Hi there,

Is anyone out there using a Sharp LH7A400 (http://logicpd.com) and UBoot. We are new to getting Linux working on this board and are wonderng which boot loader to use.

UBoot seems to be the choice :-) if anyone of you are using UBoot on these boards, can you please send us an image of the bootloader so we can give it a shot.

Any other resources are welcome, thanks for your time

Devraj

[U-Boot-Users] A question about sdram_init

Hello Frank!

Quoted 3 lines

Sorry, wrong function name. I've corrected in the second post. The problem
happens in cpu/ppc4xx/sdram.c -> sdram_init().

OK. I wrote this code, so here a few comments.

We are using this code on a least 10 different PPC405 boards without any problems (even with 4 Mbytes of SDRAM).

When you stripped the code to 3 lines only you probably missed those lines:

	...
	mtsdram0(mem_sdtr1, sdtr1);
	mtsdram0(mem_rtr, rtr);

Some of the sdram regs don't get initialized at all with your code! This could cause serious problems!

Some further questions:

Why did you change the code in the first place?

You speak of 8MBytes of SDRAM. Do you have 2 banks each 4MByte? This code only supports the first bank.

Best regards,
Stefan Roese
