Re: [PATCH 5/6] mips: bmips: enable RAC on BMIPS4350

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Florian.
Bits 0 and 1 are already enabled by the bootloader, so no need to
write 0xF. I checked it on some devices with BCM6328, 6358, 6368 SoCs.

Example, without the patch, reading the RAC Configuration Register 0 and 1:

- BCM6368 booting from TP0:
root@OpenWrt:/# devmem 0xff400000
0x02A07015
root@OpenWrt:/# devmem 0xff400008
0x0000000F

- BCM6368 booting from TP1:
root@OpenWrt:/# devmem 0xff400000
0x02A0701F
root@OpenWrt:/# devmem 0xff400008
0x00000005
root@OpenWrt:/#

Regards.
Daniel
