Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID

 

Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID

在烧内核的时候会出现的问题：

Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID

    原因：

This kind of error message happens if the machine ID which is set in U-Boot doesn't match the kernel's ID(s). Unfortunately a standard U-Boot sets the machine ID on AT91RM9200DK boards not to MACH_TYPE_AT91RM9200DK but to the generic MACH_TYPE_AT91RM9200. You can either this in board/at91rm9200dk/at91rm9200dk.c; I would recommend to obtain a new machine ID and create your own U-Boot board type, using board/at91rm9200dk as a template. The list of machine IDs can be found in include/asm-arm/mach-types.h.

The Linux kernel has to be changed accordingly to the above machine ID. There you can find the information in arch/arm/tools/mach-types arch/arm/boot/compressed/head-at91rm9200.S arch/arm/mach-at91rm9200/board-dk.c

    具体资料如下：

    U-boot端include/asm-arm/mach-types.h支持的at91rm9200的machine类型有：

#define MACH_TYPE_AT91RM9200           251
#define MACH_TYPE_AT91RM9200DK         262

    但是在 board/at91rm9200dk/at91rm9200dk.c中，虽然注释中说明使用的是AT91RM9200DK-Board，但是实际使用的是MACH_TYPE_AT91RM9200。

int board_init (void)
{
    /* Enable Ctrlc */
    console_init_f ();

    /* Correct IRDA resistor problem */
    /* Set PA23_TXD in Output */
    ((AT91PS_PIO) AT91C_BASE_PIOA)->PIO_OER = AT91C_PA23_TXD2;

    /* memory and cpu-speed are setup before relocation */
    /* so we do _nothing_ here */

    /* arch number of AT91RM9200DK-Board */
    gd->bd->bi_arch_number = MACH_TYPE_AT91RM9200;
    /* adress of boot parameters */
    gd->bd->bi_boot_params = PHYS_SDRAM + 0x100;

    return 0;
}
 

Linux内核端：

    真正的配置信息是在 arch/arm/mach-at91/board-dk.c中。

MACHINE_START(AT91RM9200DK, "Atmel AT91RM9200-DK")
        /* Maintainer: SAN People/Atmel */
        .phys_io = AT91_BASE_SYS,
        .io_pg_offst = (AT91_VA_BASE_SYS >> 18) & 0xfffc,
        .boot_params = AT91_SDRAM_BASE + 0x100,
        .timer = &at91rm9200_timer,
        .map_io = dk_map_io,
        .init_irq = dk_init_irq,
        .init_machine = dk_board_init,
MACHINE_END
 

    由此可以看出，Uboot使用的AT91RM9200的machine ID，而内核配置的是at91rm9200 dk的machine
ID，在这种情况下就出现了不一致。所以更改的方法：

    方法一、把Uboot中（board/at91rm9200dk/at91rm9200dk.c）board init中更改为MACH_TYPE_AT91RM9200DK

    方法二、把（arch/arm/mach-at91/board-dk.c）MACHINE_START(AT91RM9200DK, "Atmel AT91RM9200-DK")更改为MACHINE_START(AT91RM9200, "Atmel AT91RM9200-DK")。

    只要U-boot和Linux kernel一致即可。
