Hi I have the IBM ebony reference board for the PPC440GP processor. I am using u-boot as the boot loader for linux. Upon reset, u-boot gives the following message (along with the other messages): I2c read: failed 4 What does this mean and how does it affect the booting process. Thanks Anupam This message (including any attachments) may contain confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose. If you are not the intended recipient, delete this message.

OK I am quite new to embedded systems, so please forgive me if I seem to miss the obvious. The reason that I went for the penguinppc kernel is that they had already done a lot of work towards supporting the MPC8266 board, including the PCI support, and as I don't really have the background to write my own drivers (someday, maybe ) I thought that this would be my best option - so far this hasn't been the case, unfortunately. I had suspected that I didn't need `clocks_in_mhz' as the kernel version that penguinppc provides is very new ( 2.4.21 ). The relationship of some of the addresses escapes me, I must admit - I thought that the load address and entry point of the kernel would be mapped to the loading point specified in u-boot by default ( 0x100000 ). Any input that you have would be most welcome, and in the interim I will try configuring a kernel directly from kernel.org rather than rely on the penguinppc one. That seems to be my most immediate problem, judging from the successes that others have enjoyed using u-boot. Thanks, Currie ORIGINAL MESSAGE - Hi, I use Linux on older MPC8260ADS and the newest PQ2FADS (which is next generation of MPC8266ADS). I use modified Debian with home-made drivers and not penguinppc kernel. It looks like in you kernel there is either serial console (SCC) initialisation problem or memory mapping problem. These things are board specific and you don't write what your configuration is. `bdinfo' output and your memory mappings would be helpful (for example, check that internal RAM is mapped correctly, penguinppc startup code uses hard-coded address 0xF0000000 instead of checking bdinfo.) In new kernels you usually don't need to set `clocks_in_mhz', but again it depends on your time handling functions. -- ======================================================================== Yuli Barcohen | Phone +972-9-765-1788 | Software Project Leader yuli(a)arabellasw.com | Fax +972-9-765-7494 | Arabella Software, Israel ========================================================================

[U-Boot-Users] How can I save zImage & fsimage.tar into Flash memory then boot
by Jacob Chan 01 Jul '03

Dear all, I am using the Intel DBPXA255 Lubbock board. After I download the u-boot.bin via JTAG that using BDI2000. It can boot but the Ethernet device(SMSC LAN91C96) is not work. So I using serial download(Kermit mode) zImage to the address 0xa0200000. loadb 0xa0200000 <-- using HyperTerminal Kermit mode to download After that I can using go 0xa0200000 to boot linux kernel, but how can I save it to Flash? I try cp 0xa0200000 0x00080000 0x000a0578 After that I reboot the target board and how can I boot the linux kernel? I use bootm 0x00080000, but it's not work. Finally, I wan to save u-boot.bin, zImage and filesystem.tar into Flash then boot. What should I need to do? Your reply and support will be highly appreciated. Thank you for your time and attention Jacob Chan Jacob_chan(a)so-net.net.tw
