Re: [Qemu-devel] [Bug 811683] [NEW] 7400, 7410, 7450 cpus vector have wrong exception prefix at reset

[till]

Hi Andreas.

I posted a reply to the bug database. Regarding my 'bios' - it is really 
nothing.
I need it to boot RTEMS. It just mocks up a minimal residual and jumps to
the kernel load address.
You can take a look at

http://www.rtems.org/viewvc/rtems/c/src/lib/libbsp/powerpc/shared/bootloader/

The stuff that goes into the dummy 'bios' is qemu_fakerom.S and 
qemu_fakeres.c

Title:
  7400,7410,7450 cpus vector have wrong exception prefix at reset

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a proprietary ROM implementing system calls that are executed
  via the 'SC' instruction.

  I use qemu-0.14.1,

  qemu-system-ppc -M prep -cpu $CPU -bios my_bios -kernel my_kernel

  That works fine on a 604 (CPU=0x00040103) - but does not on an emulated 7400 
(CPU=0x000c0209) or 7450 (CPU=0x80000201). I found that the emulator jumps to 
0x00000c00 instead of 0xfff00c00.
  Probably this is due to a wrong setting in target-ppc/translate_init.c:

  init_excp_604() correctly sets env->hreset_vector=0xfff00000UL;

  but

  init_excp_7400() says env->hreset_vector=0x00000000UL;

  which seems wrong. (the 7400 manual says a hard-reset jumps initializes the
  prefix to 0xfff00000.)

  Likewise, init_excp_7450() (and probably other, related CPUs) are
  wrong.

  Indeed, when I change the value in init_excp_7400() to 0xfff00000UL then
  everything works as expected for me.
