Honored ContributorHi,
I found the issue. In fact the device-tree generator (sopc2dts : from .sopcinfo to .dts) does not support the version 10.1 of the timer. So I manually modify the timer description in the .dts. But I forgot to add the clock-frequency value, so I got a "NULL pointer error". The timer description should be : --- Quote Start --- //Port data_master of cpu_0 timer_0: timer@0x4842000 { compatible = "altr,timer-8.0"; reg = < 0x4842000 0x20>; interrupt-parent = < &cpu_0 >; clock-frequency = <50000000>; interrupts = < 0 >; }; //end unknown (timer_0) --- Quote End --- Now I get another issue in the boot process : --- Quote Start --- fault during kernel misaligned fixup @ 0xd02157b0; addr 0x00000003; isn=0x20800017 Linux version 2.6.39-rc3-01078-gaf7b9ea-dirty (ben@debian) (gcc version 4.1.2)# 64 Fri May 13 10:56:50 CEST 2011 bootconsole [early0] enabled early_console initialized at 0xe4842020 On node 0 totalpages: 4096 free_area_init_node: node 0, pgdat d04b2814, node_mem_map d04cd800 DMA zone: 36 pages used for memmap DMA zone: 0 pages reserved DMA zone: 4060 pages, LIFO batch:0 pcpu-alloc: s0 r0 d32768 u32768 alloc=1*32768 pcpu-alloc: [0] 0 Built 1 zonelists in Zone order, mobility grouping off.
