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

[Thomas Schäfer]

Hi Brian,

we are using a custom board based on IBM walnut with 8 MB flash. The
following configuration settings work for us:

TEXT_BASE = 0xFFF80000

#define CFG_SDRAM_BASE		0x00000000
#define CFG_FLASH_BASE		0xFF800000
#define CFG_MONITOR_BASE	0xFFF80000
/* the last two sectors for the bootloader */
#define CFG_MONITOR_LEN		(256 * 1024)	/* Reserve 256 kB for Monitor	*/
#define CFG_MALLOC_LEN		(128 * 1024)	/* Reserve 128 kB for malloc()	*/

#define FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM	CFG_FLASH_BASE  /* FLASH bank #0	*/

u-boot must be located in the upper part of the flash because the jump
instruction after reset must be within 2MB. CFG_FLASH_CFI is not set in our
configuration.

Best regards,

Thomas Schäfer
