9 Initial conditions:
10 -------------------
11
12 Tasks that need to be perform by the boot ROM before control is
13 transferred to zImage (compressed Linux kernel):
14
15 - Define the IMMR to 0xf0000000
16
17 - Initialize the memory controller so that RAM is available at
18 physical address 0x00000000. On the SBC8260 is this 16M (64M)
19 SDRAM.
20
21 - The boot ROM should only clear the RAM that it is using.
22
23 The reason for doing this is to enhances the chances of a
24 successful post mortem on a Linux panic. One of the first
25 items to examine is the 16k (LOG_BUF_LEN) circular console
26 buffer called log_buf which is defined in kernel/printk.c.
27
28 - To enhance boot ROM performance, the I-cache can be enabled.

32
33 LiMon (LInux MONitor) runs with and starts Linux with MMU
34 off, I-cache enabled, D-cache disabled. The I-cache doesn't
35 need hints from the MMU to work correctly as the D-cache
36 does. No D-cache means no special code to handle devices in
37 the presence of cache (no snooping, etc). The use of the
38 I-cache means that the monitor can run acceptably fast
39 directly from ROM, rather than having to copy it to RAM.
40
41 - Build the board information structure (see
42 include/asm-ppc/est8260.h for its definition)
43
44 - The compressed Linux kernel (zImage) contains a bootstrap loader
45 that is position independent; you can load it into any RAM,
46 ROM or FLASH memory address >= 0x00500000 (above 5 MB), or
47 at its link address of 0x00400000 (4 MB).
48
49 Note: If zImage is loaded at its link address of 0x00400000 (4 MB),
50 then zImage will skip the step of moving itself to
51 its link address.
52
53 - Load R3 with the address of the board information structure
54
55 - Transfer control to zImage
56
57 - The Linux console port is SMC1, and the baud rate is controlled
58 from the bi_baudrate field of the board information structure.
59 On thing to keep in mind when picking the baud rate, is that
60 there is no flow control on the SMC ports. I would stick
61 with something safe and standard like 19200.
62
63 On the EST SBC8260, the SMC1 port is on the COM1 connector of
64 the board.

72 --------------------- --- --- ----------------------------------
73 0x00000000-0x03FFFFFF CS2 60x (16M or 64M)/64M SDRAM
74 0x04000000-0x04FFFFFF CS4 local 4M/16M SDRAM (soldered to the board)
75 0x21000000-0x21000000 CS7 60x 1B/64K Flash present detect (from the flash SIMM)
76 0x21000001-0x21000001 CS7 60x 1B/64K Switches (read) and LEDs (write)

78 0xFC000000-0xFCFFFFFF CS6 60x 2M/16M flash (8 bits wide, soldered to the board)
79 0xFE000000-0xFFFFFFFF CS0 60x 4M/16M flash (SIMM)
80
81 Notes:
82 ------
83
84 - The chip selects can map 32K blocks and up (powers of 2)
85
86 - The SDRAM machine can handled up to 128Mbytes per chip select
87
88 - Linux uses the 60x bus memory (the SDRAM DIMM) for the
89 communications buffers.
90
91 - BATs can map 128K-256Mbytes each. There are four data BATs and
92 four instruction BATs. Generally the data and instruction BATs
93 are mapped the same.
94
95 - The IMMR must be set above the kernel virtual memory addresses,
96 which start at 0xC0000000. Otherwise, the kernel may crash as
97 soon as you start any threads or processes due to VM collisions
98 in the kernel or user process space.
99
100
101 Details from Dan Malek <dan_malek@mvista.com> on 10/29/1999:
102
103 The user application virtual space consumes the first 2 Gbytes
104 (0x00000000 to 0x7FFFFFFF). The kernel virtual text starts at
105 0xC0000000, with data following. There is a "protection hole"
106 between the end of kernel data and the start of the kernel
107 dynamically allocated space, but this space is still within
108 0xCxxxxxxx.
109
110 Obviously the kernel can't map any physical addresses 1:1 in
111 these ranges.
112
113
114 Details from Dan Malek <dan_malek@mvista.com> on 5/19/2000:
115
116 During the early kernel initialization, the kernel virtual
117 memory allocator is not operational. Prior to this KVM
118 initialization, we choose to map virtual to physical addresses
119 1:1. That is, the kernel virtual address exactly matches the
120 physical address on the bus. These mappings are typically done
121 in arch/ppc/kernel/head.S, or arch/ppc/mm/init.c. Only
122 absolutely necessary mappings should be done at this time, for
123 example board control registers or a serial uart. Normal device
124 driver initialization should map resources later when necessary.
125
126 Although platform dependent, and certainly the case for embedded
127 8xx, traditionally memory is mapped at physical address zero,
128 and I/O devices above physical address 0x80000000. The lowest
129 and highest (above 0xf0000000) I/O addresses are traditionally
130 used for devices or registers we need to map during kernel
131 initialization and prior to KVM operation. For this reason,
132 and since it followed prior PowerPC platform examples, I chose
133 to map the embedded 8xx kernel to the 0xc0000000 virtual address.
134 This way, we can enable the MMU to map the kernel for proper
135 operation, and still map a few windows before the KVM is operational.
136
137 On some systems, you could possibly run the kernel at the
138 0x80000000 or any other virtual address. It just depends upon
139 mapping that must be done prior to KVM operational. You can never
140 map devices or kernel spaces that overlap with the user virtual
141 space. This is why default IMMR mapping used by most BDM tools
142 won't work. They put the IMMR at something like 0x10000000 or
143 0x02000000 for example. You simply can't map these addresses early
144 in the kernel, and continue proper system operation.
145
146 The embedded 8xx/82xx kernel is mature enough that all you should
147 need to do is map the IMMR someplace at or above 0xf0000000 and it
148 should boot far enough to get serial console messages and KGDB
149 connected on any platform. There are lots of other subtle memory
150 management design features that you simply don't need to worry
151 about. If you are changing functions related to MMU initialization,
152 you are likely breaking things that are known to work and are
153 heading down a path of disaster and frustration. Your changes
154 should be to make the flexibility of the processor fit Linux,
155 not force arbitrary and non-workable memory mappings into Linux.
156
157 - You don't want to change KERNELLOAD or KERNELBASE, otherwise the
158 virtual memory and MMU code will get confused.
159
160 arch/ppc/Makefile:KERNELLOAD = 0xc0000000
161
162 include/asm-ppc/page.h:#define PAGE_OFFSET 0xc0000000
163 include/asm-ppc/page.h:#define KERNELBASE PAGE_OFFSET
164
165 - RAM is at physical address 0x00000000, and gets mapped to
166 virtual address 0xC0000000 for the kernel.
