NAND: Fix integer overflow in ONFI detection of chips >= 4GiB

[people/ms/u-boot.git] / doc / README.PlanetCore

After several heart-struck failure, I got one workable way to program
each other in FLASH between PlanetCore and U-Boot.

Hardware Platform : RPXlite DW(EP 823 H1 DW)

1. From U-Boot to PlanetCore

Utilities : PlanetCore Boot Loader - PCL200.mot

[root@sam tftpboot]# ppc_8xx-objcopy -O ppcboot
PCL200.mot pcl200.bin

[Target Operation]
u-boot>t 100000 pcl200.bin
u-boot>go 0x100000
## Starting application at 0x00100000 ...

2. From PlanetCore to U-Boot

Utilities : PlanetCore FLASH Burner - PCB200.mot

Use Flash Burner to finish the work:

First, TFTP the U-Boot image file to RAM; For example,
RPXlite_DW.bin to 0x400000
Second, TFTP FLASH Burner to RAM; For example,
0x100000
Third, run the FLASH Burner and Program the U-Boot
image into the correct location in FLASH.

Well, sometimes network function of PlanetCore couldn't work when
switching from U-Boot to PlanetCore. For example, you couldn't
download a file from HOST PC via TFTP. Don't worry, just restart your
HOST PC and everything would work as smooth as clockwork. I don't
know the reason WHY:-)
