Hi All, I run Linux 2.6.21 (by Grant) on my Avnet Virtex-4 evaluation board (ML403 like). When I load zIinux.elf via jtag to the board it runs properly:
loaded at: 00400000 004F9138 board data at: 004F7120 004F7138 relocated to: 004040B4 004040CC zimage at: 00404E59 004F6EE6 avail ram: 004FA000 01FFFFFF Linux/PPC load: console=ttyUL0,9600 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=129.117.144.113:/opt/eldk41/ppc_4xx,tcp ip=::::virtex4-mirek:eth0:dhcp panic=1 Uncompressing Linux...done. Now booting the kernel [0.000000] Linux version 2.6.21-rc6 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.0.2) #11 Tue Aug 7 13:46:19 EST 2007 [0.000000] Xilinx ML403 Reference System (Virtex-4 FX) . . . . It goes to the successful end. I have build u-boot 1.2.0 with uart lite and temac support. When I am trying to run uImage (build out of zImage) it does not run. The steps I do are as following: 1. I build uImage withing the kernel tree (make uImage) 2. I load via jtag the u-boot 1.2.0 XMD% dow u-boot.elf section, .text: 0x00800000-0x0081513c section, .resetvec: 0x0081513c-0x00815140 section, .rodata: 0x00815140-0x00817ce0 section, .reloc: 0x00817d00-0x00818674 section, .data: 0x00818674-0x00818b08 section, .data.rel: 0x00818b08-0x00818b34 section, .data.rel.local: 0x00818b34-0x00818f6c section, .u_boot_cmd: 0x00818f6c-0x008191dc section, .bss: 0x00819200-0x0081dd04 3. I transfer uImage to the RAM memory of my Avnet board: TFTP from server 129.129.144.113; our IP address is 129.129.144.157 Filename 'uImage'. Load address: 0x1000000 Loading: ################################################################# ################################################################# ################################################################ done Bytes transferred = 991438 (f20ce hex) 4. I am trying to start the kernel => bootm 0x1000000 ## Booting image at 01000000 ... Image Name: Linux-2.6.21-rc6 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 991375 Bytes = 968.1 kB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ... OK Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK After all system hangs I have tried to change the Load Address and Entry Point to 0x400000 (mkimage -a 0x400000 -e 0x400000) but the system hangs like in the first case. my bootargs are: console=ttyUL0,9600 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=129.117.144.113:/opt/eldk41/ppc_4xx,tcp ip=::::virtex4-mirek:eth0:dhcp panic=1 Those bootargs where tested with zImage.elf and seem to be fine. Does somebody has some suggestion? Thank you in advance for any hint on that.
