There is an error in  the spd_sdram.c file in a loop statement that is wrong if you are using two Dimms.
 
It missing initializing a part of the second dimm.  So if you have a 1gig of memory it will show up as 768Megs.
 
I have correct this but need to know on the procedure for sending a patch?
 
 1730                         /*
   1731                          * enable the bank
   1732                          */
   1733                         cr |= SDRAM_BXCR_SDBE;
   1734
   1735                         for (i = 0; i < num_banks; i++) {
   1736                          if (dimm_num == 1)
   1737                          {
   1738                                 bank_parms[ctrl_bank_num[dimm_num]+i+1].        bank_size_bytes =       (4 * 1024 * 1024) * bank_size_id;
   1739                                 bank_parms[ctrl_bank_num[dimm_num]+i+1].        cr = cr;
   1740                          }
   1741                          else
   1742                          {
   1743                                 bank_parms[ctrl_bank_num[dimm_num]+i].ba        nk_size_bytes = (4 * 1024 * 1024) * bank_size_id;
   1744                                 bank_parms[ctrl_bank_num[dimm_num]+i].cr         = cr;
   1745                          }
 
Without the patch it initializing like this:
0 = 256M
1 = 256M
1= 256M
2= 256M
 
Total 768M
 
With the patch:
0= 256M
1=256M
2=256M
3=256M
 
Total 1024M

Stefan,

Thank you for the init.S file.  But the problem still persists.

Here is what I get:
U-Boot 1.1.4 (Oct  1 2006 - 02:58:55)

CPU:   AMCC PowerPC 440GX Rev. F at 800 MHz (PLB=160, OPB=80, EBC=40
MHz)
       I2C boot EEPROM enabled
       Internal PCI arbiter enabled
       32 kB I-Cache 32 kB D-Cache
Board: Ocotea - AMCC PPC440GX Evaluation Board
I2C:   ready
DRAM:  DIMM slot 0: populated
DIMM slot 1: populated
DIMM slot 0: DDR SDRAM detected
DIMM slot 1: DDR SDRAM detected
DIMM 0 voltage level supported.
Finish program_cfg0
Finish program_cfg1
Finish program_rtr
tr0: 410b401a
Finish program_tr0
Finish program_bxcr Total_Size 805306368     <----  Here is part of the
problem this should return  about a 1Gig of memory but it only returns
805Megs.  

If I try only one dimm and move it to either slot it shows the correct
amount but with two dimms the calculation is wrong.

It seems like I am miss about two (or one) banks from the Dimm which I
assume equals 256M.

I am still working on what is causing the wrong amount.

Gerald

Only 768MB? Does this mean you are using more than 512MB? As I mentioned

earlier, this can't work right now. The TLB setup is for a max. of
512MB.

Please try the attached init.S file. It fixes the issue mentioned by
Marc
Howard _and_ adds TLB entries for a max. of 1GB of DDR. It will be
checked
into the official git tree in a few days.

Please let me know if this changes anything.

Best regards,
Stefan
