-Keyboard:
----------
-CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD Standard (PC-Style) Keyboard support
-
-Video:
-------
-CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
- CONFIG_VIDEO must be defined also
-
-External peripheral base address:
----------------------------------
-CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_BASE_ADDRESS address of all ISA-bus related parts
- _must_ be defined for ISA-bus parts
-
-Identify:
----------
-CONFIG_IDENT_STRING added to the U_BOOT_VERSION String
-
-Environment / Console:
-----------------------
-
-CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV if defined, stdin, stdout and stderr used from
- the values stored in the evironment.
-
-CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE if defined, console_overwrite() decides if the
- values stored in the environment or the standard
- serial in/out put should be assigned to the console.
-
-CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE if defined, the start-up console switching
- are stored in the environment.
-
-PIP405 specific:

-
-
-Changes:
-========
-
-Added Devices:
-==============
-
-Floppy support:
----------------
-Support of a standard floppy disk controller at address CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_BASE_ADDRESS
-+ 0x3F0. Enabled with define CONFIG_CMD_FDC. Reads a unformated floppy disk
-with a image header (see: mkimage). No interrupts and no DMA are used for this.
-Added files:
-- common/cmd_fdc.c
-- include/cmd_fdc.h
-
-SCSI support:
--------------
-Support for Symbios SYM53C810A chip. Implemented as follows:
-- without disconnect
-- only asynchrounous
-- multiple LUN support (caution, needs a lot of RAM. define CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN 1 to
- save RAM)
-- multiple SCSI ID support
-- no write support
-- analyses the MAC, DOS and ISO pratition similar to the IDE support
-- allows booting from SCSI devices similar to the IDE support.
-The device numbers are not assigned like they are within the IDE support. The first
-device found will get the number 0, the next 1 etc. If all SCSI IDs (0..6) and all
-LUNs (8) are enabled, 56 boot devices are possible. This uses a lot of RAM since the
-device descriptors are not yet dynamically allocated. 56 boot devices are overkill
-anyway. Please refer to the section "Todo" chapter "block device support enhancement".
-The SYM53C810A uses 1 Interrupt and must be able of mastering the PCI bus.
-Added files:
-- common/cmd_scsi.c
-- common/board.c
-- include/cmd_scsi.h
-- include/scsi.h
-- board/pip405/sym53c8xx.c
-- board/pip405/sym53c8xx_defs.h
-
-ATAPI support (IDE changes):
-----------------------------
-Added ATAPI support (with CONFIG_ATAPI) in the file cmd_ide.c.
-To support a hardreset, when the IDE reset pin is not connected to the
-CONFIG_SYS_PC_IDE_RESET pin, the switch CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE has been added. When
-this switch is enabled the routine void ide_set_reset(int idereset) must be
-within the board specific files.
-Only read from ATAPI devices are supported.
-Found out that the function trim_trail cuts off the last character if the whole
-string is filled. Added function cpy_ident instead, which trims also leading
-spaces and copies the string in the buffer.
-Changed files:
-- common/cmd_ide.c
-- include/ata.h
-
-ISO partition support:
-----------------------
-Added CD boot support for El-Torito bootable ISO CDs. The bootfile image must contain
-the U-Boot image header. Since CDs do not have "partitions", the boot partition is 0.
-The bootcatalog feature has not been tested so far. CD Boot is supported for ATAPI
-("diskboot") and SCSI ("scsiboot") devices.
-Added files:
-- disk/iso_part.c
-- disk/iso_part.h
-
-Block device changes:
----------------------
-To allow the use of dos_part.c, mac_part.c and iso_part.c, the parameter
-block_dev_desc will be used when accessing the functions in these files. The block
-device descriptor (block_dev_desc) contains a pointer to the read routine of the
-device, which will be used to read blocks from the device.
-Renamed function ide_print to dev_print and moved it to the file disk/part.c to use
-it for IDE ATAPI and SCSI devices.
-Please refer to the section "Todo" chapter "block device support enhancement".
-Added files:
-- include/part.h
-changed files:
-- disk/dos_part.c
-- disk/dos_part.h
-- disk/mac_part.c
-- disk/mac_part.h
-- disk/part.c
-- common/cmd_ide.c
-- include/u-boot.h
-
-
-MC146818 RTC support:
----------------------
-Added support for MC146818 RTC with defining CONFIG_RTC_MC146818. The ISA bus IO
-base address must be defined with CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_BASE_ADDRESS.
-Added files:
-- rtc/mc146818.c
-
-Standard ISA bus Keyboard support:
-----------------------------------
-Added support for the standard PC kyeboard controller. For the PIP405 the superIO
-controller must be set up previously. The keyboard uses the standard ISA IRQ, so
-the ISA PIC must also be set up.
-Added files:
-- board/pip405/kbd.c
-- board/pip405/kbd.h
-- board/pip405/pip405_isa.c
-- board/pip405/pip405_isa.h
-
-Chips and Technologie 69000 VGA controller support:
----------------------------------------------------
-Added support for the CT69000 VGA controller.
-Added files:
-- board/pip405/video.c
-- board/pip405/video.h
-- board/pip405/vga_table.h
-
-
-Changed Items:
-==============
-
-Identify:
----------
-Added the config variable CONFIG_IDENT_STRING which will be added to the
-"U_BOOT_VERSION __TIME__ DATE___ " String, to allows to identify intermidiate
-and custom versions.
-Changed files:
-- arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/start.s
-
-Firmware Image:
----------------
-Added IH_OS_U_BOOT and IH_TYPE_FIRMWARE to the image definitions to allows the
-U-Boot update with prior CRC check.
-Changed files:
-- include/image.h
-- tools/mkimage.c
-- common/cmd_bootm.c
-
-Correct PCI Frequency for PPC405:
----------------------------------
-Added function (in arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/speed.c) to get the PCI frequency for PPC405 CPU.
-The PCI Frequency will now be set correct in the board description in common/board.c.
-(was set to the busfreq before).
-Changed files:
-- arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/speed.c
-- common/board.c
-
-I2C Stuff:
-----------
-Added defined(CONFIG_PIP405) at several points in common/cmd_i2c.c.
-Added 16bit read/write support for I2C (PPC405), and page write to
-I2C EEPROM if defined CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_ENABLE.
-Changed files:
-- arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/i2c.c
-- common/cmd_i2c.c
-
-Environment / Console:
-----------------------
-Although in README.console described, the U-Boot has not assinged the values
-found in the environment to the console. Corrected this behavior, but only if
-CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV is defined.
-If CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE is defined, console_overwrite() decides if the
-values stored in the environment or the standard serial in/output should be
-assigned to the console. This is useful if the environment values are not correct.
-If CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE is defined the devices assigned to the console at
-start-up time will be written to the environment. This means that if the
-environment values are overwritten by the overwrite_console() routine, they will be
-stored in the environment.
-Changed files:
-- common/console.c
-
-Correct bootdelay intepretation:
---------------------------------
-Changed bootdelay read from the environment from simple_strtoul (unsigned) to
-simple_strtol (signed), to be able to get a bootdelay of -1.
-Changed files:
-- common/main.c
-
-Todo:
-=====
-
-Block device support enhancement:
----------------------------------
-Consider to unify the block device handling. Instead of using diskboot for IDE,
-scsiboot for SCSI and fdcboot for floppy disks, it would make sense to use only
-one command ("devboot" ???) with a parameter of the desired device ("hda1", "sda1",
-"fd0" ???) to boot from. The other ide commands can be handled in the same way
-("dev hda read.." instead of "ide read.." or "dev sda read.." instead of
-"scsi read..."). Todo this, a common way of assign a block device to its name
-(first found ide device = hda, second found hdb etc., or hda is device 0 on bus 0,
-hdb is device 1 on bus 0 etc.) as well as the names (hdx for ide, sdx for scsi, fx for
-floppy ???) must be defined.
-Maybe there are better ideas to do this.
-
-Console assingment:
--------------------
-Consider to initialize and assign the console stdin, stdout and stderr as soon as
-possible to see the boot messages also on an other console than serial.
-
-
-Todo for PIP405:
-================
-
-LCD support for VGA:
---------------------
-Add LCD support for the CT69000
-
-Default environment:
---------------------
-Consider to write a default environment to the OTP part of the EEPROM and use it
-if the normal environment is not valid. Useful for serial# and ethaddr values.
-
-Watchdog:
----------
-Implement Watchdog.
-
-Files clean-up:
----------------
-Following files needs to be cleaned up:
-- cmd_pip405.c
-- flash.c
-- pci_pip405.c
-- pip405.c
-- pip405_isa.c
-Consider to split up the files in their functions.
