Need help booting linux on my 8265 boardHello,Mr Pereira

   thanks for your reply.
   I'm sure  IMMR base is the same for both U-boot and Linux. Uboot mapped at 0xfff00000, but I want to know why linux mapped at 0xC0000000 , the uboot say   "## Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000) ...", so KERNELLOAD should be 0xc0000000 or 0x00000000?
    and if I use linux kernel 2.4.20,  CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ should be 0 or 1?


Best Regards
Ming Liu

Hi

Make sure that your IMMR base is the same for both U-boot and Linux. Ensure that they are both mapped above the virtual meomry base (0xC0000000) used by Linux, else you will have problems once ypou start to execute code.

Hi,
  I have problem booting linux on my 8265 board. Both u-boot and ppcboot
run well, but when I boot the linux kernel, the board be dead. At this
time the registers look like to be some default values(use powertap
pro). I try u-boot1.1, ppcboot1.1.5; linux kernel 2.4.4 2.4.18 2.4.20.

(1)about compile kernel
vim Makefile,        arch=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_82xx-
vim arch/ppc/platforms/ads826x.h,      IMAP_ADDR=0x04700000 BCSR=0x04500000

then make mrproper/ make ads826x_config/ make oldconfig/ make dep/ make
pImage (bd info struct is quite same between uboot and linux)

Is there anything I had ignored?

(2)let's see!(I add some "printf" to display values,
"console=ttyS0,9600" is added)
=> bootm ffa00000 ffc00000

   Loading Ramdisk to 03ef4000, end 03f7eab4 ... OK
## Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000) ...

then the board is dead and the LED(FCC link) coruscate . (I have
modified clock calculations for this board so SCC can output message.
it's the reason?) any ideas? thanks a lot!
