RE: [U-Boot-Users] FW: Trying to program u-boot into flash using BDI2000
I just switched to our second ebony and it worked. I was holding off using that box as we already had a functional VxWorks bootrom on it. Given that they appeared to be no clear answers, I figured it was worth swapping to see what would happen.
... and it passed. Woohoo.
Sorry for red herring.

For those who don't follow linuxppc-embedded, any ideas. I realized this list might be in a better position to answer this thread.
Thanks,

Yep, I have these (peripheral bus setups) set as per the BDI config file. I'll go ahead and attach the whole thing instead of just [HOST] and [FLASH].
The default boot setup on Ebony is to use a 0.5MB chunk of flash at the very top of the memory map (0xfff80000 --> 0xffffffff). I also just realized that the u-boot.bin that I'm trying to load is 524788bytes. Given that 0.5MB is not exactly 500000bytes and is right around the 524788 number, is it that:
(a) 0.5MB is not enough to hold the u-boot binary?? (b) u-boot is designed to fit like a glove into 0.5MB of flash. It sounds like too much of a coincidence to be right around the 524K number.
Others that have installed u-boot/ppcboot into ebony/walnut flash, have the used the default top 0.5MB chunk or RAM, or did they have to change dip switches to achieve a configuration that provided a larger boot flash area??

Are the peripheral bus setups correct?
These are what I was using

The embedded linux on ebony(440GP) saga continues:
- ELDK in place (check)
- kernel compiled (check)
- u-boot compiled (check)
- ebony in place (check ... dip switch settings confirmed)
- BDI2000 in hand (arrived this morning)
OK, I'm trying to program flash with u-boot (I'm using u-boot.bin). I am using the 440GP config file provided by abatron, plus the [FLASH]
parameters
from the example in the bdiGDB users manual for programming flash on the 405. It looks like the memory map as it pertains to flash as well as the part (AMD29F040) was consistent from the 405 --> 440, so it seemed
logical
to use these FLASH values. The 440GP config file provided does not have
any
FLASH parameters set, which is why I made this change.
Well, I successfully erased the flash from 0xfff8000 - 0xffffffff and checked the locations after the erase ... they were all 'F's. I then
tried
to program the flash with my u-boot.bin and got the following:
===== start of bdi clip ===== BDI>prog 0xfff80000 u-boot.bin bin= Programming u-boot.bin , please wait .... # Programming flash memory failed at 0xfff80000 BDI>prog 0xfff80000 u-boot.bin bin Programming u-boot.bin , please wait .... # Programming flash memory failed at 0xfff80000 BDI> ===== end of bdi clip =====
Any ideas why this failed. Attached is my config file. I'll just attach
the
[HOST] and [FLASH] sections to make it a little easier on the eyes. For anyone familiar with BDI sample 440GP confile file, you will see that it
is
this file with the [FLASH] additions I mentioned above. Actually, after looking at the file, I remembered that I also trimmed information in the [HOST] section ... specifically stuff that was presuming path to Windows information. My host is Linux.
