Dear All,
I'm trying with buildroot to build the linux-4.4.3 for an iomega 150d
machine mounting the mpc8347E sys.
Due the old U-Boot version is not possible to use the standard uImage, but
it is needed to set the cuImage target (the one embedding the device tree).
I start using the default configuration
arch/powerpc/configs/mpc83xx_defconfig,
and the default device tree mpc834x_mds.
In order to enable the console output during the first linux boot stage I
added the following line at the end of the device tree file:
chosen {
linux,stdout-path = "/soc8349/
<http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/buildroot> serial at 4500";
};
The kernel is compiled and I get the cuImage.mpc834x_mds image.
Then I load it on the machine and execute:
tftp 0x10000000 cuImage.mpc834x_mds
Speed: 1000, full duplex
Using Freescale TSEC0 device
TFTP from server 192.168.178.36; our IP address is 192.168.178.10
Filename 'cuImage.mpc834x_mds'.

But at this point the process crash and the system is reset.
It should be something near the handover between the first kenel boot stage
and the vmlinux start, but I do not have a jtag to proceed the
investigation.
In any case it seems that the execution never entry the vmlinux start
(head_32.S).
I try to add this macro at the begin of the file:

addi r25, r25, \nid
stb r25, 0(r24)
li r25, '\n'
stb r25, 0(r24)
.endm
But I do not see anything in the console.
The problem seems releted to the vmlinux call in arc/powerpc/boot/main.c
kentry = (kernel_entry_t) vmlinux.addr;
Any suggestion?
Bye.

Have you tried inserting a loop to wait until the transmitter is empty before
sending a character?

Check (with serial output) that flow control reaches the very end of the
bootwrapper before it jumps to Linux. Use the same code that you use in
head.S (with loop added in both cases). Print the entry address, and some
bytes loaded from that address to confirm the image is there. Check that the
BATs are set up correctly, etc.
