+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.
+
+SW1[1-5]: Processor core voltage
