Hi Guys,
We have developed Blackfin based board using BF547-Rev04. At the moment we face strange probably hardware issue. Let me share few details
- GCC assumes rev 0.2 of the CPU is this OK with the rev 0.4 which we have on board? - The DDR routing due to a PCB mistake is not perfect now so we had to reduce the SCLK to 75 MHz - Now mtest in uboot is working OK for a very long time. - as the uCinux boots we get 2 different kind of OOPS. The OOPS trace are exactly the same on each try. Which one of the OOPS we will get depends even from the place in memory we put uImage before 'bootm' it. Let me copy one of the OOPS at the end of this message.
The first reason for this behavior seems to be memory issue.
At the moment we have soldered two Micron memory chips MT46V64M8BN-5B. (On the board we have footprints for 4 chips, two are not soldered and their traces are hanging as a bridged taps now) We are using Vtt active termination. The series resistors are 22 Ohm and the Vtt pull-ups are 47 Ohm.
We have experimented a lot varying the SCLK and keeping EBIU_DDRCTL[0..2] as per the excel document available at http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=bfin:sdram. The most stable behavior we have got around SCLK-75MHz. For higher and lower frequency we get worse results. With SCLK=75 MHz mtest is working stable. Can we assume that our memory is OK for this settings then? The OOPS we get looks stable as well. All the trace data are exactly repeatable.
Can you please point us to the way/direction so we narrow down the issue.
