   2SPEAr (Structured Processor Enhanced Architecture).
   3
   4SPEAr600 is also known as SPEArPlus and SPEAr300 is also known as SPEArBasic
   5
   6The SPEAr SoC family embeds a customizable logic that can be programmed
   7one-time by a customer at silicon mask level (i.e. not at runtime!).
   8
   9U-Boot supports four SoCs: SPEAr600, SPEAr3xx
  10
  11All 4 SoCs (SPEAr3xx and SPEAr600) share common peripherals. SPEAr300 and
  12SPEAr600 do not have EMI.
  13
  141. ARM926ejs core based (sp600 has two cores, the 2nd handled only in Linux)
  152. FastEthernet (sp600 has Gbit version, but same controller - GMAC)
  163. USB Host
  174. USB Device
  185. NAND controller (FSMC)
  196. Serial NOR ctrl
  207. I2C
  218. SPI
  229. CLCD
  2310. others ..
  24
  25Everything is supported in Linux.
  26u-boot is currently not supporting all peripeharls (just a few as listed below).
  271. USB Device
  282. NAND controller (FSMC)
  293. Serial Memory Interface
  304. EMI (Parallel NOR interface)
  314. I2C
  325. UART

  34Build options
  35        make spear320_config
  36                spear320 build with environment variables placed at default
  37                location i.e. Serial NOR device
  38        make spear320_pnor_config
  39                This option generates a uboot image that supports emi controller
  40                for CFI compliant parallel NOR flash. Environment variables are
  41                placed in Parallel NOR device
  42        make spear320_nand_config
  43                spear320 build with environment variables placed in NAND device
  44        make spear320_usbtty_config
  45                spear320 build with usbtty terminal as default and environment
  46                placed at default location
  47        make spear320_usbtty_pnor_config
  48                spear320 build with usbtty terminal as default and environment
  49                placed in pnor device
  50        make spear320_usbtty_nand_config
  51                Build with usbtty terminal as default and environment placed in
  52                NAND device
  53        make spear300_config
  54        make spear300_nand_config
  55        make spear300_usbtty_config
  56        make spear300_usbtty_nand_config

  63        make spear600_config
  64        make spear600_nand_config

  68Mac id storage and retrieval in spear platforms
  69
  70Please read doc/README.enetaddr for the implementation guidelines for mac id
  71usage. Basically, environment has precedence over board specific storage. The
  72ethaddr beeing used for the network interface is always taken only from
  73environment variables. Although, we can check the mac id programmed in i2c
  74memory by using chip_config command
