Hi, I have designed my own protocol and am trying to include it in u-boot.

In the Recieve Handler i am trying to dereference the pkt.

struct mypacket { unsigned int seqnum ; char data [24] ; } ;

struct mypacket mypacket ;

void myrecieve_handler (uchar * pkt, unsigned dest, unsigned src, unsigned len) { int seqnum ; uchar * q ;

if (dest != 8888) return ;

printf ("pkt => %u\n", pkt) ; printf ("len => %d\n", len) ;

q = pkt ; for (i = 0 ; i < len ; i++) { printf ("%d:%u=> %c\n", i, q, *q) ; q++ ; }

memcpy (&mypacket, pkt, sizeof (mypacket)) ; printf ("seq:%u\n", mypacket.seq) ; printf ("data:%s\n", mypacket.data) ; printf ("before\n") ; seqnum = * (int *) pkt ; /* <------------------------ Abort - Board Hangs */ printf ("after\n") ;

}

I am able to access the contents of pkt 1) byte by byte 2) memcpy

But, as soon as i try to deference it either by doing 1) * (int *) pkt /***************** board hangs ********/ or 2) mp = (struct mypacket *) pkt printf ("%u\n", mp -> seqnum) ; /************* board Hangs *************/

I get the Error shown below.

As, soon as seqnum = * (int *) pkt - is executed my board prints the message:

Why is that ?.

I dont understand this. i am using an OMAP 5912 OSK BOARD.

Is it not possible to dereference pkt ?.
