+Memory Size and using SPD:
+==========================
+
+The default configuration uses hard coded memory configuration settings
+for 256MB of DDR2 @400MHz. It does not by default use the DDR2 SPD
+EEPROM data to read what memory is installed.
+
+There is a hardware errata, which causes the older local bus SDRAM
+SPD EEPROM to land at the same address as the DDR2 SPD EEPROM, so
+that the SPD data can not be read reliably. You can test if your
+board has the errata fix by running "i2c probe". If you see 0x53
+as a valid device, it has been fixed. If you only see 0x50, 0x51
+then your board does not have the fix.
+
+You can also visually inspect the board to see if this hardware
+fix has been applied:
+
+ 1) Remove R314 (RES-R0174-033, 1K, 0603). R314 is located on
+ the back of the PCB behind the DDR SDRAM SODIMM connector.
+ 2) Solder RES-R0174-033 (1K, 0603) resistor from R314 pin 2 pad
+ to R313 pin 2. Pin 2 for each resistor is the end of the
+ resistor closest to the CPU.
+
+Boards without the mod will have R314 and R313 in parallel, like "||".
+After the mod, they will be touching and form an "L" shape.
+
+If you want to upgrade to larger RAM size, you can simply enable
+ #define CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
+ #define CONFIG_DDR_SPD
+in include/configs/sbc8548.h file. (The lines are already there
+but listed as #undef).
+
+If you did the i2c test, and your board does not have the errata
+fix, then you will have to physically remove the LBC 128MB DIMM
+from the board's socket to resolve the above i2c address overlap
+issue and allow SPD autodetection of RAM to work.
+
+
+Updating U-boot with U-boot:
+============================
+
+Note that versions of u-boot up to and including 2009.08 had u-boot stored
+at 0xfff8_0000 -> 0xffff_ffff (512k). Currently it is being stored from
+0xfffa_0000 -> 0xffff_ffff (384k). If you use an old macro/script to
+update u-boot with u-boot and it uses the old address, you will render
+your board inoperable, and you will require JTAG recovery.
+
+The following steps list how to update with the current address:
+
+ tftp u-boot.bin
+ md 200000 10
+ protect off all
+ erase fffa0000 ffffffff
+ cp.b 200000 fffa0000 60000
+ md fffa0000 10
+ protect on all
+
+The "md" steps in the above are just a precautionary step that allow
+you to confirm the u-boot version that was downloaded, and then confirm
+that it was copied to flash.
+
+The above assumes that you are using the default board settings which
+have u-boot in the 8MB flash, tied to /CS0.
+
+If you are running the default 8MB /CS0 settings but want to store an
+image in the SODIMM that is built with CONFIG_SYS_ALT_BOOT enabled,
+(as a backup, etc) then the steps will become:
+
+ tftp u-boot.bin
+ md 200000 10
+ protect off all
+ era eff00000 efffffff
+ cp.b 200000 eff00000 100000
+ md eff00000 10
+ protect on all
+
+Finally, if you are running the alternate 64MB /CS0 settings and want
+to update the in-use u-boot image, then (again with CONFIG_SYS_ALT_BOOT
+enabled) the steps will become:
+
+ tftp u-boot.bin
+ md 200000 10
+ protect off all
+ era fff00000 ffffffff
+ cp.b 200000 fff00000 100000
+ md fff00000 10
+ protect on all
+
Hardware Reference:
===================
Sodimm flash:
intel V28F128Jx, 16384x8 (4 devices) at 0xfb80_0000
+ Note that this address reflects the default setting for
+ the JTAG debugging tools, but since the alignment is
+ rather inconvenient, u-boot puts it at 0xec00_0000.
Jumpers:
onto /CS0 and the SODIMM flash on /CS6 (default). When JP12
is jumpered parallel to the LBC-SDRAM, then /CS0 is for the
SODIMM flash and /CS6 is for the boot flash. Note that in this
-alternate setting, you also need to switch SW2.8 to ON. Currently
-u-boot doesn't support booting off the SODIMM in this alternate
-setting without manually altering BR0/OR0 and BR6/OR6 in the
-board config file appropriately.
+alternate setting, you also need to switch SW2.8 to ON.
+See the setting CONFIG_SYS_ALT_BOOT if you want to use this setting
+and boot u-boot from the 64MB SODIMM
Switches:
0000_0000 0fff_ffff MCS0,1 64 DDR2 (256MB)
f000_0000 f7ff_ffff CS3,4 32 LB SDRAM (128MB)
f800_0000 f8b0_1fff CS5 - EPLD
-fb80_0000 ff7f_ffff CS6 32 SODIMM flash (64MB)
+fb80_0000 ff7f_ffff CS6 32 SODIMM flash (64MB) [*]
ff80_0000 ffff_ffff CS0 8 Boot flash (8MB)
+[*] fb80 represents the default programmed by WR JTAG register files,
+ but u-boot places the flash at either ec00 or fc00 based on JP12.
