DDR: Valid VRef Range Must be Defined During LPDDR4 Command Bus Training
The DDR PHY updates VREF(ca) for the command/address bus during LPDDR4 Command Bus Training (CBT). If VREF(ca) search range is set to invalid values such as no working settings can be found during CBT, the training process could fail or hang.
Set the following fields to known valid working values before enabling CBT.
For frequency set 0: PI_CALVL_VREF_INITIAL_START_POINT_F0 and PI_CALVL_VREF_INITIAL_STOP_POINT_F0
For frequency set 1: PI_CALVL_VREF_INITIAL_START_POINT_F1 and PI_CALVL_VREF_INITIAL_STOP_POINT_F1
For frequency set 2: PI_CALVL_VREF_INITIAL_START_POINT_F2 and PI_CALVL_VREF_INITIAL_STOP_POINT_F2
Recommendation is to use the nominal VRef value (based on the device programming of drive strength on the processor and termination in the memory) +/- 4%. Please use the online DDR Register Configuration Tool at http://dev.ti.com/sysconfig to program these registers and check the Revision History to ensure this workaround has been addressed in the version of the tool being used.
