2Summary
3=======
4
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.
9
10Currently the following boards are supported:
11
12* OMAP3530 BeagleBoard [2]
13
14* Gumstix Overo [3]
15
16* TI EVM [4]
17
18* OpenPandora Ltd. Pandora [5]
19
20* TI/Logic PD Zoom MDK [6]
21
22Toolchain
23=========
24
25While ARM Cortex-A8 support ARM v7 instruction set (-march=armv7a) we compile
26with -march=armv5 to allow more compilers to work. For U-Boot code this has
27no performance impact.

57Custom commands
58===============
59
60To make U-Boot for OMAP3 support NAND device SW or HW ECC calculation, U-Boot
61for OMAP3 supports custom user command
62
63nandecc hw/sw
64
65To be compatible with NAND drivers using SW ECC (e.g. kernel code)
66
67nandecc sw
68
69enables SW ECC calculation. HW ECC enabled with
70
71nandecc hw
72
73is typically used to write 2nd stage bootloader (known as 'x-loader') which is
74executed by OMAP3's boot rom and therefore has to be written with HW ECC.
