Need help with flashing OMAP3530 board

Smokensparks

Hi,

My customer has the following question:

"I can successfully flash the Mistral's EVM2 board through UART3 using TI EVMFlash 2.0 utility.  However, I got an error "Failed to connect to target" when flashing our custom board.  I have the same configurations for SYS_BOOT pins on both EVM2 and my custom board.

During the download, I monitored the ASIC ID that is transmitted by the OMAP processors out of UART3 and saw that the data are the same from both boards.  After that, the boot message and size of image  transmitted by the EVMFlash utility  in response to the ASIC ID are also the same.  The image is then transferred by the EVMFlash utility.  For our board, in the middle of transferring the image, the error occurs and the transfer is stopped. "

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick

    Hello Rick,

    Could you please confirm if you are using the exact same memory parts as the Mistral EVM2? If the memory parts are different you would be required to modify the settings accordingly.

    Hi Punya,

    Response from my customer:

    We do not use the exact  same part -  the NAND flash on the Mistral EVM2 is a PoP part ( MT29C2G48MAKLCJI-6 IT ); the NAND flash on our board is not a PoP (MT29F2G16ABDHC).  However, both are 2Gb from Micron.

    I do not see any device-specific settings on the TI EVMFlash utility.

    The error that I got when attempting to erase the flash on our custom board using the TI EVMFlash utility is below :

    Download [11:10:48]: [00] dl_connecting.cpp ( 520): Verification of target connectivity (LL) timed out. Disconnecting.
    Download [11:10:48]: [00] dl_disconnected.cpp (  49): Dl connect operation failed. Error code: 0xFFFFFFFD

    Attempting to download to RAM also yields the same error messages.


    Do you know if the TI EVMFlash utility can work for our flash or  another utility that can?

    Rick,

    We have a new flashing tool which currently supports OMAP35x and AM37x.

    User guide: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Flash_v1.0_User_Guide

    Download from: https://gforge.ti.com/gf/project/flash

     

    This tool supports all ONFI-compliant NAND devices. Please contact Greg Guyotte for further questions.

     

    Thank you.

     

    Regards,
