2007-04-27[AVR32] Get rid of board_setup_fbmem()Haavard Skinnemoen
Since the core setup code takes care of both allocation and reservation of framebuffer memory, there's no need for this board- specific hook anymore. Replace it with two global variables, fbmem_start and fbmem_size, which can be used directly. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>
2007-04-27[AVR32] Reserve framebuffer memory in early_parse_fbmem()Haavard Skinnemoen
With the current strategy of using the bootmem allocator to allocate or reserve framebuffer memory, there's a slight chance that the requested area has been taken by the boot allocator bitmap before we get around to reserving it. By inserting the framebuffer region as a reserved region as early as possible, we improve our chances for success and we make the region visible as a reserved region in dmesg and /proc/iomem without any extra work.

2007-04-27[AVR32] Simplify early handling of memory regionsHaavard Skinnemoen
Use struct resource to specify both physical memory regions and reserved regions and push everything into the same framework, including kernel code/data and initrd memory. This allows us to get rid of many special cases in the bootmem initialization and will also make it easier to implement more robust handling of framebuffer memory later.

2007-02-09[AVR32] Use ARRAY_SIZE macro when appropriateAhmed S. Darwish
A patch to use ARRAY_SIZE macro already defined in linux/kernel.h Signed-off-by: Ahmed S. Darwish <darwish.07@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>
2006-12-08[AVR32] Move ethernet tag parsing to board-specific codeHaavard Skinnemoen
By moving the ethernet tag parsing to the board-specific code we avoid the issue of figuring out which device we're supposed to attach the information to. The board specific code knows this because it's where the actual devices are instantiated. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>
2006-10-04[PATCH] AVR32: Allow renumbering of serial devicesHaavard Skinnemoen
Allow the board to remap actual USART peripheral devices to serial devices by calling at32_map_usart(hw_id, serial_line). This ensures that even though ATSTK1002 uses USART1 as the first serial port, it will still have a ttyS0 device. This also adds a board-specific early setup hook and moves the at32_setup_serial_console() call there from the platform code.

2006-09-26[PATCH] avr32 architectureHaavard Skinnemoen
This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000 CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board. AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power consumption and high code density. The AVR32 architecture is not binary compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures. The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture. It features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full Memory Management Unit. It also comes with a large set of integrated peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from Atmel. Full data sheet is available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918 including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for booting from SD card. Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for avr32-linux. This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
