Hi all,
I am trying to get a linux kernel to build and run on a Cogent CSB272
(IBM PPC 405GP processor) running a U-boot 0.4.0 bootloader. I can tftp
a uImage into ram and it passes check, but when I run bootm it
uncompresses the kernel and hangs after it starts executing the kernel
at address 0x00000000.
I was given a hardhat vmlinux elf file that I can package to a uImage
and run (although it stops at the Calibrating Delay loop... Stage, but
that's another issue). I need to be able to recompile a kernel for the
board and downloaded linuxppc_2_4_devel from mvista. This compiles fine
and produces a new vmlinux. I've started off by using the walnut 405
config file to build the kernel, since they're pretty similar.
Any ideas where to start debugging this? I'm relatively new in embedded
stuff and linux in general, so it might be something simple, but don't
know where to start. Have a BDI2000 but no gdb driver yet, so can't put
in breakpoints etc.
The output I get from u-boot before it hangs up is shown below. There's
no ram disk image built in at the moment or initrd, but I just wan't to
get it off the ground and printing to the console to start.
Many thanks
Stuart
