But that's just the thing, I *do* need this change for the board to boot. CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE is 0x10000000 (this is the base address for the flash memory). Without my patch above, I only get this: ---------- U-Boot 2012.10 (Oct 09 2013 - 02:28:44) DRAM: 64 MiB ---------- I thought this was a known problem with at91rm9200 booting from NOR flash? There's at least one other board that I know of with the same problem (the Artila Matrix-500). > Please see the configuration for eb_cpux9k2 board. This board does boot > from NOR with u-boot 2012.10. Hmm, you are right. This config does boot my card (after I modify it to suit, of course). Besides the different CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, I think the main differences to the at91rm9200ek config that I based my earlier config on are these things: #define CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_SIZE 0x00 /* 0 KBytes */ #define CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_BASE PHYS_FLASH_1 #define CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_SIZE 0x60000 /* 384 KBytes */ None of these are declared in the at91rm9200ek config. Unfortunately, I don't have an AT91RM9200EK card, so I can't test if the problem I ran in to exists for that card as well using the at91rm9200ek config. -- Arvid Brodin | Consultant (Linux) XDIN AB | Knarrarnäsgatan 7 | SE-164 40 Kista | Sweden | xdin.com _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
