CI20 status update


June 11, 2015 posted by Michael Lorenz

I didn't really have much time to work on more hardware support on CI20 but it's been a while since the last post so here's what I've got:
  • drivers for on-chip ehci and ohci have been added. Ohci works fine, ehci for some reason detects all high speed devices as full speed and hands them over to ohci. No idea why.
  • I2C ports work now, including the onboard RTC. You have to hook up your own battery though.
  • we're no longer limited to 256MB, all RAM is usable now.
  • onboard ethernet is supported by the dme driver.
There's also an unfinished driver for the SD/MMC ports.
The RTC is a bit funny - according to the manual there's a Pericom RTC on iic4 addr 0x68 - not on my preproduction board. I've got something that looks like a PCF8563 at addr 0x51, and so do the production boards that I know of. Some pins on one of the expansion connectors seem to be for a battery but I haven't been able to confirm that yet. Either way, since the main connector is supposed to be Raspberry Pi compatible any RTC module for the RPi should Just Work(tm), with the appropriate line added to the kernel config.
Some more work has been done under the hood, like some preparations for SMP support.

Here's the obligatory boot transcript, complete with incomplete drivers and debug spam:

and how to put together a system? tell us how you did, please. more)

I still didn't get around to finishing the jzmmc driver so booting from local media makes little sense. Here's what you need to get a usable system: - build a mips32r2 little endian userland. A 32bit evbmips-el one should do. - prepare some sort of USB storage, partitioning scheme is identical to x86 so fdisk and disklabel will do. Install userland, MAKEDEV etc. - setup dhcp and tftp to feed the ci20 an appropriate uImage ( should show up as netbsd.ub when building the kernel ) - dhcp, bootm, g 80020000 - cross fingers

Hi Michael, Good work on the porting process - you've got lots done. I noticed your point about EHCI falling back to OHCI. This was a problem in the 3.18 linux kernel. I fixed it by setting up some registers and enabling a bit in an undocumented register... Here's the PR for it: https://github.com/MIPS/CI20_linux/pull/29 Hope this helps. :-)

Hi, We recently had some patches fixing ehci on linux. These might help. https://github.com/MIPS/CI20_linux/pull/29 Regards, ZubairLK

Thanks for the link, I'll look at it in a minute. I didn't see any special handling in the 'official' ci20 linux repository. Funny thing, the Debian that shipped with mine couldn't reliably talk to anything on the OTG port, while the EHCI/OHCI worked, on NetBSD the OTG port Just Works(tm) while the EHCI has problems.
