what do I need to adapt for the stm32mp157f-ev1 device tree to work for the stm32mp151 SoC?

[M.Assuncao]

Since stm32mp157 node descriptions are inherited from stm32mp153 and stm32mp151.

Hello @Matheus Assunção​ ,

As you well said, stm32mp157 SoC device tree inherit from stm32mp153, then on stm32mp151.

Why ? Because the very base SoC is the stm32mp151. Other ones are just adding features based on this first SoC.

So for you, how to process ?

Your board level device tree will just target directly the SoC you have. If your custom board have a stm32mp151 SoC, you will include directly stm32mp151.dtsi, because you will not need properties of the 2 upper level SoC device tree.

I hope this information will help you to go forward.

Kind regards,

Erwan.

Hello @Erwan SZYMANSKI​ , thanks for your response!

My custom board can use SoC stm32mp157 or stm32mp151, to create the custom device tree I used stm32mp157f-ev1 as a base. My custom board using the SoC stm32mp157 worked correctly, however using the stm32mp151, it did not work. Note: When using device tree for stm32mp151, removed CAN, DSI, GPU, CPU1 related nodes. The same was done in the TFA code.

Below is a demonstration of initializing stm32mp157 and then stm32mp151.

Hi @Matheus Assunção​ 

Is your 2nd board DDR ok ?

Maybe try to use MP151 image on a working MP157 board (not tested on my side, I guess it should work).

Maybe something in your DT somewhere regarding the presence of 2nd Cortex-A7 core (single core on MP151).

Regards.

[M.Assuncao]

Hi @PatrickF​ , thanks for your response!

Yes, the device tree for the single core SoC (MP151) worked for the dual core SoC (MP157). It is also possible to verify that the cpu core 1 is disabled through the "/sys/devices/system/cpu/" directory. In the device tree I disabled all the features added in the MP153 and MP157 but it still didn't work for MP151.

[Erwan SZYMANSKI]

Hello @Matheus Assunção​ ,

Do you think you can share the device tree used for TF-A compilation in attachment ?

Just to well understand the context, you made a custom board with a stm32mp151 SoC, and you are also trying your custom device tree with a stm32mp157f-ev1 (in a test context) that is a native ST board right ?

Kind regards,

Erwan.

[PatrickF]

Maybe you have an HW issue on your board with MP151 (bad solder join somewhere which make DDR not working). Maybe look at DDRFW-UTIL to confirm.

Regards.
