Freescale MPC7448hpc2 (Taiga) board =================================== Created 08/11/2006 Roy Zang -------------------------- MPC7448hpc2 (Taiga) board is a high-performance PowerPC server reference design, which is optimized for high speed throughput between the processor and the memory, disk drive and Ethernet port subsystems. MPC7448hpc2(Taiga) is designed to the micro-ATX chassis, allowing it to be used in 1U or 2U rack-mount chassis��, as well as in standard ATX/Micro-ATX chassis. Building U-Boot ------------------ The mpc7448hpc2 code base is known to compile using: Binutils 2.15, Gcc 3.4.3, Glibc 2.3.3 $ make mpc7448hpc2_config Configuring for mpc7448hpc2 board... $ make Memory Map ---------- The memory map is setup for Linux to operate properly. The mapping is: Range Start Range End Definition Size 0x0000_0000 0x7fff_ffff DDR 2G 0xe000_0000 0xe7ff_ffff PCI Memory 128M 0xfa00_0000 0xfaff_ffff PCI IO 16M 0xfb00_0000 0xfbff_ffff PCI Config 16M 0xfc00_0000 0xfc0f_ffff NVRAM/CADMUS 1M 0xfe00_0000 0xfeff_ffff PromJet 16M 0xff00_0000 0xff80_0000 FLASH (boot flash) 8M 0xff80_0000 0xffff_ffff FLASH (second half flash) 8M Using Flash ----------- The MPC7448hpc2 board has two "banks" of flash, each 8MB in size (2^23 = 0x00800000). Note: the "bank" here refers to half of the flash. In fact, there is only one bank of flash, which is divided into low and high half. Each is controlled by the most significant bit of the address bus. The so called "bank" is only for convenience. There is a switch which allows the "bank" to be selected. The switch settings for updating flash are given below. The u-boot commands for copying the boot-bank into the secondary bank are as follows: erase ff800000 ff880000 cp.b ff000000 ff800000 80000 U-boot commands for downloading an image via tftp and flashing it into the secondary bank: tftp 10000 <u-boot.bin.image> erase ff000000 ff080000 cp.b 10000 ff000000 80000 After copying the image into the second bank of flash, be sure to toggle SW3[4] on board before resetting the board in order to set the secondary bank as the boot-bank. Board Switches ---------------------- Most switches on the board should not be changed. The most frequent user-settable switches on the board are used to configure the flash banks and determining the PCI frequency.
