  • Commit ccbc60d3e19a1b6ae66ca0d89b3da02dde62088b requires CPU
    topology information even in !SMP cases. This requires C6X to
    add a call tp register_cpu() in order to avoid a panic at
    boot time.

  • Some SoCs have a timer block enable controlled through the DSCR registers.
    There is a problem in the timer64 driver initialization where the code
    accesses a timer register to get the divisor used to calculate timer clock
    rate. If the timer block has not been enabled when this register read takes
    place, an exception is generated. This patch makes sure that the timer block
    is enabled before accessing the registers.

  • All SoCs provide an area of device configuration registers called the DSCR. The
    location of specific registers as well as their use varies considerably from
    implementation to implementation. Rather than having to rely on additional
    SoC-specific DSCR code for each new supported SoC, this code generalize things
    as much as possible using device tree properties. Initialization must take
    place early on (setup_arch time) in case the event timer device needs to be
    enable via the DSCR.

  • Several SoC parts provide a simple bridge to support external memory mapped
    devices. This code probes the device tree for an EMIF node and sets up the
    bridge registers if such a node is found. Beyond initial set up, there is no
    further need to access the bridge control registers. External devices on the
    bus are accessed through their MMIO registers using suitable drivers. The
    bridge hardware does provide for timeout and other error interrupts, but these
    are not yet supported.

  • The C6X SoCs contain several PLL controllers each with up to 16 clock outputs
    feeding into the cores or peripheral clock domains. The hardware is very similar
    to arm/mach-davinci clocks. This is still a work in progress which needs to be
    updated once device tree clock binding changes shake out.

    The C6X architecture currently lacks an MMU so memory management is relatively
    simple. There is no bus snooping between L2 and main memory but coherent DMA
    memory is supported by making regions of main memory uncached. If such a region
    is desired, it can be specified on the commandline with a "memdma=" argument.

  • This is the basic devicetree support for C6X. Currently, four boards are
    supported. Each one uses a different SoC part. Two of the four supported
    SoCs are multicore. One with 3 cores and the other with 6 cores. There is
    no coherency between the core-level caches, so SMP is not an option. It is
    possible to run separate kernel instances on the various cores. There is
    currently no C6X bootloader support for device trees so we build in the DTB
    for now.

    There are some interesting twists to the hardware which are of note for device
    tree support. Each core has its own interrupt controller which is controlled
    by special purpose core registers. This core controller provides 12 general
    purpose prioritized interrupt sources. Each core is contained within a
    hardware "module" which provides L1 and L2 caches, power control, and another
    interrupt controller which cascades into the core interrupt controller. These
    core module functions are controlled by memory mapped registers. The addresses
    for these registers are the same for each core. That is, when coreN accesses
    a module-level MMIO register at a given address, it accesses the register for
    coreN even though other cores would use the same address to access the register
    in the module containing those cores. Other hardware modules (timers, enet, etc)
    which are memory mapped can be accessed by all cores.

    The timers need some further explanation for multicore SoCs. Even though all
    timer control registers are visible to all cores, interrupt routing or other
    considerations may make a given timer more suitable for use by a core than
    some other timer. Because of this and the desire to have the same image run
    on more than one core, the timer nodes have a "ti,core-mask" property which
    is used by the driver to scan for a suitable timer to use.

    This patch provides the early boot code for C6X architecture. There is a
    16 entry vector table which is used to direct reset and interrupt events. The
    vector table entries contain a small amount of code (maximum of 8 opcodes)
    which simply branches to the actual event handling code.

    The head.S code simply clears BSS, setups up a few control registers, and calls
    machine_init followed by start_kernel. The machine_init code in setup.c does
    the early flat tree parsing (memory, commandline, etc). At setup_arch time, the
    code does the usual memory setup and minimally scans the devicetree for any
    needed information.
