I was able to get the image to boot without the flash - I used dow -data
as I don't have download cable support on my linux machine (no root). I
use XMD/iMPACT under windows for the downloading. Works just fine!
Cheers, and thanks for the help!
Oh, and there should be a ML505 proof of concept soon too - the list of
supported platforms is growing ;)
Cheers
John

Hi John,

I've been playing with petalinux on my new ml501 (last time I did any
of
this stuff was when the ml401 first came out and there was no option
but
uclinux-autoconfig).
I have to say the petalinux environment and the user guide is
excellent.
Congratulations.
Thanks - I'm glad you like it.
I followed the tutorial, setting up the hardware - a few notable
differences, I'm using EDK 9.1, and the DDR2 controller is now
mch_opb_ddr2 and the flash controller is now mch_opb_emc. I had to
modify the petalinux bsp to include these as valid interfaces for the
main_memory and flash_memory variables.
Yes - this is a known issue and has been updated for the next release.
Another difference (and this may be the key) is the flash seems to be
now 2Mx16 instead of the 2Mx32 in the ml401 tutorial.
Have you enabled DATAWIDTH_MATCHING on the flash interface?
However, I pressed on, and was able to get FS-BOOT working, and when I
downloaed the u-boot srec file, I got the following:
FS-BOOT: Warning image location differ from default boot location.
Image
will not boot automatically after POR.
FS-BOOT: Press 'n' to boot old image.
FS-BOOT: Use new image.
FS-BOOT: Booting image...
SDRAM :
\0x09U-Boot Start:0x5ffc0000
\0x09Malloc Start:0x5ff80000
\0x09Board Info Start:0x5ff7ffd0
\0x09Boot Parameters Start:0x5ff6ffd0
FLASH:
hmm - this is actually u-boot starting up, then dying and throwing you
back to FS-boot (probably via the reset vector)
=================================================
FS-BOOT First Stage Bootloader (c) 2006 PetaLogix
=================================================
FS-BOOT: System initialisation completed.
FS-BOOT: No existing image in FLASH. Starting image download.
FS-BOOT: Waiting for SREC image....
*********
So u-boot was starting (ignore the 0x09 I believe they are tab
characters) - but when it got to the flash stage it balked and
"restarted".
Yes. Not sure why this is, but likely to do with the change of flash
width.
So, on I pressed even further, this time instead using XMD to download
the image.elf (I know this does not have the file system, but I wanted
to see what happened!) And I got this:
[snip]
physmap_auto flash device: 2000000 at 4a000000
physmap_auto probing buswidth 2
Unknown IntelExt Extended Query version 1.4.
gen_probe: No supported Vendor Command Set found
physmap_auto probing buswidth 2
Search for id:(89 8919) interleave(1) type(2)
[snip]
Search for id:(89 01) interleave(2) type(2)
JEDEC: Found no Physically mapped flash device at location zero
So the flash seemed to again cause issues. Is 2x16 supported? Or what
would I need to do to make it work?
2x16 should work - that's the configuration in the Sparta3E reference
designs, for example.
It will be related to the datawidth matching - I'll have to check to
confirm, but I think you want to enable it.
Can you post your auto-config.in?
Also, if I want to bypass the "flash" for now, and download the image
-
I remember I had to download the image.bin - does this still work?
If I did a:
dow -data image.bin <DDR2 BASE ADDRESS> and then did
con <DDR2 BASE ADDRESS>
should this work? (I tried it, and it did not - no output at all)
Yes - that should work. It's a good idea to issue a reset (rst) first,
make sure we have a nice clean machine to boot on.
Or, you can do (from the EDK HW project directory)
petalinux-jtag-boot -i </path/to/image.bin> -a <address>
So petalinux is almost alive on ml501 - any tips would be GREATLY
appreciated!
Let's see you auto-config.in file (and MHS as well).
If we can get this going I'd be happy to add the ML501 as a standard
reference design in PetaLinux.
Thanks,
John
