Linux on the CRIS architecture
==============================
2005-04-17 02:20:36 +04:00
2011-04-12 14:05:19 +04:00
This is a port of Linux to Axis Communications ETRAX 100LX,
ETRAX FS and ARTPEC-3 embedded network CPUs.
For more information about CRIS and ETRAX please see further below.
2005-04-17 02:20:36 +04:00
In order to compile this you need a version of gcc with support for the
2011-04-12 14:05:19 +04:00
ETRAX chip family. Please see this link for more information on how to
2005-04-17 02:20:36 +04:00
download the compiler and other tools useful when building and booting
software for the ETRAX platform:

What is CRIS ?
--------------
CRIS is an acronym for 'Code Reduced Instruction Set'. It is the CPU
architecture in Axis Communication AB's range of embedded network CPU's,
2011-04-12 14:05:19 +04:00
called ETRAX.

The ETRAX 100LX chip
--------------------
2011-04-12 14:05:19 +04:00
For reference, please see the following link:

2011-04-12 14:05:19 +04:00
The ETRAX 100LX is a 100 MIPS processor with 8kB cache, MMU, and a very broad
range of built-in interfaces, all with modern scatter/gather DMA.
2005-04-17 02:20:36 +04:00
Memory interfaces:
* SRAM
* NOR-flash/ROM
* EDO or page-mode DRAM
* SDRAM
I/O interfaces:
* one 10/100 Mbit/s ethernet controller
* four serial-ports (up to 6 Mbit/s)
* two synchronous serial-ports for multimedia codec's etc.
* USB host controller and USB slave
* ATA
* SCSI
* two parallel-ports
* two generic 8-bit ports
2011-04-12 14:05:19 +04:00
(not all interfaces are available at the same time due to chip pin
2005-04-17 02:20:36 +04:00
multiplexing)
2011-04-12 14:05:19 +04:00
ETRAX 100LX is CRISv10 architecture.
The ETRAX FS and ARTPEC-3 chips
-------------------------------
2005-04-17 02:20:36 +04:00
2011-04-12 14:05:19 +04:00
The ETRAX FS is a 200MHz 32-bit RISC processor with on-chip 16kB
I-cache and 16kB D-cache and with a wide range of device interfaces
including multiple high speed serial ports and an integrated USB 1.1 PHY.
2005-04-17 02:20:36 +04:00
2011-04-12 14:05:19 +04:00
The ARTPEC-3 is a variant of the ETRAX FS with additional IO-units
used by the Axis Communications network cameras.
See below link for more information:
http://www.axis.com/products/dev_etrax_fs/index.htm
ETRAX FS and ARTPEC-3 are both CRISv32 architectures.

Bootlog
-------
Just as an example, this is the debug-output from a boot of Linux 2.4 on
a board with ETRAX 100LX. The displayed BogoMIPS value is 5 times too small :)
At the end you see some user-mode programs booting like telnet and ftp daemons.
