Hi,

I've been trying to get SRAM working with ppcboot v 2.0. My SRAM is a Samsung K1S321615M UtRAM - we are using this due to it's high capacity and low noise.

I am using (largely butchered) code based on the gen860t. Currently I have it configured in ppcboot on CS2:

#define BR2 0x00000081 #define OR2 0xfc000100

and my upm table is: 0x00f3fc04, 0x00f3cc04, 0x00f3cc04, 0x10f3ec04, 0xf1f7fc04, 0xfffffc04, 0x0fffcc24, 0x0fffcc04, 0x08ffcc00, 0x03ffcc4c, 0x08ffcc00, 0x03ffcc4c, 0x08ffcc00, 0x03ffcc4c, 0x08ffcc00, 0x33ffcc47, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffcc04, 0xc0ffdc04, 0x00ff4c04, 0x00ffcc04, 0x00ffcc04, 0x10ffec04, 0xf1fffc04, 0xfffffc04, 0x0fafcc04, 0x0cafcc00, 0x01afcc4c, 0x0cafcc00, 0x01afcc4c, 0x0cafcc00, 0x01afcc4c, 0x0cafcc00, 0x31bfcc43, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xc0ffcc84, 0xfffffc05, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0x33ffcc07, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff

from mcuinit.

dumping variables, i have MAMR at 0x00000000 and MPTPR at 0x0000 (i have not set MAR to anything tho)

i have also made sure that my MCR has been set to CS2 -> to upmconfig() in cpu/mpc8xx/cpu.c i have modified the MCR line:

memctl->memc_mcr = addr | upm | 0x00004100;

with all this in place, I am quite certain that I have turned off the refresh timers associated with UPMA, however, ppcboot still refuses to copy successfully into SRAM.

I tried to set a breakpoint at the "relocate_code" so by that time it should have configured the UPMA table, however, trying to even do a set {int} 0x0 = 0xaaaaaaaa does not work.

AFAIK, it also does configure the UPMA table before setting or2 and br2.

With the same parameters outlined above, I have been able to enter the same things using GDB - i have written macros to enter in the mdr/mcr variables as well as configure the BRx and ORx (I can write and read from SRAM).

We have thought about using GPCM, but due to the SRAM requiring bank select functionality, it is a non-option.

Can anyone help me with this problem?? Has anyone used similar technology - no DRAM??

Thanks in advance, My Hong Vuong
