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)

	SW2=100100	550	733	917	1100	5.5x
	SW2=110100	600	800	1000	1200	6x
	SW2=010100	650	866	1083	1300	6.5x
	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

This table shows only a subset of available frequency options; see the CPU
hardware specifications for more information.
