+Board initialization settings:
+------------------------------
+
+During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
+to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
+before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
+following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
+architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
+typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
+
+- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
+- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
+- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
+- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
Configuration Settings:
-----------------------
used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
- and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
+ and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
- during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
+ during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
aligned to an erase block boundary.
- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
- be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
+ be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
compiling a NAND SPL.
+- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
+ define this, if you want to read first the oob data
+ and then the data. This is used for example on
+ davinci plattforms.
+
- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
conditions but may increase the binary size.
+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.

bootm_mapsize.
- bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.

address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
