Dear Sphie, in message [ref] you wrote:
we need to have the start of Ram at 0x0300 0000 because we use the command mem=40M (for uboot) to force Linux in the low part of memory and to reserve the high part of memory (218M exactly ) for ioremap (for our application) but we keep
I don't see any reason why this would prevent you from mapping the RAM at physical address 0.
the same flash mapping (to avoid more problems).
I don't know which problems you want to avoid by your chosen memory map, but I guess that the problems you *cause* by this choice are more, and more severe.
Is the only solution is to inverse the mapping with Ram from 0 to 258M and the flash above ?
Yes.
Finally, will Busybox work with Ram starting at 0x03000000 ?
No, it will not, as BB is application code which requires a running kernel, and your kernel will not run with such a mapping.
