Hi Navin,
        What is the value you have given to TEXT_BASE in board/pxa255_idp/config.mk

Amit

Yes. I suggest to start with 0x80000000 since this leaves the first 2 GB for
SDRAM.

Why is this? Which "Board Memory Map" are you referring to?

Whats the problems with using 0x80000000 here?

-- Hi all,

I am new to this list, I planned port u-boot on my board(pxa255),
followed the procedure in README and i am able to compile the uboot.

I loaded the image on board. The messages i got when i boot the board
are

-------------------------------------------------------------
U-Boot 0.4.5 (Jun 16 2008 - 12:24:00)

Bank #2: a8000000  0 kB
Bank #3: ac000000  0 kB

and it stops at that point. Please give me an hint where i am making the
mistake.

Subject: [U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] cfi-flash: Fix problem in
        flash_toggle(), busy was not detected reliably
To: u-boot-users at lists.sourceforge.net
Message-ID: <1213605821-22502-1-git-send-email-sr at denx.de>

This patch simplifies flash_toggle() (AMD commandset), which is used to
detect if a FLASH device is still busy with erase/program operations. On
800MHz Canyonlands/Glacier boards (460EX/GT) the current implementation
did not detect the busy state reliably, resulting in non erased sectors
etc. This patch now simplifies this function by "just" comparing the
complete data-word instead of ANDing it with the command-word (0x40)
before the compatison. It is done the same way in the Linux implementation
chip_ready() in cfi_cmdset_0002.c.

I have to admit that I don't really understand *why* this simplified version
fixes this problem. Does anybody else have some ideas on this?

BTW: I'll leave for a short trip in a few hours. So please don't expect any
further mails from me till Thursday this week.

Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Antonio

I am not responsible for this part of U-BOOT but your patch contain coding style

It is based on the nand boot support that existed for some 4xx boards.

The code is going to be made available in someway sometime but I do not
think that anyone will ever try to merge it into the mainline.

Maybe I will have some time between project to port the stuff over to
the ads5121 board but it's not going to be in near time.

You can take a source code of r2d board into account.

Hi,  all.

I want to use MIPS archtechtute on Qemu.
I compiled qemu_mips and read doc/README.qemu_mips and was going
to work it, but U-boot boot stopped.
Is this right behavior?

Please give me advice to work a qemu_mips image on Qemu.

Hi Nobuhiro;

Thanks for your support.

I am not able to see the /board/r2dplus/* in uboot directory stucture.
Can you please send me the link for this board specific source code.

Thanks in Advance
