Trying to flash QSPI over JTAG on TE0703 + TE0720 -

[Aaron]

I would like to flash this device using a PC running XSDK 2018.2.  However, the flash complains that boot mode is SD or QSPI (depending on SW2-4), but should be JTAG.  However, the TRM says nothing about a JTAG boot mode.

Is there such a thing as a jtag boot mode on this device?  If so, please help me in the future by pointing to where I missed reference to it in the TRM.

Here are some more details, if needed:
When I flash, I select qspi_dual_parallel.  In SD mode, the flash will complete, but fail when it attempts to check the data.

In QSPI boot mode, a few times, it complained "SF:  Unrecognized JEDEC code".  Another time it hung.  Here is the log of the JEDEC error:

Any advice would be welcome.

Hi,
can you tell me which TE0720 assembly variant you has?

Did you use correct PS configuration?
For Vivado 2018.2, you need also special FSBL for flash configuration in case Boot mode is != JTAG. We provide one in our reference design or you can create own one.

Can you also start prebuilt Linux binaries from our reference design and check if flash is detected there correctly

Thank you for your reply.  I really appreciate that you monitor the forums and respond promptly to all us noobs

It is a TE0720-03-2IF, I believe, though I don't believe it is visible on the part itself.  The FSBL has some extra debug enabled, and it prints out:

SoM: TE0720-03-1A  F SC REV:05

(I do not see a -1A listed on the TE0720 product page, so I assume this really means something else)

You ask if my PS configuration is correct:  I did not know there is a correct software configuration for JTAG booting.  Do you mean something has to change in my software?  My only experience is with the ZynqMP products we have used in the past (both Xilinx ZynqMP and Trenz TE0808), where a platform that was normally booting from QSPI flash could be modified with a single jumper that would change its boot mode register value, thus preparing it to be flashed over JTAG using XSDK (with a zynqmp_fsbl.elf).  That is what I am looking for here - an equivalent with the zynq7.  However, the only switch I see is SW2-4, which only allows two boot modes:  SD or QSPI.

I am hoping there is a "jumper only"  solution to flash the TE0720 using PC software such as the XSDK or program_flash.  Is this possible? 

In the TRM, I see only SW-2-4 has SD and QSPI boot mode. No JTAG.  I see some other switches that are described as related to JTAG, but some seem to suggest it will program the CPLD.  Bricking the CPLD would not be my first choice, so I thought I'd ask.  Once again:  are there any switches or jumpers on TE0703-06 that can put the Zynq SoM into JTAG boot mode, so it will sit and wait for a JTAG connection so it can be flashed over JTAG?

In the case boot mode != JTAG, I understand you are saying one needs a special FSBL, but I would very much like to know how to make boot mode == JTAG.  This my only question.  I tried using your prebuilt zynq_fsbl.elf vs mine (generated in petalinux), but I don't see a difference.  In each case, the Trenz starts booting from the SD while the XSDK is trying to flash, and the flash ends up failing.

I tried downloading "SDSoC_PFM_TE0720-03-2IF_20181105171203.zip", but there does not appear to be anything bootable in there - at least, nothing that gave me any console output once I put the TE0703 into SD boot mode and power-cycled.

1) I removed my BOOT.BIN and image.ub from the SD card
2) I copied sw\Linux\Linux\image\image.ub to the top directory of my SD card
3) I copied sw\Linux\boot\* (linux.bif, u-boot.elf, and zynq_fsbl.elf) to the top directory of the SD card

The result of powering on was a dead console.  Are there other files I should have copied?

Also, I noticed that when I try flashing with boot mode == SD, the platform resets and begins booting the linux image on the SD, but stops short of starting the kernel.  This is why the XSDK fails to flash, I believe - the Zynq is still trying to boot while the XSDK is flashing.  What appears to be needed is a way to halt the boot process , such as a jumper that will force the zynq to wait for a jtag connection.

One more thing I will try is getting a new set of TE0703, TE0720 and microSD card from unopened boxes I have, since the SD card I am using was previously corrupted and then partitioned, and the TE0703 power connector or its power cable is starting to disconnect power when it is wiggled (the black plastic connector looks like it moves upward and away from the 0703 PCB when upward pressure is placed on the AC plug).  So the circuitry is frequently seeing power being turned off and on quickly whenever the cable is wiggled and I'm sure that is not good.

Thanks

Hi,
can you send me the serial number of your TE0720. It's on the white sticker with QR code on the module(I just want to make sure that you have TE0720-03-2IF).

Please download newest version of the Testboard Reference design:
https://wiki.trenz-electronic.de/display/PD/TE0720+Test+Board
https://wiki.trenz-electronic.de/display/PD/TE0720+Test+Board#TE0720TestBoard-Download

--> use this one with prebuilt binaries.
For  TE0720-03-2IF use
./prebuilt/boot_images/2if_1gb/u-boot/Boot.bin
./prebuilt/os/petalinux/1GB/image.ub
./prebuilt/os/petalinux/1GB/boot.scr

and put the on a SD with on fat32 partition and boot from SD.
--> Set TE0703 DIP to
S2-1:ON (it's normally no matter, it activate/deactivate SD CD Pin usage)
S2-2:ON -->Xilinx SoC is in the JTAG Chain, otherwise you see the CPLD of the modul if S2-3 is also ON
S2-3:ON --> Module is in the JTAG chain, otherwise you see the CPLD of the carrier
S2-4:ON --> Boot from SD, otherwise Boot from QSPI
see: https://wiki.trenz-electronic.de/display/PD/TE0703+TRM#TE0703TRM-DIPswitches

For UART use for example putty (it goes over the same USB cable like JTAG) for configuration, see:
https://wiki.trenz-electronic.de/display/PD/TE0720+Test+Board#TE0720TestBoard-Usage
https://wiki.trenz-electronic.de/display/PD/Reference+Designs+with+PetaLinux

This should boot completely. Please send me one time the whole boot log

After seeing the boot log, let's look at your flash programming problem.

PS: Do not use SDSoC_PFM_TE0720-03-2IF_20181105171203.zip, it was for Xilinx SDSoC software which Xilinx has discontinued and integrated the functionality into vitis AI.
