I've been fighting with my flash on a custom board for the last 2 days. I could not mount mtdblock0, turned out to be a problem with busybox. I got over that hurdle only to find a memory allocation problem, and I don't understand why. I have 4Mbytes of SRAM for the kernel and processes to run. Anybody see anything wrong? I will also get error messages when using simple command line arguments like "ls."
ls: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x50 a bunch of Stack and Trace info stuff <........> or ifconfig: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0xd0 a bunch of Stack and Trace info stuff <.....> ifconfig: program too big Also, I have modified my altera.c file to get me started. I used the "Maps for Altera Nios Development kit" under Mapping drivers, then modified the altera.c file. Can I use the "CFI Flash device in physical memory map," then generate a map file for my flash? Here is what I'm getting now when I launch the terminal window. --Doug uClinux/Nios II Altera Nios II support © 2004 Microtronix Datacom Ltd. setup_arch: No persistant network settings signature at 00FF0000 Built 1 zonelists Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock0 ro PID hash table entries: 32 (order: 5, 512 bytes) Dentry cache hash table entries: 1024 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) Inode-cache hash table entries: 512 (order: -1, 2048 bytes) Memory available: 2308k/4096k RAM, 0k/0k ROM (1399k kernel code, 310k data) Mount-cache hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) NET: Registered protocol family 16 Serial: JTAG UART driver $Revision: 1.3 $ ttyJ0 at MMIO 0x80000840 (irq = 3) is a jtag_uart RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 4096K size 1024 blocksize smc_probe: 50000 Khz Nios SMSC LAN91C111 Driver (v2.1), (Linux Kernel 2.6) eth0: SMC91C11xFD(rev:1) at 0x80010300 IRQ:9 MEMSIZE:8192b NOWAIT:0 ADDR: 00:07:ed:00:00:00 smc_probe: 50000 Khz Nios Using anticipatory io scheduler Custom board flash (AMD): Found 1 x8 devices at 0x0 in 8-bit bank Amd/Fujitsu Extended Query Table at 0x0040 Custom board flash (AMD): CFI does not contain boot bank location.
