Hanging in Init

[Jan Roelens]

You can't run a dynamically linked program unless you fix glibc regarding the cache line size.
The 860 has a cache line size of 16 bytes instead of 32 bytes.

Since you use a distribution, I suppose your glibc has been patched.


As far as IMMR is concerned:
1. The boot program sets up the immr register with the start address of the immr region.
2. That start address can be anything, as long as it does not cause your immr region
to overlap any other memory regions (dram, flash,, etc)
3. The kernel assigns a mmu page for the immr region. Some kernels read the immr register to find the address, others use a symbol. Even if they read the immr register, there may be other places in the kernel , which use the symbol (IMAP_ADDR e.g.).
That symbol MUST be set to the same value as the value in the immr register! E.g include/asm/tqm8xx.h defines such a symbol.
