This makes it possible +to test new bootloaders without thrashing the YAMON +boot loader delivered with board. + +NOTE! When you switch between the two boot flashes, the +base addresses will be swapped. +Have this in mind when you compile u-boot. CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE has +to match the address where u-boot is located when you +actually launch. + +Ethernet only supported for mac0. + +PCMCIA only supported for slot 0, only 3.3V. + +PCMCIA IDE tested with Sandisk Compact Flash and +IBM microdrive. + +################################### +######## NOTE!!!!!! ######### +################################### +If you partition a disk on another system (e.g. laptop), +all bytes will be swapped on 16bit level when using +PCMCIA and running cpu in big endian mode!!!! + +This is probably due to an error in Au1000 chip. + +Solution: + +a) Boot via network and partition disk directly from +dbau1x00. The endian will then be correct. + +b) Partition disk on "laptop" and fill it with all files +you need. Then write a simple program that endian swaps +whole disk, + +Example: +Original "laptop" byte order: +B0 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9... + +Dbau1000 byte order will then be: +B1 B0 B3 B2 B5 B4 B7 B6 B9 B8... |
