As you probably know the PPCBoot project has been discuntinued, and all efforts are now put into the U-Boot successor project. U-Boot has support for video on MPC823, for I2C, and for IDE. Same for our kernel (module linux-2.4 in our CVS server); it includes video drivers for the MPC823, see: arch/ppc/8xx_io/lcdvideo.h arch/ppc/8xx_io/video823.c arch/ppc/8xx_io/video_ad7176.h arch/ppc/8xx_io/video_ad7177.h arch/ppc/8xx_io/video_ad7179.h As you can see, the ad7176 encoder used in your project is supported, to. And of course there are I2C and IDE drivers in this kernel, too.

* zImage.initrd: when the compressed RAM file system is decompressed and installed? 2003-07-23 9:03 ` Custom MPC823 Wolfgang Denk @ 2003-07-23 15:41 ` dong in kang 0 siblings, 0 replies; 2+ messages in thread From: dong in kang @ 2003-07-23 15:41 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linuxppc-embedded Hello, I'm using MV Linux 2.1 with Linux kernel version 2.4.17. I compiled the kernel with initrd to make zImage.initrd. I configured RAM file system is used. I loaded the kernel at 0x800000 and run the code. Kernel decompression and start_kernel routine works fine (with a little problem). pciauto_bus_scan() causes problem when I do not use gdb. At early_read_config_byte (), machine check exception occurs. Howerver, when I use gdb and step through the early_read_config_byte() routine, it goes well beyond that. When I use gdb and step through "pciauto_bus_scan()", it runs remaining routines such as init_IRQ(), sched_init(), ..., rest_init() --> idled() --> schedule(). When it tries to switch to new thread by calling "_switch(old_thread, new_thread)", it dies. Gdb "step" function doesn't work. And when I stop the process, the PC is in 0xFFF033CC. I don't know why the kernel cannot go more. However, I'm curious that before it dies it doesn't decompress initrd nor install the RAM file system. Is RAM file system installation done after that? I'll appreciate you help. Dong-In ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
