Re: [U-Boot-Users] [DNX#2006072742000044] [PATCH] fix the incorrect dcbz operation of 83xx

Hello list,

inside the automatic U-Boot patch tracking system a new ticket [DNX#2006072742000044] was created:

<snip>

All,

The 834x Rev1.1 silicon has one bug inside. The issue is when the dcache locked with HID0[DLOCK], the dcbz instruction looks like no-op instruction.

The right behavior of the dcache is when the dcache locked with HID0[DLOCK], the dcbz instruction allocates new tags in cache.

The bug is only in 834x rev1.1, PVR is 0x80830011. The 834x rev2.0 and later and 8360 have not this bug inside.

So, when 834x rev2.0/8360 are working with ECC, the dcbz instruction will corrupt the stack in cache, the processor will checkstop reset.

However, the 834x rev1.1 can work with ECC with these code, because the sillicon has this cache bug. The dcbz will not corrupt the stack in cache. Really, it is the fault code running fault sillicon.

This patch fix the incorrect dcbz operation. Instead of CPU FP writing to initialise the ECC.

CHANGELOG:

• fix the incorrect dcbz operation instead of CPU FP writing to

initialise the ECC memory. Patch by Dave Liu, 21 July 2006
