[U-Boot-Users] Unable to boot a kernel on a MPC8560

[CORVELLER Mickael]

Hello,

first of all, I am a newbie in embedded linux systems.

I'm trying to boot a board based on a MPC8560 (with a e500 core).

I'm using a RS232 console via a debug module connected to the SCC1 port of 
the 8560.

The boot loader is U-Boot.

It appears that the transfert of the kernel from the host to target is OK 
(I'm using TFTP).

Problems begin when I try to execute the kernel. The system appears to be 
frozen.

I don't know if the board is really frozen or if I have "only" lost the 
console.

I suspect that my error is situated in the load/execution addresses.

I've tried different couples of values : 0/0, 100000/100000, 10000/10000, 
200000/200000, etc...

I've also tried different file format (uImage, zImage.elf, zImage.s ...)

I've tried two distributions : ELINOS and DENX.

I don't know what's happened because I lose the console .

Here is the result of one of my tests :
-> niot 0
Client IP Address (0 for unknown)       = 192.168.001.126 ?
Client address mask (0 for unknown)     = 255.255.255.000 ?
Server IP Address (0 for unknown)       = 192.168.001.127 ?
File Format S(rec)/I(ntel)/B(in)/E(lf)  = B ? e
Boot File Name    (NULL for unknown)    = pimage ? zimage.elf
Boot File Load address                  = 80000 ? 0
Boot File Execution address             = 80000 ? 100000

TFTP parameters :

Server IP Address               192.168.001.127

Boot File Load address          0
Boot File Execution address     100000

Bytes received = 1057082, Bytes loaded = 0

After that, the console is died !

I could use some help in trying to understand what's going on.
