Re: [microblaze-uclinux] problem booting U-boot

I successfully run Petalinux on my Xilinx ML402 board.
That's good to hear
Then I changed my hardware design in order to allow dynamic partial
reconfiguration. My XPS project is now a submodule.
I'm assuming your kernel still boots nad runs on this new configuration?
Then, I boot FS-Boot, I download u-boot.srec file (with FS-BOOT)
successfully. After the download, the “GO(image_start)” instruction (the
last one in FS-BOOT) must run the U-BOOT, but nothing happened, the
microblaze seems to freeze.
You shuld try downloading u-boot directly into memory, and running it
"by itself". To do this you can use the petalinux-jtag-boot command:
Assuming you have completed the SW build, and elected to copy the
resulting images into /tftpboot, you shuold be able to do something like
this (from the HW project directory)
petalinux-jtag-boot -i /tftpboot/u-boot-s.bin -a <start address>
the <start address> parameter can just be the start of physical DDR
memory - u-boot is packaged up inside an auto-relocation header so it
should relocate itself to the correct address in memory.
A few other things to check - look at the u-boot/System.map file to make
sure that u-boot is being linked to run near the *top* of the ML402
system memory.
Also, the ML40X reference designs from Xilinx often were creted so that
the bus address window of the DDR was tweice the size of the actual
physical memory. This allows tricks like unchcached memory shadowing,
but it means that you'ev got to suppply an "parameter main_memory_size="
override in your EDK project MSS file. You should have a look at the
ML401 design distributed with PetaLinux, and make sure you've got
something similar in your design.
I hope this helps,
John
