2013-05-02doc/ramboot.mpc85xx: Documented the RAMBOOT for MPC85xxPoonam Aggrwal
There could be scenarios where the user would like to manually(via JTAG) configure the DDR/L2SRAM and load the bootloader binary onto DDR/L2SRAM. This document explains thse usecases and the detailed explanation of what needs to be done to use it. Most of the code from CONFIG_SYS_RAMBOOT will be used except for small changes of CCSRBAR etc. The changes are not very large, but it is good to document them so that user can get it working at once.

2013-05-01sandbox: Add CONFIG_OF_HOSTFILE to read FDT from host fileSimon Glass
With sandbox it is tricky to add an FDT to the image at build time (or later) since we build an ELF file, not a plain binary, and the address space of the whole U-Boot is not accessible in the emulated memory map of sandbox. Sandbox can read files directly from the host, though, so add an option to read an FDT from a host file on start-up. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

2013-03-29New command bootmenu: ANSI terminal boot menu supportPali Rohár
The "bootmenu" command uses U-Boot menu interfaces and provides a simple mechanism for creating menus with several boot items. When running this command the menu will be assembled as defined by a set of environment variables which contain a title and command key-value pairs. The "Up" and "Down" keys are used for navigation through the items. Current active menu item is highlighted and can be selected using the "Enter" key. The command interprets and generates various ANSI escape sequencies, so for proper menu rendering and item selection the used terminal should support them.

2013-03-12Refactor linker-generated arraysAlbert ARIBAUD
Refactor linker-generated array code so that symbols which were previously linker-generated are now compiler- generated. This causes relocation records of type R_ARM_ABS32 to become R_ARM_RELATIVE, which makes code which uses LGA able to run before relocation as well as after. Note: this affects more than ARM targets, as linker- lists span possibly all target architectures, notably PowerPC.

2013-03-11Feature Removal: disable "mtest" command by defaultWolfgang Denk
The "mtest" command is of little practical use (if any), and experience has shown that a large number of board configurations define useless or even dangerous start and end addresses. If not even the board maintainers are able to figure out which memory range can be reliably tested, how can we expect such from the end users? As this problem comes up repeatedly, we rather do not enable this command by default, so only people who know what they are doing will be confronted with it. As this changes the user interface, we allow for a grace period before this change takes effect. For now, we make "mtest" configurable through the CONFIG_CMD_MEMTEST variable, which is defined in include/config_cmd_default.h; we also add an entry to doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt which announces the removal of this default setting in two releases from now, i. e. with v2013.07.

2013-01-30powerpc/mpc8xxx: Enable entering DDR debugging by key pressYork Sun
Using environmental variable "ddr_interactive" to activate interactive DDR debugging seomtiems is not enough. For example, after updating SPD with a valid but wrong image, u-boot won't come up due to wrong DDR configuration. By enabling key press method, we can enter debug mode to have a chance to boot without using other tools to recover the board. CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE needs to be defined in header file. To enter the debug mode by key press, press key 'd' shortly after reset, like one would do to abort auto booting. It is fixed to lower case 'd' at this moment.
