General

ADMtek is part of Infineon technologies AG based in Taiwan and makes home gateway chips.

ADM5120 / ADM5120P

Infineon calls this 'a highly integrated, high performance and flexible System-on-Chip Home Gateway controller'.

ADM5120 Home Gateway Controller Datasheets: v1.13, v1.14, v1.16 and misc datasheets. See also datasheetsite results for ADM5120 datasheet

Specs:

  • 175MHz/227MIPS 4Kc CPU with an embedded cache, 8K-byte I-cache and 8K D-cache MIPS32
  • An embedded memory management unit 32-entry TLB, with 16 organized entry pairs
  • 5 IEEE 802.e Fast Ethernet PHY interfaces and 1 GMII(1)/MII interface
  • Two SDRAM banks (up to 128MB)
  • Two Flash banks (up to 4MB)
  • AMBA-AHB internal bus
  • Embedded ethernet switch engine
  • 2 AMBA ABP UART interfaces
  • AHB-to-PCI bridge that supports 3 master devices (1)
  • GPIO (2))
  • USB 1.1 host controller

Notes:

1 Available in BGA (ADM5120) only, not PQFP (ADM5120P)
2 PQFP has 4 GPIO pins v.s. BGA has 8 pins.

ADM8668 - WildPass

WildPass is a highly integrated SoC which incorporates a powerful 200MHZ CPU with MMU support, a 802.11a/b/g MAC/Baseband, two 802.3 MACs and one 10/100BASE-Tx 802.3u compliant Auto-MDIX transceiver.

  • CPU: 200MHZ MIPS4Kc with 8KB I-cache, 8KB D-Cache with MMU support, 6 DMA engines and Hardware NAT support
  • WLAN (1 802.11a/b/g WMAC + BBP)
  • USB 2.0 Host + PHY interface
  • PCI bridge that can support 3 PCI devices
  • IDE, PCM UART and SPI interfaces
  • IEEE 802.11a/b/g,IEEE 803.11e(WMM), 802.11i(WPA2), 802.11h, IEEE 802.11d and 802.11d Standards compliant
  • AHB devices: MIPS4KC, MC, port1, port2, WLAN, USB2.0 host, PCI, IDE.
  • Debugging interface: JTAG for MIPS-multiICE,trace32
  • Package: 352BGA and 289BGA (excludes PCI and IDE interface)


      • This chip has reached end of life. You will not find any support for such a dated chip.
      • Software package is borrowed from 5120. Almost useless unless you can spend 2 man-years

Bootloaders

Edimax type bootloader

Most ADM5120 boards come with a build in bootloader.

On startup it waits a few seconds before loading a compressed kernel image from Flash. If space is pressed (on the serial console) three times during that time the following menu is presented: 

ADM5120 Boot:

Please enter your key :

The bootloader contains a simple menu-driven interface, CFI FLASH r/w driver, x-modem downloader and zlib 1.1.4 code.

Linux distributions contains a binary form of the bootloader in /Linux-SC/EdiLinux/image/

Extended bootloader

This extended bootloader may be based on the same codebase that the standard Edimax-type bootloader is, but it is larger than the standard one. Anything larger than 32K will possibly overwrite other data on the flash device. This extended bootloader is larger than 32K when compiled. It is possible to build it so that it is less than 32K in length, but to do that TFTP must be disabled. Some info about an extended bootloader is available at http://midge.vlad.org.ua/wiki/bootloader-with-tftp, and the source code can be downloaded from http://midge.vlad.org.ua/misc/bootloader/

CFE for ADM5120

Compex offers a WP54-WRT, a hardware OEM board based on the ADM5120. As part of this solution Compex distributes a CFE bootloader, ported to the ADM5120 harware. There is no sourcecode, the CFE's licence allows to distribute it in the binary-only format. Unfortunately, WP54-WRT contains a "protection chip" sitting on the GPIO0 and GPIO1. CFE won't boot a kernel w/o this chip.

MyLoader

MyLoader is the bootloader only seen so far on Compex wireless routers.

U-Boot

U-Boot support for AMD5120 is currently available as a patch. With this patch U-Boot can replace the manufacturer's bootloader because it does a full initialisation of the hardware. It supports both FLASH memory and Ethernet which opens the possibility to have U-Boot load the Kernel from either TFTP or FLASH. In time support for USB will be implemented to offer the possibility to load the Kernel from a USB mass storage device.

Linux Support

The vmlinuz file is a binary vmlinux file (created using objcopy with -O binary) compressed with gzip. The Edimax GPL sourcecode contains all necessary tools to create a new boot image.

Although YAMON is mentioned in the prom init code it seems to be a result of a bad cut-and-paste job. (Seems, development board was a Mips_Atlas). The commandline is hardcoded. (Unfortunatly spreaded over several files).

The image is a compressed binary file and the kernel entry is expected at a fixed address (which is why anything but the original ADMtek 2.4.18 kernel won't run without tricks).

The kernel is loaded at 0x80002000 and the kernel_entry is expected at 0x800026d8.


Linux 2.4

It seems that all products using this cpu use a 2.4.18 based kernel with additional patches by ADMtek.

This code is available from several vendors of the products mentioned above i.e. for Edimax BR6104.

The userland is based on uClibc and busybox.

Patch for vanilla 2.4.31 can be found at http://joco.kezdionline.ro/linux-2.4.31-adm.diff.bz2. This patch have MTD and ebtables support.

AMiLDA Linux is based on the 2.4.32 kernel, whose patch can be http://downloads.amilda.org/AMiLDA/patches/linux-2.4.32-adm.patch.bz2.
