parent a67d2586
Board Overview
-----------------------------
This is an beta release of the Xscale Linux port to the ADI 80200EVB
evaluation board.
The 80200EVB is an evaluation platform for ADI Engineering's high-performance
80200FCC chipset for the Intel 80200 XScale CPU. The 80200FCC is an open
source FPGA based system that contains a PCI unit and a high performance
memory controller.
In addition to the 80200FCC, the board also contains a 16C550 UART, and 4MB
of flash.
The board is still under development and currently only the UART is functional
as the PCI bits have not been programmed into the FPGA.
For more information on the board, see http://www.adiengineering.com
Port Status
-----------------------------
Supported:
- Onboard UART (Polled operation only)
- Cache/TLB locking on 80200 CPU
TODO:
- PCI when hardware supports it
Building the Kernel
-----------------------------
change Linux makefile
make adi_evb_config
make oldconfig
make dep
make zImage
Loading Linux
-----------------------------
Before you can use Linux on the ADI board, you need to grab the following:
ADI 80200EVB Monitor:
ftp://source.mvista.com/pub/xscale/ADI_EVB/monitor.srec
ADI JFFS2 Image:
ftp://source.mvista.com/pub/xscale/ADI_EVB/adi.jffs2
Once you've got the Cygnus prompt, type in the following command:
load
On another terminal window:
cat monitor.srec > /dev/ttyS0
(replace ttyS0 with the serial port you are using)
Once completed, just type 'go' at the cygmon prompt and you should see:
MontaVista IQ80310 Monitor Version 0.1
monitor>
Type 'b 115200' at the prompt and change your terminal speed to 115200
The first thing to do is to upload and burn the jffs2 filesystem image
onto the boards 4MB of flash:
monitor> u c1000000
Uploading file at 0xc1000000
Now send file with ymodem
Do as the monitor says and transfer the file adi.jffs2. Once complete,
the following will copy the jffs2 image to location 0x80000 in the flash.
monitor> f 8000 c1000000 200000
Erasing sector 0x00080000
Writing sector 0x00080000 with data at 0xC1000000
Erasing sector 0x000A0000
Writing sector 0x000A0000 with data at 0xC1020000
Erasing sector 0x000C0000
...
Now use the same command as above to upload your zImage to location c1000000.
When you've done that, type 'j c1000000' to run Linux. Login as
root and you're all set to go.
Misc Notes
-----------------------------
The current version of the HW does not have an onboard timer, so the 80200
PMU is not available for general use as it is being used for a timer source.
By default, the MTD driver reserves the first 512K for bootloaders and
the remaining 3.5MB for the filesystem. You can edit drivers/mtd/map/adi_evb.c
to change this as needed for your application.

TODO:
- I2C
Building the Kernel
-----------------------------
make iq80310_config
make oldconfig
make dep
make zImage
This will build an image setup for BOOTP/NFS root support. To change this,
just run make menuconfig and disable nfs root or add a "root=" option.
Preparing the Hardware
-----------------------------
This document assumes you're using a Rev D or newer board running
Redboot as the bootloader.
The as-supplied RedBoot image appears to leave the first page of RAM
in a corrupt state such that certain words in that page are unwritable
and contain random data. The value of the data, and the location within
the first page changes with each boot, but is generally in the range
0xa0000150 to 0xa0000fff.
You can grab the source from the ECOS CVS or you can get a prebuilt image
from:
ftp://source.mvista.com/pub/xscale/iop310/IQ80310/redboot.bin
which is:
# strings redboot.bin | grep bootstrap
RedBoot(tm) bootstrap and debug environment, version UNKNOWN - built 14:58:21, Aug 15 2001
md5sum of this version:
bcb96edbc6f8e55b16c165930b6e4439 redboot.bin
You have two options to program it:
1. Using the FRU program (see the instructions in the user manual).
2. Using a Linux host, with MTD support built into the host kernel:
- ensure that the RedBoot image is not locked (issue the following
command under the existing RedBoot image):
RedBoot> fis unlock -f 0 -l 0x40000
- switch S3-1 and S3-2 on.
- reboot the host
- login as root
- identify the 80310 card:
# lspci
...
00:0c.1 Memory controller: Intel Corporation 80310 IOP [IO Processor] (rev 01)
- in this example, bus 0, slot 0c, function 1.
- insert the MTD modules, and the PCI map module:
# insmod drivers/mtd/maps/pci.o
- locate the MTD device (using the bus, slot, function)
# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00800000 00020000 "00:0c.1"
- in this example, it is mtd device 0. Yours will be different.
Check carefully.
- program the flash
# cat redboot.bin > /dev/mtdblock0
- check the kernel message log for errors (some cat commands don't
error on failure)
# dmesg
- switch S3-1 and S3-2 off
- reboot host
In any case, make sure you do an 'fis init' command once you boot with the new
RedBoot image.
Downloading Linux
-----------------------------
Assuming you have your development system setup to act as a bootp/dhcp
server and running tftp:
RedBoot> load -r -b 0xa1008000 /tftpboot/zImage.xs
Raw file loaded 0xa1008000-0xa1094bd8
If you're not using dhcp/tftp, you can use y-modem instead:
RedBoot> load -r -b 0xa1008000 -m y
Note that on Rev D. of the board, tftp does not work due to intermittent
interrupt issues, so you need to download using ymodem.
Once the download is completed:
RedBoot> go 0xa1008000
Root Devices
-----------------------------
A kernel is not useful without a root filesystem, and you have several
choices with this board: NFS root, RAMDISK, or JFFS/JFFS2. For development
purposes, it is suggested that you use NFS root for easy access to various
tools. Once you're ready to deploy, probably want to utilize JFFS/JFFS2 on
the flash device.
MTD on the IQ80310
-----------------------------
Linux on the IQ80310 supports RedBoot FIS paritioning if it is enabled.
Out of the box, once you've done 'fis init' on RedBoot, you will get
the following partitioning scheme:
root@192.168.0.14:~# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "RedBoot"
mtd1: 00040000 00020000 "RedBoot[backup]"
mtd2: 0075f000 00020000 "unallocated space"
mtd3: 00001000 00020000 "RedBoot config"
mtd4: 00020000 00020000 "FIS directory"
To create an FIS directory, you need to use the fis command in RedBoot.
As an example, you can burn the kernel into the flash once it's downloaded:
RedBoot> fis create -b 0xa1008000 -l 0x8CBAC -r 0xa1008000 -f 0x80000 kernel
... Erase from 0x00080000-0x00120000: .....
... Program from 0xa1008000-0xa1094bac at 0x00080000: .....
... Unlock from 0x007e0000-0x00800000: .
... Erase from 0x007e0000-0x00800000: .
... Program from 0xa1fdf000-0xa1fff000 at 0x007e0000: .
... Lock from 0x007e0000-0x00800000: .
RedBoot> fis list
Name FLASH addr Mem addr Length Entry point
RedBoot 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00040000 0x00000000
RedBoot[backup] 0x00040000 0x00040000 0x00040000 0x00000000
RedBoot config 0x007DF000 0x007DF000 0x00001000 0x00000000
FIS directory 0x007E0000 0x007E0000 0x00020000 0x00000000
kernel 0x00080000 0xA1008000 0x000A0000 0x00000000
This leads to the following Linux MTD setup:
mtroot@192.168.0.14:~# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "RedBoot"
mtd1: 00040000 00020000 "RedBoot[backup]"
mtd2: 000a0000 00020000 "kernel"
mtd3: 006bf000 00020000 "unallocated space"
mtd4: 00001000 00020000 "RedBoot config"
mtd5: 00020000 00020000 "FIS directory"
Note that there is not a 1:1 mapping to the number of RedBoot paritions to
MTD partitions as unused space also gets allocated into MTD partitions.
As an aside, the -r option when creating the Kernel entry allows you to
simply do an 'fis load kernel' to copy the image from flash into memory.
You can then do an 'fis go 0xa1008000' to start Linux.
If you choose to use static partitioning instead of the RedBoot partioning:
/dev/mtd0 0x00000000 - 0x0007ffff: Boot Monitor (512k)
/dev/mtd1 0x00080000 - 0x0011ffff: Kernel Image (640K)
/dev/mtd2 0x00120000 - 0x0071ffff: File System (6M)
/dev/mtd3 0x00720000 - 0x00800000: RedBoot Reserved (896K)
To use a JFFS1/2 root FS, you need to donwload the JFFS image using either
tftp or ymodem, and then copy it to flash:
RedBoot> load -r -b 0xa1000000 /tftpboot/jffs.img
Raw file loaded 0xa1000000-0xa1600000
RedBoot> fis create -b 0xa1000000 -l 0x600000 -f 0x120000 jffs
... Erase from 0x00120000-0x00720000: ..................................
... Program from 0xa1000000-0xa1600000 at 0x00120000: ..................
......................
... Unlock from 0x007e0000-0x00800000: .
... Erase from 0x007e0000-0x00800000: .
... Program from 0xa1fdf000-0xa1fff000 at 0x007e0000: .
... Lock from 0x007e0000-0x00800000: .
RedBoot> fis list

jffs 0x00120000 0x00120000 0x00600000 0x00000000
This looks like this in Linux:
root@192.168.0.14:~# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "RedBoot"
mtd1: 00040000 00020000 "RedBoot[backup]"
mtd2: 000a0000 00020000 "kernel"
mtd3: 00600000 00020000 "jffs"
mtd4: 000bf000 00020000 "unallocated space"
mtd5: 00001000 00020000 "RedBoot config"
mtd6: 00020000 00020000 "FIS directory"
You need to boot the kernel once and watch the boot messages to see how the
JFFS RedBoot partition mapped into the MTD partition scheme.
You can grab a pre-built JFFS image to use as a root file system at:
ftp://source.mvista.com/pub/xscale/iop310/IQ80310/jffs.img
For detailed info on using MTD and creating a JFFS image go to:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org.
For details on using RedBoot's FIS commands, type 'fis help' or consult
your RedBoot manual.

A few notes from rmk
-----------------------------
These are notes of my initial experience getting the IQ80310 Rev D up and
running. In total, it has taken many hours to work out what's going on...
The version of redboot used is:
RedBoot(tm) bootstrap and debug environment, version UNKNOWN - built 14:58:21, Aug 15 2001
1. I've had a corrupted download of the redboot.bin file from Montavista's
FTP site. It would be a good idea if there were md5sums, sum or gpg
signatures available to ensure the integrity of the downloaded files.
The result of this was an apparantly 100% dead card.
2. RedBoot Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 driver seems to be very unstable -
I've had it take out the whole of a 100mbit network for several minutes.
The Hub indiates ZERO activity, despite machines attempting to communicate.
Further to this, while tftping the kernel, the transfer will stall regularly,
and might even drop the link LED.
3. There appears to be a bug in the Intel Documentation Pack that comes with
the IQ80310 board. Serial port 1, which is the socket next to the LEDs
is address 0xfe810000, not 0xfe800000.
Note that RedBoot uses either serial port 1 OR serial port 2, so if you
have your console connected to the wrong port, you'll see redboot messages
but not kernel boot messages.
4. Trying to use fconfig to setup a boot script fails - it hangs when trying
to erase the flash.
