+Fuse API functions and commands
+
+The fuse API allows to control a fusebox and how it is used by the upper
+hardware layers.
+
+A fuse corresponds to a single non-volatile memory bit that can be programmed
+(i.e. blown, set to 1) only once. The programming operation is irreversible. A
+fuse that has not been programmed reads 0.
+
+Fuses can be used by SoCs to store various permanent configuration and data,
+e.g. boot configuration, security configuration, MAC addresses, etc.
+
+A fuse word is the smallest group of fuses that can be read at once from the
+fusebox control IP registers. This is limited to 32 bits with the current API.
+
+A fuse bank is the smallest group of fuse words having a common ID, as defined
+by each SoC.
+
+Upon startup, the fusebox control IP reads the fuse values and stores them to a
+volatile shadow cache.
+
+See the README files of the drivers implementing this API in order to know the
+SoC- and implementation-specific details.
+
+Functions / commands:
+
+ int fuse_read(u32 bank, u32 word, u32 *val);
+ fuse read <bank> <word> [<cnt>]
+ Read fuse words from the shadow cache.
+
+ int fuse_sense(u32 bank, u32 word, u32 *val);
+ fuse sense <bank> <word> [<cnt>]
+ Sense - i.e. read directly from the fusebox, skipping the shadow cache -
+ fuse words. This operation does not update the shadow cache.
+
+ This is useful to know the true value of fuses if an override has been
+ performed (see below).
+
+ int fuse_prog(u32 bank, u32 word, u32 val);
+ fuse prog [-y] <bank> <word> <hexval> [<hexval>...]
+ Program fuse words. This operation directly affects the fusebox and is
+ irreversible. The shadow cache is updated accordingly or not, depending on
+ each IP.
+
+ Only the bits to be programmed should be set in the input value (i.e. for
+ fuse bits that have already been programmed and hence should be left
+ unchanged by a further programming, it is preferable to clear the
+ corresponding bits in the input value in order not to perform a new
+ hardware programming operation on these fuse bits).
+
+ int fuse_override(u32 bank, u32 word, u32 val);
+ fuse override <bank> <word> <hexval> [<hexval>...]
+ Override fuse words in the shadow cache.
+
+ The fusebox is unaffected, so following this operation, the shadow cache
+ may differ from the fusebox values. Read or sense operations can then be
+ used to get the values from the shadow cache or from the fusebox.
+
+ This is useful to change the behaviors linked to some cached fuse values,
+ either because this is needed only temporarily, or because some of the
+ fuses have already been programmed or are locked (if the SoC allows to
+ override a locked fuse).
+
+Configuration:
+
+ CONFIG_CMD_FUSE
+ Define this to enable the fuse commands.

+Serial Port Configuration on P1010RDB
+=====================================
+Configure the serial port of the attached computer with the following values:
+ -Data rate: 115200 bps
+ -Number of data bits: 8
+ -Parity: None
+ -Number of Stop bits: 1
+ -Flow Control: Hardware/None
+
+
+Settings of DIP-switch
+======================
+ SW4[1:4]= 1111 and SW6[4]=0 for boot from 16bit NOR flash
+ SW4[1:4]= 1000 and SW6[4]=1 for boot from 8bit NAND flash
+ SW4[1:4]= 0110 and SW6[4]=0 for boot from SPI flash
+Note: 1 stands for 'on', 0 stands for 'off'
+
+
+Setting of hwconfig
+===================
+If FlexCAN or TDM is needed, please set "fsl_p1010mux:tdm_can=can" or
+"fsl_p1010mux:tdm_can=tdm" explicitly in u-booot prompt as below for example:
+setenv hwconfig "fsl_p1010mux:tdm_can=tdm;usb1:dr_mode=host,phy_type=utmi"
+By default, don't set fsl_p1010mux:tdm_can, in this case, spi chip selection
+is set to spi-flash instead of to SLIC/TDM/DAC and tdm_can_sel is set to TDM
+instead of to CAN/UART1.

+ RAMBOOT for MPC85xx Platforms
+ ==============================
+
+RAMBOOT literally means boot from DDR. But since DDR is volatile memory some
+pre-mechanism is required to load the DDR with the bootloader binary.
+- In case of SD and SPI boot this is done by BootROM code inside the chip
+ itself.
+- In case of NAND boot FCM supports loading initial 4K code from NAND flash
+ which can initialize the DDR and get the complete bootloader copied to DDR.
+
+In addition to the above there could be some more methods to initialize the DDR
+and load it manually.
+Two of them are described below.There is also an explanation as to where these
+methods could be handy.
+1. Load the RAM based bootloader onto DDR via JTAG/BDI interface. And then
+ execute the bootloader from DDR.
+ This may be handy in the following cases:
+ - In very early stage of platform bringup where other boot options are not
+ functional because of various reasons.
+ - In case the support to program the flashes on the board is not available.
+
+2. Load the RAM based bootloader onto DDR using already existing bootloader on
+ the board.And then execute the bootloader from DDR.
+ Some usecases where this may be used:
+ - While developing some new feature of u-boot, for example USB driver or
+ SPI driver.
+ Suppose the board already has a working bootloader on it. And you would
+ prefer to keep it intact, at the same time want to test your bootloader.
+ In this case you can get your test bootloader binary into DDR via tftp
+ for example. Then execute the test bootloader.
+ - Suppose a platform already has a propreitery bootloader which does not
+ support for example AMP boot. In this case also RAM boot loader can be
+ utilized.
+
+ So basically when the original bootloader is required to be kept intact
+ RAM based bootloader can offer an updated bootloader on the system.
+
+Both the above Bootloaders are slight variants of SDcard or SPI Flash
+bootloader or for that matter even NAND bootloader.
+All of them define CONFIG_SYS_RAMBOOT.
+The main difference among all of them is the way the pre-environment is getting
+configured and who is doing that.
+- In case of SD card and SPI flash bootloader this is done by On Chip BootROM inside the Si itself.
+- In case of NAND boot SPL/TPL code does it with some support from Si itself.
+- In case of the pure RAM based bootloaders we have to do it by JTAG manually or already existing bootloader.
+
+How to use them:
+1. Using JTAG
+ Boot up in core hold off mode or stop the core after reset using JTAG
+ interface.
+ Preconfigure DDR/L2SRAM through JTAG interface.
+ - setup DDR controller registers.
+ - setup DDR LAWs
+ - setup DDR TLB
+ Load the RAM based boot loader to the proper location in DDR/L2SRAM.
+ set up IAR (Instruction counter properly)
+ Enable the core to execute.
+
+2. Using already existing bootloader.
+ get the rambased boot loader binary into DDR/L2SRAM via tftp.
+ execute the RAM based bootloader.
+ => tftp 11000000 u-boot-ram.bin
+ => go 1107f000
+
+Please note that L2SRAM can also be used instead of DDR if the SOC has
+sufficient size of L2SRAM.
+
+Necessary Code changes Required:
+=====================================
+Please note that below mentioned changes are for 85xx platforms.
+They have been tested on P1020/P2020/P1010 RDB.
+
+The main difference between the above two methods from technical perspective is
+that in 1st case SOC is just out of reset so it is in default configuration.
+(CCSRBAR is at 0xff700000).
+In the 2nd case bootloader has already re-located CCSRBAR to 0xffe00000
+
+1. File name-> boards.cfg
+ There can be added specific Make options for RAMBoot. We can keep different
+ options for the two cases mentioned above.
+ for example
+ P1020RDB_JTAG_RAMBOOT and P1020RDB_GO_RAMBOOT.
+
+2. platform config file
+ for example include/configs/P1_P2_RDB.h
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_RAMBOOT
+ #define CONFIG_SDCARD
+ #endif
+
+ This will finally use the CONFIG_SYS_RAMBOOT.
+
+3. File name-> arch/powerpc/include/asm/config_mpc85xx.h
+ In the section of the particular SOC, for example P1020,
+
+ #if defined(CONFIG_GO)
+ #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 0xffe00000
+ #else
+ #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 0xff700000
+ #endif
+
+For JTAG RAMBOOT this is not required because CCSRBAR is at ff700000.

-What: Remove CONFIG_CMD_MEMTEST from default list
-When: Release v2013.07
+What: Remove unused CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START/END
+When: Release v2013.10
-Why: The "mtest" command is of little practical use (if any), and
- experience has shown that a large number of board configu-
- rations define useless or even dangerous start and end
- addresses. If not even the board maintainers are able to
- figure out which memory range can be reliably tested, how can
- we expect such from the end users? As this problem comes up
- repeatedly, we rather do not enable this command by default,
- so only people who know what they are doing will be confronted
- with it.
+Why: As the 'mtest' command is no longer default, a number of platforms
+ have not opted to turn the command back on and thus provide unused
+ defines (which are likely to be propogated to new platforms from
+ copy/paste). Remove these defines when unused.
