	how to change entry point for secondary boot loader ? by Lucky443 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi All, I have a KMC board with mips VR4131 processor. The target board already having cmon boot loader on flash. Now I need to put my yamon boot loader which I modified according to the requirement on the flash. As we know MIPS have fixed starting address 0xbfc00000, how to change this address to other address so that after power on it can enter to the new address (boot loader). If any one has some idea, please help me Thanks in advance. Thanks & Regards, Lucky

You can't change MIPS' power-on address. It is hard-coded for a reason... If you put yamon on the flash, it should start instead of cmon...

Some MIPS board have ability to add alternate window if flash bigger than 4M, for BCM5354 chip it is 0x1c000000, when flash 8M size. Then lower 4M accessible via 0x1fc00000 and via 0x1c000000, bigger 4M only via 0x1c000000, because 0x1fc00000 segment end on 0x20000000 boundary. >> >> Warner >> _______________________________________________ >> freebsd-mips@... mailing list >> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mips >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to >> "freebsd-mips-unsubscribe@..." -- Alexandr Rybalko <ray@...> _______________________________________________ freebsd-mips@... mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mips To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-mips-unsubscribe@..."
