| 4 | 1. Board Description |
| 5 | |
| 6 | The mvBL-M7 is a 120x120mm single board computing platform |
| 7 | with strong focus on stereo image processing applications. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Power Supply is either VDC 12-48V or Pover over Ethernet (PoE) |
| 10 | on any port (requires add-on board). |
| 11 | |

| Andre Schwarz | c005b93 | 2008-06-10 09:13:16 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 27 | 2.3 FPGA |
| 28 | Altera Cyclone-II EP2C20/35 with PCI DMA engines. |
| 29 | Connects to dual Matrix Vision specific CCD/CMOS sensor interfaces. |
| 30 | Utilizes another 256MB DDR-II memory and 32-128MB Nand Flash. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | 2.3.1 I/O @ FPGA |
| 33 | 2x8 Outputs : Infineon High-Side Switches to Main Supply. |
| 34 | 2x8 Inputs : Programmable input threshold + trigger capabilities |
| 35 | 2 dedicated flash interfaces for illuminator boards. |
| 36 | Cross trigger for chaining several boards. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | 2.4 I2C |
| 39 | Bus1: |
| 40 | MAX5381 DAC @ 0x60 for 1st digital input threshold. |
| 41 | LM75 @ 0x90 for temperature monitoring. |
| 42 | EEPROM @ 0xA0 for system setup (HRCW etc.) + vendor specifics. |
| 43 | 1st image sensor interface (slave adresses depend on sensor) |
| 44 | Bus2: |
| 45 | MAX5381 DAC @ 0x60 for 2nd digital input threshold. |
| 46 | 2nd image sensor interface (slave adresses depend on sensor) |
| 47 | |
| 48 | 3 Flash layout. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | reset vector is 0xFFF00100, i.e. "HIGHBOOT". |
| 51 | |
| 52 | FF800000 environment |
| 53 | FF802000 redundant environment |
| 54 | FF804000 u-boot script image |
| 55 | FF806000 redundant u-boot script image |
| 56 | FF808000 device tree blob |
| 57 | FF80A000 redundant device tree blob |
| 58 | FF80C000 tbd. |
| 59 | FF80E000 tbd. |
| 60 | FF810000 kernel |
| 61 | FFC00000 root FS |
| 62 | FFF00000 u-boot |
| 63 | FFF80000 FPGA raw bit file |
| 64 | |
| 65 | mtd partitions are propagated to linux kernel via device tree blob. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | 4 Booting |
| 68 | |
| 69 | On startup the bootscript @ FF804000 is executed. This script can be |
| 70 | exchanged easily. Default boot mode is "boot from flash", i.e. system |
| 71 | works stand-alone. |
| 72 | |
| 73 | This behaviour depends on some environment variables : |
| 74 | |
| 75 | "netboot" : yes ->try dhcp/bootp and boot from network. |
| 76 | A "dhcp_client_id" and "dhcp_vendor-class-identifier" can be used for |
| 77 | DHCP server configuration, e.g. to provide different images to |
| 78 | different devices. |
| 79 | |
| 80 | During netboot the system tries to get 3 image files: |
| 81 | 1. Kernel - name + data is given during BOOTP. |
| 82 | 2. Initrd - name is stored in "initrd_name" |
| 83 | 3. device tree blob - name is stored in "dtb_name" |
| 84 | Fallback files are the flash versions. |
