- U-Boot for ARM Integrator Development Platforms
-
- Peter Pearse, ARM Ltd.
- peter.pearse@arm.com
- www.arm.com
-
-Manuals available from :-
-http://www.arm.com/products/DevTools/Hardware_Platforms.html
-
-Overview :
---------
-There are two Integrator variants - Integrator/AP and Integrator/CP.
-Each may be fitted with a variety of core modules (CMs).
-Each CM consists of a ARM processor core and associated hardware e.g
- FPGA implementing various controllers and/or register
- SSRAM
- SDRAM
- RAM controllers
- clock generators etc.
-CMs may be fitted with varying amounts of SDRAM using a DIMM socket.
-
-Boot Methods :
-------------
-Integrator platforms can be configured to use U-Boot in at least three ways :-
-a) Run ARM boot monitor, manually run U-Boot image from flash
-b) Run ARM boot monitor, automatically run U-Boot image from flash
-c) Run U-Boot image direct from flash.
-
-In cases a) and b) the ARM boot monitor will have configured the CM and mapped
-writeable memory to 0x00000000 in the Integrator address space.
-U-Boot has to carry out minimal configration before standard code is run.
-
-In case c) it may be necessary for U-Boot to perform CM dependent initialization.
-
-Configuring U-Boot :
-------------------
- The makefile contains targets for Integrator platforms of both types
-fitted with all current variants of CM. If these targets are to be used with
-boot process c) above then CONFIG_INIT_CRITICAL may need to be defined to ensure
-that the CM is correctly configured.
-
- There are also targets independent of CM. These may not be suitable for
-boot process c) above. They have been preserved for backward compatibility with
-existing build processes.
-
-Code Hierarchy Applied :
-----------------------
-Code specific to initialization of a particular ARM processor has been placed in
-cpu/arm<>/start.S so that it may be used by other boards.
-
-However, to avoid duplicating code through all processor files, a generic core
-for ARM Integrator CMs has been added
-
- arch/arm/cpu/arm_intcm
-
-Otherwise. for example, the standard CM reset via the CM control register would
-need placing in each CM processor file......
-
-Code specific to the initialization of the CM, rather than the cpu, and initialization
-of the Integrator board itself, has been placed in
-
- board/integrator<>/platform.S
- board/integrator<>/integrator<>.c
-
-Targets
-=======
-The U-Boot make targets map to the available core modules as below.
-
-Integrator/AP is no longer available from ARM.
-Core modules marked ** are also no longer available.
-
-ap720t_config ** CM720T
-ap920t_config ** CM920T
-ap926ejs_config Integrator Core Module for ARM926EJ-STM
-ap946es_config Integrator Core Module for ARM946E-STM
-cp920t_config ** CM920T
-cp926ejs_config Integrator Core Module for ARM926EJ-STM
-cp946es_config Integrator Core Module for ARM946E-STM
-cp1136_config Integrator Core Module ARM1136JF-S TM
-
-The final groups of targets are for core modules where no explicit cpu
-code has yet been added to U-Boot i.e. they all use the same U-Boot binary
-using the generic "arm_intcm" core:
-
-ap966_config Integrator Core Module for ARM966E-S TM
-ap922_config Integrator Core Module for ARM922T TM with ETM
-ap922_XA10_config Integrator Core Module for ARM922T using Altera Excalibur
-ap7_config ** CM7TDMI
-integratorap_config
-ap_config
-
-
-cp966_config Integrator Core Module for ARM966E-S TM
-cp922_config Integrator Core Module for ARM922T TM with ETM
-cp922_XA10_config Integrator Core Module for ARM922T using Altera Excalibur
-cp1026_config Integrator Core Module ARM1026EJ-S TM
-integratorcp_config
-cp_config
-
-The Makefile targets call board/integrator<>/split_by_variant.sh
-to configure various defines in include/configs/integrator<>.h
-to indicate the core module & core configuration and ensure that
-board/integrator<>/u-boot.lds loads the cpu object first in the U-Boot image.

-*********************************
-Because of this mechanism
-> make clean
-must be run before each change in configuration
