Hi, I'm trying to achieve starting of U-Boot from L2 cache memory after downloading from SD card. The board is P2020RDB-like, however it contains only 512MB of memory. Because we suspect, that there may be problems with DDR memory, we wanted at least to get U-Boot starting from L2 cache configured as SRAM.
Finally I got the U-boot starting and displaying the first messages via UART: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv U-Boot 2011.09-01153-gdca61f0-dirty (Nov 28 2011 - 15:35:03) CPU0: P2020E, Version: 2.0, (0x80ea0020) Core: E500, Version: 5.0, (0x80211050) Clock Configuration: CPU0:1200 MHz, CPU1:1200 MHz, CCB:600 MHz, DDR:333.333 MHz (666.667 MT/s data rate) (Asynchronous), LBC:37.500 MHz L1: D-cache 32 kB enabled I-cache 32 kB enabled Board: P2020RDB RevD I2C: ready SPI: ready DRAM: Configuring DDR for 666.667 MT/s data rate 1 GiB (DDR2, 64-bit, CL=5, ECC off) NOR Flash Bank : Primary SD/MMC : 4-bit Mode eSPI : Enabled Flash: 16 MiB L2: 512 KB enabled NAND: 32 MiB MMC: FSL_ESDHC: 0 Data Read Failed in PIO Mode. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ To achieve that I had to withdraw the patch described in: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-March/088279.html I also had to change the CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE in P1_P2_RDB.h : 64,65c64,65 < #define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0xf8f80000 < #define CONFIG_RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS 0xf8fffffc --- > #define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x11000000 > #define CONFIG_RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS 0x1107fffc 70,71c70,71 < #define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0xf8f80000 < #define CONFIG_RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS 0xf8fffffc --- > #define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x11000000 > #define CONFIG_RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS 0x1107fffc The u-boot was compiled with make P2020RDB_SDCARD_config make The config for boot_format was: 40:424f4f54 44:00000000 48:00080000 4c:00000000 50:00001000 54:00000000 58:f8f80000 5c:00000000 60:f8fff000 64:00000000 68:00000006 80:ff720100 84:f8f80000 88:ff720e44 8c:0000000c 90:ff720000 94:80010000 98:ff72e40c 9c:00000040 a0:40000001 a4:00000100 a8:80000001 ac:80000001 It seems that the U-Boot somehow misconfigures the SD controller. The first part of U-Boot is loading correctly and the initial messages are displayed, but when it tries to continue downloading, it displays the "Data Read Failed in PIO Mode." and hangs. I will appreciate any further pointers... -- TIA & Regards, Wojciech M.
