Re: Altera Stratix II support

Hi David & All,

I have successfully integrated Altera Stratix II (fast passive
parallel) into the existing FPGA framework within u-boot.

so in u-boot it looks like this

==================== u-boot console =====================================
=> fpga info
Altera Device
Descriptor  <at>  0x0fff474c
Family:         Stratix II
Interface type: Fast Passive Parallel (FPP)
Device Size:    1 bytes
Cookie:         0x0 (0)
Device Function Table  <at>  0x0fff255c
=> bunzip ff000000 200000 3c58c
BUNZIP2: decompressed image address & size: 0x00200000 0x930d2c (9637164)
=> fpga load 0 200000 930d2c
loading to fpga  done.
=========================================================================

I have attached two patches which are applied against the latest
stable u-boot-1.1.6.
The first is only the generic stuff needed for Stratix II support.
The second contains my new board with a specific implementation of a
Stratix II FPGA along with other add-ons and fixes

If there is any wish / demand / need to port any or all of this into
the main trunk, tell me what to be done as I have never done so in the

U-Boot 1.1.6 is by far not "latest". Actually  it  is  very  old  and
outdated.  Please resubmit your patches against *current* code, i. e.
against the top-of-tree version in the git repository.

Your patches cannot be applied current code:

Re: Porting U-Boot on to Cogent CSB535FS

Hi All,

  Thanks for all the Help. I will now try to replace Micromonitor with U Boot.

Did you test the code in the u-boot-testing  repository?  I  did  not
receive any feedback from you (nor any form others).

Best regards,

Hi Eran,

Sounds great!

I'm slammed at the moment working on hardware, so won't
get to absorb your work just yet. I notice a few comments
from Wolfgang on using the git head, and coding style
comments, so I guess you'll be working on those.

Just to refresh me, this is an 8548 with a Stratix II
configured by bit-banging I/O on the processor?
Is the FPGA on the local bus, or is it a PCI device
that U-Boot needs to configure?

Out of interest, what's the FPGA being used for?
 From your files ... extricom/exsw6000, and http://www.extricom.com,
it looks like this is a new wireless lan based product.

I've got schematics that should have been kicked out the
door months ago ... so I'll be back to those for a few
more weeks :(  As soon as I put my software-developer hat
back on I'll look in more detail at your patch, and see if
I can hack together the MPC8349E-MDS-PB and a Stratix II
kit to see if I can configure the FPGA.

Cheers

Using common CFI driver and mtdparts


Hi,

I'm porting u-boot to a Moxa UC7420 box. This device uses two 16Bit
Intel CFI 28F128 (16MB) flashes on CS0 and CS1. Both devices have
adjected address space and used as a single logical unit of 32MB from
linux. 

In u-boot the CFI driver detects them as two banks each 16MB.

The root partition is starting on the first flash and ends somewhere on
the second being about 30MB in size.

The mtdparts command doesn't like this setup.

I tried disabling the common CFI driver, and fake-aranged a single flash
bank setup. Now mtdparts works perfect, but I have to use the board
supplied flash stubs and add special handling for the baseaddress
selection of some CFI commands. Right now this is really unsatisfying.

Is there some proposed and recommended way to configure u-boot for such
a setup? Is there a way to map two adjected flash chips to a single
mtd-dev name?

Regards
Carsten
