Rebuilding the Flash and Boot Utils Package

Hi William,

Question No:1 : Is there an alternate toolchain or can TI provide an alternate method to complete this build?

Are you able to register into their mentor graphics website, sourcery.mentor.com/.../subscription3057

and tried downloading the "Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2014.05-29" ???

Question No: 2: Inside OMAP-L138_FlashAndBootUtils_2_40 I found OMAP-L138_FlashAndBootUtils_2_40\OMAP-L138\CCS\NORWriter. This project builds in CCS 5.5, connects to my board, and begins to run on the ARM9. However, it hangs on line
// Initialize NOR Flash hNorInfo = NOR_open((Uint32)LOCAL_norBase, DEVICE_BUSWIDTH_16BIT );
inside of norwriter.c

I could think of the following reasons.

1. As far as I know, this NOR writer will staright away work for DA-850 EVM with OMAPL138 processor. Do check whether any changes needed for your board, " TMDSSGI-EVML138"

2. Make sure that the "DEVICE_BUSWIDTH_16BIT" is 16 for NOR flash. If it is 8 bit, you may have to change it.

3. Make sure you flash the AIS formatted binary as per the readme.txt file provided at "~\OMAP-L138_FlashAndBootUtils_2_40\OMAP-L138_FlashAndBootUtils_2_40\OMAP-L138\CCS\NORWriter"

I have registered. After registering instead of seeing links, all I see is "You are not allowed to access this file". I called Mentor and they said they have ended this project, and now sell it as part of their enterprise software. They no longer provide it for free at all. This is obviously a problem for me or anyone wanting to recompile this tool in the future.

1. You were correct, I had loaded the wrong GEL file for my board. The wiki only links to the PD GEL file, but I am using a Spectrum Digital board. Once I got the correct GEL file I the NOR Writer does not hang, but it still fails. (For anyone else having this issue, the SD GEL file is available here:http://support.spectrumdigital.com/boards/evmam1808/revb/)

2. I do have this set. Fortunately, the NOR Writer utility tries both 16 and 8 bit before failing no matter what is set, so kudos on the good coding.

3. I am following the readme.txt file exactly, but I get the following error message:

Starting OMAP-L138 NORWriter.

CFI Query...failed.

ERROR: NOR Initialization failed.

NOR flashing failed!

Upon inspection, the NORWriter tries to write some test words to the NOR flash at 0x60000000, and the writes fail. They do not provide an error, the NOR flash simply does not change value, so when the NORWriter looks for the test words it just wrote, they are not there. This mimics the EXACT problem I had trying to flash via u-boot. I was able to sf probe, and sf erase. The sf write did not provide an error, but the NOR flash never actually changed values. It remained 0xFFFF for the entire NOR flash no matter what I did. The NORWriter is having the same issue. It tries to write to NOR and the values just never change at all. I am at a total loss how to proceed. I have followed the hardware manual and software manual and everything appears correct.

Hi William,

OK, First we will try out the method one; that is rebuilding the SFH utility after modifying the source of SFH as per your board. [ Code sourcery is not mandatory. We can use the existing compilers of CCSV5]

For modifications as per your board, please refer to sections, in TI WIKI

Follow the below steps to re-build the SFH.

1. Download and install cygwin from  setup-x86_64.exe

2. Install it successfully by choosing the internet option.

3. Observe that the icon apeears on the desktop.

4. Open cygwin window.

5. go to the path : /cygdrive/c/ti/mcsdk_1_01_00_01/host-tools/OMAP-L138_FlashAndBootUtils_2.40/OMAP-L138 using $cd < dir >

6. open C:\ti\mcsdk_1_01_00_01\host-tools\OMAP-L138_FlashAndBootUtils_2.40\Common\build.mak in a notepad and make sure the path are appropriate:

For example:

ARM_TOOLS_PATH?=C:\\ti\\ccsv5\\tools\\compiler\\gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2012q4\\

ARM_TOOLS_PREFIX?=arm-none-eabi-

CROSSCOMPILE?=$(ARM_TOOLS_PATH)bin\\$(ARM_TOOLS_PREFIX)

ARM_CROSSCOMPILE=$(CROSSCOMPILE)

DSP_TOOLS_PATH?=C:\\ti\\ccsv5\\tools\\compiler\\C6000_7.4.5\\

DSP_LIB_PATH=$(DSP_TOOLS_PATH)lib\\

DSP_CROSSCOMPILE=$(DSP_TOOLS_PATH)bin\\

7. Go to computer properties, advanced system properties -- > system variables --> path edit --> c:\MinGW\bin;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319

8. Go to this folder : c/ti/mcsdk_1_01_00_01/host-tools/OMAP-L138_FlashAndBootUtils_2.40/OMAP-L138

and do

$make clean

$make

PS: Revert back and tell us how it goes.

---------------------------------

Thank you for the replies so far. I am still having issues with the board. I have attached screenshots of my running programs for context. I have an open support ticket with Spectrum Digital and will let you know what they say when they respond.

 

I have tried both EMU mode and SPI boot (the two dip switch settings you listed) and they both give the exact same errors. I also ran Spectrum Digital's debug GEL file in both modes and have attached the output below in case it helps. Note that all dip switch settings result in the same issue: the NOR Flash Writer tries to write to NOR flash, but the flash values never change.

Dear William,
Which board are you using ?
OMAPL138/AM1808 spectrum digital EVM board or SGI EVM ?
Can you please attach the screen shot of your complete board (EVM+daughter card) ?

As I understood from Shankari suggestion, also you need set boot settings on daughter card.
What I meant is you should not select any other flash mode in daughter card DIP settings.
I hope you have attached daughter card into your EVM board.

I am using the Smart Grid EVM Revision E (TMDSSGI-EVML138). It is the one located here: https://store.ti.com/TMDSSGI-EVML138-Smart-Grid-Infrastructure-Evaluation-Module-SGI-EVM-P2739.aspx

 

I see the daughter board in the image but I do not have it attached and no one seems to ever remember having one. Can you point out where the dip switches on the daughter board are referenced? They are not in any of the manuals or your wiki entries that I can find.

 

I was able to successfully flash the LED demo onto the SPI and play the LED demo. When I try the NAND or NOR versions of the LED demo I get nothing. If you can provide me with a reference showing I need the daughter card I can probably justify purchasing another one. Thank you again for all of your help so far!

I am very confused when you say there is no NOR flash. The link you gave me states specifically there is NOR flash:

Reference 1:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/SGI_EVM_Hardware_Manual

Table 4, NOR EMIFA is the first dip switch setting for S2.

If you look at the SGI EVM Hardware Manual (referenced above and the one you linked) it specifically states the PLC daughter card is not included by default. It is marked 'U' on the diagram in the hardware manual. looked at the daughter card drawings and see nothing leading back to the SPI flash or S2 switch. The daughter card (PLC adapter) has jumpers that seem unrelated to the SPI controller.

C2000 Power Line Communication (PLC) modem daughter card (NOT INCLUDED)

 

Reference 2:

The Smart Grid Solutions Guide (Rev. O), which is listed as the only key document on the SGI EVM page here:

http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdssgi-evml138?keyMatch=SGI EVM&tisearch=Search-EN-Everything

also specifically shows NOR flash on the block diagram on page 6.

 

 

 

Hi William,

Thanks for confirming that the board doesnot have the NOR flash.
