Trouble "Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000)"

Trouble "Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000)"

[Mikhail Zaturenskiy]

Hello,

I'm trying to load Linux from U-Boot. I am using ELDK 4.2 with U-Boot
2009.03 on an EP88xC rev1.1 board (MPC885 cpu, 64MB RAM, 32MB FLASH).
The linux kernel sources were obtained from instructions at
"http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/LinuxConfiguration#Section_6.1."
and the FDT blob (dtb) was generated from
"linux-2.6-denx/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/ep88xc.dts". Below is my output
from boot to hang:

I'm not quite sure where to go from here to get linux working. Anybody
have any suggestions?

This isn't the denx list; what kernel version is that, and with what 
modifications from mainline?

Note that ep88xc.dts in mainline is intended for use with PlanetCore, which is 
what ships on that board.  You may need to make modifications for it to work 
with u-boot (at the least, the IMMR base is probably different).  This is why 
u-boot should be maintaining its own repository of trees that it passes...

Also, make sure u-boot is properly updating the memory size in the device tree. 
  Can you dump the post-fixup device tree in u-boot?

Kernel is v2.6.30, I'm not yet familiar enough with it to know what's
been modified from mainline, just following instructions.

Hmm, this hasn't occurred to me, thank you for pointing it out.

Not sure, but I'll try to find out if that's possible. It'd certainly
answer a lot of questions...

I don't have access to this board, but have experience with a similar
one (Adder 875), and
I might be able to help out. Scott's right. According to U-Boots
include/configs/EP88x.h,
CONFIG_SYS_IMMR is 0xf0000000, but the Linux the ep88xc.dts is
referring to an IMMR set
to 0xfa200000. Replace every instance of 0xfa20 with 0xf000, and it may wor=
k.

Hi guys, I've been working off your suggestions and here's my update
on where I'm at now.

For reference, attached are my current
"linux-2.6-denx/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/ep88xc.dts" and
"u-boot-2009.03/include/configs/EP88x.h".

I did notice the IMMR discrepancy and as Frank suggested adjusted the
0xfa20xxxx values to 0xf000xxxx in my DTS, though I'm wondering if it
would be better to have just set my CONFIG_SYS_IMMR to 0xfa200000? Not
sure if that would break more than it would fix. Anyways, I have not
noticed any difference in output after changing this in the DTS, but
I'll leave it this way as it seems more correct.

While I have not yet figured out how to dump the post-fixup tree... I
can see that U-Boot doesn't seem to be doing proper fixup because
after manually setting all the DTS fields that U-Boot was supposed to
fill in (clock frequency, RAM start/end, etc.), the kernel seems to be
going through a fairly normal boot sequence. Without me manually
setting those fields, they remain initialized to 0. The only issue is
that no output goes to the console.

Here is my current output.

At this point, my primary goal is to get console output working before
I do anything else. I've tried different "console=x" boot arguments
and I've added the "chosen" section to my DTS, but still no output.
Anyone have suggestions about this? Is something else messed up in my
DTS?

Thanks,
Mikhail Zaturenskiy

Did you try 'root=ttyCPM0,9600'?

Hi Gary

> Did you try 'root=ttyCPM0,9600'?

Gave that a shot just now, doesn't seem to have changed anything other
than that it now says "VFS: Cannot open root device ttyCMP0,9600" or
unknown-block(2,0)." But thanks for the suggestion though.

What exactly was this supposed to do? I thought that the "root=" boot
argument did not play a role in console output of the boot
information.

s/root=/console=/

Alternatively, you can set /chosen/linux,stdout-path to poin to the 
serial node you want to use for the console.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this.

If you look at the bottom of ep88xc.dts that I attached with my
previous post, I added the following:
chosen {
		linux,stdout-path = "/soc@f0000000/cpm@9c0/serial@a80"; // MZ -
added this 'chosen' section
};

However it did not seem to help, unless I did this wrong... still no
console output.

Thanks,
Mikhail

Change "root=" to "console=".

Seems like at that point it begins to redirect output to ttyCPM0 but
still nothing showing on the console...

Check the clock-frequency of the CPM BRG node.  If u-boot isn't setting 
the memory, it's probably not setting this either.

If you're not up to the task of fixing u-boot to fill in the device 
tree, you may want to try cuImage.

I set the CPM BRG "clock-frequency =3D <153609>" (value obtained from
u-boot's 'brginfo' command), set my CPU "clock-frequency =3D
<100000000>" (down from 130000000) to match what u-boot is using, and
used the "console=3DttyCPM0,9600n8" boot arg and I've finally got
console output! Thanks everyone!

I'll still try to figure out how to get u-boot to fill all this in.

Got it... thanks to
"http://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05111.html"

I made sure that CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT and CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP were both
present in "u-boot-2009.03/include/configs/EP88x.h". Then added the
following to the very end of "u-boot-2009.03/board/ep88x/ep88x.c":

#if defined(CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT) && defined(CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP)
void ft_board_setup(void *blob, bd_t *bd)
{
         ft_cpu_setup(blob, bd);
}
#endif /* defined(CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT) && defined(CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP) */

I suppose I could have put this code in w/o the "#if defined..." and
forget about the "CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP" flag since I'm not really
using the "fdt boardsetup" command, but whatever.

As for my device tree, I reverted back to the original version with
nothing filled in and just replaced 0xfa20xxxx with 0xf000xxxx as Gary
suggested earlier.

Once again, thanks to all those who offered suggestions!

Would it be a problem to also dynamically fixup IMMR in the device tree
from U-Boot?

Yes.  It can appear in multiple places in the device tree (for exmaple,
in things like the localbus and pci nodes where we have some IMMR
registers but need ranges to point outside IMMR); this introduces more
dependencies between u-boot and the input dtb than just getting the
address right in the first place.

Ah, I see - the IMMR address is duplicated because the nodes you mention
are not children of "soc", so they cannot reference that parent address
space.

I guess re-arranging the hierarchy is not viable, but maybe we can
include this orthogonal parent-child relation.  For example, could a
"reg-parent" phandle solve this duplication?

Hi Detlev, it would be nice but how do I do this?
