[U-Boot-Users] [Patch] Support for AMD db1550 board

[U-Boot-Users] [Patch] Support for AMD db1550 board

[Leif Lindholm]

Hi

This patch adds support for the AMD db1550 board to u-boot.
It is implemented as a flavor of the au1x00 family.
Since I have not tested the pcmcia/ide stuff, this board has
CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND and CONFIG_COMMANDS ifdef:d to different values than
the rest of the boards in the family.

Also, the memory setup differs a bit from earlier boards, due to this
board being equipped with DDR SDRAM. This has lead to quite a large
memsetup.S (heavily ifdef:d).
It also includes some code taken from AMD:s version of YAMON for this
board (with their permission), for enabling cache and doing some
preloads before reconfiguring the flash controller to correct values.
This precaution may be a good idea on the other boards as well, but
since I have not tested it on them, this part is ifdef:d
CONFIG_DBAU1550.

I have included the "new" version of mkconfig, which now accepts a "$6"
specifying endianess.
This software is only tested in little endian mode.

This patch also contains some minor changes allowing for setting CPU
clock frequency in only one place (instead of three) and calculating the
correct divisor for the uart based on this.

regards

I tried to add it, but ran into a few problems so had to  leave  some
parts out.

This conflicts with  current  versions  of  the  "mkconfig"  command,
please check and resubmit.

> This software is only tested in little endian mode.

Unfortunately, the file board/dbau1x00/u-boot-el.lds was  missing  in
your patch. Please resubmit.

Finally, there were conflicts in cpu/mips/config.mk;
please check and resubmit.


Please don't forget to include a CHANGELOG entry next time.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

I had been using Leif's patch as a basis for a board we are working on and
ran into the same issues applying it to CVS.  (Thanks for the patch Leif!)
What's below is offered up as a suggestion.

Here's what I did to fix it:

1) in the master Makefile I added a line to put ENDIANESS
into the master config.mk

2) I changed the u-boot.lds file so that it can be used to produce
a little endian file when used by a linker in little endian mode (no
need to add a new linker file as far as I know)

3) changed the mips config.mk to look at ENDIANESS to set the
-EL or -EB flags.

4) Similar changes under examples to match this scheme.

Some patch segments are below to clarify what I mean.
