[U-Boot-Users] fb support for au1x000
by Rodolfo Giometti 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

Hello, I'm trying to add support for frame buffer to my au1100 based board but I'm a bit confused where I can allocate the frame buffer memory. Looking at "lib_mips/board.c" I see: /* * Now that we have DRAM mapped and working, we can * relocate the code and continue running from DRAM. */ addr = CFG_SDRAM_BASE + gd->ram_size; /* We can reserve some RAM "on top" here. */ /* round down to next 4 kB limit. */ addr &= ~(4096 - 1); debug ("Top of RAM usable for U-Boot at: %08lx\n", addr); /* Reserve memory for U-Boot code, data & bss * round down to next 16 kB limit */ addr -= len; addr &= ~(16 * 1024 - 1); debug ("Reserving %ldk for U-Boot at: %08lx\n", len >> 10, addr); Where "len" is: len = (ulong)&uboot_end - CFG_MONITOR_BASE; So I think I can redefine "len" as follow: len = (ulong)&uboot_end - CFG_MONITOR_BASE + LCD_MEMORY_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE; and then adding the code: /* configure available FLASH banks */ size = flash_init(); display_flash_config (size); #ifdef CONFIG_LCD # ifndef PAGE_SIZE # define PAGE_SIZE 4096 # endif /* * reserve memory for LCD display (always full pages) */ /* bss_end is defined in the board-specific linker script */ addr = (uboot_end + (PAGE_SIZE - 1)) & ~(PAGE_SIZE - 1); size = lcd_setmem (addr); gd->fb_base = addr; #endif /* CONFIG_LCD */ bd = gd->bd; bd->bi_flashstart = CFG_FLASH_BASE; bd->bi_flashsize = size; to the function board_init_r(). Is that sane?

[U-Boot-Users] U-boot support arm926ejs
by jack zhao 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

Hi, Now I am debugging the board which use Marvell 5182 core, which core is arm9, but I can not seem any information from Serial port. I have traced the code with GPIO LED port, from that I can seem there are something wrong in DDR RAM, maybe hardware. Since the arm core use memory to init all the decide: init_fnc_t *init_sequence[] = { cpu_init, /* basic cpu dependent setup */ board_init, /* basic board dependent setup */ interrupt_init, /* set up exceptions */ env_init, /* initialize environment */ init_baudrate, /* initialze baudrate settings */ serial_init, /* serial communications setup */ console_init_f, /* stage 1 init of console */ display_banner, /* say that we are here */ dram_init, /* configure available RAM banks */ #ifndef CONFIG_MARVELL display_dram_config, #endif #if defined(CONFIG_VCMA9) checkboard, #endif NULL, }; in function start_armboot But in powerpc the code use DCache to run the init part, so that even if the ram does not work normally, we can see information from serial port, could it run in arm core 5182 system. If yes, how to change that. Could wolf or some other expert answer my questions? Thanks much! Best Wishes Jack Zhao USI SH R&D Center 86-021-58966996-1122

hi all, I downloaded ELDK 4.0 for ppc recently.I cannot find ppc_82xx sub-directory at eldk 4.0 package,and ELDK 3.1 have ppc_82xx sub-directory. Could I use ppc_8xx instead of ppc_82xx under ELDK 4.0 environment to build my u-boot for mpc8270 board.I appreciate your help,thanks in advance, Sincerely, Jie --------------------------------- Talk is cheap.

How exactly did you write the linux image to 0xff010000 ? And which sort of memory is mapped at this address on your system?
