Explanation of -h targets for fc-loadtool and friends ===================================================== It is possible to run fc-loadtool without giving it any -h option at all - if run in this manner, the tool will still gain access to the target Calypso device via its boot ROM and allow some peeking and poking to be done, but it will run with some major limitations: * No PLL multiplier will be set up, thus the Calypso ARM7 core will run at 13 MHz rather than the preferred faster frequency of 39 MHz for Calypso C05 or 52 MHz for Calypso C035. * In the absence of a hardware parameter file specifying flash configuration, all high-level flash operations (all commands beginning with flash) will be disabled. One can still dump the flash manually using the low-level dump2bin command (as opposed to flash dump2bin), but no other flash manipulations are possible. * With most -h hardware parameter files the default exit mode is set to exit iota-off, but without a hardware parameter file it will be exit bare by default. fc-xram is not useful at all without -h: one cannot load anything into XRAM until Calypso MEMIF is set up properly for XRAM access, and this setup is done by the init scripts referenced from hardware parameter files. Available -h targets ==================== -h compal and -h c155 -h compal needs to be used for all of "lower" Compal subfamilies (everything other than Mot C155/156); -h c155 is self-explanatory. Very special loadtools configuration is needed for Compal targets, telling our tools to use a very different way of gaining entry through Compal's bootloader and configuring the special flash erase-program-boot hack. All following configurations are for more sane, meaning non-Compal targets: -h c05 and -h c035 These are the most generic configurations we have, indicating only the use of Calypso C05 or C035, respectively, but no other knowledge about target hardware. These minimal configs are not usable for flash manipulation or for fc-xram, but they may be useful for fc-iram or low-level (non-flash) fc-loadtool operations. -h c05i and -h c035i These two configurations are the next step up in target-specific knowledge from the more basic c05 and c035: the present c05i and c035i configs additionally indicate the use of a Iota ABB, telling our tools to perform a Iota poweroff when we are done. They are still not usable for flash manipulation or for fc-xram, but they are ideal for the simpler and more specialized fc-buzplay and fc-dspromdump tools. -h gen4 and -h gen8 These two configs are our most generic fc-loadtool targets: they are supersets of c035i (Calypso C035 and Iota ABB required), supporting 4 MiB or 8 MiB flash on Calypso nCS0, respectively. More precisely, our gen4 config supports *up to* 4 MiB of flash, whereas gen8 supports up to 8 MiB. In the vast majority of cases it is safe and thus easier to use gen8; the more conservative gen4 config is only needed when you DON'T want Calypso multifunction pin CS4/ADD22 to be switched from CS4 to ADD22, either because you know for certain that the flash chip is 4 MiB or less or because you found a super-exotic board on which this pin is actually used as CS4 - we have never seen one of the latter. These gen4 and gen8 configs set up Calypso MEMIF registers for nCS0 and nCS1; the latter is assumed to be connected to XRAM and is set up for fc-xram. MEMIF configuration registers are set up with WS=4 - please refer to the MEMIF-wait-states article in the freecalypso-docs repository. -h dsample The dsample target is special in two ways: * The PLL multiplier is set to 3 rather than 4, resulting in 39 MHz ARM7 core clock instead of 52 MHz - this slowdown is needed because early D-Sample boards have Calypso C05 chips on them. * Calypso MEMIF setup is done for nCS0 (flash), nCS1 (main XRAM) and nCS2 (extra XRAM), making all of D-Sample XRAM available to fc-xram. For flash manipulation purposes this dsample target is no different from gen8. -h fcfam The only special features of this configuration are: * Calypso MEMIF setup is done for nCS0, nCS1 and nCS2 like on D-Sample; * Flash support is configured to look for the second 8 MiB flash bank on Calypso nCS2. This configuration is required for flash manipulation on boards like our current FCDEV3B that have S71PL129N or S71PL129J flash chips with the second flash chip select wired to Calypso nCS2. This config can be considered a special superset of gen8: every target that works with -h gen8 will also work with -h fcfam, but not the other way around. -h fic FIC's board wiring that has made its way into Openmoko GTA01 and GTA02 PCBs and was also undoubtedly used on FIC's earlier pre-Openmoko phones or modems allows for up to 16 MiB of flash (4 MiB, 8 MiB or 16 MiB flash chips can be populated on the same PCB footprint) with the second flash chip select wired to Calypso nCS4. This -h fic config supports all FIC Calypso devices with 4 MiB, 8 MiB or 16 MiB flash, and like -h fcfam it can be considered a special superset of gen4 and gen8, special for FIC's board wiring where the potential 2nd flash chip select goes to nCS4. -h gta02 This narrowly specialized config is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of FC host tools; please use the new generalized -h fic config instead. -h leonardo This config is a Calypso C05 counterpart to -h fcfam, i.e., -h leonardo differs from -h fcfam only in that the Calypso boot ROM is told to program the PLL with a lower multiplier, running the PLL at 78 MHz instead of 104 MHz, with the ARM7 core getting 39 MHz instead of 52 MHz. This slowdown is needed because early Leonardo boards had Calypso C05 chips on them. -h pirelli The Pirelli DP-L10 phone has had its own dedicated -h pirelli target config since the beginning of FreeCalypso, and this special config is still needed because these phones have 16 MiB flash chips (either S71PL129J or S71PL129N) with the second flash chip select wired to Calypso nCS3, a wiring arrangement original to this Pirelli DP-L10. -h w220 Motorola W220 (made by Chi-Mei, *not* a Compal target!) gets its own special loadtools config because of its XRAM wiring: the XRAM bank sits on Calypso nCS3 instead of the usual nCS1.
