    walnut - IBM PPC405GP EVB


IBM PPC405GP EVB

INTRODUCTION

    This reference entry provides board-specific information necessary to run
    VxWorks for the walnut (IBM PPC405GP) BSP. Before using a board with
    VxWorks, verify that the board runs in the factory configuration by using
    vendor-supplied ROMs and jumper settings and checking the RS-232
    connection. This BSP supports the PowerPC 405GP Rev D and Rev E parts. Rev
    B and Rev C support is deprecated; support remains as in original release,
    but has not been validated nor upgraded for this release. Rev A parts are
    no longer supported with this release.
 Boot ROMs
    The IBM 405GP Evaluation Board uses a single VxWorks-supplied AMD Am29F040
    ROM (total 512KB). Install the ROM as follows:
    ROM  Socket
    -----------
    -    U27
    The BSP supports the NVRAM (Dallas Semiconductor DS1743) on the walnut
    board. The boot parameters will be preserved when the system is powered
    off.

HARDWARE DETAILS

    This section documents the details of the device drivers and board hardware
    elements.
 Devices
    The chip drivers used by this BSP are:
    It also provides DCR access routines for the following functional units:
      - IBM DMA controller
     - IBM external bus controller
     - IBM Memory Access Layer (MAL)
     - IBM SDRAM controller
     - IBM Universal Int Controller (UIC)
 Memory Maps
    This BSP supports MMU on the PPC405GP processor. Memory is mapped using a
    fixed page size of 4K.
    The sysPhysMemDesc[] array in sysLib.c is used to initialize the Page Table
    Entry (PTE) array used by the MMU to translate addresses with single page
    (4k) granularity. Address translations for local RAM, memory mapped PCI
    bus, memory mapped IO space and local PROM/FLASH are set here. PTEs are
    held in a 2-level page table. There is one Level 1 page table and several
    Level 2 page tables. The size of the Level 1 table is 4K and the size of
    each Level 2 page table is 8K. Each Level 2 table can map up to 4MB of
    contiguous memory space.
 Calculating size of page table required
    For the following memory map we can calculate the page table size required
    as follows:
    Memory Area    Address Range Mapped   Size  Number of Level 2 pages
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Local Memory   0 - Ram size           32MB  8
    PCI Memory     0x80000000-0x83FFFFFF  64MB  16
    PCI IO Regn 1  0xE8000000-0xE800FFFF  64K   1
    PCI IO Regn 2  0xE8800000-0xE88FFFFF  1MB   1
    PCI CFG        0xEEC00000-0xEEC00FFF  4K    1
    PCI IACK       0xEED00000-0xEED00FFF  4K    0 *
    PP Bridge      0xEF400000-0xEF400FFF  4K    1
    UART IO Space  0xEF600000-0xEF600FFF  4K    0 *
    NVRAM Space    0xF0000000-0xF0001FFF  8K    1
    Flash          0xFFF80000-0xFFFFFFFF  512K  1
     * included in previous L2 page
     Total # of L2 pages = 30
     Total Memory Required for page table = 30 * 8 + 4 = 244 K.
    By default, to increase performance the instruction MMU (IMMU) is turned
    off. In this case, instruction cacheability is controlled by ICCR (which by
    default is set to cache all RAM). The IMMU can be re-enabled by defining
    USER_I_MMU_ENABLE in config.h.
 Serial Configuration
    The default configuration of the serial ports are 9600bps, 8 data bits, no
    parity, 1 stop bit.
 Network Configuration
    The Enhanced Network Driver (END) used with the integrated EMAC Ethernet
    core is "ibmEmacEnd": Note that the boot device name is now "emac", rather
    than "ibmEmac". The EMAC works at either 10Mbps or 100Mbps. EMAC gets the
    results of the PHY's auto-negotiation process over the MII interface.
    board. This controller uses the ln97xEnd driver provided with VxWorks.
    The Ethernet hardware address is configurable at run-time. The first three
    bytes of the address are always assumed to be 0x0004AC (IBM) and the last
    three bytes are configurable and stored in NVRAM at address 0xF0000500. To
    make the ethernet hardware address match the address printed on the decal
    attached to the Walnut board use the following example as a guide.
    Ethernet hardware address on the Walnut board decal: 0004AC3E4B22
     - boot VxWorks
     - execute the following command from the shell:
             sysLanIbmEmacEnetAddrSet 0x00, 0x04, 0xAC, 0x3E, 0x4B, 0x22
 Supported BootRom builds
    The following bootrom file types are supported in this release. When using
    a Rev B or Rev C processor (which are deprecated), the patch405b.exe or
    patch405c.exe tool must be run on the entire ELF file. If a compressed
    bootrom is built, this is not possible.
    bootrom_uncmp      (405GP Rev B (deprecated), C (deprecated), D, E)
    bootrom_uncmp.hex  (405GP Rev B (deprecated), C (deprecated), or D, E)
    bootrom            (405GP Rev D, E only)
    bootrom.hex        (405GP Rev D, E only)
    ** Note: bootrom builds are only supported through the command line
    makefiles -- do not use the project mechanism to build a boot ROM.
    For PPC405GP_REVB (deprecated):
    A batch file has been provided that will post-process the bootrom_uncmp
    file. After bootrom_uncmp is built, run the bootrrb.bat file. bootrrb.bat
    will modify bootrom_uncmp and will create a new bootrom_uncmp.hex.
    For PPC405GP_REVC (deprecated):
    A batch file has been provided that will post-process the bootrom_uncmp
    file. After bootrom_uncmp is built, run the bootrrc.bat file. bootrrc.bat
    will modify bootrom_uncmp and will create a new bootrom_uncmp.hex.
    For PPC405GP_REVD_OR_E:
    It is not necessary to post-process the bootrom files when using the 405GP
    Rev D or E processor.
    For all processor revisions:
    The standard uncompressed ROM and ROM-resident project configuration are
    not supplied because they will not fit in the bootrom.
 Creating a bootrom, and bringing up vxWorks
    Create a bootrom by either
     a) Rebuilding bootrom_uncmp.hex image and programming it into an
     AMD 29F040 flash part using the following steps:
     - For PPC405GP_REVD_OR_E
             - make bootrom_uncmp.hex or bootrom.hex
     b) If you have a JTAG RISCWatch processor probe, you can use
        vx_rw_flash.cmd to program the flash part (see below).
    Connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the board (the 9 pin connector
    closest to the printed circuit board). Emulator parameters should be set to
    9600bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. Power-up the board, you should
    get an error because the default boot line in config.h is not 100% correct
    for your environment. Type in new configuration parameters using the
    bootrom menu (set boot device : emac). Your new configuration will be
    stored in the NVRAM.
 Workbench bootrom flash programming utility
     a) Install the WindRiver ICE and power it on.
     Connect the JTAG interface cable from the Wind River ICE to the
     PPC405GP board JTAG connector (J24 located on the CPU card). When all
     of the connections have been made, power up the target board and
     create a Wind River ICE connection in Workbench.
     b) Configure the Workbench connection.
     When creating the connection, specify the PPC405GP CPU.
     Enter the IP address of the Wind River ICE when requested.
     c) Load the proper PPC405GP register setting for WindRiver ICE.
     Once you have connected the probe to the CPU, right-click on the
     connection in the target manager and attach to the CPU core. At
     this point, you can go to the main Workbench Window tab at the top
     of the view and select "show view". Browse the view list and select
     OCD Command Shell. This launches the original BKM command shell.
     Navigate to the target manager and right-click on core(405GP). Select
     the reset tab. You can now put the register file provided by
            the installation in "play register file" (for example, 
            registers/PowerPC/4xx/IBM/405gp.reg). Reset with IN then click the 
            reset download button. You have now loaded the target board with 
            enough settings to program the boot ROM. Close the Reset and 
            Download window after the register file playback finishes.
            Select "Window > show view" again and select Flash Programmer.
     d) Converting the bootrom.hex file to bootrom.bin.
     Select the Add/Remove tab in the flash programmer. Click
     "convert file" and navigate to the boot loader project you created
     previously e.g. WindRiver\workspace\PPC405BootProj\bootrom.hex.
     Select the project. The start address should be 0x0 and the end
     address should be set to 0xffffffff. Click "convert and add" to convert
     the file.
             At this point, the file is added to the list. Click on the start
     address entry (should be 0x0) and change it to 0xfff80000. The file
     is now ready for programming.
     e) Program the PPC405GP flash.
    "Erase/Program".
     Go to OCD command shell and type IN. Be sure this returns the BKM
 RISCWatch bootrom flash programming utility
    An IBM RISCWatch based command file (vx_rw_flash.cmd) is provided that will
    program bootrom_uncmp.hex into the AMD Am29F040 flash part on the Walnut
    board. A RISCWatch JTAG processor probe and RISCWatch software version 4.5
    or newer is required to use this utility.


NOTE

    The vx_rw_flash.cmd utility may need modification if you use a different
    SDRAM DIMM than was shipped with the Walnut board (see notes inside
    vx_rw_flash.cmd).
    To use this utility,
      - make bootrom_uncmp via the command line interface (not with the IDE).
      - Run the bootrr_.bat batch file for the correct processor revision.
     This step will create a patched version of bootrom_uncmp.hex
     NOTE: The manual step of adding the branch instruction to
     bootrom_uncmp.hex is NOT necessary if using this utility!
      - Start IBM JTAG RISCWatch
      - Make sure that the RISCWatch search path is set up to find files
     in the Walnut BSP directory. One way to do this is to execute the
     following RISCWatch command:
        srchpath add c:\WR\VxWorks\target\config\walnut
      - Execute the following command to start the flash programming process.
     This example will place the bootrom_uncmp.hex file into the flash.
        exec vx_rw_flash.cmd {"bootrom_uncmp.hex"}


SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

 PowerPC 405GP Rev A (PVR = 0x40110000)
    This initial hardware sample is no longer supported.
 PowerPC 405GP Rev B (PVR = 0x40110040) errata
    There are errata in the 405GP Rev B chip that affect the operation of this
    Board Support Package. You should familiarize yourself with them. A current
    405GP errata list is available from the PowerPC Technical support group
    (ppcsupp@us.ibm.com). To avoid 405GP Rev B errata a tool patch405b.exe has
    been included. This tool searches an ELF executable file (output of the
    linker) for certain patterns of instructions related to the above errata.
    If it finds a potential problem, it uses reserved space provided by
    patchtblb.s to create a "patch" which will avoid the errata. The patch
    table is allocated inside of sysALib.s because it includes patchtblb.s.
    If you are using a 405GP Rev B be sure to define PPC405GP_REVB in config.h.
 PowerPC 405GP Rev C (PVR = 0x40110082) errata
    There are errata in the 405GP Rev C chip that affect the operation of this
    Board Support Package. You should familiarize yourself with them. A current
    405GP errata list is available from the PowerPC Technical support group
    (ppcsupp@us.ibm.com). To avoid 405GP Rev C errata a tool patch405c.exe has
    been included. This tool searches an ELF executable file (output of the
    linker) for certain patterns of instructions related to the above errata.
    If it finds a potential problem, it uses reserved space provided by
    patchtblc.s to create a "patch" which will avoid the errata. The patch
    If you are using a 405GP Rev D be sure to define PPC405GP_REVD_OR_E in
    config.h.
 PowerPC 405GP Rev E (PVR = 0x40110145) errata
