Hi at all Since two week I have this Problem and can't solve it. I allready read DULG and search in Mailinglists but I can't run linux. Perhaps had the same problem and can help me. My Problem: After I load the uImage (uImage at 0x00400000 ) from server, I try to run in with command bootm. => bootm 00400000 Booting image at 00400000... Image Name: Linux-2.4.24-pre2 Created: 2006-01-19 6:25:03 UTC Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 700730 Bytes = 684.3 kB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ... OK Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK don't start kernel my board : sdram 16m 0----ffffff flash 4m ffc00000 ---fffffff
routing, so my current assumption is that I either have VIRTEX_UART defined improperly or I have the ppc_sys data structure created wrong.quoted
It would be really nice if the was either some comments in xparameters.h or in the Documents directory explaining what the Linux xparameters values are so that it it would be easy to know what items from xparameters_xxx.h have to be mapped or redefined.quoted
This really isn't a big deal anyway; most of this discussion will become moot in short order. Sometime in the next few releases, linuxppc will flip over to using a flattened device tree to pass device information from the boot loader to the kernel. xparameters will drop out of the kernel proper entirely except for the edk-generated device drivers (which is another issue entirely). All the xparam stuff will be extracted into a device tree by u-boot or the zImage wrapper. The kernel just won't care. :)Where can we get more information on what is happening here ? I started the E12 port with most info in xparameters, but I have been moving towards getting things passed in board_info. I am not using u-boot as the E12 has a general purpose elf loader, and it was easier to add a fee lines for Linux. Regardless I would like to be compatible with whatever is coming - maybe even ahead fo the curve. The e12 is just the first of a family of products - the e14 already exists. There maybe revisions of each at different speeds with different memory. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list Linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
