Dear all,
I have to boot-up a device based on Hitachi uP with external SDRAM (2x256Mb). The device was designed by somebody else and I only have to get it working. However there is something that bothers me very much. Probably to easen PCB layout the designer has mixed data and address lines for SDRAM: i.e. pin D0 of SDRAM is connected to pin D7 of uP. All other interface signals (RAS#,CAS#,CLK,CKE,UDQM,LDQM,WE#,CE#) are connected correctly. While mixing data lines seems ok to me (let me know if I'm wrong) mixing address lines looks unacceptable. Here are the connections:
SDRAM uP
------------------ A0 A5 A1 A4 A2 A3 A3 A2 A4 A14 A5 A13 A6 A12 A7 A11 A8 A10 A9 A9 A10 A6 A11 A8 A12 A7
BA0 A15 (bank select) BA1 A16 (bank select)
Will this connection work? For the time being I know that I must forget burst transfers. Are there any obstacles for SDRAM in this configuration to work with 1-byte burst transfers?
Thanks Wlad
