These functions may be faster under some conditions but may increase the binary size. +Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: +----------------------------------- + +The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the +loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. +This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros +are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address +within that device. + +- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR + The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The + meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro + is also specified. + +- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH + The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format + has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it + might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some + local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. + +- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR + Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as + normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the + virtual address in NOR flash. + +- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND + Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. + CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. + +- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC + Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC + device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. + +- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH + Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI + device.
