CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
+ CONFIG_RTC_MC13783 - use MC13783 RTC
CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
+ CFG_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
CONFIG_E1000
Support for Intel 8254x gigabit chips.
+ CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC
+ default MAC for empty eeprom after production.
+
CONFIG_EEPRO100
Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips.
Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables eeprom
of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
option 12 to the DHCP server.
+ CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
+
+ A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
+ receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
+ This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
+ respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
+ AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
+ to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
+ DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
+ least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
+ that one of the retries will be successful but note that
+ the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
+ this delay.
+
- CDP Options:

Modem Support:
--------------
Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
+- CFG_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
+ If CFG_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
+ this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
+ (end) of ram and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
+ fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
+ the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
+ This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
+ board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
+ recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
+ will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
+
+ This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
+ CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
+ be touched.
+
+ WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
+ the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
+ then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
+ non page size aligned address and this could cause major
+ problems.

- CFG_TFTP_LOADADDR:
Default load address for network file downloads
- CFG_BOOTMAPSZ:
Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of

- initrd image) must be put below this limit.
+ the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
+ used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
+ enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
+ all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
+ and "bootm_low" + CFG_BOOTMAPSZ.
- CFG_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
Max number of Flash memory banks
This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
in the drivers directory

+
+ bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm

Image Formats:
==============
-The "boot" commands of this monitor operate on "image" files which
-can be basicly anything, preceeded by a special header; see the
-definitions in include/image.h for details; basicly, the header
-defines the following image properties:
+U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
+images in two formats:
+
+New uImage format (FIT)
+-----------------------
+
+Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
+to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
+components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
+SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
+
+
+Old uImage format
+-----------------
+
+Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
+preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
+details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
