[U-Boot-Users] AT91RM9200 and -mtune=arm7dtmi ???
by Steven Scholz 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

Hi there, the file cpu/at91rm9200/config.mk contains an option "-mtune=arm7tdmi". I am new to ARM processors so please bear my stupid question: The Atmel AT91RM9200 is and ARM9 / ATM920T. So shouldn't this option be different? Like "-mtune=atm920" or something? What is it good for anyway?

[U-Boot-Users] linux 2.6 kernel support for u-boot
by Holger Schurig 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

Hi ! I just saw that u-boot has now official support in the Linux 2.6 kernel. In Linus' current Bitkeeper tree was a checkin of a change that allows one to execute "make uImage": $ make -n V=1 uImage ... echo ' Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready' ... /bin/sh /usr/src/ramses/linux-2.6/scripts/mkuboot.sh -A arm \ -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0xa0008000 -e 0xa0008000 \ -n 'Linux-2.6.0-test7-bkpxa' -d arch/arm/boot/zImage \ arch/arm/boot/uImage ... echo ' Image arch/arm/boot/uImage is ready' -- Try Linux 2.6 from BitKeeper for PXA2x0 CPUs at http://www.mn-logistik.de/unsupported/linux-2.6/

[U-Boot-Users] u/zImage and 64360
by Ronen Shitrit 16 Oct '03

16 Oct '03

Hi 1. As specified in the U-Boot README: " Building a Linux Image: ----------------------- With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target "uImage" will exist which .... " Does it means I can't load a zImage of the kernel by using the tftp??? 2. Does anyone knows if there is already a u-boot version for the Marvell 64360 boards?? Thanks -- Ronen Shitrit M.S.I.L D.N.

[U-Boot-Users] MIPS support
by Ronen Shitrit 16 Oct '03

16 Oct '03

Hi I'm a little confused, in the web page http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot/ it says: "CPU architectures are supported: PowerPC(MPC5xx, MPC8xx, MPC82xx, MPC7xx, MPC74xx, 4xx), ARM(ARM7, ARM9, StrongARM, Xscale), MIPS(4Kc,5Kc)," but when I loaded the u-boot-0.4.0 version , I read the README file and there it says: "* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, Intel x86, IA64, MIPS, MIPS, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; Currently supported: PowerPC)." So I wanted to know if someone has a clue whether the README file isn't update or the web site, and if someone tried to run it on a MIPS. (I saw under the lib cpu that there is a dir for the MIPS) Thanks alot -- Ronen Shitrit M.S.I.L D.N.

They are a little description of the manner to port u-boot to a new board in the readme file. Look at this first.

[U-Boot-Users] Porting to a new board
by Curt Brune 16 Oct '03

16 Oct '03

Hi, I have an ARM7TDMI based board that is not currently supported by u-boot and I would like to have a go at it -- the board is described here: http://www.cucy.net/evb4510.pdf The boot loader that comes with the board is lame. It requires one to connect with a windows program to program the flash and to do other u-boot type things. I want to put u-boot on this board instead. Is there a "new board porting guide" or other porting related docs? Cheers, Curt
