Hi Scott,
No, MCC1 PRAM starts at offset 0x8700. Any other areas used are under software control.
Yes, you are right. But, I was refereing to MCC channel specific HDLC parameters. Reason: I am using the MCC2 which uses memory from offset 0x2000 to 0x4000 for Chan Specific parameters. you can see that in MCC chapter i.e. 29.3.1 on a MPC8280 manual. (channel specific HDLC parameters) I need to make sure that cpm_dpalloc is not using this part of DPRAM to allocate memory. I just wanne make sure no other device driver that use cpm_dpalloc to allocate memory for their BDs i.e. scc, smc, fcc. and it looks to me like it is allocating me memory starting from 0x128 or 0x400.
This is obsolete arch/ppc stuff and should be removed; the SMC pram is now dynamically allocated and relocated (and before that, it came from the device tree).
Yes, I am using 2.6.19.2. I am right now in the middle of finalizing the BSP port. So, I cannot move on further to device trees. I will doing that stuff with in a month but now I am with 2.6.19.2. Regards, Adams
