Versioning:
===========
-U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a
-sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2",
-sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4".
+Starting with the release in October 2008, the names of the releases
+were changed from numerical release numbers without deeper meaning
+into a time stamp based numbering. Regular releases are identified by
+names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date.
+Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix
+releases in "stable" maintenance trees.
-The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development
-between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of
-U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0".
+Examples:
+ U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009
+ U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree
+ U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release

+ no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
+

-
- Leave undefined to disable this feature, including
- disable the buffer and hardware handshake.
-

CONFIG_LBA48
Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
- Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA ,CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_VSPRINTF and CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_STRTOUL
+ Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.

+ CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA
+ Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
+ Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
+ If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur

+ for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100
CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL
May be defined to allow interrupt polling
instead of using asynchronous interrupts
and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
+ CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
+ Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
+ SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU

+ '1' Output video to the LVDS connector
+ '2' Output video to the Dual-Link LVDS connector
+
- Keyboard Support:
CONFIG_KEYBOARD
images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
splashscreen support or the bmp command.
+- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
+
+ If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
+ can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
+ bmp command.

- Compression support:
CONFIG_BZIP2
Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
+ CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
+
+ Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
+ for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
+
- Multicast TFTP Mode:
CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
the CPU's i2c node address).
- Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
- sets the CPU up as a master node and so its address should
- therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual
- p.16-473). So, set CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.

+ eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
+ CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
+
+ CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
+
+ When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
+ chips might think that the current transfer is still
+ in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
+ commands until the slave device responds.
That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
#define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
+ CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
+
+ If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
+ then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
+ used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
+ have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
+
+ You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
+ the generic GPIO functions.
+
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
is run early in the boot sequence.
+ CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
+
+ An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
+ defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
+ boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
+ is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
+ using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
+ controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
+ i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
+ controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
+
CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
D/As on the SACSng board)
+ CONFIG_SH_SPI
+
+ Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
+ only SH7757 is supported.
+

CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:

all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"

+ then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
+ Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
+ initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
+ is enabled.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
+ Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between

- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
Max number of Flash memory banks
on high Ethernet traffic.
Defaults to 4 if not defined.
+- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
+
+ Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
+ internally to store the environment settings. The default

+ cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
+ lib/hashtable.c for details.
+
The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
following configurations:
- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
+ - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C

+ #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0"
+
+ EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
+ a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment

- size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data,
- so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a

bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm

configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
load any image using TFTP
