[U-Boot] Linux 2.6.33.9 (RT) on mpc5121

[Einar Már Björgvinsson]

    hi

I'm not sure if this is the proper list for posting this question but it seems to me that there are some folks here that have vast experience of the mpc5121 chip, so here it goes.

I'm currently trying to port an older kernel version (2.6.33-rc6 non realtime) to a newer one (2.6.33.9 with RT-PREEMPT 2.6.33.9).
The initial support for USB and CAN was done by Denx.

I've been working on moving this support to the new kernel which is nearly completed except from the a kernel panic in the USB setup. It has something to do with the fsl bus setup and the panic happens in drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c::echi_run(struct usb_hcd *hcd):

----------------------------------------------

/* start HC running; it's halted, ehci_init() has been run (once) */
static int ehci_run (struct usb_hcd *hcd)
{
    struct ehci_hcd        *ehci = hcd_to_ehci (hcd);
    int            retval;
    u32            temp;
    u32            hcc_params;

    hcd->uses_new_polling = 1;
    hcd->poll_rh = 0;

    /* EHCI spec section 4.1 */
    if ((retval = ehci_reset(ehci)) != 0) {
        ehci_mem_cleanup(ehci);
        return retval;
    }
    ehci_writel(ehci, ehci->periodic_dma, &ehci->regs->frame_list);
    ehci_writel(ehci, (u32)ehci->async->qh_dma, &ehci->regs->async_next);

----------------------------------------------

The panic happens every time the ehci_reset(ehci) is called. I've been trying to locate the problem and it seems so that I can't go any further because I expect the problem to be earlier in the process, e.g. I must be forgetting something earlier on.

Here is the kernel boot output:

If there are any that are familiar with this and could perhaps point out the problem I hope to hear from you.

It is indeed not the correct list. You might want to try
linuxppc-dev at lists.ozlabs.org for better results.

Have you checked latest mainline linux for that processor? I don't know what
drivers you need, but there has been a lot of progress, and chances are it
works better than what you have now :-)
