doesn't boot on LPC3130

[bestouff]

Hi,

the NXP LPC3130 does have some peculiarities (see http://www.elde.cz/datasht/lpc3131.linux%20quickstart%20guide%20-%20embedded%20artists.pdf#page=25&zoom=auto,0,709 page 25) and it seems your version of u-boot doesn't boot.
I tried UART boot only, as I don't have an SD card on my board.

The uboot has to have the DRAM timings adjusted for your particular PCB's choice of DRAM chips.

I have not worked on the LPC3130 for several years now. There is also Linux support in the kernel tree.

OK I'll have a look at that. BTW there's zero support for the LPC3130 in the kernel tree. NXP delivers a custom 2.6 kernel with some support, but nothing upstream.

Code is in my Linux kernel tree on Github. If I recall correctly what I did, I ported the NXP code forward about 20 kernel releases. But why mess with the LPC3130? You can buy decent Cortex-A9 boards for $25.

If you are after low cost, check out the Grain Media GM8135. It is ARM9 with 64MB of memory inside the SOC package for under $4. Here is board using it for $6.44

Ignore the camera, that is a great little Linux machine for $4
Buy the SDK from the factory for about $1,000 and they will give you good tech support. Also source to everything except the h.264 encode driver.

I've got a board already using the LPC3130, and I'd like it to run something more recent than apex+linux2.6 ...
Thanks for the pointer, I'll have a look at your kernel.

I didn't find anything related to lpc31xx inside; I used git log --author=jonsmirl to look for interesting commits, is that right ?
