Re: Using RedBoot ROM to load RedBoot Ram

I have recompiled redboot and tried to load redboot.srec but get error:

RedBoot> version

RedBoot(tm) bootstrap and debug environment [ROM]
Non-certified release, version 2.00 - built 17:25:55, Dec 13 2002

Platform: Intel(R) IXDP425
Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, Red Hat, Inc.

RAM: 0x10100000-0x20000000, 0x101156a8-0x1ffdd000 available
FLASH: 0x50000000 - 0x51000000, 128 blocks of 0x00020000 bytes each.

I have been unable to find the place where to change the address. What would be the prober value? can redbot be run at 0x10200000 or does
it have to go at some special address?

According to hal/arm/xscale/ixdp425/current/include/pkgconf/mlt*.ldi RedBoot should think the RAM starts at 0, not 0x10100000. It seems your problem is the ROM image on your board is somewhat incompatible with your current sources. Difficult to say without looking closer what the best way forward would be, but have you tried saying yes to the ocnfirmation request and just trying it? According to hal/arm/xscale/ixdp425/current/include/hal_platform_extras.h:


   //  Virtual Address   Physical Address  XCB  Size (MB)  Description
   //     0x00000000       0x00000000      010     256     SDRAM (cached)
   //     0x10000000       0x10000000      010     256     SDRAM (alias)

So it may just work if it's an alias.
