A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1',
which needs to be added the the linker script. Instead of just adding this
one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section
gcc has now and might add in the future.
However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section
ordering. The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra
padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the
aligned rodata of the next object file. This is easy to fix by using the
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command.
This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified. Some boards
have a linker script that looks something like this:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.str1.4)
*(.eh_frame)
I change this to:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.eh_frame)
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))
This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned.
However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to
16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is.

Most of the bss initialization loop increments 4 bytes
at a time. And the loop end is checked for an 'equal'
condition. Make the bss end address aligned by 4, so
that the loop will end as expected.

This patch provides an unificated way of handling xilinx v5 ppc440 boards.
It unificates 3 different things:
1) Source code
A new board called ppc440-generic has been created. This board includes
a generic tlb initialization (Maps the whole memory into virtual) and
defines board_pre_init, checkboard, initdram and get_sys_info weakly,
so, they can be replaced by specific functions.
If a new board needs to redefine any of the previous functions
(specific initialization) it can create a new directory with the
specific initializations needed. (see the example ml507 board).
2) Configuration file
Common configurations are located under configs/xilinx-ppc440.h, this
header file interpretes the xparameters file generated by EDK and
configurates u-boot in correspondence. Example: if there is a Temac,
allows CMD_CONFIG_NET
Specific configuration are located under specific configuration file.
(see the example ml507 board)
3) Makefile
Some work has been done in order to not duplicate work in the Main
Makefile. Please see the attached code.
In order to support new boards they can be implemented in the next way:
a) Simple Generic Board (90% of the time)
Using EDK generates a new xparameters.h file, replace
ppc440-generic/xparameters.h and run make xilinx-ppc440-generic_config
&& make
b) Simple Boards with special u-boot parameters (9 % of the time)
Create a new file under configs for it (use ml507.h as example) and
change your paramaters. Create a new Makefile paragraph and compile
c) Complex boards (1% of the time)
Create a new folder for the board, like the ml507
Finally, it adds support for the Avnet FX30T Evaluation board, following
the new generic structure:
Cheap board by Avnet for evaluating the Virtex5 FX technology.
This patch adds support for:
- UartLite
- 16MB Flash
- 64MB RAM
Prior using U-boot in this board, read carefully the ERRATA by Avnet
to solve some memory initialization issues.

This patch allows booting from FLASH the ML507 board by Xilinx.
Previously, U-Boot needed to be loaded from JTAG or a Sytem ACE CF

This commit gets rid of a huge amount of silly white-space issues.
Especially, all sequences of SPACEs followed by TAB characters get
removed (unless they appear in print statements).
Also remove all embedded "vim:" and "vi:" statements which hide
indentation problems.

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.

- Add support for PPC440EPx & PPC440GRx
- Add support for PPC440EP(x)/GR(x) NAND controller
in cpu/ppc4xx directory
- Add NAND boot functionality for Sequoia board,
please see doc/README.nand-boot-ppc440 for details
- This Sequoia NAND image doesn't support environment
in NAND for now. This will be added in a short while.
