There is a good book called Linux Device Driver's from Oreilly

where it has a chapter/session explains how to probe PCI IRQs.

Ebook is free to be downloaded.

Hello all:

I would like to understand if there is a way to program the PCI
interrupt pin register of MPC8540. I did look for this in the
datasheet, but couldn't find any positive answer.

Currently, I am working in a set-up where MPC8540 is an agent,
plugged into the PC host.
I couldn't get an IRQ for the card when plugged in some PCI slots,
whereas in one of the slots I do see a non-zero value.

It would be great if you could help me understand the issue.

I am sorry if the question is inapporpriate in the group. I am
desperate to solve the issue.

Thanks for any help.
You need to find out how the PCI edge interrupts are wired on you
board than we can talk about how to generate an interrupt based on
that.  I'd guess IRQ_OUT is wired to INTA, but it would be good to
verify that.

Hi Kumar,

Actually I do many trials about it. Vxwerks Bootrom is smaller than
U-Boot. The key difference between Bootrom and U-boot is that some
source code of Bootrom is invisible to the users.

Actually the rfi instruction which I point out is the first rfi
instruction of Linux PowerPC bringup.

Before that, it's TLB entry invalidation and temp TLB entry mapping.

I check MMU setting carefully before coming Linux Kernel.

I just want to know if other guys met similar scenario like me. I
don't
need the precise answer, just overall suggestion about it because I

I understand that, thus I was asking what exact problem you were

Anyway thank you.

R9 point to LR register, mask the high 20 bit of r9 and send to r7,
and
then add 24, which means stride 6 instructions for rfi instruction
execution.

Of course, rfi can switch the TLB entry, both the previous TLB
entry and
the temp TLB entry point to the same physical address.

I've checked it.
I know what the code does, I wrote it :)

I implemented do_reset in Linux 2.6 using the
reset method of U-Boot -- turn off the MMU and write
to an invalid address.  Sometimes I the desired reboot.
If I change the code a bit (e.g. put a 'nop' just ahead
of turning off the MMU), I'll get an "Invalid floating
point instruction" exception.  How is that possible??
I didn't thing printk shouldn't would work if the MMU is turned off.
Has anybody seen anything like this?? Thanks!

Subject: ram-disk root file system
To: linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org
Message-ID: [off-list ref]
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"

We are attempting to use an initrd ram-disk as the permanent root file
system for a MPC8541-based system.

We are using ELDK 4 to cross-compile, and are running linux 2.6.15 kernel,
with u-boot 1.1.6 as our bootloader.

I built an initrd file system, compressed it, then ran mkimage against it,
and it seems to be successfully loaded by u-boot, and linux sees the initrd
file and claims to have mounted it.  However, it then reports that it is
unable to find any files on the mounted root file system, as shown in the
log below.  I added some additional diagnostics to show what the error codes
were, and what was happening, but do not understand what I might have done
wrong.  If I boot linux from an NFS system or from compact flash, I am able
to mount the image and see all the files, so I believe the initrd file
system was created correctly.

Here's the trace.  Any help or pointers that anyone can give will be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks,
Dan.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't figure it out from
anything in the source.  I don't want to clutter up the mailing list with
newbie questions so I'd like to get in touch with the person who did the
linux/u-boot port for the MPC8349ITX board and take the discussion off

    I had similar problems with a permanent initramfs filesystem. It is
possible your problem has nothing to do with your filesystem.

    First, I presume the debugging you added was in init/main.c.
          Before you attempt to exec init, you can add code to open
anyfile that you want on the ramdisk. opening a file requires less
things to be right than exec'ing and that may isolate your problem
further. I beleive you can enable system call tracing and find out more
about where things are going off the rails.
          You can also write a trivial hello world - one that does not
use any libraries and very little code, and see if you can exec that.

    When you boot Linux NFS - are you using the same linux kernel ?

Ameet,

I've a few problems to run Linux 2.6.17.1 on ML403 board following your
tutoarial instrcutions.

I've downloaded Linux 2.6.17.1 Kernel source from kernel.org, apply
MVITSA TEMAC patches from PAULUS and then apply the sysace_after_temac
patch.
The Kernel compile properly if I do not include TEMAC and SYSACE. This
kernel boot properly and ends with a kernel panic due to root file
system not detected.

Then If I try to include only SYSACE and EXT3 file support the kernel
did not compile (XST_ASSERT functions not found.... in
xilinx_sysace/adapter.c file)
To compile without source code modification I need to include TEMAC in
the kernel configuration.

This Kernel boot properly, detect sysaxe (xsa: xsa1 xsa2) with a compact
flash with two partitions but hangs just after

[    3.631175]  xsa: xsa1 xsa2
[    3.682436] tun: Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6
[    3.743219] tun: (C) 1999-2004 Max Krasnyansky [off-list ref]
[    3.820309] Data machine check in kernel mode.

If I try to add more kernel configurations based on BYU instructions
(refered on your tutorial) then I only succeed to obtain a :

Oops : Kernel access bad area sig : 11

Error message


The hardware is a design from scratch using EDK 8.2 SP2.
TEMAC version is plb_temac v3.00a, hard-temac v3.00b

I suspect the hardware but I'm not sure about that. Hardware compilation
took a while on my computer so I would appreciate if you could tell me
the temac version you have used to port Linux 2.6.17.1 with TEMAC and
SYSACE.

Furthermore if you have a .config file available for Kernel
configuration it would help me, beacause I'm not familiar with kernel
configuration.

Hello all:

I would like to understand if there is a way to program the PCI
interrupt pin register of MPC8540. I did look for this in the
datasheet, but couldn't find any positive answer.

Currently, I am working in a set-up where MPC8540 is an agent,
plugged into the PC host.
I couldn't get an IRQ for the card when plugged in some PCI slots,
whereas in one of the slots I do see a non-zero value.

It would be great if you could help me understand the issue.

I am sorry if the question is inapporpriate in the group. I am
desperate to solve the issue.

Thanks for any help.
You need to find out how the PCI edge interrupts are wired on you
board than we can talk about how to generate an interrupt based on
that.  I'd guess IRQ_OUT is wired to INTA, but it would be good to
verify that.

Hi Kumar,

Actually I do many trials about it. Vxwerks Bootrom is smaller than
U-Boot. The key difference between Bootrom and U-boot is that some
source code of Bootrom is invisible to the users.

Actually the rfi instruction which I point out is the first rfi
instruction of Linux PowerPC bringup.

Before that, it's TLB entry invalidation and temp TLB entry mapping.

I check MMU setting carefully before coming Linux Kernel.

I just want to know if other guys met similar scenario like me. I
don't
need the precise answer, just overall suggestion about it because I
understand that not everyone has the same bootloader of mine, that
bootloader is actually a customized bootloader.
I understand that, thus I was asking what exact problem you were
seeing to try and help.

Anyway thank you.

R9 point to LR register, mask the high 20 bit of r9 and send to r7,
and
then add 24, which means stride 6 instructions for rfi instruction
execution.

Of course, rfi can switch the TLB entry, both the previous TLB
entry and
the temp TLB entry point to the same physical address.

I've checked it.
I know what the code does, I wrote it :)

Yes IRQ_OUT is wired to INTA.

Could you please advise on how to generate interrupt for this.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

I implemented do_reset in Linux 2.6 using the
reset method of U-Boot -- turn off the MMU and write
to an invalid address.  Sometimes I the desired reboot.
If I change the code a bit (e.g. put a 'nop' just ahead
of turning off the MMU), I'll get an "Invalid floating
point instruction" exception.  How is that possible??
I didn't thing printk shouldn't would work if the MMU is turned off.
Has anybody seen anything like this?? Thanks!

Subject: ram-disk root file system
To: linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org
Message-ID: [off-list ref]
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"

We are attempting to use an initrd ram-disk as the permanent root file
system for a MPC8541-based system.

We are using ELDK 4 to cross-compile, and are running linux 2.6.15 kernel,
with u-boot 1.1.6 as our bootloader.

I built an initrd file system, compressed it, then ran mkimage against it,
and it seems to be successfully loaded by u-boot, and linux sees the initrd
file and claims to have mounted it.  However, it then reports that it is
unable to find any files on the mounted root file system, as shown in the
log below.  I added some additional diagnostics to show what the error codes
were, and what was happening, but do not understand what I might have done
wrong.  If I boot linux from an NFS system or from compact flash, I am able
to mount the image and see all the files, so I believe the initrd file
system was created correctly.

Here's the trace.  Any help or pointers that anyone can give will be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks,
Dan.

anything in the source.  I don't want to clutter up the mailing list with
newbie questions so I'd like to get in touch with the person who did the

    I had similar problems with a permanent initramfs filesystem. It is
possible your problem has nothing to do with your filesystem.

    First, I presume the debugging you added was in init/main.c.
          Before you attempt to exec init, you can add code to open
anyfile that you want on the ramdisk. opening a file requires less
things to be right than exec'ing and that may isolate your problem
further. I beleive you can enable system call tracing and find out more
about where things are going off the rails.
          You can also write a trivial hello world - one that does not
use any libraries and very little code, and see if you can exec that.

    When you boot Linux NFS - are you using the same linux kernel ?

Ameet,

I've a few problems to run Linux 2.6.17.1 on ML403 board following your
tutoarial instrcutions.

I've downloaded Linux 2.6.17.1 Kernel source from kernel.org, apply
MVITSA TEMAC patches from PAULUS and then apply the sysace_after_temac
patch.
The Kernel compile properly if I do not include TEMAC and SYSACE. This
kernel boot properly and ends with a kernel panic due to root file
system not detected.

Then If I try to include only SYSACE and EXT3 file support the kernel
did not compile (XST_ASSERT functions not found.... in
xilinx_sysace/adapter.c file)
To compile without source code modification I need to include TEMAC in
the kernel configuration.

This Kernel boot properly, detect sysaxe (xsa: xsa1 xsa2) with a compact
flash with two partitions but hangs just after

[    3.631175]  xsa: xsa1 xsa2
[    3.682436] tun: Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6
[    3.743219] tun: (C) 1999-2004 Max Krasnyansky [off-list ref]
[    3.820309] Data machine check in kernel mode.

If I try to add more kernel configurations based on BYU instructions
(refered on your tutorial) then I only succeed to obtain a :

Oops : Kernel access bad area sig : 11

Error message


The hardware is a design from scratch using EDK 8.2 SP2.
TEMAC version is plb_temac v3.00a, hard-temac v3.00b

I suspect the hardware but I'm not sure about that. Hardware compilation
took a while on my computer so I would appreciate if you could tell me
the temac version you have used to port Linux 2.6.17.1 with TEMAC and
SYSACE.

Furthermore if you have a .config file available for Kernel
configuration it would help me, beacause I'm not familiar with kernel
configuration.
