jtag & uboot

beattie wrote:

Unless somebody can figure out how to enable the JTAG there is not going to be a new u-boot.

i was just wondering if you could explain why.

what does JTAG provide that the serial connector doesn't?

(i'm trying to get familiar with how the system works so i'll feel more comfortable looking into using a custom firmware with everyone)

Thanks,

Re: jtag & uboot

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JTAG

So lets put this like that: if you fail flashing or if you flash invalid/not correctly working u-boot then you will not have any serial output and also no operating system will be loaded until you correctly flash properly working u-boot using jtag.

Re: jtag & uboot

i went poking around online at the MPC8421 specs.

http://www.freescale.com/files/32bit/do … pdf?fpsp=1

on page 47, there's a COP pinout, 16 pins, which show access to a possible JTAG interface.

I looked at the screenshot on the wiki, and there seems to be a 16 pin connector labled J8, near the battery.

since i'm a software guy with very little hardware experience, i'm not brave enough, nor knowledgeable enough to see if this J8 is the COP pinout that exists for the MPC8241, so i wanted to ask you, if you had looked at J8 as a viable JTAG interface already?

Re: jtag & uboot

I tried adding a 16 pin header, but it appears that there are some missing components (capacitors and/or resistors)

Re: jtag & uboot

beattie,
I'm assuming that you did not have any luck with the following minimal config on the jtag port:

http://nas-central.org/index.php/Add_Jtag_Port
http://www.genbako.com/jtag/kuro-jtagcable.png

1 - TDO
3 - TDI
6 - Vcc (i have 3.3 vdc on my board with power on)
7 - TCK
9 - TMS
16 - GND

It appears, at least on my board, that those pins have components populated on their traces.

I have a jtag adapter coming (prolly wiggler/clone?) from ebay for $15 - even if this proves futile on dlink hardware, i've got a pile of bricked routers, etc that I need to dive into..


EDIT:
ok, nevermind - i see that you already have this diagram on your site.. you have probably pulled out your hair already trying to get some response out of this box....

Re: jtag & uboot

Yeah the problem is that the J-tag interface on the D-Link is not complete, it looks like it's missing a few components besides the connector.

Re: jtag & uboot

well, it looks like i may have suceeded in jtag access through some board modification

looks like dlink left out the AND gates between dlinks on board reset and the jtag/cop tRST
(see pg 46 of MPC8241 Integrated Processor Hardware Specifications, Rev. 9 PDF, figure 27 "COP Connector Diagram")

I think the sm5964a controller is hardwired to keep hRST and TRST high (And pull low for a reset/poweron). I removed the shunt (0 ohm) resistors at R28, added a pull up resistor of 10k at R166 and placed a jumper across the missing AND gate at Q7
(PLEASE DONT TRY THIS AT HOME YET AS I STILL HAVE TO DO SOME MORE TESTING TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY IS NECESSARY)

I also did some extra jumpering across the hRST gate (Q6)  -- but i dont think this is necessary

Re: jtag & uboot

Right now I only have:
removed R28 bridge (was connecting pin 11 of sm5964a to nTRST ?)
add 10k ohm resistor at R166
added jumper across Q7 gate (from lead connected to pin 4 of J8 jumpering across to lead of Q7 on same trace as pad of R165)

This seems to hold nTRST high, - now all I need connected on my JTAG adapter is:

1 - TDO
3 - TDI
6 - Vcc (3.3vdc)
7 - TCK
9 - TMS
16 - GND


This is working. I can do "readmem 0xfff00000 100 testrom.bin" then do "od -xa testrom.bin" and see U-Boot 0.2.0 header.

Unfortunately, it seems that flash writing is not yet supported with urjtag 0.7, possibly due to the Spansion flash chips not being identified. Some code/hacking needs to be done to adapt this (maybe?)

Any ideas folks?

Re: jtag & uboot

I was initially having trouble, so
placed parallel port on EPP (not ECP!) &
altered pinout mapping in urjtag-0.7/src/tap/cable/wiggler.c to match my Kuzito (wiggler-style) clone adapter

a few pieces of info that might be helpful:

seems there is a device file available for xjtag that might have useful info:
http://www.xjtag.com/examples/Memory/Fl … xM.xje.php

of course there is the datasheet (with some cfi info?):
http://www.spansion.com/products/S29GL032M.html

edit:
looks like we have S29GL032M90TAIR4
which means: R4 = x8/x16, VCC=3.0-3.6V, Bottom boot sector device, bottom two
address sectors protected when WP#/ACC=VIL

Re: jtag & uboot

Here is a diagram (attached) of how I have my unit modded. I'm not entirely sure if it's completely necessary.. Maybe after JTAG halts cpu, watchdog (sm5964a controller) pulls TRST and HRST low to reboot unit?

Either way, I can still "do_reboot" and with this mod, and power button appears to be working normally.

Anybody else care to try JTAG'ing without mod (and without trst pin)
Note: if the watchdog is the problem, try JTAG'ing directly after a fresh powerup, before kernel has a chance to boot up watchdog?

Any thoughts from some pro hackers?

Re: jtag & uboot

Ok,
I actually have a successful flashmem going now.
Turns out urjtag-0.7 (even latest SVN) doesnt work on this.
There is a patched version of openwince jtag tools from kurobox/linkstation variety.

http://www.kurobox.com/downloads/JTAG/jtagdir.tar (it's actually a .tar.gz file)

need to build include folder (for openwince), then build jtag
I think both use ./autogen.sh
I needed to apply the mpc8241.diff (patch /usr/local/share/jtag/motorola/mpc8241/1.2 mpc8241.diff)

then use the commands in "lsjtag" script (modify for your cable)

I also had to modify the wiggler.c for my special wiggler-clone pinout

I can succesfully "flashmem 0xfff00000 u-boot.bin" and verify works, and I can also do readmem for the first few bytes and see my new U-Boot 1.1.4 text header---

However, after a power cycle, u-boot not working sad (no console output ?)
So now it seems I have to figure out how to build a working u-boot...
I wish dpavlin could help here.. Seems he had a partially working ram build of u-boot going.

Re: jtag & uboot

Got it booting with dpavlins mods to the linkstation 2.1.0 patch to u-boot 1.1.4. I think I had inadvertantly swapped the console ports in Sandpoint8245.h

It's a start, but lots of work to be done!

Code:

U-Boot 1.1.4 LiSt 2.1.0 (Jan  8 2008 - 15:35:29)

CPU:   MPC8245 Revision 1.2 at 170.503 MHz: 16 kB I-Cache 16 kB D-Cache
Board: Sandpoint 8245 Unity ##Test not implemented yet##
DRAM:  32 MB
FLASH: *** failed ***
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

working on porting the dlink uboot 0.2.0 amd-flash.c changes over to 1.1.4 flash.c

I'm not really C hacker - so I will need some help here...

Re: jtag & uboot

another nice thing... I can now upload, flash, and test new u-boot images at 57600 bps through u-boot (1 minute as opposed to 20-30 mins)-- jtag is too slow. Of course, if we do something to mess up U-boot to where it wont boot, back to jtag'ing.

Code:

setenv baudrate 57600

loadb 0x100000

protect off 0xfff00000 0xfff1ffff

erase 0xfff00000 0xfff1ffff

cp.b 100000 0xfff00000 ${filesize}

protect on 0xfff00000 0xfff1ffff

after a manual reset, i have a new u-boot

When I get more time, I will try to make up some diffs of what I have so far against dpavlins u-boot git (http://git.rot13.org/)

Code:

Well I still need to run oyt and get that 10K resistor to try this out.

If I can get this running, my long term plan:

(Flash layout, mtd1 - 64K, mtd2 - 64K, ramdisk - 3M, U-Boot - 64K, Kernel - .9M)

To add more functionality to U-Boot we need more memory.  I don'[t think it is feasible to change the starting address, so we will have to take it from the Kernel that follows U-Boot.  I think that the kernel partition is already full so I'm thinking about rearranging everything. ( Kernel 1M, Ramdisk - 2M, U-Boot - .8M, mtd4 - 64K, mtd5 - 64K ).

Any thoughts?

Re: jtag & uboot

With this new U-Boot, will we be able to boot via tftp?

That would be my goal.  Unfortunately I've never had steady hands and this surface mount stuff is very small. I got some 10K surface mount resistors, but got the wrong size.  I tried to make them fit, but I'm just not steady enough.  I'll have to get the right size and hope I can get those to soldered.

Yeah,
Hmm. U-boot will probably only need 256k max space for itself (with network support and extras) - i have mine under 128k right now. It will probably only need a single sector (64k) for storing u-boot environment vars in flash.

Only issue I can see is that the first 64k of flash is divided into 8k sectors (broken up into smaller blocks perhaps for use like nvram style config data, etc?), and the remaining sectors of flash to the end are all 64k.

I also can't really see where U-boot is starting at 0xfff00000 instead of at flash base of 0xffc00000 - could this boot base be hardcoded in the SoC flash (0xff000000) or somewhere else?

Also Beattie, for the Surface mount resistor, i just pulled a larger one off of an old 3com network card that i had laying around. It was slightly larger than the pads, so I had to do a little bit of tricky soldering to get it to sit in the right place.

Other u-boot issues that will need work:

* pci memory map? pci init? (pci command doesnt work right now)
* maybe if pci init/mapping is worked out, this will allow boot from usb mass storage?
* porting ipg (ip1000a) linux 2.6 driver source to u-boot
* memtest doesnt seem to be doing anything right now

Re: jtag & uboot

Well,

I do have u-boot 1.3.1 working, somewhat. patch against u-boot 1.3.1 is attached; use at your own risk.
It compiles a working u-boot of about <128k. Writes/stores u-boot env/config data of 8k at sector 0xff004000
No net or usb/disk storage support yet (hopefully somebody else can work on this one), but lots of other great features.

Im having troubles getting a 2.6 kernel to get any serial console output after loading from uboot. Ive tried booting the original kernel, and it works just fine (at least up to kernel panic attempting to mount rootfs), so it has to be something to do with the new config/kernel. I'm reading something about dts? (which I'm totally unfamiliar) and wonder if it has anything to do with it.

Code:

I have tried bootargs of console=uart,mmio,0xfc004500,115200n8 as well as console=ttyS0,115200n8 with no luck. I'll get the kernel config posted up soon.

I wish there were 30 hours in a day!

edit: oh yes
I'm building uboot (and kernel stuff) with ELDK 4.1
"export CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_6xx-" and appropriate paths in my bashrc

and building kernel with ARCH=ppc (as opposed to powerpc?)
I did make sandpoint_defconfig, and then make menuconfig to mod the config there, but I'm seeing now that there are specific board options in sandpoint.h (like serial port irq/io addrs, etc)

looks like more fun ahead!!

Re: jtag & uboot

well alot of hacking left to do, but kernel is actually booting, but just taking like 1 minute before it will display any console output on serial

Code:
