Hi,
after porting my board support from u-boot 2009.11 to 2011.06 together with adding the relocation support the ATAGs passing don't work any more.
I have add icache_disable() and dcache_disable() to my board_init() like on other pxa boards.
It looks like the mapping of the Dcache as RAM is not cleared and will be re-enabled by the kernel.
Thanks for tracing this, can you submit a patch ?
I have only avoid the problem and don't really fix the problem, as I am not familiar with the MMU configuration and the relocation.
I think the right solution will be to clean up the MMU at the end of the relocation and maybe disable it, instead of doing this at board_init().
Should it be functional to add the following MMU initialisation from an other start.S after the clear_bss in start.S or should it be enough to flush the TLB and disable the D-cache?
clear_mmu: /* * flush v4 I/D caches */ mov r0, #0 mcr p15, 0, r0, c7, c7, 0 /* flush v3/v4 cache */ mcr p15, 0, r0, c8, c7, 0 /* flush v4 TLB */
/* * disable MMU stuff and caches */ mrc p15, 0, r0, c1, c0, 0 bic r0, r0, #0x00002300 @ clear bits 13, 9:8 (--V- --RS) bic r0, r0, #0x00000087 @ clear bits 7, 2:0 (B--- -CAM) orr r0, r0, #0x00000002 @ set bit 2 (A) Align orr r0, r0, #0x00001000 @ set bit 12 (I) I-Cache mcr p15, 0, r0, c1, c0, 0
If I understand the code correct, the command is wrong, as the I-Cache is enabled.
If I change the initial RAM mapping from first SDRAM partition start address to second unused SDRAM partition start address the ATAGs passing works.
Can somebody confirm that the ATAGs passing works on u-boot 2011.06 for a pxa board.
Is there any reason, that the initial RAM is mapped to SDRAM start address range?
I think now it can be changed. Maybe there was something about OneNAND IPL, I'm not really sure anymore.
What is the best value to use for the initial RAM address mapping?
Addition there is a bug in pxa_dram_init as it is called before relocation and want to trigger some refresh cycles by write some values to the SDRAM start address range but instead writes to the mapped initial RAM.
Patch is welcome please.
Or should I keep the initial RAM mapping to SDRAM start address and move the SDRAM refresh cycles trigger address behind the mapped area.
