Googling for this gives you for example this very helpful link: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/Preprocessor-Options.html#Pr eprocessor-Options Hint on googling: When looking for keywords that start with a dash put them in quotes or else Google will only return pages that do *not* contain these keywords. Additionally, limiting Google to a specific site helps as well. So your Google search could have been gcc "-mq" site:gcc.gnu.org So most likely your GCC tool chain is broken or too old. I am not an ARM expert but the ELDK 4.0 from Denx (http://www.denx.de/en/News/PressReleaseELDK40) is most likely a good choice.

[U-Boot-Users] init of gd->cpu_clk
by Jens Scharsig 13 Nov '06

Hello, I want to use gd->cpu_clk, but the value is 0. I search for the init code and found the function get_clocks. But in my arch (m68k) get_clocks was never called. My Question: Where should I initialize gd->cpu_clk or call get_clocks? Thanks

[U-Boot-Users] TEXT_BASE problem
by Foldesi Tamas 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

Hi everybody, I'm new here, greetings to everybody. I built a board for AT91RM9200 based on the DK; the main difference is, that I have no paralell flash, only serial. I had my fights with this, mainly because of some data aborts tring to cp to the flash, but now that is over. Sincs I have 64M ram on the board I'd like to move u-boot to 0x23f00000 from 0x21f00000. I did that I think, because I altered the code of the dataflashloader, and I set the TEXT_BASE in board/at91rm9200dk/config.mk. Still, I receive Data abort while running MTEST, because of some spourius data around (0x21eddb..). Before moving u-boot, I had the same problem - I had to change the mtest range, so it doesn't destroy anything around there. Help me, how could anything be under 0x21f00000, when TEXT_BASE is set? I used MD to display data there, and I got some frangments of the bootup text referring to my flash information like "Area 0: ...". What is wrong? Thanks Thomas Foldesi

[U-Boot-Users] bd_info vs. global_data
by Timur Tabi 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

In looking at OF_TBCLK-related code, I noticed that U-Boot has what is basically two structures that contain a variety of "global" data, global_data and bd_info. There are a number of fields in bd_info that also exist in global_data and contain the same value. For instance, we have this in board_init_f(): bd->bi_inpfreq = gd->inp_clk; bd->bi_pcifreq = gd->pci_clk; bd->bi_vcofreq = gd->vco_clk; bd->bi_pevfreq = gd->pev_clk; bd->bi_flbfreq = gd->flb_clk; From my understanding, the bd_info structure is passed to the kernel as a binary blob, whereas the the global_data structure is used internally by U-Boot to store global data. Obviously, we can't get rid of one or the other. Wouldn't it be better if the bd_info structure were created and initialized only when Linux is about to be booted? Currently, we have some code that uses bd->xxx and other code that uses gd->xxx, with no real consistence. I think the bd_info structure should be local to cmd_bootm.c, and should be allocated and initialized only if we're booting a non-OF version of Linux. This would eliminate using bd-> for anything other than booting non-OF Linux. Comments? -- Timur Tabi Linux Kernel Developer @ Freescale

[U-Boot-Users] using a '-' in U_BOOT_CMD
by Charles Krinke 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

I have a couple of commands that have dashes in the middle, such as "set-feature" and the U_BOOT_CMD macro perceives these as parse errors. I can compile by changing the "-" to an "_", but I wonder if there is a way to tell the U_BOOT_CMD macro when it expands ##name and #name that I wish it to perceive the command literally and include the dash.

[U-Boot-Users] Reg. porting to pT-110 (ARM7TDMI??)
by Joe Steeve 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

Hello., I'm trying to port the u-boot to a SigmaDesigns board. The board has a pT-110 based core. I know it is an ARM core., but not sure which version of the ARM. Google did not help much as the PicoTurbo (the original makers of pT-110) is out of business. If anyone has worked on a related core., can you please confirm whether this is an ARM7TDMI compatible core? And., any known issues on porting the u-boot to that processor? Thanks -- Joe Steeve Sliceware Private Limited

[U-Boot-Users] 85xx SPD LAW setup issue?

[U-Boot-Users] Flash not erasing correctly?
by Warren Seymour 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

I'm using a Toradex Colibri XScale CPU and eval. kit, but I'm having problems storing the kernel image into flash. I've successfully loaded the kernel image via TFTP into RAM at 0xA1000000 - now I wish to store it in flash. The first two sectors (0x0 and 0x4000) are being used by U-boot, and are protected. I want to place my kernel image into the next available sector, sector 3 (0x8000) I've run 'erase all' which skips the first two protected sectors, I then see 'Erasing sector x... done' down to sector 127. However, when I run 'cp.b a1000000 8000 $filesize' I get 'Copy to Flash... not erased at 000800fc (ffff000e)' Can anybody shed some light as to why my flash isn't being erased as it says it is? Regards, Warren.
