You also want to set the dirty flag or otherwise the page is not writable. Which page size have you been using? The physical address must be a multiple of the page size of the page and the virtual address must be a multiple of the double of the page size of entry - remember that each TLB entry maps a pair of adjacent pages! The entrylo value is computed by shifting the physical address right by 6 bits then inserting the right flag bits into the low 6 bits. In your case you want to set the valid, dirty and global bits. You also need to set the 3 coherency bits. We want cachable coherent, the same mode as used in the 0xa8... portion of XKPHYS. So we set them to 5. So: c0_entrylo0 = (phyaddr >> 6) | cacheable_coherent | dirty | valid | global c0_entrylo0 = 0x800180 | 0x28 | 0x4 | 0x2 | 0x1 c0_entrylo0 = 0x8001af An extra word about the global bit - there exists only one global bit in the TLB entry though both c0_entrylo0 and c0_entrylo1 have a global bit. The way this works is that the global bit of the TLB entry is written as tlb[entry].g = (c0_entrylo0.g & c0_entrylo1.g) when writing an entry and when read is copied into both entrylo global bits. In other words writing a TLB entry with only one of the G bits in the entrylo register pair set will result in a TLB entry with the G bit cleared. For your example this means: c0_entryhi = 0xc0000000:00002000 c0_entrylo0 = 0x00000000:008001af c0_entrylo1 = 0x00000000:00000001 c0_pagemask = 0x00000000 # 4kB pages c0_framemask = 0x00000000 c0_index = 0x00000000 c0_wired = 0x00000001 tlbwi would generated the mapping and make sure the entry won't be overwritten by random TLB writes. > Of course, the reason I discuss all this is that the above doesn't work. =) Every Linux port has started in a state as advanced as where you are so keep up :-) Ralf
