[U-Boot] P2020rdb :- process hangs while invalidate_tlb's
Hi
I am working on a custom board (VPX Based P2020 board) and trying to port u-boot-2011.09 (supports P2020 RDB) in it . Our board is similar to P2020RDB board and the technical specification is shown below ,
->Processor
Freescale QorIQ P2020 processor Dual PowerPC e500v2 cores at up to 1.2 GHz 512 kB of shared L2 cache
->Memory
1 GB of DDR3-600 SDRAM 128 MB of NOR flash (16-bit)
Through Codewarroier Emulator Tool, We checked the DDR,FLASH,Uart console and its working fine without any issue.
when we ported u-boot (u-boot-2011.09) at boot rom location 0xFFF80000, it fails at invalidate_tlbs in cpu_init_early_f and cannot proceed to get serial console .we probed the flash CS while poweron boot , processor is keeping bunch of CS( confirms processor able to access flash)
Why its getting held up while invalidating tlb's
Can you help us to solve the issue

You should always try with the latest version when asking for help (even if you will eventually need to use an older version for some other (usually not very good) reason).

Are you sure that's where it's failing? It could be that you just can't single step through that boot phase. There were recently applied patches to shrink the "undebuggable" window somewhat.
If that's not it, probably there's no IPROT TLB entry covering the address you're running out of, or covering the initial RAM area. Have you tried dumping the TLB?

Hi Scott,
Thanks for ur reply,
Problem got solved after increasing the TLB entry size of flash to 256MB.
Now u-boot booted properly and able to get the prompt.
