[U-Boot-Users] U-Boot and S3c2410

[asnua at eircom.net]

(1) I looked back at my errors and I've begun to realise that an Error: a is the correct answer whenever you issue a 'go' to the kernel address as r0/r1 have no chance of being setup correctly i.e. I'm using 'go' as my bootloader.So with that in mind the bootm is the correct approach.

I tried the suggestion from Gerrit and it didn't work fully. However, I don't get the register dump anymore so the load and entry addresses of 0x00000000 certainly has an effect on something. But in the end it just resets to U-boot. See below:

SMDK2410 # tftpboot 30008000 myUbootzimage_comp15.img

U-Boot 1.0.0 (Feb 13 2004 - 15:17:52)

U-Boot code: 33F80000 -> 33F96740  BSS: -> 33F99FA0
DRAM Configuration:

Flash:  1 MB

Out:   serial
Err:   serial
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

(2) Gerrit....Are you also using the S3C2410? 

(3) So why isn't it booting. Or more correctly why is it resetting after it issues the 'Starting kernel ...' message!!
Am I missing some bootarguments?

(4) I've looked at the VIVI  bootloader (from SAMSUNG) and I can see a 'mach-type' parameter which can be edited from the monitor interface. I forced it to 100 (from 193) to get MIZI to fail in the same way with an 'Error :a'. Does U-Boot have a similar parameter ?

Thanks again,
Dave
