RedBoot(tm) bootstrap and debug environment [ROMRAM]
Non-certified release, version current-TS_5 - built 11:24:54, Jun 7 2006
Platform: TS-7200 Board (ARM920T) Rev A
RAM: 0x00000000-0x02000000, [0x00044f88-0x01fdd000] available
FLASH: 0x60000000 - 0x60800000, 64 blocks of 0x00020000 bytes each.
>Description:
TS7200s have an area of flash for the kernel to boot with a length of 0x160000 bytes. The gzimg that NetBSD 4.0_RC3 builds for this space is 0x16D303 bytes long. This makes the default method of putting a NetBSD kernel on this hardware impossible.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to "fis create" the image in flash and watch RedBoot complain that the image in RAM won't fit into flash.
>Fix:
None known.
Build the kernel without INET6, NFSSERVER, COMPAT_*, TS-ETH10 PC/104 ethernet, ukbd, wskbd, uaudio, umidi, audio, and wsmux, all of which will be useful to someone, just not me.
