Linux Image

[Aman]

Hi All

I have an rom monitor code without ethernet support running on PPC440GP. Is
it possible to download a linux image to the board using the Kermit
protocol. If so what type of linux image has to build for that.

Thanking you in advance
Regards
Aman

If you are using the serial port on the board then I would assume you have
to use an srec format.

Install PPCBoot.

Yes, this is possible. PPCBoot supports kermit binary  protocol  (use
the  "loadb" command). Umm... but PPCBoot also supports download over
ethernet, so you probably will not use "loadb".

Base Baud Calculation

[Aman]

Hi

How is the base_baud in linux calculated?.

Thanking you in advance

Here is the piece of code I use on our custom 440GP board (works also on
Ebony):

static void __init XXXXXXX_serial_init(void){

     struct serial_struct serial_req;
     int baud_base;

     /* Determine baud base */
     unsigned long cpc0_cr0 = mfdcr(DCRN_CPC0_CR0);

     if (cpc0_cr0 & 0x00400000){
         /* External UART0 clock (eval board uses 6*1.8432 MHz clock) */
         baud_base = (6 * 1843200) / 16;
     }
     else {
         /* Internal UART0 clock */
        int uart_div = ((cpc0_cr0 & 0x001f0000) >> 16) + 1;
         baud_base = (XXXXXX_clocks.plb * 1000000) / uart_div / 16;
     }

     /* Setup ioremapped serial port access */
     memset(&serial_req, 0, sizeof(serial_req));
     serial_req.line = 0;
     serial_req.baud_base = baud_base;
     serial_req.port = 0;
     serial_req.irq = UART0_INT;
     serial_req.flags = ASYNC_BOOT_AUTOCONF | ASYNC_SKIP_TEST;
     serial_req.io_type = SERIAL_IO_MEM;
     serial_req.iomem_base = ioremap64(PPC440GP_UART0_ADDR, 8);
     serial_req.iomem_reg_shift = 0;

     if (early_serial_setup(&serial_req) != 0) {
         printk(KERN_ALERT"Early serial init of port 0 failed\n");
     }
}

One comment, XXXXXX_clocks - structure that holds different clocks in MHz.
For example, XXXXXX_clocks.plb is equal to 133.

Usually, this value can be hardcoded, but I find this way more convenient,
especially when running the same image on different boards with different
clock setup.
