解决方案

 






 

1. Switch / Jumper Settings
2. LEDs
3. JTAG Initialization
4. JTAG Configuration
5. Slave SelectMAP Configuration
6. Master BPI Configuration
7. System ACE Configuration
8. System Monitor
9. IBERT

1. Switch / Jumper Settings

     Default Switch and Jumper Settings for the ML605 are:

     Start from a known, safe scenario by verifying the default Switch and Jumper settings.  You can then set switches / jumpers for your application.

a. GMII  

  1. J66 1-2
  2. J67 1-2
  3. J68 no jumper


b. FMC Bypass

  1. J18 1-2 (bypass FMC LPC connector)
  2. J17 1-2 (bypass FMC HPC connector)
  3. J69 1-2 (near Compact Flash connector)


c. System Monitor       

  1. J19 1-2 (Test_mon_vrefp sourced by U23, REF3012)
  2. J35 9-11 (measure voltage on R-kelvin on 12V rail)
  3. J35 10-12 (measure voltage on R-kelvin on 12V rail)


d.  SFP       

  1. J54 1-2 (Full BW)
  2. J65 1-2 (SFP Enable)


e. PCIe Lane Size Select

  1. J42 1-2 (nearest PCIe fingers)


f.  System Ace Error Disable Jumper

Power on Test LEDs Status (below) are indications of Board health.

  1. Check that the FAN spins.
  2. Check the status of the following LEDs at Power ON, if not, try reset the TI power controllers using the XML script. See  (Xilinx Answer 39037):
    • DS25 - 12V PWR - ON
    • DS30 - SYSACE CF error LED (blinks red with No CF card)
    • DS32 - FMC PWR Good - ON
    • DS28 - MGT AVTT - ON
    • DS27 - MGT AVCC (under LCD) - ON
    • DS29 - DDR3 PWR Good (under LCD) - ON
  3. Check 6 Ethernet LEDs near RJ45 Ethernet jack P2. Cycle Power ON and OFF and see that all LEDs blink.
  4. Check 12V Power LED is Green; if not, follow these steps:



  5. Check the JTAG chain is initialized properly. If not, follow these steps:









  6. Verify switch S2 settings:

 

  • S2.1 = OFF
  • S2.2 = ON
  • S2.3 = ON
  • S2.4 = OFF
  • S2.5 = ON
  • S2.6 = OFF

For JTAG configuration mode

  1. Verify FMC bypass jumper positions J17 and J18.
    Pin 1 and 2 to be connected by jumper in case FMC card is not present.
    If using an FMC card, still try with jumpers on pin 1 and 2 of J17 and J18. If this works, then there might be an issue with the FMC connector.
  2. Verify use of a supported OS.
  3. Run ML605 Built-In Self Test Application Test 2 to check for errors (see XTP056 for more details).


If JTAG chain not initialized in iMPACT:

  • Check cable drivers are loaded on host PC.
  • Check system properties and environment variables.
  • USB port enabled?
  • iMPACT tools correctly installed?
  • There are 2 USB mini-B connectors on the board; USB-JTAG and USB-UART. Verify USB-JTAG is used to initialize the chain.
  • Check step 2e. above.

JTAG chain initializes, but JTAG configuration fails:

  • Check 12V Power LED is Green; if not, see step 2d. above.
  • Verify S2 settings; see step 2f. above.
  • Check step 2g. above.
  • Check step 2h. above.

Problems during Slave SelectMAP configuration:

  • Check 12V Power LED is Green; if not, see step 2d. above.
  • Verify S2 settings:
    S2.1 = ON
    S2.2 = OFF
    S2.3 = OFF
    S2.4 = ON
    S2.5 = ON
    S2.6 = Don't Care
  • Ensure configuration from the System ACE card is disabled by setting switch S1.4 = OFF.
  • Restore Flash contents using factory supplied default image. See XTP055 for instructions.

Problems during Master BPI configuration:

  • Check 12V Power LED is Green; if not, see step 2d. above.
  • Verify S2 settings:
    S2.1 = OFF
    S2.2 = ON
    S2.3 = OFF
    S2.4 = ON
    S2.5 = OFF
    S2.6 = OFF
