8			MCF5282 implementation without preloader

10====================================================================

12This file contains status information for the port of U-Boot to the
13Motorola M68K series of CPUs.

151. OVERVIEW
16-----------
17Bernhard Kuhn ported U-Boot 0.4.0 to the Motorola Coldfire
18architecture. The patches of Bernhard support the MCF5272 and
19MCF5282. A great disadvantage of these patches was that they needed
20a pre-bootloader to start u-boot. Because of this, a new port was
21created which no longer needs a first stage booter.
22
23Although this port is intended to cover all M68k processors, only
24the parts for the Motorola Coldfire MCF5272 and MCF5282 are
25implemented at the moment. Additional CPUs and boards will be
26hopefully added soon!

292. SUPPORTED CPUs
30-----------------
31
322.1 Motorola Coldfire MCF5272
33-----------------------------
34CPU specific code is located in: arch/m68k/cpu/mcf52x2
35
36
372.1 Motorola Coldfire MCF5282
38-----------------------------
39CPU specific code is located in: arch/m68k/cpu/mcf52x2
40
41The MCF5282 Port no longer needs a preloader and can place in external or
42internal FLASH.
43
44
453. SUPPORTED BOARDs
46-------------------
47
483.1 Motorola M5272C3 EVB
49------------------------
50Board specific code is located in: board/m5272c3
51
52To configure the board, type: make M5272C3_config
53
54U-Boot Memory Map:
55------------------
560xffe00000 - 0xffe3ffff		u-boot
570xffe04000 - 0xffe05fff		environment (embedded in u-boot!)
580xffe40000 - 0xffffffff		free for linux/applications
59
60
613.2 Motorola M5282 EVB
62------------------------
63Board specific code is located in: board/m5282evb
64
65To configure the board, type: make M5272C3_config
66
67At the moment the code isn't fully implemented and still needs a pre-loader!
68The preloader must initialize the processor and then start u-boot. The board
69must be configured for a pre-loader (see 4.1)
70
71For the preloader, please see
72http://mailman.uclinux.org/pipermail/uclinux-dev/2003-December/023384.html
73
74U-boot is configured to run at 0x20000 at default. This can be configured by
75change CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE in board/m5282evb/config.mk and CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE in
76include/configs/M5282EVB.h.
77
783.2 BuS EB+MCF-EV123
79---------------------
80
81Board specific code is located in: board/bus/EB+MCF-EV123
82
83To configure the board, type:
84
85make EB+MCF-EV123_config		for external FLASH
86make EB+MCF-EV123_internal_config	for internal FLASH
87
88
894. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS/SETTINGS
90----------------------------------
91
924.1 Configuration to use a pre-loader
93-------------------------------------
94If u-boot should be loaded to RAM and started by a pre-loader
95CONFIG_MONITOR_IS_IN_RAM must be defined. If it is defined the
96initial vector table and basic processor initialization will not
97be compiled in. The start address of u-boot must be adjusted in
98the boards config header file (CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE) and Makefile
99(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) to the load address.

1635. COMPILER
164-----------
165To create U-Boot the gcc-2.95.3 compiler set (m68k-elf-20030314) from uClinux.org was used.
166You can download it from: http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/m68k-elf-tools/
