  This file contains status information for the port of U-Boot to the
  Galileo Evaluation Board.

  The support for the Galileo Evaluation board is fairly minimal now.
  It's sufficient to boot Linux, but doesn't provide too much more than
  what's required to do this.
  
  Both DUART channels are supported (to use the second one, you have to
  modify the board -- see the schematics for where to solder on the
  devices module).  The ethernet ports are supported, and the MPSC is
  supported as a console driver. (keep in mind that the kernel has no
  support for this yet)
  
  There are still occaisonal lockups with the MPSC console driver due to
  (we think!) overrun problems.  If you're looking for something stable
  to use for Linux development, consider sticking with the DUART console
  for now.
  
  Automatic memory sizing mostly works.  We've had problems with some
  combinations of memory.  Please send us email if you're having trouble
  with respect to the memory detection.
  
  Right now, only the 512k boot flash is supported.  Support for the
  16MB flash on the devices module is forthcoming.  Right now the flash
  is stored at the 256k boundry in flash, wasting a whole sector (64k!)
  for environment data.  This isn't really a big deal since we're not
  using the 512k for anything else. (Just U-Boot and the environment)
  
  Finally, here is a sample output session:
  
  U-Boot 1.0.0-pre1 (Jun  6 2001 - 12:45:11)
  
  Initializing...
    CPU:   MPC7400 (altivec enabled) v2.9
    Board: EVB64260
    DRAM:  256 MB
    FLASH: 512 kB
    In:    serial
    Out:   serial
    Err:   serial
  
  =>
  
  The default configuration should be correct for the evaluation board,
  as it's shipped from Galileo.  Keep in mind that the default baudrate
  is set to 38400, 8N1.
  
  Good luck, and make sure to send any bugreports to us (or the
  u-boot-users list).
