Problem with external memory - XUP V2P board

[Alexq16]

Hi!

Recently I started using the XUPV2P board, which includes the kingston memory (KVR266X64C25/512 ). So I created a simple project with PowerPC and some peripherals such as UART, Pushbuttons, Leds,etc. When I downloaded the .bit from EDK 10.1.03 it worked fine, since in the hyperterminal I could see the memory test. Then I changed the linker in order to run the TestApp_Memory from the external memory DDR _SDRAM.

The problem is that although the memory test runs, as can be seen from the XDM output below, it does not show the memory test results on the hyperterminal.

I was searching on Xilinx web site and I noticed that this board has problems when the MPMC module interface is used with the external memory (KVR266X64C25/512 ). This can be found in this post:

I also tried tweaking the 512MB DDR memory to work with the XUP as it is explained in this blog:

http://fpgaimageprocessing.blog.com...-with-the-xup-virtex-2-pro-development-board/

However, I got the same problem, the hyperterminal does not show the memory test results when the application is running from the external memory.

Has anyone run successfully an application from the external memory KVR266X64C25/512 of the XUP V2P board?

Any guidance will be appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
