Doesn't the physical memory map of > DDR3 start at x1000_0000 or 0x8000_0000, depending on mapping ? On i.MX6 SDRAM starts at 0x10000000. The above memory locations are near the end of SDRAM of the corresponding board. (Note CONFIG_ARCH_TEXT_BASE is only used if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set. With CONFIG_RELOCATABLE barebox will relocate itself near the end of SDRAM automatically.) > > > Similarly: the "loadaddr" statement in various *.imxcfg files are also > different: > > loadaddr 0x00907000 > loadaddr 0x10000000 > loadaddr 0x20000000 The loadaddr is where the ROM loads the binary. barebox will copy itself to a suitable address during runtime, so the loadaddr doesn't really matter. the suitable address is either CONFIG_ARCH_TEXT_BASE or near the end of SDRAM, depending on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. Most boards load somewhere to SDRAM. The DMO board loads to SRAM because it does SDRAM setup in code instead of the DCD header. > > I'd have expected that all will be loaded at 0x1000_0000, the start of DDR RAM? > > 00000400: 402000d1 10001000 00000000 00000000 00000000 10000400 > 00000000 00000000 > 10000400: 400000d1 10000000 00000000 00000000 00040000 10001000 > 00ff0000 00000000 > > 00000420: 10000000 0003d000 00000000 400803d2 040403cc 68400c02 > ffffffff 6c400c02 > 10000420: 10200000 00030400 00000000 40080000 040003cc 6840d000 > ff00ffff 6c4003d2 Does your SDRAM setup work? This looks like bitflips. Try using SRAM (0x00907000) as loadaddr, do you get verify errors aswell? You might have to disable options until the image fits into SRAM (256k - 0x7000).
