[U-Boot-Users] mpc8260 serial console works under uboot, but not under linux
by jfaslist 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hi, We have ported u-boot on a mpc8260 based design of ours. We try to boot linux on it (built with TQM8260_defconfig), as a first step. But when we use the u-boot "bootm" command to boot linux from flash, we get nothing displayed after the kernel is uncompressed and jumped into. I know there is a FAQ: http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/LinuxHangsAfterUncompressingKernel But I don't think it applies as using the BDI2000 we can trace the kernel running all the way until around the point where it starts the init process. We were surprised to see that a "make uImage" would use the vmlinux.gz kernel (linked at 0xc000.0000) and not the zImage.elf(linked at 0x0040.0000), which includes the files in arch/ppc/boot/simple. The serial console is initialized and handled in ./arch/ppc/boot/simple/m8260_tty.c, and we suspect that since this is not included in vmlinux, that is the reason why we don't see any messages. Should we try to somehow add it to vmlinux (if this is possible)? I know this is not the list, but why is the linux make file is generating these two different files? My guess is that zImage is for systems with no u-boot bootloader.

[U-Boot-Users] MPC8xx-board: just 10MBit transfer rate
by Josef Angermeier 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Dear u-boot users, i got u-boot 1.1.3 and linux 2.4.25 running on my custom MPC875-board. But the ethernet-connection (FEC-Controller) seems to be abit slow. The MII-transceiver chip autonegotiates a speed of 100MBit but when downloading files via tftp/ftp in u-boot or linux the transfer seems to happen in 10MBit mode. Could this be caused by the low system clock (40MHz) ? What else ? Best regards, Josef

[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] U-Boot current CVS: Lite5200 fancy configuration
by Stephan Linz 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hello, CHANGELOG: * Lite5200 / IceCube configuration: - enable some of latest U-Boot features: HU Shell, NetConsole, MTD partition handling, EXT2 fs support, loopw, redundant environment - prepare a default MTD partition structure - extend MONITOR_LEN from 192kB to 384kB, accordingly move the two environment sectors NOTE: The patch comes in two different types (the two patches below). The so named "extended_way" patch simply extends the configuration in include/configs/IceCube.h -- the so named "fancy_way" patch enclose all the board configuration in the special configuration define CONFIG_ICECUBE_FANCY. Only the two configuration targets "Lite5200_fancy_config" and "icecube_5200_fancy_config" will build code with the new and fancy configuration options. So the old default configuration will be retained. The new MTD partition handling for Lite5200 / IceCube assume a Linux Kernel patch to work together with a two flash bank infrastructure. The related patch is pending. Best regards, Stephan Linz -------------------------------------------------------- while (!asleep()) ++sheep;
