- Add support for Altera FPGA ACEX1K
* Patches by Thomas Lange, 09 Oct 2003:
- Endian swap ATA identity for all big endian CPUs, not just PPC
- MIPS only: New option CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES for passing memsize
args to linux
- add support for dbau1x00 board (MIPS32)

----------------------------------------
|
|
DbAu1000 is a development board from AMD containing
|
|
an Alchemy AU1000 with mips32 core.
|
|
|
|
Limitations & comments
|
|
----------------------
|
|
I assume that you set board to BIG endian!
|
|
Little endian not tested, most probably broken.
|
|
|
|
I named the board dbau1x00, to allow
|
|
support for all three development boards
|
|
some day ( dbau1000, dbau1100 and dbau1500 ).
|
|
|
|
I only have a dbau1000, so all testing is limited
|
|
to this board!
|
|
|
|
The board has two different flash banks, that can
|
|
be selected via dip switch. This makes it possible
|
|
to test new bootloaders without thrashing the YAMON
|
|
boot loader deliviered with board.
|
|
|
|
Ethernet only supported for mac0.
|
|
|
|
Pcmcia only supported for slot 0, only 3.3V.
|
|
|
|
Pcmcia IDE tested with Sandisk Compact Flash and
|
|
IBM microdrive.

If you partition a disk on another system (e.g. laptop),
|
|
all bytes will be swapped on 16bit level when using
|
|
PCMCIA!!!!
|
|
|
|
This is probably due to an error in Au1000 chip.
|
|
|
|
Solution:
|
|
|
|
a) Boot via network and partition disk directly from
|
|
dbau1x00. The endian will then be correct.
|
|
|
|
b) Partition disk on "laptop" and fill it with all files
|
|
you need. Then write a simple program that endian swaps
|
|
whole disk,
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
Original "laptop" byte order:
|
|
B0 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9...
|
|
|
|
Dbau1000 byte order will then be:
|
|
B1 B0 B3 B2 B5 B4 B7 B6 B9 B8...
