5 This is a port to the Motorola "SandPoint" evaluation system. The
6 SandPoint is the successor to the "Yellowknife" system. The system
7 can be fitted with different PMCs (Processor Mezzanine Cards). This
8 port is specifically for the rev X2 motherboard system with the PPC
9 8240 PMC rev X4 installed. It also works with the Altimus X2 PMC
10 (MPC7400 with MPC107).
12 All references (cf) listed here are for the MPC8240 Integrated Processor

19 SandPoint Hardware Configuration
21 This port was developed on a Sandpoint X2 motherboard with a Unity X4 PMC.
23 This port assumes that the jumpers are set as follows:
24 S3/S4 - Mode 1: PMC w/o IDE (switches opposite, one nearest PCI
25 slot toward near edge)
26 S5 - Interrupt to PMC normal (switch toward near edge)
27 S6 - Local I/O shared with slot 2 (switch toward near edge)
29 Mode 0 (PMC w/ IDE) does not appear to work right with ISA interrupts. The
30 interrupts from the Winbond chip do not appear at the PMC.
32 On the PPMC, we assume a 100MHz clock.
33 on PPMC: (C == closed, or "on")
35 C ROM on PCI bus (DINK32 on mainboard)
38 C Wait for initialization (peripheral mode)
39 - Program mode: Normal mode
42 - COP only resets local CPU/MPC107
44 -C--C PCI 33, Mem 66, PPC 266
45 -- 0.5 - 0.9 ns PCI hold time
46 C 25 ohm PCI drive strength
51 For this port, we choose the "Address Map B" (CHRP-compatible) for the
52 system (see SW2, #2, above):
55 0000 0000 0009 FFFF System Memory
56 000A 0000 000F FFFF Compatibility Hole (programmable to go to PCI space
57 or system memory--programmed for system memory--cf 5.8)
58 0010 0000 3FFF FFFF System memory
59 4000 0000 7FFF FFFF Reserved (programmed to give a memory select
60 error if accessed--cf 5.7.2)
61 8000 0000 FCFF FFFF PCI memory space
62 FD00 0000 FDFF FFFF PCI/ISA memory space (see 5.8, CPU_FD_ALIAS_EN)
63 FE00 0000 FE7F FFFF PCI/ISA I/O space (Forwarded to PCI address space
64 with high byte zeroed, but FE01 0000 and up are
66 FE80 0000 FEBF FFFF PCI I/O space (Forwarded to PCI I/O space with high
68 FEC0 0000 FEDF FFFF PCI configuration address register (Each word in this
69 range is aliased to the PCI CONFIG_ADDR register)
70 FEE0 0000 FEEF FFFF PCI configuration data register (Each word in this
71 range is aliased to the PCI CONFIG_DATA register)
72 FEF0 0000 FEFF FFFF PCI interrupt acknowledge
73 FF00 0000 FF7F FFFF 32- or 64-bit Flash/ROM space (Can hit either local
74 memory or PCI bus -- cf. 5.6)
75 FF80 0000 FFFF FFFF 8-, 32- or 64-bit Flash/ROM space (Can hit either
76 local memory or PCI bus -- cf. 5.6)
78 This is a host-mode port, so the inbound and output translation windows
81 The Embedded Utilities Memory Block (EUMB) is set to be 1M below the end
82 of the PCI memory space: FC00 0000, so EUMBBAR is FC00 0000, giving us
84 Message unit (I2O) base : FC00 0000 (cf. 10.2, 10.2.3, 10.3)
85 DMA base : FC00 1000 (cf. 9.2)
86 ATU base : FC00 2000 (cf. 4.3.3)
87 I2C base : FC00 3000 (cf. 11.3)
88 EPIC base : FC04 0000 (cf. 12.2)
94 The SandPoint ships with the Motorola DINK32 ROM. This is a rather
95 basic ROM with only serial-download (S-Record) capability for
96 loading the kernel. Basically, the kernel is loaded to a specified
97 address and you jump to it. The ROM takes care of initializing
98 the MICRs and MCCRs. There is really no boot information to pass.
100 It would be nice to have a much more complete ROM interface, allowing
101 settings for, say, bootp/tftp boot, automatic boot, and persistent
102 settings (for console rate, auto boot, bootp, etc), and that might
103 be provided at some point, but that's not available as of this
106 So, the kernel is hard-coded to boot w/ 32MB for now.
110 Interrupt Configuration
112 The 8240 has the internal EPIC. For the SandPoint, the EPIC is programmed
113 in mixed-mode (GCR) with direct interrupts (EICR). With this configuration,
114 there are 13 available interrupts:
117 IRQ0 - PCI Slot #0 INTA#
118 IRQ1 - PCI Slot #1 INTA# / shared with WinBond I/O
119 IRQ2 - PCI Slot #2 INTA#
120 IRQ3 - PCI Slot #3 INTA#
121 IRQ4 - On-PPMC 16552 interrupt (Unity X2)
122 IRQ4 - pulled down w/ resistor (Unity X4)
123 4 internal interrupts
129 The SandPoint can run in one of 4 interrupt modes:
130 0 - PMC host with IDE (3.3v PCI slots are unavailable)
131 1 - PMC host w/o IDE (all PCI slots are available)
132 2 - PMC agent, Winbond providing arbitration & interrupt to INTA# on PMC
133 3 - Yellowknife mode--just like #2, except drives INTA# on 4th PCI slot
135 We choose to run in mode 1 as Motorola recommends modes 0 or 1 for
136 all new development. Unfortunately, mode 0 does not appear to
137 work--"ISA" interrupts are lost. In this mode, with interrupts
138 routed to PCI slot 3, we have to check for both a Winbond (ISA)
139 interrupt, and a PCI slot interrupt. So basically, we have a
140 two-level interrupt configuration for Winbond interrupts. The ISA
141 bus attachment registers an interrupt for PCI slot 3 with its own
142 interrupt handler. Drivers for ISA devices on the Winbond will
143 register interrupts with the ISA interrupt handler. The sticky
144 part of this is how to deal with one global interrupt priority.
148 SandPoint III "SP3" Interrupt Configuration
150 With a help of additional logic circuit SP3 organizes external
151 interrupt sources as EPIC serial mode interrupts.
153 IRQ0 - WinBond South bridge i8259 PIC, polarity inverted
155 IRQ2 - PCI Slot #1, INTA#
156 IRQ3 - PCI Slot #2, INTA#
157 IRQ4 - PCI Slot #3, INTA#
158 IRQ5 - PCI Slot #4, INTA#
163 IRQ10 thru 15 - reserved
164 SP3 provides switch selections to emulate SP1/2 compatible EPIC
165 direct mode interrupt assignments.
