[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/5] nios2: add nios2-generic board

Wed Mar 31 02:50:46 CEST 2010


This is a generic approach to port u-boot for nios2 boards.
You may find the usage of this approach on the nioswiki,
http://nioswiki.com/DasUBoot

In order to better support MMU and NOMMU targets, we will use
virtual addressing in the config file. All references to devices
except for the main memory (sdram), should be mapped to uncached
(bypass), IO region. While the main memory should use cached,
kernel region.

In stead of editing the hex number of base address, we will use
the resource header file generated with Altera SOPC tools.

For example the SMC device def will become,
#define CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE	((LAN91C111_BASE + \
  LAN91C111_LAN91C111_REGISTERS_OFFSET) \
 | IO_REGION_BASE) /* Base addr	*/
where the LAN91C111_xxx will be defined in the SOPC generated
header file.

Then when you reassign the base address or turn on/off the MMU,
you will only need to regenerate the resource header file.
