PPC/PMC-8260/DS1
Loading Application Software
You can either load software from:
a) PMC module’s boot flash device by programming a ROM image of max 1.75
MByte. The ROM image is copied into the boot flash device via the primary
booter.
b) Carrier board via the PCI bus and primary booter
Requirements for Both Loading Methods
Both loading procedures require the following:
•
Host system with operating system
•
Host driver which enables communication between the PMC module and the
carrier board. The driver has to include programming routines at least for the
following:
– Controlling the boot process
– Monitoring the boot process
– Starting the primary booter
Necessary to enable communication between PMC module and host when
loading an image from PCI bus, programming a ROM image into boot
flash, performing read/write accesses to I/O devices (e.g. reading the boot
flash contents or POST results).
– Programming the boot image into boot flash (not necessary if you want to
load an image via PCI bus)
– Reading and writing to I/O devices
– Optional: Reading POST results
If you use the Tornado 2.0 BSP for the PPC/PMC-8260/DS1 such a driver is al-
ready implemented. For more information on the BSP, refer to the BSP documenta-
tion.
In the following sections we give you the information required to create such a
driver. However, we cannot give you information on how to implement the driver
into your operating system because the procedure varies depending on the used op-
erating system. At the end of this chapter, code examples are given to show how the
routines can be programmed.
