This is a virtual "board" that uses configuration files and Kconfig to define the memory layout used by a real board during the board bring-up process. It generates an SPL image that can be loaded using imx_usb or SB_LOADER.exe. When run, it will generate a set of calibration constants for use in either or both a DCD configuration file for boards that use u-boot.imx or struct mx6_mmdc_calibration for boards that boot via SPL. In essence, it is a configurable, open-source variant of the Freescale ddr-stress tool. https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-105652 File mx6memcal_defconfig configures the board for use with mx6sabresd or mx6qsabreauto.

mx6memcal - a tool for calibrating DDR on i.MX6 boards. The mx6memcal board isn't a real board, but a tool for use in bring-up of new i.MX6 board designs. It provides a similar function to the tool from NXP([1]) with a number of advantages: 1. It's open-source, so it's easier to change if needed. Typical reasons for needing to change include the use of alternate UARTs and PMIC initialization. 2. It produces an image that's directly loadable with imx_usb [2] or SB_LOADER.exe [3]. The NXP tool requires either a cumbersome JTAG connection that makes running the DDR very slow or a working U-Boot image that suffers from a chicken-and-egg problem (i.e. where do you get the DDR parameters for U-Boot?). 3. It doesn't prompt for parameters, so it's much faster to gather data from multiple boards. 4. Parameters to the calibration process can be chosen through 'make menuconfig'. When booted, the mx6memcal board will run the DDR calibration routines and display the result in a form suitable for cut and paste into struct mx6_mmdc_calibration. It can also optionally produce output in a form usable in a DCD-style .cfg file. Selections in Kconfig allow most system design settings to be chosen: 1. The UART number and pad configuration for the UART. Options include support for the most frequent reference designs on i.MX6DQ/SDL (SABRE Lite and SABRESD designs). 2. The memory bus width (64 and 32-bit) 3. The number of chip-selects in use 4. The type of DDR (DDR3 or LPDDR2). Note that LPDDR2 support is incomplete as of this writing. 5. The type of DDR chips in use. This selection allows re-use of common parts and four DDR3 and two LPDDR2 parts are currently defined 6. The On-die termination value for the DRAM lines 7. The DRAM drive strength 8. The RTT_NOM and RTT_WR termination settings 9.
