U-Boot[edit]
Hardware Related Info[edit]
U-Boot currently does the bare minimum configuration needed to boot the kernel. The following table lists various resources enabled by the ROM code + U-Boot running on the host ARM (that is, Cortex A8).
Resource | Specifics | Notes |
---|---|---|
OCMC RAM | OCMC0 | 1st stage U-Boot runs out of OCMC0 |
Control module | NA | Needs to be enabled prior to enabling other modules. |
Clocks/PLL Setup | Modena (A8), L3, DDR, SATA, DSP, DSS, IVA, ISS, USB | |
UART | UARTs 0-5 | UART0 is available as console on base board. |
Timers | Timer1 | Used for timekeeping purpose |
RAM | Both the EMIFs | Non-interleaved configuration |
I2C | I2C0 | I2C2 also gets enabled since it shares the clock with I2C0 |
SPI | Module enabled. | |
EMACSW | Ethernet port (with internal switch) | Used for DHCP, TFTP load of kernel (and/or) filesystem images. |
NAND | Whole | Base EVM has 256MiB NAND |
MMC/SD | MMC/SD1 | Enabled as part of the boot process |
Linux Kernel[edit]
Module/Subsystem Usage[edit]
Following table covers various onchip modules/subsystems enabled and used in U-Boot and Kernel. It also lists module status on reset. Note that there may be a few modules which are enabled but not used currently but will be used in future.
The table uses following conventions for enabled status:
- BOOTCFG - Module is enabled depending upon boot mode
- YES - Module is enabled always and is critical for functioning (should never be turned off).
- CONFIG - Module will be enabled depending upon build time or run time configuration (e.g., SATA module is enabled if SATA is enabled in kernel build configuration, UART1 is enabled if 'ttyO1' is passed as console through kernel command line). Note that there may be many modules included in default build configuration and thus they will be enabled by default (e.g., EMACSW), though these can be disabled by disabling respective configuration in build.
- KEEP - Module already enabled and kept as is. Note that, except for Control Module, eFuse and EMIFs, in most of the other cases, this means that the corresponding module is not currently used and was enabled by the component which executed earlier. This is, module enabled status 'KEEP' in Kernel means it was enabled by U-Boot (or boot time) but kernel doesn't touch it.
- NO - Module is not used and is not enabled
Module/Subsystem | Enabled on Reset? | Enabled in U-Boot? | Enabled in Linux? |
---|---|---|---|
Control Module | YES | KEEP | KEEP |
eFuse | YES | YES | KEEP |
OCMC0 & 1 | BOOTCFG | YES | KEEP |

Hardware Resources Reserved for Kernel[edit]
Following table lists various resources owned and used exclusively by kernel (that is, Cortex A8). Care must be taken not to share these across other processors. Of course, there can be a kernel module/driver which monitors the sharing - this is particularly applicable for shared buffers in RAM - but the control should still remain with kernel.For modules having multiple instances, numbering is assumed to be from '0'.
Resource | Specifics | Notes |
---|---|---|
UART |
UART0 |
This is configurable through kernel command line ('bootargs') and is board dependent. On Base board, UART0 is used as console. |
Timers |
Timer1, Timer2 |
Timer1 - System Timer, Timer2 - Free Running |
RAM | 0x80000000 - 0x88000000 | The RAM size allocated for kernel is configurable through boot argument 'mem=' passed to kernel during boot. The start address (0x80000000) is fixed. Also note that it is possible to map RAM region beyond this range into kernel virtual memory space using kernel drivers/modules. Multiple 'mem=' arguments can be passed to have the system RAM spanned across holes in between. Please refer UserGuide for details |
I2C | I2C0 | Refer board reference document/schematics for more details. |
EMACSW | Has internal Ethernet switch. | |
NAND | Whole | Base EVM has 256MiB NAND. |
EDMA |
4 to 47, 52 to 54 |
Peripheral Only: 4 to 31, 52 to 54 Mem to Mem: 32 to 47 |
OCMC0 |
0x40300000 - 0x4031FFFF |
OCMC 0 will be used by ROM Code and U-boot. Once Linux kernel boots, OCMC0 is free and kernel can use it. If OCMC0 should not be used to load u-boot if loaded using CCS. |
PCIe Memory |
0x20000000 - 0x2FFFFFFF |
PCIe Window for outbound access |
PCIe I/O |
0x40000000 - 0x402FFFFF |
PCIe I/O window |
Kernel Virtual Memory Layout
[edit]
The default TI814X kernel configuration, with "mem=128M" passed as boot argument, uses following Virtual Memory laout:
Memory: 128MB = 128MB total Memory: 126016k/126016k available, 5056k reserved, 0K highmem Virtual kernel memory layout: vector : 0xffff0000 - 0xffff1000 ( 4 kB) fixmap : 0xfff00000 - 0xfffe0000 ( 896 kB) DMA : 0xffc00000 - 0xffe00000 ( 2 MB) vmalloc : 0xc8800000 - 0xf8000000 ( 760 MB) lowmem : 0xc0000000 - 0xc8000000 ( 128 MB) modules : 0xbf000000 - 0xc0000000 ( 16 MB) .init : 0xc0008000 - 0xc0028000 ( 128 kB) .text : 0xc0028000 - 0xc0374000 (3376 kB) .data : 0xc0374000 - 0xc03a20e0 ( 185 kB)
Please note following points:
- Default kernel build is set up with 3G/1G split for User/Kernel space.
- The vmalloc and lowmem are dependent on RAM available to kernel (as specified by 'mem' boot argument). As you provide more memory for kernel to map, the vmalloc space will be lowered.
- RAM size more that 768M will be truncated to maintain minimum vmalloc at 120MB
- It should be possible to allow larger memory into kernel space by changing User/Kernel split to 2/2 or 1/3. Please note that these are NOT TESTED and may lead to unpredictable behavior.
- Alternatively, "High Memory" support in kernel (CONFIG_HIGHMEM) can be enabled to accommodate larger physical memory. Note again that, this is an EXPERIMENTAL feature and may lead to stability and performance issues.
Boot-time measurement[edit]
For boot-time measurement the following setup was used
- 2-Stage SD boot (binaries picked from the release package)
- Kernel image of size 2.14MB (image picked from the release package)
- Sandisk 4GB SD card
The kernel image used had the following features enabled
- NAND driver
- Block devices
- SCSI devices
- SATA drivers
- Network device support
- I2C support
- SPI support
- GPIO support
- WDT support
- Sound card support
- HID devices
- USB support
- MMC/SD/SDIO support
- Loadable module support
- Filesystem support for ext2, ext3, JFFS2 and NFS
The following was the kernel command line passed
console=ttyO0,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 mem=128M init=/bin/sh rootwait
The total boot-time (ignoring the boot delays in the 2 stages of U-Boot) was ~11.82 secs
The break-up of the boot-time was:
- Booting the compressed kernel (calculated from the time U-Boot displays "## Booting...") : 5.6 secs
- Reading the 2.14MB uImage from SD card : 3.250 secs
- MMC init in the 2 stages of U-Boot : 2 secs

Performance and Benchmarks[edit]
Test Setup
[edit]
LFTB filesystem test suite is used for all tests. The test setup has a SATA HDD - Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 RPM 500GiB drive. The sustained data rates published by the vendor is ~120MBytes/Sec.
Note: Make sure the contents in the drive are backed-up, the below steps will completely erase the data in the drive.
- Delete all partitions in the HDD and create a 2GB partition in each HDD. This could be done using fdisk command. fdisk /dev/<device>. For example, fdisk /dev/sda.
- This should give a prompt from where we can delete/create partition.
- To delete partitions enter option 'd' and select the partitions you want to delete (if there is only one partition then it will be deleted). After this write the partition table to the HDD using the 'w' option.
- To create a new partition, refer to the steps given below
root@ti8168-evm:~# fdisk /dev/sda The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 60801. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): 1 First cylinder (1-60801, default 1): 1 Using default value 1 Last cylinder, +cylinders or +size{K,M,G} (1-60801, default 60801): +2G Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8) Syncing disks.
- Make sure the latest LFTB release package is available to run on the EVM.
- Using NFS as rootfs and placing the LFTB in the NFS server is recommended.
- Make sure you are in the following LFTB folder
cd filesystem_test_suite/scripts/common/
- Unmount the HDD if you have it already mounted.
umount /dev/sd<node> For example, 'umount /dev/sda1'
- Run the following command to run the tests. The file system type could be either ext2 or vfat
./filesystem_tests_scripts.sh -plat ti816x -type perf -device /dev/sda1 -fs_type <ext2|vfat>
NOTE: Test setup uses a DDR2 EVM
