[U-Boot] Default base for numbers

[U-Boot] Default base for numbers

[Alexander Holler]

Hello,

I've stumbled over the fact that the length parameter for sha1sum uses 
16 as default base, which I found a bit confusing.

E.g.
-------------------------
U-Boot>> tftp $loadaddr uImage
...
done
Bytes transferred = 1976384 (1e2840 hex)
U-Boot>> sha1sum $loadaddr 1976384
SHA1 for 00800000 ... 02176383 ==> 8d9cc7b167b6d1471d73d46cfc3b374091de88a6
U-Boot>> sha1sum $loadaddr 0x1e2840
SHA1 for 00800000 ... 009e283f ==> fde54f7409c785b7929d36624f77f71abd30282a
-------------------------
(The second one is correct)

Is the base 16 as default for numbers common for commands in u-boot or 
is that just a problem of md5sum and sha1sum?

Regards,

Alexander

Read the documentation.

With very few exceptions all commands use base 16 input.  I recommend
you start reading the manual.

Thanks for the pointer, if someone else is interested, it is described 
in chapter 5.9. U-Boot Command Line Interface. Easy to find. ;)

[U-Boot] Uboot can't start kernel after change from version 2009.01 to 2010.09

[Maik Hänig]

Hi,


I change my uboot version and after it the uboot don't starts the same 
linux kernel:

## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 10060000 ...
    Image Name:   Linux Kernel
    Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
    Data Size:    1178673 Bytes = 1.1 MiB
    Load Address: 20008000
    Entry Point:  20008000
    Verifying Checksum ... OK
    Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK

Starting kernel ...

*****LOG END*****


It's a board simular to the at91rm9200dk. I start the kernel with

bootcmd2=setenv bootargs root=/dev/mtdblock9 rootfstype=squashfs 
ETHADDR=$(ethaddr) RUNNING=$(runningimage) CFGFS=mtdblock10;bootm 0x30060000

run bootcmd2

Can anybody give me a hint where I had to search for the error?

First, I don't understand why those two addresses are not the same.

Then, are you sure your "bootcmd2" ist really what you think it is?
Try a "printenv" and see whats really there.

Should you not have a "console=xxx" in your kernel parameters?

Besides once "Starting kernel ..." shows, u-boot is about to give control
to the kernel, all future output would be from the kernel itself, probably
needing a sane "console=xxx" parameter.

Dear Reinhard,

sorry I copied the wrong log:

I have to kernel Images in flash. The bootcmd is copied from printenv. 
With the uboot version 2009.01 it works well. Is it nessesary to set a 
console parameter in the bootcmd in uboot version 2010.09?

[U-Boot] Uboot can't start kernel after change from version 2009.01 to 2010.09

[Maik Hänig]

Dear Reinhard Meyer,

I tried it with:

setenv bootargs root=/dev/mtdblock9 rootfstype=jffs2 console=ttyS4 
ETHADDR=$(ethaddr) RUNNING=$(runningimage) CFGFS=mtdblock10;bootm 0x30060000

but nothing the error is still there. The console is set in the board 
init of the linux kernel.

I changed only the uboot verion. The linux kernel and the rootfilesystem 
are the same.

I guess you have a board with specific kernel and specific u-boot. So
maybe the machtype does not match?

Yes. Where can I found the mach type in uboot source?

thanks, you was right it was a mach-type problem. I had set the wrong 
mach-type in my board init.

The problem with the uboot version 2010.12 hasn't changed.

Ok, you use 2010.09. This was last release before relocate changes.
Therefore it has no connection with the relocation stuff.

We don't know your configuration. What tells your working setup in
kernel log messages about 'Command line'? -> /proc/cmdline

What is your board exactly? Is it currently in official u-boot or do you
have another tree?
at91rm9200dk is most likely broken with current u-boot (2010.12) and
will be removed for 2011.03. So if you have a at91rm9200dk at hand
please try to get the current u-boot working with that board and provide
patches. You may see my patches for at91rm9200ek which at least make
at91rm9200ek boot from SDRAM when setup correctly with an jtag (->
booting with at91bootstrab should also work but is untested).

sorry I didn't want do this. I wanted to give some more information.

> Ok, you use 2010.09. This was last release before relocate changes.

yes I. I tried to make a patch for 2010.12 but the uboot don't starts so 
I tried in the first step the version before. It is a similar board to 
the at91rm9200dk. It hangs in the low level_init file. But I have only a 
keil jtag debugger and couldn't debug it. or is there any possibility to 
use it with the gdb?

I found the problem in the board.c of the arm architecture. But can't 
see why. Line 303 is reached but line 312 not. Also line 306 is not 
reached. I don't know why, maybe you can give me a hint?

I think if the problem is found the problem with the at91rm9200dk is 
also found.

I only give the MAC and the running image in the cmdline. I think the 
problem must be in the uboot.

It isn't in official u-boot tree. You can have a look in the patch.
