Need help booting linux on my 8265 board

[liuming]

Hi,
  I have problem booting linux on my 8265 board. Both u-boot and ppcboot
run well, but when I boot the linux kernel, the board be dead. At this
time the registers look like to be some default values(use powertap
pro). I try u-boot1.1, ppcboot1.1.5; linux kernel 2.4.4 2.4.18 2.4.20.

(1)about compile kernel
vim Makefile,        arch=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_82xx-
vim arch/ppc/platforms/ads826x.h,      IMAP_ADDR=0x04700000 BCSR=0x04500000

then make mrproper/ make ads826x_config/ make oldconfig/ make dep/ make
pImage (bd info struct is quite same between uboot and linux)

Is there anything I had ignored?

(2)let's see!(I add some "printf" to display values,
"console=ttyS0,9600" is added)

then the board is dead and the LED(FCC link) coruscate . (I have

it's the reason?) any ideas? thanks a lot!

I have already answered your questions on the U-Boot users mailing list.

Why didn't you read my message?

Your memory map is broken; this cannot work.

request: PPC embedded board for DivX/MPEG-4

[Matevz Langus]

Hi,

Does anybody here have/produce an embedded PowerPC board which is
capable (enough CPU power) of decoding DivX/MPEG-4 movies and has
possibility to connect display or at least graphics chip.

thanks,
  Matevz Langus

p.s. Please reply directly to me in order not to disturb the list too
much.

I am newbie to the Linux Porting. I am having a mpc8260 board(custom

appreciated.

If you have custom hardware, you cannot use the configuration for the
Cogent board. Each board needs special adaptions and configuration.

Why do you do this? If you have read the U-Boot mailing list archives
(You DID read he archives before posting, didn't you???)  you  should
have  learned  that  this  is  not  as  trivial  as it may seem. It's
defintely not an option if you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing.

Well, you ran into an error, obviously because the  flash  memory  on
your  hardware  is  different  from  the  configuration on the Cogent
board.


And bythe way: please post such questions to the U-Boot-users mailing
list instead; they are off topic here.

Need help booting linux on my 8265 boardHello,Mr Pereira

   thanks for your reply.
   I'm sure  IMMR base is the same for both U-boot and Linux. Uboot mapped at 0xfff00000, but I want to know why linux mapped at 0xC0000000 , the uboot say   "## Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000) ...", so KERNELLOAD should be 0xc0000000 or 0x00000000?
    and if I use linux kernel 2.4.20,  CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ should be 0 or 1?


Best Regards
Ming Liu

Hi

Make sure that your IMMR base is the same for both U-boot and Linux. Ensure that they are both mapped above the virtual meomry base (0xC0000000) used by Linux, else you will have problems once ypou start to execute code.

Can you please  STOP  posting  nearly  the  same  quesrtions  to  the
linuxppc-embedded  and  u-boot-users mailing lists? Please decide for
one list, or, if you really, really feel the message must go to  both
lists,  then  send  it  as  Cc:,  but never two separate and slightly
different messages.

Welcome to the world of virtual addresses. See
http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/PPCEmbedded/Kernel#Section_10.2.

>     and if I use linux kernel 2.4.20,  CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ should be 0 or 1?

It should be not defined at all.

There are two ways to write error-free programs. Only the  third  one
works.
