I work with a Freescale LITE5200B, but I have a problem, when I download a rootfs image to a flash memory in the board, hi have one error:
You don't provide much information (like which software you use to do the copying - U-Boot, Linux, ... ?), but let me guess...
=> Copy To Flash ............. Outside available Flash The size of the image is of 3285336 bytes, but the flash memory capacity is 32 MBytes, and I load the image in the first sector on the flash memory.
Let me guess: you do this in U-Boot, and forget * that U-Boot commands take are usually interpreted in hex, i. e. if you enter a byte count of '3285336' than this is 52974390 decimal or 50+ MB which definitely *is* outside the available flash and/or * that the U-Boot "cp" command operates on 32 bit words (= 4 bytes), so when you want to specify a byte count you have to use the "cp.b" variant of this command Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- Software Engineering: Embedded and Realtime Systems, Embedded Linux Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: wd@denx.de "Just think, with VLSI we can have 100 ENIACS on a chip!" - Alan Perlis
