[U-Boot] Problems with all boot-possibilties

[David Pauli]

Hey guys,

I have a Freescale MPC8313E and want to boot with u.-boot 1.3.0 (there is no
newer version avaiable, see also other thread). There are 3 possibilities
documented, how to boot. Nothing works:

1. NFS file system:
**********************
The first, easiest possibility to boot and test the image and kernel is the
NFS-boot. The environment is set correctly (I hope):

# ipaddr: 10.193.20.184
# eth1addr: 00:E0:0C:00:7E:21
# serverip: 10.193.20.61
# gatewayip: 10.193.20.254
# bootargs: root=/dev/nfs rw
nfsroot=10.193.20.61:/tftpboot/10.193.20.184ip=10.193.20.184:10
.193.20.61:10.193.20.254:255.255.255.0:mpc8313erdb:eth1:off panic=1
console=ttyS0,115200

The NFS-server is running on 10.193.20.61, IP of the board is 10.193.20.184.

I have shutdown the firewall, but opened the needed ports too
(875,32803,32769,892,662,2020) for UDP and TCP.

In /etc/exports, the NFS is allowed to enter the folder:

# /tftpboot/10.193.20.184
10.193.20.184/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,asynch)

SELinux is deactivated, hosts.deny is empty,

If i started the transmission via TFTP, everything is correct:
# tftp 200000 /uImage
# tftp 400000 /mpc8313erdb.dtb
# bootm 200000 - 400000

The result:

# (...)
# Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 10.193.20.61
# PHY: 0:01 - Link is Up - 1000/Full
# rpcbind: server 10.193.20.61 not responding, timed out
# Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default
# Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 10.193.20.61
# rpcbind: server 10.193.20.61 not responding, timed out
# Root-NFS: Unable to get mountd port number from server, using default
# mount: server 0.0.0.16 not responding, timed out
# Root.NFS: Server returned error -5 while mounting /tftpboot/10.193.20.184
# (...)

So, something went wrong.

2. and 3. Ramdisk / JFFS2
*******************************
Both possibilities need more than 8 MB on bootable flash memory. We only
have 8 MB.

So, is it possible to boot from SD with this old version of u-boot? Or can i
decrease the image with packing? Is there another way to make it?

So long, David

Version 1.3.0 is only a month away from celebrating its 4th birthday and it is highly unlikely that anyone here has the inclination to support it.  

Having had a look in the boards.cfg file in the current git repository there are several MPC8313ERDB based configurations and I have a much later version of u-boot on my MPC8313ERDB board and when I have some time free I will upgrade to the 2011.09 version when it is released.

You mean this one, where it was pointed out that you should just build
the current source tree?

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-September/101918.html

If you want a BSP with up-to-date binary images, or support for what
Freescale gave you, talk to support at freescale.com.

This is Linux, not U-Boot.
