With recent toolchain versions, some boards would not build because
or errors like this one (here for ocotea board when building with
ELDK 4.2 beta):
ppc_4xx-ld: section .bootpg [fffff000 -> fffff23b] overlaps section .bss [fffee900 -> fffff8ab]
For many boards, the .bss section is big enough that it wraps around
at the end of the address space (0xFFFFFFFF), so the problem will not
be visible unless you use a 64 bit tool chain for development. On
some boards however, changes to the code size (due to different
optimizations) we bail out with section overlaps like above.
The fix is to add the NOLOAD attribute to the .bss and .sbss
sections, telling the linker that .bss does not consume any space in
the image.

Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
Old, obsolete and duplicated code was cleaned up and replace by the
new partitioning method. There are two possible approaches now:
* define a single, static partition
* use mtdparts command line option and dynamic partitioning
Default is static partitioning.
before we can access it; add delay in case we are faster (with no
CF card inserted)
* Cleanup of some init functions
* Make sure SCC Ethernet is always stopped by the time we boot Linux
to avoid Linux crashes by early packets coming in.
* Accelerate flash accesses on LWMON board by using buffered writes
applications: instead of using (PPC-specific) system calls we now
use a jump table; please see doc/README.standalone for details
* Patch by Dave Westwood, 24 Jul 2003:
added support for Unity OS (a proprietary OS)
add delay to get I2C working with "imm" command and s3c24x0_i2c.c
* Patch by Richard Woodruff, 17 July 03:
- Fixed bug in OMAP1510 baud rate divisor settings.
* Patch by Nye Liu, 16 July 2003:
MPC860FADS fixes:
- add MPC86xADS support (uses MPC86xADS.h)
- add 866P/T core support (also MPC859T/MPC859DSL/MPC852T)
o PLPRCR changes
o BRG changes (EXTAL/XTAL restricted to 10MHz)
o don't trust gclk() software measurement by default, depend on
CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ
- add DRAM SIMM not installed detection
- use more "correct" SDRAM initialization sequence
- allow different SDRAM sizes (8xxADS has 8M)
- default DER is 0
- remove unused MAMR defines from FADS860T.h (all done in fads.c)
- rename MAMR/MBMR defines to be more consistent. Should eventually
be merged into MxMR to better reflect the PowerQUICC datasheet.
* Patch by Yuli Barcohen, 16 Jul 2003:
support new Motorola PQ2FADS-ZU evaluation board which replaced
MPC8260ADS and MPC8266ADS
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)
* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
- major rework of command structure
(work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)
* Patch by Murray Jensen, 24 Jun 2003:
- make sure to use only U-boot provided header files
- fix problems with ".rodata.str1.4" section as used by GCC-3.x
instead CFG_MONITOR_LEN is now only used to determine _at_compile_
_time_ (!) if the environment is embedded within the U-Boot image,
or in a separate flash sector.
* Cleanup CFG_DER #defines in config files (wd maintained only)
