+ CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
+
+ Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
+ around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
+ support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
+ breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
+ symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
+ purpose.
+
+- Generic CPU options:
+ CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
+
+ Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those

environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed

+- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
+
+ Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
+ want to use for the local device's environment.
+
+ - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
+ - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
+
+ These two #defines specify the address and size of the
+ environment area within the remote memory space. The
+ local device can get the environment from remote memory
+ space by SRIO or other links.

+Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
+-----------------------------------
+
+The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
+loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
+This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
+are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
+within that device.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
+ The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
+ meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
+ is also specified.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
+ The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
+ has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
+ might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
+ local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
+ Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
+ normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
+ virtual address in NOR flash.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
+ Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
+ CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
+ Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
+ device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
+ Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
+ device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
+ Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
+ memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
+ can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO outbound window
+ ->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in master's
+ NOR flash.
+
Building the Software:
======================
make NAME_config
where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
-rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
+rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
additional information is available from the board vendor; for
steps:
1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
- "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
- entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
- boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
- keep this order.
+ "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
+ Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
run - run commands in an environment variable
bootm - boot application image from memory
bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol
+bootz - boot zImage from memory
tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol
and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip"
(and eventually "gatewayip")
fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
+ For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
+ at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
+ only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
+ may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
+ device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
+ of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
+ access it during the boot procedure.
+
If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
to work it must reside in writable memory, have
useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
as command interpreter.
+Booting the Linux zImage:
+-------------------------
+
+On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
+using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
+as the syntax of "bootm" command.
+
+Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
+kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
+address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
+format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
