Documentation: remove old sbc8260 board specific information
This file contains 8 yr. old board specific information that was for the now gone ppc implementation, and it pre-dates widespread u-boot support. Any of the technical details of the board memory map would be more appropriately captured in a dts if I revive it as powerpc anyway.

Initial conditions:
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Tasks that need to be perform by the boot ROM before control is
|
||||
transferred to zImage (compressed Linux kernel):
|
||||
|
||||
- Define the IMMR to 0xf0000000
|
||||
|
||||
- Initialize the memory controller so that RAM is available at
|
||||
physical address 0x00000000. On the SBC8260 is this 16M (64M)
|
||||
SDRAM.
|
||||
|
||||
- The boot ROM should only clear the RAM that it is using.
|
||||
|
||||
The reason for doing this is to enhances the chances of a
|
||||
successful post mortem on a Linux panic. One of the first
|
||||
items to examine is the 16k (LOG_BUF_LEN) circular console
|
||||
buffer called log_buf which is defined in kernel/printk.c.
|
||||
|
||||
- To enhance boot ROM performance, the I-cache can be enabled.

|
||||
|
||||
LiMon (LInux MONitor) runs with and starts Linux with MMU
|
||||
off, I-cache enabled, D-cache disabled. The I-cache doesn't
|
||||
need hints from the MMU to work correctly as the D-cache
|
||||
does. No D-cache means no special code to handle devices in
|
||||
the presence of cache (no snooping, etc). The use of the
|
||||
I-cache means that the monitor can run acceptably fast
|
||||
directly from ROM, rather than having to copy it to RAM.
|
||||
|
||||
- Build the board information structure (see
|
||||
include/asm-ppc/est8260.h for its definition)
|
||||
|
||||
- The compressed Linux kernel (zImage) contains a bootstrap loader
|
||||
that is position independent; you can load it into any RAM,
|
||||
ROM or FLASH memory address >= 0x00500000 (above 5 MB), or
|
||||
at its link address of 0x00400000 (4 MB).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: If zImage is loaded at its link address of 0x00400000 (4 MB),
|
||||
then zImage will skip the step of moving itself to
|
||||
its link address.
|
||||
|
||||
- Load R3 with the address of the board information structure
|
||||
|
||||
- Transfer control to zImage
|
||||
|
||||
- The Linux console port is SMC1, and the baud rate is controlled
|
||||
from the bi_baudrate field of the board information structure.
|
||||
On thing to keep in mind when picking the baud rate, is that
|
||||
there is no flow control on the SMC ports. I would stick
|
||||
with something safe and standard like 19200.
|
||||
|
||||
On the EST SBC8260, the SMC1 port is on the COM1 connector of
|
||||
the board.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
EST SBC8260 defaults:
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Chip
|
||||
Memory Sel Bus Use
|
||||
--------------------- --- --- ----------------------------------
|

0x00000000-0x03FFFFFF CS2 60x (16M or 64M)/64M SDRAM
|
||||
0x04000000-0x04FFFFFF CS4 local 4M/16M SDRAM (soldered to the board)
|
||||
0x21000000-0x21000000 CS7 60x 1B/64K Flash present detect (from the flash SIMM)
|

|
||||
0x22000000-0x2200FFFF CS5 60x 8K/64K EEPROM
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
- The chip selects can map 32K blocks and up (powers of 2)
|
||||
|
||||
- The SDRAM machine can handled up to 128Mbytes per chip select
|
||||
|
||||
- Linux uses the 60x bus memory (the SDRAM DIMM) for the
|
||||
communications buffers.
|
||||
|
||||
- BATs can map 128K-256Mbytes each. There are four data BATs and
|
||||
four instruction BATs. Generally the data and instruction BATs
|
||||
are mapped the same.
|
||||
|
||||
- The IMMR must be set above the kernel virtual memory addresses,
|
||||
which start at 0xC0000000. Otherwise, the kernel may crash as
|
||||
soon as you start any threads or processes due to VM collisions
|
||||
in the kernel or user process space.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Details from Dan Malek <dan_malek@mvista.com> on 10/29/1999:
|
||||
|
||||
The user application virtual space consumes the first 2 Gbytes
|
||||
(0x00000000 to 0x7FFFFFFF). The kernel virtual text starts at
|
||||
0xC0000000, with data following. There is a "protection hole"
|
||||
between the end of kernel data and the start of the kernel
|
||||
dynamically allocated space, but this space is still within
|
||||
0xCxxxxxxx.
|
||||
|
||||
Obviously the kernel can't map any physical addresses 1:1 in
|
||||
these ranges.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Details from Dan Malek <dan_malek@mvista.com> on 5/19/2000:
|
||||
|
||||
During the early kernel initialization, the kernel virtual
|
||||
memory allocator is not operational. Prior to this KVM
|
||||
initialization, we choose to map virtual to physical addresses
|
||||
1:1. That is, the kernel virtual address exactly matches the
|
||||
physical address on the bus. These mappings are typically done
|
||||
in arch/ppc/kernel/head.S, or arch/ppc/mm/init.c. Only
|
||||
absolutely necessary mappings should be done at this time, for
|
||||
example board control registers or a serial uart. Normal device
|
||||
driver initialization should map resources later when necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
Although platform dependent, and certainly the case for embedded
|
||||
8xx, traditionally memory is mapped at physical address zero,
|
||||
and I/O devices above physical address 0x80000000. The lowest
|
||||
and highest (above 0xf0000000) I/O addresses are traditionally
|
||||
used for devices or registers we need to map during kernel
|
||||
initialization and prior to KVM operation. For this reason,
|
||||
and since it followed prior PowerPC platform examples, I chose
|
||||
to map the embedded 8xx kernel to the 0xc0000000 virtual address.
|
||||
This way, we can enable the MMU to map the kernel for proper
|
||||
operation, and still map a few windows before the KVM is operational.
|
||||
|
||||
On some systems, you could possibly run the kernel at the
|
||||
0x80000000 or any other virtual address. It just depends upon
|
||||
mapping that must be done prior to KVM operational. You can never
|
||||
map devices or kernel spaces that overlap with the user virtual
|
||||
space. This is why default IMMR mapping used by most BDM tools
|
||||
won't work. They put the IMMR at something like 0x10000000 or
|
||||
0x02000000 for example. You simply can't map these addresses early
|
||||
in the kernel, and continue proper system operation.
|
||||
|
||||
The embedded 8xx/82xx kernel is mature enough that all you should
|
||||
need to do is map the IMMR someplace at or above 0xf0000000 and it
|
||||
should boot far enough to get serial console messages and KGDB
|
||||
connected on any platform. There are lots of other subtle memory
|
||||
management design features that you simply don't need to worry
|
||||
about. If you are changing functions related to MMU initialization,
|
||||
you are likely breaking things that are known to work and are
|
||||
heading down a path of disaster and frustration. Your changes
|
||||
should be to make the flexibility of the processor fit Linux,
|
||||
not force arbitrary and non-workable memory mappings into Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
- You don't want to change KERNELLOAD or KERNELBASE, otherwise the
|
||||
virtual memory and MMU code will get confused.
|
||||
|
||||
arch/ppc/Makefile:KERNELLOAD = 0xc0000000
|
||||
|
||||
include/asm-ppc/page.h:#define PAGE_OFFSET 0xc0000000
|
||||
include/asm-ppc/page.h:#define KERNELBASE PAGE_OFFSET
|
||||
|
||||
- RAM is at physical address 0x00000000, and gets mapped to
|
||||
virtual address 0xC0000000 for the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Physical addresses used by the Linux kernel:
|
||||
--------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
0x00000000-0x3FFFFFFF 1GB reserved for RAM
|
||||
0xF0000000-0xF001FFFF 128K IMMR 64K used for dual port memory,
|
||||
64K for 8260 registers
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Logical addresses used by the Linux kernel:
|
||||
-------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
0xF0000000-0xFFFFFFFF 256M BAT0 (IMMR: dual port RAM, registers)
|
||||
0xE0000000-0xEFFFFFFF 256M BAT1 (I/O space for custom boards)
|
||||
0xC0000000-0xCFFFFFFF 256M BAT2 (RAM)
|
||||
0xD0000000-0xDFFFFFFF 256M BAT3 (if RAM > 256MByte)
