[PATCH 0/1] ARM: dts: zynq: Prepare Parallella

[Andreas Färber]

Hello,

This patch adds an initial device tree for the Parallella board.
UART, SD card, Ethernet are enabled.
Not yet enabled are HDMI (FPGA, ADV7513), QSPI and 2x USB.

Where I'm a bit unsure is the PHY placement; placement as subnode of the 
GEM corresponds to what was in the downstream 3.12 based device tree. It 
is a separate chip on the board though, whereas GEM is on the SoC.

Regards,
Andreas

This should have a more specific compatible as the first one. Probably
something like:
   compatible = "adapteva,parallella", "xlnx,zynq-7000";

Does the bootloader update this entry, or is it truly static? If it's
updated then it's become recent habit to leave the memory size empty
in the static file.

A bit more torn on this one, I'm OK with it staying in even if
firmware overrides for all practical purposes since it's good to keep
around for reference w.r.t. console. Note that we're starting to move
over to using /chosen/stdout-path, so you might want to add that now
instead of later.

Sure, I can add one if desired. As indicated in the file header, I used
zynq-zed.dts as template, which doesn't have its own either:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/zynq-zed.dts

Andreas, can I assume you would be okay with me assigning Adapteva, Inc.
the suggested "adapteva" prefix in the below list?

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt

I guess it'll come in handy if we ever document the Epiphany
coprocessor's registers. The physical chip on the board is connected via
some FPGA glue - would that be placed like this?

/ {
	amba {
		epiphany: epiphany at 80000000 {
			compatible = "adapteva,epiphany-iii";
			reg = <0x80000000 0x40000000>;
		};
	};
};

It's accessed through /dev/epiphany in a userspace library below,

https://github.com/adapteva/epiphany-libs/blob/master/src/e-hal/src/epiphany-hal.c#L215

https://github.com/adapteva/epiphany-libs/commit/80364e8ee4e99e450a632885a62e7a501398c200

but it's not clear to me who is supposed to create that device. No
downstream kernel driver nor corresponding node in the device tree:

https://github.com/parallella/parallella-linux-adi/blob/d04c39251dc3153b60555642b502dde15f7156a6/arch/arm/boot/dts/zynq-parallella.dts

Ben? Andreas?

Anyway, given that vf610.dtsi only documents the Cortex-A5 core but not
its Cortex-M4 companion core, I'm assuming we should not add the 16 (or
64) Epiphany cores to /cpus node (which would then require to split this
file into zynq-parallella.dtsi and zynq-parallella-{e16,e64}.dts).

Err, this should be <0 0x40000000> (1 GiB). Copied from zynq-zed.dts,
and downstream has the wrong value, too.

The board uses a downstream U-Boot, displaying 992 MiB on serial.

andreas at parallella:/proc/device-tree/memory> hexdump -C reg
00000000  00 00 00 00 3e 00 00 00                           |....>...|
00000008

That matches 992 * 1024 * 1024. Shall I change to <0 0> then?

Confusing though is that the Epiphany manual says memory at <0x1e000000
0x02000000> is reserved for use by the Epiphany:

http://adapteva.com/docs/epiphany_sdk_ref.pdf section 14.1 page 118

I believe that is rather 0x3e000000, which U-Boot seems to confirm:

The board boots U-Boot from flash; U-Boot is configured with no
bootdelay, and users are instructed to deploy one of two provided
devicetree.dtb files, depending on whether they want to run headless
(console=ttyPS0,115200) or with HDMI-enabling FPGA bitstream (no
console=). No bootargs variable is set in U-Boot environment.

U-Boot loads uImage, device tree and bitstream from FAT p1, and device
trees currently hardcode an ext4 p2, so I intentionally left that in
here, for unmodified .dtb deployment for shipping bootloader.

I'll look into /chosen/stdout-path, thanks for the pointer.

Sure, I can add one if desired. As indicated in the file header, I used
zynq-zed.dts as template, which doesn't have its own either:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/zynq-zed.dts

Andreas, can I assume you would be okay with me assigning Adapteva, Inc.
the suggested "adapteva" prefix in the below list?

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt

I guess it'll come in handy if we ever document the Epiphany
coprocessor's registers. The physical chip on the board is connected via
some FPGA glue - would that be placed like this?

/ {
	amba {
		epiphany: epiphany@80000000 {
			compatible = "adapteva,epiphany-iii";
			reg = <0x80000000 0x40000000>;
		};
	};
};

It's accessed through /dev/epiphany in a userspace library below,

https://github.com/adapteva/epiphany-libs/blob/master/src/e-hal/src/epiphany-hal.c#L215

https://github.com/adapteva/epiphany-libs/commit/80364e8ee4e99e450a632885a62e7a501398c200

but it's not clear to me who is supposed to create that device. No
downstream kernel driver nor corresponding node in the device tree:

https://github.com/parallella/parallella-linux-adi/blob/d04c39251dc3153b60555642b502dde15f7156a6/arch/arm/boot/dts/zynq-parallella.dts

Ben? Andreas?

Anyway, given that vf610.dtsi only documents the Cortex-A5 core but not
its Cortex-M4 companion core, I'm assuming we should not add the 16 (or
64) Epiphany cores to /cpus node (which would then require to split this
file into zynq-parallella.dtsi and zynq-parallella-{e16,e64}.dts).

Err, this should be <0 0x40000000> (1 GiB). Copied from zynq-zed.dts,
and downstream has the wrong value, too.

The board uses a downstream U-Boot, displaying 992 MiB on serial.

andreas@parallella:/proc/device-tree/memory> hexdump -C reg
00000000  00 00 00 00 3e 00 00 00                           |....>...|
00000008

That matches 992 * 1024 * 1024. Shall I change to <0 0> then?

Confusing though is that the Epiphany manual says memory at <0x1e000000
0x02000000> is reserved for use by the Epiphany:

http://adapteva.com/docs/epiphany_sdk_ref.pdf section 14.1 page 118

I believe that is rather 0x3e000000, which U-Boot seems to confirm:

https://github.com/parallella/parallella-uboot/blob/3f4794e9ac524be6a373e6ff39ee9ae4529e0f14/include/configs/parallella.h#L25

The board boots U-Boot from flash; U-Boot is configured with no
bootdelay, and users are instructed to deploy one of two provided
devicetree.dtb files, depending on whether they want to run headless
(console=ttyPS0,115200) or with HDMI-enabling FPGA bitstream (no
console=). No bootargs variable is set in U-Boot environment.

U-Boot loads uImage, device tree and bitstream from FAT p1, and device
trees currently hardcode an ext4 p2, so I intentionally left that in
here, for unmodified .dtb deployment for shipping bootloader.

I'll look into /chosen/stdout-path, thanks for the pointer.

We were using these compatible properties but later there is no reason
to create them because they will be unused.
It is easy to add it when you need it which is not this case.

Depends on your bootloader. I think it is good to have it here.
Also this file can be used by u-boot for example and u-boot can be configured
from it that's why I think that make sense to keep this here.

Depends on your bootloader. I think it is good to have it here.
Also this file can be used by u-boot for example and u-boot can be configured
from it that's why I think that make sense to keep this here.

No problem from me too.

You might want to have this say "Adapteva Parallella Board" instead
(just noticed).

No, please add it from day one, otherwise everybody needs to update
their device tree, some will miss doing it, etc, etc. It's a simple
and trivial thing to do, and no reason to leave it o ut.

Ok. It's become commonplace to leave memory empty for the machines
where it's guaranteed that the bootloader will have updated it, to
avoid having stale or incorrect values in the static tree. I'm not
going to be strict about it, but it's something to consider.
