Could someone help me to resolve the bootscript issue on the IXP platform?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [ECOS] Issue in boot script

[G.Muruganandam]

Hi Gary,

Even though the the time displayed in seconds shows 100 ( looks like, it is 
multiplied by 10) .

So it is effectively waiting for 10 seconds only before displaying the 
redboot prompt. I did verify
elapsed time using the system clock.

Here is the screen shot.


SDRAM(768M): 0x00000000 - 0x30000000, 0x00200000 - 0x2ffdf000 available
SRAM Channel 0(16M): 0x80000000 - 0x81000000
SRAM Channel 1(16M): 0x90000000 - 0x91000000
SRAM Channel 2(16M): 0xa0000000 - 0xa1000000
SRAM Channel 3(16M): 0xb0000000 - 0xb1000000
FLASH(16M): 0xc4000000 - 0xc5000000, 128 blocks of 0x00020000 bytes each.
CPLD Rev. is 9.4
== Executing boot script in 100.000 seconds - enter ^C to abort
RedBoot_2800>

How long did you wait?  You've told it not to run the script until
*100* seconds have passed :-), so unless you waited for nearly two
minutes, you won't see the script execute.

This value (Boot script timeout) is typically something like 5 seconds.

[ECOS] Issue in boot script

[G.Muruganandam]

Hi,

I am working on the IXP2xxx platform to boot linux using the boot script.

The linux image is in the flash.
I am able to use the following command at the redboot prompt to boot
the linux. Its working fine.

Redboot> fis load zImage
Redboot>exec 0x10008000


But when I include the same command under the boot script and allows the system
to boot using the script, it is not working. I could see the system waiting 
for the Ctrl +c
from user to abort the booting. But it is not reading the boot script and 
executing it .

I can see the boot script residing in the flash using the following command.

RedBoot> fconfig -li
Run script at boot: true
Boot script:
.. fis load zImage
.. exec 0x10008000

Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 100
Use BOOTP for network configuration: true
GDB connection port: 9000
Network debug at boot time: false
RedBoot>


Please let me know  what I am missing and do let me know if you need more 
details.

Thanks
G.Muruganandam
