How to make the right connection for using DDR Test Suite?

[porter.chen]

The board is installed with the system( stm32mp1-openstlinux-5.15-yocto-kirkstone-mp1-v22.06.15) by following the Getting started .

All drivers are installed.

However, in the DDR test suite, I cannot connect to the device.

How to make the right connection for using DDR Test Suite?

Do I need a DDR utilities binary file for the connection?

thank you

Hi @Semer CHERNI​ ​

​

Thank you for the information.

"This Port Com Is Not Responding" is still happened. Could you help?

The details are listed below.

the main operation is to achieve(2.3.2 Using STM32CubeMX

)

• STM32CubeIDE: Launch the debug session as indicated in §2.2.3 Launch project+ STM32CubeMX DDR Test Suite run DDR Tests

​

After choosing another workspace location and restarting the import process, the files were successfully imported.

• In Main tab:
  • Make sure binary file .elf is correctly set
  • 
• In Debugger tab:
  • Make sure JTAG/SWD link (Engineering mode) is selected for "Load Mode"
  • Debug probe uses ST-LINK
  • 
• Disable "Enable live expressions"
  • 
• On your board, make sure the boot pins are set in Engineering mode (See §2.1 Hardware connections)

• Then launch the Debug session

=> Shows a lot red info; gdb port disable

•

4.Open CubeMX and follow the steps described in 2.2

3.2.3 DDR configuration

• Once the project is opened, configure the DDR settings in “Pinout and configuration�? tab

• Once the DDR configuration is set, you can then run DDR Test Suite in “Tools�? tab (See §3.2.5 DDR Test Suite).

Select the correct port com then connect the board. Target information is displayed when the tool is running properly

=> The Port Com is Not Responding

Hi Semer and Alex,

Thank you for your support .

The connection of using DDR test suite is complete by using the operation steps listed below.

Please let me know if any steps need to be modified.

 Flash the MP135 with the "STM32MP135C-DK_DDR_UTILITIES_A7_signed.stm32" file found under this https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32DDRFW-UTIL/tree/main/Binaries/STM32MP135C-DK_DDR_UTILITIES_A7 with the Cube programmer in CLI using this cmd "Cubeprogrammer install path\STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe -c port=usb1 -w the file path\STM32MP157C-DK2_DDR_UTILITIES_A7_signed.stm32 0x01 --start 0x01"

=> download STM32MP135C-DK_DDR_UTILITIES_A7.stm32 to C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\bin

1 . connect cables as the picture shown below.(left: microUSB for ST-Link; right: USB typeC for power supply) the boot mode is set to "Force USB boot for flashing SW1[0 0 0 0]"

 
 

2 . open cmd, follow the below steps. (by referring to 3.1.3 SYSRAM loading from

https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32DDRFW-UTIL/blob/main/README.md#11-package-overview or Hub - STMicroelectronics/STM32DDRFW-UTIL: DDRFW-UTIL tool repository) (the same)

in cmd: path in C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\bin>

type in and run:

STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe -c port=COM30 -w STM32MP135C-DK_DDR_UTILITIES_A7_signed.stm32 0x01 –-start 0x01

then open STM32CubeMX, choose COM30 in DDR interactive, connect , run DDR test suite

 
 

thank you
