Ionela Voinescu d6aaca95f6 pistachio: add DDR2 initialization code
This is the intialization code specific to the Winbond
W972GG6JB-25 part using Synopsys DDR uMCTL and DDR Phy.

This is DDR2 initialization code only (currently present
on the bring up board). DDR3 initialization code will follow
for boards having DDR3 memory.

The programming procedure that is executed at power up to bring
up the uMCTL, PHY and memories into a state where reads and
writes to the memory can be performed is the following:

1. uPCTL (Universal DDR protocol controller) initialization
   The timining registers TOGCNT1U, TINIT, TOGCNT100N and TRSTH
   needed for driving the memory power-up sequence are programmed
   as a function of the internal timers clock frequency.
   Organization (memory chip specific) values are set
   (column/bank/row address width and number of ranks), together
   with other static values (latency, timing, power up configuration).
   All these values are static, provided by the datasheet,
   being determined by the memory type, size and frequency.
2. PHY initialization
   The PHY is programmed with datasheet provided values,
   specifying the initialization values for it to send to the
   external memory (timing parameters).
   Also, delay lines (DLL) and strength of drive pads are
   calibrated (based on external conditions: temperature,
   voltage, noise) and locked. After that, the PHY goes
   through a trainig process (also dependent on the
   current conditions at boot time) to establish precise
   timing configuration between the DDR clock and DQS (data strobe)
   and between DQS and DQ (data).
3. Memory power up
4. Switch from configuration state to access state.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:31438, chrome-os-partner:37087
TEST=tested on Pistachio bring up board -> DDR initialized
     properly and ramstage executed correctly
     DDR2 is also tested during chip sort.
     Corner cases (performace of DDR in different conditions)
     will be tested after the chip reaches a stable state.

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:

  http://www.coreboot.org

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
