1Summary

4This README is about U-Boot support for TI's ARM 926EJS based family of SoCs.
5These SOCs are used for cameras, video security and surveillance, DVR's, etc.
6DaVinci SOC's comprise of DM644x, DM646x, DM35x and DM36x series of SOC's
7Additionally there are some SOCs meant for the audio market which though have
8an OMAP part number are very similar to the DaVinci series of SOC's
9Additionally, some family members contain a TI DSP and/or graphics
10co processors along with a host of other peripherals.

87Bootloaders
88===============
89
90The DaVinci SOC's use 2 bootloaders. The low level initialization
91is done by a UBL(user boot loader). The UBL is written to a NAND/NOR/SPI flash
92by a programmer. During initial bootup, the ROM Bootloader reads the UBL
93from a storage device and loads it into the IRAM. The UBL then loads the U-Boot
94into the RAM.
95The programmers and UBL are always released as part of any standard TI
96software release associated with an SOC.
97
98Environment Variables
99=====================
100
101The DA850 EVM allows the user to specify the maximum cpu clock allowed by the
102silicon, in Hz, via an environment variable "maxcpuclk".
103
104The maximum clock rate allowed depends on the silicon populated on the EVM.
105Please make sure you understand the restrictions placed on this clock in the
106device specific datasheet before setting up this variable. This information is
107passed to the Linux kernel using the ATAG_REVISION atag.
108
109If "maxcpuclk" is not defined, the configuration CONFIG_DA850_EVM_MAX_CPU_CLK
110is used to obtain this information.

143Davinci special defines
144=======================
145
146CONFIG_SYS_DV_NOR_BOOT_CFG:	AM18xx based boards, booting in NOR Boot mode
147				need a "NOR Boot Configuration Word" stored
148				in the NOR Flash. This define adds this.
