2009-10-10Rewrite the miiphybb (Bit-banged MII bus driver) in order to support an ↵Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini
arbitrary number of mii buses. This feature is useful when your board uses different mii buses for different phys and all (or a part) of these buses are implemented via bit-banging mode. The driver requires that the following macros should be defined into the board configuration file: CONFIG_BITBANGMII - Enable the miiphybb driver CONFIG_BITBANGMII_MULTI - Enable the multi bus support If the CONFIG_BITBANGMII_MULTI is not defined, the board's config file needs to define at least the following macros: MII_INIT - Generic code to enable the MII bus (optional) MDIO_DECLARE - Declaration needed to access to the MDIO pin (optional) MDIO_ACTIVE - Activate the MDIO pin as out pin MDIO_TRISTATE - Activate the MDIO pin as input/tristate pin MDIO_READ - Read the MDIO pin MDIO(v) - Write v on the MDIO pin MDC_DECLARE - Declaration needed to access to the MDC pin (optional) MDC(v) - Write v on the MDC pin The previous macros make the driver compatible with the previous version (that didn't support the multi-bus). When the CONFIG_BITBANGMII_MULTI is also defined, the board code needs to fill the bb_miiphy_buses[] array with a record for each required bus and declare the bb_miiphy_buses_num variable with the number of mii buses. The record (struct bb_miiphy_bus) has the following fields/callbacks (see miiphy.h for details): char name[] - The symbolic name that must be equal to the MII bus registered name int (*init)() - Initialization function called at startup time (just before the Ethernet initialization) int (*mdio_active)() - Activate the MDIO pin as output int (*mdio_tristate)() - Activate the MDIO pin as input/tristate pin int (*set_mdio)() - Write the MDIO pin int (*get_mdio)() - Read the MDIO pin int (*set_mdc)() - Write the MDC pin int (*delay)() - Delay function void *priv - Private data used by board specific code The board code will look like: struct bb_miiphy_bus bb_miiphy_buses[] = { { .name = miibus#1, .init = b1_init, .mdio_active = b1_mdio_active, ... }, { .name = miibus#2, .init = b2_init, .mdio_active = b2_mdio_active, ... }, ... int bb_miiphy_buses_num = sizeof(bb_miiphy_buses) / sizeof(bb_miiphy_buses[0]); Signed-off-by: Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini <luigi.mantellini@idf-hit.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Warren <biggerbadderben@gmail.com>

2009-09-30sbc8548: reclaim wasted sector in boot flashPaul Gortmaker
By nature of being based off the MPC8548CDS board, this board inherited an ENV_SIZE setting of 256k. But since it has a smaller flash device (8MB soldered on), it has a native sector size of 128k, and hence the ENV_SIZE was causing 2 sectors to be used for the environment. By removing the unused sector, we can push TEXT_BASE up closer to the end of address space and reclaim that sector for any other application. This also fixes the mismatch between TEXT_BASE and MONITOR_LEN reported by Kumar earlier. Since this board also supports the ability to boot off the 64MB SODIMM flash, this change is forward looking with that in mind; i.e. the settings for MONITOR_LEN and ENV_SIZE will work when the 512k sectors of the SODIMM flash are used for alternate boot in the future.

2009-09-24sbc8548: replace README with completely new documentPaul Gortmaker
The previous README.sbc8548 was pretty much content-free. Replace it with something that actually gives the end user some relevant hardware details, and also lists the u-boot configuration choices. Also in the cosmetic department, fix the bogus line in the Makefile that was carried over from the SBC8560 Makefile, and the typo in the sbc8548.c copyright.

2009-09-02Blackfin: change global data register from P5 to P3Robin Getz
Since the Blackfin ABI favors higher scratch registers by default, use the last scratch register (P3) for global data rather than the first (P5). This allows the compiler's register allocator to use higher number scratch P registers, which in turn better matches the Blackfin instruction set, which reduces the size of U-Boot by more than 1024 bytes...

2009-07-27sbc8349: combine HRCW flash and u-boot image flashPaul Gortmaker
Up to this point in time, the sbc8349 board was storing the u-boot image in flash 2x. One for the HRCW value at the beginning of flash (0xff80_0000), and once close to the end of flash (0xfff8_0000) for the actual image that got executed. This moves the TEXT_BASE to be the beginning of flash, which makes the second copy of the image redundant, and frees up the flash from the end of the environment storage to the end of the flash device itself.

2009-07-16Remove legacy NAND and disk on chip code.Scott Wood
Legacy NAND had been scheduled for removal. Any boards that use this were already not building in the previous release due to an #error. The disk on chip code in common/cmd_doc.c relies on legacy NAND, and it has also been removed. There is newer disk on chip code in drivers/mtd/nand; someone with access to hardware and sufficient time and motivation can try to get that working, but for now disk on chip is not supported.

2009-07-07davinci_nand: cleanup II (CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_BROKEN_ECC)David Brownell
Remove CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_BROKEN_ECC option. It's not just nasty; it's also unused by any current boards, and doesn't even match the main U-Boot distributions from TI (which use soft ECC, or 4-bit ECC on newer chips that support it). DaVinci GIT kernels since 2.6.24, and mainline Linux since 2.6.30, match non-BROKEN code paths for 1-bit HW ECC. The BROKEN code paths do seem to partially match what MontaVista/TI kernels (4.0/2.6.10, and 5.0/2.6.18) do ... but only for small pages. Large page support is really broken (and it's unclear just what software it was trying to match!), and the ECC layout was making three more bytes available for use by filesystem (or whatever) code. Since this option itself seems broken, remove it. Add a comment about the MV/TI compat issue, and the most straightforward way to address it (should someone really need to solve it).

2009-04-03Noisily disable the legacy NAND subsystem.Scott Wood
Legacy NAND is marked for feature removal after April 2009 (i.e. this upcoming release). There are still several boards that reference it (though many do so only for disk-on-chip support which has been silently disabled for a while now). These boards will now fail to build with #error, though the code is still there if the user removes #error. The plan is to remove the code outright in the next release, along with any board code that refers to it (such as board/esd/common/auto_update.c). Also, remove the legacy NAND API description from README.nand. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>
