2. Setting the parameters

-Setting the ramoops parameters can be done in 3 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

|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ reserved-memory {
|
|
|
+ #address-cells = <2>;
|

|
|
+ C. 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:
