[U-Boot-Users] mx21ads patch
by Livio Tenze 21 Sep '05

21 Sep '05

Hi all!! I am trying to use the mx21ads patch for the u-boot-1.1.3 but I have some problems in configuring the ethernet adapter cs8900: when I properly set the related definitions /* * CS8900 Ethernet drivers */ #define CONFIG_DRIVER_CS8900 1 /* we don't have a CS8900 on-board */ #define CS8900_BASE 0x15000300 #define CS8900_BUS16 1 /* the Linux driver does accesses as shorts */ an error occurs at the compile-time (unreferenced cs8900_get_enetaddr or something similar). How can I correctly set the ethernet adapter? May you help me? Thanks in advance! Livio

Hi, We had downloaded the uBoot 1.1.3 version on Linux kernel 2.6.11 running on Intel Pentium machine. While we were trying to compile the uBoot module with the target board as AMD, we are getting an error message stating that "ssi.h: No such file or directory" and the compilation fails. Can someone please let us know any possible solutions for overcoming this problem? Thanks Govind

[U-Boot-Users] Installing U-Boot on target via USB/serial using U-Boot commands
by Goswami Jigisha-ejg014 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

Hello, I want to find out if U-Boot can be installed on my new target (with no bootloader previously installed) via serial or USB interface using U-Boot commands? I read the U-Boot manual that- if no bootloader is previously installed on the target, a BDM or JTAG interface and can be used. However I want to find out if only U-Boot can be used to install itself over serial or USB interface. Can anyone help here? (I have disabled HTML but if it still appears, I apologize for that) Thanks in advance. Jigisha Goswami

[U-Boot-Users] Help about "Bad Magic Number" (XIP kernel is not booting)
by ravi.aloor＠wipro.com 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

Hello, I am working on ARMVersatile 926EJS application board. I am using NOR Flash with boot monitor. I am trying to boot kernel from the flash, as it is an XIP kernel. I have 3 doubts as explained below. Switch Settings: S1-1 to S1-8 Off S4-1 On and S4-2 to S4-4 Off After kernel configuration, .config file contains the following two CONFIG_ entries: CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL=y CONFIG_XIP_PHYS_ADDR=0x34060000 Doubt #1 -------- "The DENX U-Boot and Linux Guide (DULG) for TQM8xxL" document suggests to use CONFIG_XIP_VIRT_ADDR. But I didn't use CONFIG_XIP_VIRT_ADDR. Because I was asked to work with above two CONFIG_ entries only. CONFIG_XIP_VIRT_ADDR is really necessary? The areas and images available are as shown below on NOR flash: Flash> list areas Base Area Size Blocks Block Size ---- --------- ------ ---------- 0x34000000 64M 512 128K Flash> list images Flash Area Base 0x34000000 Address Name ------- ---- 0x34000000 boot_monitor.axf 0x34040000 u-boot 0x34060000 linux 0x341E0000 selftest.axf 0x34260000 cramfs 0x349E0000 symbian 0x356E0000 mmc2flash.axf Flash> Used mkimage utility and created kernel image as XiPImage.pcd.

[U-Boot-Users] Issue regarding entry point address
by Swapnil Ashok Narkhede 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Excerpts from previous posts Query > Using the uImage in RAM, when > i try to execute it using bootm from > the RAM. i get the following output > > o/p>>> > SWAP$ bootm 0xa0800000 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > ## Booting image at a0800000 ... > Image Name: Linux Kernel Image > Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) > Data Size: 771905 Bytes = 753.8 kB > Load Address: a0800000 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Reply >>Download address and load address must differt at by least the size >> of the uncompressed kernel size. The difference between the compressed and uncompressed image is 40 bytes. So i tried to load the image at 0xa0800000 and tried to give entry point address as 0xa0800040 but then i get BAD MAGIC ERROR. Which means there is not proper image at that address (or rather, that is not the proper start of the image file). So how do i look up for the proper load address and entry point address. As per the CFG_LOAD_ADDR parameter in /include/configs/pxa255idp.h load address should be 0xa0800000 but how do i figure out,what is my entry point address. Please help me resolve this error.

[U-Boot-Users] setenv handeling on OSK
by Carl Blair 17 Sep '05

17 Sep '05

Hi I am having similar problems with the osk to Jean-Marc 2005-09-14 01:38. I also used an = in setenv ie. setenv ipaddr=192.168.1.21. then I tried using tftpboot ie. tftpboot 0x10000000 u-boot.bin with u-boot.bin in the /tftpboot dir on the host.I get the error, ERROR 'ipaddr' not set I saw something about not using the = sign so I set the env variables again. All changed accordingly except ipaddr, which now has two entries. Still tftpboot does not work. I am going to use the flash recovery utility, but was wondering 1.) is this normal operation or is this just the factory installed u-boot operation? 2.) is there any way of removing environment variables? OMAP5912 OSK # printenv baudrate=115200 bootcmd=bootm 0x100000 bootfile=uImage bootdelay=10 ethaddr=00-0E-99-02-06-46 ipaddr=192.168.1.21 severip=0 ipaddr=192.168.1.11 stdin=serial stdout=serial stderr=serial netmask=255.255.254.0 serverip=192.168.1.6 bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=off root=/dev/mtdblock4 mem=30 Any advice would be much appreciated :) _________________________________________________________________ Sell your car for $9 on carpoint.com.au http://www.carpoint.com.au/sellyourcar
