Just like Andrey already said, barebox detects the RAM size by reading
back the values from the SDRAM controller to determine its memory
layout, so the configured values must be correct. In your case they can
only be correct for the 1GB version.
What you can do in this case is:
- in your boards lowlevel.c detect your actual RAM size by testing for
mirrors in the SDRAM Address space.
- Instead of imx53_barebox_entry() call barebox_arm_entry() with the
actual RAM size.
This should already bring you through the lowlevel setup succesfully.
Then in your board file add this:
#include <mach/esdctl.h>
static int myboard_init(void)
{
imx_esdctl_disable();
arm_add_mem_device("ram0", MX53_CSD0_BASE_ADDR, size);
return 0;
}
core_initcall(myboard_init);
Note you can't use a variable to safe the calculated SDRAM size from
lowlevel.c to your board file. It's probably best to do the same test
again.
