Choice #1 does not enable CONFIG_PCI, and assumes that the PCI slot
will be left empty (M66EN high), and so the board will operate with
-a base clock of 66MHz. Note that you need both PCI enabled in u-boot
+a base clock of 66MHz. Note that you need both PCI enabled in u-boot
and linux in order to have functional PCI under linux.
The second enables PCI support and builds for a 33MHz clock rate. Note
to reflect a different CCB:SYSCLK ratio]
The third option builds PCI support in, and leaves the clocking at the
-default 66MHz. Options four and five are just repeats of option two
+default 66MHz. Options four and five are just repeats of option two
and three, but with PCI-e support enabled as well.
PCI output listing with an intel e1000 PCI-x and a Syskonnect SK-9Exx
-is shown below for sbc8548_PCI_66_PCIE_config. (Note that PCI-e with
+is shown below for sbc8548_PCI_66_PCIE_config. (Note that PCI-e with
a 33MHz PCI configuration is currently untested.)

+Memory Size and using SPD:
+==========================
+
+The default configuration uses hard coded memory configuration settings
+for 256MB of DDR2 @400MHz. It does not by default use the DDR2 SPD
+EEPROM data to read what memory is installed.
+
+There is a hardware errata, which causes the older local bus SDRAM
+SPD EEPROM to land at the same address as the DDR2 SPD EEPROM, so
+that the SPD data can not be read reliably. You can test if your
+board has the errata fix by running "i2c probe". If you see 0x53
+as a valid device, it has been fixed. If you only see 0x50, 0x51
+then your board does not have the fix.
+
+You can also visually inspect the board to see if this hardware
+fix has been applied:
+
+ 1) Remove R314 (RES-R0174-033, 1K, 0603). R314 is located on
+ the back of the PCB behind the DDR SDRAM SODIMM connector.
+ 2) Solder RES-R0174-033 (1K, 0603) resistor from R314 pin 2 pad
+ to R313 pin 2. Pin 2 for each resistor is the end of the
+ resistor closest to the CPU.
+
+Boards without the mod will have R314 and R313 in parallel, like "||".
+After the mod, they will be touching and form an "L" shape.
+
+If you want to upgrade to larger RAM size, you can simply enable
+ #define CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
+ #define CONFIG_DDR_SPD
+in include/configs/sbc8548.h file. (The lines are already there
+but listed as #undef).
+
+If you did the i2c test, and your board does not have the errata
+fix, then you will have to physically remove the LBC 128MB DIMM
+from the board's socket to resolve the above i2c address overlap
+issue and allow SPD autodetection of RAM to work.
