OSPI flashing with EK-RA8D1 debug session

francovaro

Hi,

is it possible to flash the OSPI with the embedded JLink when launching a debug session on the EK-RA8D1 kit ?

I have declared some constant array like this:

const __attribute__((aligned(8))) __attribute__((section(".OSPI_DEVICE_0"))) __attribute__((__used__))int32_t test_vector[4] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, };

I can see the .hex correctly including them, but when I open the memory browser at 0x800_0000 it's all 0xFF.

What I am missing?

I do initialize the OSPI as is done in the ospi_b_ek_ra8d1_ep example, and I can then  sucesfully operate with the OSPI flash.

thank you

    Hi Francovaro,

    Thanks for reaching out Renesas Community.

    I don't have an EK-RA8D1 but I have the EK-RA6M3, and I try the same sample project on it. Find it works well, I can write to the OSPI and see the memory changed after I write or erase it.

    When I enter 1 in RTT viewer:

    The memory block changes:

    "

    I can see the .hex correctly including them, but when I open the memory browser at 0x800_0000 it's all 0xFF.

    What I am missing?

    About the question you raised, could you kindly tried to use the RTT viewer to enter some commands to write data in OSPI? You may see some difference.

    Hi,

    as said, I can write and read from OSPI when the application is running.

    What I'm trying to do is to put some const arrays in the OSPI region, I checked the .hex file and they are correctly allocated.

    Code:

    const __attribute__((aligned(8))) __attribute__((section(".OSPI_DEVICE_0"))) __attribute__((__used__))int32_t test_vector[4] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, };

    And the hex:

    :0200000480007A

    :1000000000000000010000000200000003000000EA

    But If i try to access them (after the OSPI has been initialzied)

    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i ++) {

    APP_PRINT("\r\narray %d: %d", i , test_vector[i]);

    }

    It shows:

    00> Device ID read successfully
    00> Manufacturer ID = 0x34, Memory Interface Type = 0x5B, Density = 0x1A
    00>
    00> Check array
    00> array 0: -1
    00> array 1: -1
    00> array 2: -1
    00> array 3: -1

    And the Memory Browser shows all 0xFF.

    I to instruct the JLink to flash these region too ? Is it possible?

    BR,

    On EK-RA8d1, the ospi flash is located at 0x90000000, ".OSPI_DEVICE_1" . You manage to read the Manufacturer ID. Was yours placed in 0x80000000?

    Hi

    I think the manufacturer is read from the flash, not from memory, so yes I was able to read it.

    Now I moved the test vector to .OSPI_DEVICE_1 and I can read the values!

    Where did you read that is mapped to 0x900_0000 ? Just from the example ?

    thank you.
