the serial port class when we set the devclass since it is now
no-longer a compile time constant. Eliminate the pci include, as it
isn't relevant or necessary.
Add a new option, SKYEYE_WORKAROUNDS, which as the name suggests adds
workarounds for things skyeye doesn't simulate. Specifically :
- Use USART0 instead of DBGU as the console, make it not use DMA, and manually provoke an interrupt when we're done in the transmit function.
- Skyeye maintains an internal counter for clock, but apparently there's
no way to access it, so hack the timecounter code to return a value which
is increased at every clock interrupts. This is gross, but I didn't find a
better way to implement timecounters without hacking Skyeye to get the
counter value.
- Force the write-back of PTEs once we're done writing them, even if they
are supposed to be write-through. I don't know why I have to do that.
is a ARM920T based CPU with a bunch of built-in peripherals. The
inital import supports the SPI bus, the TWI bus (although iicbus
integration is not complete), the uarts, the system timer and the
onboard ethernet. Support for the Kwikbyte KB9202
(http://www.kwikbyte.com) board is also included, although there's no
reason why the 9200 and the 9201 wouldn't also work. Primitive
support for running under the skyeye emulator is also provided
(although skyeye's support for the AT91RM9200 is a little weak).
The code has been structured so that other members of Atmel's arm family can
be supported in the future. The AT91SAM9260 is not presently supported
due to lack of hardware. The arm7tdmi families are also not supported
becasue they lack an MMU.
Many thanks to cognet@ for his help and assistance in bringing up this
board. He did much of the vm work and wrote parts of the uart and
system timer code as well as the bus space implementation.
The system boots to single user w/o problem, although the serial
console is a little slow and the ethernet driver is still in flux.
This work was sponsored by Timing Solutions, Corporation. I am
grateful to their support of the FreeBSD project in this manner.
