| 11:42.36 | infoclog | i am trying to develop loader.bin and U-boot.bin for AT91rm9200 from a linux-x86 PC. has anyone worked before with U-boot? |
| 12:14.56 | T0mW | infoclog: last bootloader I worked with was Apex |
| 12:22.29 | infoclog | T0mW, which Debugger did u use ? I am using BDI2000 |
| 12:22.45 | T0mW | infoclog: same here |
| 12:23.28 | T0mW | infoclog: current project is s3c2410 (Samsung Arm920) |
| 12:25.01 | infoclog | T0mW, did u use the confuguratrion file from Abatron _ |
| 12:25.14 | infoclog | i am using ATmel ARM920 |
| 12:26.21 | T0mW | infoclog: naw, I had to build my own cfg. It works okay, but I cannot get it to turn off the MMU when I issue a RESET to the BDI2000. :-/ |
| 12:26.31 | infoclog | I have no problem in configuration .. the target and board communicates.. but when I try to load the loader.bin from /tftp it says that '# Cannot open file on host' |
| 12:27.55 | T0mW | well, what do you have in the cfg file for "FILE" ? |
| 12:28.11 | T0mW | FILE apex.bin |
| 12:28.19 | T0mW | FORMAT BIN 0x00000000 |
| 12:28.32 | T0mW | that loads from /var/lib/tftpboot |
| 12:29.32 | infoclog | are u looking in the HOST section ? |
| 12:29.56 | T0mW | [FLASH] |
| 12:30.43 | infoclog | just to help u..i hve a bunch of files frm Abatron ! |
| 12:31.04 | infoclog | if u tell me the name of theo board..i can look for a default configuration file |
| 12:31.10 | T0mW | [FLASH] section FILE is used when you PROGRAM (bdi prompt) |
| 12:31.34 | T0mW | ln2410sbc, little chips |
| 12:32.21 | T0mW | infoclog: the idiots at Ultimate Solutions (USA distributor) are not much help with cfg file stuff. |
| 12:33.23 | infoclog | ok.. wil pass u a zip file.. that i acquired from German distri |
| 12:33.38 | infoclog | i am not sure though if.. the board u mentioned is there. |
| 12:34.04 | T0mW | ok |
| 12:34.46 | T0mW | look in /etc/xinet.d/tftp for the tftp server config. It should say in the server args where the default file directory is. |
| 12:35.02 | T0mW | you load / save to that dir |
| 12:35.13 | infoclog | i configured it to. nothing.. |
| 12:35.20 | infoclog | so it took the default.. /tftpboot. |
| 12:35.32 | T0mW | set server_args to "-s /var/lib/tftpboot" |
| 12:35.58 | T0mW | heh, "disable = no" |
| 12:36.33 | infoclog | i think..my cfg file is faulty.. and not..the tftp configuration |
| 12:36.46 | infoclog | let me show u the cfg file. |
| 12:36.56 | infoclog | can u name any paste bin |
| 12:37.03 | T0mW | infoclog: use http://rafb.net/paste/ and paste it there |
| 12:38.55 | infoclog | http://rafb.net/paste/results/3fwR7g86.html |
| 12:39.25 | T0mW | infoclog: this is what I use for ln2410sbc: http://rafb.net/paste/results/5wSgKV76.html |
| 12:40.14 | T0mW | infoclog: I use three flash section defs, one for each region I want to program: bootloader, kernel and romfs |
| 12:40.29 | T0mW | that is the #0, #1, #2 stuff |
| 12:40.40 | T0mW | same CPU, just different defs |
| 12:41.44 | T0mW | infoclog: then all I do is a "select 0", then "pr" to program area of flash for bootloader, etc. |
| 12:42.39 | infoclog | aha ! |
| 12:42.46 | T0mW | heh |
| 12:43.00 | T0mW | infoclog: saw something different? |
| 12:43.26 | infoclog | T0mW, but my concern is more onto just make load work. |
| 12:44.16 | infoclog | alrite.. lemme twist my file a lil bit... let me see.. brb |
| 12:44.39 | T0mW | infoclog: you can telnet into the BDI2000, correct? |
| 12:45.10 | T0mW | infoclog: and, when you setup the BDI2000, you set the HOST IP and NETMASK ? |
| 12:45.42 | infoclog | T0mW, YES |
| 12:45.57 | T0mW | ok, then you need to setup the tftp server |
| 12:46.28 | T0mW | a "load" command will take the tftp server dir as the root for operations. |
| 12:46.44 | T0mW | you cannot access anything that is not under that dir |
| 12:47.13 | infoclog | http://rafb.net/paste/results/5QDf9A91.html : (telnet replies) |
| 12:48.06 | T0mW | that looks like a normal connect to the target |
| 12:48.47 | T0mW | infoclog: the file you want to load is in /var/lib/tftpboot/ and is world readable? |
| 12:48.57 | infoclog | ah ! |
| 12:49.49 | T0mW | then, you should be able to "load 0x00000000 myFile bin" |
| 12:50.17 | T0mW | or, where ever your ram is located at. IIRC, my RAM is at 0x30000000 |
| 12:50.32 | T0mW | so, I would "load 0x30000000 myFile bin" |
| 12:50.34 | infoclog | actually.. it depends on where u configure tftpboot to be |
| 12:50.46 | infoclog | i made it in /tftpboot. |
| 12:50.48 | T0mW | infoclog: correct, I run Mandriva here |
| 12:51.11 | infoclog | what does ur /etc/inetd_conf say |
| 12:51.24 | infoclog | what does ur /etc/inetd.conf say |
| 12:51.37 | jbevren | infoclog: the word would be 'your'. |
| 12:52.05 | T0mW | http://rafb.net/paste/results/0mxhkQ48.html |
| 12:52.44 | T0mW | jbevren: good morning |
| 12:53.38 | jbevren | morning |
| 12:54.27 | infoclog | T0mW, yes.. its good..! in my case it is -s /tftpboot |
| 12:55.03 | T0mW | infoclog: so, attempt to load the file now and paste me the result |

| 13:01.20 | T0mW | infoclog: check your /var/log to see if the xfer is getting heard |
| 13:01.29 | T0mW | prpplague: don't much about them |
| 13:01.38 | prpplague | T0mW: chandler dropped his gba sp and one of the smt inductors busted |
| 13:01.39 | prpplague | :( |
| 13:02.01 | T0mW | prpplague: big device? |
| 13:02.16 | T0mW | prpplague: what size is the inductor? |
| 13:03.00 | prpplague | T0mW: not sure of the actual value, it looks to have 6 windings |
| 13:03.06 | prpplague | T0mW: pretty small |
| 13:03.23 | prpplague | T0mW: i can't find any markings that would give me a clue |
| 13:03.33 | T0mW | prpplague: six?! that is a lot, do you mean 6 turns? |
| 13:03.48 | prpplague | T0mW: well it has 6 solder pads |
| 13:04.02 | T0mW | prpplague: wires on all six? |
| 13:04.23 | prpplague | T0mW: hard to tell as the device was broken |
| 13:04.47 | T0mW | prpplague: microscope would help |
| 13:05.09 | prpplague | T0mW: yea |
| 13:05.13 | T0mW | well, I've got this board all wired, now to find the mistakes. |
| 13:05.14 | prpplague | T0mW: i need to dig some more |

| 13:06.21 | prpplague | T0mW: see the round inductor on the left side? |
| 13:06.31 | prpplague | T0mW: marked 262 1b |
| 13:06.39 | T0mW | prpplague: as a giggle, I took one of the LPC2214 processors (ARM7TDMI) and wired it to a 512K SRAM, then hung a lot of electronics off it: 6 serial ports + ENJ28J60 |
| 13:07.12 | prpplague | T0mW: oh cool |
| 13:07.38 | T0mW | prpplague: that is probably a custom xformer, you would not find that off-the-shelf |
| 13:08.18 | prpplague | T0mW: ahh |
| 13:08.26 | prpplague | T0mW: thats kinda what i figured |
| 13:08.43 | prpplague | T0mW: was planning to purchase a broken gba sp and scavenge the parts |
| 13:09.00 | T0mW | prpplague: well, the one board I did about 6 months ago has bothered me for a while. It has two processors on the board and little RAM. I figured since they have not yet finalized the board (stuck a power supply onto it), I'd take the time to redo it the "right" way. |
| 13:09.31 | T0mW | prpplague: so, I figure it this way: SD card + lots of RAM... heheh |
| 13:09.32 | prpplague | hehe |
| 13:09.58 | T0mW | I'd rather have tons of RAM than tons of Flash any day. |
| 13:10.25 | prpplague | T0mW: i'm pretty minimalistic on both |
| 13:10.26 | T0mW | prpplague: plus, I may have lowered the cost of the board |
| 13:10.30 | prpplague | i'm freaky that way |
| 13:11.11 | T0mW | maybe break even on the cost, dunno until I run some numbers |
| 13:12.40 | T0mW | prpplague: yeah, I would say that you could not order that part from the manufacturer, they'd only tell you to buy a new unit. heh |
| 13:13.57 | T0mW | drat, I forgot the pizeo transducer (sounder) |
| 13:15.25 | prpplague | T0mW: yea, i bought a gba sp with a broken screen and cracked case on ebay for $2.85 |
| 13:15.53 | prpplague | T0mW: i'm guessing the part i need is still probably good |
| 13:16.32 | T0mW | prpplague: yeah, prolly. I've a Zipit where I cracked the LCD peeling the reflective foil off it. |

| 14:58.22 | T0mW | infoclog: oh |
| 14:59.12 | T0mW | infoclog: some Flash memories can be programmed faster if the BDI2000 downloads a small program into the target system RAM, then it will put the bytes to program in another part of RAM, and then run the small program. In order to do all this, it needs someplace in RAM: WORKSPACE. |
| 14:59.46 | T0mW | infoclog: you can not give it a WORKSPACE area, it will just program the Flash very slowly. |
