Description


Raspberry Pi

SoC: Broadcom BCM2835

CPU: ARM1176 (ARMv6) (1 @ 700MHz)

Cache: L1 16KB / L2 128KB (Shared with GPU)

FPU: VFPV2

GPU: Broadcom VideoCore IV (VC4)

RAM: 512MB (256MB on Model A/A+)

USB: Synopsys DesignWare Hi-Speed USB 2.0 On-The-Go Controller (DWCOTG)

LAN: SMSC LAN9512 (SMSC LAN9514 on Model B+ / No LAN on Model A/A+/Zero) (SMSC95XX)

SD/MMC: Arasan (BCM2708)

WiFi: (None)

Bluetooth: (None)

Other: GPIO / SPI / I2C / I2S / PL011 (UART) / PWM / SMI / Watchdog (PM) / Random (RNG) / Timer ???

Boot RPi

The boot loader on the Raspberry Pi will load this code at address 0x00008000 onwards and set the following registers before jumping to this code.

R0 - Zero

R1 - Machine Type (Raspberry Pi or BCM2708 = 0x0c42)

R2 - Address of the ARM Tags structure (Normally 0x0100)

On entry to this code the processor will be in the following state:

World - Secure

Mode - Supervisor (ARM_MODE_SVC)

MMU - Disabled

FPU - Disabled

L1 Data Cache - Disabled

L1 Instruction Cache - Disabled

Branch Predication - Disabled

Unaligned Data Access - Disabled

Ultibo switches the processor to System mode for all operations and remains in the Secure world.

The initialization process enables the MMU, FPU, L1 Cache and other performance optimizations.
