The work here entails adding support for the e5500 + core itself, in addition to support for the SoC + peripherals.</p> + + <p>Currently most code is checked in to enable basic support: + dTSEC (ethernet), core support (e500mc, e5500). Additionally, + as part of this, rman, the kernel resource manager, was + enhanced to use uintmax_t for resources. This allows devices + to be physically above the 4GB boundary on 32-bit systems. + With a statically compiled device tree, it boots to multiuser + mode, with nfsroot, and can be used as normal (serial and ssh + logins once configured).</p> + </body> + + <sponsor> + Alex Perez (Inertial Computing) + </sponsor> + + <help> + <task> + <p>eSDHC driver. Work has been started on this, hijacking the + imx_sdhc.c from Ian Lepore, but there are still bugs: + missing DMA from the iMX driver, and odd timeouts after the + system starts up.</p> + </task> + + <task> + <p>SATA support. There is a WIP driver for the SATA + controller, but it's currently very slow, about 11MB/s on a + SATA 2 link. It currently relies on a 10ms delay on every + SATA transaction, in order for it to be even somewhat + stable. Without this delay, the disk scan never works and I + haven't yet figured out why.</p> + </task> + + <task> + <p>Local console (VGA) support. It currently boots with a + serial console. vgapci0 is seen if there's a PCIe graphics + card, but vt(4) doesn't attach to it yet.</p> + </task> + + <task> + <p>64-bit support. The CPU on the board is a P5020, a 64-bit + e5500 dual-core SoC. Currently, booke support in FreeBSD is + 32-bit only.</p> + </task> + + <task> + <p>SMP. SMP support on Book-E hardware is currently + broken.</p> + </task> + + <task> + <p>U-boot support. Currently this uses a compiled-in device + tree, but it would be preferred for it to use the device + tree provided by u-boot, or at least the Linux-compatible + device tree.</p> + </task> + + <task> + <p>More work is needed on the DPAA front (Datapath + Acceleration Architecture) to improve the ethernet driver, + and utilize the SEC engine for crypto, <tt>random(4)</tt>, + and IPSec.</p> + </task> + </help> + </project> </report> _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-doc-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
