Intermittent ram issues on Carambola 2 boards #5

Open codehero opened 6 years ago

codehero commented 6 years ago

I am having very intermittent stability issues using both Caraboot and pepe-2k. Both u-boot versions assume a tRAS value of 40 ns This was true when the Carambola2 module used the W9751G6JB25 DDR2 module. However, I popped off the cap of a newer Carambola2 module and it now uses W9751G6KB25

According to line in include/configs/carambola2.h

define CFG_DDR_CONFIG_VAL 0x7fbc8cd0

tRAS is still specified at 40 ns

Should the default safe value be at 45 ns???

See datasheets

Hi,

Carambola2 actually uses 200MHz DDR clock so: tCK = 1/200MHz = 5ns tRAS = (0x10) * 5ns = 80ns Which is OK with both DDR chips used.

Have you tried running memtest on unstable devices, if not please try (https://github.com/mantas-p/files/blob/master/memtest_mipsbe/memtester?raw=true) Run like this: /tmp/memtester 40M Leave for few hours, see if any errors come up.

Are there any specific conditions when issue happens, or it is completely random? How often you get crashes? Do you have any logs to share?

Are you using 8devices devboard or your own design? If it's your design, please contact support@8devices.com we may have suggestions regarding HW design.

This is a custom design.

I have memtester running now on some units I am confused by the following line then:

[ 0.000000] Clocks: CPU:400.000MHz, DDR:400.000MHz, AHB:200.000MHz, Ref:40.000MHz Is not the DDR speed 400 MHz??

The crashes are quite random. Sometimes often, sometimes never even under stress loads, such as stress -c 64

Here is a crashlog

Is not the DDR speed 400 MHz??

This is PLL output to DDR controller, DRAM clock line runs at 200MHz, I've checked with oscilloscope.

Crash log definitely looks like DRAM issue. Did you find anything with memtester? We ran it overnight with (W9751G6KB25) module - no issue reproduced.

How many Carambola2 samples you're having issue with? Did any previous batch worked well in your design?

codehero commented 6 years ago

History Over the past year I have been using several different openwrt (original with carambola, Designated Driver, LEDE 17.01.5). -I do not have data for the original in terms of crashes -I saw most instability with DD -LEDE has shown user level instability, but I am unsure if this is related to DRAM

Testing So I am focusing on the present batch of units (dozens) with LEDE running on custom systems with good running subystems. I had been having issues with memtester crashing the kernel, so I have been using

stress -c 64 -m 16 --vm-bytes 1M

I am ran 5 overnight tests.. None have system crashed so far but I have seen

           do_page_fault(): sending SIGSEGV to dnsmasq for invalid read access from 003fdad4

[38599.019192] epc = 003fdad5 in [38599.020123] dnsmasq[400000+1f000] [38599.020742] ra = 0040d961 in [38599.021726] dnsmasq[400000+1f000]

I am not sure if this a bug in the kernel, DRAM error, or userland error. On a malfunctioning test unit from a few months ago I saw several messages like this for random processes, resulting in eventual system crash.

I will take the rest of this issue to the support email, but I would still like to document the final resolution here.

@codehero , I get a similar crash ( on a custom board too) but its fairly repeatable when I cycle the Wifi system ( change channel or tx power and then reload wifi ).

a bug report on LEDE's bug system was logged, but I did not get anywhere other than it possibly being a DRAM issue.

What in the crashlog leads one to the DRAM issue ( corrupt addresses ? )

I'm running memtest 40M to see if the crash happens due to memory read/writes.

Do you have inline Resistors on your DRAM lines ( like Arduino Yun and some other AR9331 designs ) or are they directly connected and only length matched ?

We're also using Winbond W9751G6KB RAM ( like in https://github.com/pepe2k/u-boot_mod/issues/207 )
