Hi, I think the the mapping of virtual to physical address may be important ... i believe ram should be at 0xc0000000 for a number of reasons ... there is lots of posts regarding this ...
What I am worried about is "rules of thumb" for example i have an ASIC on cs4 ... at BR4 0x08000000 ... I would like to map it to 0x08000000 in the MMU ... i would just like to be sure this is an ok address to check ... or if there is some generally accepts address range for "non memeory" device stuff ... I assume 'no' ... but i also assume the immr address and sdram address didn't matter at one time ... Jim On Wed, 22 Jan 2003, Rod Boyce wrote: > > I think you have the wrong end of the stick.
