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.

SW1[1-5]: Processor core voltage

      12345		Core Voltage
      -----
  SW1=01111	   	   1.000V.
  SW1=01101	   	   1.100V.
  SW1=01011	   	   1.200V.
  SW1=01001	   	   1.300V only for MPC7447A.


SW2[1-6]: CPU core frequency

		  CPU Core Frequency (MHz)
			Bus Frequency

  SW2=001000	700	930	1167	1400	   7x
  SW2=000100	750	1000	1250	1500	   7.5x
  SW2=110000	800	1066	1333	1600	   8x
  SW2=011000	850	1333	1417	1700	   8.5x only for MPC7447A
  SW2=011110	900	1200	1500	1800	   9x
