Linux on dataflash using Olimex sam9L9260 board.

Hi all,

I am trying to load linux from dataflash and having some problem.

I put bootstrap at address 0x0
U-Boot at address 0x8400.

U-Boot was compiled for dataflash, but when I power-up the board I get
the follow messages:

*U-Boot 1.2.0 (Sep 13 2008 - 17:32:34)

U-Boot code: 23F00000 -> 23F28E6C BSS: -> 23F87D14
DRAM: 64 MB
NAND: No NAND device found!!!
No NAND device found!!!
0 MiB
DataFlash:AT45DB161
Nb pages: 4096
Page Size: 528
Size= 2162688 bytes
Logical address: 0xC0000000
Area 0: C0000000 to C0000000 Data
*** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment

In: serial
Out: serial
Err: serial
KS8721 PHY Detected
End of Autonegotiation
### main_loop entered: bootdelay=3

### main_loop: bootcmd=""
U-Boot>*

I know that commands is missing, but I search information about where
and how to put this information.

Please may somebody point me a tutorial, internet link or anyelse
information about that?

Best regards

Paulo

Paulo,
Looks like you have not configured the u-boot so that the u-boot
environment is placed in dataflash.You have to configure u-boot so
that u-boot the u-boot environment variables are also stored in
dataflash along with u-boot.

Paulo please can you send me the bootstrap and u-boot binary you are
using so that I can use them.please i need them urgently.

Hi Vishnu,

I atached the file for you, if it work for you please, let me know.
I am having problem after kernel ends your job and try to execute
/sbin/init in filesystem.
My system hangs after message Freeing init memory: 108K.

My system is all into dataflash, I am using 8MBytes dataflash:
Bootstrap.............addr: 0x000
Environment...........addr: 0x4200
U-Boot................addr: 0x8400
Kernel................addr: 0x42000
Root file system......addr: 0x252000
Regards

Paulo

Hai Paulo,

Please mail the compiled bootstrap and u-boot binaries to my yahoo id
v...@yahoo.co.in. I need them urgently.Please also tell me
how to use samba to fuse the bootstarp and u-boot into dataflash.

Hi Vishnu,

I get the system running, so I want to know if you had a problem with
filesystem, do you?
Did you use initrd?

Paulo
