Please do yourself a favour and read some docs and FAQ's first.  With
a  low mapping ogf the IMMR like 0x00f00000 you will never be able to
run Linux.

And as mentioned before: the whole memory map is just software. If  it
doesn't fit your needs just change it.

Then CHANGE it! It's just a few bits in some registers.

This is not a logical choice, but just another error.

Please forget it. Just fix your memory map.

Why don't you have a Linux partition installed so you can be  working
