Bootup Peculiarities

Added by Lucas Uecker almost 3 years ago

Hello again.

I have built a handful of prototypes of our carrierboard and have had some boot up fine (I have it set to boot off of an SD card), but some just seemed to hang on bootup.

Today I happened to press the POR button (connected to pin 25 of the module) and then it booted up. I started probing around with the oscilloscope, but maybe ejected the SD card when I was handling it, but now the NCONFIG light comes on (pin 39).

I assumed I corrupted some data on the SD card and reflashed an image on it... but same problem on multiple boards. I'm hoping this isn't too much of an 'uh-oh' on module itself.

As an aside, I have a 1000pF cap on the reset switches and was going to try something larger, but then red light meant stop for the moment.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Lucas,

Do you have the pull up resistors on the SD Card interface?

Have you looked at this support page on Carrier Board Gotchas?

Here's the relevant area on my schematic:

Hi Lucas,

It looks like you do have the pull ups on CMD and D0. Can you post your console log of the SOM hanging during boot?

Thanks,
Dan

RE: Bootup Peculiarities - Added by Lucas Uecker almost 3 years ago

No output from console on the module that has the NCONFIG light come on.
New module doesn't boot up, so no output from console.

Correction!

I held down the POR low a little longer and it booted...

RE: Bootup Peculiarities - Added by Michael Williamson almost 3 years ago

Hi Lucas,

In your boot log, I am seeing several error messages around the SD-MMC card (ext4-fs /dev/mmcblk0p* devices) that I would not expect to see with a freshly flashed SD card.

What model SD card are you using? Some of the cheaper ones you can get in bulk are really not any good. I've seen bad SD cards exhibit similar behavior.

Another issue could be some sort of signal integrity issue on the SD-card bus and data lanes from the SD-card slot to the module interface. Are your bus lines and clock matched (within reason) in length and clear of any cross-talk aggressors (particularly the clock line)? Can you take a snapshot of this portion of the layout or share design files? We can arrange to do that via email / privately if you are agreeable to that and put an NDA in place if there are concerns.

Do you have a Critical Link MitySOM-5CSX devkit? Can we try some experiments to isolate the issue to the SOM, carrier card, or SDCARD? You could try the using the SD-card and/or swapping questionable modules to see if the problem tracks or not.

Let me know what you think.

-Mike

RE: Bootup Peculiarities - Added by Lucas Uecker almost 3 years ago

We've used fancypants Sandisk "Industrial" ones, but also regular Sandisk branded ones. I'll put on the design review list of testing SD cards and/or plan to move to eMMC.

It might be worth pointing out that we're using microSD cards. The holder has been on my suspect list as they're somewhat mechanically flimsy until they're soldered down.

I think the lines from the card holder to the module holder are somewhat close, but they weren't specifically designed to be matched. Definitely a point to compare units that booted versus units that didn't.

We do have the dev kit. We need to do some differential diagnosis on our ADC connections anyway, so I'll bug Travis into running some tests there as well.

Thanks!

RE: Bootup Peculiarities - Added by Lucas Uecker almost 3 years ago

Here are the parts of the board in question and this version does look like a confused mess now that I'm looking at it.

The SOIC on top is a TPS2044D to handle the power switching for a USB hub that I added.

RE: Bootup Peculiarities - Added by Lucas Uecker almost 3 years ago

Got together the dev kit:

-booted fine (both LEDs on the module came on, then one went off) with the microSD in an adapter

-tried the module that was turning on the NCONFIG light on my board. On the dev board D405 lit up and D100 sort of lit up (tri-state-ish)

RE: Bootup Peculiarities - Added by Lucas Uecker almost 3 years ago

This is probing the HPS_POR_N:

RE: Bootup Peculiarities - Added by Daniel Vincelette almost 3 years ago

Hi Lucas,

Did the SOM that was turning on the NCONFIG light on your baseboard boot fine in our Dev Kit?

What do you have connected to the HPS_NOR_N pin on your baseboard? Here's a snippet from our design guide about connecting up that pin:

These should be connected to an open collector output if driving the reset from
the carrier board. The MitySOM module includes a 10KΩ pull-up resistor on each reset line

Dan

RE: Bootup Peculiarities - Added by Lucas Uecker almost 3 years ago

The Module that turned on our NCONFIG light did not boot on the dev board. I copied our NCONFIG LED from the dev board reference schematic with 3.3v -> 267 ohm resistor -> NCONFIG pin w/ TP10

HPS_POR_N is connected to a 1000pF cap and a switch to pull it to ground.

RE: Bootup Peculiarities - Added by Daniel Vincelette almost 3 years ago

Hi Lucas,

It is sounding like the SOM might of gotten damaged. Does the green LED on the SOM turn on? This is the power good LED that will turn on if all the power supplies on the SOM come up correctly.

No lights come up on the module that lights up NCONFIG light.

On the second test module, both lights stay on until a few seconds after HPS_POR_N is pulled low. Then the yellow light goes off. This is the condition that got as far as that boot log above.

I've had the condition where the board will boot after HPS_POR_N is pulled low, and a condition where the boot doesn't occur but the illumination level of the LEDs on the module changes.

If I disconnect supply power to the ethernet (L501 and L503, same as the dev board) the board goes from the second condition to the first.

Is Vin to the module supposed to come up before VIO supply voltages? I have 5, 3.3, and 2.5 all coming up together.

On the dev board, R109 is a pullup for BOOTSEL2 from +1.8VIO, but there is also C523 and R503 connected to the bus and R503 is a pullup on the DVDDH_1V8 rail.

When I had to switch to the KSZ9021 because the KSZ9031 was unavailable, as a result had to change DVDDH to 2.5volts.

Problem would seem to be that Bank7B is fixed for 1.8 volts...

Once 2.5v supply to the Ethernet is removed and the trace connecting the BOOTSEL2 pullup to the DVDDH_2V5 pullup is cut then there is boot.

Well. Gather egg off face, make omelette I suppose.

Hi Lucas,

Sorry for the delay, the cyclone V can handle all the supplies powering up together.

Ah that could do it because as you said Bank7B is fixed at 1.8V and the PHY would be overvoltaging those IOs on the SOM. Sorry I didn't notice this when you were talking about swapping to the KSZ9021 a few months ago, I was too focused on the software side and missed the IO voltage mismatch.
