- * EST SBC8260 Linux memory mapping rules
-
- http://www.estc.com/
- http://www.estc.com/products/boards/SBC8260-8240_ds.html
-
- 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.

- From: Neil Russell <caret@c-side.com>
-
- 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)
- 0x21000001-0x21000001 CS7 60x 1B/64K Switches (read) and LEDs (write)
- 0x22000000-0x2200FFFF CS5 60x 8K/64K EEPROM
- 0xFC000000-0xFCFFFFFF CS6 60x 2M/16M flash (8 bits wide, soldered to the board)
- 0xFE000000-0xFFFFFFFF CS0 60x 4M/16M flash (SIMM)
-
- 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)
