[U-Boot-Users] [RFC] nboot - load from partition
by Ladislav Michl 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Hi, currently nboot command is able to load kernel from given ofset of given nand chip. I hope others would find useful if it could load kernel from given partition, too. What about nboot.part - load from current partition (given by partition variable) nboot.part [part_name] Comments and suggestions welcome and appreciated. Especialy ideas for some nice command name :-) (It seems my nand erase patch from 24 Mar, Message-ID: <20060324012327.GA14685@orphique> is not needed - at least there was no feedback. Everyone writes so perfect code that once written binary is never to be erased again? ;-)) Best regards, ladis

[U-Boot-Users] u-boot link fails after removing -Os compilation option.
by Leonid 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Hi: I'm using u-boot v1.1.4. I wanted to remove any optimization to make debug simpler and the only optimization I have found was "-Os" option in the config.mk file; below is the change I've done: 112c112 < OPTFLAGS= -Os #-fomit-frame-pointer --- > OPTFLAGS= #-Os #-fomit-frame-pointer Unfortunately after that change link is always failing - certain inline functions (not all) somehow cannot be resolved: cpu/ppc4xx/libppc4xx.a(405gp_pci.o)(.text+0x8c): In function `pci_440_init': /home/leonid/pd/ppc/uboot/u-boot-1.1.4/cpu/ppc4xx/405gp_pci.c:467: undefined reference to `pci_set_region' cpu/ppc4xx/libppc4xx.a(405gp_pci.o)(.text+0xc8):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/uboo t/u-boot-1.1.4/cpu/ppc4xx/405gp_pci.c:473: undefined reference to `pci_set_region' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x64): In function `indirect_read_config_byte': /home/leonid/pd/ppc/uboot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:94: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x8c):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/ubo ot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:94: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0xac):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/ubo ot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:94: undefined reference to `in_8' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x144): In function `indirect_read_config_word': /home/leonid/pd/ppc/uboot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:95: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x16c):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/ub oot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:95: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x18c):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/ub oot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:95: undefined reference to `in_le16' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x21c): In function `indirect_read_config_dword': /home/leonid/pd/ppc/uboot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:96: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x244):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/ub oot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:96: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x250):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/ub oot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:96: undefined reference to `in_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x2e0): In function `indirect_write_config_byte': /home/leonid/pd/ppc/uboot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:102: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x308):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/ub oot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:102: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x330):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/ub oot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:102: undefined reference to `out_8' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x3b4): In function `indirect_write_config_word': /home/leonid/pd/ppc/uboot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:103: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x3dc):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/ub oot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:103: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x404):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/ub oot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:103: undefined reference to `out_le16' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x484): In function `indirect_write_config_dword': /home/leonid/pd/ppc/uboot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:104: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x4ac):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/ub oot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:104: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x4bc):/home/leonid/pd/ppc/ub oot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:104: undefined reference to `out_le32' drivers/libdrivers.a(pci_indirect.o)(.text+0x534): In function `pci_setup_indirect': /home/leonid/pd/ppc/uboot/u-boot-1.1.4/drivers/pci_indirect.c:109: undefined reference to `pci_set_ops' make: *** [u-boot] Error 1 What can be a problem?

[U-Boot-Users] Looking for Info on Marvell Libertas 88w8510 WLAN/88E606 switch chipset, AP32/52 SDK or reference design
by Jeff Strickrott 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

Hello U-boot forum: I am searching for some more concrete information on the Marvell Libertas 88w8510 wireless lan and 88E6060 switch. In particular something that describes the internal registers for memory mapping, interrupts, switch registers, etc. Better still would be the documentation and the SDK from the Marvell AP52/32 reference designs. I am writing because I have seen post in the past from groups with access to the Marvell's SDK. Marvell supplies a SDK for eCOS or uClinux. I have been trying to reverse engineer the Netgear WGR614v4 wireless access based upon the 88W8510 and its associated switch chip. This is almost identical in design to the AP52 reference design. I have however been hampered by the lack of documentation. Here is what I have been able to do on my own: 1. I have built a JTAG interface and can run C code on the ARM 946 processor and communicate via the serial interface (see 2 below). 2. I currently have source for the firmware boot loader code which was a port of U-boot done by Marvell around 2003. The code was available through ASUS GPL code for the WL530g but has been pulled. (now only listed on http://files.wl500g.info/asus/wl530g/gpl/) The memory model between the Netgear and ASUS product are different. 3. I have not been able to get the U-boot Ethernet code to work. This could be due to: a. Improper setup of the memory controller on the 88W8510, b. Improper setup of interrupt controller, c. Improper setup of the WLAN and switch. 4. I have disassembled the existing Netgear code and can load and run this from ram, but I have not had the time to understand how and what registers the commercial code is initializing for the Ethernet controller and how this is different from Marvell's port of the U-boot code. My suspicion is that the U-boot code does not know about the switch and I am not setting it up correctly so the Arp packets I send are never actually written to the physical layer. 5. Netgear supplies only limited header files and just object code for its GPL release (no source) so I am still missing details. Could anyone shed any more details? Thanks in advance for the help. Regards, --Jeff Strickrott

[U-Boot-Users] U-boot 1.1.3 support Bzip2 compression?

Hi all, My platform is OMAP5912osk. The setps I create the bzip2 kernel image are : ************************************************************ arm-linux-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux linux.bin bzip2 linux.bin mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C bzip2 -a 0x10c08000 -e 0x10c08000 -n "2.6.15 " -d linux.bin.bz2 uImage ************************************************************ Then I put kernel image at 0x10000000. According to the README of u-boot 1.1.3 : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Compression support: CONFIG_BZIP2 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip compressed images are supported. NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so the malloc area (as defined by CFG_MALLOC_LEN) should be at least 4MB. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In /u-boot-1.1.3/include/configs/omap5912osk.h, if I use the original config : #define CFG_MALLOC_LEN (CFG_ENV_SIZE + 128*1024) #define CONFIG_BZIP2 1 The result when u-boot decompress the image is : ************************************************************ ## Booting image at 10000000 ...

[U-Boot-Users] ARM - Uboot compilation
by Carlos Coelho 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hi Wolfgang, I did the toolchain and the compilation error remains the same, I followed the steps that is listed on the site: http://frank.harvard.edu/~coldwell/toolchain/ , it was very straightforward. After that I did the uboot compilation, [root@carlos u-boot-1.1.4]# make at91rm9200dk_config [root@carlos u-boot-1.1.4]# make u-boot And I got the same error message: -Map u-boot.map -o u-boot arm-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: ERROR: /usr/arm/lib/gcc/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libgcc.a(_divsi3.oS) uses hardware FP, whereas u-boot uses software FP arm-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: failed to merge target specific data of file /usr/arm/lib/gcc/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libgcc.a(_divsi3.oS) arm-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: ERROR: /usr/arm/lib/gcc/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libgcc.a(_modsi3.oS) uses hardware FP, whereas u-boot uses software FP arm-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: failed to merge target specific data of file /usr/arm/lib/gcc/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libgcc.a(_modsi3.oS) make: *** [u-boot] Error 1 [root@carlos u-boot-1.1.4]# Would you point where can I find the information that I need to compile the uboot.
