2009-07-22Save server's MAC address in environmentRobin Getz
Linux's netconsole works much better when you can pass it the MAC address of the server. (otherwise it just uses broadcast, which everyone else on my network complains about :) This sets the env var "serveraddr" (to match ethaddr), so that you can pass it to linux with whatever bootargs you want to.... addnetconsole=set bootargs $(bootargs) netconsole=@$(ipaddr)/eth0,@$(serverip)/$(serveraddr) Signed-of-by: Robin Getz <rgetz@blackfin.uclinux.org> Signed-off-by: Ben Warren <biggerbadderben@gmail.com>

2009-07-16Remove legacy NAND and disk on chip code.Scott Wood
Legacy NAND had been scheduled for removal. Any boards that use this were already not building in the previous release due to an #error. The disk on chip code in common/cmd_doc.c relies on legacy NAND, and it has also been removed. There is newer disk on chip code in drivers/mtd/nand; someone with access to hardware and sufficient time and motivation can try to get that working, but for now disk on chip is not supported.

2009-07-07nand_spl: read environment early, when booting from NAND using nand_splGuennadi Liakhovetski
Currently, when booting from NAND using nand_spl, in the beginning the default environment is used until later in boot process the dynamic environment is read out. This way environment variables that must be interpreted early, like the baudrate or "silent", cannot be modified dynamically and remain at their default values. Fix this problem by reading out main and redundand (if used) copies of the environment in the nand_spl code.

2009-06-21ARM1136: Introduce CONFIG_PRELOADER macro.Magnus Lilja
Currently CONFIG_ONENAND_IPL is used in a number of #ifdef's in start.S. In preparation for adding support for NAND SPL the macro CONFIG_PRELOADER is introducted and replaces the CONFIG_ONENAND_IPL in start.S. Signed-off-by: Magnus Lilja <lilja.magnus@gmail.com>
2009-06-12mtd: Introduce CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE to select compilation of mtdcore.oStefan Roese
This new define enables mtdcore.c compilation and with this we can select the MTD device infrastructure needed for the reworked mtdparts command. We now have the 2 MTD infrastructure defines, CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE and CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS. CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE is needed (as explained above) for the "mtdparts" command and CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS is needed for UBI.

2009-06-12i2c: Update references to individual i2c commandsPeter Tyser
The individual i2c commands imd, imm, inm, imw, icrc32, iprobe, iloop, and isdram are no longer available so all references to them have been updated to the new form of "i2c <cmd>". Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
2009-06-12i2c: Remove deprecated individual i2c commandsPeter Tyser
The following individual I2C commands have been removed: imd, imm, inm, imw, icrc32, iprobe, iloop, isdram. The functionality of the individual commands is still available via the 'i2c' command. This change only has an impact on those boards which did not have CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE defined. Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
2009-04-04Add support for building native win32 toolsPeter Tyser
Add support for compiling the host tools in the tools directory using the MinGW toolchain. This produces executables which can be used on standard Windows computers without requiring cygwin. One must specify the MinGW compiler and strip utilities as if they were the host toolchain in order to build win32 executables, eg: make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
2009-04-03Add "source" command; prepare removal of "autoscr" commandWolfgang Denk
According to the doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt, the "autoscr" command will be replaced by the "source" command in approximately 6 months from now. This patch prepares this change and starts a 6 month transition period as follows: - The new "source" command has been added, which implements exactly the same functionlaity as the old "autoscr" command before - The old "autoscr" command name is kept as an alias for compatibility - Command sequences, script files atc. have been adapted to use the new "source" command - Related environment variables ("autoscript", "autoscript_uname") have *not* been adapted yet; these will be renamed resp. removed in a separate patch when the support for the "autoscr" command get's finally dropped.

2009-03-20Separate mtdparts command from jffs2Stefan Roese
Currently the mtdparts commands are included in the jffs2 command support. This doesn't make sense anymore since other commands (e.g. UBI) use this infrastructure as well now. This patch separates the mtdparts commands from the jffs2 commands making it possible to only select mtdparts when no JFFS2 support is needed.

2009-02-19Create configuration option for restricted ns16550 functionsRon Madrid
This patch will create a configuration option for a minimum configuration for the ns16550 serial driver at drivers/serial/ns16550.c and will apply this new configuration option to the SIMPC8313.h config file in order to fix the NAND bootstrap build error. This option will exclude all functions with exception of NS16550_putc and NS16550_init. This will be used primarily to save space and remove unused code from builds in which space is limited.

2009-02-18rename CONFIG_CMD_ENV to CONFIG_CMD_SAVEENVMike Frysinger

2009-02-118xx serial, smc: add configurable SMC Rx buffer lenHeiko Schocher
This patch adds the configuration option CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN. With this option it is possible to allow the receive buffer for the SMC on 8xx to be greater then 1. In case CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN == 1 this driver works as the old version. When defining CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE must be defined to setup the maximum idle timeout for the SMC.

2009-01-27soft_i2c.c add option for repeated start in i2c_read()Andrew Dyer
This patch adds a #define to optionally change the behaviour of i2c_read() in soft_i2c.c to send an I2C repeated start instead of a stop-start between sending the device address pointer write and reading back the data. The current behaviour is retained as the default. While most devices will work either way, I have a smart battery(*) that requires repeated start, and someone at some point found a device that required a stop-start.
