Texas Instruments TNETD7200

Texas Instruments TNETD7200

 * TI AR7 SoC on OpenWrt Wiki


 * 2003 - Originally made by Texas Instruments (TI).
 * 2007 - Texas Instruments sold its DSL business to Infineon.
 * The part number on the SoCs changed the prefix TNETD to PSB.


 * 2009 - Infineon spins off its wireline division to Lantiq.
 * 2009 (Nov 6) - Lantiq annouced that it became a standalone company.

The Architecture is based on a standard MIPS32 Instruction Set, sharing features with
 * the R4600 microprocessor. It can operate in both little and big endian modes.

Almost all brands ship their devices configured in little Endian but Zyxel using Big Endian.

Common features

 * Integrated high performance MIPS 4KEc 32-Bit RISC processor
 * ADSL PHY subsystem based on TI C62x DSP, with integrated transceiver, codec, line driver, and line receiver
 * Integrated IEEE 802.3 PHY; Hardware accelerated ATM SAR
 * Two IEEE 802.3 MACs with integrated Media Independent Interface (MII) and Quality of Service (QoS)
 * Integrated USB 1.1 compliant transceiver, slave. Only TNETV1050 is USB host capable.
 * Two VLYNQ interfaces for compatible high-speed expansion devices
 * Two 16c550 compatible UARTs; EJTAG, GPIO and FSER interfaces
 * 4Kb PROM (0xBFC00000) and 4Kb RAM (0x80000000) on the chip for boot purposes
 * 324 BGA with 1mm ball pitch



Linux support

 * The OpenWrt support for the AR7 SoC family currently only works with following models:
 * TNETD7100, TNETD7200, TNETD7300 (Ohio/Sangam)
 * TNETV1050, TNETV1055, TNETV1056, TNETV1060 (Titan)
 * AC495, AC496 (Audiocodes)
 * Only little endian support. Support for Big endian configured SoCs possible but not integrated into OpenWrt.
 * Full Linux support with runtime detection of the SoC on which the kernel is running.
 * xDSL and ATM are supported; GPL drivers for Ethernet/switch, Watchdog.
 * VLYNQ proprietary bus interface supported for the most common Wi-Fi cards, TNETW1350 not supported.
 * No support for the USB host/slave.

Bootloader

 * Adam2: bootloader commonly used in AR7, with some limitations
 * PSPBoot: an evolution of Adam2, used in the most modern devices
 * Bootbase: bootloader used by ZyXEL in AR7, working in Big endian mode
 * EVA: not very common in AR7, based on Adam2

GPIOs
In OpenWrt the AR7 GPIOs can be accessed by using the char device /dev/gpio,
 * but first you may need to make them available

Now you can control GPIOs using the //echo// command * Enable:	echo e > /dev/gpio/gpioX  * Disable:	echo d > /dev/gpio/gpioX  * Output:	echo o > /dev/gpio/gpioX  * Input:	echo i > /dev/gpio/gpioX  * High:	echo 1 > /dev/gpio/gpioX  * Low: 	echo 0 > /dev/gpio/gpioX 

Example, use GPIO5 as an output and put it on high state: echo e > /dev/gpio/gpio5 echo o > /dev/gpio/gpio5 echo 1 > /dev/gpio/gpio5

With latest OpenWrt versions should be possible to control GPIOs by using the /sys/class/gpio/
 * interface, but it doesn's seeem to be enabled in the kernel.

Therefore building your own firmware with GPIO_SYSFS enabled is required.
