I have a problem that I am trying to solve with U-boot. What I have is a Ubicom processor with 128 MB of ram, and USB. What I need to do is load a 12 MB file into ram, and then program the flash with it. This
Please restrict your line length to some 70 characters or so.
version of u-boot was supplied by Ubicom for their chip. Every time I try t o load the file into ram from a FAT formatted USB drive, no matter what the starting address, u-boot crashes. What I need to know is this even possible? Has anyone else had this problem ? Should I attempt to try the latest version of u-boot? Ubicom has been no help at all.
Of course it is possible that U-Boot crashes, for example when there are hardware problems, or when there are bugs in the port to your board, or eventually even if you are running into a bug in common code.
If your board is supported in mainline, then running the latest version is strongly recommended.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
