the bus modes, a new configuration +option (CONFIG_BUSMODE_60x) has been added to the "config_TQM8260.h" +file. If it is defined, BCR will be configured for the 60x mode, +otherwise - for the 8260 mode. + +Concerning the SIUMCR modification: it's hard to predict whether it +will induce any problems on the other (60x mode) board. However, the +problems (if they appear) should be easy to notice - if the board +does not boot, it's most likely caused by the DPPC configuration in +SIUMCR. diff --git a/doc/README.bedbug b/doc/README.bedbug new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..ed7bc122ca7 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/README.bedbug @@ -0,0 +1,89 @@ +BEDBUG Support for U-Boot +-------------------------- + +These changes implement the bedbug (emBEDded deBUGger) debugger in U-Boot. +A specific implementation is made for the IBM405 processor but other flavors +can be easily implemented. + +##################### +### Modifications ### +##################### + +./common/Makefile + Included cmd_bedbug.c and bedbug.c in the Makefile. + +./common/command.c + Added bedbug commands to command table. + +./common/board.c + Added call to initialize debugger on startup. + +./cpu/ppc4xx/Makefile + Added bedbug_405.c to the Makefile. + +./cpu/ppc4xx/start.S + Added code to handle the debug exception (0x2000) on the 405. + Also added code to handle critical exceptions since the debug + is treated as critical on the 405. + +./cpu/ppc4xx/traps.c + Added more detailed output for the program exception to tell + if it is an illegal instruction, privileged instruction or + a trap.

This may cause to crash the OS during boot. So the USB +_MUST_ be stopped during OS boot. This is the reason, why the USB is +NOT automatically started during start-up. If someone needs the USB +he has to start it and should therefore be aware that he had to stop +it before booting the OS. + +For USB keyboards this can be done by a script which is automatically +started after the U-Boot is up and running. To boot an OS with a an +USB keyboard another script is necessary, which first disables the +USB and then executes the boot command. If the boot command fails, +the script can reenable the USB kbd. + +Common USB Commands: +- usb start: +- usb reset: (re)starts the USB. All USB devices will be + initialized and a device tree is build for them. +- usb tree: shows all USB devices in a tree like display +- usb info [dev]: shows all USB infos of the device dev, or of all + the devices +- usb stop [f]: stops the USB. If f==1 the USB will also stop if + an USB keyboard is assigned as stdin. The stdin + is then switched to serial input. +Storage USB Commands: +- usb scan: scans the USB for storage devices.The USB must be + running for this command (usb start) +- usb device [dev]: show or set current USB staorage device +- usb part [dev]: print partition table of one or all USB storage + devices +- usb read addr blk# cnt: + read `cnt' blocks starting at block `blk#'to + memory address `addr' +- usbboot addr dev:part: + boot from USB device + +Config Switches: +---------------- +CFG_CMD_USB enables basic USB support and the usb command +CONFIG_USB_UHCI defines the lowlevel part.A lowlevel part must be defined if + using CFG_CMD_USB +CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD enables the USB Keyboard +CONFIG_USB_STORAGE enables the USB storage devices |
