SUBJECT: [PPCBoot-users] Halloween release of PPCBoot: 2.0.0 - the Final Release. A new version of PPCBoot, labeled as PPCBOOT_2_0_0, is available on
the CVS and FTP servers.
Changes:
- mostly bug fixes
This release is special:
It is the last, ultimate, final release of PPCBoot!
The PPCBoot project will not be continued any more.
But: Don't Panic!
Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!
Over time, the name PPCBoot has become inappropriate: there was a
time when all we supported was the MPC8xx CPU. Later support for
other PowerPC CPUs was added. And the name PPCBoot was OK. But this
is not true any more. Now there is also support for ARM7, ARM9,
StrongARM and XScale based boards. Ports for the ColdFire and even
for x86 CPUs are in the planning or already under way. Thus it's time
to acknowledge that this project has become a universal bootloader -
we will continue development under the new flag
"Das U-Boot" - the Universal Boot Loader
The new project is again hosted at SourceForge, you can find it at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot/
There is also a new mailing list: u-boot-users
If you're still interested in this stuff, consider switching to
U-Boot and the U-Boot mailing list. With the current version 2.0.0
the PPCBoot code will be frozen; I do not intend to even add bug
fixes any more.
The new CVS for U-Boot should be available in a couple of days.
More news on the U-Boot user's list.
Now back to the old stuff:
======================================================================
Modifications for 2.0.0:
======================================================================
* Fix TFTP problems introduced with multiple network interface code
(tight loop when trying to load non-existent file, etc.)
* Fix delay problem in modem support code;
fix HW handshake problem on TRAB
* Implement a real reset (based on a watchdog reset) for s3c2400
based systems (SMDK2400, TRAB).
* Fix ramdisk problem on ARM: it would try to copy the image onto
itself, which in some cases caused corruption of the flash contents
* Patch by Guillaume Alexandre, 31 Oct 2002:
- add support of the dd2 version of the IBM CPC710 (Avignon) chip
- fix a bus parking problem (system hang)
- fix i2c eeprom erasure problem
* Shuffle init sequence: do PCMCIA/IDE init after the watchdog POST
so thatit's done only once during normal startup (saves some secs
when booting on LWMON)
* Fix yet another reference to flash code after relocation
* Patch by Mark Rakes, 29 Oct 2002:
- Support for Natsemi dp83815 (natsemi.c)
- Support for Natsemi dp83820/83821 (ns8382x.c)
* Patch by Robert Schwebel, 27 Oct 2002:
XScale / csb226 updates (WIP)
* ARM: Do not include BSS segment in the calculation of the size of
the write-protected part of the flash memory.
* Allow printing of image timestamps even when no RTC support is
available (option CONFIG_TIMESTAMP); fix byteorder problems in
timestamp code.
* Patch by David M�ller, 12 Oct 2002:
- common/cmd_i2c.c
endian problem on ARM platform fixed (Not sure if i found all)
- cpu/arm920t/Makefile
- cpu/arm920t/speed.c
provide interface to "clock maschine" of S3C24xx chips
- cpu/arm920t/interrupts.c
make use of new "clocks" interface to simpifiy things
- cpu/arm920t/serial.c
make use of new "clocks" interface to simplifiy things
- lib_arm/board.c
move interrupt_init() up in table so udelay() is available
in env_init()
- include/common.h
added "noreturn" attribute to hang() -> fixes compiler warning
added prototypes for functions defined in cpu/arm920t/speed.c
- include/configs/smdk2400.h
- include/configs/smdk2410.h
- include/configs/trab.h
added CONFIG_PLL_INPUT_FREQ value used by cpu/arm920t/speed.c
