This file contains status information for the port of U-Boot to the

Galileo Evaluation Board.

The support for the Galileo Evaluation board is fairly minimal now.
 | 
						|
It's sufficient to boot Linux, but doesn't provide too much more than
 | 
						|
what's required to do this.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Both DUART channels are supported (to use the second one, you have to
 | 
						|
modify the board -- see the schematics for where to solder on the
 | 
						|
devices module).  The ethernet ports are supported, and the MPSC is
 | 
						|
supported as a console driver. (keep in mind that the kernel has no
 | 
						|
support for this yet)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are still occaisonal lockups with the MPSC console driver due to
 | 
						|
(we think!) overrun problems.  If you're looking for something stable
 | 
						|
to use for Linux development, consider sticking with the DUART console
 | 
						|
for now.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Automatic memory sizing mostly works.  We've had problems with some
 | 
						|
combinations of memory.  Please send us email if you're having trouble
 | 
						|
with respect to the memory detection.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Right now, only the 512k boot flash is supported.  Support for the
 | 
						|
16MB flash on the devices module is forthcoming.  Right now the flash
 | 
						|
is stored at the 256k boundry in flash, wasting a whole sector (64k!)
 | 
						|
for environment data.  This isn't really a big deal since we're not
 | 
						|
using the 512k for anything else. (Just U-Boot and the environment)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Finally, here is a sample output session:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
U-Boot 1.0.0-pre1 (Jun  6 2001 - 12:45:11)
 |

  DRAM:  256 MB
 | 
						|
  FLASH: 512 kB

  Out:   serial

  Err:   serial

=>

 | 
						|
The default configuration should be correct for the evaluation board,
 | 
						|
as it's shipped from Galileo.  Keep in mind that the default baudrate
 | 
						|
is set to 38400, 8N1.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Good luck, and make sure to send any bugreports to us (or the
 | 
						|
u-boot-users list).
