There is no form of detection. UBoot (a very old version) don't use any CS1 address, except with the memtest command. If memtest command is executed with 512MB version, UBoot hangs, as expected. I set the mem kernel parameter using a environment variable and kernel can reach CS1 memory. 2016-11-08 22:24 GMT+01:00 Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > On Tue, Nov 08, 2016 at 09:51:36PM +0100, Jose Luis Zabalza wrote: >> > So you have 512MiB on each chip select, so I assume that on the 512MiB >> > board variants CS1 is not equipped. >> >> Yes, it is. >> >> >In that case you can in lowlevel.c >> > test if you find SDRAM on CS1 and if not, disable the chip select >> > completely in the SDRAM controller. >> >> OK.
