[U-Boot-Users] Flash boot issues with MPC8272ADS and PQ2FADS
by Milligan, Keath 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

We are using several PQ2FADS-VR and MPC8272ADS boards for a Linux project and are experiencing a high occurrence of boards that get into a state where they will not boot or behave erratically during boot. The symptoms are usually that board continually resets in u-boot. See below for output examples. In other cases, the system will get to the point of attempting to load a kernel, but will claim the checksum is bad, or will start booting the kernel and crash shortly thereafter. When folks bring me systems in this state, my "fix" has been to replace the 8MB flash SIMM. This usually gets them going again, but I honestly don't think the SIMM is the real problem. I have one PQ2FADS board that I have put four different SIMMs in and can not get it to boot. In most other cases, I can take the "bad" SIMM, put it in another board, reprogram it and it will work again (for a while). In all of these cases, we are using known good u-boots (built from unmodified 1.1.2 source for either the PQ2FADS or MPC8272ADS) and known good, tested kernels. Typically, users will have been working for weeks without a problem until they run into this. Here is the method I am using the program the flash using the BDI2000: 8275>unlock 0xff800000 0x40000 32 8275>erase 0xff800000 0x40000 32 Erasing flash at 0xff800000 Erasing flash at ...

Programming flash passed 8275>verify 0xfff00000 u-boot.bin.pq2fads bin Verifying u-boot.bin.pq2fads , please wait .... Verifying target memory passed Is this incorrect? Any insight or shared experience on this is greatly appreciated.

[U-Boot-Users] 85xx - DDR with ECC: Why DMA ?
by Charles J Gillan 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

I have a question about the procedure ddr_enable_ecc() included in the U-Boot build only if CONFIG_DDR_ECC is defined CONFIG_ECC_INIT_VIA_DDRCONTROLLER is not defined The routine is found in file ./cpu/mpc85xx/spd_sdram.c so is for the 8540 and 8560 products. Most of the work in the routine seems to concern programming the DMA registers rather than setting the DDR "enable" flag. Why is this DMA configuration an essential step when ECC is used and apparently not necessary when it is not used? I cant see the link between the two. Thanks, Charles. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Charles J Gillan The Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology (ECIT), Queen's University Belfast, Titanic Quarter Queens Road, Queens Island, Belfast, BT3 9DT Northern Ireland, UK Tel: +44 (0) 2890 971847 Fax: +44 (0) 2890 971702 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all, I'm having difficulties booting my kernel. I've checked the followings: 1. CONFIG_CMDLINE_TAG, CONFIG_SETUP_MEMORY_TAGS and CONFIG_INITRD_TAG all enabled.

I am not a chemist or physicist but I think else the two different materials after a while build up some strange alloy / oxide that ruins the contact. What's the plating of your board connector and what's the plating of the SIMM contact area? Regards Mark

Hi, I need to enable the DMA in the s3c2410 cpu for some POST tests on a custom board. I downloaded the latest u-boot from head on CVS and failed to see any DMA code for the S3C2410. Before I start cranking a DMA driver for this device, does anyone know if there is a u-boot driver available for DMA? Many thanks, -- Tehn Yit Chin Software Engineer, Grey Innovation Pty. Ltd.

[U-Boot-Users] single step flash w/ gdb ocdremote ??
by Chuck T. 08 Aug '05

08 Aug '05

I'm trying to bring up u-boot/arm Linux on a new board from scratch using a Wiggler and ocdremote. I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to single step code in flash. I can't debug from RAM because u-boot is working when loaded into RAM, the problem I'm trying to debug only occurs when u-boot is running from flash. Since ocdremote is only supported on Windoze I've installed cygwin and the xscale gnu tools from the macraigor site on an XP system and the Windoze/cygwin based Insight debugger is happy to single step code in flash. HOWEVER all of my development is on a Linux platform I'd much rather use DDD on Linux. Remote DDD works fine except for one fatal flaw ... I can't single step flash. It single steps code loaded into RAM. Since both insight and DDD are really just shells talking to gdb talking to ocdremote (gdbserver workalike) it seems clear that my problem is I haven't configured gdb to use hardware breakpoints while single stepping, but I've searched and searched and googled and googled and can't find anything other than hbreak. What am I missing?

[U-Boot-Users] [patch]fixes for cmd_fpga.c
by Andrew Dyer 08 Aug '05

08 Aug '05

The attached patch: 1) fixes a bug with the 'fpga loadb' command The bug is in calculating the config data size - 4 bytes of length info were being read as signed chars, casted to long, shifted and added. The cast to long was doing sign extension and causing an incorrect result if a byte was greater than 0x80. For me this caused the fpga load to end early and time out waiting for the hardware completion. 2) removes compilation warnings about using __FUNCTION__ concatenated with strings 3) changes the fpga loadb to always print the file header info during a load. I realize this patch is a mishmash - hopefully it's helpful to someone. -- Hardware, n.: The parts of a computer system that can be kicked.

I needed a config option for the compact flash being interfaced on a cardbus in a legacy 16-bit mode. Have grep'ed the U-Boot sources and couldn't find anything that would work. I'll need to document that option. > > Technical reasons: > > I think your changes to drivers/ti_pci1410a.c might have impact on > (read: will break) existing board support that uses this > driver.

I'll try to contact the previous authors and consult with them a possible resolution that wouldn't break any existing configurations. My PCI1410/1510 related changes are based on the recommendations I've received from the TI FAE. The compact flash related changes are based on the data provided by SanDisk and SimpleTech FAEs. I certainly appreciate your feedback. Regards, Adam Zajac

[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] BUGFIX: serial setting for kgdb
by HoJin 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

Hi, KGDB_SMC_INDEX must be used as the index for brg_map, but it is used direclty. (compared with function serial_init) So it does not work properly. I have tested it and it works fine. I noticed the same problem with 'serial_scc.c', but I could not test it yet. Patch for only for 'serial_smc.c' is attached.
