* sbc8548: enable support for hardware SPD errata workaroundPaul Gortmaker2012-01-11-2/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Existing boards by default have an issue where the LBC SDRAM SPD EEPROM and the DDR2 SDRAM SPD EEPROM both land at 0x51. After the hardware modification listed in the README is made, then the DDR2 SPD EEPROM appears at 0x53. So this implements a board specific get_spd() by taking advantage of the existing weak linkage, that 1st tries reading at 0x53 and then if that fails, it falls back to the old 0x51. Since the old dependency issue of "SPD implies no LBC SDRAM" gets removed with the hardware errata fix, remove that restriction in the code, so both LBC SDRAM and SPD can be selected.

* sbc8548: Make enabling SPD RAM configuration workPaul Gortmaker2012-01-11-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, SPD configuration of RAM was non functional on this board. Now that the root cause is known (an i2c address conflict), there is a simple end-user workaround - remove the old slower local bus 128MB module and then SPD detection on the main DDR2 memory module works fine. We make the enablement of the LBC SDRAM support conditional on being not SPD enabled. We can revisit this dependency as the hardware workaround becomes available. Turning off LBC SDRAM support revealed a couple implict dependencies in the tlb/law code that always expected an LBC SDRAM address. This has been tested with the default 256MB module, a 512MB a 1GB and a 2GB, of varying speeds, and the SPD autoconfiguration worked fine in all cases. The default configuration remains to go with the hard coded DDR config, so the default build will continue to work on boards where people don't bother to read the docs. But the advantage of going to the SPD config is that even the small default module gets configured for CL3 instead of CL4.

* sbc8548: enable ability to boot from alternate flashPaul Gortmaker2012-01-11-4/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This board has an 8MB soldered on flash, and a 64MB SODIMM flash module. Normally the board boots from the 8MB flash, but the hardware can be configured for booting from the 64MB flash as well by swapping CS0 and CS6. This can be handy for recovery purposes, or for supporting u-boot and VxBoot at the same time. To support this in u-boot, we need to have different BR0/OR0 and BR6/OR6 settings in place for when the board is configured in this way, and a different TEXT_BASE needs to be used due to the larger sector size of the 64MB flash module. We introduce the suffix _8M and _64M for the BR0/BR6 and the OR0/OR6 values so it is clear which is being used to map what specific device. The larger sector size (512k) of the alternate flash needs a larger malloc pool, otherwise you'll get failures when running saveenv, so bump it up accordingly.

* sbc8548: relocate 64MB user flash to sane boundaryPaul Gortmaker2012-01-11-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current situation has the 64MB user flash at an awkward alignment; shifted back from 0xfc00_0000 by 8M, to leave an 8MB hole for the soldered on boot flash @ EOM. But to switch to optionally supporting booting off the 64MB flash, the 64MB will then be mapped at the sane address of 0xfc00_0000. This leads to awkward things when programming the 64MB flash prior to transitioning to it -- i.e. even though the chip spans from 0xfb80_0000 to 0xff7f_ffff, you would have to program a u-boot image into the two sectors from 0xfbf0_0000 --> 0xfbff_ffff so that it was in the right place when JP12/SW2.8 were switched to make the 64MB on /CS0. (i.e. the chip is only looking at the bits in mask 0x3ff_ffff) We also have to have three TLB entries responsible for dealing with mapping the 64MB flash due to this 8MB of misalignment. In the end, there is address space from 0xec00_0000 to 0xefff_ffff where we can map it, and then the transition from booting from one config to the other will be a simple 0xec --> 0xfc mapping. Plus we can toss out a TLB entry. Note that TLB0 is kept at 64MB and not shrunk down to the 8MB boot flash; this means we won't have to change it when the alternate config uses the full 64MB for booting, in TLB0.

* sbc8548: reclaim wasted sector in boot flashPaul Gortmaker2009-09-30-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By nature of being based off the MPC8548CDS board, this board inherited an ENV_SIZE setting of 256k. But since it has a smaller flash device (8MB soldered on), it has a native sector size of 128k, and hence the ENV_SIZE was causing 2 sectors to be used for the environment. By removing the unused sector, we can push TEXT_BASE up closer to the end of address space and reclaim that sector for any other application. This also fixes the mismatch between TEXT_BASE and MONITOR_LEN reported by Kumar earlier. Since this board also supports the ability to boot off the 64MB SODIMM flash, this change is forward looking with that in mind; i.e. the settings for MONITOR_LEN and ENV_SIZE will work when the 512k sectors of the SODIMM flash are used for alternate boot in the future.

* sbc8548: replace README with completely new documentPaul Gortmaker2009-09-24-20/+169
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous README.sbc8548 was pretty much content-free. Replace it with something that actually gives the end user some relevant hardware details, and also lists the u-boot configuration choices. Also in the cosmetic department, fix the bogus line in the Makefile that was carried over from the SBC8560 Makefile, and the typo in the sbc8548.c copyright.
