5 This README is about U-Boot support for TI's ARM Cortex-A8 based OMAP3 [1]
6 family of SoCs. TI's OMAP3 SoC family contains an ARM Cortex-A8. Additionally,
7 some family members contain a TMS320C64x+ DSP and/or an Imagination SGX 2D/3D
8 graphics processor and various other standard peripherals.
10 Currently the following boards are supported:
12 * OMAP3530 BeagleBoard [2]
17 While ARM Cortex-A8 support ARM v7 instruction set (-march=armv7a) we compile
18 with -march=armv5 to allow more compilers to work. For U-Boot code this has
19 no performance impact.
26 make omap3_beagle_config
32 To make U-Boot for OMAP3 support NAND device SW or HW ECC calculation, U-Boot
33 for OMAP3 supports custom user command
37 To be compatible with NAND drivers using SW ECC (e.g. kernel code)
41 enables SW ECC calculation. HW ECC enabled with
45 is typically used to write 2nd stage bootloader (known as 'x-loader') which is
46 executed by OMAP3's boot rom and therefore has to be written with HW ECC.
