Flashing Micron NAND 29F16G08DAA

support for large block NAND devices has been added to RBL v 1.2; parts with this RBL version should be available already.

You can check RBL version by reading address 0x9FFC

ROM ID: 0x10040101 (Rev 1.1)ROM ID: 0x10040102 (Rev 1.2)

Our documentation (e.g. ARM Subsystem Guide list NAND device compatible with RBL) will be updates soon, but in case you want to plan ahead, below is a list of supported big block NAND devices. 

  {0xF1,      0x99},    /* 128 MB - Big Block */
    {0xA1,      0x99},     /* 128 MB - Big Block */
    {0xAA,      0x9A},     /* 256 MB - Big Block */
    {0x2CDA,  0x9A},     /* Micron: MT29F2G08AAB, Size 256 MB - Big Block */
    {0xAC,      0x9A},    /* 512 MB - Big Block */
    {0x2CDC,  0x9A},     /* Micron: MT29F4G08BAB, MT29F8G08FAB Size 512 MB - Big Block */
    {0xB1,      0x99},     /* 128 MB - Big Block 0x22B1 */
    {0xC1,      0x99},     /* 128 MB - Big Block 0x22C1 */
    {0xADD3,  0x9A},    /* HYNIX: HY27UH08AG5M, HY27UH08AGDM 2 GB - Big Block 0x22D3 */
    {0xECD3,  0xDE},   /*SAMSUNG: 1 GB - Big Block MLC NAND */

I hope this helps!

Correction.  large block NAND support will not be added until RBL 1.3 scheduled to be out in approximately 5 months.  Please disregard prior post.

Juan,

         Opened memory window in CCS and displayed location 0x9FFC to check for RBL version.

         Do not see ROM ID as you indicated

This is in DM355, correct?  I have not tried this myself, but I believe others have.  Are you using a GEL file to connect to DM355 via CCS? What do you see at this address?

Juan,

         This is for the DM6446.   Still working on getting the nandwriter working.

         Reading through posts regarding the RBL.   Want to confirm the RBL version on my

        TMS320DM6446 board and its compatibility with the Micron Big Block NAND we are using.

        (MT29F1G08ABBHC, which is listed as supported NAND).

         Also want to be able to dump IRAM after writing nandwriter to confiirm the UBL has been

        loaded properly.   Tried looking at locations 0x00000020 and did not see the magic number.

        In addition to that need to confirm that the ECC's are being written properly into the spare

       bytes region.   According to the documentation sprue14b   there are 4, 4 bytes ECCs at locations

       8h,18h,28h, and 38h.   All need to be initialized in big endian order.

        Have not verified that the nandwriter has initialized all four ECC's as required.

                                                                                                  Jerry

the '0x9FFC' listed above is for DM355 only; I do not belive there have been many changes to DM6446 RBL over the last year or two, but let me see if I can find a similar address for DM6446

Juan,

             In addition to the RBL version display address,  I should be able to display the ubl contents

            in IRAM after running nandwriter at location 0x00000020?

            Nandwriter  is supposed to be loading ubl and u-boot.bin.

           Nandwriter shows that it completed successfully but  hyperterminal shows BOOTME.

           When I display 0x00000020 after running nandwriter(and before hyperterminal) I do not

           see the UBL signature displayed.

                                                                                            Jerry

Can you see the UBL in NAND using CCS?

Juan,

                Run "nandwriter".   The output is listed below.

                Also listed memory starting at 0x00000000.

NAND boot preparation was successful!

Juan,

             Our company  is considering replacing the existing big block nand with small block nand

              given the problems we have been having with it.

             We just upgraded to the MV 5.0 release and it looks like it works with the big block nand.

              We have already modified DVFlasher and it works with BBN.

             Seems like the industry is moving towards BBN.

             Not sure if the nandwriter I am working on will work with any type of NAND right now.

             Personnally think we should stick with BBN.   

             Would like some feedback on this since we do not want to put anymore time into

             getting BBN to work.

                                                                                            Jerry

Juan,

           Think this is possibly a DDR problem.

          Stepping through the code the DDR gets set to base addr 0x80000000.

          Memory allocation for hNandInfo is successful but "hNandInfo-flashBase"

         which is being set to 0x02000000 displays a garbage value. 

          Trying to figure out what could cause this.  Believe the gel file and the DDR2

         initialization is correct....

                                                                                     Jerry

Jerry,

I do agree the industry is moving toward BBN devices, hence my recommendation would be to stick to BBN.  I am sure that Spectrum Digital which manufactures our DM6446 EVM will eventually run out of NAND parts inventory and may have to start building with BBN themselves; we typically write the software we provide for our EVMs, so if this happens, we will likely be upgrading much of the software to BBN.  Therefore, unless you can easily switch from SBN to BBN on your design in the future, I would recommend using BBN.

what exactly are your running or stepping thru in CCS (UBL)?  I am not too familiar with CCS, but I am pretty certain that all DM6446 EVM GEL files I have come across setup the DDR2 correctly.

Juan,

          With the CCS you can't step through the GEL file.   It sets up the DDR2, EMIF etc.

          That is why in the nandwriter, these function calls are commented out.

           My DDR memory observations were bogus.  Was staring at this too much and needed a break.

           Since we are using the same ubl_davinci_nand.bin as used in the DVFlasher,  I assume the problem

           is in nandwriter. 

           Assume that the RBL rejects the load and reverts to UART mode(BOOTME) because of bogus UBL signature

          or nonmatching ECC's(page 132 sprue14b, page 132).   Can't check the ubl in NAND since CCS cannot display

         NAND memory.

          Going back and stepping through seeing if I can spot the cause.  Any suggestions, please let me know.

                                                                                                                                        Thanks, 

                                                                                                                                                            Jerry

Jerry,

Thank you for the clarification, now things make a bit more sense to me.  I am not very experienced with CCS myself (more of a Linux guy) so maybe someone else can chime in and recommend something useful.

hello all,

I'm looking for a driver for a micron nand flash ,the thing is , that I need the driver to be a NON -GPL .

do you have one , or idea how to get non gpl drivers .probably this is not the last driver I need .

I'm looking for : I2c driver to Smartflex. micron nand flash .usb host contl - how to define ULPI .

thx,

yuda
