 This U-Boot version supports the following boards:
 
    DB-88F5181-DDR1
    DB-88F5181-DDR2
    DB-88F5X81-DDR2-A

 The following is the U-Boot board detection procedure performed by U-Boot:
 
1. Board detection is done in both mvBoardIdGet() C function, and  
   'platformsetup' assembler routine.  

2. Compilation flag in mvBoardIdGet() function and 'platformsetup' assembler routine
   define the detection of the following boards :
   
   "RD-88F5181-VOIP-DDR1"      (u-boot_RD_5181_VOIP.* binaries)
   "RD-88F5181-POS-NAS-DDR1"     (u-boot_RD-5181_88SX7042_2xSATA.* binaries)
   "RD-88F5182-NAS-2"         (u-boot_RD_5182.* binaries)
   "DB-88F5181-DDR1-PRPMC"    (u-boot_DB_5181_PRPMC.* binaries)
   "DB-88F5181-DDR1-PEX-PCI"    (u-boot_DB_5181_PEX_PCI.* binaries)
   "RD-88F5181L-VOIP-FE"         (u-boot_RD_5181L_FE.* binaries)
    "RD-88F5181L-VOIP-FE (with 88F5181 SOC)"   (u-boot_RD_5181_FE.* binaries)
    "RD-88F5181L-VOIP-GE" (u-boot_RD_5181L_GE.* binaries)


   Note:
   -----
   In case of customer board, a customer compilation flag in mvBoardIdGet() function
   and 'platformsetup' assembler routine should define the detection of the customer
   board.
   
3. If other boards then:
3.1. If a TWSI EEPROM exist at address 0x50 and a valid Board ID was read from it then board
     detection is done according to Board ID value as follows:

   Note
   ----
   See section '4. U-Boot supported Board ID format' for board ID format explanation.
   
3.1.1 If 88F5181 or 88F5281 chip exist on the board then when using u-boot_DB_5x81_LE.* and
      u-boot_DB_5x81_BE.* binaries the following boards can be detected:


    Board name                          Board ID
    --------------                      --------
    DB-88F5181-DDR1                   0x2 (Old Boad)
    DB-88F5181-DDR2                   0x3 (Old Boad)
    DB-88F5X81-DDR2-A               0x7 (New Board)
    DB-88F5X81-DDR1-A               0x8 (New Board)
    DB-88F5182-DDR2                    0xA


3.1.2 If 88F5182 chip exist on the board then when using u-boot_DB_5182_LE.* and
      u-boot_DB_5182_BE.* binaries the following boards are detected:

    Board name          Board ID
    --------------          --------
    DB-88F5182-DDR2          0xA

3.1.3 If 88F5181L chip exist on the board then when using u-boot_DB_5181L_2xTDM_LE.* and
      u-boot_DB_5181L_2xTDM_BE.* binaries the following boards are detected:

    Board name                                  Board ID
    --------------                               --------
    DB-88F5181L-DDR2-2xTDM    0xC


     
3.2. If no TWSI EEPROM exist or no valid Board ID then using u-boot_DB_5x81_LE.* and
      u-boot_DB_5x81_BE.* binaries the following boards are detected:
      
3.2.1. If Orion2 B0 chip exist on the board then:

3.2.1.1.  If DRAM is DDR1 then U-Boot assume board is: DB-88F5X81-DDR1-A
3.2.1.2.  If DRAM is DDR2 then U-Boot assume board is: DB-88F5X81-DDR2-A

3.2.2. If other Orion chips than Orion2 B0 ( for example : Orion1 and Orion 2 A0) then:

3.2.2.1. If DRAM is DDR1 then U-Boot assume board is: DB-88F5X81-DDR1
3.2.2.2. If DRAM is DDR2 then U-Boot assume board is: DB-88F5X81-DDR2

 Starting from U-Boot version (1.5.0), a board identification data must present
 on the board TWSI EEPROM (address 0x50) to properly run-time detect the Board Id.
 
 Please see section '3. U-Boot Board detection process in U-Boot' for Board detection
 process description.
 
 Supported Board ID numbers are as follows:

Name	Board ID
DB-88F5181-DDR1	0x2
DB-88F5181-DDR2	0x3
DB-88F5181-DDR1-PRPMC	0x4
DB-88F5181-DDR1-PEXPCI	0x5
RD-88F5181-88SX7042-2XSATA	0x6
DB-88F5X81-DDR2-A	0x7
DB-88F5X81-DDR1-A	0x8
RD-88F5181-VOIP-RD1	0x9
DB-88F5182-DDR2	0xA
RD-88F5182-NAS-2	0xB
DB-88F5181L-DDR2-2xTDM	0xC
RD_88F5181L_VOIP_FE	0xD
RD_88F5181L_VOIP_GE	0xE

 

 Board Identification data should start at the last 16 byte of the TWSI EEPROM,
 and its format is as follows:
    
    offset 0: 4 bytes 0xFEEDFEED magic word.
    offset 4: 2 bytes  board id.
    offset 6: 1 byte board version as appeared in the board ECO.
    offset 7: 1 byte board reversion as appeared in the board ECO.
    offset 8: 8 reserved bytes for future use.

 If using old U-Boot that don't support board ID detection, and board that don't include Board
 Identification data then before upgrading U-Boot, the board identification data should be
 programmed on the board TWSI EEPROM using 'imm' command, the following example illustrates
 how to program the board identification data for a board with board id equal to 8 and has
 a 8KByte TWSI EEPROM:
    
    Marvell>> imm.l 50 1ff0.2
    00001ff0: ffffffff ? feedfeed
    00001ff4: ffffffff ? .
    Marvell>> imm.w 50 1ff4.2
    00001ff4: ffff ? 8
    00001ff6: ffff ? .
    Marvell>> imm.b 50 1ff6.2
    00001ff6: ff ? 0
    00001ff7: ff ? 0
    00001ff8: ff ? .

 General:

  - This U-Boot release binaries were cross compiled with CSLQ32005 compiler.
 
 - Please refer to "U-Boot User Manual" and to "How to build U-Boot" section in this
   release notes for more information.

 Makefile:

  - Makefile was modified to support CSLQ32005 cross compiler instead of arm-linux
   compiler.
 - The following rules were added to the U-Boot Makefile and are supported in this
   release :
   
   db88f5182_config      - used to make little endian binaries for the
                           DB-88F5182-DDR2 board.
   db88f5182_BE_config   - used to make big endian binaries for the
                           DB-88F5182-DDR2 board.
   rd88f5182_TINY_config - used to make little endian binaries for the
                           RD-88F5182-NAS-2 board.
   
 - The following variables were added to the Makefile:
   CSL - path and name of the little endian CSLQ32005 compiler.
   CSLBE - path and name of the big endian CSLQ32005 compiler.

  - Modified u-boot-tiny.lds linker script and config-tiny.mk to link text and data sections to address
    0xF10000 instead of 0xF40000 due to memory override of page table (when enabled) over the
    BSS section.

  - Added sanity check to the u-boot-tiny.lds linker script to check of U-Boot image footprint overflow
  of the flash size (for example, for the RD-88F5182-NAS-2 the flash size is 256KByte).

   from 1 MB to 64KB.
   

 - Starting from this U-Boot version (1.5.0), a board identification data must present
   on the board TWSI EEPROM (address 0x50) to properly run-time detect the board id, as a
   result:
    * U-Boot will not run on boards that don't have the board identification data on
    the TWSI EEPROM, the board identification data should start at the last 16 byte of
    the TWSI EEPROM, and its format is as follows:
    
    offset 0: 4 bytes 0xFEEDFEED magic word.
    offset 4: 2 bytes  board id.
    offset 6: 1 byte board version as appeared in the board ECO.
    offset 7: 1 byte board reversion as appeared in the board ECO.
    offset 8: 8 reserved bytes for future use.

    * Before updating U-Boot release with bubt command, the board identification should
    be programmed on the board TWSI EEPROM using 'imm' command, the following example
    illustrates how to program the board identification data for a board with board id
    equal to 8 and has a 8KByte TWSI EEPROM:
    
    Marvell>> imm.l 50 1ff0.2
    00001ff0: ffffffff ? feedfeed
    00001ff4: ffffffff ? .
    Marvell>> imm.w 50 1ff4.2
    00001ff4: ffff ? 8
    00001ff6: ffff ? .
    Marvell>> imm.b 50 1ff6.2
    00001ff6: ff ? 0
    00001ff7: ff ? 0
    00001ff8: ff ? .
    Marvell>>
    Marvell>> imd 50 1ff0.2
    1ff0: fe ed fe ed 00 08 00 00 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff    ................
    Marvell>>

  - Accessing main flash in RD-88F5181-VOIP-RD1 board when monitor extension mode
    enabled has problems.

  - while using 'bubt' command to update little endian U-Boot with big endian U-Boot and
    vice vera, then the user must choose to override environment variables; otherwise U-Boot
    might not boot.

  - Pressing Ctrl-C (break) while TFTP tranfer using SK98 NIC will success; but if trying
    addition TFTP transfer using the same SK98 will fail.
