Barebox on mini2440 256MB

Hi there :)

Is there anyone able to run the barebox (trunk or other recent version) on
the mini2440 with 256MB nand?

I'm able to run it from RAM but I'm unable to boot it from NAND

Here it is what I did:
********************************
Compiling the barebox:

made some changes in the arch/arm/boards/friendlyarm-mini2440/env/config
file

make friendlyarm_mini2440_defconfig

make menuconfig

make
*******************************
Lodad the barebox.bin to the mini2440:

put the S2 connector in NOR position
RESET
pushed the "x" option on vivi

Enter your selection: x

RESET again
pushed the "q" option on vivi

that step

is to check if the downloaded image is alright... and as we can see, it is
alright.

Now, I put the S2 in NAND position, RESET and nothing happens :(

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for any help that you can provide.

Hello,

I have the same problem with my board (EM2440-III witch is very similar to
mini2440)
Barebox is really great soft but in my case it cannot read/write to nand
and even mmc doesn't work :(
(I've tested many bb versions since 2011 and nand driver every time returns
'err -74')

My goal was to load kernel 3.8.13 and here is my solution:

U-Boot  
  - it can    read/write to nand and load barebox 
  - it cannot load kernel 3.x 
barebox 
  - it cannot boot from nand because its nand driver doesn't work
  - it cannot read/write to nand and mmc
  - it can load kernel 3.x 

My board nand partitions looks like this.

nandflash0:256k@0(bios),128k(params),128k(toc),512k(eboot),1024k(logo),2m(kernel
),-(root)

bios = u-boot 

1. write barebox.bin to eboot

tftp 0x31000000 barebox.bin; 
nand erase eboot
nand write.e 0x31000000 eboot $(filesize)

2. write zImage to kernel

tftp 0x31000000 zImage
nand erase kernel
nand write.e 0x31000000 kernel $(filesize)


3. u-boot boot command:
nand read.e 0x31000000 eboot 40000; nand read.e 0x32000000 kernel 200000;
go 0x31000000 

it simply loads barebox.bin to 0x31000000 and kernel to 0x32000000 for
barebox and then starts barebox 

4. here is barebox env/bin/init 

#copy file loaded via u-boot from memory addr 0x32000000 to /zImage 

memcpy -b 0x32000000 -d /zImage 0 2097152

bootm zImage 

5. Please note that my rootfs in on mmc but the it also can be on nand
(kernel MTD driver works fine)
