2Summary

5This README is about U-Boot support for TI's ARM Cortex-A8 based OMAP3 [1]
6family of SoCs. TI's OMAP3 SoC family contains an ARM Cortex-A8. Additionally,
7some family members contain a TMS320C64x+ DSP and/or an Imagination SGX 2D/3D
8graphics processor and various other standard peripherals.

65Custom commands
66===============
67
68To make U-Boot for OMAP3 support NAND device SW or HW ECC calculation, U-Boot
69for OMAP3 supports custom user command
70
71nandecc hw/sw
72
73To be compatible with NAND drivers using SW ECC (e.g. kernel code)
74
75nandecc sw
76
77enables SW ECC calculation. HW ECC enabled with
78
79nandecc hw
80
81is typically used to write 2nd stage bootloader (known as 'x-loader') which is
82executed by OMAP3's boot rom and therefore has to be written with HW ECC.

91gpio
92----
93
94To set a bit :
95
96	if (!gpio_request(N, "")) {
97		gpio_direction_output(N, 0);
98		gpio_set_value(N, 1);
99	}
100
101To clear a bit :
102
103	if (!gpio_request(N, "")) {
104		gpio_direction_output(N, 0);
105		gpio_set_value(N, 0);
106	}
107
108To read a bit :
109
110	if (!gpio_request(N, "")) {
111		gpio_direction_input(N);
112		val = gpio_get_value(N);
113		gpio_free(N);
114	}
115	if (val)
116		printf("GPIO N is set\n");
117	else
118		printf("GPIO N is clear\n");

120dma
121---
122void omap3_dma_init(void)
123	Init the DMA module
124int omap3_dma_get_conf_chan(uint32_t chan, struct dma4_chan *config);
125	Read config of the channel
126int omap3_dma_conf_chan(uint32_t chan, struct dma4_chan *config);
127	Write config to the channel
128int omap3_dma_conf_transfer(uint32_t chan, uint32_t *src, uint32_t *dst,
129		uint32_t sze)
130	Config source, destination and size of a transfer
131int omap3_dma_wait_for_transfer(uint32_t chan)
132	Wait for a transfer to end - this hast to be called before a channel
133	or the data the channel transferd are used.
134int omap3_dma_get_revision(uint32_t *minor, uint32_t *major)
135	Read silicon Revision of the DMA module
136
137NAND
138====
139
140There are some OMAP3 devices out there with NAND attached. Due to the fact that
141OMAP3 ROM code can only handle 1-bit hamming ECC for accessing first page
142(place where SPL lives) we require this setup for u-boot at least when reading
143the second progam within SPL.  A lot of newer NAND chips however require more
144than 1-bit ECC for the pages, some can live with 1-bit for the first page. To
145handle this we can switch to another ECC algorithm after reading the payload
146within SPL.
147
148BCH8
149----
150
151To enable hardware assisted BCH8 (8-bit BCH [Bose, Chaudhuri, Hocquenghem]) on
152OMAP3 devices we can use the BCH library in lib/bch.c. To do so add CONFIG_BCH
153and set CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME=5 (refer README.nand) for selecting BCH8_SW.
154The NAND OOB layout is the same as in linux kernel, if the linux kernel BCH8
155implementation for OMAP3 works for you so the u-boot version should also.
156When you require the SPL to read with BCH8 there are two more configs to
157change:
158
159 * CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS (must be the same as .eccpos in
160   GPMC_NAND_HW_BCH8_ECC_LAYOUT defined in
161   arch/arm/include/asm/arch-omap3/omap_gpmc.h)
162 * CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE must be 512
163 * CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES must be 13 for this BCH8 setup
