From 1117cbf2adac59050af1751af6c6a524afa5c3ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Chou Date: Fri, 28 May 2010 10:56:50 +0800 Subject: nios: remove nios-32 arch The nios-32 arch is obsolete and broken. So it is removed.

Memory Organization -======================= - - -The heap is placed below the monitor (U-Boot code). - -Global data is placed below the heap. - -The stack is placed below global data (&grows down). - -3. Examples -============ - -The hello_world example works fine. The default load address -is 0x0100_0000 (the start of SDRAM). - - -4. Programming U-Boot into FLASH with GERMS -============================================ -The current version of the DK-1C20 port with the default -configuration settings occupies about 81 KBytes of flash. -A minimal configuration occupies less than 60 KByte (asmi -and network support disabled). - -To program U-Boot into the DK-1C20 flash using GERMS do the -following: - -1. From the command line, download U-Boot using the nios-run: - - $ nios-run -r u-boot.srec - -This takes about 45 seconds (GERMS is not very speedy here). -After u-boot is downloaded it will be executed.

To start U-Boot with the -Safe-32 configuration, enter the following GERMS command: - - + g 40000 - -5. Active Serial Memory Interface (ASMI) Support -================================================ -ASMI is fully supported in U-Boot. Please note that ASMI is supported -only on Cyclone devices. Do not expect ASMI to work with Stratix or -APEX devices. - - ************* IMPORTANT ************* - =================================================== - IN ORDER FOR THE NIOS ASMI TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THE - CYCLONE DEVICE MUST BE CONFIGURED USING JTAG OR ASMI. - -There are two techniques you can use to bootstrap the ASMI. The -first is to use the program_epcs utility that is part of Altera's SDK. -But I've found program_epcs to be slow and cumbersome at best. - -An undocumented alternative is to use the Quartus device programing -interface: - - 1. Select "Active Serial" mode. - - 2. Choose the xxx.pof file. For example, for the standard_32 - configuration use the "standard_32.pof" file. - - 3. Attach your ByteBlaster to J28. Make sure you have the - cable attached properly -- the orientation of J28 is - different than J24 (the JTAG header). On J28, pin 1 is on - the bottom row, left-most pin. - - 4. Press and hold the "Power-On Reset" switch (SW10). You will - see the green "Loading" and red "Error" LEDs (LED3 and LED4) - in the on state. - - 5. While holding down the "Power-On Reset" switch, start the - programming sequence. This only takes about 10 seconds. - - 6. After programming is complete, release the "Power-On Reset" - switch. The Cyclone device should now load its configuration - from the EPCS4 (U59). The green "User" LED (LED 1) should be - blinking if the device was successfully loaded via ASMI. - - 7. Remove the ByteBlaster cable. The cable must be removed to - allow the Nios ASMI access to the EPCS4 device. - -After you have successfully programmed a configuration into the -EPCS4, the ASMI will be used to load the Cyclone configuration -unless the "Force Safe" switch (SW9) is pressed. - -NOTE: To maximize the amount of space available for program use, -you can enable configuration compression in Quartus. With compression -enabled, the size of the standard_32 configuration data is -approximately 192 KBytes. - -To use the U-Boot ASMI commands, try typing "help asmi" at the -command prompt. The command "asmi info" will show the current -status of the ASMI. -- cgit v1.1
