2010-09-23Remove unused CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO featureStefan Roese
This patch removes the completely unused CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO feature from U-Boot. It has only been implemented for PPC4xx and was not used at all. So let's remove it and make the code smaller and cleaner. Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de> Acked-by: Detlev Zundel <dzu@denx.de>
2010-09-19ARM: implement relocation for ARM926Heiko Schocher
Change the implementation for arm926 to relocate the code to an arbitrary address in RAM. Adapt the TX25 (i.MX25), magnesium board to test the changes. On the tx25 board TEXT_BASE is set to the final relocation address to prevent one more copying of u-boot code when relocating.

2010-09-19ARM: add relocation supportHeiko Schocher
!! This breaks support for all arm boards !! To compile in old style, you must define CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC or you can compile with "CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC=1 ./MAKEALL board" !!

2010-07-04Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.Wolfgang Denk
The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done by changing the code into "char * const argv[]". This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused after adding a new command, which used the following argument processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot: int main (int argc, char **argv) { while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') { /* ====> */ while (*++*argv) { switch (**argv) { case 'd': debug++; break; ... default: usage (); } } } ... } The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with an error: increment of read-only location '*argv' N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this: while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') { char *arg = *argv; while (*++arg) { switch (*arg) { ...

2010-04-21Move arch/ppc to arch/powerpcStefan Roese
As discussed on the list, move "arch/ppc" to "arch/powerpc" to better match the Linux directory structure. Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in MAKEALL to "powerpc" to match this new infrastructure. But "ppc" is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with scripts using this name.

The CPUDIR variable points to the location of a target's CPU directory. Currently, it is set to cpu/$CPU. However, using $CPUDIR will allow for more flexibility in the future.

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>
