Freescale MPC837xEMDS Board ----------------------------------------- 1. Board Switches and Jumpers 1.0 There are four Dual-In-Line Packages(DIP) Switches on MPC837xEMDS board For some reason, the HW designers describe the switch settings in terms of 0 and 1, and then map that to physical switches where the label "On" refers to logic 0 and "Off" is logic 1. Switch bits are numbered 1 through, like, 4 6 8 or 10, but the bits may contribute to signals that are numbered based at 0, and some of those signals may be high-bit-number-0 too. Heed well the names and labels and do not get confused. "Off" == 1 "On" == 0 SW4[8] is the bit labeled 8 on Switch 4. SW2[1:6] refers to bits labeled 1 through 6 in order on switch 2. SW2[1:8]= 0000_0001 refers to bits labeled 1 through 7 is set as "On" and bits labeled 8 is set as "Off". 1.1 For the MPC837xEMDS Processor Board First, make sure the board default setting is consistent with the document shipped with your board. Then apply the following setting: SW3[1-8]= 0011_0000 (BOOTSEQ, ROMLOC setting) SW4[1-8]= 0000_0110 (core PLL setting) SW5[1-8]= 1001_1000 (system PLL, boot up from low end of flash) SW6[1-8]= 0000_1000 (HRCW is read from NOR FLASH) SW7[1-8]= 0110_1101 (TSEC1/2 interface setting - RGMII) J3 2-3, TSEC1 LVDD1 with 2.5V J6 2-3, TSEC2 LVDD2 with 2.5V J9 2-3, CLKIN from osc on board J10 removed, CS0 connect to NOR flash; when mounted, CS0 connect to NAND J11 removed, Hardware Reset Configuration Word load from FLASH(NOR or NAND) mounted, HRCW load from BCSR. on board Oscillator: 66M 2. Memory Map 2.1. The memory map should look pretty much like this: 0x0000_0000 0x7fff_ffff DDR 2G 0x8000_0000 0x8fff_ffff PCI MEM prefetch 256M 0x9000_0000 0x9fff_ffff PCI MEM non-prefetch 256M 0xc000_0000 0xdfff_ffff Empty 512M 0xe000_0000 0xe00f_ffff Int Mem Reg Space 1M 0xe010_0000 0xe02f_ffff Empty 2M 0xe030_0000 0xe03f_ffff PCI IO 1M 0xe040_0000 0xe05f_ffff Empty 2M 0xe060_0000 0xe060_7fff NAND Flash 32K 0xf400_0000 0xf7ff_ffff Empty 64M 0xf800_0000 0xf800_7fff BCSR on CS1 32K 0xfe00_0000 0xffff_ffff NOR Flash on CS0 32M 3.
