Limitations & comments ---------------------- -I assume that you set board to BIG endian! -Little endian not tested, most probably broken. +Support was originally big endian only. +I have not tested, but several u-boot users report working +configurations in little endian mode.

I named the board dbau1x00, to allow support for all three development boards -some day ( dbau1000, dbau1100 and dbau1500 ). +( dbau1000, dbau1100 and dbau1500 ). +Now there is a new board called dbau1550 also, which +should be supported RSN.

-I only have a dbau1000, so all testing is limited -to this board! +I only have a dbau1000, so my testing is limited +to this board.

The board has two different flash banks, that can be selected via dip switch. This makes it possible to test new bootloaders without thrashing the YAMON -boot loader deliviered with board. +boot loader delivered with board. + +NOTE! When you switch between the two boot flashes, the +base addresses will be swapped. +Have this in mind when you compile u-boot. TEXT_BASE has +to match the address where u-boot is located when you +actually launch.

Ethernet only supported for mac0.

-Pcmcia only supported for slot 0, only 3.3V. +PCMCIA only supported for slot 0, only 3.3V.

-Pcmcia IDE tested with Sandisk Compact Flash and +PCMCIA IDE tested with Sandisk Compact Flash and IBM microdrive.

This is probably due to an error in Au1000 chip.
