- USB Support:

MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:

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
+
- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
+ 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
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_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.
If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_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.

example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
the following checkpoints are implemented:
-- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
- CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
- CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
- CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX

- These options enable and control the auto-update feature;

to a block boundary, and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple of
the NAND devices block size.
+- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
+
+ Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
+ environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
+ CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
+
- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
some other boot loader or by a debugger which
performs these initializations itself.
+- CONFIG_PRELOADER
+
+ Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
+ that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
+ compiling a NAND SPL.
Building the Software:
======================
$ 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
+
+ Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
+ be executed on computers running Windows.
+
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
configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
load any image using TFTP
- autoscript - if set to "yes" commands like "loadb", "loady",
- "bootp", "tftpb", "rarpboot" and "nfs" will attempt
- to automatically run script images (by internally
- calling "autoscript").
-
- autoscript_uname - if script image is in a format (FIT) this
- variable is used to get script subimage unit name.
-
autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
"rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
be automatically started (by internally calling
average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
624 text + 127 data).
