[U-Boot-Users] mtest issue on MPC8272

[raymond yang]

Hi All,

My board got problems while running m_test, any idea, 

Looks like the high order two bytes mismatched, while
low part correct.

Does this mean we failed to configure the SDRAM or due
to hardwarer issue?

thanks!

Best Regards
Raymond

It looks like a serious hardware  problem  to  me.  But  then  I'm  a
software guy, and I always try to blame hardware first :-)

Could your board work with BDI? If not, problem
should be with SDRAM configuration, I am afraid.

Best regards,

Sam

I disagree. It looks as if only the high order bits are affected (one
of the chips). This is most probably a hardware issue.

Hi Raymond,

Suspicious: only one error per instance, and that on a 4KB boundary. 
Sounds like Something Bad[tm] is happening on a page boundary (e.g. page 
close, new page open).  For the common hardware faults of shorted 
address and/or data lines, you would get a whole burst of errors when 
the affected lines are exercised.

Questions:
* What is your memory configuration (x8, x16, x32)?  What is the SDRAM 
page size?
* Are these the only errors found?
* Can you use the command line to write to the error addresses and read 
back the proper values?  If not, what do you get?  Use various patterns, 
are the upper two bytes random or related to the lower two bytes?

Inquiring minds want to know...

A typo. I meant to write "Could your board work
WITHOUT BDI?".

I agree your point as well, expecially target cannot
boot without BDI.

Thanks for this correction,

Sam
