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 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.
