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.
ARM memory layout fixes: the abort-stack is now set up in the
correct RAM area, and the BSS is zeroed out as it should be.
Furthermore, the magic variables 'armboot_end' and 'armboot_end_data'
of the linker scripts are replaced by '__bss_start' and '_end',
resp., which is a further step to eliminate unnecessary differences
between the implementation of the CPU architectures.
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
- fix spelling errors
- set GD_FLG_DEVINIT flag only after device function pointers
are valid
- Allow CFG_ALT_MEMTEST on systems where address zero isn't
writeable
- enable 3.rd UART (ST-UART) on PXA(XScale) CPUs
- trigger watchdog while waiting in serial driver
- 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)
* Patches by Kyle Harris, 13 Mar 2003:
- Add FAT partition support
- Add command support for FAT
- Add command support for MMC
----
- Add Intel PXA support for video
- Add Intel PXA support for MMC
----
- Enable MMC and FAT for lubbock board
- Other misc changes for lubbock board
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)
the HSYNC/VSYNC. Requires new CPLD code (Version 101 for Rev. 100
boards, version 153 for Rev. 200 boards).
* Patch by Vladimir Gurevich, 12 Mar 2003:
Fix relocation problem of statically initialized string pointers
in common/cmd_pci.c
* Patch by Kai-Uwe Blöm, 12 Mar 2003:
Cleanup & bug fixes for JFFS2 code:
- the memory mangement was broken. It caused havoc on malloc by
writing beyond the block boundaries.
- the length calculation for files was wrong, sometimes resulting
in short file reads.
- data copying now optionally takes fragment version numbers into
account, to avoid copying from older data.
See doc/README.JFFS2 for details.
- fix bug in BOOTP code (must use NetCopyIP)
- update of CSB226 port
- clear BSS segment on XScale
- added support for i2c_init_board() function
- update to the Innokom plattform
* Extend support for redundand environments for configurations where
environment size < sector size
Add support for Motorola MPC8266ADS board
* Patch by Kyle Harris, 19 Feb 2003:
patches for the Intel lubbock board:
memsetup.S - general cleanup (based on Robert's csb226 code)
flash.c - overhaul, actually works now
lubbock.c - fix init funcs to return proper value
* Patch by Kenneth Johansson, 26 Feb 2003:
- Fixed off by one in RFTA calculation.
- No need to abort when LDF is lower than we can program it's only
minimum timing so clamp it to what we can do.
- Takes function pointer to function for reading the spd_nvram. Usefull
for faking data or hardcode a module without the nvram.
- fix other user for above change
- fix some comments.
* Patches by Brian Waite, 26 Feb 2003:
- fix port for evb64260 board
- fix PCI for evb64260 board
- fix PCI scan
* Patch by Reinhard Meyer, 1 Mar 2003:
Add support for EMK TOP860 Module
* Patch by Yuli Barcohen, 02 Mar 2003:
Add SPD EEPROM support for MPC8260ADS board
