

2. But for this we have to change DIP sw setting as 0010 or not ?

3. To connect CCS I have connected mini USB cable to eInfochips daughter card, for serial port do I need to connect one more USB to base card ?

Hi Atsushi,

Thanks for info.

I will try this procedure and will let you know about results.

Atsushi,

Thanks for help, I can see SoC prompt now with No Boot Mode.

But when I removed CCS connection and when tried to boot in NOR SPI Boot mode, Its not showing SoC prompt.

I am referring  MCSDK User Guide:Exploring the MCSDK

Do I need to build all below mentioned files ?

u-boot.bin

u-boot-spl.bin

u-boot.img

u-boot-spi.gph

Regards,

Vishal 

I got all the files from release folder.

Hi Atsushi,

I am referring  MCSDK User Guide:Exploring the MCSDK

In the section:

**************************************************************************************************

Loading and running U-Boot on EVM through SPI boot (single stage)

Burning U-Boot to SPI Flash

This section assumes that u-boot is booted up and running on EVM, e.g. using CCS (see section above)

Load u-boot.bin to memory to be saved to SPI flash through CCS

* Have a copy of u-boot.bin ready in a directory on host PC running CCS
* Start and connect CCS to ARM core 0
* CCS > Run > "Suspend" 
* CCS > Tools > Load Memory > browse to the copy of u-boot.bin and load it to address 0x0c300000
* CCS > Run > "Resume"
where 0x0c300000 is an example address to temporarily keep the u-boot.bin image.

Now a copy of u-boot.bin is loaded to 0x0c300000.

At the u-boot prompt:

• Format the u-boot.bin image loaded in memory to SPI boot format

***************************************************************************************************

My question is the file u-boot.bin and file  u-boot-keystone-evm.bin are same or different ?

If different, then How can I get the file u-boot.bin ?

I dont have the below files:

u-boot.bin

u-boot-spl.bin

u-boot.img

u-boot-spi.gph

But I have only the below files:

u-boot-keystone-evm.bin

u-boot-spl-keystone-evm.bin

u-boot-keystone-evm.img

u-boot-spi-keystone-evm.gph

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks,

Vishal.

Hi Atsush ,

Greetings !!!

I assumed same and worked further and successfully tested board.

I have also loaded linux kernal on board.

Thank you very much for your help.

Really appreciated.
