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] Trouble to build U-Boot under Red Hat 7.3
by Ken Chou 05 Nov '02

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

[U-Boot-Users] [Fwd: [PPCBoot-users] DHCP updating environment???]
by Steven Scholz 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

Hi there, I asked this quetsion before. But on the PPCBoot mailing list. So here again on the new list: -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [PPCBoot-users] DHCP updating environment??? Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2002 16:46:47 +0100 From: Steven Scholz <steven.scholz(a)imc-berlin.de> To: PPCBoot <ppcboot-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Hi folks, is there a reason why BootpCopyNetParams() in bootp.c does _not_ setenv the ipaddr? If I set autoload=n I want to use the dhcp command just to get the IP address from the server. But PPCBoot only sets the "bootfile" variable and nothing more! Wouldn't it make sense to set all the params we got from the DHCP server? Well, at least the ones we're interessted in (see CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK). Thanks, Steven

[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. Wolfgang, should I send you my tools/lkc-1.2 part of u-boot? -- MN-Logistik GmbH http://www.mn-logistik.de Holger Schurig Dieselstr. 18 61191 Rosbach v.d.Höhe Tel: 06003/9141-0 Fax: 06003/9141-49

[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] update for CSB226
by Robert Schwebel 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

Hi, here is an updated patch for the Cogent CSB226 board (PXA250). Some details which might require discussion: arminfrastructure ----------------- - The "reset" code didn't work for me in the version which was in the repository. 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.
