[U-Boot-Users] Value of CFG_PCI_MEMBASE

[U-Boot-Users] Value of CFG_PCI_MEMBASE

[Sachin Rane]

Hi,
 
In the 'include/configs/ocotea.h" file:
8<-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
#define CFG_PCI_MEMBASE     0x80000000      /* mapped pci memory        */
 
8<-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
But the Memory map of the Ocotea board (PPC440GX? Evaluation Board User's Manual) has mentioned about the PCI memory  as:
Start Address (32 Bit) - 9000 0000
End Address (32 Bit) - 9FFF FFFF 
Start Address (36 Bit) - 3 0000 0000 
End Address (36 Bit) - 3 0FFF FFFF 
Size - 256MB 256 MB 
 
 
I am not clear about the logic behind the value assigned to CFG_PCI_MEMBASE    i.e. 0x80000000
 
Can you help me to figure it out?
 
Regards,
Sachin Rane

This is the virtual address.

The users manual referrs to the physical (36bit) address.

The mapping between virtual and physical address is done via the MMU. I 
suggest you take a look at the init.S file in the board directory. This 
should make it clear.

[U-Boot-Users] Value of CFG_PCI_MEMBASE

[Sachin Rane]

Hi Stefen,
 
Thanks for the reply.
 
Infact I was looking for the info to create a proper 'tlbentry' in 'init.S'
As per my understanding the 'tlbentry' is to map 32-bit address to 36-bit address.
 
The 'tlbenry' for the PCI Memory in 'init.S' is :
tlbentry( CFG_PCI_MEMBASE, SZ_256M, 0x00000000, 3, AC_R|AC_W|SA_G|SA_I )
 
The 'CFG_PCI_MEMBASE' is set to 0x80000000 in 'ocotea.h'.
 
 
My question is how to select the value for 'CFG_PCI_MEMBASE'. 
Can I use any value (say 0x50000000 ) provided it is not overlapping with other devices?
 
If we are using Board Memory Map as a reference then the 32-bit address 'CFG_PCI_MEMBASE'  used in 'telbentry' should have set to: 0x90000000
 
 
I am trying to find out the logic behind the selection of value for the variabale 'CFG_PCI_MEMBASE' in:
tlbentry( CFG_PCI_MEMBASE, SZ_256M, 0x00000000, 3, AC_R|AC_W|SA_G|SA_I )
 
Waiting for your reply.
 
 
Regards,
Sachin Rane

Yes. I suggest to start with 0x80000000 since this leaves the first 2 GB for 
SDRAM.

Why is this? Which "Board Memory Map" are you referring to?

Whats the problems with using 0x80000000 here?

Stefan

[U-Boot-Users] Value of CFG_PCI_MEMBASE

Hi Stefan,

I don't have much knowledge about how u-boot being implemented.

>Why is this? Which "Board Memory Map" are you referring to?

I am referring to 'Peripheral Registers' table given in 'PPC440GX? 
Evaluation Board User?s Manual'.
I found the 32 bit value passed to the 'telbentry' macro is matching 
with the values given in the '32 Bit Address' column of the table except 
for 'PCI Memory - cached'.
And this mismatch confused me.

 From your last reply I understood that it is the developer who got the 
freedom to decide the 32-bit value.
Is that correct?

Regards,
Sachin

Yes. You have some freedom in this assignment of the 32-bit virtual addresses. 
Overlapping is not allowed of course.
