Richard,

Using a cmm file alone prior to booting the kernel may not work well,
unless your CMM file is very complete in the way it sets up DDR.  There
are some bits about using lock/unlock mode which can cause issues. I
don't expect you have that.

Generally, I just use a CMM file to burn in u-boot, and I know the
u-boot sets up the memory properly.

A recent H4 board could also cause some trouble unfortunately.  The H4
variants in the past have been populated by something like 6 different
memory components.  Recently, someone had informed me that they switched
the component again as the previous part was end of lifed.  I've don't
have that version of the board so I have not tried it.  I suspect your
CMM file could be even more wrong then it was before on that board.

I'll send you a recent u-boot build and you can try it on your board.
If it doesn't work, then yet another memory part needs to be added to
the probe sequence... Or you might be able to get away with updating
your CMM file.

The 2430 download area had a 2.6.10 which worked for both 2420 and 2430.
That image was much better than the 2.6.9 one.  We have some programs
requiring a couple newer kernel versions which are underway, but those
are at fairly early stages and may not have undergone h4 testing.

Regards,
Richard W.

Richard,

I think you may be attacking this from a less than optimal way.  Is
there any reason you need the 2.6.9 kernel per say?  There was a 2.6.10
one which should work just fine.

I would suspect that your board revision along with u-boot version might
be a lot of your problem.

If you provide a u-boot dump of the board boot up, then some more
information can be clarified.

I can send you a u-boot which should work across boards, assuming your
board is not too old.

If you have a 2420-ES1 chip and you have a DDR part, then you will be in
for a rough ride.  You should use SDRAM in that case.  Many bugs
hardware and software have been fixed between the very first board and
the current boards...

Regards,
Richard W .

It is likely your u-boot or kernel might be mis-matched with respect to
the mach-type.

This is just a simple error hang loop.  If it can't figure out processor
variant or mach-type it jumps to a hang. It is likely either a mismatch
or memory corruption.

Richard W.

Hi,

 

I wonder if anyone has any experience with LINUX 2.6.9 built with gcc 3.4.1
for ARM running on TI OMAP2420 H4 board.

 

I download the kernel via JTAG to 0x80000000 and start it running. It runs
for 35 instructions and then ends up in a tight loop at 0x80008118 which
contains a nop followed by a branch to 0x80008118.

 

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

 

TIA,

 

Richard.
