[U-Boot] What to do for a working BIOSEMU and ATI_RADEON_FB environment?

Hi!
I own a phytec's pcm-030 with the shipped baseboard pcm-973. I would like to use a radeon 9200 pci card in the slot on the baseboard.
I have done a git checkout of the u-boot and I am using the 'board support patch for phyCORE-MPC5200B-tiny' from the mailing list.
To provide the necessary informations here some outputs the u-boot command line:

Then I prepared to access the following memory addresses:
00.1a.00: BAR0, BAR1, BAR2 uboot> md 0xf0000000 1 f0000000: 0000f000 .... uboot> md 0x00000008 1 00000008: 00c43004 ..0. uboot> md 0x00000000 1 00000000: 12c40044 ...D

But this should be okay, because the card requieres some "BIOS" initialization code to be run (i believe). See: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2004-November/007754.html
Then I added the following lines to u-boot configuration file for phyCORE-MPC5200B-tiny: #define CONFIG_VIDEO #ifdef CONFIG_VIDEO #define CONFIG_BIOSEMU /* x86 bios emulator for vga bios */ #define CONFIG_ATI_RADEON_FB /* use radeon framebuffer driver */ #define VIDEO_IO_OFFSET CONFIG_PCI_IO_BUS #define CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_BASE_ADDRESS VIDEO_IO_OFFSET #define CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR #define CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO #define CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE #define CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN #define CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE #define CONFIG_CMD_BMP #endif
(Is VIDEO_IO_OFFSET okay? Is CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_BASE_ADDRESS needed?)
When I start the board with that u-boot configuration (I define DEBUG in ./video/ati_radeon_fb.c) I get the following messages:
CPU: MPC5200B v2.2, Core v1.4 at 400 MHz Bus 133.333 MHz, IPB 133.333 MHz, PCI 33.333 MHz Board: phyCORE-MPC5200B-tiny I2C: ready DRAM: 64 MB SP: 0x03e45758 FLASH: 16 MB PCI: Bus Dev VenId DevId Class Int 00 18 1002 5c63 0300 ff 00 18 1002 5c43 0380 ff 00 1a 1057 5809 0680 00 ATI Radeon video card (1002, 5c63) found @(0:24:0) videoboot: Booting PCI video card bus 0, function 0, device 24 radeonfb: Found 0k of SDRAM 64 bits wide videoram Radeon: framebuffer base phy address 0x40000000,MMIO base phy address 0x44000000,framebuffer local base 0xfb400000. 640x480x8 31kHz 59Hz Cursor Start 4004b000 Pattern Start 4004c000
Then the system hangs again.
I prepare to find the line that is responsible and believe it is in the file './video/ati_radeon_fb.c' in the function 'void *video_hw_init(void)' When the video memory will be accessed.
/* Clear video memory (only visible screen area) */ i = pGD->winSizeX * pGD->winSizeY * pGD->gdfBytesPP / 4; vm = (unsigned int *) pGD->pciBase; while (i--) *vm++ = 0; <-- HERE !!
So, what can I do? Can somebody help me.
Something to say about the baseboard from the patch set of the current BSP. There is the device tree changed (pcm030.dts) with this comment:
=========== The regular shipped PCM-973 baseboard has only processor's IRQ0 routed as INT A to the single slot.
This means, the interrupt routing map must be much smaller to get a correct behaviour.
The current DTS also contains a second slot definition, that was never present on this type of baseboard.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attention: The restriction in available interrupt channels prevent the usage of multi function PCI devices! Its impossible to use other functions than the first one, if the other functions are using INT B...INT D for their interrupt. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems the PCM-973 supports three additional (not soldered) resistors, to route the missed INT B... INT D signals to processor's IRQ1...IRQ3. This need some help from the manufacturer to find resistor's right locations. --> Unresolved yet. ===========
But the device tree is not the problem at this step, or am I missing something?

VIDEO_IO_OFFSET seems to be Ok. CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_BASE_ADDRESS is not really needed, but ati_radeon_fb.c driver can't be compiled without it currently.

Try to define CONFIG_PCI_IO_BUS and CONFIG_PCI_IO_PHYS in 'include/configs/pcm030.h' as follows:
#define CONFIG_PCI_IO_BUS 0x00000000 #define CONFIG_PCI_IO_PHYS 0x50000000

I forgot to mention that you additionally have to define VIDEO_IO_OFFSET as CONFIG_PCI_IO_PHYS than. So try to use
#define CONFIG_PCI_IO_BUS 0x00000000 #define CONFIG_PCI_IO_PHYS 0x50000000 #define VIDEO_IO_OFFSET CONFIG_PCI_IO_PHYS

So, I see now the u-boot on the monitor. More tests will follow.
I changed also CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN and CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN. I do not know, what are the minimum values that are working. But 128 and 256 for CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN are to small and with the above values it is working - so it is okay for me.
Where can I read more about that options (and the options for video)? Are there documentations or should I read the source code (that is no problem, but it will be cost a lot of time)?
Thanks again.
Greats, Markus

CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN could probably be 384 kB or 512 kB. It depends on included (configured) drivers and U-Boot commands. 1024 kB is too big here, i think. 1024 kB for CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN is OK.
Where can I read more about that options (and the options for video)? Are there documentations or should I read the source code (that is no problem, but it will be cost a lot of time)?
u-boot/README contains a description of these options. Video related options are described there too. README also describes "videomode" U-Boot environment variable for selection of display resolution and color depth.

Then I prepared to access the following memory addresses:
00.1a.00: BAR0, BAR1, BAR2 uboot> md 0xf0000000 1 f0000000: 0000f000 .... uboot> md 0x00000008 1 00000008: 00c43004 ..0. uboot> md 0x00000000 1 00000000: 12c40044 ...D

00.18.00: BAR0, BAR1, BAR2 uboot> md 0x48000008 1 48000008: --> hang uboot> md 0x4c000000 1 4c000000: 00000000 .... uboot> md 0x00000000 1 00000000: 12c40044 ...D
But this should be okay, because the card requieres some "BIOS" initialization code to be run (i believe). See: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2004-November/007754.html
Then I added the following lines to u-boot configuration file for phyCORE-MPC5200B-tiny:
#define CONFIG_VIDEO #ifdef CONFIG_VIDEO #define CONFIG_BIOSEMU /* x86 bios emulator for vga bios */ #define CONFIG_ATI_RADEON_FB /* use radeon framebuffer driver */ #define VIDEO_IO_OFFSET CONFIG_PCI_IO_BUS #define CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_BASE_ADDRESS VIDEO_IO_OFFSET #define CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR #define CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO #define CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE #define CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN #define CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE #define CONFIG_CMD_BMP #endif
(Is VIDEO_IO_OFFSET okay? Is CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_BASE_ADDRESS needed?)
When I start the board with that u-boot configuration (I define DEBUG in ./video/ati_radeon_fb.c) I get the following messages:
CPU: MPC5200B v2.2, Core v1.4 at 400 MHz Bus 133.333 MHz, IPB 133.333 MHz, PCI 33.333 MHz Board: phyCORE-MPC5200B-tiny I2C: ready DRAM: 64 MB SP: 0x03e45758 FLASH: 16 MB PCI: Bus Dev VenId DevId Class Int 00 18 1002 5c63 0300 ff 00 18 1002 5c43 0380 ff 00 1a 1057 5809 0680 00 ATI Radeon video card (1002, 5c63) found @(0:24:0) videoboot: Booting PCI video card bus 0, function 0, device 24 radeonfb: Found 0k of SDRAM 64 bits wide videoram Radeon: framebuffer base phy address 0x40000000,MMIO base phy address 0x44000000,framebuffer local base 0xfb400000. 640x480x8 31kHz 59Hz Cursor Start 4004b000 Pattern Start 4004c000
Then the system hangs again.
I prepare to find the line that is responsible and believe it is in the file './video/ati_radeon_fb.c' in the function 'void *video_hw_init(void)' When the video memory will be accessed.
/* Clear video memory (only visible screen area) */ i = pGD->winSizeX * pGD->winSizeY * pGD->gdfBytesPP / 4; vm = (unsigned int *) pGD->pciBase; while (i--) *vm++ = 0; <-- HERE !!
This is hanging on a write to the PCI bus. Print out the vm pointer and make sure it is pointing to an area that is mapped into memory. To investigate further exit the code before trying to write. Use u-boot commands to then probe the memory and make sure everything is setup. Running the video BIOS may have reprogrammed the BARs.
I've also noticed that the u-boot code is not setting up the PCI controller to cause a machine exception on a read/write to an invalid address. Or maybe the machine check is happening and u-boot is hanging when it tries to handle it. You may be getting a machine check on this write, and then u-boot goes off in the weeds trying to process it.
I don't have a PCI capable baseboard so I can't try this.
So, what can I do? Can somebody help me.
Something to say about the baseboard from the patch set of the current BSP. There is the device tree changed (pcm030.dts) with this comment:
=========== The regular shipped PCM-973 baseboard has only processor's IRQ0 routed as INT A to the single slot.
This means, the interrupt routing map must be much smaller to get a correct behaviour.
The current DTS also contains a second slot definition, that was never present on this type of baseboard.
Attention: The restriction in available interrupt channels prevent the usage of multi function PCI devices! Its impossible to use other functions than the first one, if the other functions are using INT B...INT D for their interrupt.
It seems the PCM-973 supports three additional (not soldered) resistors, to route the missed INT B... INT D signals to processor's IRQ1...IRQ3. This need some help from the manufacturer to find resistor's right locations. --> Unresolved yet. ===========
But the device tree is not the problem at this step, or am I missing something? _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot

Hi!
I own a phytec's pcm-030 with the shipped baseboard pcm-973. I would like to use a radeon 9200 pci card in the slot on the baseboard.
BTW what you are doing will definitely work if you can get it debugged. I have used a similar setup on my Efika but it doesn't run u-boot.
