Scope This document describes the known errata found on Atmel’s AT91 ARM ® Thumb ® -based Microcontroller series AT91SAM9G45 device engineering samples with a date code prior to 0927. It applies to devices: • AT91SAM9G45 (with marking: CU-ES) 1.1 Marking All devices are marked with the Atmel logo and the ordering code. AT91 ARM Thumb-based Microcontrollers AT91SAM9G45 Errata Sheet Additional marking is as follows: YYWW V XXXXXXXXX ARM where • “YY”: manufactory year • “WW”: manufactory week • “V”: revision • “XXXXXXXXX”: lot number 6485B–ATARM–28-Sep-09 2. Errata 2.1 2.1.1 DDRSDRAM Controller (DDRSDRC) DDRSDRC: DDR2 Multi-port Read Optimization Read optimization does not work for the multi-port DDR2. This feature is enabled by default in the DDRSDRC_HS register at offset 0x2C in the DDRSDRC user interface. Problem Fix/Workaround Read optimization must be disabled by software by setting the DIS_ANTICIP_READ bit. 2.2 2.2.1 Error Corrected Code Controller (ECC) ECC: Computation with a 1 clock cycle long NRD/NWE pulse If the SMC is programmed with NRD/NWE pulse length equal to 1 clock cycle, HECC cannot compute the parity. Problem/Fix Workaround It is recommended to program SMC with a value superior to 1. 2.3 2.3.1 Internal Memory ROM Code: SAM-BA® through USB The connection through USB to the SAM-BA monitor does not work. Problem Fix/Workaround Use JTAG or serial port to communicate with SAM-BA monitor. Note: 2.3.2 See the steps described below. AT91SAM9G45-ES ROM Code Replacement Procedure to install AT91SAM9G45-ES ROM code replacement: Prior to any operation, the user needs to install AT91-ISP.exe 1.13 and unzip AT91SAM9G45_RomCode_Replacement.zip file that contains a version of ROM binary code with USB issue fixed. Check and conform to the following Default Jumpers Settings. 2 AT91SAM9G45 Errata 6485B–ATARM–28-Sep-09 AT91SAM9G45 Errata Figure 2-1. Default Jumpers Settings Once done, the following steps are necessary to store this version of ROM code in DataFlash. 1. unplug power supply 2. unplug USB device cable 3. remove jumper JP10 (NandFlash Chip Select) & JP12 (DataFlash Chip Select) 4. plug serial cable 5. launch hyper terminal (115,200 bauds, 8 bits, parity none, 1 stop bit, no flow control) 6. plug-in power supply 7. type on hyper terminal: "Alt-0128 Alt-0128 #" 8. AT91SAM9G45-EKES returns ">" 9. close hyper terminal 10. close jumper JP12 (DataFlash® Chip Select) 11. launch SAM-BA (Choose right COM port and AT91SAM9G45-EKES) 12. choose DataFlash media tab in the SAM-BA GUI interface 3 6485B–ATARM–28-Sep-09 13. initialize DataFlash, choosing the Enable action in the Scripts rolling menu and press Execute 14. choose Send boot file, press Execute 15. select AT91SAM9G45_RomCode_Replacement.bin binary file and press Open; the media is written down 16. close SAM-BA On Reset, the faulty ROM code will copy the fixed ROM code in SRAM and launch it. The connexion through USB to the SAM-BA monitor will work. Note: 2.3.3 Boot from DataFlash media will no longer be available for other purpose. ROM Code: SDCARD SDCARD boot is not supported. Problem Fix/Workaround None 2.4 2.4.1 Image Sensor Interface (ISI) ISI: Codec Path is disabled The ISI Codec path is disabled after the capture of each frame and so requires to be enabled before the capture of the next frame. This may lead to discarding some frames if the frame rate is high. Problem Fix/Workaround None 2.5 2.5.1 LCD Controller (LCDC) LCDC: LCD formula to compute LCD Pixel Clock The LCD formula to compute the LCD pixel clock is system_clock/2*(CLKVAL+1) instead of system_clock/(CLKVAL+1). Problem Fix/Workaround None 2.6 2.6.1 High Speed MultiMedia Card Interface (HSMCI) HSMCI: R1B Busy Timing Busy line is sampled 2 clock cycles after the command End Bit when the R1B response type is expected. This timing is not strictly defined in SD mode. This timing is defined in MMC Specification V4.3. (R1B busy Timing) Problem/Fix Workaround The user must poll the D0 (busy line) through the PIO Controller and wait for a rising edge on that line. 4 AT91SAM9G45 Errata 6485B–ATARM–28-Sep-09 AT91SAM9G45 Errata 2.7 2.7.1 Pulse Width Modulation Controller (PWM) PWM: Zero Period It is impossible to update a period equal to 0 by using the PWM_CUPD register. Problem/Fix Workaround None 2.8 2.8.1 Reset Controller (RSTC) RSTC: NRST Signal, input mode not available at startup The NRST input mode power-up is not available at reset. The NRST mode is output at powerup. Problem Fix/Workaround None 2.9 2.9.1 Serial Synchronous Controller (SSC) SSC: Clock is Transmitted before the SSC is enabled SSC configuration: • Performs a SW reset, • Program the receive and the transmit frame synchro, • Program the transmit and the receive clock as continuous (CKO = Continuous Receive and Transmit Clock) => the clock is transmitted. Problem Fix/Workaround Configure PIO lines for SSC usage after first enabling the SSC. 2.9.2 SSC: Last RK Clock Cycle when RK Outputs a Clock during data transfer When the SSC receiver is used with the following conditions: • the internal clock divider is used (CKS = 0 and DIV different from 0) • RK pin set as output and provides the clock during data transfer (CKO = 2) • data sampled on RK falling edge (CKI = 0) At the end of the data cycle, the RK pin is set in high impedance which might be seen as an unexpected clock cycle. Problem Fix/Workaround Enable the pull-up on RK pin. 2.9.3 SSC: First RK Clock Cycle when RK Outputs a Clock during data transfer When the SSC receiver is used with the following conditions: • RX clock is divided clock (CKS = 0 and DIV different from 0) • RK pin set as output and provides the clock during data transfer (CKO = 2) • data sampled on RK falling edge (CKI = 0) The first clock cycle time generated by the RK pin is equal to MCK /(2 x (value +1)). 5 6485B–ATARM–28-Sep-09 Problem Fix/Workaround None. 2.9.4 SSC: Data sent without any frame synchro When SSC is configured with the following conditions: • RF is in input, • TD is synchronized on a receive START (any condition: START field = 2 to 7) • TF toggles at each start of data transfer • Transmit STTDLY = 0 • Check TD and TF after a receive START, The data is sent but there is not any toggle of the TF line Problem Fix/Workaround Transmit STTDLY must be different from 0. 2.9.5 SSC: Unexpected delay on TD output When SSC is configured with the following conditions: • TCMR.STTDLY more than 0 • RCMR.START = Start on falling edge/Start on Rising edge/Start on any edge • RFMR.FSOS = None (input) • TCMR.START = Receive Start Unexpected delay of 2 or 3 system clock cycles is added to TD output. Problem Fix/Workaround None 2.10 2.10.1 USB Host Port (UHP) UHP: OHCI Mode not functional The USB Host Port does not work in OHCI mode. Problem Fix/Workaround None 2.11 2.11.1 USB High Speed Device Port (UDPHS) UDPHS and UHPHS shared UTMI transceiver The switch allowing to share a UTMI transceiver between the host port and the device port works only when switching from host to device. It does not work when switching from device to host. Problem Fix/Workaround None 6 AT91SAM9G45 Errata 6485B–ATARM–28-Sep-09 AT91SAM9G45 Errata 2.12 Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART) 2.12.1 USART: RX impossible after any TX in ISO7816 mode T1 Reception is impossible after any transmission in ISO7816 mode T1. Problem/Fix Workaround Configure USART in ISO7816 Mode T0 + INACK = 1 in US_MR during the reception. Once reception is done, i.e. when the PDC Interruption ENDRX is received, reconfigure the USART in Mode T1 in US_MR prior to transmitting. 2.12.2 USART: Bad value in Number of Errors Register The Number of Errors Register (US_NER) always returns 0 instead of the ISO7816 error number.
