How to configure the Linux kernel/arch/ppc/8xx io

Howto configure the Linux kernel / arch / ppc / 8xx_io


 * MPC8xx Communication options
 * MPC8xx Communication options

MPC8xx CPM Options

 * depends on 8xx


 * Option: SCC_ENET
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) CPM SCC Ethernet
 * depends on NET_ETHERNET
 * Enable Ethernet support via the Motorola MPC8xx serial communications controller.

"SCC used for Ethernet"
 * depends on SCC_ENET
 * default SCC1_ENET


 * Option: SCC1_ENET
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) SCC1
 * Use MPC8xx serial communications controller 1 to drive Ethernet (default).


 * Option: SCC2_ENET
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) SCC2
 * Use MPC8xx serial communications controller 2 to drive Ethernet.


 * Option: SCC3_ENET
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) SCC3
 * Use MPC8xx serial communications controller 3 to drive Ethernet.


 * Option: FEC_ENET
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) 860T FEC Ethernet
 * depends on NET_ETHERNET
 * Enable Ethernet support via the Fast Ethernet Controller (FCC) on the Motorola MPC8260.


 * Option: USE_MDIO
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) Use MDIO for PHY configuration
 * depends on FEC_ENET
 * On some boards the hardware configuration of the ethernet PHY can be used without any software interaction over the MDIO interface, so all MII code can be omitted. Say N here if unsure or if you don't need link status reports.


 * Option:  FEC_AM79C874
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) Support AMD79C874 PHY
 * depends on USE_MDIO


 * Option: FEC_LXT970
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) Support LXT970 PHY
 * depends on USE_MDIO


 * Option: FEC_LXT971
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) Support LXT971 PHY
 * depends on USE_MDIO


 * Option: FEC_QS6612
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) Support QS6612 PHY
 * depends on USE_MDIO


 * Option: ENET_BIG_BUFFERS
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) Use Big CPM Ethernet Buffers
 * depends on SCC_ENET || FEC_ENET
 * Allocate large buffers for MPC8xx Ethernet. Increases throughput and decreases the likelihood of dropped packets, but costs memory.


 * Option: HTDMSOUND
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) Embedded Planet HIOX Audio
 * depends on SOUND=y


 * This doesn't really belong here, but it is convenient to ask
 * 8xx specific questions.

"Generic MPC8xx Options"


 * Option: 8xx_COPYBACK
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) Copy-Back Data Cache (else Writethrough)
 * Saying Y here will cause the cache on an MPC8xx processor to be used in Copy-Back mode. If you say N here, it is used in Writethrough mode.
 * If in doubt, say Y here.


 * Option: 8xx_CPU6
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) CPU6 Silicon Errata (860 Pre Rev. C)
 * MPC860 CPUs, prior to Rev C have some bugs in the silicon, which require workarounds for Linux (and most other OSes to work). If you get a BUG very early in boot, this might fix the problem.  For more details read the document entitled "MPC860 Family Device Errata Reference" on Motorola's website.  This option also incurs a performance hit.
 * If in doubt, say N here.

"Microcode patch selection"
 * default NO_UCODE_PATCH
 * Help not implemented yet, coming soon.


 * Option: NO_UCODE_PATCH
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) None


 * Option: USB_SOF_UCODE_PATCH
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) USB SOF patch
 * Help not implemented yet, coming soon.


 * Option: I2C_SPI_UCODE_PATCH
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) I2C/SPI relocation patch
 * Help not implemented yet, coming soon.


 * Option: I2C_SPI_SMC1_UCODE_PATCH
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) I2C/SPI/SMC1 relocation patch
 * Help not implemented yet, coming soon.


 * Option: UCODE_PATCH
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off)
 * default y
 * depends on !NO_UCODE_PATCH
