Trouble indetifying FLASH part

Trouble indetifying FLASH part

[Ho-Kuo Chan]

Hi,
    I have a PPC405GP based board with a single AMD compatible Toshiba
TC58FVB321FT 4MB flash in word mode. The chip is physically mapped to
address 0x8000000 and according to the Data Sheet, is CFI compatible. I
believe I have properly configured the kernel but I can't seem to get my
chip identified. Am I missing sonething? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

You should write own map code in maps directory.

It looks like what you have should work. What messages do you get when you 
boot?

 Hi,
     I suppose I should mention that I am using kernel 2.4.19-pre3.

 Here is the outpt, note that lines that start with HKC are debugging

I have also tried replacing the ioremap call in init)physmap with
ioremap_nocache() but with no byte swapping. Should I try it with
LE_BYTE_SWAP?

Yes, that could be useful -- although I don't think you should have got a 
cached mapping by default, it's worth a try.

Can you make it print the contents of the region at 0x8000000 and check it
matches what you expect to be in the flash chip? Are you sure that's
supposed to be 0x8000000 and not 0x80000000?

The ioremap_nocache with LE_BYTE_SWAP didn't help. I will return it ioremap.

I tried printk("HKC: Raw output of flash address =0x%x\n", *(unsigned
int*)0x8000000) but resulted in kernel panic. I'm starting to think this is
a virtual memory problem. Do I need a TLB entry for the device?

Yes, I have double-checked the hardware specs. I also have the board and
flash working with VxWorks which has a flat memory model.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Yes. That's what ioremap() does for you. But the map driver will already be
setting that up -- just call the map->copy_from function in the chip probe,
to read the first 0x40-odd bytes into a buffer, and then print them and
compare with what you expected to see.

OK, this is what I did:
char buffer[0x40];

map->copy_from(map, (void*)buffer, 0, 0x40);

for (i = 0; i < 0x40; i++)
{
    printk("HKC: map->copy_from copied 0x%x to buffer\n", buffer[i];
}

The result was a continuous stream of 0xf0's. In VxWorks I get
0x1303434953463900 which is "..CIS59.". Does this tell you anything?

Yeah. It really does look like the chip isn't where you think it is.

Can you get Linux to boot anyway, with NFSroot or something? 

od -A x -t x1 /dev/mem | grep "13 03 43 49 53 46 39 00"

Or you could code the equivalent in the kernel.

I am booting over tftp with nfs mounted root already. I executed the command
you provided at the console with no matches. I noted that the highest memory
address tested was ffffff which makes sense considering the system has 16 MB
RAM. Here is my physical memory map:
0x0 - 0xfffff : SDRAM
0x8000000 - 0x83FFFFF : Flash
0x9000000 - 0x90FFFFF : FPGA
0xEF600000 - 0xEFFFFFF : PPC405GP memory mapped registers
0xFFE00000 - 0xFFFFFFFF : BootPROM

Does this help?

Thanks again,
HK

Re: Trouble indetifying FLASH part

Hi David,
    I have partially solved the problem. The PPC405GP multiplexes its GPIO
lines with the External Bus Chip Select lines. In fact, what was occurring
was that my GPIO's were misconfigured and were not acting as Chip Select
Lines. However, it's not quite working:

The value read above is the return value of cfi_read as in the qry_present
function. I am no expert but should the comparison in qry_present:

if (cfi_read(map, base+osf*0x10)==cfi_buil_cmd('Q', map, cfi) &&
    cfi_read(map, base+osf*0x11)==cfi_buil_cmd('R', map, cfi) &&
    cfi_read(map, base+osf*0x12)==cfi_buil_cmd('Y', map, cfi))

be simply:

if (cfi_read(map, base+osf*0x10)=='Q' &&
    cfi_read(map, base+osf*0x11)=='R' &&
    cfi_read(map, base+osf*0x12)=='Y')

Thanks for all your help!!!!

What you have is a single chip, isn't it?

Why does it never probe for bus width 2, interleave 1 and device_type 16?

Ooops, sorry, I missed part of the copy/paste. This is the result with
interleave at 1 with device_type 16:

Something just occurred to me: the calculated cmd values are endian swapped.
I just checked and LE_BYTE_SWAP is still on, I have just turned it off and
the device is now recognied:
