Problems enabling MMU on ARM Cortex-A8. CPU is S5PV210

1.1k views Asked by At

These days i just want to write some bare-metal codes to deal with MMU, after days of trying, I still can't make it working. Since i can't debug it with serial console , and i don't have expensive debugger like D-STREAM, What i can do is to paste codes here and seek for help. I don't want to be a leech, but i really don't know what futher information i can provide.

My CPU is S5PV210 based on cortex-A8 architecture What i want to do is just doing a flat memory mapping, which just mean "Virtual Address == Physical Address" The codes after

 "ldr    pc, =0x30000000\n"

is just flash LED program. If a comment this line in "enable_mmu"

"orr    r0, r0, #0x0001\n"          /* .... .... .... ...1 Enable MMU */

my flash led program will work well, if i uncomment it , flash led stop working. Here is the whole program

#define ttl_base 0x2F000000
#define MMU_DES_FULL_ACESS (3<<10) 
#define MMU_DES_DOMAIN (0<<5) 
#define MMU_DES_EXECUTE_NEVER (0<<4) 
#define MMU_DES_CACHEABLE (1<<3) 
#define MMU_DES_BUFFERABLE (1<<2) 
#define MMU_DES_SECTION (2) 
#define MMU_DES_ATTRIBUTE (MMU_DES_SECTION|MMU_DES_BUFFERABLE|MMU_DES_CACHEABLE|MMU_DES_EXECUTE_NEVER|MMU_DES_DOMAIN|MMU_DES_FULL_ACESS)
void init_mmu()
{
    //Create Translation Table for a flat map (Vitual Address == Physical Address)
    u32 virtualaddr,phyaddr;
    u32 *mmu_tlb_base=(u32 *)ttl_base;

    virtualaddr = 0x0;
    phyaddr = 0x0;
    while(1)
    {
        *(mmu_tlb_base + (virtualaddr>>20)) = (phyaddr & 0xFFF00000) | (MMU_DES_ATTRIBUTE); //map 0x0x30000000-0x30100000 to 0xB0000000-0xB0100000
        virtualaddr+=0x100000;
        phyaddr+=0x100000;
        if (phyaddr==0x00000000)
        {
            break;
        }
    }
}

It seems that your page table init code is right. But you need to provide the MMU_DES_ATTRIBUTE. I think there is something wrong with the attributes.
