Hi, New to TS7200, and I wanted to play with it a bit. In my TS-7200, I disabled the default boot to ts-linux, and recreated the partitions in redboot, think i used fis init -f, something like that, and my partitions are all in default mode, and i dont have my ts-linux image in my flash, and my flash is clean and pristine.
Now i wanted to load the ts-linux image (zimage-ts11) from my sdram (thereby skipping the step of writing the linux image to flash). Idea is to directly boot from RAM, thereby saving my flash write cycles.
i did load -r -b 0x00218000 -h 192.168.0.5 zim1 [Comments: zim1 is my zImage name and ip is my tftp server] then did exec -c “console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock1”
thereby booting to my root file system. Everything came up properly and i got log in prompt. BUT, i just wanted to confirm that i have not written to the flash address, and i'm indeed loading from SDRAM, because after issuing the load command, i got this message
" load -r -b 0x00218000 -h 192.168.0.5 zim1 Using default protocol (TFTP) Raw file loaded 0x00218000-0x002cc47b, assumed entry at 0x00218000 "
But my SDRAM address is D000_0000, so am i doing something wrong here. Is there any other way to boot linux image from SDRAM thereby skipping flash, or did i do it correctly?
Thanks Balaji R
