PCI support on the ML310 (Linux 2.4/2.6)

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, Bin! I checked system.mhs and "C_BRIDGE_IDSEL_ADDR_BIT" was set to 16, but the code that was in pci_init( ) was the code for as if "C_BRIDGE_IDSEL_ADDR_BIT" was set to 24. After replacing the code in pci_init( ), the PCI now initializes. However, after the ML310 initialization finishes, the system hangs at "Now booting the kernel". I remember encountering this problem when I was porting Linux 2.6. It had to do with a linker problem and after rolling back to gcc-4.0.2, I got past the problem. I'm using Linux 2.4, though, so that solution will not work here... I am using UART Lite and I made sure that it (and not UART 16550) was selected in the kernel configuration and that "Console on UART Lite port" was selected as well. I also made sure that UART Lite was what was chosen when I built the BSP. Oh, and there is a /dev/ttyUL0 device node in my root file system. I even did a "make mrproper" and re-did the kernel configuration, but that did not solve my problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

As far as I know, only MVista has complete PCI support for ML310. I have  
been migrating their PCI stuff to 2.6 kernel for couple of months so I might  
understand what you are suffering here. 

If your system hangs just after "Xilinx ML310 Board-Specific  
Initialization:", then probably there is something wrong with your OPB-PCI  
core on virtex-2 FPGA. I highly recommend you double check the value of  
"C_BRIDGE_IDSEL_ADDR_BIT" within your system.mhs file. 

When the 2.4/2.6 kernel tries to initialize pci core, it has to do self- 
configuration first. If the wrong address is assigned in pci_init(), then  
the kernel could not proceed any more. 

Here is what you need to take care of: 

for C_BRIDGE_IDSEL_ADDR_BIT = 24, use 
pci_init()
{
    /* self-configuration */
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_ADDR, htole32(0x80004004)); // address
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_DATA, htole32(0xffff0147)); // data
    /* max latency timer on bridge */
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_ADDR, htole32(0x8000400c)); // address
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_DATA, htole32(0x0000ff00)); // data
    /* max bus number */
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_ADDR+8, htole32(0xff000000));
};

for C_BRIDGE_IDSEL_ADDR_BIT = 16, use 
pci_init()
{
    /* self-configuration */
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_ADDR, htole32(0x80000004)); // address
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_DATA, htole32(0xffff0147)); // data
    /* max latency timer on bridge */
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_ADDR, htole32(0x8000000c)); // address
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_DATA, htole32(0x0000ff00)); // data
    /* max bus number */
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_ADDR+8, htole32(0xff000000));
};

You may check Xilinx's user guide 241 for more details. 

Porting BSP from EDK9.1 to MVista 2.4 should be quite straightforward, but  
porting them to 2.6 virtex is a little bit vague. If you are trying to use IDE  
southbridge, I could recommend you start from 2.6.10 rather than 2.6 virtex  
because driver/ide/pci/alim15x3.c has been updated a lot and I  
hate to say that a none-disclosure agreement on alim15x3 makes it time consuming  
to understand super I/O on ml310. If you just need PCI bus function, then life
will much more easier but you still need be care of about opb-pci core parameters

Hi,

I am trying to get PCI support on the ML310. I was able to port Linux 
2.6 (linux-2.6-virtex from Secret Lab) onto the board, but unfortunately 
there is no PCI support in the kernel. When I enabled PCI support, I got 
the same errors (see below) that were reported on the Secret Lab Wiki.

I went back to Linux 2.4 (v2.4.20_mvl31-ml300), but the system hangs 
during ml310_init( ), specifically when it gets to pci_init( ), in 
ml310.c. I put some print statements in ml310.c to debug and found out 
that it gets pass the first two lines in pci_init( ) before hanging. 
Basically, all I get on my screen is:


Xilinx ML310 Board-Specific Initialization:


ml310_init( ) looks like this:


void
ml310_init()
{
    prints("\n\n");
    prints("Xilinx ML310 Board-Specific Initialization:\n");
    prints("\n");


    pci_init();
    ppb_init(9);
    pci_scan();
    sio_init();
    sbr_init();
};


and pci_init( ) looks like this:


void
pci_init()
{
    /* self-configuration */
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_ADDR, htole32(0x80004004)); // address
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_DATA, htole32(0xffff0147)); // data
    /* max latency timer on bridge */
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_ADDR, htole32(0x8000400c)); // address
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_DATA, htole32(0x0000ff00)); // data
    /* max bus number */
    WR32(PCI_CONFIG_ADDR+8, htole32(0xff000000));
};


ml310.c was generated when I made the BSP in Xilinx EDK 9.1. I copied 
it, along with the other files from the BSP, into the kernel source. I 
am using a Crosstool cross-compiler, gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.3.3. I have also 
tried the linuxppc-2.4 and mvistappc_2_4_devel kernels from 
source.mvista.com, but those both crashed with similar (and several) 
errors concerning ide-taskfile.c during compilation.

Is anybody aware of how to manually map the PCI constants in 2.6 and 
willing to help me map them? Does anybody have an idea why pci_init( ) 
is getting stuck? Any suggestions, in general, would be greatly appreciated.

Let me know if I need to provide more information or code. Thanks!
