[U-Boot-Users] Boot password

I am using a board similar to IXDP425 and would like a password for boot. I have defined CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED And also defined: CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT and CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
We got the CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT but it sayed forever or until we typed the password.
When compiling we got undefined reference to get_ticks and get_tbclk We copied these functions from cpu/arm925t/interrupts.c to cpu/ixp/interrupts.c
What might have gone wrong?

the autoboot keystring is actually a string that allows you to enter command line interface of u-boot, not a boot password to prevent booting by unauthorised users.

Well, if the unauthorised user does not know the string so it is actually a password. What happened in my case was that U-boot was stuck until I entered the autoboot keystring. I expected it to autoboot after 5 seconds which did not happen.

Hmmm. Just copying those files might be your problem. Most likely they have to be "ported" to ixp.

What happens on your prompt when you type "sleep 3"?
