Hi,
I have tried to send this message some part of it was ignored, resending
sorry ...
greetings,
I'm newbie to arm linux, so pls if my issue is already addressed just
point me to that reference. I'm trying to learn, but couldn't pass the
following stage:
I have a s3c245 based board, I have a working compressed kernel image
zImage, this image boots properly via u-boot-1.1.6, however I simply
failed to load (i.e., boot vmlinux) via u-boot directly from SDRAM.
more details:
1. I let the target boot until the message of " Hit any key to stop
autoboot: " for which I hit enter, (this initialized the board
enables MMU, I-Cache, .. etc);
2. board info as seen by u-boot
# bdinfo
arch_number = 0x00000648
env_t = 0x00000000
boot_params = 0x30000100
DRAM bank = 0x00000000
-> start = 0x30000000
-> size = 0x04000000
DRAM bank = 0x00000001
-> start = 0x38000000
-> size = 0x04000000
ethaddr = ...:5B
ip_addr = ...200
baudrate = 115200 bps
3. laod vmlinux to SDRAM :
tftp 30008000 vmlinux
TFTP from server ...210; our IP address is ...200
Filename 'vmlinux'.
Load address: 0x30008000
Loading: T ############ .....
4. # bootm 30008000
## Booting image at 30008000 ...
Boot with Image
do not support this address : 30008000
Starting kernel ...
and nothing happens it probably crashed somewhere, why zImage works
while vmlinux does not?
thanks,
ferar
