After following the step of Yoo. Jonghoon and Wolfgang Denk, I ported u-boot on RPXlite DW version board: RPXlite_DW or LITE_DW. There are at least three differences between the Yoo-ported RPXlite and the RPXlite_DW. Board(in U-Boot) version(in EmbeddedPlanet) CPU SDRAM FLASH RPXlite RPXlite CW 850 16MB 4MB RPXlite_DW RPXlite DW(EP 823 H1 DW) 823e 64MB 16MB This fireware is specially coded for EmbeddedPlanet Co. Software Development Platform(RPXlite DW),which has a NEC NL6448BC20-08 LCD panel. It has the following three features: 1. 64MHz/48MHz system frequence setting options. The default setting is 48MHz.To get a 64MHz u-boot,just add '64' in make command,like make distclean make RPXlite_DW_64_config make all 2. CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH/CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM The default environment parameter is stored in FLASH because it is a common choice for environment parameter.So I make NVRAM as backup parameter storeage.The reason why I didn't use EEPROM for ENV is that PlanetCore V2.0 use EEPROM as environment parameter home.Because of the possibility of using two firewares on this board,I didn't 'disturb' EEPROM.To get NVRAM support,you may use the following build command: make distclean make RPXlite_DW_NVRAM_config make all 3. LCD panel support To support the Platform better,I added LCD panel(NL6448BC20-08) function. For the convenience of debug, CONFIG_PERBOOT was supported. So you just perss ENTER if you want to get a serial console in boot downcounting. Then you can switch to LCD and serial console freely just typing 'run lcd' or 'run ser'. They are only vaild when CONFIG_LCD was enabled. To get a LCD support u-boot,you can do the following: make distclean make RPXlite_DW_LCD_config make all ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The basic make commands could be: make RPXlite_DW_config make RPXlite_DW_64_config make RPXlite_DW_LCD_config make RPXlite_DW_NVRAM_config BTW,you can combine the above features together and get a workable u-boot to meet your need. For example,to get a 64MHZ && ENV_IS_IN_FLASH && LCD panel support u-boot,you can type: make RPXlite_DW_NVRAM_64_LCD_config make all So other combining make commands could be: make RPXlite_DW_NVRAM_64_config make RPXlite_DW_NVRAM_LCD_config make RPXlite_DW_64_LCD_config ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The boot process by "make RPXlite_DW_config" could be: U-Boot 1.1.2 (Aug 29 2004 - 15:11:27) CPU: PPC823EZTnnB2 at 48 MHz: 16 kB I-Cache 8 kB D-Cache Board: RPXlite_DW DRAM: 64 MB FLASH: 16 MB *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Net: SCC ETHERNET u-boot> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A word on the U-Boot environment variable setting and usage : In the beginning, you could just need very simple default environment variable setting, like[include/configs/RPXlite.h] : #define CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND \ "bootp; " \ "setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=${serverip}:${rootpath} " \ "ip=${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gatewayip}:${netmask}:${hostname}::off; " \ "bootm" This is enough for kernel NFS test. But as debug process goes on, you would expect to save some time on environment variable setting and u-boot/kernel updating. So the default environment variable setting would become more complicated. Just like the one I did in include/configs/RPXlite_DW.h. Two u-boot commands, ku and uu, should be careful to use. They were designed to update kernel and u-boot image file respectively. You must tftp your image to default address '100000' and then use them correctly. Yeah, you can create your own command to do this job. :-) The example u-boot image updating process could be : u-boot>t 100000 RPXlite_DW_LCD.bin Using SCC ETHERNET device TFTP from server 172.16.115.6; our IP address is 172.16.115.7 Filename 'RPXlite_DW_LCD.bin'.

Only the special string defined by CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR like 'st' can stop the autoboot. I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitute to kind people for helping me work it out. I would particually thank Wolfgang Denk for his nice help. Enjoy, Sam Song, samsongshu@yahoo.com.cn Institute of Electrical Machinery and Controls Shanghai University Oct. 11, 2004
