2 Replies and 1773 Views GetSystemTime RTC  1773  2 Started by  Deleted User Hi guys, I have a customer who has built his own CE 4.2 image and is not seeing his CE system time increment. GetSystemTime() consistently returns a time with 0 for minute, seconds, and milliseconds. My best guess is that the RTC is not being initialized (via IOCTL_HAL_INIT_RTC kernel IOCTL on cold boot) The platform this customer built was described to me as 'stripped down' (unfortunately I'm about 3 degrees of separation from those who created the platform so don't have a lot of details ye...

8 Replies and 1793 Views Question about SDRAM initialization  1793  8 Started by  Deleted User Hi all, In my previous post, I reported that blob could not initialize the SDRAM correctly. And later on , Marc Singer released a new boot loader (thanks!) I did tried it on my board again. Unfortunately , it fall into the same problem. After read the code of bs_7400_dbg.elf, I tried to merge them and finally get apex work on my LPD7A400. By the method of try and error, I found a interesting behaviour. If I disable the write to PCMCIACON (0x3. PC Card 1 and 2 Enable), bs_7400_dbg...

2 Replies and 1767 Views SDK-LH7A400 BSP from Sharp  1767  2 Started by  snair Hi, I am trying to use the startup code available in the SDK-LH7A400 BSP in the sharp website with IAR as the compiler. Since the code supplied by Sharp isnt for IAR tool chain, I am wondering if anyone has made it to work with the kit. If so, could I please know what are the changes that need to be put in to accomodate the code in IAR. Thanks, Sajiv

1 Replies and 1629 Views RELOCATE_FROM_FLASH does not work for WinCE 5.0 builds  1629  1 Started by  cdwhatley In WinCE 4.2, LPD had a special environment variable called RELOCATE_FROM_FLASH that you could use to create an image that could be burned to FLASH, but would be relocated to RAM upon boot. I tried using this env var in a WinCE 5.0 build which incorporates the LPD BSP and Kernel. When I download the build via Platform Builder to the card engine, an 'R' appears instead of an 'F' at the start of the download in LoLo. This indicates that the build is a RAM build. In WinCE 4.2, if RELOCTATE_FROM...

11 Replies and 1653 Views Accesssing 64M SDRAM  1653  11 Started by  colin howard Hi I am trying to get access to the full 64M SDRAM on the SDK and I am having a little trouble. In my application the data from 0xC0000000..0xC1FFFFFF appears to be repeated at 0xC2000000..0xC3FFFFFF. From the losh prompt I can write to 0xC2000000 using the w command and read back the correct data using the x command. I can also verify that the data at 0xC0000000 has not changed. If I load the mini application shown: *&40;UNS_8 *&41;&40;0xC0000000L&41; = '1'; *&40;UNS_8 *&41...

5 Replies and 1794 Views LH7A400 details - EEPROM  1794  5 Started by  snair Could I please know: -What is the importance of the serial EEPROM and where it is located in the overall memory map -If I write my own boot loader program, would I have to specifically change anything in regard with the EEPROM -I have my own program which does some command operations like read and write to memory location in the SRAM. Now if I want to load my program after the BoLo has initialized all the settings, what would be the procedure to do so Thanks. Regards, -Sajiv

14 Replies and 1823 Views Problem with LoLo  1823  14 Started by  snair Hello, I am working SDK-LH7A400-10 kit. I also use a JTAG debugger from Signum, JTAG jet USB 2.0. I have a strange problem; when I reset the board with power or by reset button, the 3 LEDs on the board keep flashing fast. And the board seems to go to a state that it isnt able to load the LoLo not able to communicate to the board. But interestingly, when I run IAR in debug session with a simple code and simultaneously open the terminal window, the LoLo loads up. I am not sure what the problem...

20 Replies and 2971 Views Foo Driver using the Timerx interrupts  2971  20 Started by  lucb
(Topic has multiple pages1 2 )
I am starting to modify the foo driver to work with the board timer interrupts rather than the GPIOs. Is there any issue with that Is the windows multimedia timer (1ms) already using one of those timers It seems that I need to change the interrupt from 0x05 (GPIO) to 0x08 (timer1). Anything else obvious I noticed that my kernel is version a400_50_2_1_2_0 but the Sample dev image is using a400_50_2_1_3_0. It would be nice to be able to get some more details on how the sample dev image was bu...

5 Replies and 1664 Views Execution speed on the SDK  1664  5 Started by  colin howard Hi I am trying to get a handle on execution speed on my SDK. I have written some extremely simple code to toggle a port: while &40;1&41; &123; GPIO->pedr ^= 0x03; &125; This is done with interrupts off and is running from external RAM (0xc00c0000 ...) after being loaded in via LOLO. The info from LOSH is sect c0000000 -> c0000000 WBC dom&58;4 Which I think tells me that cache is enabled for this range. The execution time of one pass of ...

1 Replies and 1651 Views Updated patches for linux-2.6.10 & New APEX Bootloader  1651  1 Started by  Deleted User I've updated the linux patches to support linux 2.6.10. At this point, the only things not in the kernel are the IDE driver and an MTD/maps driver (which isn't really necessary). There is also a new bootloader available, APEX. I wrote it because BLOB is difficult to build and modify. <http://projects.buici.com/arm/lpd7a40x> Cheers.

The SDK board has both a USB-A connector and a USB-B connector. However I notice from the data sheet, that the LH7A400 sharp uP has only the USB slave side. While the LH7A404 uP has both. Any help on this would be cool. EZ

2 Replies and 1647 Views JTAG: CPLD goes braindead?  1647  2 Started by  Deleted User I seem to be seeing a situation in which you attach a JTAG to control the ARM CPU and somehow the CPLD becomes dysfunctional. The problem shows up about 90 of the time when using JTAG to connect to the LH7A400-10 board. The CPLD refused to respond to external logic events, it is dead. Looking at the schematic, the JTAG pins to the CPLD are connected to the host CPU via the U19 buffer. Are you using the JTAG in lolo to communicate periodically with the CPLD Is that why the CPLD goes inert ...
