Fw: Re(2): problem with SDRAM

Started by Ludovic Tramart June 23, 2003
Thanks for your reply. I did try to reduce down my ECLKIN signal to 50MHz to see
the effect. But unfortunately

i still couln't load any code into my SDRAM, while my PowerOnSelfTest code
(runnning from IRAM) was successfully

able to read/write on the entire memory of the SDRAMs...?! It's quite hard for me to separate whether it's a hardware or software problem
as :

- the hardware is based on a TI design, and only minor changes have been
made

- my POST code works well, and I seem to have a functionally correct board
in my hands Any others suggestions,

Many thanks, Ludo. -----Original Message-----From: Jeff Brower <>To: Ludovic

You have to separate whether it's hardware or software to start debugging. Try
with SDRAM clock of 50 MHz. Still see the same results?
