Anyone booted ecos with u-boot? - porting

I need to port ecos on new platform board with u-boot.
Everywhere I am able to find Porting guide for ecos with redboot.
Did anyone booted ecos with u-boot?
I got some link which tells it's possible to boot ecos with u-boot?
https://sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2010-06/msg00038.html
But I am not able to find any document regarding that.
I tried following following procedure to boot ecos with u-boot
compiled ecos 3.0
ecosconfig new
ecosconfig tree
make
cross compiled and generated sample hello_world elf linking library
generated in previous make.
Powered on the board and stopped at u-boot(prebuilt u-boot already in
flash)
Transferred hello_world to a load_addr(entry point address of RAM) through tftp
bootelf load_addr
But it got hanged as follows,
bootelf 0x820000bc
Loading .rom_vectors # 0x82000000 (204 bytes)
Loading .text # 0x820000cc (224132 bytes)
EDIT :
When I try loading at address 0x81000000 It proceed further as follows,
bootelf 0x81000000
Loading .rom_vectors # 0x82000000 (204 bytes)
Loading .text # 0x820000cc (207960 bytes)
Loading .rodata # 0x82032d28 (7296 bytes)
Loading .data # 0x820349a8 (2544 bytes)
Loading .ctors # 0x82035398 (80 bytes)
Loading .dtors # 0x820353e8 (56 bytes)
Loading .devtab # 0x82035420 (608 bytes)
Clearing .sbss # 0x82035680 (276 bytes)
Clearing .bss # 0x82035798 (313052 bytes)
## Starting application at 0x820000bc ...
But hangs after the above line. My ELF file size is around 1.9 MB. Will it make a problem?
Note: RAM size - 8 MB (0x80000000 - 0x88000000)

It shouldn't be hard. If you have an ELF file, bootelf will boot it.

How can I solve the error "Failed to parse flash type or unrecognized flash type" on STM32 board?

I tried to run the benchmarking code at here
When I try to flash the binary like st-flash write benchmark-kindi256342.bin 0x8000000, an error occurs as following.

How can I solve this error?
I use STM32F407G board and linux using VMWare.
I tried
st-flash --connect-under-reset --reset write build/h7a3zi_test.bin 0x08000000,
but it doesn't work.
Also I tried re-plug all the cables and it doesn't work too.

ESP32 JTAG Programming fails at Verification

The code is working. I can build it and to mention. it was working, i could upload it to my custom made ESP32 board. From all of a sudden it stopped working. Tried with different PCB boards also different cables.
I somehow resolved my problem so i can program it, but now i get a verification error after Programming Finished
Here is my complete log from terminal.

I test my board with Arduino framework successfully.
Thanks you
I use esp01-1M board instead of esp07 board and compile then upload to esp07 board successfully.
again change board to esp07 and add
board_upload.maximum_size = 1048576
to platformio.ini file and compile and upload toesp07` board successfully.
I found 1048576 value from esp01_1m.json file.

Trouble building u-boot for gumstix overo on yocto "thud" release

Attempting to build a yocto image using the "thud" release, bitbake fails on building the version of u-boot that comes with the meta-gumstix thud branch, which is 2016.03 (which seems antique?).
The error I'm seeing is regarding conflicting types, e.g.
ERROR: u-boot-v2016.03+gitAUTOINC+df61a74e68-r0 do_compile: oe_runmake failed
…
/home/kwisatz/yocto-new/build/tmp/work/overo-poky-linux-gnueabi/u-boot/v2016.03+gitAUTOINC+df61a74e68-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/include/libfdt_env.h:71:30: error: conflicting types for 'fdt64_t'
typedef uint64_t FDT_BITWISE fdt64_t;
Searching the Internet for that, one quickly comes across a range of threads explaining that the problem is the libfdt-dev.h header that comes with the dtc package. Some recommend to blacklist or uninstall the dtc package, but from what I see, it's explicitly required by the u-boot recipe in the gumstix layer for yocto:
DEPENDS += "dtc-native"
See also https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/147816/
However, in the thread linked to above, we're talking versions 2018.01 and 2018.03, not 2016.03
The poky layer for thud brings u-boot 2018.07 which builds fine, but with that one, my overo (Airstorm-Y) won't boot anymore:

I'm not entirely sure if this boot problem is related to the u-boot build or to the kernel image that I've built (see my previous thread)?
Any tips on how I could solve this issue? Is there a more recent version of u-boot in a gumstix layer for yocto that I haven't discovered just yet, or do you have any other tips on how I could get a working yocto image for my overo?
P.S. Note that during the build, I'm also seeing these warning, but I don't think there's an actual problem here:

The context lines in the patches can be updated with devtool:

If you're looking for a new (development, not stable) image for the Overo I would recommend the Warrior branch
https://github.com/gumstix/yocto-manifest/tree/warrior
It has been tested and confirmed working for the Overo. The Thud branch was added to our repo to add support for the Raspberry Pi CM3+. For an older (stable) image, I would recommend Morty
https://github.com/gumstix/yocto-manifest/tree/morty
Thanks.
At least for me, with the same issue, i just removed
DEPENDS += "dtc-native"
and build completed.

Accessing real frame buffer of PCI card

I am trying to access the framebuffer on my systems VGA controller card.
lscpi -vn gives:
00:02.0 0300: 8086:2a02 (rev 0c) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: 1028:022f
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 45
Memory at fea00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
I/O ports at eff8 [size=8]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 3
Kernel driver in use: i915
Now, I access the device and I get:
fb_base = pci_resource_start( devp, 0 ); **output: FEA00000**
fb_size = pci_resource_len( devp, 0 ); **output: 1MB**
So the range of framebuffer is FEA00000 - FEB00000
But from the lspci -vn output This region is non prefetchable.
Does that mean I am not pointing to the frame buffer at all.
Is my framebuffer at address E0000000:
The driver currently using the resource is the Intel i915
So maybe when I request region or IRQ it can clash if not shared by that driver.
If I remove the i915 rmmod it to insmod my driver, will my screen go blank.
Please help.
Thanks.
