- Hi Paul,
After reviewing and trying a few things, we noticed that these pins are labelled differently in the "TI datasheet pg 52":https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/am625.pdf?ts=1661784805550
MCU_GPIO_17/18/19/20 are classified as B... - JP 03:52 PM MitySOM-AM62, MitySOM-AM62A, & MitySOM-AM62P Software Development: RE: Problems writing to MCU_GPIO0_19 and MCU_GPIO0_20
- Good morning Paul,
Thank you for the information. We were able to see the same behavior on our end. Tying 3.3 V to the MCU_GPIO0_17 through MCU_GPIO0_20 pins changed the state from low to high and back when configured as inputs. - PS 09:18 AM MitySOM-AM62, MitySOM-AM62A, & MitySOM-AM62P Software Development: RE: Problems writing to MCU_GPIO0_19 and MCU_GPIO0_20
- Thanks for all the updates.
It sounds like you can at least reproduce the problem which is a start
Just to answer the other questions. I believe this is a standard AM62x, and for the time being we are using a development board so w...

- Hello Paul,
We have replicated this issue on our end. I am using a 62x with our latest SDK (11.01) and found that MCU_GPIO0_17 through MCU_GPIO0_20 were not changing after a gpio set. We also noticed MCU_GPIO0_0 through MCU_GPIO0_4 we... - JC 07:36 PM MitySOM-AM62, MitySOM-AM62A, & MitySOM-AM62P Software Development: RE: Problems writing to MCU_GPIO0_19 and MCU_GPIO0_20
- Also are you testing this on our devkit or on a custom design? If a custom design, would you be willing to email it to us for review?
- MW 07:19 PM MitySOM-AM62, MitySOM-AM62A, & MitySOM-AM62P Software Development: RE: Problems writing to MCU_GPIO0_19 and MCU_GPIO0_20
- Hi Paul,
To confirm, you are using a standard AM62x SOM, correct (not an AM62Ax or AM62Px)?
Thanks,
Mike

- Hi Paul,
By default, the MCU_GPIO peripheral is controlled in the linux kernel for the devkit. (see the arch/arm64/boot/dts/k3-am62x-mitysom-devkit.dts file which enables it).

If it is an application space program, I would recommend starting with gdb / gdbserver and connecting via a cross tools IDE over the network.

We are looking at it now and have similar concerns. We have not focused too much on the SFP+ port yet as we were delayed getting silicon for a while and we shuffled the transceiver lanes around between the -1 and -2 boards....

- Eleonora,
If you are asking what clock to drive your IOPLL clock with, you should be able to use the same clock FPGA_CLKIN_P.
So FPGA_CLKIN_P would go to the EMIF IP for its internal PLL that gets spun up to clock the DDR interface... - MF 10:24 PM MitySBC-Agilex5 FPGA Development: RE: 25.3 projects can't get recompiled

Glad to hear you were able to build the projects!

Are you using Quartus Pro 25.3 version exactly? If so, do you also happen to be on Windows and this reference design project checked out in a long directory path? Looking online this may be a common Windows problem where ... - Hello,

Sorry for the confusion! I see that was incorrect in the previous version of the datasheet now that I've checked the change log.
Let us know if you have any other questions!

- Hi Dean,
Pin AH2 is our CLKUSR enable pin. This does not leave the SOM and only goes to the enable pin of the 100 MHz oscillator. The output of the oscillator is then fed into Pin Y15. If you did not want to use the 100 MHz oscillator... - Regarding FPGA ball location AH2 "SCL_1V8". From my understanding, this pin can be driven low to enable the 100MHz CLKUSR on Y15.

In order to build an ARM application for the Agilex 5 on your PC you first need to obtain a toolchain so that you can cross compile the application.

It looks like you have spelling mistake in your command, it should be the following: - XS 09:11 PM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V FPGA Development: RE: JTAG_avalon_master access HPS DDR timeout

- Hi Xiang,
The fpga2sdram_handoff vairable will be set from the quartus project so you don't need to manually change it. Here are our build instructions for the preloader and u-boot: https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/mi... - XS 09:04 PM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V FPGA Development: RE: JTAG_avalon_master access HPS DDR timeout

I download uboot-socfpga.tar.gz, but I don't know how to update `fpga2sdram_handoff` variable in u-boot. Could you give me a detail instruction ? Thanks!

- Thanks Dan, I tried change resigster 0xFFC25080 from 0x00000000 to 0x000003FF, but still timeout. I will update u-boot to try again.
- DV 04:11 PM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V FPGA Development: RE: JTAG_avalon_master access HPS DDR timeout
- A colleague just informed me that even if you set that variable to enable the bridges, it may still not work because the preloader also enables the bridges as part of configuring the HPS I/Os. Because of this, the correct and supported p...
- DV 03:58 PM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V FPGA Development: RE: JTAG_avalon_master access HPS DDR timeout
- Hi Xiang,
You would need to update the `fpga2sdram_handoff` variable in u-boot to enable the ports that you would like. Here is the HPS doc on the FPGA port controller register map: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable... - XS 02:36 PM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V FPGA Development: RE: JTAG_avalon_master access HPS DDR timeout
- Hi Dan,
Thanks for your information, instead of rebuild preload and u-boot, do you have any command that can do release these bridges out of reset? Now, I can use Putty connect system by SSH.

- DV 09:59 PM MitySOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V FPGA Development: RE: JTAG_avalon_master access HPS DDR timeout
- Hi Xiang,
When you enabled the FPGA to HPS SDRAM bridge did you also rebuild your preloader and u-boot? This is needed because the HPS is the one that takes these bridges out of reset.
Best regards,
Dan - Hi,
Using MitySOM_5CSX, I added FPGA to HPS SDRAM interface avalon-mm read-only, and try to using jtag_avalon_master to read out the data from HPS DDR, but always timeout. Need a bridge or something worng?
