bootlet fails to load u-boot

Hello Friends,

I am using prototype board based on i.mx28.

power supply is configured for VDD5V only. Based on the Application note AN4199: "Using i.MX28 power management unit and battery charger" on Pg#20.

To enable the VDD5V only, I am referring Patch L2.6.35_10.12_SDK_5V_SUPPLY_PATCH.tar.gz at freescale website. I have applied the patch to bootlet code imx-bootlets-src-10.12.01.tar.gz.

I followed below steps to boot the u-boot:

1) Copied the u-boot under imx-bootlets-src directory after untaring and patching the source. Prototype uses the same Winbond RAM so no changes.

2) Export Toolchain path and added "BOARD = iMX28_EVK" to the Makefile

3) Performed "make" to create imx28_ivt_uboot.sb

4) Boot the prototype with USB boot option

5) load the image via command "sb_loader.exe -f imx28_ivt_uboot.sb"

Output on console:

PowerPrep start initialize power...

Configured for 5v only power source. Battery powered operation disabled.

Any suggestions why U-boot fails to find the boot mode and fails to execute? Is there any way I can test the same code on EVK, as looking to the EVK schematics, it seems that it has implemented DCDC_BATT source hardware configuration?

I found that SPL is passing parameters to U-Boot which bootlets fails to do. Hence not able to get it working.

Need to fix the U-boot SPL code to boot u-boot.

Thanks All.

Ankur.

Hello Fabio,

I have fix the boot mode and memory parameter in u-boot. Atlast, I have now bootlets loading the u-boot. All basic peripherials including NAND and RAM are working but Ethernet is not working. I have checked the voltages are all Good but there is no ENET_CLK Clock generated that goes to phy chip. When I run the U-boot with SPL on evk, I can see the ENET_CLK ethernet clock. I am sure that bootlets does miss something that u-boot spl does for Ethernet. I just tried comparing the bootlet code with u-boot spl especially related to enet but couldnt find any difference.

In addition, I have checked that u-boot code "board_eth_init" fn under mx28evk.c and subfunction "cpu_eth_init" configures the Ethernet clock and initialize it. Still u-boot with bootlet fails to enable ethernet.

Can anyone point me on bootlet how to enable the ethernet?

Console Output (u-boot loaded by bootlet):

PowerPrep start initialize power...

Battery Voltage = 0.71V
