The patch would, in fact, break support for many such flashes (29F016D, for example). Only in a special case of 16-bit flash configured to work in 8-bit mode (29DL640D in 8-bot mode, for example), such a change in command address can be needed but IMHO this should be handled in run-time according to CFI info. -- ======================================================================== 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] Xilinx EDK error message on libgen
by andrew.l.bomber＠maxtek.com 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Hello, I am trying to compile u-boot for the first time. My target board is a custom device with only a UARTLite, SPI Flash, and SDRAM with PPC on a Xilinx FPGA. I continually get the same error when I try to generate libraries. I am trying to generate the libraries through the EDK IDE. Is anyone on this board familiar with porting u-boot to a Xilinx device in EDK? If so could you help? The stand alone OS works just fine on this project before I changed the OS_NAME in the mss. The command that EDK 6.3i issues to generate libraries: libgen -mhs system.mhs -p xc2vp4fg256-6 system_u-boot.mss The error message: WARNING: The parameter USE_DCR for the intc driver has been deprecated. Any reference to this parameter in the MSS file will be ignored. define_config_file: XNullHandler ERROR:MDT - Error while running "generate" for processor ppc405_0... make: *** [ppc405_0/lib/libxil.a] Error 2 Done. Thanks, Andrew

[U-Boot-Users] exception setting for TQ860L
by Oravec Ivan 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Hello, is there some special setting necessary to see any possible exception. What is the default state for CCM board. Can Linux overwrite setting done by u-boot. There is running application on Linux and at higher temp there is a SW watchdog generated. Now I would like to see the root cause if possible. If I change SYPCR:SWRI, card is frozen. If SWRI is active HRESET is triggered and card restarts. thank you best regrads ivan
