hello experts,

my board is iMX6DL based customized board with 1G SDRAM,

i configured uboot successfully,and uboot can recgnize 1G ram at startup.

after booting up linux ,I excute my test program which just allocate 1M mem everytime and continuous until out of mem.

but it can only access 640M ,and then kernel crashed.

 

but when i passed nosmp paramtter to cmdline this problem disappears.

 

./mem 600

... ...

allocated mem:1M success, address:0x6e09f008 ,total allocated:491 M

Mem:           882          638          243            0            0

 

allocated mem:1M success, address:0x6e243008 ,total allocated:492 M

Mem:           882          639          243            0            0

 

allocated mem:1M success, address:0x6e370008 ,total allocated:493 M

Mem:           882          640          242            0            0

 

allocated mem:1M success, address:0x6e53b008 ,total allocated:494 M

Mem:           882          641          240            0

I would recommend looking at AN3980 (link below) as hardware looks to be working fine (uboot is recognizing the entire RAM) and the problem seems to be the memory mapping in Linux. This Application Note is written for the i.MX51 but the key concepts still apply.
