AL 07:27 AM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V Software Development: RE: PHY not working with QSPI flash boot
Hi Mike,
Thanks for all the support. I've managed to solve the problem by downloading the 5CSX Project once again, downloading a new U-Boot version and adding the board specific files to U-Boot and compiling everything again. I still ...

MW 06:53 AM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V Software Development: RE: PHY not working with QSPI flash boot
I am checking with our hardware guy here but I don't think the MPU rate is altered by the BOOTSEL pins after u-Boot.
I think the MPU rate is configured in the QSYS HPS configuration setup and the PLL settings are passed via headers to...

Alex,
thank you for clearing that up!
B) Just for the record, SMC1_SMSDA should be SoM pin 54 and HSMC1_SMSCL should be SoM pin 52.
C) Yes, the usage of those pins is quasi-static, they form part of a 9 bit configuration interfa...

AL 11:32 AM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V Software Development: RE: PHY not working with QSPI flash boot
Hi Mike,
I have tested it with the image that is available here: http://support.criticallink.com/files/mitysom-5csx/sd_image_MitySOM-5CSX_rev3A.zip.
The Ethernet link appears to be 100Mbps as well.
I hadn't notice the different c...

Hi,
We are not aware of any problem until your post. We had tried to reproduces this problem after you originally posted and didn't see the issue. Sorry I did not mention it. I have asked the engineer to re-run it and capture the re...

AL 10:01 AM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V Software Development: RE: PHY not working with QSPI flash boot
I just want to report that this problem is _not_ present when using an Altera Cyclone V DevKit.
I have no problem with the PHY when booting from QSPI flash and I am able to obtain an IP address via DHCP and load a Linux Kernel via TFTP...

AL 09:00 AM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V Software Development: RE: PHY not working with QSPI flash boot
Hi Mike,
Thanks for replying. The U-Boot environments are identical. The driver should also be there as I have just noticed, after several attempts, that someties U-Boot does manage to find the interface (although it doesn't work prop...

MW 07:28 AM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V Software Development: RE: PHY not working with QSPI flash boot
Sorry,
The only thing that comes to mind is if somehow the uBoot environment has changed or the SPL build removed the phylib or emac driver. You might compare the printenv's from both configurations a little closer. You might also m...

Any ideas of what the problem might be?
Can somebody at least reproduce this behavior?

Floria,
A) We confirmed that the .tcl script is in fact incorrect for that pin-assignment.
Correct pin assignment (as you noted):

AL 04:30 AM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V Software Development: RE: PCI-e Intel - System crash
It's a total freeze, no dumps are written. Guess the only option is to use the DS-5 Kernel/Device Drivers debug capabilities.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Alex

I don't seem to get any oops or panic, it just hangs. I'm attaching the output of dmesg up to the point where the system crashes
(this is for Critical Link's image, i.e. 3.12.0). To get a proper dump I'll need to re-compile the kernel ...

Hello,
I am trying to get the PCI-e interface on the MitySoM DevKit (RC-3C version) to work with an Intel 82574L Gigabit Network card
(the same that is used at the RocketBoards example).

BK 07:22 AM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) Software Development: RE: FPGA load fail
Alex,
The NOR flash option does work, although its a bit slower we will still go with this option to load the software.
We are still obliged to use NAND flash for other uses, so we would like to still pursue this problem. At the mom...

Bruce,
I am working with our team here to determine the best way we can assist you further with this issue/request.
I did want to check concerning the NOR memory option, did that end up not working for you?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am trying to set up the MitySOM such that U-Boot is stored on the flash memory and the Linux Kernel, DTS and FPGA image are loaded via TFTP.

Jonathon,
In this thread you suggested that uBoot has a error detection mechanism but it requires a re-build to enable it.
As I mentioned we are not setup to build uBoot, is it possible that you folks could provide a uBoot executable...

AL 03:30 AM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V Software Development: RE: Boot configuration jumpers
Thank you very much. As I've seen the labeling is to the right of the switch (in my case), hence I didn't pay attention to it. Also, what I wrote should obviously read 101 = 0x5: 3.3 V SD/MMC, lack of sleep does that.
Best,
Alexandre

Sorry this isn't clear. There is silkscreen labeling below the switch corresponding to the switch locations 1-10: MSEL[0-4], CSEL[0-1], BSEL[0-2]. CSEL is Clock Select and BSEL is Boot Select. The QSPI interface is running at 1.8V and... Adam Dziedzic

Bruce,
The architecture for the SPI NOR is accurate.
Ideally you would use the 7MB of space starting at 0x100000 for your images. The reserved space starting at 0x600000 is not used for anything and can be used for user files.

Thanks for your reply.
We will continue to try and reproduce the problem here.
In the meantime we are considering moving our FPGA and software images to NOR flash. The FPGA is no problem as it is relatively small but our so...

On a unit where the FPGA is failing to load, could you compare the fpga image stored in nand to a fresh copy to see if it could be a nand corruption issue?
If you load the nand image and the fresh image in seperate locations in RAM yo...

We are using the L138-DI-225-RI SOM (OMAP138 with FPGA) and are now finding that some of these SOMs are failing in the field, the symptom is that the on-board FPGA fails to load.
We now have a couple of the failed units back on-site a...

No, that was obviously not the reason. The unhosted and hosted linker scripts do link against different libraries but that only seems matters for stdio. I was able to solve the problem by rewritting everything from scratch. The way I was... Alexandre Lopes
