Re: [U-Boot-Users] Need help booting linux on 8265 eval board

hello,Mr Wolfgang thanks for your reply. I think i should describe the problem clearly.
First i explain why i modified the uboot/linux default values. I'm a graduate student. the board is designed by my schoolfellow(the board use 8265,but it is very like the board MPC8266ADS-PCI-AI), but this board is not supported by uboot, I must modify the configuration of sdram,IMMR and some other registers(from motorola datasheet). now the uboot looks running well(it can read/write flash/sdram, scc and fcc is also working), but when i boot the linux kernel, i meet the problem. i think i must let imap_addr(linux kernel)=IMMR(uboot), so I modify some default values. Now I want to know why linux mapped at 0xC0000000 , the uboot say "## Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000) ...", so KERNELLOAD should be 0xc0000000 or 0x00000000? and if I use linux kernel 2.4.20, CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ should be 0 or 1?

Be careful. User the default values as defined in U-Boot and Linux, and DON'T change these unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing.
vim Makefile, arch=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_82xx vim arch/ppc/platforms/ads826x.h, IMAP_ADDR=0x04700000 BCSR=0x04500000
This cannot work. Please leave the mapping as defined by U-Boot and Linux.
then the board is dead and the LED(FCC link) coruscate . (I have modified clock calculations for this board. it's the reason?) any ideas? thanks a lot!
You seem to modify a lot of stuff without konwing exactly why - don;t do this. The default values are there for a reason - they are known to work.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Hi,
I have problem booting linux on 8265 eval board. when I boot the linux kernel, the board be dead. the registers look like
to be some default values(use powertap pro). I try u-boot1.1, ppcboot1.1.5; linux kernel 2.4.4 2.4.18 2.4.20.
(1)about kernel vim Makefile, arch=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_82xx vim arch/ppc/platforms/ads826x.h, IMAP_ADDR=0x04700000 BCSR=0x04500000 then make mrproper/make ads826x_config/make oldconfig/make dep/make pImage (bd info struct is quite same between uboot and linux)
Is there anything I had ignored?
(2)let's see!(I add some "printf" to display values, "console=ttyS0,9600" is added) => bootm ffa00000 ffc00000 ## Booting image at ffa00000 ...

Indeed.

I'm a graduate student. the board is designed by my schoolfellow(the board use 8265,but it is very like the board MPC8266ADS-PCI-AI), but this board is not supported by uboot, I must modify the configuration of sdram,IMMR and some other registers(from motorola datasheet). now the uboot looks running well(it can read/write flash/sdram, scc and fcc is also working), but when i boot the linux kernel, i meet the problem. i think i must let imap_addr(linux kernel)=IMMR(uboot), so I modify some default values.
Correct. But when you change somethiung, you better understand what you change, and why, and how.
You must not try mapping the IMMR at such a low address. See http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/PPCEmbedded/Kernel#Section_10.2. for some description about the Linux kernel's memory map.
Now I want to know why linux mapped at 0xC0000000 , the uboot say "## Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000) ...", so KERNELLOAD should be 0xc0000000 or 0x00000000?
Don;t even think of changing KERNELLOAD or things like that unless you really understand what's going on. Both 0x00000000 and 0xc0000000 are correct addresses - one being a physical one, the other a vrirtual one.
and if I use linux kernel 2.4.20, CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ should be 0 or
1?
Neither 0 nor 1. It must be undefined.
