Maybe the baudrate of terminal setting and the baudrate of the serial on your board is not equal. Just changing them to the same rate will be ok. >From: "Nick Droogh" <ndroogh(a)criticaltelecom.com> >To: <u-boot-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net.> >Subject: [U-Boot-Users] IBM - bubinga PPC405EP board - serial comms problem >Date: Wed, 26 May 2004 12:13:07 -0400 > >Hi All, > >I rebuilt uboot for the Bubinga board and it seems to work but I get garbage on the serial terminal window.

[U-Boot-Users] ...another question from the 8240 Newbie
by workndude 27 May '04

27 May '04

the newbie humbly approaches (in ASCII): � So following "very little inspection of the code", a copy was made of the CU824 files from the CVS source. � The 16550 base, register spacing and clock was specified and U-Boot starts to come up! ...but it stops at the flash: U-Boot 1.1.2 (May 26 2004 - 13:40:56) CPU:�� MPC8240 Revision 1.1 at 247.500 MHz: 16 kB I-Cache 16 kB D-Cache Board: CU824 Revision 255 Local Bus at 99 MHz DRAM:� 64 MB FLASH: *** failed *** ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ### � The numerous available flash.c files specify very interesting configurations. ...but all I have a single 512k x 8 AMD 29f040 at 0xFFF00000. � I would be most grateful for further direction. Searching the archives has only led me to compile with several different flash.c files... � Regards, __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

[U-Boot-Users] Rephrased Initrd and RAM
by Petre Pircalabu 26 May '04

26 May '04

I will try to rephrase my last question (sorry for my pour communications skills) In order for the Linux kernel to use the initrd, where it should be located, in RAM or in FLASH? The parameter given by u-boot to the kernel (e.g setenv bootargs initrd=0x120000,4M) is the address where initrd.img (the one compressed and mkimaged) is stored or u-boot is responsible for [decompressing the image and] copying it to RAM? One other question :about the variable initrd_copy_to_ram , is it set only when initrd_high is defined in the bootargs? why? Thank you, Petre Pircalabu

Hello, How can I check if initrd is decompressed and copied in RAM and u-boot sends the right ATAG_INITRD2 values to the kernel? thanks, Petre

All, Travis has the explanation: the problem happened when an HTML message was posted to the list, and I (naively! foolishly!) replied to it. Although my mailer *is* configured for plain text (including this message), by my replying to a message with HTML content, Outlook overrode my stated preference and chose to format the response as HTML. (HTML e-mail is contagiuous unless we take prophylactic measures!) Nonetheless I am to be faulted for not having re-set the flag back to plain text. Just a caveat to all the other Outlook users out there. Wolfgang has done great services to the embedded, Linux and U-Boot communities, and if HTML e-mail raises his blood pressure to the point where he has a heart attack, stroke, aneurysm or other fatal calamity, the world would be an emptier place. :) -----Original Message----- From: Travis Sawyer [mailto:tsawyer+u-boot@sandburst.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2004 1:02 PM To: Kerl, John Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] debugging relocated code John: The problem is that the 1st message was HTML... outlook keeps the format. If replying to an html message, and you want plain text you have to set it per email. General settings are overridden by the format of the original email.

Wolfgang, you live in an imperfect world. I understand you are apoplectic. But please understand the rest of us are merely human. I have configured my mailer to send plain-text message in every way I know how. If I knew any other flag to set in my mailer, I would set it. My employer gives me no choice re which mail tool I use. If anyone out there has any advice re whether M$ Outlook has a hidden, second, really-send-plain-text flag (other than Format -> Plain text which I have already set), I'd love to hear about it.

No such setting in my version (2K) but thanks for the tip! -----Original Message----- From: Rune Torgersen [mailto:runet@innovsys.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2004 1:24 PM To: Kerl, John Cc: u-boot-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] debugging relocated code If anyone out there has any advice re whether M$ Outlook has > a hidden, second, really-send-plain-text flag (other than > Format -> Plain text which I have already set), I'd love to > hear about it. Yep.... Check under Options - Mail Format(same place that has the format as plain text) Check the settings under Internet Formats, and set it to convert Rich Text replies to Plain Text. That does it for me at least...
