  • e9a43850e   AVR32: Get rid of board_early_init ... Browse Code »

    board_early_init() is left over from some early prototyping work
    where we had to initialize the SDRAM controller ourselves. This
    depends on the kernel being loaded into static RAM, which just
    isn't possible on any commercially available products today.

    In order to run without a boot loader, we need to create a zImage
    stub or have the debugger initialize the SDRAM for us (for really
    low-level debugging)

    This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000
    CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board.

    AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for
    cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power
    consumption and high code density. The AVR32 architecture is not binary
    compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures.

    The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
    AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from

    http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf

    The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture. It
    features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full
    Memory Management Unit. It also comes with a large set of integrated
    peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from
    Atmel.

    Full data sheet is available from

    http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf

    while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by
    the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from

    http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf

    Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at

    http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918

    including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development
    tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for
    booting from SD card.

    Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at
    http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links
    to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling
    environment for avr32-linux.

    This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the
    toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
