I'll try to have linux support so.

Thank you.

initramfs handling is internal to Linux.  This is not a problem with
U-Boot.

Check how you build your kernel image and make sure the initramfs
image (and a working one) gets processed there.

[U-Boot] Fwd: Re: Boot Linux kernel with initramfs fails

2014-01-17 Thread Jean-baptiste DURONEA 

Dear Wolfgang Denk,

I forgot some explanations, sorry about that.

I refer to this problem :
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2013-July/159055.html

First, I tried to boot linux with initramfs through u-boot, but I had
the same problem explained in my first post.

Here is a part of the config file used by my -boot :

 /* High Level Configuration Options */
#define CONFIG_ARMV7/* This is armv7 Cortex-A9 CPU core */
#define CONFIG_MXC
#define CONFIG_MX6DL
#define CONFIG_MX6DL_DDR3
#define CONFIG_MX6DL_SABRESD
#define CONFIG_DDR_32BIT
#define CONFIG_FLASH_HEADER
#define CONFIG_FLASH_HEADER_OFFSET 0x400
#define CONFIG_MX6_CLK32   32768

/* Disable secure boot feature in default, if you want to enable this
 * feature, please carefully read related documents, you may needs to
 * change u-boot.lds */
#undef CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT

#define CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT

#define CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT
#undef CONFIG_ARCH_MMU /* disable MMU first */
#define CONFIG_L2_OFF  /* disable L2 cache first*/

#define CONFIG_MX6_HCLK_FREQ2400

#define CONFIG_DISPLAY_CPUINFO
#define CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO

#define CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_VSPRINTF

#define BOARD_LATE_INIT

#define CONFIG_CMDLINE_TAG/* enable passing of ATAGs */
#define CONFIG_SERIAL_TAG
#define CONFIG_REVISION_TAG
#define CONFIG_SETUP_MEMORY_TAGS
#define CONFIG_INITRD_TAG
#define CONFIG_MXC_GPIO

initramfs is loaded in ram at 0x10C0 by mfgtools, which is the
freescales's manufacturing tool.

I don't know which configuration I need to set on u-boot to tell him
initramfs is at address 0x10C0, and consequently it hands on linux.

 I am really bloqued on this problem.
Can you give me some hints ?


Tanks a lot !

I have the same problem !

The same problem as what or who?  I cannot even guess...


I have some trouble booting linux kernel with initramfs. I built linux
kernel with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD, so Kbuild generates
usr/initramfs_data.cpio which is integrated into the kernel.

...
...

My kernel hangs after the last line, instead of doing "Freeing init
memory: ..." but I don't know if it comes from the same problem or not...

Sorry, but I cannot see anything in your posting which might even
remotely be related to U-Boot.  This is the U-Boot mailing list - your
question is off topic here.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
