Software Configuration:
=======================
-Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
-rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
-
-There are two classes of configuration variables:
-
-* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
- These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
- "CONFIG_".
-
-* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
- These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
- you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
- "CONFIG_SYS_".
-
-Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
-symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
-U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
-allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
-build.

Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
---------------------------------------------------
- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
-- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
- Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
-
-- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
- Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
-
-- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
- Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
-
-- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
- Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
-
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
instead of U-Boot software protection.
-- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
-
- Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
- without this option such a download has to be
- performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
- copy from RAM to flash.
-
- The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
- you can check if the download worked before you erase
- the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
- too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
- downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
-
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
