**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Apr 12 02:59:58 2013 Apr 12 17:03:42 I have some problem with nand map in s3c24xx and s3c6410. I hear that s3c6410 can map the begining 4K of nand after run internal rom as s3c24xx do. is that true? Apr 12 17:04:46 and if is true, how does u-boot make 4K content the necesary code to load the rest u-boot whose size is more 128K Apr 12 17:06:18 ayaka: "after run"? Apr 12 17:06:52 I meant, the SoC execute code in its internal rom Apr 12 17:08:00 ayaka: afaik on freerunner the first 4096 bytes of NAND is read to stepping-stone RAM and then the CPU starts executing code from the beginning of that RAM area Apr 12 17:08:53 ayaka: I don't think it maps NAND, afaik it actually copies the 4096 bytes Apr 12 17:09:29 yes, it is called stepping-stone, I don't know what is the name of that memoey area in datasheet. Apr 12 17:09:59 ayaka: maybe it uses the CPU cache for that? Apr 12 17:10:19 ok, then how does u-boot make beginging 4K contents those code Apr 12 17:10:32 ayaka: hmm? Apr 12 17:11:02 ayaka: the first 4K sets up RAM and then reads rest of u-boot from NAND I guess Apr 12 17:11:06 Is your u-boot not larger than 4K Apr 12 17:11:15 ayaka: I use qi but the same principle applies Apr 12 17:12:42 sorry, I want to know in that case, the u-boot can't be larger than 4K, can it? Apr 12 17:12:56 ayaka: sure it can Apr 12 17:13:32 ayaka: the first 4096 bytes enables RAM and then copies rest of u-boot to RAM Apr 12 17:14:23 yes, but how does u-boot put necessary code in the first 4K of its image when it is built Apr 12 17:14:37 ayaka: with some linker script? Apr 12 17:15:04 ayaka: it's probably in a specific ELF section and then it can use objdump to make sure that is in the beginning of the image Apr 12 17:15:09 ok, I will see makefile Apr 12 17:15:11 objcopy Apr 12 17:16:09 yes, I have seen that cmd, but I don't know much about that cmd Apr 12 17:17:29 thank you, lindi- Apr 12 17:18:04 ayaka: you are asking the right questions but I it is sometimes difficult to understand your english Apr 12 17:19:45 I am very sorry, could you point out which sentences is not correct Apr 12 17:20:46 or not perfect Apr 12 17:22:05 I already asked about that "after run" part Apr 12 17:22:25 I guess you meant "after running from internal ROM" Apr 12 17:23:43 yes, but I am sure the verb style in after and before sentences, I think I need did or do Apr 12 17:24:42 I will review this part, is that the only one Apr 12 17:26:19 "how does u-boot make beginging 4K contents those code" -> "How does u-boot ensure that the first 4K contains that code?" Apr 12 17:30:55 I see, thank you Apr 12 17:31:06 is that all? Apr 12 17:31:18 it's all I can fix today :) Apr 12 17:33:14 thank you very much Apr 12 17:33:56 I will write more competition to improve it **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Apr 13 02:59:58 2013
