I'm writing a new bios for an x86 processor with an integral SDRAM controller. I have it working with the SDRAM, but I'm troubled by a specification in the SDRAM datasheet that requires a precharge of all banks to be issued upon powerup. As far as I can see, there is no way to run a specific SDRAM "command". Will a write to all banks accomplish the precharge?

Hello, I am lucky, i am working with KMC board with NEC vr4131 processor and samsung K4S561632C SDRAM. my processor have an inbuilt SDRAM control unit. When we are initializaing the sdram, we have to follow the sequence(200us NOP, Precharge, 2xAuto Refresh and MRS) or initializaing the sdram controller's registers is enough. I tried by initializaing the SDRAM control unit registers ini...

Hi everyone, ive been trying to interface a 16MB SDRAM (MT84LC8M16A2, 128Mbit, 2x16x4)with an AT91RM9200 on my custom board. The SDRAM and the uC are placed close to each other on the 2-layer PCB (which me and my friend designed). I wrote a small SDRAM test program that sends a unique *byte* to each location of the SDRAM, and then reads it back..it ran without any errors, all values mat...

Hey All, I have a Blackfin 533 EZKit. I have ahd great success with every peripheral except the SDRAM. The doccumentation states that the SDRAM bus is automatically configured so long as the auto-configure box is checked under Target Options(which it is) I must be oversimplifying this because now the SDRAM should be memory mapped from 0x0000 0000 to 0x07FF FFFF, but when I try to wri...

Dear all, I have to boot-up a device based on Hitachi uP with external SDRAM (2x256Mb). The device was designed by somebody else and I only have to get it working. However there is something that bothers me very much. Probably to easen PCB layout the designer has mixed data and address lines for SDRAM: i.e. pin D0 of SDRAM is connected to pin D7 of uP. All other interface signals (RAS...

Could someone explain how I would go about determining if a particular SDR SDRAM (not DDR) is compatible with a CPU, AT91SAM9260 for example. The cpu's Master Clock (MCK) runs at 100MHz which is the speed at which the SDRAM controller clock (SDCK) also runs. Does this automatically mean I should be looking for only PC100 rated SDR SDRAM? Any pointers would help the rest of us noobs out ...

Hi! With our current SDRAM initialization (in our boot code), sometimes the SDRAM does not work correctly after power-up reset. Every second quad-word can't be accessed (it seems that it can't be written). When the SDRAM is in this erroneous state after power-up, repetitive resets (not power-up) won't resolve the problem. Only a power-off/on cycle will resolve the problem. So I think, som...

We are in the process of writing code to execut out of SDRAM for the first time in an upcoming project. Until now all our systems executed code out of eprom or flash.

Any RAM corruption will cause down time and reliability issue...
