Greetings!
System details: Board: Versatile-ARM926Ej-S Cross-toolchain: 3.4.3 Linux kernel: 2.6.12 u-boot: 1.1.2
I have been able to successfully cross-compile u-boot, program it to NOR flash, and run it from the SDRAM.
I have also cross-compiled the kernel to create the vmlinux file. I have used the config file provided in arm.com site for this board:
http://www.arm.com/linux/linux_download.html
I then created uImage using:
# arm-linux-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S vmlinux linux.bin # gzip linux.bin # ./mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0xc0008000 -e 0xc0008000 -n "Linux Kernel Image" -d linux.bin.gz uImage
The uImage is programmed at 0x36000000 in NOR flash. But, When I try to run the kernel from u-boot it hangs at the following:
## Booting image at 36000000 ... Image Name: Linux kernel image Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 1112206 Bytes = 1.1 MB Load Address: c0008000 Entry Point: c0008000 Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
Starting kernel ...
When I looked through the debugger (Lauterbach), it hung at a virtual address inside panic.c.
If anyone can tell me as to what I am doing wrong, and how I can get the kernel up and running on this board, it will be really helpful.
Thanks,
K Shakthi
