I can't seem to get the CP command to work at all. I want to test it by doing a simple SDRAM copy. I know the SDRAM works and I know where it is because I can use tftp to load a kernel image, and then boot the kernel from RAM. I am using the linuxstamp http://opencircuits.com/Linuxstamp which is based on atmel's at91rm9200. The main version I have been using is a patched version of 1.1.6. I have also tried 1.3.0-rc3. Both versions have the same result. If I do
tftpboot 20100000 uImage
This works. If I do
md 20000000
or
md 20001000
It works, but if I do
cp 20000000 20001000 256
I get the error "Copy to Flash... General Flash Programming Error" Why does it think this is a flash operation? I am using RAM addresses. If I do
protect off all
It doesn't change anything
I feel like I don't understand something important about how CP works. Please help.
thanks, Paul
From your board definitions if i understand, the CFG_FLASH_BASE is at
0x10000000 for 2 Megs. Please check with "flinfo" command to see if the sectors are listed out correctly. The problem seems to be that the address 20001000 in "cp" command is detected in the flash region. In case if it is in the RAM region, it should be copied.
Moreover, direct tftp to flash region is possible. So, we cannot conclude from tftp that the address is in RAM region.
