I was trying to load linux-2.4.4 in FADS860T board using u-boot-1.0.0. I have settted environment variables like ipaddr,serverip,ethaddr,bootargs bootfile and saved the environment. Then,i typed tftpboot to download image from server. Then,i typed bootm to start the booting process. System is stucked by showing "Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK" sequence of these events r given below.can u please suggest, what i need to do to come out from this. Thank you.

[U-Boot-Users] PPC: problem with syscalls
by Pierre AUBERT 06 Dec '02

06 Dec '02

Hello everybody, I've a problem with examples/timer.c. I've tried to launch it on my mpc860t board, if I start the timer and if I press a key after one or more interrupts occured, the u-boot crashes. The problem is that an interrupt handler uses a system call (mon_printf) while the main loop is inside a system call (mon_getc). During a system call, the LR and SRRx are saved at a fixed location (0xcf4, 0xcf8 and 0xcfc) then the return address of the mon_printf in the main loop is overridden by the return address of the mon_getc in the interrupt handler. To avoid this problem, I think that we need to use a stack to store the return addresses (and the SRRx) of the system calls. What's your opinion ? Best regards

[U-Boot-Users] RE: [PPCBoot-users] How to load Linux locally?
by Joe Hamman 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

Hi Francis, The best way to debug this is to set an internal hardware breakpoint at address 0. Use the terminal window command IHBD 0. It's easier than using the GUI. Start the target running and let UBoot load the kernel. When it jumps to location 0, you'll hit the breakpoint and be able to step through the code. The MMU is turned on very shortly (15-20 lines into the code), so you'll need to have the visionICE II configured with the CF MMU commands or it will get lost once translation is turned on.

Joe, I cannot thank you enough for the following step-by-step instructions that you have listed so clearly. It works! I am so happy to observe that the PPCBOOT decompressed the kernel image at the location that I have downloaded and see the message "## Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000) ...". But soon it died inside "InstructionTLBMiss". This would be a question not belonging here... Any way, as Wolfgang has been repeatedly stating "RTFM!!!". I guess I am simply overwhelmed with so much information out there that sometimes it is difficult to sift through them all to get the right answer. Once again, thanks to all you folks.

Hi Francis, If you cannot use ethernet, do it this way: Put the linux build environment back to its original form. Make pImage - this generates the file zImage, packaged with the mkimage utility. PPCboot knows this format. If the kernel distribution you are using does not support this, get one that does. Convert pImage to a .bdx file using visionCLICK. Go into the project configuration, go to the Load Options tab, and set the Apply +/- Bias to something like 100000. Don't forget to check the box to enable the bias. Save and exit the project configuartion dialog. Reboot the board (INN;GO <RETURN> at the BKM> prompt). Stop the PPCboot autoloader (if it is enabled) and get to the PPCboot prompt. In visionCLICK, stop the target (click on the stop sign icon or type 'ha' or 'halt' at the RUN> prompt). Then use the 'File | Load A Target Image' pulldown in visionCLICK to load the pImage.bdx. Start PPCboot running from where it left off (click on the green light icon or type 'go' at the BKM> prompt). At the PPCboot prompt, type 'imi 0x100000' to see if it recognizes the image you just loaded into ram. If recognized, use the 'bootm 0x100000' command to have PPCboot uncompress and launch the image. Don't forget to read all the docs on www.denx.de. Good luck!

Hi! After spending some time to modified the files for my custom PPC board, I finally got the ppcboot up and running ( to some degree). I programmed the ppcboot in flash at 0xfff0,0000, and after resetting the board the ppcboot will tell me that I have 16M DRAM starting at 0 to 0x00ff,ffff, and the ppcboot has relocated itself to 0x00fc,0000. If I hit any key at this time it stops the boot request and gets into the command mode, waiting for the user input. My next step is to try to load Linux locally without using FTP. I have built the vmlinux.srec and convert it into the bin format using the VisionClick ( yes, I do not have the BDI2100 but believe me I would have gotten one if the darn economy is not this bad!) The original address is linked at 0xc000,0000, but since I do not have any memory there I tried to build the vmlinux by modifying the KERNELLOAD to be 0x0080,0000, then loaded it to RAM using the VisionProbe. I then use the GO command of the ppcboot to jump to 0x0080,0000. As expected, it crashed. 1/ Is the Linux kernel always linked at 0xC000,0000? What if I do not have any memory there? 2/ In reading section 6 of the PPCBOOT's document, "Booting Embedded Linux", is the embedded Linux in this case means the compressed Linux kernel plus the bootstrap and decompressor, otherwise known as the Zimage or Pimage? 3/ I tried to use the bootm command to boot the "embedded kernel", (I guess it would be the zimage which I have loaded into RAM at location 0x0040,0000) but it returned with the "Bad Magic Number" message. How do I build the zimage so that I could pass this stage? I know that I am testing your patience with my stupid questions, which seems so obvious to most of you, but for a guy who is new in this area, please bear with me.

[U-Boot-Users] PATCH: Driver for the Epson SED13806 graphic controler
by Pierre AUBERT 25 Nov '02

25 Nov '02

Hello everybody, Please find attached a patch that add support for the Epson SED13806 graphic controller. This controller is used on the Embedded Planet ECCX daughter board. Please see the RPXClassic.h file for the details of the configuration. This patch also adds the support of the BMP logo in cfb_console driver. >From now, the cfb_console driver was only able to display the logo included in the file logo_linux.h. The MPC8xx LCD driver use the logo included in bmp_logo.h. This file is very easy to create because the tool bmp_logo is included in U-boot. I saw that the video driver for the MPC8xx use another logo created by easy_logo. I think that it would be nie to use only one file format in all the graphic drivers. To use the BMP logo with the cfb_console driver, add #define CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO in the board config file (see RPXClassic.h). This patch fixes also a warning in mkimage.c. CHANGELOG: * Patch by Pierre Aubert , 20 Nov 2002 Add driver for Epson SED13806 graphic controller. Add support for BMP logos in cfb_console driver. Best regards

[U-Boot-Users] MBX pcmcia patch bug fix...
by Rod Boyce 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

All, It would appear that the patch I submitted on the ppcboot mailing list some time ago to make the PCMCIA hardware work on the MBX board was missing one critical file. I discovered this because the u-boot software did not work. I have discovered the problem and corrected it. It would seem that the incorrect slot is being selected. I had created a define for this but forgot to include this is define in my patch list. There are the two files patched the new define is in pcmcia.h and the defiant being used in cmd_pcmcia.c <<cmd_pcmcia.c.patch>> <<pcmcia.h.patch>> Because u-boot is no longer a PowerPC only loader I suspect that this is the wrong place to add these define. There is a lot of hardware specific routines in the PCMCIA general modules that should be shifted out to CPU and board specific modules. I haven't thought up a better way to do this yet. If anybody else is working in this area on U-Boot and wants to compare notes let me know. Regards, Rod Boyce

[U-Boot-Users] Power On Self Tests
by Pierre AUBERT 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

Hello Everybody, During the power on self tests, the bootmode of the board is stored in the processor DPRAM. This location is hardcoded in commproc.h. The following patch adds the opportunity to override this value in the board config file. The position of this value in DPRAM depends on the usage of the DPRAM made by the operating system. For example, on an MPC860T, I've add #define CFG_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR 0x0ffc in the board config file to have the bootmode being the last word of the DPRAM. --- ppcboot-2.0.0/include/commproc.h 2002-10-16 13:31:18.000000000 +0200 +++ ppcboot-2.0.0-m/include/commproc.h 2002-11-21 10:42:31.000000000 +0100 @@ -77,7 +77,11 @@ #endif +#ifndef CFG_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR #define CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR 0x07FC +#else +#define CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR CFG_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR +#endif #define BD_IIC_START ((uint) 0x0400) // <- please use CPM_I2C_BASE !!

[U-Boot-Users] Crosscompiling pppd 2.4.1 with ELDK 2.0
by Tord Andersson 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

Hi, I am currently trying to cross-compile pppd with the ELDK 2.0 toolchain. To build in a native Intel RedHat 7.2 environment was no problem. However, when trying to crosscompile it seems that there are more things than CC to be altered. By changing the include file search path, I was able to build chat, but pppd seems to be a little harder. Is there anyone out there that might have some clues? Kind regards, Tord

[U-Boot-Users] Library order problem
by Pierre AUBERT 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

Hello everybody, I'm currently developping a driver for a LCD driver (the Epson SED13806 used on the Embedded Planet ECCX board). In this driver, I need to call board specific functions, then I added a file in the RPXClassic board directory. During the link phase, I have some errors because of undefined references to the board specific functions. These errors are due to the library order defined in the main Makefile. The board library is the first in the list. I've tried to change this order in the following way : LIBS = board/$(BOARDDIR)/lib$(BOARD).a LIBS += cpu/$(CPU)/lib$(CPU).a LIBS += lib_$(ARCH)/lib$(ARCH).a LIBS += fs/jffs2/libjffs2.a fs/fdos/libfdos.a LIBS += net/libnet.a LIBS += disk/libdisk.a LIBS += rtc/librtc.a LIBS += dtt/libdtt.a LIBS += drivers/libdrivers.a LIBS += post/libpost.a post/cpu/libcpu.a LIBS += common/libcommon.a LIBS += lib_generic/libgeneric.a becomes LIBS = cpu/$(CPU)/lib$(CPU).a LIBS += lib_$(ARCH)/lib$(ARCH).a LIBS += fs/jffs2/libjffs2.a fs/fdos/libfdos.a LIBS += net/libnet.a LIBS += disk/libdisk.a LIBS += rtc/librtc.a LIBS += dtt/libdtt.a LIBS += drivers/libdrivers.a LIBS += post/libpost.a post/cpu/libcpu.a LIBS += common/libcommon.a LIBS += lib_generic/libgeneric.a LIBS += board/$(BOARDDIR)/lib$(BOARD).a This modification solves my problem. I ran the MAKEALL script for 8xx, 8260, 824x and 74xx boards (I don't have any compiler for other processors) without any problem. What do you think about this modification ?

I don't think ranlib helps if symbols are backward referenced across library boundaries. GNU ld seems to be running only 1 pass over the libs.

[U-Boot-Users] PATCH: Add support for booting file from dos diskettes
by Pierre AUBERT 17 Nov '02

17 Nov '02

Dear Wolfgang, You will find attached a patch that add the support of the dos diskette. It adds commands to boot a file from a dos diskette or from a subdirectory of a dos diskette and to list content from dos diskette. fdosboot [offset] [filename]: boot a file from a dos diskette or from a subdirectory of the diskette. If the offset isn't specified, the file name must start wit the character " (as for the tftpboot command). The path of the filename is specified using the / as separator between directorie names. fdosls [dir]: list the content of the dos diskette or of a subdirectory. These two commands are embedded into U-Boot if CFG_CMD_FDOS is defined in CONFIG_COMMANDS. The handling of the dos filesystem is inspired from mtools. CHANGELOG: * Patch by Pierre Aubert , 12 Nov 2002 Add support of dos diskettes. Best regards.

[U-Boot-Users] MPC860T - UPM SRAM
by My-Hong Vuong 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Hi, I've been trying to get SRAM working with ppcboot v 2.0. My SRAM is a Samsung K1S321615M UtRAM - we are using this due to it's high capacity and low noise. I am using (largely butchered) code based on the gen860t. Currently I have it configured in ppcboot on CS2: #define BR2 0x00000081 #define OR2 0xfc000100 and my upm table is: 0x00f3fc04, 0x00f3cc04, 0x00f3cc04, 0x10f3ec04, 0xf1f7fc04, 0xfffffc04, 0x0fffcc24, 0x0fffcc04, 0x08ffcc00, 0x03ffcc4c, 0x08ffcc00, 0x03ffcc4c, 0x08ffcc00, 0x03ffcc4c, 0x08ffcc00, 0x33ffcc47, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffcc04, 0xc0ffdc04, 0x00ff4c04, 0x00ffcc04, 0x00ffcc04, 0x10ffec04, 0xf1fffc04, 0xfffffc04, 0x0fafcc04, 0x0cafcc00, 0x01afcc4c, 0x0cafcc00, 0x01afcc4c, 0x0cafcc00, 0x01afcc4c, 0x0cafcc00, 0x31bfcc43, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xc0ffcc84, 0xfffffc05, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0x33ffcc07, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff from mcuinit. dumping variables, i have MAMR at 0x00000000 and MPTPR at 0x0000 (i have not set MAR to anything tho) i have also made sure that my MCR has been set to CS2 -> to upmconfig() in cpu/mpc8xx/cpu.c i have modified the MCR line: memctl->memc_mcr = addr | upm | 0x00004100; with all this in place, I am quite certain that I have turned off the refresh timers associated with UPMA, however, ppcboot still refuses to copy successfully into SRAM. I tried to set a breakpoint at the "relocate_code" so by that time it should have configured the UPMA table, however, trying to even do a set {int} 0x0 = 0xaaaaaaaa does not work. AFAIK, it also does configure the UPMA table before setting or2 and br2. With the same parameters outlined above, I have been able to enter the same things using GDB - i have written macros to enter in the mdr/mcr variables as well as configure the BRx and ORx (I can write and read from SRAM). We have thought about using GPCM, but due to the SRAM requiring bank select functionality, it is a non-option. Can anyone help me with this problem?? Has anyone used similar technology - no DRAM?? Thanks in advance, My Hong Vuong

[U-Boot-Users] Special u-boot format for Kernels
by Holger Schurig 13 Nov '02

13 Nov '02

Hi Wolfgang ! When I did my adaption of armboot to my XScale boot, I decided to boot a zImage directly from memory. However, the standard way for u-boot seems to use the special packaged kernel image. For booting a Linux zImage, you simply jump to it's location (after setting up the registers). And you have to set up registers and jump to some extracted code anyway, no matter if you if the zImage is already there or if it just got extracted out of some mkimage-made image. Setting up the rigth registers with the right info is OS dependend anyway. What is the reason for this, why do you think the image approach is better --- or even necessary? Don't read this as a critique, I really don't understand the motivation behind this.

[U-Boot-Users] i386 port of ppcboot
by Daniel Engström 13 Nov '02

13 Nov '02

Hello all, I have made a preliminary port of ppcboot to i386 processors. The code runs on a AMD SC520 CDP (AMD reference design for the SC520 486 system on a chip device) and boots a linux kernel to promt from the on board flash. I am in the process of making a patch file and finding some web-spece to publish it on, I will announce when the patch is availabe on the web. If anyone wants to see it right now, you can email me and ask for the patch (~38kb compressed). The code is based on a ppcboot cvs-snapshot from October 28, but I intend to move to U-boot as soon as I have pulished the first version. /Daniel

[U-Boot-Users] [patch] set environment on bootp without autoload and continue execution
by Andreas Oberritter 11 Nov '02

11 Nov '02

Hi, attached is a patch which changes the behaviour of NetLoop(). I am using a board, which has its own bootloader and which loads u-boot via bootp/tftp. u-boot needs to get its network settings from that bootp server too, but to load the linux kernel via bootp/tftp it must use a different filename than given by the bootp server. the beginning of the u-boot commandline looks like this: setenv autoload no; bootp; tftpboot 100000 kernel The current version of u-boot stops executing the commandline before tftpboot, because the bootp command returns an error, when NetLoop() returns zero. Currently NetLoop returns the loaded file size or zero on failure. If you do not load a file, then file size stays zero and will be interpreted as a failure, too. This also prevents netboot_update_env() from being called in cmd_net.c. This patch changes the behaviour so that NetLoop returns -1 on error. Zero and positive integers can then be handled as the file size correctly. It also removes a warning in list.h. ;) Best Regards, Andreas

[U-Boot-Users] FDC patch
by Pierre AUBERT 10 Nov '02

10 Nov '02

Hello, The attached patch modify the fdcboot source code to support wide hardware designs I needed to add some defines because : - on some boards, the fdc registers aren't contiguous (for example they can be aligned on a 32 bits boundary). - the fdc chipset has a 8 bits data bus. Then, it can be connected on the processor data bus on D0-D7 or D8-D15 or D16-D23 or D24-D31. - the floppy drive can be on drive other than 0. - some chipsets need extra initializations. CFG_ISA_IO_STRIDE : defines the spacing between fdc chipset registers (default value 1) CFG_ISA_IO_OFFSET : defines the offset of register from address. It depends on which part of the data bus is connected to the fdc chipset. (default value 0) CFG_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER : the default drive number (default value 0) If CFG_ISA_IO_STRIDE CFG_ISA_IO_OFFSET and CFG_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their default value. if CFG_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the fdc setup. The function fdc_hw_init must be provided by the board source code. It is used to make hardware dependant initializations. CHANGELOG: * Patch by Pierre Aubert , 05 Nov 2002 Hardware relative improvments in fdc booting Best regards

What you are forgetting is there the list of supported board currently in U-Boot are not all the configurations available. There are configurations that make Wolfgang's example look very simple that are not released back to U-Boot for one reason or another. The flash sector that holds our environment variables in our flash is 128K. I know that I am going to have to add whatever configuration mechanism you add to our close source boards and this is my problem and I've hacked the kernel config files about enough to do this but I still say... If it isn't broke why fix it.

For me it looks EASIER. A complete description of what is configurable is in the config.in files. Right now, I have to do things like grep '^#if' `find -name '*.c'` | sort | unique to find out what is actually configurable. And then it's only slightly documented, and dependencies are not laid out clearly. > And finally - has > anybody benchmarked the speed of such a new config scheme? I doubt there is much difference... once you've run make config|xconfig|oldconfig|menuconfig, you have to files. One is includeable by "Makefile"s, the other one into C programs. You simply include this and that's it. I can't see why this should slowdown the compilation process. One thing that might be a little time difference is the cp board/<boardname>/def-configs .config make oldconfig. However, running "make oldconfig" on the current Bitkeeper tree of www.openzaurus.org is negligible: /usr/src/buildroot-oz# touch packages/config.in /usr/src/buildroot-oz# touch .config /usr/src/buildroot-oz# times make oldconfig 0.22user 0.09system 0:00.32elapsed 94%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (5351major+2500minor)pagefaults 0swaps But then again the combined length of all config.in of this project is only 754 lines with now only 202 configurable variables (I have an 850 MHz AMD with 1967 bogomips and the hard disk cache was "warm").

by Rod Boyce 08 Nov '02

All, I know progress is a thing that cannot be stopped and change is sometimes positive. But my preference is that we stick with the make file configuration approach. It is small easy to add new configurations of either boards or CPUs. What is more when starting out it is easy to follow what is going on with a make file I maybe an old dog who doesn't like change but... if it isn't broken why fix it? Regards, Rod Boyce

The handy thing about the COMMANDS bitmask was that it made it easy to use the default set of commands. You only had to specify special/exotic commands _on top_ of that.

[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] lkc support for U-Boot
by Robert Schwebel 06 Nov '02

06 Nov '02

Hi, I just had a look at Holger Schurig's lkc configuration support. Here: http://www.pengutronix.de/software/csb226_de.html you'll find a patch which does the following: - add "make menuconfig" and "make xconfig" support based on lkc-1.2 and lxdialog-2.5.46 (targets have been added to toplevel makefile) - the original sources are used, plus a small patch for lkc which can be found in tools/lkc-1.2-u-boot.diff (basically avoids that it claims to be the Linux kernel, plus some path adjustments). This means that we can easily upgrade the system to newer versions of lxdialog and lkc. - lxdialog lives in tools/lxdialog/, lkc in tools/lkc-1.2/. No further files are touched. config.in files have at the moment only been taken from Holger's archive, this had to be extended in the future, and naturally the build system had to be adjusted to _use_ the .config file :-) This approach has the advantage that it is completely independend from the old config system, so both can live in parallel for some time. All the config system does is to generate a .config file from the config.in descriptions. This .config file can be used in the board support code; old boards which don't use them can do what they did before, new ones can use it. Comments? Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.

Fair enough. I was afraid it would cause more trouble than benefit, but with a real-world case at hand thats proves me wrong, forget what I said. I haven't been following up lately on the CML2 stuff, but it's good to hear it's dead as far as the kernel is concerned.

I thought you were referring to gcc's terminology of "stages". There, anything higher thant stage 1 is compiled by itself which obviously won't work cross. What you call stage1 is sometimes (and in Elinos, too) called a "bootstrap gcc". However: u-boot should be compilable with such a bootstrap gcc, as it should not be dependent on glibc. (It is bad enogh for it to be so dependent on several Linux headers, but that is a compromise to be able to reuse code from Linux - we had that before).

I don't know if it is your problem, but I had a similar problem the first time I tried to make ppcboot in a clean directory. Try touch include/config.h include/config.mk and then do your make <boardconfig> I think that fixed it for me, but I'm not sure why or maybe it was something else that I did... Just out of curiosity, do a which rm and see what it says. RedHat likes to create an alias for "rm" to be "rm -i". That is considered to be Really Bad Form in unix circles. The unixlore rule is: never alias a command name because it causes unexpected grief when options that you may not have wanted mysteriously are turned on. gvb At 10:12 AM 11/5/2002 -0500, kchou(a)istor.com wrote: >Hi, > >I just download the U-Boot. >There is one problem on the first try. > >rm -f include/config.h include/config.mk >/bin/sh: - >: unrecognized option >make: *** [Sandpoint8245_config] Error 1 >System not configured - see README >make: *** [all] Error 1 >ppc_82xx-size: ppcboot: No such file or directory > >It seems like the option is not recognized by the sh. > >"sh --version" shows > >GNU bash, version 2.05a.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu) >Copyright 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc. > >I tried to edit the mkconfig. >To take the -e away in #!/bin/sh -e >However, it gave another error "./mkconfig command not found" > >I am not familiar with shell. >Could someone give a hint? > >Thanks, >Ken > > > >------------------------------------------------------- >This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm >Tungsten T handheld.

[U-Boot-Users] custom 8245 board & exceptions
by "Callebaut, Benoît" 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

Hello, This is my first project with a PowerPC. Our board is loosely based on the Sandpoint 8245 Unity board. The main difference is that it contains also a DSP and FPGA. The PowerPC related part is only composed of the MPC8245 running as PCI agent , 16MB of SDRAM, 2 Flash ("primary" of 512KB and second one of 8MB) and the PCI bus (no serial port->no console) I can Flash PPCBOOT with the BDI and use he SDRAM. I modified the putc and puts functions to write in a circular buffer located in RAM. The problem is that that doesn't always work. I receive a "data storage interrupt" coming from the function initdram. Note that the circular buffer is initialized just after initdram and that the position of the buffer and its data structure is hard wired in the program. I receive sometime a TLB miss exception What can be the cause of that since I didn't changed anything in the memory management code ? I received before also a decrementer interrupt and I disabled the bit for it. I don't understand clearly the usefulness of this. Does it work like a watchdog ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Benoit Callebaut Software Development Engineer Barco | Control Rooms Noordlaan 5, 8520 Kuurne, Belgium Tel +32(0)56 36 84 28 Fax +32(0)56 36 86 05 mailto:benoit.callebaut@barco.com http://www.barcocontrolrooms.com - - - - - - - DISCLAIMER - - - - - - - - Unless indicated otherwise, the information contained in this message is privileged and confidential, and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s) named above and others who have been specifically authorized to receive it.

[U-Boot-Users] Linux Kernel Config 1.2 for u-boot?
by Holger Schurig 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

Hi ! Wouldn't it be nice to port lkc-1.2 to u-boot? I know that OpenZaurus already uses the system and I liked it there. Yesterday evening I downloaded lkc-1.2 and patched it a little bit so that it workes in the u-boot tree. "make xconfig" already works. However, the real work will be the config.in files. When I, for example, look at include/configs/dnp1110.h then I see lot's of defines and comments. With lkc, this would be very different. We would have a config.in file (most probably more than one file) which defines what is definable and also contains the code. The default-configs for the the boards would be automatically done. This would be a tremendous change of focus, but I guess it might be worth it. It would give much structure.

I've added a reset routine which works on the PXA250, but I suspect the old variant might have run on some other XScale processor? If yes, we should sort it out to some processor specific file, if no my code can simply go in. - lib_arm/armlinux.c: progress callbacks added csb226 ------ - progress information added - added a function to access the LEDs (which are used as progress indicators during boot) - fixed flash erase routine (works now); writing is still broken general ------- - cmd_bootm.c: more verbose error message Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.

You should not try to add this function as is to U-Boot. Instead, add the incomation contained in it (like initial values for special registers, UPM tables and RAM init sequence) to your new board config file (include/configs/viper.h) resp. your new board dependend C code (board/viper/viper.c).

[U-Boot-Users] CVS Write Access to Das U-Boot
by Marius Groeger 04 Nov '02

Dear Wolfgang, As the maintainer of the ARMboot project I welcome your effort to merge the PPCboot and ARMboot sources and making them available within the U-Boot project. Here at SYSGO, we are ready to discontinue the ARMboot project in favour of U-Boot, if we can continue our work on the U-Boot source tree. Therefore I would appreciate to have CVS write access to the U-Boot's source repository on SF.NET. Efficient Open Source development requires working along the "Release Early, Release Often" scheme. This is severely hampered if all updates are channelled through one person, who might not always be available. With the software already growing faster than we all ever thought possible, it only makes sense to split responsibilities. For that reason, we would like to keep our attention on the ARM portions on the tree. Obviously, changes in the common code must be discussed first with the maintainers, better yet, with the community. Also, to be honest, it appears a bit rude to me to take our ARMboot sources, and then just cut us off. It seems only natural to me that we both continue doing what we have done all along, only with more benefit for all of us. Please let's keep this an _open_ project, not one where only one member has the power.

[U-Boot-Users] Welcome notice

Hi Everybody, nice to meet you (again) on this list! This is just to let you know that "Das U-Boot" is on target for the first release. A working version is available on the CVS server - basicly it's identical to PPCBoot-2.0.0 which it is based on, with a globale renaming and some (minor) cleanup added. Also, the first patches have been merged. Please note: The "official" name of this project is "Das U-Boot". The spelling "U-Boot" shall be used in all written text (documentation, comments in source files etc.). Example: This is the README file for the U-Boot project. File names etc. shall be based on the string "u-boot". Examples: include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h #include <asm/u-boot.h> Variable names, preprocessor constants etc. shall be either based on the string "u_boot" or on "U_BOOT". Example: U_BOOT_VERSION u_boot_logo IH_OS_U_BOOT u_boot_hush_start For patches and contributions please see the hints in the README file.
