Hi everyone,
I've recently been playing with u-boot and an omap3 beagle board and
I've found a problem that I think involves the reading of nand
memory...
I have recompiled u-boot for the beagle board (I just changed its
prompt, as a simple test to check that it's my u-boot and not the one
that was there before, and I used the default configs for the beagle),
then I have loaded u-boot and the x-loader into flash, and I have
succesfully rebooted and seen 'my' u-boot prompt...
after that, I wanted to load a linux kernel and a file system into
nand flash, instead of using the external memory card (if I boot a
kernel stored there, it works), so I go and load an uImage into flash,
then read it back to RAM, and boot from there, and it still works,
BUT, as soon as I reset the OMAP, when it tries to copy the kernel
data stored in flash into RAM to boot from it, the nand reading
operation will fail, and if I try to boot that kernel it will complain
about a CRC checksum error...
the exact error looks like this:
# nand read ${loadaddr} 280000 400000
NAND read: device 0 offset 0x280000, size 0x400000
NAND read from offset 280000 failed -74
note that this just happens after I reset the board... I thought it
could be a hardware problem with my board, but I've tried in a
different board (an omap3 evm) and I'm getting the same thing, so I
think I might be missing something...
has anyone of you tried something like this or has encountered any
similar problem? any help will be greatly appreciated, if you need any
extra info about what I have done just tell me...
thanks a lot in advance, best regards,
Fernando
