Hi,

i have tried to run uClinux on the EA-LPC1788 board.

I used the documentation from emcraft.com. I build the bootloader with the SourceryCode crosscompiler.
Then I copy it on the board...that works nicely.

After that I compiled the kernel (found it in emcraft git repository : https://github.com/EmcraftSystems)

i tried the .config that can loaded with: make ea-lpc1788_defconfig

then i compiled it with a busybox binary:
make uImage (in $PATH is the mkimage)

build without problems.

After that I tried to load it on the board via tftp, first i set the env variables,

then i load the kernel : tftp uImage

Download without problems.

Then I'll try to boot the kernel:
bootm

The problem is that the board hangs up at "Starting Kernel"

Full output:

## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 0xa0000000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-2.6.33-arm1
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    1108864 Bytes =  1.1 MB
   Load Address: a0008000
   Entry Point:  a0008001
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Loading Kernel Image ... OK
OK

Starting kernel ...

than it hangs up... :/



then i tried to debug the kernel by compiling KernelHacking -> low-level Debug.

After that I got following error:

...

Starting kernel ...

UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: HARD FAULT
  R0    = 00000055  R1  = 00000020

  R12   = 00000024  LR  = a000894d
  PC    = a0008924  PSR = 21000200


What to do to fix this? Can someone send me his .config?

Somebody have an idea?


Kind regards,

Norbert

Thanks, this .config works!

What is the problem with the defconfig? (What is the important diff between the files?)

Regards,

Norbert

Try this config file.

I found quite strange the image didn't boot when using ea-lpc1788_defconfig (tested it myself with similar results).

If you plan to do any serious development with ucLinux, I would recommend ordering their BSP. It is really worth the US $99. The are usually very responsive on email support requests.

What are your boot arguments?
