Product: - u-boot Version: - 1.0.0-pre CHANGELOG: - Adding is_console_quiet() to support runtime changes in console output CVS Comments: - Adding the CFG_CONSOLE_IS_QUIET option to support runtime changes in console output. The is_console_quiet() function is used to determine the status of quiet mode. Quiet mode is based on the value of the "quiet" environment variable. Non-zero values indicate that quiet mode is active.

[U-Boot-Users] walnut 405gp bridge setting
by Xiaoshan Zuo 15 Oct '03

15 Oct '03

I have a customized walnut 405 gp board. While using u-boot the bridge was not set correclty. The problem was that the bridge didn't respond to requst. The problem was traced down to PCIC0_CMD[MA]=0 on the bridge. The bit is set correclty in pci_405gp_init, later it is got changed in pci_hose_scan_bus. It is not supposed to be changed, as suggested by the comment below in the code. But this comment contradict with function pci_hose_scan_bus which intentionly doesn't skip the bridge. Removing #ifndef in pci_hose_scan_bus makes the bridge work. My question is: is this a typo? Where can I search for u-boot mailing list archive? linuxppc is very easy to serach useful information. Sorry for the newbie question. Thanks, Xiaoshan /* * drivers/pci.c skips every host bridge but the 405GP since it could * be set as an Adapter. * * I (Andrew May) don't know what we should do here, but I don't want * the auto setup of a PCI device disabling what is done pci_405gp_init * as has happened before. */ void pci_405gp_setup_bridge(struct pci_controller *hose, pci_dev_t dev, struct pci_config_table *entry) { #ifdef DEBUG printf("405gp_setup_bridge\n"); #endif } In drivers/pci.c: int pci_hose_scan_bus(struct pci_controller *hose, int bus) { #ifndef CONFIG_405GP /* don't skip host bridge on ppc405gp */ /* Skip our host bridge */ if ( dev == PCI_BDF(hose->first_busno,0,0) ) continue; #endif

[U-Boot-Users] Where does u-boot start when booting Linux?
by Allen Curtis 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

I was hoping that someone could give me a quick answer. When u-boot starts Linux, does is start from the beginning for does it jump in somewhere past decompress()? I have been looking at the Linux code and it doesn't appear that the bdinfo structure is being handled correctly for u-boot. There is an CONFIG_EMBEDDEDBOOT option but even this only passes the boot parameter in a few instances. Does u-boot fix this somehow? Another thing is embed_config() for the ADS8260 board, forces the baud-rate to 9600 but 2_4_devel is quite happy at 115200 as in u-boot. This is interesting since I am trying to fix a serial baud-rate problem. TIA!

[U-Boot-Users] SCC Ethernet with PHY BCM522
by Raghu 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

Hello All, I have a MPC852T based board. I have configured SCC4 ETHERNET register and I have a PHY ( Broadcom 5222 ) chip as a PHY support. I am able to do a SCC loopback, but the data is not going out from the PHY when I diable the loopback. How do I access the PHY from SCC "scc.c" driver ?? do I have to do this anyway ? The PHY is getting accessed from "MII" i.e I am able to do "mii read/write" The Dual BCM Phy registers are located at 0x10 and 0x11 offset. of PHY. Warm Regards Raghu. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product search http://shopping.yahoo.com

[U-Boot-Users] Enabling the data size parameter for memory commands like "md"?
by Pasi Huhtiniemi 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

Hello, I'm playing around with a day-old cvs snapshot of U-Boot, using it with "make at91rm9200dk_config". My problem is the same with 0.4.0. >From the source (and from the usage help) I understand that at least the memory commands like "md" should accept (optional) data size parameter (.b/.w/.l) as the first parameter. How do you enable this? In my environment they don't work: 1) argv[0] is the command itself (like "md"), not the data size parameter from where the source tries to read it and 2) if I give the data size parameter, the upper framework counts the amount of parameters to be illegal and therefore certain commands give me an error message (the short usage). I suppose there is a #define missing? What is it? I could not quickly find it grepping the source, googling the net / mailing list archives. Best Regards, Pasi Huhtiniemi

In the Makefile, I can see the rule for csb266 board, but why can't i build it? Anybody can help me? please, thank you very much!

[U-Boot-Users] Support for ALTERA FPGAs
by Steven Scholz 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

Hi there, the patch attached adds support for ALTERA FPGAs. For now only the ACEX1K using the so called "passive serial" Interface. The code and idea is heavily stolen from the xilinx stuff. And just like there the board specific code has to provide some functions for handling the FPGA signals CONF_DONE, DATA, DCLK, nCONFIG, nSTATUS. I thought I release it quite early to avoid redundant work done by others and hope this could be a usefull starting point for people using Altera FPGAs. * Patch by Steven Scholz, 10 Oct 2003 - Add support for Altera FPGA ACEX1K Cheers, -- Steven Scholz imc Measurement & Control imc Meßsysteme GmbH Voltastr. 5 Voltastr. 5 13355 Berlin 13355 Berlin Germany Deutschland fon: +49 30 467090-0 Tel: 030 / 467090-0 fax: +49 30 4631576 fax: 030 / 4631576

[U-Boot-Users] DiskOnChip problem on warm boot
by James Bates 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

Hi all, Have had my MPC8260ADS based system up and running for a while now but I have recently noticed a problem when I warm boot. When it comes to detecting the DOC chip I just get a series of 10 "Doc_WaitReady timeout" messages. This takes about a couple of minutes and then it carries on with the boot as normal. Any ideas of what is happening? This does not happen in a power on reset.
