[U-Boot-Users] POST tests without OCM

[Craig Millen]

Yes I am using the 440EP.  I was referring to all the code in
cpu/ppc4xx/commproc.c, like this section:
 
#if defined(CONFIG_POST) || defined(CONFIG_LOGBUFFER)
void post_word_store (ulong a)
{
	volatile void *save_addr = (volatile void *)(CFG_OCM_DATA_ADDR +
CFG_POST_WORD_ADDR);
	*(volatile ulong *) save_addr = a;
}

ulong post_word_load (void)
{
	volatile void *save_addr = (volatile void *)(CFG_OCM_DATA_ADDR +
CFG_POST_WORD_ADDR);
	return *(volatile ulong *) save_addr;
}

There are a few more functions in there that refer to the OCM.
What/where is the unused GPT that you are talking about?


Thanks
Craig

We are thinking about moving this POST_WORD from OCM to an unused GPT
(General Purpose Timer) register. You *are* talking about the 440EP,
right? This should be possible here too.

Patches are as always welcome. :)

Best regards,
Stefan
