Re: MVL Linux on MPC8560 Booting goes into infinite loop inearly_init memset_io ( )

2008-04-08 Thread Deepak Gaur
Hi,

Thanks for valuable inputs.. memset_io() issue got resolved after I invalidated 
the L1
data and Instruction cache before calling early_init(was mentioned in some 
mailing list
). The code execution resumed and somewhere during MMU_init it again got 
struck.This
time its due to a DataTLBError. I am now trying to trace the function causing 
TLB miss
using ICE Trace32. Any pointers for reason behind generation of DataTLBError 
during MMU_init

Thanks  

Deepak Gaur

 Agreed!  I was about to respond to your new post, and then I
 discovered this nearly identical slightly older post.

 Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but those symbols inside the
 BSS should only be variables (not functions) which are initialized
 to zero.  The whole reason for BSS is to initialize variables to a
 0/null value.
 
 Now, about the infinite loop.  Can you check to see if perhaps you are
 getting an exception?
 
 I have no experience with the MPC8560, but I've seen a couple problems
 that occur involving memset_io.  What happens is that a TLB miss
 exception occurs when the CPU gets inside of memset_io.  Do you have
 the ability to check that with a debugger (by setting breakpoints at
 exceptions, such as the data and instruction TLB miss exceptions) to
 see if you are getting exceptions?

TSEC3/4 broken on MPC8548?

2008-04-08 Thread Wolfgang Grandegger
Hello,

in the dts file for the MPC8548CDS the nodes for TSEC3/4 are commented
out because they seem to be broken:

  $ grep broken arch/powerpc/boot/dts/*
  arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc8548cds.dts:/* eTSEC 3/4 are currently broken

Is it still true?

TIA.

Wolfgang.

This was a board issue and not a chip issue.  However I'm not sure if  
the board issues have been resolved.  Hopefully Andy will know.
