Actually I am using a Freescale bsp that uses the u-boot-1.1.6 with some patches that modifies the bootloader for the freescale mpc8323erdb platform. This platform uses the mpc8323erdb.c source which has the int fixed_sdram(void) function on it to set the fixed ram to 64Mbytes.
That's a pretty much obsolete out-of-tree port then. We don't really support these here.
Are you sure it's based on version 1.1.6?
I was thinking to include the get_ram_size() function on that source to recognize automatticaly the ram size. Do you know if it is possible?
Everything is possible in software if you put enough effort and resources on it. The question is if this makes any sense.
Spending efforts on U-Boot 1.1.6 based code does not make any sense any more.
I am affraid to change the bootloader version to the latest one and get the patches missed so I could not have my system working anymore.
Changing the memory controller init code will need thorough debugging and testing in any case. This is not a task for the unexperienced.
Best regards,
