Re: Memec v4fx12lc - problem booting linux on ppc

Olivier San,

The address of each device driver of LSP of MontaVista Linux and the
address of each IP of the generated circuit match?

Although your detailed environment is not known, the general way of
investigating is as follows.

Check where the processor was stopped by the stop command and the
processor has stopped after runing from xmd.
If compared with stopped address and the address of System.map or
disassembling list of vmlinux, it should be able to be decided by
which processing it has hangs.
Disassembling of vmlinux can be displayed by powerpc-linux-objdump -D 
vmlinux.

Hi,

we have a v4fx12lc fpga board from memec which we are trying to get
Linux to boot on the ppc processor. We have generated a linux kernel 
for
nfs using the MontaVista support package. We generate a bitfile with 
the
following hardware peripherals in it :

RS232
Ethernet_MAC
Led_4bit
Push_buttons_3bits
DIP_switches_8bit
OPB_INTC_0

When we download the linux image with xmd we see nothing on the screen.
When we type "run" nothing appears on the screen and Linux does not
boot.

Has anyone had a similar problem ? We are stuck! Any ideas would be
appreciated.

We can boot a linux ramdisk kernel provided by Memec on the same board
using their bitfile. So the board seems to be working in general.

Thansk for any pointers and excuse us if we are posting to the wrong
list (this is the only list we could find which seemed useful) !
