Redboot - Cirrus EP9315 and Spansion S29GL512N problem

Redboot - Cirrus EP9315 and Spansion S29GL512N problem

[Hasjim Williams]

Hello everyone,

I'm having problems getting my ARM920T based EP9315 board to work with
64MB flash.  We have 64MB of RAM onboard.  We previously had S29GL128N
and S29GL256N parts on the board, and haven't been able to get Redboot
to boot up correctly with the S29GL512N.  It works fine with the
S29GL256N or S29GL128N still.

As soon as it boots up, it spits out this error message, constantly:

#dd$T0a0f:f06a0100;0d:f07e0400;#dd$T0a0f:f06a0100;0d:f07e0400;
#dd$T0a0f:f06a0100;0d:f07e0400;#dd$T0a0f:f06a0100;0d:f07e0400;

Can anyone suggest anything that I'm missing:

packages/devs/flash/arm/edb9312/current/cdl/flash_edb9312_a_amd.cdl:

    requires      CYGHWR_DEVS_FLASH_AMD_S29GL128N
    requires      CYGHWR_DEVS_FLASH_AMD_S29GL256N
    requires      CYGHWR_DEVS_FLASH_AMD_S29GL512N

packages/hal/arm/arm9/ep93xx/current/include/conf/mlt_arm9_edb9315a_romram.ldi:

{
    ram : ORIGIN = 0, LENGTH = 0x10000000
    rom : ORIGIN = 0x60000000, LENGTH = 0x8000000
}

packages/hal/arm/arm9/ep93xx/current/include/conf/mlt_arm9_edb9315a_romram.h:

Thanks for any suggestions,

hi !

i have worked for a company where ep93xx and spansion flashes are used, please 
look at http://dev.contec.at, there i have made a redboot bootloader which 
can handle such flashes, but i have used flash_v2 branche, so it will not 
help u.

this things i have only seen if the mmu is set up wrong, so maybe it helps 
check your mmu settings in redboot. maybe the 512 chip adresses obverlap 
somewhere...

Re: Redboot - Cirrus EP9315 and Spansion S29GL512N problem

[Hasjim Williams]

We're still having problems...

Is there anywhere else in the code that I need to be looking?

Re: Redboot - Cirrus EP9315 and Spansion S29GL512N problem

[Manfred Gruber]

hi !

IMHO, there were 2 version from cirrus of the bootloader, one where the mmu 
tables were set up in C code and one version where mmu tables where set up in 
asm code.

i used the asm version, hal_platform_setup.h --> BuildPagetable:
do not use my version on dev.contec.at because i have added some asm code 
which detects which flash is connected.

but in BuildPagetable, IMHO in r2 the size of the flash has to be set:

    //
    // Create a read-write mapping of FLASH at virtual address 0x6000_0000.
    //
    add     r1, r0, #0x00001800
#if defined(HAL_PLATFORM_EP9301) || defined(HAL_PLATFORM_EP9302) 
    mov     r2, #0x00000040
#else 
    mov     r2, #0x00000080
#endif 
    orr     r3, r12, #0x00000012
    orr     r3, r3, #0x00000c00

and

    //
    // Create a read-write mapping of FLASH at virtual address 0xe000_0000.
    //
    add     r1, r0, #0x00003800
#if defined(HAL_PLATFORM_EP9301) || defined(HAL_PLATFORM_EP9302) 
    mov     r2, #0x00000040
#else 
    mov     r2, #0x00000080
#endif 
    orr     r3, r12, #0x00000012

then in the ldi file you have to change the rom things for your flash, IMHO, i 
am not sure if this is necessare to change for every flash:
/ecos/packages/hal/arm/arm9/ep93xx/current/include/pkgconf/ldi_file

    rom : ORIGIN = 0x10000000, LENGTH = 0x4000000

and:

in /ecos/packages/hal/arm/arm9/ep93xx/current/src/ep93xx_misc.c:
there you have change the adresses for your flash...

so, as far as i know that has to be it, sorry for not writing this before, but 
i had also to look in my code which i have written 2 years ago, and sorry i 
have forgoten it, what all has to be changed... 

@Hasjim Williams, send me your icq, skype or come to ecos irc channel, maybe i 
can help you...

so regards, greetings from austria
