LS1043ARDB cannot bring up the kernel downloaded from TFTP

[jheng-jhongwu]

Switches set to boot from default NOR.

Try to set TFTP boot but cannot succeed to bring up the kernel downloaded from TFTP.

What's wrong?

It looks like that u-boot in the LS1043 NOR Flash old version. Try to boot from bank 4 or NAND or SD card.

The following setting is used on the LS1043a board:

NOR (bank0) SW4[1-8] +SW5[1] = 0b'00010010_1 SW5[4-6]= 0b'000

NOR (bank4) SW4[1-8] +SW5[1] = 0b'00010010_1 SW5[4-6]= 0b'001

NAND SW4[1-8] +SW5[1] = 0b'10000011_0

SD SW4[1-8] +SW5[1] = 0b'00100000_0

Use the following command for burning u-boot binary image (u_boot_sd.bin file) and microcode (ucode.bin file) to SD card:

u-boot writing to SD

1. tftp 82000000 /LS1043ARDB/u_boot_sd.bin
2. mmc erase 8 0x800 // the start at 8 block; the end of 2048 block
3. mmc write 0x82000000 8 0x800 // the first block is 8 the last block is 0x808 (2056 dec)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

it must be done.

Program a new microcode to SD Card:

1. tftp 83000000 LS1043ARDB/ucode.bin
2. mmc erase 820 50 // the start at 8 block; the end of 2048 block
3. mmc write 83000000 820 50 // after that the first block is 8 the last block is 0x870 (2160 dec)
4. cpld reset sd

Have a great day,
Pavel Chubakov
