This file contains status information for the port of U-Boot to the
-Motorola M68K series of CPUs.
+Motorola ColdFire series of CPUs.
+
+
+1. Overview
-1. OVERVIEW
------------
-Bernhard Kuhn ported U-Boot 0.4.0 to the Motorola Coldfire
-architecture. The patches of Bernhard support the MCF5272 and
-MCF5282. A great disadvantage of these patches was that they needed
-a pre-bootloader to start U-Boot. Because of this, a new port was
-created which no longer needs a first stage booter.
+The ColdFire instruction set is "assembly source" compatible but an evolution
+of the original 68000 instruction set. Some not much used instructions has
+been removed. The instructions are only 16, 32, or 48 bits long, a
+simplification compared to the 68000 series.
-Although this port is intended to cover all M68k processors, only
-the parts for the Motorola Coldfire MCF5272 and MCF5282 are
-implemented at the moment. Additional CPUs and boards will be
-hopefully added soon!

+Thanks mainly to Freescale but also to several other contributors, U-Boot now
+supports nearly the entire range of ColdFire processors and their related
+development boards.
-2. SUPPORTED CPUs
------------------
-2.1 Motorola Coldfire MCF5272
------------------------------
-CPU specific code is located in: arch/m68k/cpu/mcf52x2
+2. Supported CPU families
+Please "make menuconfig" with ARCH=m68k, or check arch/m68k/cpu to see the
+currently supported processor and families.
-2.1 Motorola Coldfire MCF5282
------------------------------
-CPU specific code is located in: arch/m68k/cpu/mcf52x2
-The MCF5282 Port no longer needs a preloader and can place in external or
-internal FLASH.
+3. Supported boards
+U-Boot supports actually more than 40 ColdFire based boards.
+Board configuration can be done trough include/configs/<boardname>.h but the
+current recommended method is to use the new and more friendly approach as
+the "make menuconfig" way, very similar to the Linux way.
-3. SUPPORTED BOARDs
--------------------
+To know details as memory map, build targets, default setup, etc, of a
+specific board please check:
-3.1 Motorola M5272C3 EVB
-------------------------
-Board specific code is located in: board/m5272c3
+include/configs/<boardname>.h
+and/or
+configs/<boardname>_defconfig
-To configure the board, type: make M5272C3_config
+It is possible to build all ColdFire boards in a single command-line command,
+from u-boot root directory, as:
-U-Boot Memory Map:
-------------------
-0xffe00000 - 0xffe3ffff U-Boot
-0xffe04000 - 0xffe05fff environment (embedded in U-Boot!)
-0xffe40000 - 0xffffffff free for linux/applications
+./tools/buildman/buildman m68k
-3.2 Motorola M5282 EVB
-------------------------
-Board specific code is located in: board/m5282evb
+3.1. Build U-Boot for a specific board
-To configure the board, type: make M5272C3_config
+A bash script similar to the one below may be used:
-At the moment the code isn't fully implemented and still needs a pre-loader!
-The preloader must initialize the processor and then start U-Boot. The board
-must be configured for a pre-loader (see 4.1)
+#!/bin/bash
-For the preloader, please see
-http://mailman.uclinux.org/pipermail/uclinux-dev/2003-December/023384.html
+export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/toolchains/m68k/gcc-4.9.0-nolibc/bin/m68k-linux-
-U-Boot is configured to run at 0x20000 at default. This can be configured by
-change CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE in board/m5282evb/config.mk and CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE in
-include/configs/M5282EVB.h.
+board=M5475DFE
-3.2 BuS EB+MCF-EV123
----------------------
+make distclean
+make ARCH=m68k ${board}_defconfig
+make ARCH=m68k KBUILD_VERBOSE=1
-Board specific code is located in: board/bus/EB+MCF-EV123
-To configure the board, type:
+4. Adopted toolchains
-make EB+MCF-EV123_config for external FLASH
-make EB+MCF-EV123_internal_config for internal FLASH
+Please check:

the boards config header file (CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE) and Makefile
(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) to the load address.
