Re: [microblaze-uclinux] mb_vanilla can't run kernel image

[Alfred Grünewald <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John and Aaron,

I was listening your last weeks conversation and I also tested Johns
image.bin on my Memec Board DS-BD-V2MB1000 Rev. 3A and had  exactly the same
result Aaron described.

No change at all. I used MBvanilla 6.1b from 2004 03 15.

ISE 6.103i  (Service pack 3) EDK 6.1.2 (Service Pack2)

Verified, all correct

I will do.

Some thougths to the problem:

1. If its a hardware problem, it must be either in the ethernet part or in
the extension of the DDR memory to 32 MB, because on my board mbvanilla_ddr
is running very stable without any problem. And isen't it unlikely that
Aaron's and my board have the same failure?

2. There must be also a difference in the images, because Johns image is
running much further(crashes later) than my or Aarons.

3. In the bootlog I see now BogoMIPS of 33, which is factor 10 more than I
had with mbvanilla_ddr, is this correct?

Cheers

Alfred
