Can you insert dump_stack() when '00' is registered, not just second

[PATCH] PPC440EP Interrupt Triggering and Level Settings

2008-02-10 Thread Wolfgang Ocker
From: Wolfgang Ocker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Corrected IRQ triggering and level settings according to latest revision
of the 440EP User Manual (rev 1.24 nov 16, 2007).

The incorrect settings might cause a failure of the network if both
onchip ethernet ports are under heavy load.

This doesn't seem right.  warp_fixup_one_nor() changes only the
partition's offset, so you're not changing the size of any
partitions.  If you're not going to actually use any of the extra
flash space with 64M, I can't see why you'd bother moving around the
partitions you have.

In practice, probably not.  We already do a similar fixup on Ebony for
different flash layouts that won't leave the unit names correct.  We
really should get this right - and the fdt_set_name() function that's
now in libfdt should make that possible, it just needs some wiring up
to use in the bootwrapper.  That can come later, though, for now I
think applying your fixups without correcting the unit addresses is
adequate.

I think this also came from Ebony.  IIRC, the sysclk isn't strictly
speaking fixed, although it almost always has initialized value.  The
point of the local variable was that I planned to replace the static
initialization with some sort of probing once I figured out the
details.

u-boot must be at the bottom of the flash. Also, for the 64M NOR flash 
you can put everything in the NOR flash, I just don't show the 
partitions. Booting from NOR is *much* faster than  booting from NAND.

That makes sense. I don't think you can probe for the sysclk on the 
taco, so I may just put it as a constant to the function.

I guess what is confusing is that I am actually working with 3 flash 
maps right now, although there will only be one map in the final version.

Map1:

NOR:
  Kernel @ 0
  Ramdisk
  User
  FPGA
  Env
  U-boot @ 63.5M

Map 2:

NOR:
  FPGA
  Env
  U-boot @ 63.5M
NAND:
  Kernel @ 0
  Ramdisk
  User

Map 3:
  Same as Map 2 only 4M NOR rather than 64M, so u-boot @ 3.5M.


The u-boot, env, and FPGA are anchored at the bottom of the flash. 
Kernel is anchored at the top. Everything else goes in the middle.

The FPGA partition contains the FPGA image. The user partition contains 
a persistent JFFS2 file system. I don't use the user partition, so it 
doesn't show up in the map I sent.

So map 1 was used until we got the NAND working. Map 2 is an interim 
solution until we get the 4M flash. Map 3 is the final version.

Cheers,
   Sean

Well, I'm back from holidays now, so I will resume looking at this.  I
hope we can merge it soon, yes.

Well, because I still think of it as a low-level "only use if you
really know what you're doing" type function (which is what _ is
supposed to indicate; truly private functions don't need the fdt_
prefix at all).

Sorry, still not really following what's going on.  Without worrying

My experience is the opposite: fatal is very useful even with a hardware 
debugger.  Since the code knows what is wrong, one only has to get the printf 
assembly buffer out of the map and dump it out.  Also, one can find which 
function called fatal from the nia and/or lr.  Much much easier than figuring 
out what happend when the prcessor jumps into the middle of code because it 
took an exception.

Also, one can patch in a debug output routine, possibly even in the 
__zlib_init.  Having the assertions is good.

That said, we should be conservative in calling something an error.
