Hi Friends,

I am 1st time user of u-boot.
I am to bring up arm-based board. i.e my target board is going to be 
based on ARM architecture/

I follwed the following steps.
1,I installed precompiled tool chain on my machine
2,Built / compile linux kernel.
3,IBuilt / compile u-boot.

Now what should be the next step?

Is there any document availble to tell me the exact procedure for this.

I am on linux -redhat -enterprise machine. kernel version 2.6


I would appreciate your rely.

Regards
Harsh

Run U-Boot and then run Linux.

Sure, the U-Boot sources contain a very nice README, and for more
Information you can take a look at the DULG:

There are at least two problems:

1) You did not use mkimage to create an U-Boot image.

2) You did not read the documentation.

It is possible, but you'll have  to  port  U-Boot  to  your  platform
first,  This  requires  full  hardware  documentation  and  excellent
knowhow of  your  processor,  chip  set  and  mainboard.  And  decent
hardware debug tools.

I can state that I would not be able to do that job.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

I believe you find life such a problem because you  think  there  are
the  good  people  and the bad people. You're wrong, of course. There
are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are  on  oppo-
site sides.                      - Terry Pratchett, _Guards! Guards!_

Hi.

I'm starting to use ELDK to port U-boot for my board ...
My board is similar at TQM850L and I whant to know what files I have to change to have success?
Thanks!

I already answered your message in private mail. I  will  not  repeat
this answer.

I am new to this type of mailing list. Please let me know if I step out of bounds.

Need help with configuring u-boot for our MPC8245.

Processor has been running for a year with VxWorks. Therefore we know it works.

Setup
1) VisionProbe with configuration files.
2) We can erase flash and download new programs.
3) I know the BDI2000 is popular but we own the VisionProbe.
4) Processor
        266MHZ Processor
        66 MHZ buss
        PCI has an LSI53C1010R on it.
        8MByte flash  64bit buss (AM29F160xB) 0xFF80_0000 to 0xFFFF_FFFF
        256MB SRAM 64bit buss 0x0000_0000 to 0x1000_0000-1 (0x0FFF_FFFF)
        One serial port works.

To date here is what I have done.
1) Installed Eldk. I am able to compile any of the specific boards. 
2) Choose as a starting point: CPC45.h  This was because they discussed using 64bit buss for Flash
3) Edited the CPC45.h file, attempting to make appropriate changes.
4)  Ran make CPC45_config
5) Ran make
6) Downloaded the files to our board.
    At 0xfff0_0100  I get the U-boot id message
    Execution seems to start at 0xfff0_0100.
7) Connect Hypertermial to our serial port.
     I get output but only funny characters. Looks like a baud rate problem but I changed baud rates from 2400 to 57800 and still get funny chcracters.

This is where I am. We are still novices at this. We could be changing code for a long time before we get it right.


What I would like:

1) Any advice. 
2) Anyone willing to configure u-boot for our board? We of course can pay.
3) Insights on how to determine what setup function might be wrong.
4) We do not want to configure the SCSI chip at this time. We will never be use SCSI to boot a disk drive. We will use linux drivers for the chip in question.

Thanks in advance.

Steve Brockway

U-Boot already supports about 20 other boards using  4xx  processors,
so the answer is: yes, you can.
