[U-Boot] DRAM error when enable #define CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN

[U-Boot] DRAM error when enable #define CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN

[Tommy Agustianto]

for enabling splash screen on my board (mpx8349) I enabled
the splash screen config in file configuration.

the binary was succesfully flashed to the board
but when I start the uboot, I got this message :

U-Boot 2009.01-dirty (Jun 09 2010 - 10:19:28) MPC83XX

Reset Status:

CPU:?? e300c1, MPC8349EA, Rev: 3.0 at 396 MHz, CSB: 264 MHz
Board: MPX8349
PCI1:? 32 bit, 33 MHz
SRAM:?? 1 MB
I2C:?? ready
DRAM:? *** failed ***
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###


and I'd like to know, what the meaning of 'dirty' on the U-Boot title.
what more that I must configure to enabling splash screen or bitmap support?
like memory init..etc..


Thanks

Hi Tommy,

Hm, what board is that exactly?  I cannot find a reference to "mpx8349"
in current code nor does "git grep MPX8349" yield any output.  Is it
possible that you use a non-mainline U-Boot tree?

Check tools/setlocalversion.  Basically -dirty is appended when git
tells us that we have uncommitted changes in the local tree.  In essence
this tells us developers that the version you use is modified with
respect to the version 2009.01 that we know.

It seems non-obvious that the error stems from the SPLASH_SCREEN option.
Are you sure that the board works correct without this option?  A good
starting point would be to look into the changes against the mainline
U-Boot code ;)

Cheers
