[U-Boot] How do you print/view avaliable devices?

[dbrazeau]

I am trying to run a standalone program from flash but I keep receiving **
Invalid boot device ** when I attempt to load it into memory.  I think I'm
just using the wrong device number.  I was wondering if there was any way to
print the devices that U-boot can see, so I can figure out dev:part numbers
of my onboard flash and compact flash.

Not understanding a word what you wrote, I needed a grep -r to find the
message you were referring to.  Now it seems that you try some
filesystem access and it does not work. Although I still have no clue if
you use USB, IDE, ATA or whatever...

May you please be so kind to show us what you try to do and what you
would like to see instead?  Actual session transcripts help a lot in
such cases...

Thanks
  Detlev

This is the command I try to execute in the U-boot console:
    fatload xsa 0 0x1000000 /mnt-xsa/someprogram.img

output:
    ** Invalid boot device **

Do you pay for every character you send, or why are you so very
restrictive in providing more information to your problem?  Telling us
on what platform you work, which U-Boot version etc. would go *a long
way* in putting us into a better position to help you.

As "git grep xsa" yields no output I'm pretty sure that you try to do
something which is not supported - at least in mainline.

What device exactly do you try to access?

Cheers
  Detlev

[U-Boot] How do you print/view avaliable devices?

[dbrazeau]

I working on the Katmai board.  I'm trying to run a program in the 16MB boot
flash.  The user manual states the U-boot command to load Kozio diagnostics
program is:
=> fatload xsa 0x1000000 /mnt-xsa/kdiags.katmai.img
=> bootm 0x1000000

This doesn't work as it does not define a device number, so I tried adding
the device number with no luck.  I'm using U-boot version 2009.06-rc1. 
Thanks.

[U-Boot] How do you print/view avaliable devices?

That's not boot flash but most likely a CompactFlash connected via the 
SystemACE. You should use "ace" instead of "xsa" here. Perhaps this will work.

[dbrazeau]

I actually tried used ace as well, since I saw it being used in some of the
environment variables.  Unfortunately that didn't work either, but had a
different error.

fatload ace 0 0x1000000 /mnt-xsa/kdiags.katmai.img
reading /mnt-xsa/kdiags.katmai.img

** Unable to read "/mnt-xsa/kdiags.katmai.img" from ace 0:1 **

This error made it sound like the file wasn't even in the flash so id did an
fatls

fatls ace 0 /
            mnt-xsa/

0 file(s), 1 dir(s)

=> fatls ace 0 /mnt-xsa/
            ./
            ../
  1378602   kernel.img
 19783883   ramdisk.img

2 file(s), 2 dir(s)

Yep, not even there.  

Now I tried transferring the program image via tftp a running it but it
fails with an illegal instruction. Here is the output:

tftp 0x100000 kdiags.katmai.img

I have also tried "go 0x100004" but that didn't work either.  Am I doing
something wrong? Any Ideas?  Thanks for you help.

Right. I have to admit that I really don;t understand why you wnt into
such adventures as trying to use a phantasy device name (xsa) after
verifying that the file you were looking for was not even present on
the CompactFlash card you are using.

So this works perfectly fine.

Well, the Kozio diagnostics software is aproprietary package, and if
you cannot find out how it's working from the documentation provided
by Kozio you should please contacxt Kozio support.

As mentioned before, it's a closed-source  proprietary  tool  and  we
have zero information about how to run it.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
