8 # We need to set the FFFF:FB10 register to map the flash (not the boot ROM) 8 # On most targets we use the alternate nCS0 mapping at 0x03000000 to access
9 # to address 0. We need this mapping in order to be able to dump and program 9 # the full flash bank even though the boot ROM is mapped at 0, overlapping
10 # the entire flash, as for some reason the alternate nCS0 mapping at 0x03000000 10 # the first 8 KiB of flash. However, the Calypso chip (all versions we work
11 # does not work on Compal phones. (That alternate mapping works fine on 11 # with) has a little design bug in this part of the silicon: the alternate
12 # Openmoko and Pirelli phones, though. Perhaps the different Calypso chip 12 # nCS0 mapping at 0x03000000 works only when the debug visibility bit in the
13 # version is the culprit, or perhaps this alternate mapping works only if the 13 # API-RHEA control register (bit 6 in the FFFF:FB0E register) is set, and
14 # physical nIBOOT pin is low.) 14 # does not work otherwise. This bit is initially set as the Calypso comes
15 # out of reset, and on most platforms we gain loadtool access via the boot ROM,
16 # hence the problem does not occur - but on these Compal targets we gain
17 # loadtool access either through Compal's bootloader or via tfc139, and in
18 # both cases Compal's fw (either the full fw or the bootloader part) has
19 # already set the register in question to the runtime operational value of
20 # 0x2A (unchanged from TI's TCS211 reference fw), with the debug visibility
21 # bit cleared, hence the 0x03000000 flash mapping no longer works.
22 #
23 # We could write into the FFFF:FB0E register here, restore the Calypso power-up
24 # state and use the 0x03000000 mapping like on other platforms, but the problem
25 # of the mapping not working as expected was first encountered in 2014 when we
26 # started working on Compal targets, whereas the root cause described above was
27 # only discovered in 2019. For now we are keeping the original workaround from
28 # 2014: we set the FFFF:FB10 register to map the flash (not the boot ROM)
29 # to address 0, and use that "main" mapping instead of the alternate one.
