Subject: [U-Boot] Allocating memory in u-boot application
Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2010 12:14:29 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C3AB9CD.3000003@deeopl.com> (raw)

hi,
I am working on PPC440EP base custom board. I managed to port u-boot 
successfully.
The requirement is, there should be no OS running on-board and run an 
application in u-boot. I have successfully ported and example 
application also.
The part of my requirement is to read data as large as 10MB from NVRAM 
and load it to PC.
I am not able to allocate more than 64kB to a buffer. When i allocate 
even 1MB, my application hangs when i try to access the buffer. I have 
64MB DDR-RAM interface to PPC440EP.

The size of my application is 300kB and i don't think u-boot uses large 
memory.
How can I malloc big size to a buffer in this case. Please help me fix 
this issue, thanks in advance.

Regards,
Prathika R
