[U-Boot] [PATCH] mx28evk: Scan only first 512 MB of DRAM to avoid memory wraparound

From: Fabio Estevam fabio.estevam@freescale.com
Scan only first 512 MB of DRAM to avoid memory wraparound.
This fixes mx28evk boot and it follows the same idea of commit 19a2066b57 (M28: Scan only first 512 MB of DRAM to avoid memory wraparound)

Thanks, sorry for the breakage.

btw. I think Otavio was working on some common config, wasn't he? btw2. won't there ever be MX28EVK with more than 512MB of DRAM?

Yes, I think Otavio is working on that.

I don't think there will be other revision of mx28evk board.

That'd be so cool ... :)

All right, this approach is valid then. Btw. Fabio, can you verify that you don't see any memory aliasing now (just to avoid trouble).

Try writing some pattern into DRAM at "offset-sizeof(pattern area)" and try reading it from "2*offset + sizeof(pattern area)" ... try doing the same for 4*offset etc.
You might also be able to read data from memory behind what uboot considers as detected DRAM which will have the same contents as the detected DRAM etc.

Actually I think it would be better to define the total size of RAM for mx28evk as 128MB.
Do you agree?

Yes, it's fine with me.

Actually I think this should not be needed. Such wrap-arounds are supposed to be detected by get_ram_size(), which should result in properly sized RAM mappings.
Why is this failing here?
