RedBoot supports the debug serial port and the built in ethernet port for communication and
downloads. The default serial port settings are 115200,8,N,1 with RTS/CTS flow control. RedBoot can
run from either flash, and can support flash management for either the boot PROM or the system
flash regions.
The following RedBoot configurations are supported:

Initial Installation
Unless a pre-programmed system flash module is available to be plugged into a new board,
RedBoot must be installed with the aid of a JTAG interface unit. To achieve this, the RAM mode
RedBoot must be loaded directly into RAM by JTAG and started, and then that
must be used to store the ROM mode RedBoot into the boot PROM.
These instructions assume that you have binary images of the RAM-based and boot PROM-based
RedBoot images available.
Preparing to program the board
If the board is to be programmed, whether via JTAG or RedBoot, some hardware settings need to
be changed:
Jumper across ST18 on the board to allow write access to the boot PROM.
Set DIP switch S1-3 to OFF to allow RedBoot to write to the system flash.
Set the switch S5 (on the front of the board) to boot from whichever flash is
not being programmed. Note that the RedBoot image cannot access the flash from
which it is currently executing (it can only access the other flash).
The RedBoot binary image files should also be copied to the TFTP pickup area on the host providing
TFTP services if that is how RedBoot should pick up the images it is going to program into the
flash. Alternatively, the images can be passed by YMODEM over the serial link.
Preparing to use the JTAG debugger
The JTAG debugger will also need setting up:
Install the JTAG debugger software (WICE103E) on a PC running Windows (WinNT is
probably the best choice for this) in “C:/PanaX”.
Install the Matsushita provided “project” into the
“C:/Panax/wice103e/prj” directory.
Install the RedBoot image files into the “C:/Panax/wice103e/prj”
directory under the names redboot.ram and redboot.prom.
Make sure the PC's BIOS has the parallel port set to full bidirectional
mode.
Connect the JTAG debugger to the PC's parallel port.
Connect the JTAG debugger to the board.
Set the switch on the front of the board to boot from “boot
PROM”.
Power up the JTAG debugger and then power up the board.
Connect the board's Debug Serial port to a computer by a null modem cable.
Start minicom or some other serial communication software and set for 115200 baud,
1-N-8 with hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control.
Loading the RAM-based RedBoot via JTAG
To perform the first half of the operation, the following steps should be followed:
Start the JTAG debugger software.
Run the following commands at the JTAG debugger's prompt to set up the MMU registers on the
CPU.
ed 0xc0002000, 0x12000580
ed 0xd8c00100, 0x8000fe01
ed 0xd8c00200, 0x21111000

ed 0xda00000c, 0x9200fe01
ed 0xda000000, 0xa89b0654
Run the following commands at the JTAG debugger's prompt to tell it what regions of the CPU's
address space it can access:
ex 0x80000000,0x81ffffff,/mexram
ex 0x84000000,0x85ffffff,/mexram
ex 0x86000000,0x867fffff,/mexram
ex 0x86800000,0x87ffffff,/mexram
ex 0x8c000000,0x8cffffff,/mexram
ex 0x90000000,0x93ffffff,/mexram
Instruct the debugger to load the RAM RedBoot image into RAM:
_pc=90000000
u_pc
rd redboot.ram,90000000
Load the boot PROM RedBoot into RAM:
rd redboot.prom,91020000
Start RedBoot in RAM:
g
Note that RedBoot may take some time to start up, as it will attempt to query a BOOTP or DHCP
server to try and automatically get an IP address for the board. Note, however, that it should send
a plus over the serial port immediately, and the 7-segment LEDs should display “rh
8”.
Loading the boot PROM-based RedBoot via the RAM mode RedBoot
Once the RAM mode RedBoot is up and running, it can be communicated with by way of the serial
port. Commands can now be entered directly to RedBoot for flashing the boot PROM.
Instruct RedBoot to initialise the boot PROM:
RedBoot> fi init
Write the previously loaded redboot.prom image into the boot PROM:
RedBoot> fi write -f 0x80000000 -b 0x91020000 -l 0x00020000
Check that RedBoot has written the image:
RedBoot> dump -b 0x91020000
RedBoot> dump -b 0x80000000
Barring the difference in address, the two dumps should be the same.
Close the JTAG software and power-cycle the board. The RedBoot banners should be
displayed again over the serial port, followed by the RedBoot prompt. The boot PROM-based RedBoot
will now be running.
Power off the board and unjumper ST18 to write-protect the contents of the boot
PROM. Then power the board back up.
Run the following command to initialise the system flash:
RedBoot> fi init
Then program the system flash based RedBoot into the system flash:
RedBoot> load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} redboot_FLASH.bin
RedBoot> fi write -f 0x84000000 -b %{FREEMEMLO} -l 0x00020000
NOTE
RedBoot arranges the flashes on booting such that they always appear at the same addresses,
no matter which one was booted from.
A similar sequence of commands can be used to program the boot PROM when RedBoot has been
booted from an image stored in the system flash.
RedBoot> load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} /tftpboot/redboot_ROM.bin
RedBoot> fi write -f 0x80000000 -b %{FREEMEMLO} -l 0x00020000
See for details on configuring the RedBoot in
general, and also for more details on programming the system
flash.
Additional Commands
The exec command which allows the loading and execution of
Linux kernels, is supported for this architecture (see ). The
exec parameters used for ASB2305 board are:
-w <time>
Wait time in seconds before starting kernel
-c "params"
Parameters passed to kernel
<addr>
Kernel entry point, defaulting to the entry point of the last image
loaded
The parameter string is stored in the on-chip memory at location 0x8C001000, and is prefixed
by “cmdline:” if it was supplied.
Memory Maps
RedBoot sets up the following memory map on the ASB2305 board.
NOTE
The regions mapped between 0x80000000-0x9FFFFFFF are cached by the CPU. However, all those
regions can be accessed uncached by adding 0x20000000 to the address.
Physical Address Range Description
----------------------- -----------
0x80000000 - 0x9FFFFFFF Cached Region
0x80000000 - 0x81FFFFFF Boot PROM
0x84000000 - 0x85FFFFFF System Flash

0xA0000000 - 0xBFFFFFFF Uncached Mirror Region
0xC0000000 - 0xDFFFFFFF CPU Control Registers
The ASB2305 HAL makes use of the on-chip memory in the following way:
0x8C000000 - 0x8C0000FF hal_vsr_table
0x8C000100 - 0x8C0001FF hal_virtual_vector_table
0x8C001000 - Linux command line (RedBoot exec command)
- 0x8C003FFF Emergency DoubleFault Exception Stack
Currently the CPU's interrupt table lies at the beginning of the RedBoot image, which must
therefore be aligned to a 0xFF000000 mask.

installing and testingAtmel AT91/EBXX
RedBoot support is available for the EB40, EB40A, EB42 and EB55
boards. By default all these boards are shipped with only 256Kbytes of
RAM. To minimize the amount of RAM used by RedBoot, only very basic
flash management is provided, comprising of just the fis
erase and fis write commands.
RedBoot supports both serial ports. On all AT91 evaluation boards, serial
port A requires a straight through cable to connect with a PC, whereas
serial port B requires a null modem cable. If you fail to be able to
connect to Angel in the instructions below when installing RedBoot, be
sure to verify you are using the appropriate cable for the serial port.
The default serial port settings for RedBoot are 38400,8,N,1.

Initial Installation Method
RedBoot installation is essentially the same for all boards, however
the details differ slightly. Please make sure you follow the
directions from the correct section below. Any errors could result in
an unusable board.
Installing RedBoot on the EB40
This development board comes with ARM's debug tool, Angel, installed
in flash. At this time, Angel will not be replaced. Rather, RedBoot
will be placed in the alternate half of flash. Switch SW1 is used to
select which monitor to boot. Once RedBoot is installed, selecting SW1
to lower mem will choose Angel, whereas selecting
SW1 to upper mem will choose RedBoot.
Set SW1 to lower mem and connect serial port A to a
host computer. Using GDB from the host and Angel on the board,
download and run the RAM mode image of RedBoot to the board.

Rebuilding RedBoot
These shell variables provide the platform-specific information
needed for building RedBoot according to the procedure described in
:
export ARCH_DIR=arm
export TARGET=eb40
export PLATFORM_DIR=at91/eb40
export TARGET=eb40a
export PLATFORM_DIR=at91/eb40a
export TARGET=eb42
export PLATFORM_DIR=at91/eb42
export TARGET=eb55
export PLATFORM_DIR=at91/eb55
Use just one of the TARGET and
PLATFORM_DIR variable pairs only.
The names of configuration files are listed above with the
description of the associated modes.
When reprogramming RedBoot using RedBoot itself, you should
load a RedBoot RAM image as normal, and load the new ROM image
into RAM. However before programming the new image into Flash
you must switch SW1 to lower mem (EB40)
or set JP1 to STD (EB40A, EB42, EB55) before writing to Flash.
Warning!Failure to set SW1 to
lower mem (EB40) or JP1 to
STD (EB40A, EB42, EB55) will cause the
installation of RedBoot to overwrite Angel, thus making the board
unbootable. Only hardware JTAG can restore the
board once in this state.

RedBoot support is available for the JTST board.
By default this board is shipped with 256Kbytes of
external SRAM. To minimize the amount of RAM used by RedBoot, only very basic
flash management is provided, comprising of just the fis
erase and fis write commands.
RedBoot supports two serial ports.
The default serial port settings for RedBoot are 115200,8,N,1.

Installing a RedBoot image on the JTST
This development board comes with RedBoot installed on flash. To
install a new version of RedBoot or another binary image in flash you
must start a GDB session setting a remote target and load and run the
jtstflashd.elf diopsis application. This is a
daemon that listens on JTST serial port 1. On the PC side you must use
the jtstflash.exe (both linux and windows PC are
supported) to flash the image on JTST. The sources for win32 and
linux/cygwin versions of this host tool can be found in the support
directory of the jtst hal. The binaries can be found along with the
binaries for redboot on the eCos website at
http://ecos.sourceware.org/ecos/boards/redbootbins/at91jtst/
When the jtstflashd.elf is started, the user should open the jumper
JP5 to write in the second half (512Kbytes) of the flash, in this way
the original RedBoot image is preserved.

RedBoot supports a serial port and the built in ethernet port
for communication and downloads. The default serial port settings are 38400,8,N,1.
RedBoot runs from and supports flash management for the system flash
region.
The following RedBoot configurations are supported:

Initial Installation
Unlike other targets, the nanoEngine comes equipped with boot firmware
which you cannot modify. See chapter 5, "nanoEngine Firmware" of the
nanoEngine Hardware Reference Manual (we refer to "July 17, 2000
Rev 0.6") from Bright Star Engineering.
Because of this, eCos, and therefore Redboot, only supports a
special configuration of the ROM mode, starting at offset 0x40000 in
the flash.
Briefly, the POST-configuration RedBoot image lives in flash following the
BSE firmware. The BSE firmware is configured, using its standard
bootcmd command, to run RedBoot at startup.
Download Instructions
You can perform the initial load of the POST-configuration RedBoot image into
flash using the BSE firmware's load command.
This will load a binary file, using TFTP, and program it into flash in one
operation. Because no memory management is used in the BSE firmware, flash
is mapped from address zero upwards, so the address for the RedBoot POST image
is 0x40000. You must use the binary version of RedBoot for this,
redboot-post.bin.
This assumes you have set up the other BSE firmware config
parameters such that it can communicate over your network to your TFTP
server.

eth = 0
gateway = 10.16.19.66
serverip = 10.16.19.66
bootcmd = go 40000
>
NOTE
the BSE firmware runs its serial IO at 9600 Baud; RedBoot runs instead
at 38400 Baud. You must select the right baud rate in your terminal program
to be able to set up the BSE firmware.
After a reset, the BSE firmware will print
Boot: BSE 2000 Sep 12 2000 14:00:30
autoboot: "go 40000" [hit ESC to abort]
and then RedBoot starts, switching to 38400 Baud.
Once you have installed a bootable RedBoot in the system in this
manner, we advise re-installing using the generic method described in
in order that the Flash Image System
contains an appropriate description of the flash entries.
Cohabiting with POST in Flash
The configuration file named redboot_POST.ecm
configures RedBoot to build for execution at address 0x50040000 (or, during
bootup, 0x00040000). This is to allow power-on self-test (POST) code or immutable
firmware to live in the lower addresses of the flash and to run before RedBoot
gets control. The assumption is that RedBoot will be entered at its base address
in physical memory, that is 0x00040000.
Alternatively, for testing, you can call it in an already running system
by using go 0x50040040 at another RedBoot prompt, or
a branch to that address. The address is where the reset vector
points. It is reported by RedBoot's load command
and listed
by the fis list command, amongst other
places.
Using the POST configuration enables a normal config option which causes
linking and initialization against memory layout files called "...post..."
rather than "...rom..." or "...ram..." in the include/pkgconf
directory. Specifically:include/pkgconf/mlt_arm_sa11x0_nano_post.h
include/pkgconf/mlt_arm_sa11x0_nano_post.ldi
include/pkgconf/mlt_arm_sa11x0_nano_post.mlt
It is these you should edit if you wish to move the execution address
from 0x50040000 in the POST configuration. Startup mode naturally
remains ROM in this configuration.
Because the nanoEngine contains immutable boot firmware at the start
of flash, RedBoot for this target is configured to reserve that area in the
Flash Image System, and to create by default an entry for the POST
mode RedBoot.
RedBoot> fis list
Name FLASH addr Mem addr Length Entry point
(reserved) 0x50000000 0x50000000 0x00040000 0x00000000

FIS directory 0x503F0000 0x503F0000 0x00010000 0x00000000
RedBoot>
The entry "(reserved)" ensures that the FIS cannot attempt
to overwrite the BSE firmware, thus ensuring that the board remains bootable
and recoverable even after installing a broken RedBoot image.
Special RedBoot Commands
The nanoEngine/commEngine has one or two Intel i82559 Ethernet controllers
installed, but these have no associated serial EEPROM in which to record their
Ethernet Station Address (ESA, or MAC address). The BSE firmware records an
ESA for the device it uses, but this information is not available to RedBoot;
we cannot share it.
To keep the ESAs for the two ethernet interfaces, two new items of RedBoot
configuration data are introduced. You can list them with the RedBoot command
fconfig -l thus:
RedBoot> fconfig -l
Run script at boot: false
Use BOOTP for network configuration: false
Local IP address: 10.16.19.91
Default server IP address: 10.16.19.66
Network hardware address [MAC] for eth0: 0x00:0xB5:0xE0:0xB5:0xE0:0x99
Network hardware address [MAC] for eth1: 0x00:0xB5:0xE0:0xB5:0xE0:0x9A
GDB connection port: 9000
Network debug at boot time: false
RedBoot>
You should set them before running RedBoot or eCos applications with
the board connected to a network. The fconfig
command can be used as for any configuration data item; the entire ESA
is entered in one line.

0xe0000000 - 0xe7ffffff Y Y Cache Clean
The ethernet devices use a "PCI window" to communicate with the CPU.
This is 1Mb of SDRAM which is shared with the ethernet devices that are on
the PCI bus. It is neither cached nor buffered, to ensure that CPU and PCI
accesses see correct data in the correct order. By default it is configured
to be megabyte number 30, at addresses 0x01e00000-0x01efffff. This can be
modified, and indeed must be, if less than 32Mb of SDRAM is installed, via
the memory layout tool, or by moving the section __pci_window
referred to by symbols CYGMEM_SECTION_pci_window*
in the linker script.
Though the nanoEngine ships with 32Mb of SDRAM all attached to DRAM
bank 0, the code can cope with any of these combinations also; "2 x " in this
context means one device in each DRAM Bank. 1 x 8Mb = 8Mb 2 x 8Mb = 16Mb
1 x 16Mb = 16Mb 2 x 16Mb = 32MbAll are programmed the same
in the memory controller.
Startup code detects which is fitted and programs the memory map accordingly.
If the device(s) is 8Mb, then there are gaps in the physical memory map, because
a high order address bit is not connected. The gaps are the higher 2Mb out
of every 4Mb.
The SA11x0 OS timer is used as a polled timer to provide timeout
support within RedBoot.
Nano Platform Port
The nano is in the set of SA11X0-based platforms. It uses the arm architectural
HAL, the sa11x0 variant HAL, plus the nano platform hal. These are components
CYGPKG_HAL_ARM hal/arm/arch/
CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_SA11X0 hal/arm/sa11x0/var
CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_SA11X0_NANO hal/arm/sa11x0/nano respectively.
The target name is "nano" which includes all these, plus the ethernet
driver packages, flash driver, and so on.
Ethernet Driver
The ethernet driver is in two parts:
A generic ether driver for Intel i8255x series devices, specifically
the i82559, is devs/eth/intel/i82559. Its
package name is CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_INTEL_I82559.
The platform-specific ether driver is devs/eth/arm/nano
. Its package is CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_ARM_NANO
. This tells the generic driver the address in IO memory
of the chip, for example, and other configuration details. This driver picks
up the ESA from RedBoot's configuration data - unless configured to use a
static ESA in the usual manner.

Initial Installation
RedBoot ROM and WinCE mode images are needed by the installation process.
Installing RedBoot on the iPAQ using Windows/CE
The Windows/CE environment originally shipped with the iPAQ contains a hidden
mini-loader, sometimes referred to as the "Parrot" loader. This loader can
be started by holding down the action button (the joypad) while resetting
the unit or when powering on. At this point, a blue bird will appear on
the LCD screen. Also at this point, a simple loader can be accessed over the
serial port at 115200/8N1. Using this loader, the contents of the iPAQ flash
memory can be saved to a Compact Flash memory card.
NOTEWe have only tested this operation with a 32Mbyte CF memory card.
Given that the backup will take 16MBytes + 1KByte, something more than a 16MByte
card will be required.
Use the "r2c" command to dump Flash contents to the CF memory card. Once this
completes, RedBoot can be installed with no fear since the Parrot loader can
be used to restore the Flash contents at a later time.
If you expect to completely recover the state of the iPAQ Win/CE environment, then
HotSync should be run to backup all "RAM" files as well before installing RedBoot.
The next step in installing RedBoot on the iPAQ actually involves Windows/CE,
which is the native environment on the unit. Using WinCE, you need to
install an application which will run a RAM based version of RedBoot. Once
this is installed and running, RedBoot can be used to update the flash with
a native/ROM version of RedBoot.
Using ActiveSync, copy the file OSloader to your iPAQ.
Using ActiveSync, copy the file redboot_WinCE.bin to the iPAQ
as bootldr in its root directory. Note: this is not the top level folder
displayed by Windows (Mobile Device), but rather the 'My Pocket PC' folder
within it.
Execute OSloader. If you didn't create a shortcut, then you
will have to poke around for it using the WinCE file explorer.
Choose the Tools->BootLdr->Run after loading
from file menu item.
At this point, the RAM based version of RedBoot should be running.
You should be able to return to this point by just executing the last two
steps of the previous process if necessary.
Installing RedBoot on the iPAQ - using the Compaq boot loader
This method of installation is no longer supported.
If you have previously installed either the Compaq boot loader or older
versions of RedBoot, restore the Win/CE environment and proceed as outlined
above.
Setting up and testing RedBoot
When RedBoot first comes up, it will want to initialize its LCD touch
screen parameters. It does this by displaying a keyboard graphic and asks
you to press certain keys. Using the stylus, press and hold until the prompt
is withdrawn. When you lift the stylus, RedBoot will continue with the next
calibration.
Once the LCD touchscreen has been calibrated, RedBoot will start. The
calibration step can be skipped by pressing the return/abort
button on the unit (right most button with a curved arrow icon). Additionally,
the unit will assume default values if the screen is not touched within about
15 seconds.
Once RedBoot has started, you should get information similar to this
on the LCD screen. It will also appear on the serial port at 38400,8,N,1.

Installing RedBoot permanently
Once you are satisfied with the setup and that RedBoot is operating
properly in your environment, you can set up your iPAQ unit to have RedBoot
be the bootstrap application.
CAUTION
This step will destroy your Windows/CE environment.
Before you take this step, it is strongly recommended you save your WinCE FLASH contents
as outlined above using the "parrot" loader, or
by using the Compaq OSloader:
Using OSloader on the iPAQ, select the Tools->Flash->Save
to files.... menu item.
Four (4) files, 4MB each in size will be created.
After each file is created, copy the file to your computer,
then delete the file from the iPAQ to make room in the WinCE ramdisk for the
next file.
You will need to download the version of RedBoot designed as the
ROM bootstrap. Then install it permanently using these commands:
RedBoot> lo -r -b 0x100000 redboot_ROM.bin
RedBoot> fi loc -f 0x50000000 -l 0x40000
RedBoot> fis init
RedBoot> fi unl -f 0x50040000 -l 0x40000
RedBoot> fi cr RedBoot -b 0x100000
RedBoot> fi loc -f 0x50040000 -l 0x40000
RedBoot> reset

Initial Installation Method
The board manufacturer provides a DOS application which is
capable of programming the flash over the PCI bus, and this is
required for initial installations of RedBoot. Please see the board
manual for information on using this utility. In general, the process
involves programming one of the two flash based RedBoot images to
flash. The ROM mode RedBoot (which runs from the flash boot sector)
should be programmed to flash address 0x00000000. The ROMA RedBoot
mode (which is started by the ARM bootloader) should be programmed to
flash address 0x00004000.
To install RedBoot to run from the flash boot sector, use the manufacturer's
flash utility to install the ROM mode image at address zero.
To install RedBoot to run from address 0x40000 with the ARM bootloader
in the flash boot sector, use the manufacturer's flash utility to install
the ROMA mode image at address 0x40000.
After booting the initial installation of RedBoot, this warning may
be printed: flash configuration checksum error or invalid key
This is normal, and indicates that the flash must be configured
for use by RedBoot. Even if the above message is not printed, it may be a
good idea to reinitialize the flash anyway. Do this with the
fis command: RedBoot> fis init

When later updating RedBoot in situ, it is important to
use a matching ROM and RAM mode pair of images. So use either RAM/ROM
or RAMA/ROMA images. Do not mix them.
Error codes
RedBoot uses the two digit LED display to indicate errors during board
initialization. Possible error codes are: 88 - Unknown Error
55 - I2C Error
FF - SDRAM Error
01 - No Error
Using RedBoot with ARM Bootloader
RedBoot can coexist with ARM tools in flash on the IQ80310 board. In
this configuration, the ARM bootloader will occupy the flash boot sector while
RedBoot is located at flash address 0x40000. The sixteen position rotary switch
is used to tell the ARM bootloader to jump to the RedBoot image located at
address 0x40000. RedBoot is selected by switch position 0 or 1. Other switch
positions are used by the ARM firmware and RedBoot will not be started.

Memory Maps
The first level page table is located at 0xa0004000. Two second level
tables are also used. One second level table is located at 0xa0008000 and
maps the first 1MB of flash. The other second level table is at 0xa0008400,
and maps the first 1MB of SDRAM. NOTE
The virtual memory maps in this section use a C and B column to indicate
whether or not the region is cached (C) or buffered (B).

Switch Settings
The 80321 board is highly configurable through a number of switches and jumpers.
RedBoot makes some assumptions about board configuration and attention must be paid
to these assumptions for reliable RedBoot operation:
The onboard ethernet and the secondary slot may be placed in a
private space so that they are not seen by a PC BIOS. If the board is to be used
in a PC with BIOS, then the ethernet should be placed in this private space so that
RedBoot and the BIOS do not conflict.
RedBoot assumes that the board is plugged into a PC with BIOS. This
requires RedBoot to detect when the BIOS has configured the PCI-X secondary bus. If
the board is placed in a backplane, RedBoot will never see the BIOS configure the
secondary bus. To prevent this wait, set switch S7E1-3 to ON when using the board
in a backplane.
For the remaining switch settings, the following is a known good
configuration:
S1D1All OFF
S7E17 is ON, all others OFF
S8E12,3,5,6 are ON, all others OFF
S8E22,3 are ON, all others OFF
S9E13 is ON, all others OFF

Repeating Memory Tests
The repeating memory tests are exactly the same as the above memory tests,
except that the tests are automatically rerun after completion. The only way out
of this test is to reset the board.
Repeat-On-Fail Memory Tests
This is similar to the repeating memory tests except that when an error
is found, the failing test continuously retries on the failing address.
Rotary Switch S1 Test
This tests the operation of the sixteen position rotary switch. When run,
this test will display the current position of the rotary switch on the LED
display. Slowly dial through each position and confirm reading on LED.
7 Segment LED Tests
This tests the operation of the seven segment displays. When run, each
LED cycles through 0 through F and a decimal point.

Battery Status Test
This tests the current status of the battery. First, the test checks to
see if the battery is installed and reports that finding. If the battery is
installed, the test further determines whether the battery status is one or
more of the following:
Battery is charging.
Battery is fully discharged.
Battery voltage measures within normal operating range.
Battery Backup SDRAM Memory Test
This tests the battery backup of SDRAM memory. This test is a three
step process:
Select Battery backup test from main diag menu, then write
data to SDRAM.
Turn off power for 60 seconds, then repower the board.
Select Battery backup test from main diag menu, then check
data that was written in step 1.
Timer Test
This tests the internal timer by printing a number of dots at one
second intervals.
PCI Bus Test
This tests the secondary PCI-X bus and socket. This test requires that
an IQ80310 board be plugged into the secondary slot of the IOP80321 board.
The test assumes at least 32MB of installed memory on the IQ80310. That memory
is mapped into the IOP80321 address space and the memory tests are run on that
memory.
CPU Cache Loop
This test puts the CPU into a tight loop run entirely from the ICache.
This should prevent all external bus accesses.
Rebuilding RedBoot
These shell variables provide the platform-specific information
needed for building RedBoot according to the procedure described in

The names of configuration files are listed above with the
description of the associated modes.
Interrupts
RedBoot uses an interrupt vector table which is located at address 0x8004.
Entries in this table are pointers to functions with this protoype::
int irq_handler( unsigned vector, unsigned data )On an IQ80321
board, the vector argument is one of 32 interrupts defined in

The data passed to the ISR is pulled from a data table (hal_interrupt_data)
which immediately follows the interrupt vector table. With
32 interrupts, the data table starts at address 0x8084.
An application may create a normal C function with the above prototype
to be an ISR. Just poke its address into the table at the correct index and
enable the interrupt at its source. The return value of the ISR is ignored
by RedBoot.
Memory Maps
The RAM based page table is located at RAM start + 0x4000. RedBoot may be configured
for one of two memory maps. The difference between them is the location of RAM and the
PCI outbound windows. The alternative memory map may be used when
building RedBoot or eCos by using the RAM_ALTMAP
and ROM_ALTMAP startup types in the configuration.
NOTE
The virtual memory maps in this section use a C, B, and X column to indicate
the caching policy for the region..

The data passed to the ISR is pulled from a data table (hal_interrupt_data)
which immediately follows the interrupt vector table. With
32 interrupts, the data table starts at address 0x8084.
An application may create a normal C function with the above prototype
to be an ISR. Just poke its address into the table at the correct index and
enable the interrupt at its source. The return value of the ISR is ignored
by RedBoot.

CalmRISC/CalmRISC16 Samsung CalmRISC16 Core Evaluation Board
Overview
Samsung CalmRISC16 Core EVBinstalling
and testinginstalling and testing
Samsung CalmRISC16 Core EVB The
Samsung CalmRISC16 evaluation platform consists of two boards connected by a
ribbon cable. One board contains the CPU core and memory. The other board is
called the MDSChip board and provides the host interface. The calmRISC16 is a
harvard architecture with separate 22-bit program and data addresses. The
instruction set provides no instruction for writing to program memory. The
MDSChip board firmware (called CalmBreaker) provides a pseudo register interface
so that code running on the core has access to a serial channel and a mechanism
to write to program memory. The serial channel is fixed at 57600-8-N-1 by the
firmware. The CalmBreaker firmware also provides a serial protocol which
allows a host to download a program and to start or stop the core board.
The following RedBoot configurations are supported:

[ROM]
RedBoot running via the MDSChip board.
redboot_ROM.ecm
Initial Installation Method
The CalmRISC16 core is controlled through the MDSChip board. There is
no non-volatile storage available for RedBoot, so RedBoot must be downloaded
to the board on every power cycle. A small utility program is used to download
S-record files to the eval board. Sources and build instructions for this
utility are located in the RedBoot sources in:
packages/hal/calmrisc16/ceb/current/support
To download the RedBoot image, first press the reset button on the MDSChip
board. The green 'Run' LED on the core board should go off. Now, use the
utility to download the RedBoot image with:
$ calmbreaker -p /dev/term/b --reset --srec-code -f redboot.elf
Note that the '-p /dev/term/b' specifies the serial port to use and will vary
from system to system. The download will take about two minutes. After it
finishes, start RedBoot with:
$ calmbreaker -p /dev/term/b --run
The 'Run' LED on the core board should be on. Connecting to the MDSboard with
a terminal and typing enter should result in RedBoot reprinting the command
prompt.
Special RedBoot Commands
None.
Special Note on Serial Channel
The MDSChip board uses a relatively slow microcontroller to provide
the pseudo-register interface to the core board. This pseudo-register
interface provides access to the serial channel and write access to program
memory. Those interfaces are slow and the serial channel is easily overrun
by a fast host. For this reason, GDB must be told to limit the size of code
download packets to avoid serial overrun. This is done with the following
GDB command:
(gdb) set download-write-size 25

Floppy
[Floppy]
RedBoot running from a boot floppy disk installed
in the A: drive of the PC.
redboot_ROM.ecm
Initial Installation
RedBoot takes the form of a self-booting image that must be written
onto a formatted floppy disk. The process will erase any file system or data
that already exists on that disk, so proceed with caution.
For Red Hat Linux users, this can be done by:
$ dd conv=sync if=install/bin/redboot.bin of=/dev/fd0H1440
For NT Cygwin users, this can be done by first ensuring that the raw
floppy device is mounted as /dev/fd0. To check if this
is the case, type the command mount at the Cygwin bash
prompt. If the floppy drive is already mounted, it will be listed as something
similar to the following line:
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 user binmode
If this line is not listed, then mount the floppy drive using the command:
$ mount -f -b //./a: /dev/fd0
To actually install the boot image on the floppy, use the command:
$ dd conv=sync if=install/bin/redboot.bin of=/dev/fd0
Insert this floppy in the A: drive of the PC to be used as a target
and ensure that the BIOS is configured to boot from A: by default. On reset,
the PC will boot from the floppy and be ready to be debugged via either serial
line, or via the ethernet interface if it is installed.
NOTE
Unreliable floppy media may cause the write to silently fail. This
can be determined if the RedBoot image does not correctly
boot. In such cases, the floppy should be (unconditionally) reformatted
using the fdformat command on Linux, or
format a: /u on DOS/Windows.
Flash management
PC RedBoot does not support any FLASH commands.
Special RedBoot Commands
None.
Memory Maps
All selectors are initialized to map the entire 32-bit address space

Initial Installation
RedBoot is installed using the code download facility built into the
Atlas board. See the Atlas User manual for details, and also the Atlas download
format in .
Quick download instructions
Here are quick start instructions for downloading the prebuilt RedBoot
image.
Locate the prebuilt files in the bin directory:
deleteall.dl and redboot.dl.
Make sure switch S1-1 is OFF and switch S5-1 is ON. Reset
the board and verify that the LED display reads Flash DL.
Make sure your parallel port is connected to the 1284 port
Of the Atlas board.
Send the deleteall.dl file to the
parallel port to erase previous images:
$ cat deleteall.dl >/dev/lp0
When this is complete, the LED display should read
Deleted.
Send the ROM mode RedBoot image to the board:
$ cat redboot.dl >/dev/lp0
When this is complete, the LED display should show the last
address programmed. This will be something like: 1fc17000
.
Change switch S5-1 to OFF and reset the board. The LED display
should read RedBoot.
Run the RedBoot fis init
and fconfig commands to initialize the flash.
See ,
and for details.
Atlas download format
In order to download RedBoot to the Atlas board, it must be converted
to the Atlas download format. There are different ways of doing this depending
on which version of the developer's kit is shipped with the board.
The Atlas Developer's Kit CD contains an
srec2flash utility. The source code for this utility is part
of the yamon/yamon-src-01.01.tar.gz tarball
on the Dev Kit CD. The path in the expanded tarball is yamon/bin/tools. To use
srec2flash to convert the S-record file:
$ srec2flash -EL -S29 redboot.srec >redboot.dl
The Atlas/Malta Developer's Kit CD
contains an srecconv.pl utility which requires
Perl. This utilty is part of the yamon/yamon-src-02.00.tar.gz
tarball on the Dev Kit CD. The path in the expanded tarball
is yamon/bin/tools. To use
srecconv to convert the S-record file:
$ cp redboot_ROM.srec redboot_ROM.rec
$ srecconv.pl -ES L -A 29 redboot_ROM
The resulting file is named redboot_ROM.fl.
Flash management
Additional config options
The ethernet MAC address is stored in flash manually using the
fconfig command. You can use the YAMON setenv
ethaddr command to print out the board ethernet address.
Typically, it is: 00:0d:a0:00:xx:xx where
xx.xx is the hex representation of the
board serial number.
Additional commands
The exec command which allows the
loading and execution of Linux kernels, is supported for this architecture
(see ). The
exec parameters used for MIPS boards are:
-b <addr>
Location to store command line and environment passed to kernel
-w <time>
Wait time in seconds before starting kernel
-c "params"
Parameters passed to kernel
<addr>
Kernel entry point, defaulting to the entry point of the last image
loaded
Linux kernels on MIPS platforms expect the entry point to be called with arguments
in the registers equivalent to a C call with prototype:
void Linux(int argc, char **argv, char **envp);
RedBoot will place the appropriate data at the offset specified by the
-b parameter, or by default at address 0x80080000, and will set the
arguments accordingly when calling into the kernel.
The default entry point, if no image with explicit entry point has been loaded and
none is specified, is 0x80000750.
Interrupts
RedBoot uses an interrupt vector table which is located at address 0x80000400.
Entries in this table are pointers to functions with this protoype:
int irq_handler( unsigned vector, unsigned data )On an atlas
board, the vector argument is one of 25 interrupts defined in
hal/mips/atlas/VERSION/include/plf_intr.h:

passed to the ISR is pulled from a data table (hal_interrupt_data
) which immediately follows the interrupt vector table. With
25 interrupts, the data table starts at address 0x80000464 on atlas.
An application may create a normal C function with the above prototype
to be an ISR. Just poke its address into the table at the correct index and
enable the interrupt at its source. The return value of the ISR is ignored
by RedBoot.

Initial Installation
RedBoot is installed using the code download facility built into the
Malta board. See the Malta User manual for details, and also the Malta download
format in .
Quick download instructions
Here are quick start instructions for downloading the prebuilt RedBoot
image.
Locate the prebuilt files in the bin directory:
deleteall.fl and redboot_ROM.fl.
Make sure switch S5-1 is ON. Reset the board and verify that
the LED display reads Flash DL.
Make sure your parallel port is connected to the 1284 port
Of the Atlas board.
Send the deleteall.fl file to the
parallel port to erase previous images:
$ cat deleteall.fl >/dev/lp0
When this is complete, the LED display should read
Deleted.
Send the RedBoot image to the board:
$ cat redboot_ROM.fl >/dev/lp0
When this is complete, the LED display should show the last address
programmed. This will be something like:
1fc17000.
Change switch S5-1 to OFF and reset the board. The LED display
should read RedBoot.
Run the RedBoot fis init and
fconfig commands to initialize the flash. See
and for details.
Malta download format
In order to download RedBoot to the Malta board, it must be converted
to the Malta download format.
The Atlas/Malta Developer's Kit CD contains an
srecconv.pl utility which requires Perl. This utility is part
of the yamon/yamon-src-02.00.tar.gz tarball
on the Dev Kit CD. The path in the expanded tarball is yamon/bin/tools. To use
srecconv to convert the S-record file:
$ cp redboot_ROM.srec redboot_ROM.rec
$ srecconv.pl -ES L -A 29 redboot_ROM
The resulting file is named redboot_ROM.fl.
Additional commands
The exec command which allows the
loading and execution of Linux kernels, is supported for this architecture
(see ). The
exec parameters used for MIPS boards are:
-b <addr>
Location to store command line and environment passed to kernel
-w <time>
Wait time in seconds before starting kernel
-c "params"
Parameters passed to kernel
<addr>
Kernel entry point, defaulting to the entry point of the last image
loaded
Linux kernels on MIPS platforms expect the entry point to be called with arguments
in the registers equivalent to a C call with prototype:
void Linux(int argc, char **argv, char **envp);
RedBoot will place the appropriate data at the offset specified by the
-b parameter, or by default at address 0x80080000, and will set the
arguments accordingly when calling into the kernel.
The default entry point, if no image with explicit entry point has been loaded and
none is specified, is 0x80000750.
Interrupts
RedBoot uses an interrupt vector table which is located at address 0x80000200.
Entries in this table are pointers to functions with this protoype:
int irq_handler( unsigned vector, unsigned data )On the malta
board, the vector argument is one of 22 interrupts defined in
hal/mips/malta/VERSION/include/plf_intr.h:
#define CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_SOUTH_BRIDGE_INTR 0
#define CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_SOUTH_BRIDGE_SMI 1
#define CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_CBUS_UART 2

#define CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_19 19
#define CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_IDE_PRIMARY 20
#define CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_IDE_SECONDARY 21The data
passed to the ISR is pulled from a data table (hal_interrupt_data
) which immediately follows the interrupt vector table. With
22 interrupts, the data table starts at address 0x80000258.
An application may create a normal C function with the above prototype
to be an ISR. Just poke its address into the table at the correct index and
enable the interrupt at its source. The return value of the ISR is ignored
by RedBoot.
Memory Maps

NOTE
The virtual memory maps in this section use a C and B column to indicate
whether or not the region is cached (C) or buffered (B).

Initial Installation Method
A device programmer should be used to program a socketed FLASH part
(AMD 29F040). The board as delivered is configured for a 512K
EPROM. To install a FLASH ROM, Jumpers J30, J31 and J36 need to be
changed as described in the board's User Manual.
Special RedBoot Commands
None.
Memory Maps
RedBoot sets up the memory map primarily as described in the board's
User Manual. There are some minor differences, noted in the following
table:

NOTE
By default the VRC4375 SIMM control registers are not programmed
since the values used must depend on the SIMMs installed. If SIMMs
are to be used, correct values must be placed in these registers
before accessing the SIMM address range.
NOTE
The allocation of address ranges to devices in the PCI IO and
memory spaces is handled by the eCos PCI support library. They do
not correspond to those described in the board User Manual.
NOTE
The MMU has been set up to relocate the VRC4372 supported devices
mapped at physical addresses 0x8xxxxxxx to virtual addresses
0xCxxxxxxx.
Ethernet Driver
The ethernet driver is in two parts:
A generic ether driver for the Intel i21143 device is located in
devs/eth/intel/i21143. Its package name is CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_INTEL_I21143.
The platform-specific ether driver is devs/eth/mips/vrc4375. Its package is
CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_MIPS_VRC4375. This
tells the generic driver the address in IO memory of the chip, for
example, and other configuration details. The ESA (MAC address) is by
default collected from on-board serial EEPROM, unless configured
statically within this package.

Initial Installation Method
Device programmer is used to program the XU1 socketed flash part (AM29F040B)
with the ROM mode image of RedBoot. Use the on-board EPPC-Bug monitor to update
RedBoot.
This assumes that you have EPPC-Bug in the on-board flash. This can
be determined by setting up the board according to the following instructions
and powering up the board.
The EPPC-Bug prompt should appear on the SMC1 connector at 9600 baud,
8N1.
Set jumper 3 to 2-3 [allow XU1 flash to be programmed]
Set jumper 4 to 2-3 [boot EPPC-Bug]
If it is available, program the flash by following these steps:
Prepare EPPC-Bug for download: EPPC-Bug>lo 0
At this point the monitor is ready for input. It will not
return the prompt until the file has been downloaded.
Use the terminal emulator's ASCII download feature (or a simple
clipboard copy/paste operation) to download the
redboot.ppcbug file.
Note that on Linux, Minicom's ASCII
download feature seems to be broken. A workaround is to load the file
into emacs (or another editor) and copy the
full contents to the clipboard. Then press the mouse paste-button (usually
the middle one) over the Minicom window.
Program the flash with the downloaded data:
EPPC-Bug>pflash 40000 60000 fc000000
Switch off the power, and change jumper 4 to 1-2. Turn on
the power again. The board should now boot using the newly programmed RedBoot.
Special RedBoot Commands
None.

Initial Installation Method
The Solution Engine ships with the Hitachi boot monitor in EPROM
which allows for initial programming of RedBoot:
Set switch SW4-1 to ON [boot from EPROM]
Connect a serial cable to CN1 (SCI) and power up the board.
After the boot monitor banner, invoke the flash
download/program command:Ready >fl
The monitor should now ask for input:
Flash ROM data copy to RAM
Please Send A S-format RecordAt this point copy the
RedBoot ROM SREC file to the serial port:
$ cat redboot_SE7709RP_ROM.eprom.srec > /dev/ttyS0
Eventually you
should see something likeStart Addrs = A1000000
End Addrs = A1xxxxxx
Transfer complete from the monitor.
Set switch SW4-1 to OFF [boot from flash] and reboot the board. You
should now see the RedBoot banner.
Special RedBoot Commands
The exec command which allows the loading
and execution of Linux kernels
is supported for this board (see ). The
exec parameters used for the SE77x9 are:
-b <addr>
Parameter block address. This is normally the first
page of the kernel image and defaults to 0x8c101000
-i <addr>
Start address of initrd
image
-j <size>
Size of initrd image
-c "args"
Kernel arguments string
-m <flags>
Mount rdonly flags. If set to a non-zero value the
root partition will be mounted read-only.
-f <flags>
RAM disk flags. Should normally be 0x4000
-r <device number>
Root device specification. /dev/ram is 0x0101
-l <type>
Loader type
Finally the kernel entry address can be specified as an optional
argument. The default is 0x8c102000
For the the SE77x9, Linux by default expects to be loaded at
0x8c001000 which conflicts with the data space used by RedBoot.
To work around this, either change the CONFIG_MEMORY_START kernel
option to a higher address, or use the compressed kernel image and load
it at a higher address. For example, setting CONFIG_MEMORY_START to
0x8c100000, the kernel expects to be loaded at address 0x8c101000 with
the entry point at 0x8c102000.

Initial Installation Method
A ROM mode RedBoot image must be programmed
into the two EPROMs. Two files with a split version of the ROM mode
image is
provided: it is also possible to recreate these from the
redboot.bin
file, but requires the split_word.c program in
hal/sh/hs7729pci/VERSION/misc
to be built and executed with the redboot.bin
filename as sole argument.
After doing this it is advised that another ROM mode image of
RedBoot is programmed into the on-board flash, and that copy be used
for booting the board. This allows for software programmed updates of
RedBoot instead of having to reprogram the EPROMs.
Program the EPROMs with RedBoot. The .lo image should
go in socket M1 and the .hi image in socket M2.
Set switch SW1-6 to ON [boot from EPROM]
Follow the instructions under Flash management for
updating the flash copy of RedBoot, but force the flash destination
address with
-f 0x80400000 due to setting of
the SW1-6 switch.
Set switch SW1-6 to OFF [boot from flash] and reboot the board. You
should now see the RedBoot banner. At this time you may want to issue
the command fis init to initialize
the flash table with the correct addresses.

RAM
[RAM]
RedBoot running from RAM with RedBoot in the
flash boot sector.
redboot_RAM.ecm
Initial Installation Method
The Solution Engine ships with the Hitachi boot monitor in EPROM
which allows for initial programming of RedBoot:
Set switches SW4-3 and SW4-4 to ON [boot from EPROM]
Connect a serial cable to COM2 and power up the board.
After the boot monitor banner, invoke the flash
download/program command:Ready >fl
The monitor should now ask for input:
Flash ROM data copy to RAM
Please Send A S-format RecordAt this point copy the
RedBoot ROM SREC file to the serial port:
$ cat redboot_ROM.eprom.srec > /dev/ttyS0
Eventually you
should see something likeStart Addrs = A1000000
End Addrs = A1xxxxxx
Transfer complete from the monitor.
Set switch SW4-3 to OFF [boot from flash] and reboot the board. You
should now see the RedBoot banner.
Special RedBoot Commands
The exec command which allows the loading
and execution of Linux kernels
is supported for this board (see ). The
exec parameters used for the SE77x9 are:
-b <addr>
Parameter block address. This is normally the first
page of the kernel image and defaults to 0x8c101000
-i <addr>
Start address of initrd
image
-j <size>
Size of initrd image
-c "args"
Kernel arguments string
-m <flags>
Mount rdonly flags. If set to a non-zero value the
root partition will be mounted read-only.
-f <flags>
RAM disk flags. Should normally be 0x4000
-r <device number>
Root device specification. /dev/ram is 0x0101
-l <type>
Loader type
Finally the kernel entry address can be specified as an optional
argument. The default is 0x8c102000
On the SE77x9, Linux expects to be loaded at address 0x8c101000 with
the entry point at 0x8c102000. This is configurable in the kernel
using the CONFIG_MEMORY_START option.
Memory Maps
RedBoot sets up the following memory map on the SE77x9 board.
Physical Address Range Description

0xb0c00000 - 0xbfffffff LEDs
0xb1800000 - 0xb1bfffff PCMCIA (MaruBun)
Ethernet Driver
The ethernet driver uses a hardwired ESA which can, at present,
only be changed in CDL.
Rebuilding RedBoot
These shell variables provide the platform-specific information
needed for building RedBoot according to the procedure described in
:
export TARGET=se77x9
export ARCH_DIR=sh
export PLATFORM_DIR=se77x9
