Setting the ramoops parameters can be done in 2 different manners:
|
||||
1. Use the module parameters (which have the names of the variables described
|
||||
as before).
|
||||
For quick debugging, you can also reserve parts of memory during boot
|
||||
and then use the reserved memory for ramoops. For example, assuming a machine
|
||||
with > 128 MB of memory, the following kernel command line will tell the
|
||||
kernel to use only the first 128 MB of memory, and place ECC-protected ramoops
|
||||
region at 128 MB boundary:
|
||||
"mem=128M ramoops.mem_address=0x8000000 ramoops.ecc=1"
|
||||
2. Use a platform device and set the platform data. The parameters can then
|
||||
be set through that platform data. An example of doing that is:

You can specify either RAM memory or peripheral devices' memory. However, when
|
||||
specifying RAM, be sure to reserve the memory by issuing memblock_reserve()
|
||||
very early in the architecture code, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
#include <linux/memblock.h>
|
||||
|
||||
memblock_reserve(ramoops_data.mem_address, ramoops_data.mem_size);
