Rebuilding u-boot

Graeme Parker

From this guide:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/DM816x_AM389x_PSP_U-Boot#U-Boot_for_SD_boot

After it is stated "The pre-built U-Boot binaries that comes in the release package has been built for DDR3 based EVM and the configuration is forDDR3@400MHz I/O clk." it then states "The default configuration is for DDR3@796MHz.". Which is it?

Once you find this file arch/arm/include/asm/arch-ti81xx/ddr_defs.h, is it only the #define CONFIG_TI8168_DDR3_796 that needs to be changed or do you also need to change #define RD_DQS_GATE 0x138, #define RD_DQS 0x36 and #define WR_DQS 0x8E ? (these figures are ones I obtained using the DDR3_slave_ratio_search.out application). Also, the file ddr_defs.h does not contain the DDR3 speed reference but it seems to be in file ddr_defs_ti816x.h.

When you build u-boot as per "make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm distclean" etc, what folder is this to be run from?

As a non-Linux person, I am not happy with the documentation that I was hoping would guide me to rebuilding u-boot.

I await your answers.

Graeme,

Say you download the source (or clone it) in a directory uboot_scr, now you can

go into the directory uboot_scr, and just run the above command.

It will only compile if you have cross compiler in our machine installed.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've just installed everything as described here: http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/ezsdk/latest/index_FDS.html

u-boot seems to be in /home/user_name/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm 5_03_01_15/board-support/u-boot-2010.06-psp04.00.01.13.patch1 does this look right?

I have tried running the make commands from here, and there are plenty of errors about "command not found" with regard to arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc. I have the CodeSourcery toolchain installed, isn't that enough?

OK. Progress :)

I have managed to rebuild the SD card structure including modifications necessary for the DDR3 speed that I am using.

When I type bdinfo it replies with the start addresses of my DDR3 banks (0x80000000 & 0xC0000000). It also states that the size is 0x40000000. Does this represent the EMIF size or what it thinks the DDR3 actually is? My DDR3 is only 0x10000000 bytes per EMIF.

If I let the boot continue, then it always gets stuck at "ata1: SATA link down"
