  1. Summary
  2. =======
  3. This README is about U-Boot support for TI's ARM Cortex-A8 based OMAP3 [1]
  4. family of SoCs. TI's OMAP3 SoC family contains an ARM Cortex-A8. Additionally,
  5. some family members contain a TMS320C64x+ DSP and/or an Imagination SGX 2D/3D
  6. graphics processor and various other standard peripherals.
  7. Currently the following boards are supported:
  8. * OMAP3530 BeagleBoard [2]
  9. * Gumstix Overo [3]
  10. * TI EVM [4]
  11. Toolchain
  12. =========
  13. While ARM Cortex-A8 support ARM v7 instruction set (-march=armv7a) we compile
  14. with -march=armv5 to allow more compilers to work. For U-Boot code this has
  15. no performance impact.
  16. Build
  17. =====
  18. * BeagleBoard:
  19. make omap3_beagle_config
  20. make
  21. * Gumstix Overo:
  22. make omap3_overo_config
  23. make
  24. * TI EVM:
  25. make omap3_evm_config
  26. make
  27. Custom commands
  28. ===============
  29. To make U-Boot for OMAP3 support NAND device SW or HW ECC calculation, U-Boot
  30. for OMAP3 supports custom user command
  31. nandecc hw/sw
  32. To be compatible with NAND drivers using SW ECC (e.g. kernel code)
  33. nandecc sw
  34. enables SW ECC calculation. HW ECC enabled with
  35. nandecc hw
  36. is typically used to write 2nd stage bootloader (known as 'x-loader') which is
  37. executed by OMAP3's boot rom and therefore has to be written with HW ECC.
  38. For all other commands see
  39. help
  40. Acknowledgements
  41. ================
  42. OMAP3 U-Boot is based on U-Boot tar ball [5] for BeagleBoard and EVM done by
  43. several TI employees.
