The SL11RIDE is a low cost, high speed Universal Serial Bus RISC based Controller board. It contains a
16-bit RISC processor with built in SL11RIDE ROM to greatly reduce firmware development efforts. Its
serial flash EEPROM interface offers low cost storage for USB device configuration and customer product
specific functions. New functions can be programmed into the I2C by downloading it from a USB Host
PC. This unique architecture provides the ability to upgrade products, in the field, without changing the
peripheral hardware.
CFE contains the following important features:
* Easy to port to new SB1250/BCM1480 designs
* Initializes CPUs, caches, memory controllers, and peripherals
* Built-in device drivers for SB1250 SOC peripherals
* Several console choices, including serial ports, ROM
emulators, JTAG, etc.
* Environment storage in NV EEPROM, flash, etc.
* Supports big or little endian operation
* Supports 32-bit and 64-bit processors
* Support for network bootstrap. Network protocols supported
include IP,ARP,ICMP,UDP,DHCP,TFTP.
* Support for disk bootstrap.
* Provides an external API for boot loaders and startup programs
* Simple user interface. UI is easy to remove for embedded apps.
This book is for someone who wants to quickly master the basics of how to install, run, and
maintain Linux on an Intel-based personal computer. All of the tools you need are included.
Your computer should have a monitor, or display, keyboard, mouse, hard drive, floppy drive,
and CD-ROM drive. Although you can jump right in and install Linux onto your hard drive,
you should have some technical information about your computer and its hardware on hand
before you start.
