[U-Boot] [PATCH] mx28evk: Scan only first 512 MB of DRAM to avoid memory wraparound

[U-Boot] [PATCH] mx28evk: Scan only first 512 MB of DRAM to avoid memory wraparound

[Fabio Estevam]

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@freescale.com>

Scan only first 512 MB of DRAM to avoid memory wraparound.

This fixes mx28evk boot and it follows the same idea of commit
19a2066b57 (M28: Scan only first 512 MB of DRAM to avoid memory wraparound)

Thanks, sorry for the breakage.

Acked-by: Marek Vasut <marex@denx.de>

btw. I think Otavio was working on some common config, wasn't he?
btw2. won't there ever be MX28EVK with more than 512MB of DRAM?

Yes, I think Otavio is working on that.

I don't think there will be other revision of mx28evk board.

That'd be so cool ... :)

All right, this approach is valid then. Btw. Fabio, can you verify that you 
don't see any memory aliasing now (just to avoid trouble).

How can I verify this, please?

Actually I think it would be better to define the total size of RAM
for mx28evk as 128MB.

Do you agree?

Try writing some pattern into DRAM at "offset-sizeof(pattern area)" and try 
reading it from "2*offset + sizeof(pattern area)" ... try doing the same for 
4*offset etc.

You might also be able to read data from memory behind what uboot considers as 
detected DRAM which will have the same contents as the detected DRAM etc.

Yes, it's fine with me.

Actually I think this should not be needed.  Such wrap-arounds are
supposed to be detected by get_ram_size(), which should result in
properly sized RAM mappings.

Why is this failing here?

Best regards,
