TK1 Custom board DDr Issues

We have custom board running with Tegra K1 and MT41K512M16HA-107:A this Micron 4GB DDR is used in our board.

We have cleared the Schmoo test and below is the Schmoo result.

But when running the memtest (using memtester tool) from kernel it is consistently failing in the bit flip test. Below is the log file for reference.

Why bit flip is failing and will affect the stability? Can anybody share what might be the reason for this behavior and how to solve it?

Hi Jeslin,

From the shmoo result, you can find that

  • AutoCalOffsetDQDQS: can’t meet +/- 10 taps requirement.

Suggestion: shift AutoCalOffsetDQDQS to 6.

HI Trummy,

Thanks for your Reply.

We have Shifted AutoCalOffsetDQDQS to 6 and Run the Memtest and we get the same error.

FYI.

We have did the below changes in the CFG File to configure the DDR for 2GB.

SDRAM[0].McEmemAdrCfgDev0 = 0x00080303;
SDRAM[0].McEmemAdrCfgDev1 = 0x00080303;
SDRAM[0].McEmemCfg = 0x00000800

and we Run the Memtest more that 70 Loops with this CFG in this we did not get any Error. So i dont think that the CFG is a Problem. Can you please Help us in Solving this Issue.
