[U-Boot] Obtaining start/end address of an MTD partition

Hello all, I've posted this to the MTD mailing list to no avail :-( I'm hoping that somebody can help me here... Is it possible to obtain an MTD partition's start address (either through usage of the MTD ioctls or some other means)? I've had a very quick look and from what I can tell, this doesn'

[U-Boot] Obtaining board specific phy diagnostics

Hi all, Is there a common mechanism to hook in board specific ethernet phy commands? For example, I'd like to hook in the ability to read the TDR characteristics of the ethernet cable connected to my board. I know the phy on my board supports this so I was planning on hooking it into the mii comma

[U-Boot] Network based logging with U-Boot

Hello all, Is U-Boot able to log its actives etc to a machine accessible via the network? Desirable -> U-Boot being able to log all its boot up info and details regarding booting it's OS image etc (ie everything sent to stdout) to a file on a remote machine. Scenario - multiple deployments all h

Hi TsiChung / Wolfgang, I just pulled u-boot.git to re-sync and tried to configure and build it for M54455EVB_intel_config but the compilation failed. I tried a fresh clone just to be sure and it was the same. [snip] m68k-linux-gnu-gcc -g -Os -ffixed-d7 -msep-data -D__KERNEL__ -DTEXT_BASE=0x

[U-Boot] Can't start Linux if U-Boot built with CONFIG_WATCHDOG

Hello all, I've added watchdog support based on U-Boot (git) for the m68k coldfire mcf54455evb platform. I've fed the patch to the maintainer to help in development. However, I am unable to start my m68k w/MMU coldfire Linux kernel from U-Boot if U-Boot is built with CONFIG_WATCHDOG regardless if

[U-Boot] Providing more board info from U-Boot to resident OS

Hello all, U-Boot provides data containing board information to a resident OS that may be booted. Are there plans to extend this so that an additional 'level' of more specific board information can be provided to the OS? Specifically, and for example, is there a mechanism that U-Boot can use to i

[U-Boot] mcf54455 evb ethernet tx timeouts

Hi TsiChung, I pulled U-Boot from git (2009.06-00185-g57fe301), configured it for the Freescale mcf54455 EVB with Intel flash (M54455EVB_intel_config) and programmed it into the Intel flash device. It boots fine but when it attempts any ethernet communication whatsoever there are tx timeouts from

[U-Boot] mcf5445x watchdog support in U-Boot

Hi TsiChung et al, I was wondering if there are plans to support and utilise the watchdog in the mcf5445x devices within U-Boot? I've ported a kernel driver from the bitshrine gpp (http://www.bitshrine.org/gpp/linux-2.6.25-mcfv4e-watchdog.patch) so that it hooks into my 54455 hw (Freescale EVB),
