Freescale MPC7448hpc2 (Taiga) board
===================================

Created 08/11/2006 Roy Zang
--------------------------
MPC7448hpc2 (Taiga) board is a high-performance PowerPC server reference
design, which is optimized for high speed throughput between the processor and
the memory, disk drive and Ethernet port subsystems.

MPC7448hpc2(Taiga) is designed to the micro-ATX chassis, allowing it to be
used in 1U or 2U rack-mount chassis¡¯, as well as in standard ATX/Micro-ATX
chassis.

Building U-Boot
------------------
The mpc7448hpc2 code base is known to compile using:
Binutils 2.15, Gcc 3.4.3, Glibc 2.3.3

$ make mpc7448hpc2_config
Configuring for mpc7448hpc2 board...

$ make

Memory Map
----------

The memory map is setup for Linux to operate properly.

The mapping is:

Range Start Range End Definition Size

0x0000_0000 0x7fff_ffff DDR 2G
0xe000_0000 0xe7ff_ffff PCI Memory 128M
0xfa00_0000 0xfaff_ffff PCI IO 16M
0xfb00_0000 0xfbff_ffff PCI Config 16M
0xfc00_0000 0xfc0f_ffff NVRAM/CADMUS 1M
0xfe00_0000 0xfeff_ffff PromJet 16M
0xff00_0000 0xff80_0000 FLASH (boot flash) 8M
0xff80_0000 0xffff_ffff FLASH (second half flash) 8M

Using Flash
-----------

The MPC7448hpc2 board has two "banks" of flash, each 8MB in size
(2^23 = 0x00800000).

Note: the "bank" here refers to half of the flash. In fact, there is only one
bank of flash, which is divided into low and high half. Each is controlled by
the most significant bit of the address bus. The so called "bank" is only for
convenience.

There is a switch which allows the "bank" to be selected. The switch
settings for updating flash are given below.

The u-boot commands for copying the boot-bank into the secondary bank are
as follows:

erase ff800000 ff880000
cp.b ff000000 ff800000 80000

U-boot commands for downloading an image via tftp and flashing
it into the secondary bank:

tftp 10000 <u-boot.bin.image>
erase ff000000 ff080000
cp.b 10000 ff000000 80000

After copying the image into the second bank of flash, be sure to toggle
SW3[4] on board before resetting the board in order to set the
secondary bank as the boot-bank.

Board Switches
----------------------

Most switches on the board should not be changed. The most frequent
user-settable switches on the board are used to configure
the flash banks and determining the PCI frequency.
