+1. SATA usage in U-boot
+
+ There are two ways to operate the hard disk
+
+ * Read/write raw blocks from/to SATA hard disk
+ * ext2load to read a file from ext2 file system
+
+1.0 How to read the SATA hard disk's information?
+
+ => sata info
+
+SATA device 0: Model: ST3320620AS Firm: 3.AAD Ser#: 4QF01ZTN
+ Type: Hard Disk
+ Supports 48-bit addressing
+ Capacity: 305245.3 MB = 298.0 GB (625142448 x 512)
+
+1.1 How to raw write the kernel, file system, dtb to a SATA hard disk?
+
+ Notes: Hard disk sectors are normally 512 bytes, so
+ 0x1000 sectors = 2 MBytes
+
+ write kernel
+ => tftp 40000 /tftpboot/uImage.837x
+ => sata write 40000 0 2000
+
+ write ramdisk
+ => tftp 40000 /tftpboot/ramdisk.837x
+ => sata write 40000 2000 8000
+
+ write dtb
+ => tftp 40000 /tftpboot/mpc837xemds.dtb
+ => sata write 40000 a000 1000
+
+1.2 How to raw read the kernel, file system, dtb from a SATA hard disk?
+
+ load kernel
+ => sata read 200000 0 2000
+
+ load ramdisk
+ => sata read 1000000 2000 8000

+ load dtb
+ => sata read 2000000 a000 1000

+
+1.3 How to load an image from an ext2 file system in U-boot?
+
+ U-boot doesn't support writing to an ext2 file system, so the
+ files must be written by other means (e.g. linux).

+ => ext2ls sata 0:1 /
