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.
