[ECOS] Bug for Cirrus Logic EDB7XXX??

[honda]

Hi,

     In the file
packages\hal\arm\edb7xxx\current\include\hal_platform_setup.h, a statement
'#ifdef CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_EDB7209' is find, but it never be defined. Is it a
bug?

No.  This is one of the symbols which would be defined by the ConfigTool.

So, suppose I choose the EP7209 as the processor, the symbol should be
declared, am I right?
I've done the following test,

     1. choose EP7209 as the processor for EDB7xxxx,
     2. add "#error EP7209" under "#ifdef CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_EDB7209"
     3. compile the project.
But it never produce the error.
Also, I check the system.h that generated by the ConfigTool, only
CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_EDB7xxx is defined.

Indeed this symbol isn't defined by the configuration tool. It should be
#ifdef CYGHWR_HAL_ARM_EDB7XXX_VARIANT_EP7209

But we may have a terminology problem here. We previously somehow
understood that the EP7209 had no DRAM controller. But according to
http://www.cirrus.com/design/products/overview/index.cfm?DivisionID=6&SubdivisionID=28&ProductID=109
it clearly does. Gary, comments?

I don't see any mention of a DRAM controller on that page.  It does
mention that it has a memory controller for up to six memory segments
which support ROM, FLash and SRAM, but no DRAM.

AFAIK, the 7209 is a DRAM-less version of the 7212.

I'll change this BTW.

Oops. Sorry, you're right. I forgot that the board had SRAM.

Query: What is it on that page that makes you believe the 7209 has a DRAM 
controller? The document you reference above doesn't actually mention the 
acronym "DRAM" anywhere. The only memory types it specifically talks about 
are ROM, FLASH and SRAM.

The functional diagram on p.1 of the EP7209's data sheet (Dec 99, DS453PP2) 
does show A0..A27 also serving as DRA0..12 a la the 7212, implying the 
existence of a DRAM controller. However I think this is a "templating 
error". The EP7209 lacks a DRFPR register, at least documented, so the DRAM 
controller can't be supported, if it does exist on chip.

The truly interesting thing is that the EDB7209 development kit brief 
states that the board has an EP7209 and 16Mb of EDO DRAM. In which case, I 
don't see any difference between the EP7209 and the EP7212.

That is correct. I think they might have had some differences on the DAI
circuitry too, but i can't remember at the moment.
