Boot Linux from FlashROM using OBP (OpenSPARC T1 FPGA)

Question

Hi,
I'd like boot Linux from flashROM using OPB. So, which device identifier should I use?
Thanks,
Alex.

Answer 1

I think that module replacement is difficult, what for do you want to do that?
As to FPGA T2 implementation - I have passed through the synthesis of the 1.3 implementation with Altera Quartus: it is totally asynchronous (even under ifdef FPGA blocks), infers latches instead of RAM blocks and thus can be fit in the largest StratixIV-E only. That is for the only core. So the mininmum of the work to make it suitable for FPGA is synchronous redesign of all memory structures, and that could be reasonable because memory structures in the T1 FPGA implementation are far imperfect still despite of the fact that it (T1) could be fit in medium-sized FPGA.
