my cpu is 860T, using bootm command boot a linux kernel image, the following message print by smc1:
bootm 300000
## Booting image at 00300000 ...
Image Name: Linux-2.6.20.14
Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
Data Size: 1081591 Bytes = 1 MB
Load Address: 00100000
Entry Point: 00100000
Verifying Checksum ... OK
Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
## Current stack ends at 0x01D5DB10 => set upper limit to 0x00800000
No initrd
## Transferring control to Linux (at address 00100000) ...
then, the program has no response.
i debug it througth BDM, in u-boot function "do_bootm_linux", execute at "kernel = (void (*)(bd_t *, ulong, ulong, ulong, ulong))hdr->ih_ep", the program branch to address "0x00000000", the code is shown as following:
00000000 mr r31,r3
00000004 mr r30,r4
00000008 mr r29,r5
0000000C mr r28,r6
00000010 mr r27,r7
00000014 bl 0x000020C8
00000018 mfmsr r0
0000001C ori r0,r0,0x30
00000020 mtspr SRR1,r0
00000024 lis r0,0xC0002004 at h
00000028 ori r0,r0,0xC0002004 at l
0000002C mtspr SRR0,r0
00000030 rfi
my questions are:
1. Is the code "kernel = (void (*)(bd_t *, ulong, ulong, ulong, ulong))hdr->ih_ep" branch right?
2. What's the expected code after "kernel = (void (*)(bd_t *, ulong, ulong, ulong, ulong))hdr->ih_ep"?
3. When the kernel run to the "boot/simple/head.s"?
thanks a lot
