I have a question about the procedure
ddr_enable_ecc()
included in the U-Boot build only if
CONFIG_DDR_ECC is defined
CONFIG_ECC_INIT_VIA_DDRCONTROLLER is not defined
The routine is found in file
./cpu/mpc85xx/spd_sdram.c
so is for the 8540 and 8560 products.
Most of the work in the routine seems to concern programming the DMA registers rather than setting the DDR "enable" flag.
Why is this DMA configuration an essential step when ECC is used and apparently not necessary when it is not used? I cant see the link between the two.
Thanks,
Charles.
