NOTES:

|
||||
1. The two configurations different only in that one builds for
|
||||
execution from FLASH and the other for execution from RAM. A
|
||||
bootloader of some kind is required to support execution from RAM!
|
||||
This difference is reflected in a single configuration setting:
|
||||
execution entirely from FLASH and the other for execution entirely
|
||||
from RAM. A bootloader of some kind is required to support such
|
||||
execution from RAM! This difference is reflected in a single
|
||||
configuration setting:
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_BOOT_RUNFROMFLASH=y # Execute from flash (default)
|
||||
CONFIG_BOOT_RUNFROMEXTSRAM=y # Execute from external SRAM
|
||||
|
||||
A third configuration is possible but not formalized with its own
|
||||
defconfig file: You can also configure the code to boot from FLASH,
|
||||
copy the code to external SRAM, and then execute from RAM. Such a
|
||||
configuration needs the following settings in the .config file:
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_BOOT_RUNFROMEXTSRAM=y # Execute from external SRAM
|
||||
CONFIG_MAKERLISP_COPYTORAM=y # Boot from FLASH but copy to SRAM
|
||||
|
||||
Why execute from SRAM at all? Because you will get MUCH better
|
||||
performance because of the zero wait state SRAM implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
2. A serial console is provided on UART0. This configuration should work
|
||||
with or without the the VGA and Keyboard adapter boards. Normal
|

connectivity is via host serical console connected through the USB

2019-06-17: The SD initialization was due to some error in the SPI driver:
|
||||
It waits for a byte transfer to complete but it never receives the
|
||||
indication that the transfer completed. That SPI problem has been
|
||||
fixed and now the SD card is partially functional.
|
||||
|
||||
Reads from the SD are successful, but writes to the SD card (creating
|
||||
files, creating directories, etc) hang.
|
||||
fixed and now the SD card is functional.

2019-06-18: The RTC now appears to be fully functional.
