OK guys, its working!!!! YEAH!!!! Last problem
turned out to be an
open resistor / bad solder joint on the address
bus! We can now erase
the flash chip entirely. I also did the prog
command to upload
uboot.bin and can see the uboot version at the
base address - so this
stage is now completed!!!! Thanks so much for all
the help guys, I
doubt we would have gotten so far without this
community and we are
most grateful! I feel so much smarter now ;-) .
As do we all. ;-)
Last question before I get into my code finally -
and I'll start a new
thread when I start debugging: The bdi docs in the
uboot manual seem
to stop at the 'go' command. When I type 'info' I
get a running state.
Just a couple hints that may be useful for your next steps...
If you didn't already know, you can type halt in the BDI console when you are in a running state and get whatever is running (e.g., U-Boot) suspended. This is handy when you are looking at lots of debug output in the U-Boot console (you'll get there ;-)
Also, you can attach gdb through the BDI if you don't have an extra serial port (you can set up kgdb through U-Boot via a second serial interface). This has been real handy for me.
Glad to see you've gotten this far! Continued good luck.
