[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

Hi, I tried this with some different CFs with FAT file-systems on them. There is a README in the patch itself that goes in documentation directory. Bye, -- Christian Pellegrin <chri(a)ascensit.com>, <c.pellegrin(a)eurotech.it>, <chri(a)infis.univ.ts.it>, <c.pellegrin(a)exadron.com>

Re: [U-Boot-Users] Support for Samsung 1Giga bit NAND device
by Laurent Mohin 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

Andy, U-boot 1.1.0 doesn't provide support for NAND flash with a page size of 2K-byte instead of 512 byte (and you're right, theses devices require special handling). Pantelis Antoniou submitted a patch on 2004-04-30 which seems to manage these new chips, but I don't think it has been added to the latest CVS tree. By the way, Samsung also offer 1 Giga bit devices with a 512 byte page size (K9K1G08UOM - Manufacturer ID : 0xEC, Chip ID: 0x79). Hope this helps, Laurent Andy Hawkins <a.hawkins(a)cabletime.com> Sent by: u-boot-users-admin(a)lists.sourceforge.net 14/06/04 13:40 To: u-boot-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net cc: Subject: [U-Boot-Users] Support for Samsung 1Giga bit NAND device Hi, Can anyone tell me if U-Boot has support for the Samsung 1 Giga Bit NAND devices (Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0xf1)? I understand these devices have an unusually large block size, that needs special handling. Is this correct? Thanks.

[U-Boot-Users] Make drivers/cfi_flash.c protect environment and redundant enviro nment
by Michael Bendzick 26 Feb '05

26 Feb '05

Included is a patch to the drivers/cfi_flash.c driver that will automatically enable environment and redundant environment protection protection upon booting. Previously, only the monitor (U-Boot) was protected by the driver. Change log snippet: * Patch by Michael Bendzick, 12 Jul 2004: - Make drivers/cfi_flash.c protect environment and redundant environment. -Michael Bendzick Systems and Software Engineering Logic Product Development michael.b(a)logicpd.com 612-436-5122 www.logicpd.com

[U-Boot-Users] Environment in flash rather than EEProm
by Andy Hawkins 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

Hi all I'm using a PPChameleonEVB, and am trying to move the u-boot environment into flash. I've modified the include/configs/PPChameleon.h file as follows: #define CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 1 #define CFG_ENV_ADDR 0xFFFFA000 #define CFG_ENV_OFFSET (CFG_ENV_ADDR - 0xFFFC0000) #define CFG_ENV_SIZE 0x2000 I've added some debugging into the section where it reads the environment, and I'm seeing the following: U-Boot 1.0.2-adh-2004/03/29 (Mar 30 2004 - 13:40:38) CPU: IBM PowerPC 405EP Rev. B at 133.333 MHz (PLB=133, OPB=66, EBC=33 MHz) IIC Boot EEPROM disabled PCI async ext clock used, internal PCI arbiter enabled 16 kB I-Cache 16 kB D-Cache Board: ### No HW ID - assuming PPChameleonEVB I2C: ready DRAM: 32 MB Top of RAM usable for U-Boot at: 02000000 Reserving 189k for U-Boot at: 01fd0000 Reserving 256k for malloc() at: 01f90000 Reserving 128 Bytes for Board Info at: 01f8ff80 Reserving 48 Bytes for Global Data at: 01f8ff50 Stack Pointer at: 01f8ff38 New Stack Pointer is: 01f8ff38 Now running in RAM - U-Boot at: 01fd0000 FLASH: 4 MB env_relocate[204] offset = 0x2010000 env_relocate[216] embedded ENV (before reloc) at fffd9474 env_relocate[218] embedded ENV (after reloc) at 01fe9474 U-Boot relocated to 01fd0000 NAND:Probing at 0xff000000 32 MB ### main_loop entered: bootdelay=5 ### main_loop: bootcmd="<UNDEFINED>" => As you can see, the address of the environment before relocation is 0xfffd9474. Shouldn't this be 0xFFFFA000? Is there anything else I need to do to force the location of the environment into the required place? It looks like the address of the environment is based on the location of the 'environment' variable in common/environment.c. Do I need to change the LD script to force this variable to a certain location? If so, can anyone help with what I need to do (I'm not familiar with LD scripts yet). Many thanks. Andy

[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] Option to enable XLB pipelining in MPC5200
by Mark Jonas 11 Oct '04

11 Oct '04

Hello, this patch adds the option CFG_XLB_PIPELINING to cpu/mpc5xxx/cpu_init.c to enable XLB pipelining. This improves FTP performance and is enabled in IceCube by default. Other MPC5200 boards should benefit from this as well. Regards Mark cpu/mpc5xxx/cpu_init.c | 5 +++++ cpu/mpc5xxx/pci_mpc5200.c | 5 ----- include/configs/IceCube.h | 2 ++ 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) * Patch by Mark Jonas, 31 August 2004: Added option CFG_XLB_PIPELINING to cpu/mpc5xxx/cpu_init.c to enable XLB pipelining.
