All, I'm running into a weird issue where the 2nd core of a P2020 SoC isn't being woken up by FreeBSD. If I manually frob the EEBPCR register from the U-Boot prompt I see that the second core is booting U-Boot (after which things go bad obviously). But from FreeBSD I don't seem to be able to get a kick. The only real difference I see between U-Boot and FreeBSD is that in FreeBSD we need to program the BPTR register to have the boot page mapped to where the kernel is loaded. But I have no reason to suspect that this is in any way related to why I can't bring the 2nd core up. BTW: The logic in FreeBSD worked fine on a P1020. Does anyone know of any erratas I should be concerned about or have had similar experiences they can share. Thanks, -- Marcel Moolenaar marcelm@juniper.nethelp
