24ee89b9 11This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
e86e5a07
WD
12Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
c609719b
WD
16
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
24ee89b9
WD
18the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
c609719b
WD
20support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.
28
29
30Status:
31=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
24ee89b9 34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
c609719b
WD
35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

222Software Configuration:
223=======================
224
225Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
226rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
227
228There are two classes of configuration variables:
229
230* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
231 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
232 "CONFIG_".
233
234* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
235 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
236 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 237 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
238
239Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
240identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
241do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
242links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
243as an example here.
244
245
246Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
247---------------------------------------------------
248
249For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
250configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
251
252Example: For a TQM823L module type:
253
254 cd u-boot
255 make TQM823L_config
256
11ccc33f 257For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
c609719b
WD
258e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
259directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
260
261
262Configuration Options:
263----------------------
264
265Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
266such information is kept in a configuration file
267"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
268
269Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
270"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
271
272
7f6c2cbc
WD
273Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
274kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
275build a config tool - later.
276

342 of relying on the correctness of the configured
343 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
344 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
345 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz

352
66412c63 353- 85xx CPU Options:
ffd06e02
YS
354 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
355
356 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
357 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
358 compliance, among other possible reasons.
359
66412c63
KG
360 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
361
362 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
363 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ

369 tree nodes for the given platform.
370
afa6b551
PK
371 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
372
373 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
374 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
375 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
376 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
377 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
378 purpose.
379
33eee330
SW
380 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
381
382 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
383 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
384 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
385
386 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
387 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
388
389 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
390 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
391
392 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
393 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
394 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
395 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
396
397 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
398 this erratum.
399

501 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
502
503 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
504 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
505 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
506 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
507 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
508 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
509 Linux kernel.
c609719b 510 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 511 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

553 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
554 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
555 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
556 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
557 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
558 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

700- Console Rx buffer length
701 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
702 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
2b3f12c2 703 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
c92fac91
HS
704 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
705 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
706 the SMC.

9558b48a 708- Pre-Console Buffer:
4cf2609b
WD
709 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
710 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
711 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
712 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
713 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
714 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
715 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 716 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
717 earlier bytes are discarded.
718
719 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
720 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

722- Safe printf() functions
723 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
724 the printf() functions. These are defined in
725 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
726 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
727 If this option is not given then these functions will
728 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
729 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.

762 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c
WD
763 The value of these goes into the environment as
764 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
765 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 766 RAM and NFS.

768- Pre-Boot Commands:
769 CONFIG_PREBOOT
770
771 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
772 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
773 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
774 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
775 entering interactive mode.
776
777 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
778 automatically generated or modified. For an example
779 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
780 modified when the user holds down a certain
781 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
782 booting the systems
783
784- Serial Download Echo Mode:
785 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
786 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
787 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
788 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
789 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
790 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
791 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

919 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 920 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
921 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
922 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
923 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
924 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
925 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
926 initial stack and some data.

931- Regular expression support:
932 CONFIG_REGEX
933 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
934 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
935 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
936 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
937
45ba8077
SG
938- Device tree:
939 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
940 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
941 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
942 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
943 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
944 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
945
2c0f79e4
SG
946 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
947 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
948
949 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
950 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
951 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
952 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
953 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
954 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 955
2c0f79e4
SG
956 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
957 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
958 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
959 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
960
961 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
962
963 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
964 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
965 still use the individual files if you need something more
966 exotic.
967
c609719b
WD
968- Watchdog:
969 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
970 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
971 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
972 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
973 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
974 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
975 available, then no further board specific code should
976 be needed to use it.
977
978 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
979 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
980 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
981 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
c609719b 982
c1551ea8
SR
983- U-Boot Version:
984 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
985 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
986 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
987 version as printed by the "version" command.
a1ea8e51
BT
988 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
989 next reset.

c609719b
WD
1025- Timestamp Support:
1026
43d9616c
WD
1027 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1028 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1029 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 1030 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .

1283 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1284 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
11ccc33f 1285 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
16c8d5e7
WD
1286 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1287 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
386eda02 1288 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a

1351- ULPI Layer Support:
1352 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1353 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1354 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1355 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1356 viewport is supported.
1357 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1358 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
6d365ea0
LS
1359 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1360 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1361 the appropriate value in Hz.

1399 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1400 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1401
ea2453d5
PA
1402 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1403 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1404 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1405 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1406 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1407 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

1586 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1587
1588 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1589 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1590 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1591 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1592 a per-section basis.

7152b1d0 1610- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1611
8bde7f77
WD
1612 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1613 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1614 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1615 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1616 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1617 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1618 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1619 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1620
c0880485
NK
1621 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1622
1623 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1624 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1625 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1626 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1627 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1628 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1629 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1630 there is no need to set this option.
1631
1ca298ce
MW
1632 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1633
1634 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1635 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1636 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1637 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1638 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1639 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1640
1641 Example:
1642 setenv splashpos m,m
1643 => image at center of screen
1644
1645 setenv splashpos 30,20
1646 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1647
1648 setenv splashpos -10,m
1649 => vertically centered image
1650 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

SR
1652- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1653
1654 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1655 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1656 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1657
d5011762
AG
1658- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1659
1660 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1661 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1662 bmp command.
1663

1664- Do compresssing for memory range:
1665 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1666
1667 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1668 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1669
c29fdfc1
WD
1670- Compression support:
1671 CONFIG_BZIP2
1672
1673 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1674 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1675 compressed images are supported.
1676
42d1f039 1677 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1678 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1679 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1680
fc9c1727
LCM
1681 CONFIG_LZMA
1682
1683 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1684 images is included.
1685
1686 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1687 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1688 formula:
1689
1690 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1691
1692 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1693 and Literal pos bits.
1694
1695 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1696 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1697 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1698 a very small buffer.
1699
1700 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1701 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1702 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

1715 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1716 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1717
1718 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1719
1720 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1721 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1722 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1723 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1724
1725 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1726

WD
1788- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1789 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1790
1791 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1792 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1793 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1794 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1795 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1796 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1797 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1798 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1799 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1800
1801 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1802 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1803 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec

1850 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1851
1852 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1853 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1854 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1855 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1856 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1857 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1858 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1859 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1860 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1861 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1862 this delay.

1864 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1865 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1866 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.

1914- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1915
1916 Several configurations allow to display the current
1917 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1918 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1919 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1920 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1921 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1922 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1923 feature in U-Boot.
1924
1925- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1926
1927 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1928 on those systems that support this (optional)
1929 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

1931- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
1932
1933 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
1934 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
1935 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
1936 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
1937 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
1938 interface.

1960 bus.
1961 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define
1962 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset
1963 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and
1964 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SLAVE for the slave address of the
1965 second bus.

HS
1977 additional defines:
1978
1979 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
1980 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
1981 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
1982 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
1983 omit this define.
1984
1985 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
1986 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
1987 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
1988 omit this define.
1989
1990 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
1991 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
1992 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
1993 define.
1994
1995 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
1996 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
1997 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
1998 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
1999 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2000
2001 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2002 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2003 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2004 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2005 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2006 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2007 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2008 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2009 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2010 }

ea818dbb 2025- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
3f4978c7
HS
2026
2027 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2028 provides the following compelling advantages:
2029
2030 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2031 - approved multibus support
2032 - better i2c mux support
2033
2034 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2035
ea818dbb
HS
2036 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2037 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2038 for the selected CPU.
c609719b 2039
945af8d7 2040 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 2041 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
2042 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2043 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 2044 command line interface.
c609719b 2045
bb99ad6d 2046 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 2047
945af8d7 2048 There are several other quantities that must also be
ea818dbb 2049 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2050
6d0f6bcf 2051 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 2052 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 2053 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 2054 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 2055
8d321b81 2056 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 2057 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
2058 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2059 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2060 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 2061
5da71efa
EM
2062 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2063
2064 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2065 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2066 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2067 commands until the slave device responds.
2068
945af8d7 2069 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2070
ea818dbb 2071 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
b37c7e5e
WD
2072 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2073 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
2074
2075 I2C_INIT
2076
b37c7e5e 2077 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 2078 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 2079
ba56f625 2080 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 2081
c609719b
WD
2082 I2C_PORT
2083
43d9616c
WD
2084 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2085 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2086 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
2087
2088 I2C_ACTIVE
2089
2090 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2091 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2092 define can be null.
2093
b37c7e5e
WD
2094 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2095
c609719b
WD
2096 I2C_TRISTATE
2097
2098 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2099 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2100 define can be null.
2101
b37c7e5e
WD
2102 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2103
c609719b
WD
2104 I2C_READ
2105
472d5460
YS
2106 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2107 false if it is low.
c609719b 2108
b37c7e5e
WD
2109 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2110
c609719b
WD
2111 I2C_SDA(bit)
2112
472d5460
YS
2113 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2114 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2115
b37c7e5e 2116 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 2117 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 2118 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 2119
c609719b
WD
2120 I2C_SCL(bit)
2121
472d5460
YS
2122 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2123 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2124
b37c7e5e 2125 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 2126 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
ba56f625 2127 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
b37c7e5e 2128
c609719b
WD
2129 I2C_DELAY
2130
2131 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2132 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2133 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
2134 like:
2135
b37c7e5e 2136 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 2137
793b5726
MF
2138 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2139
2140 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2141 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2142 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2143 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2144
2145 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2146 the generic GPIO functions.
2147
6d0f6bcf 2148 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 2149
8bde7f77
WD
2150 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2151 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2152 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2153 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2154 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2155 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2156 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2157 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 2158
26a33504
RR
2159 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2160
2161 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2162 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2163 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2164 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2165 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2166 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2167 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2168 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2169
17ea1177
WD
2170 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2171
2172 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2173 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2174 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2175
bb99ad6d
BW
2176 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2177
2178 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
2179 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2180 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d

2181 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2182
6d0f6bcf 2183 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
2184
2185 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 2186 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
2187 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2188 a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d

2200
6d0f6bcf 2201 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
2202
2203 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2204 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2205
6d0f6bcf 2206 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2207
2208 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.

2210
6d0f6bcf 2211 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2212
2213 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.

2223
2224 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2225 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2226 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2227 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2228 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2229 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2230 the other.

2232- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2233
2234 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2235 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2236 D/As on the SACSng board)
2237
6639562e
YS
2238 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2239
2240 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2241 only SH7757 is supported.
2242
c609719b
WD
2243 CONFIG_SPI_X
2244
2245 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2246 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2247
2248 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2249
43d9616c
WD
2250 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2251 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2252 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2253 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2254 defined, the board configuration must define several
2255 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2256 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
c609719b 2257
04a9e118
BW
2258 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2259
2260 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2261 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2262 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
c0f40859 2263 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
04a9e118

2266 CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2267
2268 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2e3cd1cd 2269 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.

2285 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2286
2287 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
c609719b 2288
6d0f6bcf 2289 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
c609719b 2290
8bde7f77 2291 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.

6d0f6bcf 2293 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
c609719b 2294
43d9616c
WD
2295 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2296 status by the configuration function. This option
2297 will require a board or device specific function to
2298 be written.
c609719b
WD
2299
2300 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2301
2302 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2303 configuration driver.
2304
6d0f6bcf 2305 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
c609719b

2307
6d0f6bcf 2308 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
c609719b 2309
43d9616c
WD
2310 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2311 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2312 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2313 indicated a CRC error).

6d0f6bcf 2315 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
c609719b 2316
43d9616c
WD
2317 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
2318 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II

11ccc33f 2320 ms.
c609719b 2321
6d0f6bcf 2322 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
c609719b 2323
43d9616c 2324 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
11ccc33f 2325 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
c609719b 2326
6d0f6bcf 2327 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
c609719b 2328
43d9616c 2329 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
11ccc33f 2330 200 ms.

2331
2332- Configuration Management:
2333 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2334
43d9616c
WD
2335 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2336 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2337
2338- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2339
43d9616c
WD
2340 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2341 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2342 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2343 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2344 protects these variables from casual modification by
2345 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2346 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2347 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2348
2349 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2350 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2351 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2352 these parameters.
2353
2354 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2355 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2356 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2357 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2358 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2359 read-only.]
2360
2598090b
JH
2361 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2362 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2363 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2364 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2365
c609719b
WD
2366- Protected RAM:
2367 CONFIG_PRAM
2368
2369 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2370 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2371 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2372 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2373 this default value by defining an environment
2374 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2375 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2376 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2377 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2378 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2379 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2380 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2381
fe126d8b 2382 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2383 saveenv
2384
2385 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2386 either, which results in a memory region that will
2387 not be affected by reboots.
2388
2389 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2390 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2391 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2392 following board configurations are known to be
2393 "pRAM-clean":
2394
1b0757ec
WD
2395 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2396 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,

c609719b 2398
40fef049
GB
2399- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2400 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2401 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2402 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2403 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2404 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2405 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2406
c609719b
WD
2407- Error Recovery:
2408 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2409
2410 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2411 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2412 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2413 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2414 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2415 useful during development since you can try to debug
2416 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2417
2418 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2419
43d9616c
WD
2420 This variable defines the number of retries for
2421 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2422 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2423 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2424

GL
2425 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2426
2427 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2428
48a3e999
TK
2429 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2430
2431 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2432 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2433 try longer timeout such as
2434 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2435
c609719b 2436- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2437 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
04a85b3b
WD
2438
2439 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2440
a9398e01

2441 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2442 for the "hush" shell.
8078f1a5
WD
2443
2444
6d0f6bcf 2445 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2446
2447 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2448 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2449 powerful command line syntax like
2450 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2451 constructs ("shell scripts").
2452
2453 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2454 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2455
2456
6d0f6bcf 2457 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2458
2459 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2460 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2461 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2462
2463 Note:
2464
8bde7f77
WD
2465 In the current implementation, the local variables
2466 space and global environment variables space are
2467 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2468 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2469 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2470 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2471 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2472
43d9616c
WD
2473 Global environment variables are those you use
2474 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2475 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2476 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2477
2478 To store commands and special characters in a
2479 variable, please use double quotation marks
2480 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2481 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2482 symbols.

2484- Commandline Editing and History:
2485 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING

11ccc33f 2487 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
b9365a26 2488 commandline input operations
aa0c71ac 2489
a8c7c708 2490- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2491 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2492
43d9616c
WD
2493 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2494 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2495 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2496
43d9616c
WD
2497 For example, place something like this in your
2498 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2499
2500 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2501 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2502 "myvar2=value2\0"
2503
43d9616c
WD
2504 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2505 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2506 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2507 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2508 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2509 You better know what you are doing here.
2510
43d9616c
WD
2511 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2512 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2513 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2514 boot command first.
c609719b 2515

SW
2516 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2517
2518 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2519 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2520 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2521
2522 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2523
2524 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2525 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2526 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2527 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2528 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2529
7e27f89f
TR
2530 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2531
2532 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2533 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2534 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2535
06fd8538
SG
2536 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2537
2538 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2539 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2540 that so that the environment is not available until
2541 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2542 this is instead controlled by the value of
2543 /config/load-environment.
2544
a8c7c708 2545- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2546 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2547
8bde7f77
WD
2548 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2549 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2550 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2551
f61ec45e
EN
2552- Serial Flash support
2553 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2554
2555 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2556 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2557
2558 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2559 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2560 commands.
2561
2562 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2563 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2564 flash is present on the system.
2565
2566 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2567 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2568 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2569 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2570
24007273
SG
2571 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2572
2573 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2574 test ('sf test').
2575
1dcd6d03
JT
2576 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2577
2578 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2579 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2580
3f85ce27
WD
2581- SystemACE Support:
2582 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2583
2584 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2585 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2586 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2587 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2588
2589 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2590 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2591
2592 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2593 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2594
ecb0ccd9
WD
2595- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2596 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2597
28cb9375 2598 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2599 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2600 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2601 number generator is used.
2602
28cb9375
WD
2603 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2604 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2605 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2606
2607 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2608 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2609 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2610 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2611 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2612 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2613 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2614
bf36c5d5
SG
2615- Hashing support:
2616 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2617
2618 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2619 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2620
2621 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2622
2623 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2624 size a little.
2625
2626 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2627 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2628
2629 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2630 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2631
19c402af
SG
2632- Signing support:
2633 CONFIG_RSA
2634
2635 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2636 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2637
2638 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2639 option.
2640
2641
a8c7c708 2642- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
2643 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2644
43d9616c
WD
2645 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2646 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2647 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2648 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2649 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2650 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 2651
3a608ca0
SG
2652- Detailed boot stage timing
2653 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2654 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2655 of the boot process.
2656
2657 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2658 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2659 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2660 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2661 the limit, recording will stop.
2662
2663 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2664 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2665
2666 Timer summary in microseconds:
2667 Mark Elapsed Stage
2668 0 0 reset
2669 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2670 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2671 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2672 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2673 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2674 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2675 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2676
2eba38cf
SG
2677 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2678 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2679 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2680
94fd1316
SG
2681 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2682 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2683 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2684 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2685 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2686 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2687 For example:
2688
2689 bootstage {
2690 154 {
2691 name = "board_init_f";
2692 mark = <3575678>;
2693 };
2694 170 {
2695 name = "lcd";
2696 accum = <33482>;
2697 };
2698 };
2699
2700 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2885 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2886 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2887 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2888 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the

3113 Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary.
3114 It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by
3115 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
3116
74752baa 3117 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
6113d3f2
BT
3118 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3119 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3120 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3121 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3122 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
74752baa 3123
ca2fca22
SW
3124 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3125 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3126 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3127 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3128
87ebee39
SG
3129 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3130 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3131 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3132 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3133 bootm command when booting a FIT image.

3135Modem Support:
3136--------------
3137
566e5cf4 3138[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
c609719b 3139
11ccc33f 3140- Modem support enable:
c609719b
WD
3141 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3142
3143- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3144 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3145
3146- Modem debug support:
3147 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3148
43d9616c
WD
3149 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3150 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
c609719b 3151
a8c7c708
WD
3152- Interrupt support (PPC):
3153
d4ca31c4
WD
3154 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3155 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 3156 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 3157 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 3158 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 3159 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 3160 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
3161 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3162 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3163 general timer_interrupt().
a8c7c708 3164
c609719b
WD
3165- General:
3166
43d9616c
WD
3167 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3168 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3169 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
11ccc33f 3170 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
3171 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3172 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3173 initialization.
c609719b 3174
43d9616c
WD
3175 If there are no modem init strings in the
3176 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3177 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
11ccc33f 3178 suppressed, though.

3182Board initialization settings:
3183------------------------------
3184
3185During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3186to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3187before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3188following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3189architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3190typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3191
3192- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3193- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3194- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3195- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

3197Configuration Settings:
3198-----------------------
3199
6d0f6bcf 3200- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
c609719b
WD
3201 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3202
2fb2604d
PT
3203- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3204 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3205
6d0f6bcf 3206- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
c609719b
WD
3207 prompt for user input.
3208
6d0f6bcf 3209- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
c609719b 3210
6d0f6bcf 3211- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
c609719b 3212
6d0f6bcf 3213- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
c609719b 3214
6d0f6bcf 3215- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
c609719b
WD
3216 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3217 booted
3218
6d0f6bcf 3219- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b
WD
3220 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3221
6d0f6bcf 3222- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 3223 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 3224
6d0f6bcf 3225- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
3226 If the board specific function
3227 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3228 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
3229 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3230
6d0f6bcf 3231- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
8bde7f77 3232 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 3233
6d0f6bcf 3234- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
c609719b
WD
3235 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3236
6d0f6bcf 3237- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
3238 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3239 simple memory test.
3240
6d0f6bcf 3241- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
8bde7f77 3242 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
c609719b 3243
6d0f6bcf 3244- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
5f535fe1
WD
3245 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3246 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3247
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3248- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3249 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 3250 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 3251 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3252 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3253 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3254 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3255 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3256 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3257 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
3258
3259 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3260 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3261 be touched.
3262
3263 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3264 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3265 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3266 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3267 problems.
3268
6d0f6bcf 3269- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
c609719b
WD
3270 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3271
6d0f6bcf 3272- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3273 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3274
6d0f6bcf 3275- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3276 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3277 Cogent motherboard)
3278
6d0f6bcf 3279- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3280 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3281
6d0f6bcf 3282- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3283 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3284 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 3285 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 3286 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 3287
6d0f6bcf 3288- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
3289 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3290 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3291 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3292 flash sector.
c609719b 3293
6d0f6bcf 3294- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3295 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3296
6d0f6bcf 3297- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
3298 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3299 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 3300 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
3301 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3302
6d0f6bcf 3303- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
3304 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3305 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
3306 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3307 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3308 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3309 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3310 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
3311 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3312 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3313 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 3314
fca43cc8
JR
3315- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3316 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3317 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3318 is enabled.
3319
3320- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3321 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3322 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3323
3324- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3325 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3326 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3327
6d0f6bcf 3328- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
3329 Max number of Flash memory banks
3330
6d0f6bcf 3331- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
c609719b
WD
3332 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3333
6d0f6bcf 3334- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3335 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3336
6d0f6bcf 3337- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3338 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3339
6d0f6bcf 3340- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3341 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3342
6d0f6bcf 3343- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3344 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3345
6d0f6bcf 3346- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
3347 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3348 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3349
6d0f6bcf 3350- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3351
3352 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3353 without this option such a download has to be
3354 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3355 copy from RAM to flash.
3356
3357 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3358 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3359 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3360 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3361 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3362
6d0f6bcf 3363- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3364 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
3365 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3366
00b1883a 3367- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33
WD
3368 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3369 in the drivers directory
c609719b 3370
91809ed5
PZ
3371- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3372 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3373 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3374 to the MTD layer.
3375
6d0f6bcf 3376- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
3377 Use buffered writes to flash.
3378
3379- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3380 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3381 write commands.
3382
6d0f6bcf 3383- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3384 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3385 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3386 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3387 optionally available.
3388
9a042e9c
JVB
3389- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3390 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3391 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3392 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3393
352ef3f1
SR
3394- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3395 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3396 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3397 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3398 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3399 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3400 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3401 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3402
6d0f6bcf 3403- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
3404 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3405 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3406 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3407 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3408 on high Ethernet traffic.
53cf9435
SR
3409 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

3411- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3412
071bc923
WD
3413 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3414 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3415 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3416 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3417 lib/hashtable.c for details.

3421 Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when
3422 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3423 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3424 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.

JH
3447 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3448 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3449 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3450
3451 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3452 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3453 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3454 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3455 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3456 ".flags" variable.

3462- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3463 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3464 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3465 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3466 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3467 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3468 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3469 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3470 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3471
632efa74
SG
3472- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3473 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3474 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3475 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3476 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3477
0b1b60c7
LV
3478- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3479 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should

3483The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3484of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3485following configurations:
3486
c3eb3fe4
MF
3487- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3488
3489 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3490 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3491
5a1aceb0 3492- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3493
3494 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3495
3496 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3497 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3498 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3499 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3500 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3501 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3502 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3503 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3504 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3505 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3506 between U-Boot and the environment.
3507
0e8d1586 3508 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3509
3510 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3511 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3512 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3513 for this sector is given here.
3514
6d0f6bcf 3515 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3516
0e8d1586 3517 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3518
3519 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3520 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3521 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3522
0e8d1586 3523 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3524
3525 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3526
3527
3528 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3529 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for

0e8d1586 3532 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3533
5a1aceb0 3534 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3535 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3536 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3537 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3538
3539 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3540 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3541 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3542 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3543 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3544 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3545 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3546 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3547 RAM, your target system will be dead.

11ccc33f 3553 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 3554 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 3555 a "saveenv" operation.

3561
9314cee6 3562- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD
3563
3564 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3565 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3566 environment.

11ccc33f 3571 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
3572 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3573 can just be read and written to, without any special
3574 provision.
3575
3576BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3577in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3578console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3579U-Boot will hang.
3580
3581Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3582environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3583keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3584to save the current settings.

JCPV
3592 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:

3597
6d0f6bcf 3598 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b

3599 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3600 The default address is zero.
3601
6d0f6bcf 3602 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
3603 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3604 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3605 would require six bits.
3606
6d0f6bcf 3607 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 3608 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
ba56f625 3609 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
c609719b 3610
6d0f6bcf 3611 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3612 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3613 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3614
6d0f6bcf 3615 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
3616 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3617 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3618 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3619 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3620 byte chips.
3621
3622 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3623 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3624 in the chip address.
3625
6d0f6bcf 3626 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3627 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.

3631 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3632
3633 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3634 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3635 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3636 EEPROM. For example:
3637
ea818dbb 3638 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
548738b4

3660
3661 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3662 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3663
3664 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3665 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3666 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 3667 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7
LG
3668
3669BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3670"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa

3671environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3672but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
0a85a9e7 3673
51bfee19 3674- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
13a5695b

JCPV
3679 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:

3682 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
fdd813de

3683 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3684 aligned to an erase block boundary.
5779d8d9 3685
fdd813de 3686 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
e443c944 3687
0e8d1586 3688 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
3689 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3690 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 3691 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
3692 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3693
3694 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3695
3696 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3697 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3698 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3699 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3700 the range to be avoided.
3701
3702 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3703
3704 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3705 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3706 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3707 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3708 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
e443c944 3709
b74ab737
GL
3710- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3711
3712 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the

3714 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3715
2b74433f
JH
3716- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3717
3718 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3719 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3720 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3721
3722 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3723
3724 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3725
3726 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3727
3728 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3729 environment in.
3730
785881f7
JH
3731 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3732
3733 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3734 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3735 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3736
2b74433f
JH
3737 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3738 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

3741 when storing the env in UBI.
3742
06e4ae5f
SW
3743- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3744
3745 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3746 environment.
3747
3748 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3749
3750 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3751
3752 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3753
3754 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3755 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3756 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3757
3758 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3759 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3760
3761 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3762 area within the specified MMC device.
3763
5c088ee8
SW
3764 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3765 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3766 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3767 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3768 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3769 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3770 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3771
06e4ae5f
SW
3772 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3773 MMC sector boundary.
3774
3775 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3776
3777 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3778 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3779 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3780 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3781
5c088ee8
SW
3782 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3783 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3784
06e4ae5f
SW
3785 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3786 an MMC sector boundary.
3787
3788 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3789
3790 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3791 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3792 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3793
6d0f6bcf 3794- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
3795
3796 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3797 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3798 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3799 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3800 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3801 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3802 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3803
e881cb56 3804Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 3805has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 3806created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
3807until then to read environment variables.
3808
85ec0bcc
WD
3809The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3810is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3811with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3812necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3813"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3814have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
3815
3816Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3817the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 3818use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 3819
6d0f6bcf 3820- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
42d1f039 3821 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.

6d0f6bcf 3823 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
fc3e2165
WD
3824 also needs to be defined.
3825
6d0f6bcf 3826- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

3831 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3832 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3833 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3834 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

3836- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3837 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on

3839 to do this.
3840
e2e3e2b1
SG
3841- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3842 Similar to the previous option, but display this information

3861 PowerPC SOCs.
3862
3863- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3864 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3865 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3866
3867 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3868 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3869
3870- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3871 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3872 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 3873 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
3874 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3875 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3876 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3877
3878 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3879 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3880
3881- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
3882 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3883 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
3884 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3885 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3886
3887- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3888 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3889 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3890 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3891
3892- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3893 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3894 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

3922- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
3923 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
3924 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
3925 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
3926 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional

4130 The syntax is:
4131
4132 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4133

WD
4158 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4159 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4160 relocate itself into RAM.
4161
4162 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4163 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4164 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4165 these initializations itself.

4177- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4178 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4179 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4180 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4181 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4182 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4183 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4184 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

4201Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4202-----------------------------------
4203
4204The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4205loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4206This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4207are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4208within that device.
4209
4210- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4211 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4212 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4213 is also specified.
4214
4215- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4216 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4217 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4218 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4219 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4220
4221- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4222 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4223 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4224 virtual address in NOR flash.
4225
4226- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4227 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4228 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4229
4230- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4231 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4232 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4233
4234- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4235 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4236 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4237
292dc6c5
LG
4238- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4239 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4240 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
4241 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4242 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4243 master's memory space.

4245Building the Software:
4246======================
4247
218ca724
WD
4248Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4249and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4250all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4251(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4252recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4253which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 4254
218ca724
WD
4255If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4256have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4257you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4258Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4259necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 4260
218ca724
WD
4261 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4262 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 4263
2f8d396b
PT
4264Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4265 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4266 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4267 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4268
4269 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4270
4271 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4272 be executed on computers running Windows.
4273
218ca724
WD
4274U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4275sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
4276is done by typing:
4277
4278 make NAME_config
4279
218ca724 4280where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 4281rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 4282
2729af9d
WD
4283Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4284 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4285 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4286 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 4287 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
4288
4289 make TQM823L_config
4290 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4291
4292 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4293 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4294
4295 etc.
4296
4297
4298Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4299images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4300
4301- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4302- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4303- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4304
baf31249
MB
4305By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4306in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4307this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4308
43091. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4310
4311 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4312 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4313 make O=/tmp/build all
4314
43152. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4316
4317 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4318 make distclean
4319 make NAME_config
4320 make all
4321
4322Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4323variable.
4324
2729af9d
WD
4325
4326Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4327for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4328native "make".
4329
4330
4331If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4332to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4333steps:
4334
43351. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
4336 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4337 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
43382. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4339 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4340 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
43413. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4342 your board
43433. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4344 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
43454. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
43465. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4347 to be installed on your target system.
43486. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4349 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4350
4351
4352Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4353==============================================================
4354
218ca724
WD
4355If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4356or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
4357provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4358the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 4359official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 4360
218ca724
WD
4361But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4362cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of

4363the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4364just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
4365for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4366select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4367environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4368you can type
2729af9d
WD
4369
4370 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4371
4372or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4373
4374 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4375
218ca724
WD
4376When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4377U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4378setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4379built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4380<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4381location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4382variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
4383
4384 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4385 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4386 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4387
218ca724
WD
4388With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4389log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4390during the whole build process.

4453Environment Variables:
4454======================
4455
4456U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4457can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 4458
2729af9d
WD
4459Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4460"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4461without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4462environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4463working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4464environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 4465
c96f86ee
WD
4466Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4467
4468List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
c609719b 4469
2729af9d 4470 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
c609719b 4471
2729af9d 4472 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
c609719b 4473
2729af9d 4474 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 4475
2729af9d 4476 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 4477
2729af9d 4478 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 4479
7d721e34
BS
4480 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4481 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4482 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4483 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4484 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4485 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
4486 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4487 bootm_mapsize.
4488
c0f40859 4489 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
4490 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4491 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4492 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4493 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4494 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4495 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
4496
4497 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4498 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4499 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4500 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4501 environment variable.
4502
4bae9090
BS
4503 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4504 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4505 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4506
2729af9d
WD
4507 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4508 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4509 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4510 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 4511
2729af9d
WD
4512 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4513 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4514 be automatically started (by internally calling
4515 "bootm")
38b99261 4516
2729af9d
WD
4517 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4518 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4519 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4520 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4521 data.
c609719b 4522
a28afca5
DL
4523 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4524 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
4525 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4526 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4527 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4528 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4529 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4530 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4531 access it during the boot procedure.
4532
a28afca5
DL
4533 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4534 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4535 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4536 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4537 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4538 must be accessible by the kernel.
4539
eea63e05
SG
4540 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4541 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4542 defined.
4543
17ea1177
WD
4544 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4545 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4546 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4547 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4548 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4549
2729af9d
WD
4550 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4551 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4552 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4553 is usually what you want since it allows for
4554 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4555 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 4556 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
4557 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4558 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4559 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4560 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 4561
2729af9d
WD
4562 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4563 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4564 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4565 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4566 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4567 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 4568
2729af9d 4569 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 4570
2729af9d
WD
4571 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4572 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4573 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4574 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4575 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4576 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4577 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 4578
2729af9d 4579 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 4580
2729af9d
WD
4581 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4582 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
c609719b 4583
2729af9d 4584 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
a3d991bd 4585
2729af9d 4586 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
a3d991bd 4587
2729af9d 4588 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
a3d991bd 4589
2729af9d 4590 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
a3d991bd 4591
2729af9d 4592 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
c609719b 4593
e2a53458 4594 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
c609719b 4595
e2a53458
MF
4596 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4597 For example you can do the following
c609719b 4598
48690d80
HS
4599 => setenv ethact FEC
4600 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4601 => setenv ethact SCC
4602 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
c609719b 4603
e1692577
MF
4604 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4605 available network interfaces.
4606 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4607
c96f86ee 4608 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
4609 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4610 When set to "once" the network operation will
4611 fail when all the available network interfaces
4612 are tried once without success.
4613 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4614 themselves.
c609719b 4615
b4e2f89d 4616 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 4617
28cb9375 4618 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
4619 UDP source port.
4620
28cb9375
WD
4621 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4622 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4623
c96f86ee
WD
4624 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4625 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4626
4627 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4628 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4629 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4630 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4631 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4632 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4633 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4634
4635 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 4636 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 4637 VLAN tagged frames.
c609719b 4638

JH
4639The following image location variables contain the location of images
4640used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4641not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4642variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4643server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4644loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4645flash or offset in NAND flash.
4646
4647*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4648boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4649boards use these variables for other purposes.

4665 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4666 hostname - Target hostname
4667 ipaddr - see above
4668 netmask - Subnet Mask
4669 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4670 serverip - see above
c1551ea8 4671
c1551ea8 4672
2729af9d 4673There are two special Environment Variables:
c1551ea8 4674
2729af9d
WD
4675 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4676 as type string and/or serial number
4677 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4678
2729af9d
WD
4679These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4680the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4681once they have been set once.
c609719b 4682
f07771cc 4683
2729af9d 4684Further special Environment Variables:
f07771cc 4685
2729af9d
WD
4686 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4687 with the "version" command. This variable is
4688 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

4695Callback functions for environment variables:
4696---------------------------------------------
4697
4698For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4699when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4700be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4701deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4702effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4703
4704The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4705U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4706
4707These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4708static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4709in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4710associations. The list must be in the following format:
4711
4712 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4713 list = entry[,list]
4714
4715If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4716Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4717
4718Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4719with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4720override any association in the static list. You can define
4721CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4722".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

4725Command Line Parsing:
4726=====================
f07771cc 4727
2729af9d
WD
4728There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4729the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 4730
2729af9d
WD
4731Old, simple command line parser:
4732--------------------------------
c609719b 4733
2729af9d
WD
4734- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4735- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 4736- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
4737- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4738 for example:
fe126d8b 4739 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
4740- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4741 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 4742
2729af9d
WD
4743Hush shell:
4744-----------
c609719b 4745
2729af9d
WD
4746- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4747 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4748 until...do...done, ...
4749- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4750 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4751 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4752 command
4753
4754General rules:
4755--------------
c609719b 4756
2729af9d
WD
4757(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4758 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4759 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4760 executed anyway.
c609719b 4761
2729af9d 4762(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 4763 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
4764 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4765 variables are not executed.
c609719b 4766

WD
4767Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4768=======================================
c609719b 4769
11ccc33f 4770Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
4771such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4772"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 4773
2729af9d
WD
4774Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4775MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4776"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 4777
2729af9d
WD
4778If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4779in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4780ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4781variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 4782
2729af9d
WD
4783o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4784 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 4785
2729af9d
WD
4786o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4787 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4788 used.
c609719b 4789
2729af9d
WD
4790o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4791 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 4792
2729af9d

4806Image Formats:

c609719b 4808

MB
4809U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4810images in two formats:
4811
4812New uImage format (FIT)
4813-----------------------
4814
4815Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4816to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4817components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4818SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4819
4820
4821Old uImage format
4822-----------------
4823
4824Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4825preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4826details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

4847Linux Support:
4848==============
c609719b 4849
2729af9d
WD
4850Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4851easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4852U-Boot.
c609719b 4853
2729af9d
WD
4854U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4855special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4856"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4857instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4858serves several purposes:
c609719b 4859
2729af9d
WD
4860- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4861 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4862 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 4863
2729af9d
WD
4864- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4865 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 4866
2729af9d
WD
4867- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4868 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4869 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4870 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4871 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4872 software is easier now.

4875Linux HOWTO:
4876============
c609719b 4877
2729af9d
WD
4878Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4879---------------------------------------
c609719b 4880
2729af9d
WD
4881U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4882configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4883(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4884Linux :-).
c609719b 4885
a47a12be 4886But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 4887
2729af9d
WD
4888Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4889include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
4890Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4891and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 4892as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 4893
c609719b 4894
2729af9d
WD
4895Configuring the Linux kernel:
4896-----------------------------
c609719b 4897
2729af9d
WD
4898No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4899device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4900
4901
4902Building a Linux Image:
4903-----------------------
c609719b 4904
2729af9d
WD
4905With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4906not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4907"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4908U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4909which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4910100% compatible format.
4911
4912Example:
4913
4914 make TQM850L_config
4915 make oldconfig
4916 make dep
4917 make uImage
4918
4919The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4920encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4921CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4922
4923* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4924
4925* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4926
4927 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4928 -R .note -R .comment \
4929 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4930
4931* compress the binary image:
4932
4933 gzip -9 linux.bin
4934
4935* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4936
4937 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4938 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4939 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 4940
c609719b 4941
2729af9d
WD
4942The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4943with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4944combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4945byte header containing information about target architecture,
4946operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4947stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4948
4949"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4950print the header information, or to build new images.
4951
4952In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4953contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4954checksum verification:
c609719b 4955
2729af9d
WD
4956 tools/mkimage -l image
4957 -l ==> list image header information
4958
4959The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4960from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4961
4962 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4963 -n name -d data_file image
4964 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4965 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4966 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4967 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4968 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4969 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4970 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4971 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4972
69459791
WD
4973Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4974address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4975kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
4976
4977- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4978- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4979
4980So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4981
4982 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4983 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 4984 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD

4990 Load Address: 0x00000000
4991 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4992
4993To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4994
4995 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
4996 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

5000 Load Address: 0x00000000
5001 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5002
5003NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5004speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5005needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5006need to be uncompressed:
5007
a47a12be 5008 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d
WD
5009 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5010 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5011 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \

5020
5021Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5022when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5023
5024 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \

5031 Load Address: 0x00000000
5032 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5033
5034
5035Installing a Linux Image:
5036-------------------------
5037
5038To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5039you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5040
5041 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5042
5043The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5044image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5045address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5046specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5047command.
5048
5049Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5050TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5051
5052 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5053
5054 .......... done
5055 Erased 8 sectors
5056
5057 => loads 40100000
5058 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5066
5067
5068You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
218ca724 5069this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data

5087memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5088of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5089parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5090"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5091
5092
5093 => printenv bootargs

5218U-Boot supports the following image types:
5219
5220 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5221 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5222 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5223 the Standalone Program.
5224 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5225 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5226 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5227 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5228 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5229 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5230 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5231 being started.
5232 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5233 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5234 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5235 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5236 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5237 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5238
5239 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5240 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5241 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5242 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5243 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5244 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5245
5246 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5247 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5248 flash memory.
5249
5250 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5251 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5252 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5253 as command interpreter.

5255Booting the Linux zImage:
5256-------------------------
5257
5258On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5259using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5260as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5261
8ac28563 5262Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
017e1f3f
MV
5263kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5264address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5265format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5268Standalone HOWTO:
5269=================
5270
5271One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5272run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5273U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5274
5275Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5276
5277"Hello World" Demo:
5278-------------------
5279
5280'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5281application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5282It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5283like that:
5284
5285 => loads
5286 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5287 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
5288 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5289 [file transfer complete]
5290 [connected]
5291 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5292
5293 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5294 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5295 Hello World
5296 argc = 7
5297 argv[0] = "40004"
5298 argv[1] = "Hello"
5299 argv[2] = "World!"
5300 argv[3] = "This"
5301 argv[4] = "is"
5302 argv[5] = "a"
5303 argv[6] = "test."
5304 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5305 Hit any key to exit ...
5306
5307 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5308
5309Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5310handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5311Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5312The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5313character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5314controlled by the following keys:
5315
5316 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5317 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5318 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5319 q - quit application
5320
5321 => loads

5356Minicom warning:
5357================
5358
5359Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5360"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5361consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5362Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5363especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
5364use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5365http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5366for help with kermit.
5367

5368
5369Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5370configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:

5377NetBSD Notes:
5378=============
5379
5380Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5381(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5382
5383Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5384NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5385need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5386Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5387attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5388missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5389
5390 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5391 # mkdir powerpc
5392 # ln -s powerpc machine
5393 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5394 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5395
5396Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5397and U-Boot include files.
5398
5399Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5400stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5401proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5402tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 5403meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5406Implementation Internals:
5407=========================
5408
5409The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5410implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5411inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5412hardware.
5413
5414
5415Initial Stack, Global Data:
5416---------------------------
5417
5418The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5419starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5420system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5421This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5422is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5423at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5424options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5425models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5426MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5427locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5428
218ca724 5429 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 5430 U-Boot mailing list:

5435 ...
5436
5437 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5438 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5439 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5440 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5441 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 5442 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
5443 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5444 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5445
5446 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5447 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 5448 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
5449 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5450 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5451 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5452 used.
5453
6d0f6bcf 5454 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
5455 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5456 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 5457 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
5458 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5459 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5460 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5461 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5462 you get the config right.

5466
5467It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5468code for the initialization procedures:
5469
5470* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5471 to write it.
5472
11ccc33f 5473* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
5474 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5475 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5476
5477* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5478 that.
5479
5480Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5481normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5482turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5483simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5484functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5485functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5486the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5487place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5488reserve for this purpose.
5489
5490When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5491relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5492GCC's implementation.
5493
5494For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5495 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 5496 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
5497 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5498 R5-R10: parameter passing
5499 R13: small data area pointer
5500 R30: GOT pointer
5501 R31: frame pointer
5502
e6bee808
JT
5503 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5504 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5505 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 5506
e7670f6c 5507 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
5508
5509 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5510 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5511 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5512 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5513 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5514 624 text + 127 data).

5559
5560Memory Management:
5561------------------
5562
5563U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5564MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5565
5566The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5567controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5568memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5569physical memory banks.
5570
5571U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5572TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5573booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5574to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 5575memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
5576configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5577Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5578
5579Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5580of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5581
5582So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5583this:
5584
5585 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5586 :
5587 0x0000 1FFF
5588 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5589 :
5590 :
5591
5592 :
5593 :
5594 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5595 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5596 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5597 :
5598 0x00FD FFFF
5599 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5600 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5601 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5602 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5603
5604
5605System Initialization:
5606----------------------
c609719b 5607
2729af9d 5608In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 5609(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
5610configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5611To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5612To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5613initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5614which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5615part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5616the caches and the SIU.
5617
5618Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5619preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5620(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5621on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5622programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5623simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5624banks.
5625
5626When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5627different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5628bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
56290x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5630contiguous memory starting from 0.
5631
5632Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5633and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5634Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5635pages, and the final stack is set up.
5636
5637Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5638until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5639running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5640new address in RAM.

5717Coding Standards:
5718-----------------
c609719b 5719
2729af9d 5720All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
2c051651 5721coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
7ca9296e 5722"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
2c051651
DZ
5723
5724Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5725MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5726reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5727sources.
5728
5729Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5730Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5731in your code.
c609719b 5732
2729af9d
WD
5733Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5734- remove any trailing white space
7ca9296e 5735- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
2729af9d 5736- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
7ca9296e 5737- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
2729af9d 5738- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
180d3f74 5739
2729af9d
WD
5740Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5741with a request to reformat the changes.

5744Submitting Patches:
5745-------------------
c609719b 5746
2729af9d
WD
5747Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5748establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5749may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
c609719b 5750
0d28f34b 5751Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
218ca724 5752
0668236b
WD
5753Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5754see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5755
2729af9d
WD
5756When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5757it:
c609719b 5758
2729af9d
WD
5759* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5760 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5761 patch actually fixes something.
c609719b 5762
2729af9d
WD
5763* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5764 implementation.
c609719b 5765
2729af9d 5766* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
c609719b 5767
2729af9d 5768* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
c609719b 5769
2729af9d 5770* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
7ca9296e 5771 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too.
c609719b 5772
2729af9d
WD
5773* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5774 document these in the README file.
c609719b 5775
218ca724
WD
5776* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5777 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 5778 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
5779 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5780 with some other mail clients.
5781
5782 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5783 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5784 GNU diff.
c609719b 5785
218ca724
WD
5786 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5787 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5788 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5789 affected files).
6dff5529 5790
218ca724
WD
5791 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5792 and compressed attachments must not be used.
c609719b 5793
2729af9d
WD
5794* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5795 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
52f52c14 5796
2729af9d
WD
5797* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5798 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

2729af9d 5801Notes:
c609719b 5802
2729af9d
WD
5803* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5804 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5805 for any of the boards.
c609719b 5806
2729af9d
WD
5807* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5808 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5809 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
c609719b 5810
2729af9d
WD
5811* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5812 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5813 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5814 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5815 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5816 modification.

WD
5818* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5819 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5820 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5821 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
