- MK 03:40 PM Software Development: RE: Yocto in the future?
- One other thing... you will need to set defconfig to the appropriate config file - it is easiest just to copy this from the repo to meta-mityarm/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto-custom/defconfig .
Also, I set CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y in ... - MK 02:48 PM Software Development: RE: Yocto in the future?
- Sure. First I should make clear the Yocto version - it is *dylan*-9.0.0 , not denzil. This is also Yocto/Poky... lately Yocto has been claiming Angstrom and Linaro, though I can't say I completly get the nuance here... if anyone can ex...

- Thanks Michael for the update. Would you be willing to share the steps you did to get it working or maybe just the working .bb files?
Thanks

- 3.2 Kernel appears to run fine under Yocto (denzil-9.0.0).

We'll get it applied in the local tree (which came from TI, really).
Sorry for the inconvenience.

- This is a bug in the kernel. Lines 215-219 of the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/irq.c should be modified:

- MK 11:25 PM Software Development: RE: High Latency for GPIO Interrupts in 3.2 Kernel
- The GPIO interrupt is on GPIO bank 0. Is there any chance that there is power management being applied to the GPIO or the GPIO 0 bank clock (clk_rc32k_ck) has changed? The fact that the latency goes down when I load the processor is aw...

- MW 08:12 PM Software Development: RE: High Latency for GPIO Interrupts in 3.2 Kernel
- Are you handling the interrupts in a kernel module or via the gpio sysfs file hooks?
- Just switched over to the 3.2 Kernel from 3.1 to support programming of the 512MB flash, and the latency for a GPIO Interrupt has gone through the roof - from ~20usec on 3.1 to >400usec on 3.2. Kind of odd: 3.2 the interrupt tends to ge...

- Tim,
No worries! I appreciate you getting the 512MB to work!
I downloaded from three different places on the CL website, this thread, the u-boot wiki page, and the link you posted. All three binaries were the same - no joy.

Sorry about that!
I did add a board type for this configuration, but didn't really document it very well. :(
Use the mityarm335x_4kpage configuration to define the MITYARM_4K_PAGE_NAND preprocessor macro.
The goal is eventuall... - MK 02:39 PM Software Development: RE: Difficulty in flashing MLO and U-Boot to the AM3354 with 512MB NAND
- Jonathan,
I found the problem - looks like a bug in your u-boot code. For some reason, the MITYARM_4K_PAGE_NAND environment variable was not getting set. To the top of include/configs/mityarm335x.h I added:
@#define MITYARM_4K_PA... - JC 02:21 PM Software Development: RE: Difficulty in flashing MLO and U-Boot to the AM3354 with 512MB NAND
- Jumpers only affect where the board looks for bootup code. The ubifs wiki page has my jumper config for booting from nand vs sd card.
- JC 02:19 PM Software Development: RE: Difficulty in flashing MLO and U-Boot to the AM3354 with 512MB NAND
- Mike can you run "nand bad"?
Did you use an older u-boot before you got the updated one? Its possible the older u-boot already marked all the blocks bad. To clear the bad blocks you need to run "nand scrub.chip". This command will w... - MK 02:05 PM Software Development: RE: Difficulty in flashing MLO and U-Boot to the AM3354 with 512MB NAND
- Jonathan,
Thanks. Yes, my suspicion is that I don't have the correct u-boot. I've built u-boot from source, the u-boot-2013.01 branch, and still not working. The results (and the uboot version - 2013.01.01-g6818f7c) are identical t... - JC 09:13 AM Software Development: RE: Difficulty in flashing MLO and U-Boot to the AM3354 with 512MB NAND

I've added the correct mtdparts and other information on flashing the nand in the following wiki: http://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/armc8-platforms/wiki/UBIFS_Nand_Boot.

- I am still having trouble programming the MLO and uboot into NAND from u-boot on an AM3354.
I've tried the MLO, uEnv.txt, and uboot.img posted for the 512M device, and here is what a boot into uboot from an SD Card looks like:

Software Development: RE: NAND memory map question
- Jonathan,
Thanks much as your last two posts help tremendously. Our biggest concern with using NAND for both the u-boot images
(and our own) was having a block go bad. We did not want our units to end up dying in the field bec...

- JC 01:29 PM Software Development: RE: NAND memory map question
- So looking in the following file you can see that there is support in the MLO for having a redundant environment partition, although we don't use it. It would probably not be difficult for someone to also add a redundant u-boot partitio...
- JC 01:08 PM Software Development: RE: NAND memory map question
- John,
Thanks for the clarification, I was looking in the kernel repository not the U-boot one.
I am not too familiar with the u-boot mlo implementation. I'm not sure what it would take to have the MLO support two locations for the... -
