[U-Boot-Users] New NAND code
by Stefan Roese 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hi! I was just wondering about state of the NAND code. When I remember correctly a pretty big rewrite was done but not commited yet. Is the last patch sent to this list from Pantelis Antoniou on 5th May still the latest version? Best regards, Stefan

[U-Boot-Users] Suspect behaiviour if gatewayip not set
by Robin Gilks 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Greetings Having played with netconsole a bit, I've observed that the current behaiviour of warning if gatewayip is not set and then using its value of zero when talking to outside the current subnet is somewhat suspect. The particular case of netconsole means that no error message is evident - it is trying to be sent the error down the ethernet connection that is being initiated with an arp(0.0.0.0)! I propose that the warning message stay but the target address is put into the arp so that a proxying router can reply to it rather then send out a nonsense arp request.

[U-Boot-Users] dbau1550 patch
by Andrew Dyer 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

A while back (Sep 23, 2004) someone named Leif posted a note about a patch to add support for the AMD DbAU1550 board to u-boot here https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5624545&forum_id=12… I can't seem to find the patch he referred to and I would like to get a hold of it. -- Hardware, n.: The parts of a computer system that can be kicked.

[U-Boot-Users] common/cmd_mii.c bug and patch
by Andrew Dyer 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

The mii info command (the !CONFIG_TERSE_MII version) has a bug in current cvs. If the phy address is passed to the command the code assigns the variable addr to start, instead of the values of addrlo which is extracted from the command line. At that point in the code addr is always 0. to demonstrate find a board with a phy at a non-zero address, compare the results of 'mii info' and mii info 1' (substitute the phy address on the test board for 1). Also in this file on lines 55 and 418 there are two places where a call to mii_init() is conditionally compiled in, but one condition includes defined(CONFIG_MCF52x2) and the other doesn't. Is this intentional? -- Hardware, n.: The parts of a computer system that can be kicked.

[U-Boot-Users] Patches for ARM IntegratorCP, ARM926EJS, and ARM946ES
by Shawn Jin 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

Hi, The patches were developed on an ARM IntegratorCP board with ARM946ES. Since the majority code of ARM946ES cpu was copied from ARM926EJS and there was bug about CFG_HZ found in ARM946ES later, I also fixed this CFG_HZ error on ARM926EJS. The major changes are 1. Mulitple core modules support (u-boot.multicm.patch) Following OMAP boards' methodology, I added mulitple core module configuration. For example, integratorcp_946es_config is for IntegratorCP board with ARM946ES, integratorcp_config is for IntegratorCP board with ARM926EJS by default, integratorap_946es_config is for IntegratorAP board with ARM946ES, and integratorap_config is for IntegratorAP with ARM926EJS. Now only two core modules are supported, ARM946ES and ARM926EJS. 2. ARM946ES support (u-boot.arm946es.patch) 3. ARM926EJS bug fix (u-boot.arm926ejs.patch) Fixed CFG_HZ problem. Set CFG_HZ to 1000. The solution is from AT91RM9200. 4. IntegratorCP bug fixes (u-boot.integratorcp.patch) Added SDRAM size information and FLASH support. Philippe, I don't have an ARM926EJS core module. Would you please test the CFG_HZ fix on your system? Thanks. Regards, -Shawn.
