This file contains basic information on the port of U-Boot to IPHASE4539
(Interphase 4539 T1/E1/J1 PMC Communications Controller).
All the changes fit in the common U-Boot infrastructure, providing a new
IPHASE4539-specific entry in makefiles. To build U-Boot for IPHASE4539,
type "make IPHASE4539_config", edit the "include/config_IPHASE4539.h"
file if necessary, then type "make".
Common file modifications:
--------------------------
The following common files have been modified by this project:
(starting from the ppcboot-1.1.5/ directory)
MAKEALL - IPHASE4539 entry added
Makefile - IPHASE4539_config entry added
New files:
----------
The following new files have been added by this project:
(starting from the ppcboot-1.1.5/ directory)
board/iphase4539/ - board-specific directory
board/iphase4539/Makefile - board-specific makefile
board/iphase4539/config.mk - config file
board/iphase4539/flash.c - flash driver (for AM29LV033C)
board/iphase4539/ppcboot.lds - linker script
board/iphase4539/iphase4539.c - ioport and memory initialization
include/config_IPHASE4539.h - main configuration file
New configuration options:
--------------------------
CONFIG_IPHASE4539
Main board-specific option (should be defined for IPHASE4539).
Acceptance criteria tests:
--------------------------
The following tests have been conducted to validate the port of U-Boot
to IPHASE4539:
1. Operation on serial console:
With SMC1 defined as console in the main configuration file, the U-Boot
output appeared on the serial terminal connected to the 2.5mm stereo jack
connector as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=> help
base - print or set address offset
bdinfo - print Board Info structure
bootm - boot application image from memory
bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol
bootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd'
cmp - memory compare
coninfo - print console devices and informations
cp - memory copy
crc32 - checksum calculation
dcache - enable or disable data cache
echo - echo args to console
erase - erase FLASH memory
flinfo - print FLASH memory information
go - start application at address 'addr'
help - print online help
icache - enable or disable instruction cache
iminfo - print header information for application image
loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode)
loads - load S-Record file over serial line
loop - infinite loop on address range
md - memory display
mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing)
mtest - simple RAM test
mw - memory write (fill)
nm - memory modify (constant address)
printenv- print environment variables
protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection
rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol
reset - Perform RESET of the CPU
run - run commands in an environment variable
saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage
setenv - set environment variables
sleep - delay execution for some time
source - run script from memory
tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol
and env variables ipaddr and serverip
version - print monitor version
? - alias for 'help'

2. Flash driver operation
The following sequence was performed to test the "flinfo" command:

Note: the Hardware Configuration Word (HWC) of the 8260 is on the
first sector of the flash and should not be touched. The U-Boot
environment variables are stored on second sector and U-Boot
starts at the address 0xFFB00000.

U-Boot:
Configure and make U-Boot:
$ cd <path>/u-boot
$ make IPHASE4539_config
$ make dep
$ make
$ cp -p u-boot.bin /tftpboot
Load u-boot.bin into the Flash memory at 0xffb00000.
Linux:
Configure and make Linux:
$ cd <patch>/linux-2.4
$ make IPHASE4539_config
$ make oldconfig
$ make dep
$ make uImage
$ cp -p arch/powerpc/mbxboot/uImage /tftpboot
Load uImage via tftp and boot it.
Flash organisation:
