Hi!
I have the following system: - Board: Artila M-501 with Atmel AT91RM9200 - 16MB Flash - 64MB SDRAM - U-Boot 1.1.2 - Linux: 2.6
I am new to those bootloader and embedded linux things, so I messed up the configuration of u-boot... Then I recovered the Board with new loader, environment and new kernel and ramdisk -> I used the official "recovery package" of Artila (I know that it wouldn't have been necessary to do all the things, but I wasn't sure if the bootloader was the only problem...)
So now it starts but after a while it hangs after the following message: --- Start --- Starting M501............. Starting kernel ...
Uncompressing Linux............................................................................................... done, booting the kernel. --- End ---
I have the following conf. in U-Boot: --- Start --- Artila> printenv baudrate=115200 ethaddr=00:13:48:00:77:b5 rootpath=/opt/arm lel=1 initrd=0x20800000,8192000 ramdisk_size=15360 root=/dev/ram0 rw loader=tftp 21000000 m501_64M.alf mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:128k(loader)ro,128k(reserved)ro,1408k(linux)ro,2560(r amdisk)ro,-(userdisk) filesize=3A3 gateway=192.168.1.1 netmask=255.255.255.0 bootcmd=bootm 10040000 101a0000 kernel=tftp 21000000 M501K;erase 10040000 1019ffff;cp.b 21000000 10040000 $(file size) skernel=loadb 21000000;erase 10040000 1019ffff;cp.b 21000000 10040000 $(filesize ) ramdisk=tftp 21000000 M501R;erase 101a0000 1041ffff;cp.b 21000000 101a0000 $(fil esize) sramdisk=loadb 21000000;erase 101a0000 1041ffff;cp.b 21000000 101a0000 $(filesiz e) serverip=192.168.2.150 ipaddr=192.168.2.196 bootdelay=1 bargs=setenv bootargs mem=64M console=$(console),115200 initrd=0x20800000,819200 0 ramdisk_size=15360 root=/dev/ram0 rw mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:128k(loader)ro ,128k(env)ro,1408k(linux)ro,2560k(ramdisk)ro,-(userdisk) bootargs=mem=64M console=NULL,115200 initrd=0x20800000,8192000 ramdisk_size=1536 0 root=/dev/ram0 rw mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:128k(loader)ro,128k(reserved)ro,1 408k(linux)ro,2560k(ramdisk)ro,-(userdisk) console=ttyS0 stdin=serial stdout=serial stderr=serial --- End ---
bdinfo gives the following output: --- Start --- Artila> bdinfo arch_number = 0x00000537 env_t = 0x00000000 boot_params = 0x20000100 DRAM bank = 0x00000000 -> start = 0x20000000 -> size = 0x02000000 ethaddr = 00:13:48:00:77:B5 ip_addr = 192.168.2.196 baudrate = 115200 bps flash size = 16 MB --- End ---
What could be the problem? How can I find out where the problem is? --> Is it possible that the kernel hangs because of a hardware-bug?
Thanks for every hint! Michael
