+
+1.  Introduction
+----------------
+This document accompanies OMAP(TM) Software Release L24.0.13 for Linux 2.6.31
+on OMAP4430 VPOM4430_1.09a_Patch33. The document specifies:
+	- Instructions for unpacking the release
+	- New features and features the release supports
+	- Planned future features
+	- Postponed features
+
+
+2. Release Summary
+------------------
+This is a Linux Baseport Release for SDP4430 on Virtio.
+The kernel is based on Linux-omap version 2.6.31 from open source.
+U-boot is based on open-source version 1.1.4.
+
+The u-boot source can be obtained via GIT from:
+  http://git.omapzoom.org/?p=repo/u-boot.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/omap4_dev
+
+The kernel source can be obtained via GIT from:
+  http://dev.omapzoom.org/?p=integration/kernel-omap4.git;a=summary
+	L24.0.13 branch
+Virtio version used: VPOM4430_1.09a + VPOM4430_1.09a_Patch33.var
+
+All drivers planned for this release are working as expected and
+overall platform stability is good.
+
+Current L24.0.13 support:
+	UART with DMA support,SMP OS Kernel boot-up on with UART, GPTimers, McBSP,
+  McSPI, I2c, GPIO, WATCHDOG, Keypad, Phoenix PM IC, RTC, ALSA AUDIO, Neon,
+	PM - Clock framework, Clock Domain framework, Power Domain framework,
+	Shared Resource Framework, Tick suppression.
+	U-boot USB support.
+Code has been added for following drivers, but cannot be tested on Virtio:
+	Phoenix - General Purpose ADC, Battery charging.
+
+3.  Instructions
+----------------
+
+3.1 Virtio Setup
+
+This release works on VPOM4430_1.09a_Patch33.
+
+
+3.2 Virtio Installation Instructions
+
+a. Install to C:\Virtio
+b. Once installation for virtio is started, you will be prompted for
+   installation
+   for virtual serial port. Say yes to it and give a port number (say 5 or 6).
+   Multiple serial ports can also be installed.
+c. Install C:\Virtio\Shared\Disassembler\Setup\VirtioDisassembler.exe.
+   This is to enable debugging using virtio.
+d. License for virtio has to be set in the environment variables
+   LM_LICENSE_FILE.
+e. Install VPOM4430_1.09a_Patch33.
+
+
+3.3 Virtio Configuration Instructions
+
+Run virtio and if modify the following parameters
+
+a. On some versions SSM is generating error due to illegal instruction fetch.
+   To workaround this you can disable SsmDisableSecurity user parameter.
+   Params->User Parameters-> SsmDisableSecurity = yes
+   Right click on SsmDisableSecurity parameter and change properties to editable
+   mode. Then you can set this parameter to Yes. Default value is no.
+b. If IVAHD is enabled the image boot up takes lot of time. If IVAHD component
+   is not required it can be disabled.
+   Browse to VPOM4430::SDP::OMAP4430::TIOMAP4CORES and disable all the enabled
+   components under it
+c. Open the Params tab and look at the User Parameters. Set the UARTx_COM_PORT
+   to the virtual port number you had provided while installation.
+d. Both CPU cores support has been enabled.
+e. L2 Cache is not enabled in software. This requires the cache to be turned
+   off in the Virtio parameter list too. For this browse to
+   VPOM4430::SDP::OMAP4430::CPU_SS::Cortex_1 and set the CacheDisabled parameter
+   to true. Browse to VPOM4430::SDP::OMAP4430::CPU_SS::Cortex_2 and set the
+   CacheDisabled parameter to true.Also browse to
+   VPOM4430::SDP::OMAP4430::CPU_SS::pl310_cache and set the CacheDisabled
+   parameter to true.
+f. Once booted with two CPU, you can see two penguins on LCD instead on one.
+   Linux kernel shows one penguin per CPU.
+
+3.4 Compiling U-Boot
+
+Set the environment variable PATH such that cross compile binaries point to the
+needed tool chain. Refer to section 5 for tool chain information.
+
+To select the default configuration for U-Boot type:
+	# make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- omap4430sdp_config
+
+To build the U-Boot image type:
+	# make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
+
+3.5 Compiling X-Loader
+
+Not yet supported
+
+3.6 Compiling the Kernel
+
+Set the environment variable PATH such that cross-compile binaries point to the
+needed tool chain. Refer to section 5 for tool chain information.
+
+The default configuration file for Virtio4430 is present at
+arch/arm/configs/omap_4430sdp_defconfig.
+
+To work with the default configuration file, run following commands:
+	# make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
+					omap_4430sdp_defconfig
+
+Build kernel with:
+	# make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- uImage
+
+NOTE:	The above steps will create arch/arm/boot/uImage in the kernel directory
+	which is the binary used for booting.
+
+Filesystem:
+NFS file system is not yet supported. Use ramdisk instead.
+The default configuration for ramdisk is in the 4430 defconfig.
+	Load address = 0x81600000
+	Default size = 20MB
+
+
+3.7 Running U-Boot boot loader on RAM
+
+Go to the design tab. Open Scripts-> configs/Native Apps/Native Apps.script.
+Replace it as shown below.
+Then launch HyperTerminal and connect to the virtual serial port installed.
+(e.g. COM5).
+Now choose Native Apps in the configuration tabs at the top and select run.
+The SDP4430 U-Boot prompt will appear in your terminal emulation program.

+------------------------- [End of Native Apps.script]---------------------------
+
+3.8 Running Linux kernel
+
+The kernel binary used will be arch/arm/boot/uImage.
+
+
+3.8.1 Loading the kernel image via Virtio
+Note that the new NativeApp.script can load the kernel image & file sytem
+image.
+
+Just give below command on u-boot prompt.
+	bootm  0x80300000
+You should see the kernel booting and ramdisk getting loaded in a few seconds
+
+3.8.2 Loading the kernel image via Trace32
+
+Launch the T32. If console window is already running t32.cmm script is
+automatically run and you will be attached to the system. If not you will have
+to manually run t32.cmm script file.
+Break the system through t32
+Use the following commands from T32 window to load up the kernel image and
+file system
+	Data.load.binary <your Image path>/Image 0x80300000
+	Data.load.binary <your ramdisk path> 0x81600000
+        r r15=0x80e80054
+
+Select 'go' in the T32 window
+Go to the hyper terminal and execute the following
+
+>bootm  0x80300000
+
+You should see the kernel booting and ramdisk getting loaded in a few seconds
+
+NOTE: The kernel binary used is arch/arm/boot/uImage and
+      not arch/arm/boot/Image.
