1. Article purpose[edit source]
This article explains how to configure the DDRCTRL and DDRPHYC internal peripherals from the first stage bootloader.
The configuration is performed using the device tree mechanism that provides a hardware description of the DDR subsystem (DDR controler and DDR PHY peripheral), and embeds the configuration used by the first stage bootloader to initialize the DDR before loading the second stage bootloader.
The DDR settings are only used in the device tree of the boot chain FSBL, that is, in the TF-A device tree for OpenSTLinux official delivery (or in SPL only for the DDR tuning tool).
Even if the DDR node information is also present in the U-Boot device tree, only st,mem-size is used by this SSBL.
2. DT bindings documentation[edit source]
The DDR subsystem is a 'memory-controller' device represented by the device tree bindings documented below:
- TF-A: docs/devicetree/bindings/memory-controllers/st,stm32mp1-ddr.txt"[1]
- U-Boot: doc/device-tree-bindings/ram/st,stm32mp1-ddr.txt"[2]
3. DT configuration[edit source]
This hardware description is a combination of the STM32 microprocessor device tree files (.dtsi extension) and board device tree files (.dts extension). See the Device tree for an explanation of the device-tree file split.
STM32CubeMX can be used to generate this DDR board device tree. Refer to How to configure the DT using STM32CubeMX for more details.
3.1. DT configuration (STM32 level)[edit source]
The STM32MP1 DDR node is located in stm32mp15-ddr.dtsi[3] (see Device tree for further explanation).

3.3.2. STM32CubeMX configuration file[edit source]
STM32CubeMX generates a .dtsi file with the needed values as defines (named DDR_...), and includes the #Generic DDR dtsi file "stm32mp15-ddr.dtsi"[3]: as this dtsi file is preprocessed during FSBL compilation, it generates a correct device tree.
For example the file fdts/stm32mp15-ddr3-1x4Gb-1066-binG.dtsi is:
#define DDR_MEM_NAME "DDR3-1066/888 bin G 1x4Gb 533MHz v1.45"
#define DDR_MEM_SPEED 533000
#define DDR_MEM_SIZE 0x20000000
#define DDR_MSTR 0x00041401
#define DDR_MRCTRL0 0x00000010
#define DDR_MRCTRL1 0x00000000
#define DDR_DERATEEN 0x00000000
#define DDR_DERATEINT 0x00800000
.....
#define DDR_DX2DQSTR 0x3DB02000
#define DDR_DX3GCR 0x0000CE80
#define DDR_DX3DLLCR 0x40000000
#define DDR_DX3DQTR 0xFFFFFFFF
#define DDR_DX3DQSTR 0x3DB02000
#include "stm32mp15-ddr.dtsi"
3.3.3. Generic DDR dtsi file[edit source]
The dtsi file used with DDR_ defines for STM32MP15x lines is stm32mp15-ddr.dtsi

4. How to configure the DT using STM32CubeMX[edit source]
The STM32CubeMX tool can be used to configure the STM32MPU device and get the corresponding platform configuration device tree files.
The STM32CubeMX supports all the defines described in the above DT bindings documentation paragraph with a generated included file "stm32mp15-mx.h"; it is included in the mx dts file before the #Generic DDR dtsi file . Refer to the STM32CubeMX user manual and the dedicated application note[4] for further information.
See also How_to_create_your_board_device_tree#DDR configuration with STM32CubeMX DDR Tuning Tool.
