global scale sheevaplug & guruplug marvell 88f6281 (feroceon kirkwood) SoC arm926ej-s rev 1 [56251311] (armv5tejl) 1.2GHz cpu l1 I & D VIVT caches 16K each: 4-way, 128 sets, 32-byte lines l1 D is write-through, l1 I is write-back unified l2 PIPT cache 256K: 4-way, 2048 sets, 32-byte lines potentially 512K: 8-way apparently the mmu walks the page tables in dram and won't look in the l2 cache. there is no hardware cache coherence, thus the l1 caches need to be flushed or invalidated when mmu mappings change, but l2 only needs to be flushed or invalidated around dma operations and page table changes, and only the affected dma buffers and descriptors or page table entries need to be flushed or invalidated in l2. we arrange that device registers are uncached. be aware that cache operations act on cache lines (of CACHELINESZ bytes) as atomic units, so if you invalidate one word of a cache line, you invalidate the entire cache line, whether it's been written back (is clean) or not (is dirty). mixed data structures with parts maintained by hardware and other parts by software are especially tricky. we try to pad the initial hardware parts so that the software parts start in a new cache line. there are no video controllers so far, so this port is a cpu kernel only. 512MB of dram at physical address 0 512MB of nand flash 16550 uart for console see http://www.marvell.com/files/products/embedded_processors/kirkwood/\ FS_88F6180_9x_6281_OpenSource.pdf, stored locally as /public/doc/marvell/88f61xx.kirkwood.pdf If you plan to use flash, it would be wise to avoid touching the first megabyte, which contains u-boot, right up to 0x100000. There's a linux kernel from there to 0x400000, if you care. You'll also likely want to use paqfs rather than fossil or kfs for file systems in flash since there is no wear-levelling. The code is fairly heavy-handed with the use of barrier instructions (BARRIERS in assembler, coherence in C), partly in reaction to bad experience doing Power PC ports, but also just as precautions against modern processors, which may feel free to execute instructions out of order or some time later, store to memory out of order or some time later, otherwise break the model of traditional sequential processors, or any combination of the above. this plan 9 port is based on the port of native inferno to the sheevaplug by Salva Peiró (saoret.one@gmail.com) and Mechiel Lukkien (mechiel@ueber.net). ___ # type this once at u-boot, replacing 00504301c49e with your plug's # mac address; thereafter the plug will pxe boot: setenv bootdelay 2 setenv bootcmd 'bootp; bootp; tftp 0x1000 /cfg/pxe/00504301c49e; bootp; tftp 0x800000; go 0x800000' saveenv # see /cfg/pxe/example-kw physical mem map hex addr size what ---- 0 512MB sdram 80000000 512MB pcie mem # default c8010000 2K cesa sram d0000000 1MB internal regs default address at reset d8000000 128MB nand flash # actually 512MB addressed through this e8000000 128MB spi serial flash f0000000 128MB boot rom # default f0000000 16MB pcie io # mapped from 0xc0000000 by u-boot f1000000 1MB internal regs as mapped by u-boot f1000000 64K dram regs f1010000 64K uart, flashes, rtc, gpio, etc. f1030000 64K crypto accelerator (cesa) f1040000 64K pci-e regs f1050000 64K usb otg regs (ehci-like) f1070000 64K gbe regs f1080000 64K non-ahci sata regs f1090000 64K sdio regs f8000000 128MB boot device # default, mapped to 0 by u-boot f8000000 16MB spi flash # mapped by u-boot f9000000 8MB nand flash # on sheeva/openrd, mapped by u-boot fb000000 64KB crypto engine ff000000 16MB boot rom # u-boot virtual mem map hex addr size what ---- 0 512MB user process address space 60000000 kzero, mapped to 0 90000000 256MB pcie mem # mapped by u-boot c0000000 64KB pcie i/o # mapped by u-boot ... as per physical map
