AM5728: Module load error

What software is this? Which version? Which board?

EcMasterDemo of AM572X i builded in the CCS6.1.3 the binaries i got flashed into the TI AM5728 IDK board. When i checked the output onto the Teraterm am getting the error.

Swarna

Is this Linux or RTOS? Which version? Where did you get this EcMasterDemo from?

I got the EcMasterDemo from the Acontis site EcMaster Eval2.9.

Thanks. The EtherCAT experts have been notified. They will respond here.

Hello Swarna,

For me it is not clear, what have you done. At Acontis site, there is no EcMasterDemo.out file. Which file has you flashed? Do you really flashed or just coppied to SD card?

Teraterm is not a compiler. How have you compiled with it? Could you please attach whole Teraterm output log?

Thanks,

Hi Vladimir,


From acontis site i got EcmasterDemo application form EcMatser v2.9 and i builded in CCS6.1.3 then in binaries i got the EcMasterDemo.out file . I renamed it to APP and along with MLO of AM572X i copied into the SDCARD and tried to boot in the AM5728 IDK Board and trying to see in the Teraterm console am getting the error of "INVALID MAGIC NUMBER ".
Presently i don't have the board so that i can send logs.Sorry for that inconvinence.


Thanks,
Swarna.

Hi Swarna, in order to use SD card you need to create convert .out to a binary which has the correct headers. But maybe easier, if, as a first step, you use a JTAG connection.  You can connect your IDK AM572x board using an USB/uUSB cable and configuring in CCS your target configuration connection to XDS100v2 (attached snapshot)

thank you,

Paula

Vladimir,

As we can use CPSW ports ,I want to see how it works with ICSS ports. Can i know how we can get binaries from acontis site ? Is there a possibility to get binaries from Acontis site?

Thanks,
Swarna

Hi Paula ,

I just renamed the .out file to APP and copied to SDCARD is that the correct way? I didn't convereted to a binary i just renamed!!

Hi Paula,

Is there a necessary to create APP and MLO ? Can't we use the MLO which is already present in the PDK of AM57X?

Thanks and Regards,
Swarna

Hi Swarna, you will create your "app" from your EC-Master application .out. But you can reuse MLO from PDK
thank you,
Paula

Hi Paula,


I used the MLO from the PDK and after building the application in CCS 6.1.3 i got the EcMasteDemo.out i renamed it to app and copied to SDCard . In my SDCard i have APP,MLO and CONFIG Files .When am trying to boot SDCard on the AM5728 IDK Board am getting the INVALID MAGIC NUMBER error?What could be the exact reason for the error? Am a newbie for such things ,even after a lots of search i couldn't find the answer for the INVALID MAGIC NUMBER error , could you please help me ?


Thanks,
Swarna

Thanks Rahul,

I got your point that i have to generate APP from thePdkAPImage script and am following the link that you have sent.But the problem is , i cannot the find this particular path APP_MPU_CPU0=%TI_PDK_INSTALL_DIR%\packages\ti\boot\sbl\binary\idkAM572x\example\armv7\bin\sbl_app.out in my PDK

no path i.e., example\armv7\bin\ is not there in the pdk_am57xx_1_0_4 , so i created the example ,armv7 and bin folders. Is that the correct way?

Do i have to change the path in the batch file i.e., in the AM57xImageGen.bat ?

Thanks and Regards,
Swarna.

Thanks Paula,

Following your steps i got the APP file . Thank you so much. It helped me alot. :)

Thanks and Regards,
Swarna

HI Paula,

After following your steps am getting the APP file and able to boot the SDCard and am editing the path of APP_MPU_CPU0 in the batch file after reset on the board am getting the following
" SD Boot - file open completed successfully
Jumping to MPU CPU0 Application..."

Am following the below guide in the link
www.ti.com/.../tidubz1b.pdf

according to that guide i have to get logs in the console but am getting only the following lines
" SD Boot - file open completed successfully
Jumping to MPU CPU0 Application..."

What could be the problem of missing logs?Is there any problem in the binaries?

Thanks and Regards,
Swarna.

Rahul,

Am using the MLO from the AM57XX PDK .Am using only the AM5728 IDK Master board no slave boards.Am getting logs as above.But i have to get the logs as mentioned in the guide EtherCAT® Master Reference Design for Sitara™ AM57x.

Thanks,

Swarna

Hi Swarna, please confirm you are using MLO from the PDK version you used for building the application (I believe you used pdk_am57xx_1_0_4). Also, I have seen this behaviour before, but after pressing "warm reset" in the board things usually come up OK.

Thank you,

Paula 

Hi Paula , I used the MLO from the  pdk_am57xx_1_0_4. Even after the warm reset am not the getting the logs as in the guide. What could be the exact problem?

Thanks,

Swana

Hi Paula,

I checked with the pre-build app from the ethercat slave.i got the logs as you mentioned.

**** PDK SBL ****
**** Copying Application Image to DDR ****

 SD Boot - file open completed successfully
Jumping to MPU CPU0 Application...

Version - Ethercat Slave 1.0.1.0
Board name      : AM572IDK
Chip Revision   : 1.3BEtherCAT Device

SYS/BIOS EtherCAT Demo application3.3.0boardName: AM572IDK

But when trying the my app even after the wam reset  am getting the logs as

**** PDK SBL ****
**** Copying Application Image to DDR ****

 SD Boot - file open completed successfully
Jumping to MPU CPU0 Application...

This is the problem am facing ! I dont know where to find the solution .Could you please help me how to display the logs?

Thanks,

Swarna

Hi Swarna, it seems there is something wrong with your EcMasterDemo binary (app). By the way, did you try to run EcMasterDemo.out using JTAG as I recommended before?

thank you,
Paula

Hi Paula ,

I tried running Ecmaster.out using JTAG and seen the output logs in the CCS console.

I followed the below steps to see the output on the console .

Create a target configuration
(a) Navigate to View→Target Configuration.
(b) Right-click New Target Configuration
(c) Create a file name (for example, AM572x_IDK.ccxml)
(d) Set the connection to XDS100v2 USB Emulator for the onboard JTAG
NOTE: The onboard JTAG is slow. If possible, TI recommends using an external JTAG such as
a Spectrum Digital XDS560v2 STM USB.
(e) Set the board or device to AM572x
(f) Click Target Configuration and select Cortex-A15_0
(g) Enter the initialization script as follows: ..\..\emulation\boards\am572x\gel\idk_am572x.gel
(h) Click the Save button
(i) Right-click AM572x_IDK.ccxml to launch the configuration
(j) Right-click CortexA15_0 to connect to the target
(k) Click Scripts→Default
(l) Click OnTargetConnect_API
(m) Click on Load Program, and then click Browse Project
(n) Click EcMasterDemo
(o) Click on Debug or Release
(p) Click EcMasterDemo.out
(q) Click the Resume button


I loaded the program of Ecmasterdemo.out of DEBUG configuration. After doing this control going to the main function then it is stopping nothing is displayed on the console.

When i checked with the few PRINTF statements i goto know there is a function (Board_init) called but the function is not present. In the memory mapthe function is located in the PDK (pdk_am57xx_1_0_5) which is not installed in my PC . How the memory map can link the PDK which is not present in my PC? Memory map is created only when the build is successful Even if the PDK present in memory map is not present how can be the build successful?Can u please help me out?

Thanks and Regards,
Swarna

Hi Swarna, maybe PDK path is pointing to the wrong version?, attached snapshot example. If so, no sure how the project can be built, but any how please check and rebuild and let us know.

thank you,

Paula

Hi Paula ,

When  i changed the PDK path am getting the following logs while debugging.

Can you say what is the defect?

Thanks and Regards,

Swarna

Hi Paula,

Can you please help me out ? During JTAG Debugging after loading the program from the EcMasterDemo.out. The control going to main function then to the Function BOARD_INIT() then it is stopping I don't see any logs anything I cannot understand where the control going to ? How to check the control flow using JTAG Debugging?

Thanks & Regards,

Swarna.

Hi Paula,

While using JTAG-Debugging and debugging step by step when the control going to the BOARD_INIT() Function am getting the error as CortexA15_0: Unhandled ADP_Stopped exception 0x20023

How to handle this error?

Thanks and Regards,
Swarna

Hi Swarna, apologize my delayed response, I was out of office for few days, and only now I can take a look to this.

From acontis - TI processor web page I tried EC-Master-V2.9.0.06-SYSBIOS_AM57x-Protected package (which works on AM572x CPWS port (J12). My observations below.

- In order to compile it, I used PDK 1.0.2 and changed the location path for files: AM57x_board.c, I2C_soc.c, and UART_soc.c, from "C:\TI\tirex-contex\pdk_am57xx_1_0_2" to "C:\TI\pdk_am57xx_1_0_2". This is due to my CCS "TI_PRODUCTS_DIR" points to "C:\TI\tirex-contex". Note: in order to change a project file path, do right click on the file, go to properties, Resource and "Edit.." location

- In order to run it correctly, I changed MasterENI.c file, so it can work with my slave (I used an AM335x as EtherCAT slave)

- I Connected slave to J12 (CPSW Gb Ethernet1 port)

After these changes I was able to build and run EtherCAT master on AM572x IDK CPSW port.

However, when trying to run the demo using PRU-ICSS emllICSS lib (from EC-Master-ICSS-V2.9.0.06-SYSBIOS_AM57x-Protected package). I faced some issues.

- First I added "LINKLAYER_ICSS" in the project properties -> Build -> Symbols -> Define symbols.  

- Second I added "emllICSS" library on Project properties -> GNU Linker -> Libraries

- Then I build the project. But I got some errors due to some a PDK mismatch (emllICSS used PDK1.0.4 and EC-Master from EC-Master-V2.9.0.06-SYSBIOS_AM57x-Protected package uses PDK1.0.2).

Let touch bases with acontis, in order to see how we can align this, the options that I can see is updating EC-Master project to work with PDK1.0.4, or to create another EC-Master package for PRU-ICSS .

In the meantime, do you think you can use EC-Master w/ CPSW port instead?

thank you,

Paula

 

Hi Paula,

Thanks for the response but I need AM5728 to be work in the PRU-ICSS Debug mode .
I did including the symbol LINKLAYER_ICSS and tired with the updated PDK eventhough am not getting the correct logs .Can you please tell me how to start and what is correct procedure?

Thanks & Regards,
Swarna

Hi Swarna, could you please send me your project, so I can try to reproduce your issue in my setup?

thank you,

Paula

Hi Paula,

I tried uisng the CPSW ports am getting the correct logs .But i need the logs in PRU-ICSS .Am using the PDK1.0.4.
The following is the link i downloaded the application
www.acontis.com/.../ethercat.html

Could you please check and solve the issue?

Thanks and Regards,
Swarna

Hi Swarna, let me align with acontis and come back to you soon.
thank you,
Paula

Hi Paula ,
Thanks for helping . Can you please inform me as soon as you find the solution which helps me alot.

Thanks & Regards,
Swarna

Hi Paula ,

Thanks for the help and guidance i builded the application usIng PDK 1.00.02 and i got the binaries but while debugging using XDS100v2 JTAG debugger . I need to get the logs like below  but am getting the logs as

While debugging it is stopping at the file HWI.C

After this LED'S on the left of my IDK board are getting off.What could be actual problem? Is the IDK board fault or any fault during building?

Thanks & Regards,

Swarna

Hi Swarna,

do you have call stack?

Thanks,

    Vladimir

Hi Swarna, we could try to debug this, but really it is strange as it works for me.. Could you please have a fresh setup, meaning downloading again from acontis "EC-Master-ICSS-V2.9.0.06-SYSBIOS_AM57x-Protected" and "EC-Master-V2.9.0.06-SYSBIOS_AM57x-Protected" and then apply the changes suggested in my previous post?

Thank you,

Paula
