94 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE defines that instead of a reset Pin,

96 ATAPI support (experimental)
97 ----------------------------
98 CONFIG_ATAPI enables ATAPI Support
100 SCSI support (experimental) only SYM53C8xx supported
101 ----------------------------------------------------
102 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX type of SCSI controller
103 CFG_SCSI_MAX_LUN 8 number of supported LUNs
104 CFG_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID 7 maximum SCSI ID (0..6)

115 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 MC146818 RTC support
119 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD Standard (PC-Style) Keyboard support
123 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
124 CONFIG_VIDEO must be defined also
126 External peripheral base address:
127 ---------------------------------
128 CFG_ISA_IO_BASE_ADDRESS address of all ISA-bus related parts
129 _must_ be defined for ISA-bus parts
133 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING added to the U_BOOT_VERSION String
138 CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_ENABLE enables page write of the I2C EEPROM
139 CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS _must_ be
143 Environment / Console:
144 ----------------------
146 CFG_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV if defined, stdin, stdout and stderr used from
147 the values stored in the evironment.
149 CFG_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE if defined, console_overwrite() decides if the
150 values stored in the environment or the standard
151 serial in/out put should be assigned to the console.
153 CFG_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE if defined, the start-up console switching
154 are stored in the environment.
158 CONFIG_PORT_ADDR address used to read boot configuration
159 MULTI_PURPOSE_SOCKET_ADDR address of the multi purpose socked
160 SDRAM_EEPROM_WRITE_ADDRESS addresses of the serial presence detect
161 SDRAM_EEPROM_READ_ADDRESS EEPROM on the SDRAM module.
172 Support of a standard floppy disk controller at address CFG_ISA_IO_BASE_ADDRESS
173 + 0x3F0. Enabled with define CONFIG_CMD_FDC. Reads a unformated floppy disk
174 with a image header (see: mkimage). No interrupts and no DMA are used for this.
181 Support for Symbios SYM53C810A chip. Implemented as follows:
184 - multiple LUN support (caution, needs a lot of RAM. define CFG_SCSI_MAX_LUN 1 to
186 - multiple SCSI ID support
188 - analyses the MAC, DOS and ISO pratition similar to the IDE support
189 - allows booting from SCSI devices similar to the IDE support.
190 The device numbers are not assigned like they are within the IDE support. The first
191 device found will get the number 0, the next 1 etc. If all SCSI IDs (0..6) and all
192 LUNs (8) are enabled, 56 boot devices are possible. This uses a lot of RAM since the
193 device descriptors are not yet dynamically allocated. 56 boot devices are overkill
194 anyway. Please refer to the section "Todo" chapter "block device support enhancement".
195 The SYM53C810A uses 1 Interrupt and must be able of mastering the PCI bus.
201 - board/pip405/sym53c8xx.c
202 - board/pip405/sym53c8xx_defs.h
204 ATAPI support (IDE changes):
205 ----------------------------
206 Added ATAPI support (with CONFIG_ATAPI) in the file cmd_ide.c.
207 To support a hardreset, when the IDE reset pin is not connected to the
208 CFG_PC_IDE_RESET pin, the switch CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE has been added. When
209 this switch is enabled the routine void ide_set_reset(int idereset) must be
210 within the board specific files.
211 Only read from ATAPI devices are supported.
212 Found out that the function trim_trail cuts off the last character if the whole
213 string is filled. Added function cpy_ident instead, which trims also leading
214 spaces and copies the string in the buffer.
219 ISO partition support:
220 ----------------------
221 Added CD boot support for El-Torito bootable ISO CDs. The bootfile image must contain
222 the U-Boot image header. Since CDs do not have "partitions", the boot partition is 0.
223 The bootcatalog feature has not been tested so far. CD Boot is supported for ATAPI
224 ("diskboot") and SCSI ("scsiboot") devices.
229 Block device changes:
230 ---------------------
231 To allow the use of dos_part.c, mac_part.c and iso_part.c, the parameter
232 block_dev_desc will be used when accessing the functions in these files. The block
233 device descriptor (block_dev_desc) contains a pointer to the read routine of the
234 device, which will be used to read blocks from the device.
235 Renamed function ide_print to dev_print and moved it to the file disk/part.c to use
236 it for IDE ATAPI and SCSI devices.
237 Please refer to the section "Todo" chapter "block device support enhancement".
250 MC146818 RTC support:
251 ---------------------
252 Added support for MC146818 RTC with defining CONFIG_RTC_MC146818. The ISA bus IO
253 base address must be defined with CFG_ISA_IO_BASE_ADDRESS.
257 Standard ISA bus Keyboard support:
258 ----------------------------------
259 Added support for the standard PC kyeboard controller. For the PIP405 the superIO
260 controller must be set up previously. The keyboard uses the standard ISA IRQ, so
261 the ISA PIC must also be set up.
265 - board/pip405/pip405_isa.c
266 - board/pip405/pip405_isa.h
268 Chips and Technologie 69000 VGA controller support:
269 ---------------------------------------------------
270 Added support for the CT69000 VGA controller.
272 - board/pip405/video.c
273 - board/pip405/video.h
274 - board/pip405/vga_table.h
282 Added the config variable CONFIG_IDENT_STRING which will be added to the
283 "U_BOOT_VERSION __TIME__ DATE___ " String, to allows to identify intermidiate
290 Added IH_OS_U_BOOT and IH_TYPE_FIRMWARE to the image definitions to allows the
291 U-Boot update with prior CRC check.
297 Correct PCI Frequency for PPC405:
298 ---------------------------------
299 Added function (in cpu/ppc4xx/speed.c) to get the PCI frequency for PPC405 CPU.
300 The PCI Frequency will now be set correct in the board description in common/board.c.
301 (was set to the busfreq before).
308 Added defined(CONFIG_PIP405) at several points in common/cmd_i2c.c.
309 Added 16bit read/write support for I2C (PPC405), and page write to
310 I2C EEPROM if defined CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_ENABLE.
315 Environment / Console:
316 ----------------------
317 Although in README.console described, the U-Boot has not assinged the values
318 found in the environment to the console. Corrected this behavior, but only if
319 CFG_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV is defined.
320 If CFG_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE is defined, console_overwrite() decides if the
321 values stored in the environment or the standard serial in/output should be
322 assigned to the console. This is useful if the environment values are not correct.
323 If CFG_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE is defined the devices assigned to the console at
324 start-up time will be written to the environment. This means that if the
325 environment values are overwritten by the overwrite_console() routine, they will be
326 stored in the environment.
330 Correct bootdelay intepretation:
331 --------------------------------
332 Changed bootdelay read from the environment from simple_strtoul (unsigned) to
333 simple_strtol (signed), to be able to get a bootdelay of -1.
340 Block device support enhancement:
341 ---------------------------------
342 Consider to unify the block device handling. Instead of using diskboot for IDE,
343 scsiboot for SCSI and fdcboot for floppy disks, it would make sense to use only
344 one command ("devboot" ???) with a parameter of the desired device ("hda1", "sda1",
345 "fd0" ???) to boot from. The other ide commands can be handled in the same way
346 ("dev hda read.." instead of "ide read.." or "dev sda read.." instead of
347 "scsi read..."). Todo this, a common way of assign a block device to its name
348 (first found ide device = hda, second found hdb etc., or hda is device 0 on bus 0,
349 hdb is device 1 on bus 0 etc.) as well as the names (hdx for ide, sdx for scsi, fx for
350 floppy ???) must be defined.
351 Maybe there are better ideas to do this.
355 Consider to initialize and assign the console stdin, stdout and stderr as soon as
356 possible to see the boot messages also on an other console than serial.
364 Add LCD support for the CT69000
368 Consider to write a default environment to the OTP part of the EEPROM and use it
369 if the normal environment is not valid. Useful for serial# and ethaddr values.
377 Following files needs to be cleaned up:
383 Consider to split up the files in their functions.
