Software Configuration:
=======================
that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
+ CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
+
+ Define this option if you want to enable the
+ ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
+
- Intel Monahans options:

* Adds the "fdt" command
* The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
- OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node.
- OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node.
+ OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
+ MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
+ OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for

param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
+ CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
+
+ U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
+ If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
+ removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
+ so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
+ crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
+ no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
+

+
+ CONFIG_RMII

CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL
May be defined to allow interrupt polling
instead of using asynchronous interrupts
allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
loaded very quickly after power-on.
+ CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
+
+ If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
+ on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
+ position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
+ number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
+ is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
+ specify 'm' for centering the image.
+
+ Example:
+ setenv splashpos m,m
+ => image at center of screen
+
+ setenv splashpos 30,20
+ => image at x = 30 and y = 20
+
+ setenv splashpos -10,m
+ => vertically centered image
+ at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

+ CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
+
+ Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
+ for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
+
- Multicast TFTP Mode:
CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
command line interface.
- CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE is a recommended option that places
- all I2C commands under a single 'i2c' root command. The
- older 'imm', 'imd', 'iprobe' etc. commands are considered
- deprecated and may disappear in the future.
-
CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
the CPU's i2c node address).
- Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
- sets the CPU up as a master node and so its address should
- therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual
- p.16-473). So, set CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.

+ CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
+
+ CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
+
+ When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
+ chips might think that the current transfer is still
+ in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
+ commands until the slave device responds.
That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
- when the 'i2c probe' command is issued (or 'iprobe' using the legacy
- command). If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS is set, specify a list of bus-device
- pairs. Otherwise, specify a 1D array of device addresses
+ when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
+ is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
+ a 1D array of device addresses
e.g.
#undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
- the environment like the autoscript function or the
+ the environment like the "source" command or the
boot command first.

======================
$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
$ export CROSS_COMPILE
+Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
+ the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
+ (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
+ toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
+
+ $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools

U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
is done by typing:
cp - memory copy
cmp - memory compare
crc32 - checksum calculation
-imd - i2c memory display
-imm - i2c memory modify (auto-incrementing)
-inm - i2c memory modify (constant address)
-imw - i2c memory write (fill)
-icrc32 - i2c checksum calculation
-iprobe - probe to discover valid I2C chip addresses
-iloop - infinite loop on address range
-isdram - print SDRAM configuration information
+i2c - I2C sub-system
sspi - SPI utility commands
base - print or set address offset
printenv- print environment variables
working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
