UBOOT Compilation

2007-03-08 Thread Andrew Armstrong
Hi Guys, Have any of you managed to compile and get running U-BOOT via the source available on the Ti website? (u-boot-1.1.3_rel_00.05.04-tisb.tar.gz) As far as I am aware I have correctly configured and made the project (for default NOR), however the uboot.bin file generated, once uploaded via

Hi Andrew, you can not load u-boot directly through uart because the uart load goes to internal ram which simply isn't big enough. You need a second level boot loader which fits in internal ram and than loads u-boot to external ram. Rudy has provided such a beast here (check the archives,

Peter, I will have a more detailed look at this! I assumed that the Ti DVserialboot was essentially providing the second level boot loader. If this is not the case it would explain a lot. Regards, Andrew Thu, 2007-03-08 at 11:16 +0100, Peter Wippich wrote: Hi Andrew, you can not load

Hi Peter, Can you share your u-boot-1.1.6 with us? AFAIK it has more flexible support for NAND devices. E.g. you don't need to hardcode your u-boot for particular NAND geometry, but rather it detects and handles this runtime. It also supports a great deal of Manufacturer IDs and Device IDs (code

Hi Ivan, my version is attached. I've not used it for NAND so far, but changed it to use the CFI flash driver. If you rely on any custom flash driver for NOR flash be sure to keep this. Warning: the current config file is set up for UART boot to ram. You need to change this before burning
