Re: [ECOS] Issue in boot script

["G.Muruganandam" <gmuruga at gdatech dot com>]

Hi Gary,

Even though the the time displayed in seconds shows 100 ( looks like, it is 
multiplied by 10) .

So it is effectively waiting for 10 seconds only before displaying the 
redboot prompt. I did verify
elapsed time using the system clock.

Here is the screen shot.


SDRAM(768M): 0x00000000 - 0x30000000, 0x00200000 - 0x2ffdf000 available
SRAM Channel 0(16M): 0x80000000 - 0x81000000
SRAM Channel 1(16M): 0x90000000 - 0x91000000
SRAM Channel 2(16M): 0xa0000000 - 0xa1000000
SRAM Channel 3(16M): 0xb0000000 - 0xb1000000
FLASH(16M): 0xc4000000 - 0xc5000000, 128 blocks of 0x00020000 bytes each.
CPLD Rev. is 9.4
