[U-Boot-Users] board porting question

[Xuezhang Dong]

I figure out this problem, it is due to the code in start.S set up
Align, so the data read from 16-bit-bus throught ldrb will revert in
big-endian case, and OMAP is little-endian, so they are OK.

 cpu_init_crit:
	/*
	 * flush v4 I/D caches
	 */
	mov	r0, #0
	mcr	p15, 0, r0, c7, c7, 0	/* flush v3/v4 cache */
	mcr	p15, 0, r0, c8, c7, 0	/* flush v4 TLB */

	/*
	 * disable MMU stuff and caches
	 */
	mrc	p15, 0, r0, c1, c0, 0
	bic	r0, r0, #0x00002300	/* clear bits 13, 9:8 (--V-
--RS) */
	bic	r0, r0, #0x00000087	/* clear bits 7, 2:0 (B--- -CAM)
*/
	orr	r0, r0, #0x00000002	/* set bit 2 (A) Align */
	orr	r0, r0, #0x00001000	/* set bit 12 (I) I-Cache */
	mcr	p15, 0, r0, c1, c0, 0

	/*
	 * Go setup Memory and board specific bits prior to relocation.
	 */
	mov	ip, lr		/* perserve link reg across call */
	bl	platformsetup	/* go setup pll,mux,memory */
	mov	lr, ip		/* restore link */
	mov	pc, lr		/* back to my caller */


I was debugging the ns16550 (serial driver), and find out that my serial
port is not logically as same as theirs. I was assume that UART is very
standard, is it true? Any suggestion of other serial drive I can try?

Regards.
Xuezhang.

Attach your BDI2000 and fire up GDB?

Best regards,
