[U-Boot] P4080 Reset Vector

[MArunKumar]

Hi
Im new to u-boot. Right now im in the process of customizing P4080DS(RDB) to
my board.
My doubt is, for P4080 the reset vec address is 0x0_ffff_fffc. 
1) But in the config.mk file it is mentioned as 0xefff_fffc wat it mean?.

Regards
M.Arunkumar

This is because the link address is 0xeff80000.  We end up running at this address after the initial boot.

Hi All,

Could you tell me where can I download U-Boot for p4080, I have this board now.

Thanks

What board?  You can basic support for P4080 in the git tree for u-boot.

Thanks Kumar,

Now I am use p4080ds board from freescale, I download U-Boot

2010.06 version.I check the board code for freescale, just

find p2020 directory, no p4080 board.

You said U-Boot has basic support for P4080, can you give

some more detail informaion such as file name or directory

name?

Best Regards,
/Tony

If you can get the P4080DS board from Freecale,
Why did not you ask local Freescale sales to get the SDK software?
There is all u-boot and kernel source code in the SDK software.

Thanks,
 Dave

Hi Kumar Gala

Thanks for ur kind reply.

Till, I am not clear why the resect vector points different
address(0xefff_fffc).

The reset vector is 0xfffffffc.  0xeffffffc is where the reset vector
code sits once flash has been remapped.  Until that remapping happens,
you can't use any absolute addresses by symbol.

Thanks Dave and All,

For that reset address question, I think because p4080ds's FPGA can do this
address decode and map 0xefffxxxx to 0xffffxxxx setting by SW7, is it right?

I also has another quesition, if I choose boot from bank0, why RCW should be
programmed into address 0xe8000000? is it a rule of chip design?

No. FPGA doesn't matter with it.

The e500mc core boot start address(0xFFFF_FFFC) will point to the end of
CS0 Flash due to OR0[AM]=0.
In this phase, the core is using the relative addressing.
After you change the BR0,OR0, you can use absolute addressing.

Keep in mind, the bootloader is placed to the end of CS0, and the RCW is
placed to the start of CS0.

 Thanks Dave, 

It look same as other PQ2/3 which using BR0/OR0 to set boot vecror base address.

just confirm, do you know CPU will read RCW data before it jump to 0xFFFF_FFFC?

Yes. CPU reset module must fetch RCW and configure CPU itself.
then reset to 0xFFFF_FFFC, it is also same as PQ3.

hi
Kindly let me know how the branch instruction is loaded in reset vector
address (0xffff_fffc), but i have mapped my boot flash  from 0xE000_0000 to
EFFF_FFFF in LAW. 
please clarify me.

When the chip starts execution, the boot vector is mapped at
0xfffffffc.  The boot code then changes the flash mapping (with an
interim state where it's mapped repeatedly throughout the address
space) before it runs any code that depends on the link address.
