Hi Gabi,
Answer to some more debug pointers suggested by you:-
3.What does the crosscompiler readelf (arm-linux-readelf -h in mycase) say?
Just to doublecheck the readelf output since the "readelf" is designed for
the x86 gcc toolchain, and it is not part of the crosscompiler suite.
--> The arm-linux-readelf says the same thing. Below is the output
[root at localhost okl4_3.0-armv6]#
../../opt/nicta/tools/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/arm-linux/bin/arm-linux-readelf

Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)

==============================
==========================================================================================================================
Try adding zero_bss = True to your machines.py definitions. It will create
an okl4 image.elf.nobits. And make your binary out of the image.elf.nobits.
This could eliminate problems with your BSS sections not being zero-ed out
at startup (was a problem in an older okl4 public release). You would init
somethng with 0 in your code and it would be nonzero in real life.
-->zero_bss = True is already present in machines.py.
========================================================================================================================================================
To this regard you can disassemble your elf image to check contents at the
load address position. Since this is part of the kernel image it might be
better to check the pistachio kernel elf image directly:
arm-linux-objdump -S build/image/image.elf.nobits -to disassemble the okl4
image
arm-linux-objdump -S build/pistachio/bin/kernel, - to dissassemble the
kernel elf
and check if at physical address 0x80000000 (which based on the readelf
means at virtual address 0xf0000000) you actually see some instructions:
should be the head.spp if I remember correctly.
--> disassembly of image.elf.nobits does show instructions from head.spp at
address 0xf0000000. Below is a snippet.

Another thing that I learned about u-boot is below:-
1) I was using 'go' command to load the okl4 elf kernel.
As it turns out, 'go' command is useful to load standalone binaries and
is not suitable for loading kernels.
2) So, to load the kernel elf, options are to use
-bootelf command
-bootm command
3) The u-boot which came pre-flashed on my beagleboard does not have the
bootelf command.
(I might probably need to build the u-boot myself with bootelf option
turned on, and then burn this new u-boot to the flash.
Then I should be able to directly load the okl4 elf image. I am keeping
this as last option)
4) To load kernel image with 'bootm' command, it is required to attach a
u-boot header to the kernel image. The 'mkimage' tool helps here.
I give the below command to attach u-boot header to the okl4 elf image
mkimage -A arm -O linux -n 'OKL4' -T kernel -C none -a 0x80000000 -e
0xf0000000 -d build/images/image.elf okl41uImage.img
Here: - -a == load address
-e == entry point
* ===> Could someone confirm if I am giving the correct values for the
load address and the entry point (-a and -e values)? *
For the Linux kernel 'uImage', load address is 0x80008000 and entry
point is 0x80008000.
With this new okl4uImage, the error message has changed in the omap3
simulator. The simulator is still exiting but it seems that it is trying to
load the kernel and not recognizing the address of entry point.
OMAP3 beagleboard.org #
OMAP3 beagleboard.org # nand read 0x80000000 0x280000 0x400000
NAND read: device 0 offset 0x280000, size 0x400000
4194304 bytes read: OK
OMAP3 beagleboard.org # bootm 80000000
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80000000 ...
Image Name: OKL4
Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size: 331552 Bytes = 323.8 kB
Load Address: 80000000
Entry Point: f0000000
Verifying Checksum ... OK
XIP Kernel Image ... OK
Starting kernel ...
smc 80e80414 insn 1600070
Unassigned mem readb f0000000pc f0000000
[root at localhost arm-softmmu]#
I have yet to test this on the beagleboard itself.
However, from simulator error, it seems that it is still not recognising
f0000000 address - probably because MMU is not turned on till this point?
I think that correcting the value of Load address and Entry point while
using the 'mkimage' tool will help to resolve the issue .ie. atleast kernel
will load properly and execution will start with the code of head.spp.
Thanks,
Kumar.
