+Freescale MPC7448hpc2 (Taiga) board
+===================================
+
+Created 08/11/2006 Roy Zang
+--------------------------
+MPC7448hpc2 (Taiga) board is a high-performance PowerPC server reference
+design, which is optimized for high speed throughput between the processor and
+the memory, disk drive and Ethernet port subsystems.
+
+MPC7448hpc2(Taiga) is designed to the micro-ATX chassis, allowing it to be
+used in 1U or 2U rack-mount chassis¡¯, as well as in standard ATX/Micro-ATX
+chassis.
+
+Building U-Boot
+------------------
+The mpc7448hpc2 code base is known to compile using:
+ Binutils 2.15, Gcc 3.4.3, Glibc 2.3.3
+
+ $ make mpc7448hpc2_config
+ Configuring for mpc7448hpc2 board...
+
+ $ make
+
+Memory Map
+----------
+
+The memory map is setup for Linux to operate properly.
+
+The mapping is:
+
+ Range Start Range End Definition Size
+
+ 0x0000_0000 0x7fff_ffff DDR 2G
+ 0xe000_0000 0xe7ff_ffff PCI Memory 128M
+ 0xfa00_0000 0xfaff_ffff PCI IO 16M
+ 0xfb00_0000 0xfbff_ffff PCI Config 16M
+ 0xfc00_0000 0xfc0f_ffff NVRAM/CADMUS 1M
+ 0xfe00_0000 0xfeff_ffff PromJet 16M
+ 0xff00_0000 0xff80_0000 FLASH (boot flash) 8M
+ 0xff80_0000 0xffff_ffff FLASH (second half flash) 8M
+
+Using Flash
+-----------
+
+The MPC7448hpc2 board has two "banks" of flash, each 8MB in size
+(2^23 = 0x00800000).
+
+Note: the "bank" here refers to half of the flash. In fact, there is only one
+bank of flash, which is divided into low and high half. Each is controlled by
+the most significant bit of the address bus. The so called "bank" is only for
+convenience.
+
+There is a switch which allows the "bank" to be selected. The switch
+settings for updating flash are given below.
+
+The u-boot commands for copying the boot-bank into the secondary bank are
+as follows:
+
+ erase ff800000 ff880000
+ cp.b ff000000 ff800000 80000
+
+U-boot commands for downloading an image via tftp and flashing
+it into the secondary bank:
+
+ tftp 10000 <u-boot.bin.image>
+ erase ff000000 ff080000
+ cp.b 10000 ff000000 80000
+
+After copying the image into the second bank of flash, be sure to toggle
+SW3[4] on board before resetting the board in order to set the
+secondary bank as the boot-bank.
+
+Board Switches
+----------------------
+
+Most switches on the board should not be changed. The most frequent
+user-settable switches on the board are used to configure
+the flash banks and determining the PCI frequency.

+-----------------------------------------
+
+1. Board Switches and Jumpers
+
+ SW3 is used to set CFG_RESET_SOURCE.
+
+ To boot the image at 0xFE000000 in NOR flash, use these DIP
+ switche settings for SW3 SW4:
+
+ +------+ +------+
+ | | | **** |
+ | **** | | |
+ +------+ ON +------+ ON
+ 4321 4321
+ (where the '*' indicates the position of the tab of the switch.)
+
+2. Memory Map
+ The memory map looks like this:
+
+ 0x0000_0000 0x07ff_ffff DDR 128M
+ 0x8000_0000 0x8fff_ffff PCI MEM 256M

+
+ CONFIG_MPC83xx MPC83xx family
+ CONFIG_MPC831x MPC831x specific
+ CONFIG_MPC8313ERDB MPC8313ERDB board specific
+
+4. Compilation
+
+ Assuming you're using BASH (or similar) as your shell:
+
+ export CROSS_COMPILE=your-cross-compiler-prefix-
+ make distclean
+ make MPC8313ERDB_33_config
+ (or make MPC8313ERDB_66_config, depending on the speed of
+ the oscillator on your board)
+ make
+
+5. Downloading and Flashing Images
+
+5.1 Reflash U-boot Image using U-boot
+
+ =>run tftpflash
+
+ You may want to try
+ =>tftpboot $loadaddr $uboot
+ first, to make sure that the TFTP load will succeed before it
+ goes ahead and wipes out your current firmware. And of course,
+ have an alternate means of programming the flash available
+ if the new u-boot doesn't boot.
+
+5.2 Downloading and Booting Linux Kernel
+
+ Ensure that all networking-related environment variables are set
+ properly (including ipaddr, serverip, gatewayip (if needed),
+ netmask, ethaddr, eth1addr, rootpath (if using NFS root),
+ fdtfile, and bootfile).
+
+ Then, do one of the following, depending on whether you
+ want an NFS root or a ramdisk root:
+
+ =>run nfsboot
+ or
+ =>run ramboot
+
+6 Notes
+
+ Booting from NAND flash is not yet supported.
+ The console baudrate for MPC8313ERDB is 115200bps.

+5. pixis_reset command
+--------------------
+A new command, "pixis_reset", is introduced to reset mpc8641hpcn board
+using the FPGA sequencer. When the board restarts, it has the option
+of using either the current or alternate flash bank as the boot
+image, with or without the watchdog timer enabled, and finally with
+or without frequency changes.
+
+Usage is;
+
+ pixis_reset
+ pixis_reset altbank
+ pixis_reset altbank wd
+ pixis_reset altbank cf <SYSCLK freq> <COREPLL ratio> <MPXPLL ratio>
+ pixis_reset cf <SYSCLK freq> <COREPLL ratio> <MPXPLL ratio>
+

+
+ /* reset to current bank, like "reset" command */
+ pixis_reset
+
+ /* reset board but use the to alternate flash bank */
+ pixis_reset altbank
+
+ /* reset board, use alternate flash bank with watchdog timer enabled*/
+ pixis_reset altbank wd

+ /* reset board to alternate bank with frequency changed.
+ * 40 is SYSCLK, 2.5 is COREPLL ratio, 10 is MPXPLL ratio
