Summary
=======

This README is about U-Boot support for Renesas's ARM Cortex-A9 based RMOBILE[1]
and Cortex-A9/A53/A57 based R-Car[2] family of SoCs. Renesas's RMOBILE/R-Car SoC
family contains an ARM Cortex-A9/A53/A57.

Currently the following boards are supported:

Toolchain
=========

Either ARMv7 toolchain for 32bit Cortex-A9 systems or ARMv8 (aarch64)
toolchain for 64bit Cortex-A53/A57 systems. Currently we compile the
32bit systems with -march=armv5 to allow more compilers to work. (For
U-Boot code this has no performance impact.)

Currently, ELDK[5], Linaro[6], CodeSourcery[7] and Emdebian[8] supports
ARMv7. Modern distributions also contain ARMv7 and ARMv8 crosstoolchains
in their package feeds.

Build
=====

Locate defconfig in the table above. Then apply standard build procedure:

  make <board>_defconfig
  make

  Note: Armadillo-800-EVA's U-Boot supports booting from SDcard only.
        Please see "B.2 Appendix B Boot Specifications" in hardware manual.
