+Intro:
+======
+
+The SBC8548 is a stand alone single board computer with a 1GHz
+MPC8548 CPU, 8MB boot flash, 64MB user flash and, 256MB DDR2 400MHz
+memory. It also has 128MB SDRAM 100MHz LBC memory, with both a PCI-e,
+and a PCI-X slot, dual mini-DB9 for UART, and dual RJ-45 for eTSEC
+ethernet connections.
+
+U-boot Configuration:
+=====================
+
+The following possible u-boot configuration targets are available:
+
+ 1) sbc8548_config
+ 2) sbc8548_PCI_33_config
+ 3) sbc8548_PCI_66_config
+ 4) sbc8548_PCI_33_PCIE_config
+ 5) sbc8548_PCI_66_PCIE_config
+
+Generally speaking, most people should choose to use #5. Details
+of each choice are listed below.
+
+Choice #1 does not enable CONFIG_PCI, and assumes that the PCI slot
+will be left empty (M66EN high), and so the board will operate with
+a base clock of 66MHz. Note that you need both PCI enabled in u-boot
+and linux in order to have functional PCI under linux.
+
+The second enables PCI support and builds for a 33MHz clock rate. Note
+that if a 33MHz 32bit card is inserted in the slot, then the whole board
+will clock down to a 33MHz base clock instead of the default 66MHz. This
+will change the baud clocks and mess up your serial console output if you
+were previously running at 66MHz. If you want to use a 33MHz PCI card,
+then you should build a U-Boot with a _PCI_33_ config and store this
+to flash prior to powering down the board and inserting the 33MHz PCI
+card. [The above discussion assumes that the SW2[1-4] has not been changed
+to reflect a different CCB:SYSCLK ratio]
+
+The third option builds PCI support in, and leaves the clocking at the
+default 66MHz. Options four and five are just repeats of option two
+and three, but with PCI-e support enabled as well.
+
+PCI output listing with an intel e1000 PCI-x and a Syskonnect SK-9Exx
+is shown below for sbc8548_PCI_66_PCIE_config. (Note that PCI-e with
+a 33MHz PCI configuration is currently untested.)

+
+Memory Size and using SPD:
+==========================
+
+The default configuration uses hard coded memory configuration settings
+for 256MB of DDR2 @400MHz. It does not by default use the DDR2 SPD
+EEPROM data to read what memory is installed.
+
+There is a hardware errata, which causes the older local bus SDRAM
+SPD EEPROM to land at the same address as the DDR2 SPD EEPROM, so
+that the SPD data can not be read reliably. You can test if your
+board has the errata fix by running "i2c probe". If you see 0x53
+as a valid device, it has been fixed. If you only see 0x50, 0x51
+then your board does not have the fix.
+
+You can also visually inspect the board to see if this hardware
+fix has been applied:
+
+ 1) Remove R314 (RES-R0174-033, 1K, 0603). R314 is located on
+ the back of the PCB behind the DDR SDRAM SODIMM connector.
+ 2) Solder RES-R0174-033 (1K, 0603) resistor from R314 pin 2 pad
+ to R313 pin 2. Pin 2 for each resistor is the end of the
+ resistor closest to the CPU.
+
+Boards without the mod will have R314 and R313 in parallel, like "||".
+After the mod, they will be touching and form an "L" shape.
+
+If you want to upgrade to larger RAM size, you can simply enable
+ #define CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
+ #define CONFIG_DDR_SPD
+in include/configs/sbc8548.h file. (The lines are already there
+but listed as #undef).
+
+If you did the i2c test, and your board does not have the errata
+fix, then you will have to physically remove the LBC 128MB DIMM
+from the board's socket to resolve the above i2c address overlap
+issue and allow SPD autodetection of RAM to work.
+
+
+Updating U-boot with U-boot:
+============================
+
+Note that versions of u-boot up to and including 2009.08 had u-boot stored
+at 0xfff8_0000 -> 0xffff_ffff (512k). Currently it is being stored from
+0xfffa_0000 -> 0xffff_ffff (384k). If you use an old macro/script to
+update u-boot with u-boot and it uses the old address, you will render
+your board inoperable, and you will require JTAG recovery.
+
+The following steps list how to update with the current address:
+
+ tftp u-boot.bin
+ md 200000 10
+ protect off all
+ erase fffa0000 ffffffff
+ cp.b 200000 fffa0000 60000
+ md fffa0000 10
+ protect on all
+
+The "md" steps in the above are just a precautionary step that allow
+you to confirm the u-boot version that was downloaded, and then confirm
+that it was copied to flash.
+
+The above assumes that you are using the default board settings which
+have u-boot in the 8MB flash, tied to /CS0.
+
+If you are running the default 8MB /CS0 settings but want to store an
+image in the SODIMM that is built with CONFIG_SYS_ALT_BOOT enabled,
+(as a backup, etc) then the steps will become:
+
+ tftp u-boot.bin
+ md 200000 10
+ protect off all
+ era eff00000 efffffff
+ cp.b 200000 eff00000 100000
+ md eff00000 10
+ protect on all
+
+Finally, if you are running the alternate 64MB /CS0 settings and want
+to update the in-use u-boot image, then (again with CONFIG_SYS_ALT_BOOT
+enabled) the steps will become:
+
+ tftp u-boot.bin
+ md 200000 10
+ protect off all
+ era fff00000 ffffffff
+ cp.b 200000 fff00000 100000
+ md fff00000 10
+ protect on all
+
+
+Hardware Reference:
+===================
+
+The following contains some summary information on hardware settings
+that are relevant to u-boot, based on the board manual. For the
+most up to date and complete details of the board, please request the
+reference manual ERG-00327-001.pdf from www.windriver.com
+
+Boot flash:
+ intel V28F640Jx, 8192x8 (one device) at 0xff80_0000
+
+Sodimm flash:
+ intel V28F128Jx, 16384x8 (4 devices) at 0xfb80_0000
+ Note that this address reflects the default setting for
+ the JTAG debugging tools, but since the alignment is
+ rather inconvenient, u-boot puts it at 0xec00_0000.
