RedBoot supports both serial ports, which are available via
the stacked serial connectors on the mother board.
The topmost port is the default and is considered to be port 0 by RedBoot.
The bottommost port is serial port 1.
The default serial port settings are 38400,8,N,1.
FLASH management is also supported, but only for the FLASH device in IC7.
This arrangement allows for IC8 to retain either the original Fujitsu board
firmware, or some application specific contents.
The following RedBoot configurations are supported:
Configuration
Mode
Description
File
ROMRAM
[ROMRAM]
RedBoot running from RAM, but contained in the
board's flash boot sector.
redboot_ROMRAM.ecm
RAM
[RAM]
RedBoot running from RAM with RedBoot in the
flash boot sector.
RedBoot can be installed by directly programming the FLASH device in IC7
or by using the Fujitsu provided software to download and install a
version into the FLASH device. Complete instructions are provided
separately.
The memory map of this platform is fixed by the hardware (cannot
be changed by software). The only attributes which can be modified are
control over cacheability, as noted below.
Address Cache? Resource
00000000-03EFFFFF Yes SDRAM (via plugin DIMM)
03F00000-03FFFFFF No SDRAM (used for PCI window)
10000000-1FFFFFFF No MB86943 PCI bridge
20000000-201FFFFF No SRAM
21000000-23FFFFFF No Motherboard resources
24000000-25FFFFFF No PCI I/O space
26000000-2FFFFFFF No PCI Memory space
30000000-FDFFFFFF ?? Unused
FE000000-FEFFFFFF No I/O devices
FF000000-FF1FFFFF No IC7 - RedBoot FLASH
FF200000-FF3FFFFF No IC8 - unused FLASH
FF400000-FFFFFFFF No Misc other I/O
NOTE: The only configuration currently suppored requires a 64MB SDRAM
DIMM to be present on the CPU card. No other memory configuration
is supported at this time.
