Linux booting problems in the IBM Bubinga Board

Linux booting problems in the IBM Bubinga Board

[Nivedita Pitre]

I am using U-boot to boot linux kernel on the IBM Bubinga (405EP board). Using kernel version 2.6.7, which has a default config file for this board. Changed the board info structure to match u-boot's board information structure. Using the mkimage utility in u-boot to create a uImage, which I am downloading via tftpserver to u-boot. Uboot recognizes this image, and jumps into the kernel, after which the system hangs. The last message I see is uncompressing kernel -- OK. I read the manual for u-boot, which suggests modifying the board information structure, and I did that, still have the same problem. After this, I turned on kernel hacking in the config, the CONFIG_SERIAL_TEXT_DEBUG on. This allows me to see some progress on the serial port, the ppc_mach_dep calls output some messages. This tells me that code reaches in start_kernel, however, after console_init, the serial port dies. I assume this is because we initialize the serial port, and turn off early debug. I commented o
 u!
t this part, and enabled early debug messages to continue throughout the start_kernel routine. Also added my own debug messages. So far as I can see, the code goes through till the end of start_kernel without hanging. This makes me think this is a serial port problem in the kernel, but I cannot think what it is. I have configured the UART_TTYSO, SERIAL_CONSOLE, and 8250 drivers in the .config file, and so far as I can see, all the relevant .o files are created, so these drivers are getting compiled. Does anyone have any suggestions for debugging. I am setting up BDI200 to debug this problem. Let me know if there is something else that I am not doing right.

Thanks.

Did you pass some "console=..." boot argument?

How to remove JFFS2 'Making dirty' display on RPXlite DW?

[Song Sam]

Hi,

When creating a JFFS2 filesytem with DENX SELF ramdisk
as follows,the target displayed some wired
message,what would be problem be?

=====================================================

After unpacking SELF,I use the following command to
create a jffs2 filesystem:

eraseall /dev/mtd3

mkfs.jffs2 -r /tmp/tmp -e 0x10000 -o image.jffs2 -b

dd if=image.jffs2 of=/dev/mtd3 bs=256k

mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /mnt

Hello Shanghai Univ.
Hi Everybody!

---------------------------------------------

The 'Making dirty' display took up about 5 seconds.I
need to remove them.

Thanks for any input!

What is the block size you specified when you do a mkfs.jffs2?

It has to match with your flash erase block size.  Care should be taken if
you have paralle banks.

I'm not sure this is your problem but it is a problem I ran into.

[Mark Chambers]

BTW, I've been able to skip a step by just:

mkfs.jffs2  -o /dev/mtd3

I think your problem is a mis-match in block size.

It would be cute if someone would make that work as expected -- get the
right blocksize, erase and prepare the remainder of the device, etc.

We haven't done it yet though.

Well, I've done it.  Dumb luck?  eraseall, then the command as shown, but I
don't remember the rest of the options.
I was just playing with jffs2 to compare performance.  I know I got a
mountable, bootable, read/write-able file system,
but wasn't extensively tested.  Actually, I did a fair amount of add/deletes
in order to guage mount time slowdown...

Yeah -- that should work as well as just making an image with the same
options, then writing it. But it would be nicer if it'd do the eraseall,
and interrogate the device to find its characteristics.

Please don't top-post.

Looks like you should have said '-e 256KiB' or '-e 0x40000' instead.

After taking your advice,the JFFS2 complaint
disappeared.The command I tested is as follows,it
worked fine:

eraseall /dev/mtd3

mkfs.jffs2 -r /tmp/tmp -e 0x40000 -o /dev/mtd3 -b

Thanks for you all.

Next,I will take Wolfgang's advice on decreasing boot
time to create an ext2+mini_fo filesystem based on MTD
 to get a faster boot process.By now the boot time of
my target is 18-20
seconds(48MHZ[CORE]+24MHZ[BUS]+uncompressed
kernel+JFFS2).

Best regards,

Sam

The JFFS2 code in the 2.6 kernel can give about an order of magnitude
improvement in mount time. It's a lot less naïve than the 2.4 code.

Good hints.But 2.6 cannot boot on 8xx via NFS by
now.How can I make a JFFS2?Beats me.Anyway,I will try
it to see how far I would go ...

Thanks

Unfortunately v2.6 does not seem to be working properly on m8xx yet.
