[U-Boot-Users] Booting from 4MB flash on Walnut derived board

[Brian S. Park]

Hi all,
I have custom board built based on IBM walnut demo board.
It worked well when I was using 512KB flash. Since I want to burn all my 
application on the flash, I installed 4MB flash and u-boot no longer works.

According to README file, I should set CFG_FLASH_BASE, CFG_MONITOR_BASE and 
TEXT_BASE to the beginning of the flash. When I did this, the processor was 
not able to pick up the instruction on the beginning of the flash. Probably 
because the EBC is not configured to access 4MB of flash when it boots up.

Is there a way to make it come up with 4MB of flash? I'm using u-Boot 0.3.0

I tried changing the CFG_FLASH_BASE only but I get bus error when u-Boot 
tries to access the flash. I did setup pb0cr so that it can access 4MB 
address space.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.
