1*4882a593SmuzhiyunThis file contains status information for the port of U-Boot to the
2*4882a593SmuzhiyunMotorola mpc74xx series of CPUs.

7*4882a593SmuzhiyunCurrently the support for these CPUs is pretty minimal, but enough to
8*4882a593Smuzhiyunget things going.  (much like the support for the Galileo Eval Board)

10*4882a593SmuzhiyunThere is a framework in place to enable the L2 cache, and to program
11*4882a593Smuzhiyunthe BATs.  Currently, there are still problems with the code which
12*4882a593Smuzhiyunsets up the L2 cache, so it's not enabled. (IMHO, it shouldn't be
13*4882a593Smuzhiyunanyway).  Additionally, there is support for enabling the MMU, which
14*4882a593Smuzhiyunwe also don't do.  The BATs are programmed just for the benefit of
15*4882a593Smuzhiyunjumping into Linux in a sane configuration.

17*4882a593SmuzhiyunMost of the code was based on other cpus supported by U-Boot.

19*4882a593SmuzhiyunIf you find any errors in the CPU setup code, please send us a note.
