TDA3: Flashing SD Card sample code in network_ctrl

Khai Trinh

Part Number: TDA3

Hi,

I tried to upload (flash) the SD card with new TDA3 AppImage suing the network_ctrl tools from a Linux machine. I used ./network_ctrl.out --ipaddr 192.168.4.200 --cmd mmc_wr_appimage AppImage. Although it said it's successfully flashed the image onto the SD Card, but i didn't work. The AppImage I provided to have a different file size than the one on the card. I dug further into the issue and found that the handler fileIOCmdHandler() in the network_ctrl_handle_mmc_wr.c file wasn't called. I then tried to debug it by putting a break point in this c file of the fileIOCmdHandler() in the debugger. Then I got the image below even though I loaded the symbol files for IPU1_0 and IPU1_1. I ised IPU1_1 to handle network traffic while I supposed IPU1_0 will handle the SDcard write.

Thank you,

Hi Khai,

You can try putting the breakpoint in the disassembly window of CCS after searching for the function fileIOCmdHandler(). Meanwhile I will try to reproduce the setup on my side and see what might be the issue.

Hi Khai,

Also, are you using a TI EVM? If yes, there is a limitation in the EVM that FATFS cannot be used while NDK is enabled due to MMCSD conflict with RGMII0. To use MMCSD and NDK together, RGMII1 daughter board needs to be used. This applies only for the EVM, not for TDA3xx-RVP or the Starter Kit. Let me know if this is the issue.

Anand

Hi Anand,

I am only using TDA3xx-RVP.

Thanks for the support.

Hi Khai,

Can you please run "make showconfig" in /vision_sdk/build folder and attach the log here?

Hi Khai,

As I can see from your make config, for FATFS_PROC_TO_USE, the option selected is none. The correct option should be ipu1_0. Please go to /vision_sdk/apps/configs/tda3xx_rvp_bios_radar/cfg.mk and change the value of FATFS_PROC_TO_USE to ipu1_0. After this you should rebuild vision_sdk and load it again. Please let me know if this solved the issue, so that I can close the thread. :)

Regards,
Anand

HI Anand,

Enable FATFS_PROC_TO_USE=ipu1_0 went further but crashed at line below.

I debugged further and found out the fileIOPrms->fileName, fileIOPrms->fileMode are corrupted and thus File_open() failed and crashed. I also found out that calling

gDataBuf = Utils_memAlloc(
UTILS_HEAPID_DDR_CACHED_SR,
NETWORKCTRL_APP_IMAGE_FILE_SIZE,
8);

in NetworkCtrl_cmdHandlerMmcsdWrite_proxy() function triggered a call into fileIOCmdHandler() which is an unknown and unexpected behavior.

Thanks,

Hi Khai,

Thank you for going further in debug. This is indeed quite strange, as file_open should happen only after all filePrms are initialized. You can see that in the network_ctrl_handle_mmc_wr_proxy.c file. I don't know if you have tried this, but can you put a breakpoint around line 123, function System_linkControl(). And see if the params getting passed are correct or not. Also, please try doing the basic file I/O tests under miscellaneous in the UART menu and confirm that file read/write works properly. I was not able to see this issue in my setup. Anyways, I'll try once again from my side.

Regards,
Anand

Hi Khai,

It's been a while since I have heard from you :) Where you able to run the file I/O example? Also, did you have any luck in stepping through System_linkControl() function?

Anand

Hi Anand,

Thanks for checking in. Accessing SD card is not required feature for us at the moment. But I haven't had a chance to retest it. It might still be an option for us going forward. I'll get back to you when the requirement surfaces.

Thanks,

Okay :). So I believe this thread can be closed for now then?
