DSM-G600: Revision 39
Collection of some hints about Debian installation on my D-Link DSM-G600:
{toc: } ^ Resources * wiki at http://dsmg600.info/ * forum at http://forum.dsmg600.info/ ^ firmware (kernel+busybox) It will fix various problems, including, but not limited to, problems with web interface in firefox. http://download.dsmg600.info/people/sala/fwimage-04-sala-20070128 I tried to build firmware from source, but had various problems with building gcc. Thet are mostly related to gdb, but after a few random patches it passed compilation (but is broken, because I just commented offending lines). ^^ usbfs I also want usbfs which generate compilation errors because of missing files in `include/linux/usbdevice_fs.h` Based on "instructions on wiki"<http://dsmg600.info/howto:chroot_debian> and "post on forum"<http://forum.dsmg600.info/t17-Debian-howto.html> .pre cd /mnt/HD_a2 export DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR=`pwd`/usr/lib/debootstrap export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/HD_a2/bin:/mnt/HD_a2/sbin ./usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch powerpc etch /mnt/HD_a2/debian http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/HD_a2/debian/etc/resolv.conf # prepare chroot jail mount -t proc proc /mnt/HD_a2/debian/proc cd /mnt/HD_a2/ ./chroot /mnt/HD_a2/debian /bin/bash # install additional packages apt-get update apt-get install locales dpkg-reconfigure locales passwd root apt-get install dropbear hotplug .pre ^ USB printer Kernel module for USB printers for 2.4.21-pre4 kernel: {file: printer.o} After installation of `cupsys` and `foomatic` all went smoothly, USB printer ("Samsung ML-2510"<http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Samsung-ML-2510>) was found and configured automatically. There are a few more details in "this forum thread"<http://forum.dsmg600.info/t105-Printing.html>. ^ Kernel 2.4 As a try to understand this ppc board, I tried to port changes from MontaVista (D-Link used that tree) to current upstream 2.4 kernel and got to the point where SCSI controller times out when reading partition table. This means that board does init, it has serial port which works and has some idea about PCI space (which seems somewhat fishy if you ask me). {file: linux-2.4.34.4-dsmg600.diff.gz} Few more details are available in "this forum post"<http://forum.dsmg600.info/p3067-Today-182143.html#p3067>. ^ Kernel 2.6 I have a creazy idea: this device *should* run 2.6! So, here is my work in progress... According to "patches for kurobox"<http://genbako.vodapone.com/> which is quite similar to our hardware, there isn't any changes in current upstream version execept for missing drivers. For DSM G600 that boils town to "IP1000"<http://www.icplus.com.tw/driver-pp-IP1000A.html> network driver, which still isn't in mainland, but seems to be referenced on LKLM as possible inclusion. * patch against upstream 2.6.21.1 {file: linux-2.6.21.1-dsmg600.diff.gz} (adds IP1000A driver for LAN, wifi missing) Expirince with 2.4 kernel shows that I have to do more porting to make 2.6 port usable. As a start, code for board initialization is specific for DSM-G600 as well as serial port driver. When we have those two things working we can see if `loader.o` could boot our kernel. I think that shouldn't be problem, because `loader.o` origin shows that it's possible to boot 2.6 kernel from 2.4 kernel using `loader.o` module. ^^ New round based on powerpc kernels After review of current upstream kernel (2.6.22) and state of "powerpc kernel.org repository"<http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/galak/powerpc.git;a=summary> I decided to base my efforts on this branch. For now here are few useful links: * dtc compiler: git://www.jdl.com/software/dtc.git * "Kurobox support in stock 2.6 kernels"<http://www.kurobox.com/mwiki/index.php/Kurobox_support_in_stock_2.6_kernels> ^^ Compilation notes Compile kernel and convert it to binary format for "loader.o"<http://download.dsmg600.info/people/sala/loader.o>: .pre . env.sh make powerpc-linux-objcopy -O binary vmlinux scp vmlinux disk:/tmp/ .pre Then try out your kernel on DSM: .pre cd /mnt/HD_a2 && sync && insmod /mnt/HD_a2/loader.o kernel=/mnt/HD_a2/debian/tmp/vmlinux .pre Please note that *you must use full path* to kernel binary. Also note that all paths are customized for my particular device (to help with copy/paste :-) ^ Emulation It's useful to have development environment for DSM on another machine, so I tried to use "QEMU"<http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/> to do so. * patch which adds support for "platforms based on MPC82xx"<http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/viewtopic.php?t=1528> * "Installing Debian Sarge for the PowerPC under the QEMU"<http://overselfresearch.com/kb/qemu.html> which I updated to etch to be in sync with DSM ^ Board specification Here is information that I collected while working on 2.4 port in hope that it will assist me in porting 2.6 kernel ^^ Memory map Part of information extracted from u-boot loader, part from kernel source .pre from to size 00000000 02000000 02000000 SDRAM 32Mb 80000000 f0000000 70000000 pci mem space? fc000000 fcc00000 00c00000 EUMB (PCI I/O space) fcc00000 fcf00000 00300000 pci cfg regs fcf00000 fd000000 00100000 pci iack ffc00000 ffffffff 00400000 Flash 4Mb .pre Important addresses: .pre 10000000 CFG_MAX_RAM_SIZE, CFG_BANK0_END (u-boot) 40000000 CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR (u-boot) c0000000 start of kernel 2.4.21-pre4 VM 80000000 --- PCI memory space --- bfffd000 PCI 1033:0035 Non-prefetchable memory BFFFE000 PCI 1814:0201 Non-prefetchable memory C3029F00 PCI 1033:00e0 00:0e.2 irq 2 ciehci_hcd C3032000 PCI 1033:0035 00:0e.0 irq 1 usb-ohci C3034000 PCI 1033:0035 00:0e.1 irq -1 usb-ohci disabled C30AB000 PCI 1814:0201 irq 0 wirel, /sys/cra0 F0000000 --- PCI memory space --- FC000000 --- EUMB --- FC040000 OpenPIC_Addr (mpc1) FC004500 ttyS0 FC004600 ttyS1 FD000000 --- EUMB --- FF000000 ROM_CS1_START (on soc?), FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM (u-boot) FF800000 ROM_CS0_START FFC00000 FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM (u-boot) FFC20000 ramdisk load address FFF00000 TEXT_BASE (u-boot) FFF00100 CFG_RESET_ADDRESS FFF10000 boot image load address .pre Important constants: .pre CFG_NS16550_CLK 100000000 CONFIG_SYS_CLK_FREQ 100000000 .pre ^^ MTD .pre 0x00000000-0x00010000 : "Linux mtd1" 0x00010000-0x00020000 : "Linux mtd2" 0x00020000-0x00300000 : "Linux Ramdisk" 0x00300000-0x00310000 : "U-BOOT BOOT LOADER" 0x00310000-0x00400000 : "Linux Kernel" .pre ^^ Kernel configuration options From old 2.4 kernel, just something to keep eye on while configuring 2.6 kernels... * CONFIG_6xx * CONFIG_SANDPOINT * CONFIG_PPC_ISATIMER * CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS * CONFIG_MTD_CHAR * CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK * CONFIG_MTD_CFI * CONFIG_MTD_GEN_PROBE * CONFIG_MTD_CFI_AMDSTD ^^ IRQ .pre sandpoint_map_irq(struct pci_dev *dev, unsigned char idsel, unsigned char pin) { static char pci_irq_table[][4] = /* * PCI IDSEL/INTPIN->INTLINE * A B C D */ { { 0, 0, 0, 0 }, /* IDSEL 13 - mini-PCI */ { 1, -1, 2, 0 }, /* IDSEL 14 - NEC USB2.0 */ { 3, 0, 0, 0 }, /* IDSEL 15 - ADM983 */ { 4, 0, 0, 0 } }; const long min_idsel = 13, max_idsel = 16, irqs_per_slot = 4; return PCI_IRQ_TABLE_LOOKUP; } .pre .pre static u_char sandpoint_openpic_initsenses[] __initdata = { (IRQ_SENSE_LEVEL | IRQ_POLARITY_NEGATIVE), /* 17, EPIC IRQ 1 - PCI1 - flash*/ (IRQ_SENSE_LEVEL | IRQ_POLARITY_NEGATIVE), /* 18, EPIC IRQ 2 - LAN*/ (IRQ_SENSE_LEVEL | IRQ_POLARITY_NEGATIVE), /* 19, EPIC IRQ 3 - Not used*/ (IRQ_SENSE_LEVEL | IRQ_POLARITY_NEGATIVE), /* 20, EPIC IRQ 4 - Not used*/ 1 } .pre .pre sandpoint_init_IRQ(void) /* Map EPIC IRQs 0-3 */ openpic_set_sources(0, 5, OpenPIC_Addr + 0x10200); /* Skip reserved space and map i2c and DMA Ch[01] */ openpic_set_sources(113, 3, OpenPIC_Addr + 0x11020); /* Skip reserved space and map Message Unit Interrupt (I2O) */ openpic_set_sources(118, 1, OpenPIC_Addr + 0x110C0); //REX: UART openpic_set_sources(121, 1, OpenPIC_Addr + 0x11120); //ttyS0 openpic_set_sources(122, 1, OpenPIC_Addr + 0x11140); //ttyS1 jackl .pre ^^ mpc10x .pre mpc10x_bridge_init(hose, MPC10X_MEM_MAP_B, MPC10X_MEM_MAP_B, MPC10X_MAPB_EUMB_BASE) .pre should be changed to: .pre mpc10x_bridge_init(hose, MPC10X_MEM_MAP_B, MPC10X_MEM_MAP_B, 0xfc000000) == 0) .pre ^^ IO block consistent with following: .pre - io_block_mapping(0xfe000000, 0xfe000000, 0x02000000, _PAGE_IO); + io_block_mapping(0xfc000000, 0xfc000000, 0x04000000, _PAGE_IO); .pre ^^ Serial .pre #define UART0_INT 121 #define UART1_INT 122 #define SANDPOINT_SERIAL_0 0xFC004500 #define SANDPOINT_SERIAL_1 0xFC004600 .pre ^^ CPU .pre #define CPU_200 1 #define BASE_BAUD (100000000/16) .pre |
