2012-01-11eXMeritus HWW-1U-1A: Add support for the AT24C128N I2C EEPROMKyle Moffett
This EEPROM is hardware-write-protected and used to persist key information such as the serial number and MAC addresses even if the primary environment sector in NOR FLASH is overwritten. During manufacturing, the environment is initialized from Linux and then the key parameters copied to the EEPROM via U-Boot: env export -c -s 0x2000 $loadaddr serial# macaddr mac1addr mac2addr eeprom write $loadaddr 0x0000 0x2000 The chip is then locked via hardware for delivery. When doing a field U-Boot upgrade, the environment is erased and reset to the defaults to avoid problems with "hwconfig" changes, etc. After loading the new U-Boot image, the hardware data is reloaded: i2c dev 0 eeprom read $loadaddr 0x0000 0x2000 env import -c $loadaddr 0x2000 saveenv The first three commands are saved in the "restore_eeprom" variable for user convenience. (EG: "run restore_eeprom && saveenv") Signed-off-by: Kyle Moffett <Kyle.D.Moffett@boeing.com> Cc: Andy Fleming <afleming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
2012-01-11eXMeritus HWW-1U-1A: Minor environment variable tweaksKyle Moffett
Most of the ethernet connections are internal links with specialized hardware and are not useful for "dhcp" or general-purpose networking; U-Boot should not be cycling through them. Force the primary external network interface in "ethprime" and disable the interface cycling with "ethrotate=no". Additionally, the environment variable "preboot" has its own config option and means something entirely different from what the HWW-1U-1A variable was intended for. Rename the board variable to "setbootargs" to avoid potential confusion. Finally, fix an incorrect address for the kernel in FLASH memory.

2011-12-09mpc85xx: Add board support for the eXMeritus HWW-1U-1A devicesKyle Moffett
The eXMeritus HWW-1U-1A unit is a DO-160-certified 13lb 1U chassis with 3 independent TEMPEST zones. Two independent P2020 computers may be found inside each zone. Complete hardware support is included. High-level hardware overview: * DO-160 certified for passenger aircraft (noncritical) * TEMPEST ceritified for RED/BLACK separation * 3 zones per chassis, 2 computers per zone (total of 6) * Dual-core 1.066GHz P2020 per computer * One 2GB DDR2 SO-RDIMM module per computer (upgradable to 4GB) * Removable 80GB or 160GB Intel X18-M SSD per computer * Front-accessible dual-port E1000E per computer * Front-accessible serial console per computer * Front-accessible USB port per computer * Internal Gigabit crossover within each TEMPEST zone * Internal unidirectional fiber links across TEMPEST zones * Battery-backed DS1339 I2C RTC on each CPU. Combined, each 13lb 1U chassis contains 12GB RAM, 12 cores @ 1.066GHz, 12 front-accessible Gigabit Ethernet ports and 960GB of solid-state storage with a total power consumption of ~200W. Additional notes: * SPD detection is only known to work with the DO-160-certified DIMMs * CPU reset is a little quirky due to hardware misfeature. Proper support for the hardware reset mechanism has been left for a later patch series to address.
