[U-Boot-Users] new cpu directory

[Dylandrea Young]

Hello, all,
   
  I am going to port U-boot to a Freescale MPC5121e based board. The MPC5121e uses the e300 CPU core based on the PowerPC instruction set.  I checked u-boot cpu directory and found there are bunch of cpu specific subdirectories. Anyone happens to know that one of the subdirectory is suit for e300 CPU? If there is no any existing cpu directory for e300 CPU core, I guess I have to create a new cpu directory and write associate cpu specific files. 
   
  Thanks,
   
  Dna

cpu/mpc83xx is for the 83xx SOCs, all of which have an e300 core.

And new board ports should be placed under

    boards/freescale

now too!

while that's true, I believe cpu/mpc5xxx is better suited for the 5121
CPU.

Does this apply only to boards manufactured by Freescale, or all
Freescale part based boards (the poster didn't specify which in this
case).  I thought it was the former.

The board I am working on is manufactured by Freescale. 
   
  Is the boards/freescale directory existing? I couldn't find it from U-boot-1_2_0 downloaded from denx.de.

[U-Boot-Users] new cpu directory

[Dylandrea Young]

I know Freescale MPC5200, MPC5100 are based on 603e core. But the new MPC5121e chip is based on e300 core. That is what confused me. Should I go with cpu/mpc83xx or cpu/mpc5xxx? Or it doesn't matter since I don't need to touch the files in those two directories?

Maybe I should know this answer to this already, but what board is it?

1.2 is old.  You need to look at the latest code in the git repository.

Kim, maybe we should rename cpu/mpc83xx to cpu/e300 and make it generic to all e300 cores? 
    The alternative is to mix e300 and 603e code in cpu/mpc5xxx.

Are there other 51xx chips with an e300 core?

You should definitely start with a clean clone of
the master repository off of denx.de then, and not
a tar-ball release.  The 1.2.0 release was quiet some
time ago now.  And yes, there is no boards/freescale
directory in it like there is in the current top of
repository on denx.de.  And yes, if it is a Freescale
board, it goes in boards/freescale now.

May I ask which one? Who is the manufacturer?

You probably can use a lot of stuff from  the  5xxx  directory,  plus
parts  and  pieces from here and there. At the moment I don;t see the
need for a new CPU directory.

... assuming it's a Freescale board, that is.

"e300" is just the latest name for the 603 line of processors.  I
think Kim was correct to point you toward cpu/mpc5xxx.  I'll let he
and the 5xxx people work out whether there's redundancy between the
two directories that could be eliminated.
