This directory contains board specific code for a generic MPC860T based
|
||
|
embedded computer, called 'GEN860T'. The design is generic in the sense that
|
||
|
common, readily available components are used and that the architecture of the
|
||
|
system is relatively straightforward:
|
||
|
|
||
|
One eight bit wide boot (FLASH) memory
|
||
|
32 bit main memory using SDRAM
|
||
|
DOC 2000+
|
||
|
Ethernet PHY
|
||
|
Some I2C peripheral devices: Atmel AT24C256 EEPROM, Maxim DS1337 RTC.
|
||
|
Some other miscellaneous peripherals
|
||
|
|
||
|
NOTE: There are references to a XIlinx FPGA and Mil-Std 1553 databus in this
|
||
|
port. I guess the computer is not as generic as I first said 8) However,
|
||
|
these extras can be safely ignored.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Given the GEN860T files, it should be pretty easy to reverse engineer the
|
||
|
hardware configuration, if that's useful to you. Hopefully, this code will
|
||
|
be useful to someone as a basis for a port to a new system or as a head start
|
||
|
on a custom design. If you end up using any of this, I would appreciate
|
||
|
hearing from you, especially if you discover bugs or find ways to improve the
|
||
|
quality of this U-Boot port.
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|

|
||
|
Size : 16 mibibytes
|
||
|

|
||

|
||

|
||
|

|
||
|
Size : 32 kibibytes
|
||
|
Chip : One Atmel AT25C256
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
Filesystem memory:
|
||
|
Type : NAND FLASH (Toshiba)
|
||
|
Width : 8 bits (i.e. interface to DOC is 8 bits)
|
||
|
Size : 32 mibibytes
|
||
|
Chip : One DiskOnCHip Millenium Plus (DOC 2000+)
|
||
|
CS : MPC860T CS2*/GPCM
|
||
|
|
||
|
Network support:
|
||
|
MAC : MPC86OT FEC (Fast Ethernet Controller)
|
||
|
PHY : Intel LXT971A
|
||
|
MII Addr: 0x0 (hardwired on the board)
|
||
|
MII IRQ :
|
||
|
|
||
|
Console:
|
||
|
RS-232 on SMC1 (Maxim MAX3232 LVCMOS-RS232 level shifter)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Real Time Clock:
|
||
|
Type : Low power, I2C interface
|
||
|
Chip : Maxim DS1337
|
||
|
CS : Address 0x68 on I2C bus
|
||
|
|
||
|
The MPC860T's internal RTC has a defect in Mask rev D that increases
|
||
|
the current drain on the KAPWR line to 10 mA. Since this is an
|
||
|
unreasonable amount of current draw for a RTC, and Motorola does not
|
||
|
plan to fix this in future mask revisions, a serial (I2C) RTC that
|
||
|
works has been included instead. NOTE that the DS1337 can be
|
||
|
configured to output a 32768 Hz clock while the main power is on.
|
||
|
This clock output has been routed to the MPC860T's EXTAL pin to allow
|
||
|
the internal RTC to be used. NOTE also that due to yet another
|
||
|
defect in the rev D mask, the RTC does not operate reliably when the
|
||
|
internal RTC divisor is set to use a 32768 Hz reference. So just use
|
||
|
the I2C RTC.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Miscellaneous:
|
||
|
Xilinx Virtex FPGA on CS3*/GPCM.
|
||
|
Virtex FPGA slave SelectMap interface on cs4*/UPMB.
|
||
|
Mil-Std 1553 databus interface on CS5*/GPCM.
|
||
|
Audio sounder (beeper) with digital volume control connected to SPKROUT.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SC variant:
|
||
|
A reduced-feature version of the GEN860T port is also supported: GEN860T_SC.
|
||
|
The 'SC' variant only provides support for the Virtex FPGA, SDRAM main
|
||
|
memory, EEPROM and flash memory. The system clock frequency is reduced
|
||
|
to 24 MHz.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Issues:
|
||
|
The DOC 2000+ returns 0x40 as its device ID when probed using the method
|
||
|
desxribed in the DOC datasheet. Unfortunately, the U-Boot DOC driver
|
||
|
does not recognize this device. As of this writing, it seems that MTD
|
||
|
does not support the DOC 2000+ either.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Status:
|
||
|
Everything appears to work except DOC support. As of this writing,
|
||
|
David Woodhouse has stated on the MTD mailing list that he has no
|
||
|
knowledge of the DOC Millineum Plus and therfore there is no support
|
||
|
in MTD for this device. I wish I had known this sooner :(
