write a single location first:

mw.l 0x007b0000 0xffffffff 0x01

and then check your NVRAM locn:

md 0x007b0000 0x0001


Confirm that you can successfully write to your NVRAM.

It should work easily man ...
There's no other complex ideas here.

I gone through this back. But with write I had problem at first time.

There will be read & write enable pins in NVRAM (active low), which get low when reading/writing and this signals will be sent from processor via the lines connected to pins READ/WRITE Enable.

In my case these bits were not configured (kept inactive) in that approprite chip select mapped to NVRAM. Later, I set those flags to activate READ?WRITE bits.

This was the only effort, I had to go through..., to bring up my NVRAM device.

NVRAM is same as RAM with NON-VOLATILE functionality... It doesn't require any special actions as we do it for FLASH. Only needy things are write/read enable bits and I assume the data bus always works perfect...

I find the solution, the NVRAM address format should be 0x487b0000, not 0x007b0000.
So the proper syntax is:

Code:
tftp 0x80000100 nvram.bin
protect off 0x487b0000 +0x50000
erase 0x487b0000 +0x50000
cp.b 0x80000100 0x487b0000 0x50000
protect on 0x487b0000 +0x50000
