    1 Linux 2.4 on the CRIS architecture
    2 ==================================
    3 $Id: README,v 1.7 2001/04/19 12:38:32 bjornw Exp $

    5 This is a port of Linux 2.4 to Axis Communications ETRAX 100LX embedded 
    6 network CPU. For more information about CRIS and ETRAX please see further
    7 below.
    8 
    9 In order to compile this you need a version of gcc with support for the
   10 ETRAX chip family. Please see this link for more information on how to 
   11 download the compiler and other tools useful when building and booting
   12 software for the ETRAX platform:
   13

   15 
   16 <more specific information should come in this document later>
   17 
   18 What is CRIS ?
   19 --------------
   20 
   21 CRIS is an acronym for 'Code Reduced Instruction Set'. It is the CPU
   22 architecture in Axis Communication AB's range of embedded network CPU's,
   23 called ETRAX. The latest CPU is called ETRAX 100LX, where LX stands for
   24 'Linux' because the chip was designed to be a good host for the Linux
   25 operating system.
   26 
   27 The ETRAX 100LX chip
   28 --------------------
   29 
   30 For reference, plase see the press-release:
   31 
   32 http://www.axis.com/news/us/001101_etrax.htm
   33 
   34 The ETRAX 100LX is a 100 MIPS processor with 8kB cache, MMU, and a very broad 
   35 range of  built-in interfaces, all with modern scatter/gather DMA.
   36 
   37 Memory interfaces:
   38 
   39         * SRAM
   40         * NOR-flash/ROM
   41         * EDO or page-mode DRAM
   42         * SDRAM
   43 
   44 I/O interfaces:
   45 
   46         * one 10/100 Mbit/s ethernet controller
   47         * four serial-ports (up to 6 Mbit/s)
   48         * two synchronous serial-ports for multimedia codec's etc.
   49         * USB host controller and USB slave
   50         * ATA
   51         * SCSI
   52         * two parallel-ports
   53         * two generic 8-bit ports
   54         
   55         (not all interfaces are available at the same time due to chip pin 
   56          multiplexing)
   57 
   58 The previous version of the ETRAX, the ETRAX 100, sits in almost all of
   59 Axis shipping thin-servers like the Axis 2100 web camera or the ETRAX 100
   60 developer-board. It lacks an MMU so the Linux we run on that is a version
   61 of uClinux (Linux 2.0 without MM-support) ported to the CRIS architecture.
   62 The new Linux 2.4 port has full MM and needs a CPU with an MMU, so it will
   63 not run on the ETRAX 100.
   64 
   65 A version of the Axis developer-board with ETRAX 100LX (running Linux
   66 2.4) is now available. For more information please see developer.axis.com.

   69 Bootlog
   70 -------
   71 
   72 Just as an example, this is the debug-output from a boot of Linux 2.4 on
   73 a board with ETRAX 100LX. The displayed BogoMIPS value is 5 times too small :)
   74 At the end you see some user-mode programs booting like telnet and ftp daemons.
