Dear Thomas,
is the GTH board still actively being maintained, or what exactly is
it's state?
I'm trying to clean up a thing or two and ran into a few strange
things:
"common/env_common.c" has this:
230 #if defined(CONFIG_GTH) || defined(CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE) /* Environment not changable */
231 puts ("Using default environment\n\n");
232 #else
233 puts ("*** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment\n\n");
234 show_boot_progress (-60);
235 #endif
This looks as if the GTH board had no persistent environment storage;
but when I was tempted to remove the "defined(CONFIG_GTH) ||" part
and add a "#define CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE" to "include/configs/GTH.h"
I see this:
197 #define CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 1
198 #undef CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM
199 #define CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET 0x000E0000
200 #define CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 0x4000 /* Total Size of Environment Sector */
201
202 #define CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE 0x50000 /* see README - env sector total size */
That means that there is actually flash on the GTH board.
Do you agree that we simply remove the "defined(CONFIG_GTH) ||" part
from "common/env_common.c" ?
Then I noticed the CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE = 0x50000 setting. I am sure
that your flash memory cannot have a sector size of 320 KiB - the
0x50000 must be bogus.
Please comment.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
