[U-Boot-Users] U-boot fails with new versatile PB (lead-free version)
Hi All,
I tried with the latest versatile PB926EJ-S (Lead Free Version). The failure i get is: DRAM: 0kb Flash: 0kb Whereas in the old boards, it used to say DRAM: 0kb Flash: 64M
And after that, in the new board, when I try to do a saveenv, it fails with a "start/end address not on sector boundary". The same image works perfectly in the older boards (purchased last year). Anyone came across this problems? Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards Rajesh
A bit more info..
When i type "List Area" from the boot monitor code, i get
Base Area Size Blocks Block Size --------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- 0x34000000 256k 4 64k 0x34040000 65280k 255 256k 0x30000000 256k 4 64k 0x30040000 65280k 255 256k
whereas in the older boards, i used to get
Base Area Size Blocks Block Size --------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- 0x34000000 64M 256 256k
Thanks & Regards Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
It looks like your memory part is different: the original flash has 256 equal size blocks, the new flash is "bottom boot" with four 64K blocks in the lowest 256K area. You probably need to do some configuration (rebuild) u-boot for the different parts.
Beyond this general information I'm afraid I don't have enough knowledge to help.
Best regards, gvb
Thanks Jerry,
The new board had flash 256L30B, which i see, was not supported in the U-boot. I added the flash id, and it works ok. But i mam not sure if what i did was correct ot not.. I handled this part exactly in the same way as the older one (256K3). I think it should've been more like 256L18 (which is already in the code..) but it gives some error of sector size more than maximum.. Anyhow, It works and serves my purpose. Just to let people here know so that the new part may be included in the next build of u-boot..
Thanks & Regards Rajesh
