AM572x IDK SPI Flash Problem

What software is this?

Biser,

I believe this would be PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-AM57X v3.00.00 (Linux Kernel v4.4.12)

- David

Thanks, I will notify the software team.

Dave,

So, if he saves them, and then reads them back immediately, do they look right?

If so, then he reboots and the environment is not what is expected?

Can you post a log trace of these operations?

Thanks.

Ron

After he reads them once saved they don't look correct. Also below are the changes that was done to u-boot source. Not sure if we have to change other stuff on the u-boot source.

I can get you the serial output of the commands in uboot also if you want.

I hve added this to my am57xx_evm.h config file
#define CONFIG_SPI_BOOT
#if defined(CONFIG_SPI_BOOT)
# undef CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
# define CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH
# define CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED
# define CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET 0x1D0000
# define CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE (4 << 10) /* 4 KB sectors */
#endif  /*SPI support*/

Regards

Mohsen

sorry i forgot to add the other stuff below is what he has in the am57xx_evm.h

Got more info and exactly what is going on. When i do a saveenv it says it worked fine. Once i boot again i get a CRC error when it reads the env from the QSPI flash. Sounds like that the CRC routine when used for the QSPI env might be the issue but not sure. I have included the changes that i had to do to the am57xx_evm.h file below also.

=> saveenv

Any help would be great.
