kernal build error

dear hippo,

Thank you help me , now i bulild the kernal in my custom board (EP1C6,SDRAM(8MB),FLASH(8MB),uart *2,jtat uart ) ,when i run menuconfig ,i

select the ALTERA JTAG UARTsupport,and the nios serial support, then compile :

[wangzhiwunpu@localhost linux-2.6.x]$ make ARCH=nios2nommu CROSS_COMPILE=nios2-linux-uclibc-

    1. Did you apply the Nios2 patches to uClinux-dist-test? 

    cd ~
tar jxf uClinux-dist-test-20060511.tar.bz2
cd uClinux-dist-test
zcat uClinux-dist.diff.gz | patch -p0

    2. when you run "make menuconfig" , check if you have the correct target?

    Vendor/Product Selection --->

    --- Select the Vendor you wish to target

    (Altera) Vendor

    --- Select the Product you wish to target

    (nios2nommu) Altera Products

    then <exit>

    3. still in "make menuconfig", try restore to default setting,

    Kernel/Library/Defaults Selection --->

    (linux-2.6.x) Kernel Version

    (None) Libc Version

    [*] Default all settings (lose changes)

    [ ] Customize Kernel Settings

    [ ] Customize Vendor/User Settings

    [ ] Update Default Vendor Settings

    Then <exit> <exit> <yes>

    4. "make" again.

    dear hippo,

    Thank you, when I do according to you i could do next commands successfully,

    -------------------------------------# compile kernel and apps

    make

    make romfs# rebuild kernel for initramfs

    make linux image

    ---------------------------------sucessed

    then i do :

    http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...x/tryoutuclinux (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux/tryoutuclinux)

    -------------------

    /cygdrive/c/altera

    [sopc builder]$ nios2-download -g zImage...

    Using cable "byteBlaster II [LPT1]",device1,instance 0x00

    pausing target processor:OK

    downloaded 745KB in 17.9s<42.1KB/s>

    Verify failed

    Leaving target processor pauseed

    It may be

    1. problem of sdram timing or hardware, you should run some sdram test or hello on IDE/HAL .

    2. byteblaster is not stable, altera recommend usb blaster for nios2 download.

    Try add termination to jtag signal on your board.

    If I were you, I wouldn&#39;t try to jump right into uCLinux on a new board. I would start small, with something like "Hello World" or "Count Binary". Be sure that all of your major interfaces (flash, RAM, etc.) function before moving on to anything more complex. There&#39;s even a provided example for testing the flash and SDRAM, though you&#39;ll have to modify it, slightly, to get it to fully test your system.

    It&#39;s like building a wall. You wouldn&#39;t want to add another layer of bricks to something that isn&#39;t solid, would you?

    Best Regards,

    - slacker

    You have 8MB sdram,

    you should set boot loader offset to 5M in kernel config. http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...nux/linuxconfig (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux/linuxconfig)

    cd ~/uClinux-dist-test

    make menuconfig

    Kernel/Library/Defaults Selection --->

    (linux-2.6.x) Kernel Version

    (None) Libc Version

    [ ] Default all settings (lose changes)

    [*] Customize Kernel Settings

    [ ] Customize Vendor/User Settings

    [ ] Update Default Vendor Settings

    Then <exit> <exit> <yes>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

    --- Quote Start ---

    If you use DEII with 8M sdram, change the link address of the uncompress loader,

    Processor type and features-->(0x00500000) Link address offset for booting.

    The zImage load address is ( your sdram base address + link address offset ) . The zImage boot loader does not relocate itself.[/b]

    --- Quote End ---

    Then "make" again.

    ====================================

    Thanks,I am sure the FLASH and the SDRAM is no problem ,because i tested the hardware and can run UCOS/2 application and other programs.

    the flash(8MB) base address is 0x000000,the sdram(8MB) base address is 0x800000,so i set the zImage load address :0x500000+0x800000=0x0d00000,

    and then make ,still has the same problem.

    why set the link address offset 0x500000?

    thanks

    Did you "make linux image" ?

    You should set Link address offset for booting to 0x500000, not 0xd00000 .

    Kernel config will add up with sdram start.

    During nios2-download , what is the load address show up?

    try,

    nios2-linux-uclibc-objdump -h zImage

    it should display, .text start from VMA/LMA 0xd00000 .
