[U-Boot-Users] MCF5271 Port.

[adarsh babu]

I am new to U-Boot. I downloaded u-boot-1.1.6 and plan
to use the same on the MCF5271 EVB. My host system has
Red Hat 6.

I followed the instructions provided in the readme and
I got the following result

Sounds as if you have a favour for old code. Be aware  that  problems
may be lurking in that corner.

Seems your toolchain is not working. Try another one.

As Wolfgang says, old toolchains will do this.  When trying to compile a recent
checkout using the 20010318 Snapgear toolchain, I got the same error.  When I
upgraded to the 20060615 release, it worked.

Also note that someone recently had a different problem with compiling the 5271
port using the 20060615 toolchain.  Here's a link to his post and someone's
reply on how to fix it:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.motorola.microcontrollers.coldfire/7212.
I haven't looked at the issue yet.  If you (or anyone) gets a chance, it'd be
helpful to know what the issue is and if this is a real fix or just a
workaround.

Hi Zachary,

Well thanks a lot. The 20060615 tool chain along with the suggestion in the 
link that you sent me did the trick. But now I face a different problem. I did 
get a neat build and the u-boot.bin file. I flashed the same onto the EVB. But 
i can't get a u-boot prompt on Minicom. Its just blank and nothing else. I 
opened the Srec file and compared it with the Srec file I got for MCF5272 with 
u-boot1.1.2 and seemed pretty ok. Do I have to do something to get it on the 
console ? is there any other modifications that i need to do other than make 
M5271EVB_config and make ??? 

Please help me out.

Regards,
Adarsh.

Unfortunately I've never tried u-boot on the M5271EVB.  I only added
support for the R5200 (a board we did for a customer).  According to the
Changelog file for u-boot, Marian Balakowicz <m8@semihalf.com> did the
M5271EVB port.  That information really should be in the MAINTAINERS
file, but it doesn't seem to be.

I guess I'd say start with making sure there aren't any jumpers or
switches on the M5271EVB that can change chip selects or anything like
that.  Another possibility would be that something broke.  You could try
checking out commit 78b123cd69d485887f33ebd33ba1f9b27f8e6916, where
M5271EVB support was first entered in.

Failing that you'll probably have to start tracing execution, trying to
find out where it is failing.

Hello Adarsh,

There have been changes to cpu/mcf52x2/start.S since the addition of 
M5271EVB that broke things for this target - with one of the symptoms 
being missing console output. This have been fixed recently (commit 
daa6e418bcc0c717752e8de939c213c790286096), so you could try to (1) 
follow Zachary's suggestion and use sources as of commit 
78b123cd69d485887f33ebd33ba1f9b27f8e6916, or (2) use recent sources 
(daa6e418bcc0c717752e8de939c213c790286096 and later).

HTH,
Bartlomiej

Hi Bartlomiej,

Thanks for the suggestion. I have got the U-boot up for the EVB. I have 
started to customize U-boot for my board. I have taken the M5271 as an example 
to develop files for the custom board. There isn't a "flash.c" for the 
M5271evb in "board/m5271evb". So does the m5271evb port use the "flash.c" 
present in the common folder ?   

Regards,
Adarsh.

No, it uses the CFI flash driver as all boards  with  CFI  conformant
flash devices should do.

Hi,

I created files for the custom board with M5271EVB as the example. I modified 
the dram init to support the SDRAM we have on the board. I also made changes 
to the flash base address and the associated to gel with our memory map. when 
I flashed the u-boot.bin file that I got, the following turned up on the 
console.

U-Boot 1.2.0 (Feb 13 2007 - 20:15:12)

CPU:   Freescale Coldfire MCF5271 at 100 MHz
Board: Freescale M5271EVB
DRAM:  16 MB
FLASH:

The board hung after "FLASH:". The flash on our board is SST39VF6401. From the 
Flash.h file I learn that SSTxF6401 has been considered and cfi_driver.c will 
check the CFI conformant device. Can you please suggest the possible areas 
that I should check or have neglected.

Regards,
Adarsh.

One more thing: I just came across the following in the DULG (5.6. 
Initialization), seems related:

"If you are running Linux on your host system we recommend either kermit 
or cu as terminal emulation programs. Do not use minicom, since this has 
caused problems for many users, especially for software download over 
the serial port."
