Hi,

I'm trying to get the U-Boot running on the Iris board with the
Toradex Colibri T20 module. I was able to flash the U-Boot and it
starts but then immediately stops with the only message being:

U-Boot 2013.07 (Aug 06 2013 - 17:47:43)

TEGRA20
Board: Toradex Colibri T20 on Iris
DRAM:


The Colibri T20 board used is:
256MB RAM
V1.2A

Could you please give me any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Latest U-Boot worked on my Setup (Colibri T20 on the Evaluation Board).
Although, I use the 512MiB variant:

TEGRA20
Board: Toradex Colibri T20 on Iris
DRAM:  512 MiB

So it must be DRAM related. RAM will be initialized according to ODM
data, see query_sdram_size in ./arch/arm/cpu/tegra-common/board.c. How
do you flash u-boot? Using tegrarcm or nvflash? Can you verify your ODM
data?

Hi Stefan,

You are correct, the problem with the U-Boot not starting was the value of the odmdata.

I was flashing the chip with the following:
# nvflash --bct colibri-t20-256-1.2-nand.bct --setbct --configfile nand.cfg --odmdata 0x1 --create --bl loader.nb0 --go

and when I changed it to:
# nvflash --bct colibri-t20-256-1.2-nand.bct --setbct --configfile nand.cfg --odmdata 0x10000000 --create --bl loader.nb0 --go

the U-Boot has started correctly.

BTW, can you confirm that the nvflash command line switches I'm using are correct and also that the new odmdata value (0x10000000) is a correct one?


My next issue is with booting the kernel, so I appreciate if you can also help me with it. I noticed that the U-Boot (version 2013.10) environment for the T20/Iris is quite bare and it looks for the boot scripts (e.g. boot.scr.uimg or boot.scr), which I presume sets up the whole environment before the actual booting. Do you know if I can find the scripts somewhere or do I need to write them myself?

Nonetheless, I have tried to boot the kernel with the bare environment, but had no bigger luck. I have compiled the kernel version 3.12.1 with the "tegra_defconfig" and LOADADDR equal to 0x00008000. I used the tftp to transfer the kernel image to the board and tried to boot it, but the only thing I get is the "Starting kernel ...". I believe the kernel might be booting, but does not give any feedback on the console and what is more, immediately after the boot command, the ethernet seems to be disabled, because the LEDs on the connector are switched off.

The reason I think the kernel boots to some stage is that, if I change the odmdata to 0x100C0000, I got the message:
Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x00000000).

Available machine support:

ID (hex)        NAME
ffffffff        Generic DT based system
ffffffff        NVIDIA Tegra SoC (Flattened Device Tree)

Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader.

So I guess the kernel is actually doing at least some initial tasks.

Any help appreciated!
