Hi all,

I see that in the NXP firmware-imx package different versions of the
LPDDR4 train firmware is included but I cannot find a Release Note or
something else that describes the differences. Does anyone know what
is the correct version to be used?

Here is the content of the latest NXP release:
lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_dmem_201904.bin
lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_dmem_202006.bin
lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_dmem.bin
lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_imem_201904.bin
lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_imem_202006.bin
lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_imem.bin
lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_dmem_201904.bin
lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_dmem_202006.bin
lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_dmem.bin
lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_imem_201904.bin
lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_imem_202006.bin
lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_imem.bin

Thanks

Doesn't it depend on which generation of MScale one is using?

Anyway, from NXP's user guide [1]:

For i.MX 8M Quad and i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVK, copy lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_dmem.bin,
lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_imem.bin, lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_dmem.bin, and lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_imem.bin from
firmware/ddr/synopsys of firmware-imx package to imx-mkimage/iMX8M/.

For i.MX 8M Mini DDR4 EVK, copy ddr4_imem_1d.bin, ddr4_dmem_1d.bin, ddr4_imem_2d.bin, and ddr4_dmem_2d.bin
from firmware/ddr/synopsys of firmware-imx package to imx-mkimage/iMX8M.

For i.MX 8M Plus LPDDR4 EVK, copy lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_dmem_201904.bin, lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_imem_201904.bin,
lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_dmem_201904.bin, and lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_imem_201904.bin from firmware/ddr/synopsys of
firmware-imx package to imx-mkimage/iMX8M/.

So their latest documentation does not even mention the later firmware available!

Ok, I didn't even notice that and I just wanted to make sure I was
using the right ones here. Maybe someone can tell us the use case for
the "*_202006.bin" files.

Okay, I guess NXP uses it for their proprietary imx-mkimage stuff for the i.MX 8M Plus:

https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-mkimage/tree/iMX8M/soc.mak?h=imx_5.4.70_2.3.0#n64

But, as mentioned above, I could not find any official documentation not to mention release notes about any of
this anywhere.

@NXP: Anybody mind telling us more about this?

Please use the one mentioned in imx-mkimage matching the release tag.
The documentation was missed to be updated, thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks,
