24Summary:
25========
26
24ee89b9 27This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
e86e5a07
WD
28Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31code.
c609719b
WD
32
33The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
24ee89b9
WD
34the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
35header files in common, and special provision has been made to
c609719b
WD
36support booting of Linux images.
37
38Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
39configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
43load and run it dynamically.
44
45
46Status:
47=======
48
49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
24ee89b9 50Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
c609719b
WD
51"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
52
24ee89b9 53In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
218ca724

54who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board
55maintainers.

234Software Configuration:
235=======================
236
237Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
238rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
239
240There are two classes of configuration variables:
241
242* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
243 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
244 "CONFIG_".
245
246* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
247 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
248 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 249 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
250
251Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
252identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
253do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
254links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
255as an example here.
256
257
258Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
259---------------------------------------------------
260
261For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
262configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
263
264Example: For a TQM823L module type:
265
266 cd u-boot
267 make TQM823L_config
268
11ccc33f 269For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
c609719b
WD
270e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
271directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
272
273
274Configuration Options:
275----------------------
276
277Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
278such information is kept in a configuration file
279"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
280
281Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
282"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
283
284
7f6c2cbc
WD
285Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
286kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
287build a config tool - later.
288

75d1ea7f 352
ba56f625
WD
353 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
354 of relying on the correctness of the configured
355 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
356 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
357 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 358 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
75d1ea7f 359
506f3918
HS

361
362 Define this option if you want to enable the
363 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
364
66412c63 365- 85xx CPU Options:
ffd06e02
YS
366 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
367
368 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
369 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
370 compliance, among other possible reasons.
371
66412c63
KG
372 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
373
374 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
375 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
376 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
377
8f29084a
KG
378 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
379
380 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
381 tree nodes for the given platform.
382
afa6b551
PK
383 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
384
385 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
386 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
387 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
388 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
389 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
390 purpose.
391
33eee330
SW
392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
393
394 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
395 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
396 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
397
398 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
399 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
400
401 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
402 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
403
404 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
405 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
406 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
407 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
408
409 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
410 this erratum.
411
412 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
413
414 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
415 according to the A004510 workaround.
416
6cb461b4
DS
417- Generic CPU options:
418 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
419

cf48eb9a 431
0b953ffc
MK
432 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
433 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
cf48eb9a 434 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
0b953ffc 435 by this value.
cf48eb9a 436
92bbd64e
DS
437- MIPS CPU options:
438 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
439
440 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
441 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
442 relocation.
443

WD
484 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
485
486 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
487 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
488 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
489 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
490 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
491 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
492 Linux kernel.
c609719b 493 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 494 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
c609719b

534 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
535
536 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
537 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
538 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
539 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
540 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
541 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

683- Console Rx buffer length
684 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
685 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
2b3f12c2 686 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
c92fac91
HS
687 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
688 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
689 the SMC.

9558b48a 691- Pre-Console Buffer:
4cf2609b
WD
692 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
693 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
694 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
695 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
696 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
697 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
698 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 699 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
700 earlier bytes are discarded.
701
702 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
703 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

705- Safe printf() functions
706 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
707 the printf() functions. These are defined in
708 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
709 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
710 If this option is not given then these functions will
711 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
712 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.

745 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c

746 The value of these goes into the environment as
747 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
748 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 749 RAM and NFS.

751- Pre-Boot Commands:
752 CONFIG_PREBOOT
753
754 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
755 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
756 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
757 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
758 entering interactive mode.
759
760 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
761 automatically generated or modified. For an example
762 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
763 modified when the user holds down a certain
764 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
765 booting the systems
766
767- Serial Download Echo Mode:
768 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
769 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
770 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
771 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
772 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
773 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
774 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

901- Device tree:
902 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
903 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
904 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
905 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
906 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
907 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
908
2c0f79e4
SG
909 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
910 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
911
912 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
913 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
914 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
915 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
916 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
917 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 918
2c0f79e4
SG
919 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
920 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
921 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
922 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
923

7d3053fb 1393 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
04e5ae79 1394 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
7d3053fb
TT
1395 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1396 support, and should also define these other macros:
1397

1407 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1408 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1409 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
1410 description of this variable.

676d319e
SG
1472
1473 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1474
1475 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1476 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1477 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1478 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1479 a per-section basis.

0d89efef
SG
1481 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1482
1483 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1484 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1485 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1486 is slow.
676d319e 1487
7152b1d0 1488- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1489
8bde7f77
WD
1490 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1491 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1492 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1493 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1494 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1495 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1496 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1497 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1498
1ca298ce
MW
1499 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1500
1501 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1502 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1503 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1504 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1505 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1506 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1507
1508 Example:
1509 setenv splashpos m,m
1510 => image at center of screen
1511
1512 setenv splashpos 30,20
1513 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1514
1515 setenv splashpos -10,m
1516 => vertically centered image
1517 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

SR
1519- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1520
1521 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1522 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1523 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1524
d5011762
AG
1525- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1526
1527 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1528 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1529 bmp command.
1530
f2b96dfb
LW
1531- Do compresssing for memory range:
1532 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1533
1534 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1535 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1536
c29fdfc1
WD
1537- Compression support:
1538 CONFIG_BZIP2
1539
1540 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1541 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1542 compressed images are supported.
1543
42d1f039 1544 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1545 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1546 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1547
fc9c1727
LCM
1548 CONFIG_LZMA
1549
1550 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1551 images is included.
1552
1553 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1554 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1555 formula:
1556
1557 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1558
1559 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1560 and Literal pos bits.
1561
1562 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1563 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1564 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1565 a very small buffer.
1566
1567 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1568 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1569 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
fc9c1727 1570
17ea1177

1571- MII/PHY support:
1572 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1573
1574 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1575
1576 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1577
1578 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1579
1580 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1581
1582 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1583 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1584
1585 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1586
1587 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1588 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1589 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1590 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1591
1592 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1593
1594 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1595 command issued before MII status register can be read

1628
1ebcd654
WD
1629- Gateway IP address:
1630 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP

1633 default router where packets to other networks are
1634 sent to.
1635 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1636
1637- Subnet mask:
1638 CONFIG_NETMASK
1639
1640 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1641 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1642 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1643 forwarded through a router.
1644 (Environment variable "netmask")
1645
53a5c424
DU
1646- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1647 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1648
1649 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1650 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 1651 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
53a5c424
DU
1652 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1653 multicast group.
1654
c609719b
WD
1655- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1656 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1657
1658 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1659 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1660 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1661 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1662 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1663 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1664 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1665 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1666 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1667
1668 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1669 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1670 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1671 4th and following
1672 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1673
fe389a82 1674- DHCP Advanced Options:
1fe80d79
JL
1675 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1676 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1677
1678 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK

fe389a82 1691
5d110f0a
WC
1692 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1693 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 1694
2c00e099
JH
1695 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1696 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1697 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1698 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1699 is not available.
1700
fe389a82
SR
1701 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1702 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1703 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1704 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1705 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1706 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1707 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 1708 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
1709
1710 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1711 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1712 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 1713 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
1714 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1715 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 1716
d9a2f416
AV
1717 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1718
1719 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1720 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1721 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1722 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1723 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1724 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1725 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1726 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1727 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1728 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1729 this delay.

JH
1731 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1732 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1733 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1734 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1735 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1736
1737 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1738
a3d991bd 1739 - CDP Options:
6e592385 1740 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
a3d991bd
WD
1741
1742 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1743
1744 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1745
1746 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1747 of the device.
1748
1749 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1750
1751 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1752 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
11ccc33f 1753 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
a3d991bd
WD
1754
1755 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1756
1757 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1758 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1759
1760 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1761
1762 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1763
1764 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1765
1766 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1767

1781- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1782
1783 Several configurations allow to display the current
1784 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1785 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1786 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1787 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1788 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1789 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1790 feature in U-Boot.
1791
1792- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1793
1794 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1795 on those systems that support this (optional)
1796 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1797
1798- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1799
b37c7e5e 1800 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
945af8d7 1801 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
11ccc33f 1802 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
c609719b 1803
945af8d7 1804 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 1805 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
1806 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1807 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 1808 command line interface.
c609719b 1809
bb99ad6d 1810 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 1811
945af8d7 1812 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
b37c7e5e
WD
1813 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1814 support for I2C.
c609719b 1815
945af8d7 1816 There are several other quantities that must also be
b37c7e5e 1817 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
c609719b 1818
6d0f6bcf 1819 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 1820 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 1821 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 1822 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 1823
8d321b81 1824 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 1825 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
1826 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1827 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1828 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 1829

EM
1830 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1831
1832 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1833 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1834 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
1835 commands until the slave device responds.
1836
945af8d7 1837 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 1838
b37c7e5e
WD
1839 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1840 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1841 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
1842
1843 I2C_INIT
1844
b37c7e5e 1845 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 1846 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 1847
ba56f625 1848 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 1849
c609719b
WD
1850 I2C_PORT
1851
43d9616c
WD
1852 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1853 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1854 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
1855
1856 I2C_ACTIVE
1857
1858 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1859 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1860 define can be null.
1861
b37c7e5e
WD
1862 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1863
c609719b
WD
1864 I2C_TRISTATE
1865
1866 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1867 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1868 define can be null.
1869
b37c7e5e
WD
1870 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1871
c609719b
WD
1872 I2C_READ
1873
1874 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1875 FALSE if it is low.
1876
b37c7e5e
WD
1877 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1878
c609719b
WD
1879 I2C_SDA(bit)
1880
1881 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1882 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1883
b37c7e5e 1884 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 1885 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 1886 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 1887
c609719b
WD
1888 I2C_SCL(bit)
1889
1890 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1891 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1892
b37c7e5e 1893 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 1894 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
ba56f625 1895 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
b37c7e5e 1896
c609719b
WD
1897 I2C_DELAY
1898
1899 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1900 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 1901 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
1902 like:
1903
b37c7e5e 1904 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 1905
793b5726
MF
1906 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1907
1908 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1909 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1910 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1911 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1912
1913 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1914 the generic GPIO functions.
1915
6d0f6bcf 1916 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 1917
8bde7f77
WD
1918 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1919 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1920 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1921 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1922 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1923 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1924 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1925 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 1926
26a33504
RR
1927 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
1928
1929 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
1930 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
1931 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
1932 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
1933 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
1934 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
1935 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
1936 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
1937
17ea1177
WD
1938 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1939
1940 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1941 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1942 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1943
bb99ad6d
BW
1944 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1945
1946 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
1947 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1948 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d
BW
1949 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1950
6d0f6bcf 1951 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
1952
1953 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 1954 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
1955 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1956 a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d
BW
1957
1958 e.g.
1959 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
c0f40859 1960 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d
BW
1961
1962 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1963
c0f40859 1964 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
6d0f6bcf 1965 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
bb99ad6d
BW
1966
1967 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1968
6d0f6bcf 1969 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
1970
1971 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1972 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1973
6d0f6bcf 1974 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
1975
1976 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1977 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1978
6d0f6bcf 1979 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
1980
1981 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
1982 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
1983
6d0f6bcf 1984 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
1985
1986 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
1987 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
1988 specified DTT device.
1989
be5e6181
TT
1990 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
1991
1992 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
7817cb20 1993 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
be5e6181 1994
67b23a32
HS
1995 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
1996
1997 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
1998 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
1999 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
2000 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
2001 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
2002 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
2003
2004 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
2005 feature!
2006
2007 Example:
2008 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
2009 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
2010 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
2011
2012 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
2013
2014 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
2015 of I2C Busses with muxes:
2016
2017 => i2c bus
2018 Busses reached over muxes:
2019 Bus ID: 2
2020 reached over Mux(es):
2021 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
2022 Bus ID: 3
2023 reached over Mux(es):
2024 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
2025 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
2026 =>
2027
2028 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
f9a78b8d
MJ
2029 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
2030 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
67b23a32
HS
2031 the channel 4.
2032
2033 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
f9a78b8d 2034 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
67b23a32
HS
2035 the 2 muxes.
2036
2037 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
2038 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
2039 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
2040 to add this option to other architectures.
2041
2ac6985a
AD
2042 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2043
2044 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2045 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2046 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2047 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2048 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2049 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2050 the other.

WD
2070 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2071 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2072 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2073 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2074 defined, the board configuration must define several
2075 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For

2156 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2157
2158- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2159
43d9616c
WD
2160 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2161 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2162 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2163 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2164 protects these variables from casual modification by
2165 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2166 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2167 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2168
2169 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2170 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2171 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2172 these parameters.
2173
2174 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2175 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2176 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2177 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2178 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2179 read-only.]
2180
2181- Protected RAM:
2182 CONFIG_PRAM
2183
2184 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2185 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2186 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2187 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2188 this default value by defining an environment
2189 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2190 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2191 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2192 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2193 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2194 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2195 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2196
fe126d8b 2197 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2198 saveenv
2199
2200 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2201 either, which results in a memory region that will
2202 not be affected by reboots.
2203
2204 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2205 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2206 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2207 following board configurations are known to be
2208 "pRAM-clean":

2214- Error Recovery:
2215 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2216
2217 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2218 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2219 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2220 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2221 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2222 useful during development since you can try to debug
2223 the conditions that lead to the situation.

2253
2254 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2255 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2256 powerful command line syntax like
2257 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2258 constructs ("shell scripts").
2259
2260 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2261 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2262
2263
6d0f6bcf 2264 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2265
2266 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2267 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2268 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2269
2270 Note:
2271
8bde7f77
WD
2272 In the current implementation, the local variables
2273 space and global environment variables space are
2274 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2275 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2276 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2277 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2278 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2279
43d9616c
WD
2280 Global environment variables are those you use
2281 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2282 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2283 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2284
2285 To store commands and special characters in a
2286 variable, please use double quotation marks
2287 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2288 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2289 symbols.

2291- Commandline Editing and History:
2292 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2293
11ccc33f 2294 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
b9365a26 2295 commandline input operations
aa0c71ac 2296
a8c7c708 2297- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2298 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2299
43d9616c
WD
2300 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2301 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2302 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2303
43d9616c
WD
2304 For example, place something like this in your
2305 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2306
2307 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2308 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2309 "myvar2=value2\0"
2310
43d9616c
WD
2311 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2312 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2313 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2314 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2315 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2316 You better know what you are doing here.
2317
43d9616c
WD
2318 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2319 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2320 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2321 boot command first.
c609719b 2322
5e724ca2
SW
2323 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2324
2325 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2326 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2327 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2328
2329 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2330
2331 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2332 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2333 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2334 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2335 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2336
7e27f89f
TR
2337 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2338
2339 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2340 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2341 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2342
a8c7c708 2343- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2344 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2345
8bde7f77
WD
2346 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2347 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2348 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2349
f61ec45e
EN
2350- Serial Flash support
2351 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2352
2353 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2354 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2355
2356 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2357 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2358 commands.
2359
2360 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2361 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2362 flash is present on the system.
2363
2364 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2365 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2366 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2367 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2368
3f85ce27
WD
2369- SystemACE Support:
2370 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2371
2372 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2373 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2374 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2375 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2376
2377 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2378 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2379
2380 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2381 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2382
ecb0ccd9
WD
2383- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2384 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2385
28cb9375 2386 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2387 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2388 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2389 number generator is used.
2390
28cb9375
WD
2391 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2392 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2393 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2394
2395 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2396 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2397 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2398 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2399 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2400 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2401 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2402
a8c7c708 2403- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
2404 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2405
43d9616c
WD
2406 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2407 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2408 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2409 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2410 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2411 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 2412
3a608ca0
SG
2413- Detailed boot stage timing
2414 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2415 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2416 of the boot process.
2417
2418 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2419 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2420 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2421 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2422 the limit, recording will stop.
2423
2424 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2425 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2426
2427 Timer summary in microseconds:
2428 Mark Elapsed Stage
2429 0 0 reset
2430 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2431 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2432 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2433 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2434 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2435 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2436 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2437
2eba38cf
SG
2438 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2439 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2440 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2441
94fd1316
SG
2442 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2443 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2444 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2445 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2446 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2447 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2448 For example:
2449
2450 bootstage {
2451 154 {
2452 name = "board_init_f";
2453 mark = <3575678>;
2454 };
2455 170 {
2456 name = "lcd";
2457 accum = <33482>;
2458 };
2459 };
2460
2461 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2773
43d9616c

2775 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
c609719b 2776
a8c7c708
WD
2777- Interrupt support (PPC):
2778
d4ca31c4
WD
2779 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2780 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 2781 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 2782 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 2783 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 2784 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 2785 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
2786 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2787 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2788 general timer_interrupt().
a8c7c708 2789

2791
43d9616c
WD
2792 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2793 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2794 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
11ccc33f 2795 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
2796 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2797 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2798 initialization.
c609719b 2799
43d9616c
WD
2800 If there are no modem init strings in the
2801 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2802 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
11ccc33f 2803 suppressed, though.

2807Board initialization settings:
2808------------------------------
2809
2810During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
2811to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
2812before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
2813following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
2814architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
2815typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
2816
2817- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
2818- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
2819- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
2820- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

2822Configuration Settings:
2823-----------------------
2824
6d0f6bcf 2825- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;

WD
2826 undefine this when you're short of memory.
2827
2fb2604d
PT
2828- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
2829 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
2830
6d0f6bcf 2831- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
c609719b
WD
2832 prompt for user input.
2833
6d0f6bcf 2834- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
c609719b 2835
6d0f6bcf 2836- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
c609719b 2837
6d0f6bcf 2838- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
c609719b 2839
6d0f6bcf 2840- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
c609719b
WD
2841 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
2842 booted
2843
6d0f6bcf 2844- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b
WD
2845 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
2846
6d0f6bcf 2847- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 2848 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 2849
6d0f6bcf 2850- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
2851 If the board specific function
2852 extern int overwrite_console (void);
2853 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
2854 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
2855
6d0f6bcf 2856- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
8bde7f77 2857 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 2858
6d0f6bcf 2859- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
c609719b
WD
2860 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
2861
6d0f6bcf 2862- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
2863 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
2864 simple memory test.
2865
6d0f6bcf 2866- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
8bde7f77 2867 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
c609719b 2868
6d0f6bcf 2869- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
5f535fe1
WD
2870 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
2871 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
2872
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
2873- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
2874 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 2875 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 2876 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
2877 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2878 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2879 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 2880 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 2881 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 2882 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
2883
2884 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2885 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2886 be touched.
2887
2888 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2889 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2890 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2891 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
2892 problems.

6d0f6bcf 2907- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
2908 Physical start address of Flash memory.
2909
6d0f6bcf 2910- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
2911 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
2912 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 2913 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 2914 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 2915
6d0f6bcf 2916- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
2917 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
2918 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
2919 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
2920 flash sector.
c609719b 2921
6d0f6bcf 2922- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
2923 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
2924
6d0f6bcf 2925- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
2926 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2927 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 2928 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
2929 to adjust this setting to your needs.
2930
6d0f6bcf 2931- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
2932 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
2933 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
2934 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
2935 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
2936 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
2937 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 2938 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
2939 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
2940 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
2941 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 2942
fca43cc8
JR
2943- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
2944 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
2945 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
2946 is enabled.
2947
2948- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
2949 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
2950 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2951
2952- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
2953 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
2954 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2955
6d0f6bcf 2956- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
2957 Max number of Flash memory banks
2958
6d0f6bcf 2959- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
c609719b

WD
2972 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
2973
6d0f6bcf 2974- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
2975 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
2976 instead of U-Boot software protection.
2977
6d0f6bcf 2978- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
2979
2980 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2981 without this option such a download has to be
2982 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2983 copy from RAM to flash.
2984
2985 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2986 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
2987 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2988 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
2989 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2990
6d0f6bcf 2991- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 2992 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
2993 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
2994
00b1883a 2995- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33
WD
2996 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
2997 in the drivers directory
c609719b 2998
91809ed5
PZ
2999- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3000 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3001 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3002 to the MTD layer.
3003
6d0f6bcf 3004- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
3005 Use buffered writes to flash.
3006
3007- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3008 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3009 write commands.
3010
6d0f6bcf 3011- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3012 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3013 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3014 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3015 optionally available.
3016
9a042e9c
JVB
3017- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3018 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3019 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3020 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3021
6d0f6bcf 3022- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
3023 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3024 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3025 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3026 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3027 on high Ethernet traffic.

3030- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3031
071bc923
WD
3032 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3033 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3034 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3035 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3036 lib/hashtable.c for details.

c609719b
WD
3038The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3039of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3040following configurations:
3041
c3eb3fe4
MF
3042- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3043
3044 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3045 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3046
5a1aceb0 3047- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3048
3049 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3050
3051 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3052 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3053 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3054 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3055 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3056 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3057 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3058 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3059 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3060 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3061 between U-Boot and the environment.
3062
0e8d1586 3063 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3064
3065 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3066 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3067 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3068 for this sector is given here.
3069
6d0f6bcf 3070 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3071
0e8d1586 3072 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3073
3074 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3075 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3076 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3077
0e8d1586 3078 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3079
3080 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3081
3082
3083 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3084 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3085 the environment.
3086
0e8d1586 3087 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3088
5a1aceb0 3089 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3090 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3091 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3092 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.

3094 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3095 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3096 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3097 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3098 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3099 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3100 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3101 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3102 RAM, your target system will be dead.

3131BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3132in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3133console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3134U-Boot will hang.

c609719b
WD
3158 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a

6d0f6bcf 3170 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
3171 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3172 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3173 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3174 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3175 byte chips.
3176
3177 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3178 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3179 in the chip address.

3187
3188 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3189 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3190 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3191 EEPROM. For example:

SW
3244 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3245 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 3246 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
3247 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3248
3249 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3250
3251 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3252 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3253 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3254 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3255 the range to be avoided.
3256
3257 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3258
3259 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3260 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3261 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3262 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3263 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

3265- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3266
3267 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the

3269 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3270
6d0f6bcf 3271- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
3272
3273 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3274 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3275 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3276 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3277 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3278 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3279 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3280
e881cb56 3281Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 3282has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 3283created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
3284until then to read environment variables.
3285
85ec0bcc
WD
3286The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3287is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3288with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3289necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3290"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3291have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
3292
3293Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3294the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 3295use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

3331 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3332 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3333
3334 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3335 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3336
3337- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3338 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3339 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 3340 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
3341 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3342 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3343 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3344
3345 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3346 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3347
3348- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
3349 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3350 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
3351 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3352 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3353
3354- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3355 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3356 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3357 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3358
3359- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3360 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3361 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

3635Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
3636-----------------------------------
3637
3638The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3639loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3640This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3641are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3642within that device.
3643
3644- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3645 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
3646 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3647 is also specified.
3648
3649- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3650 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
3651 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3652 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3653 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3654
3655- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3656 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3657 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3658 virtual address in NOR flash.
3659
3660- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3661 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3662 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3663
3664- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3665 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
3666 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3667
3668- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
3669 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
3670 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3671
292dc6c5
LG
3672- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
3673 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
3674 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
3675 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
3676 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
3677 master's memory space.

3679Building the Software:
3680======================
3681
218ca724
WD
3682Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3683and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3684all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3685(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3686recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3687which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 3688
218ca724
WD
3689If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3690have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3691you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3692Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3693necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 3694
218ca724
WD
3695 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3696 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 3697
2f8d396b
PT
3698Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3699 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3700 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3701 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
3702
3703 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3704
3705 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3706 be executed on computers running Windows.
3707
218ca724
WD
3708U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3709sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
3710is done by typing:
3711
3712 make NAME_config
3713
218ca724 3714where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 3715rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 3716
2729af9d
WD
3717Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3718 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3719 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3720 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 3721 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
3722
3723 make TQM823L_config
3724 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
3725
3726 make TQM823L_LCD_config
3727 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
3728
3729 etc.
3730
3731
3732Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3733images ready for download to / installation on your system:
3734
3735- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3736- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3737- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
3738
baf31249
MB
3739By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3740in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3741this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3742
37431. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3744
3745 make O=/tmp/build distclean
3746 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
3747 make O=/tmp/build all
3748
37492. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
3750
3751 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3752 make distclean
3753 make NAME_config
3754 make all
3755
3756Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
3757variable.
3758
2729af9d
WD
3759
3760Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3761for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3762native "make".
3763
3764
3765If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3766to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3767steps:
3768
37691. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
3770 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
3771 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
37722. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3773 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3774 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
37753. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3776 your board
37773. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3778 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
37794. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
37805. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3781 to be installed on your target system.
37826. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3783 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
3784
3785
3786Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
3787==============================================================
3788
218ca724
WD
3789If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3790or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
3791provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3792the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 3793official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 3794
218ca724
WD
3795But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3796cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
3797the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3798just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
3799for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
3800select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
3801environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
3802you can type
2729af9d
WD
3803
3804 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3805
3806or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
3807
3808 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
3809
218ca724
WD
3810When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
3811U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
3812setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
3813built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
3814<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
3815location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
3816variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
3817
3818 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3819 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
3820 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3821
218ca724
WD
3822With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
3823log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
3824during the whole build process.

3886Environment Variables:
3887======================
3888
3889U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
3890can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 3891
2729af9d
WD
3892Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
3893"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
3894without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
3895environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
3896working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
3897environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 3898

3924 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
3925 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
3926 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
3927 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
3928 used otherwise.

3929
3930 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3931 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3932 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
3933 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
3934 environment variable.

3936 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
3937 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
3938 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.

3940 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
3941 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
3942 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
3943 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 3944
2729af9d
WD
3945 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3946 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3947 be automatically started (by internally calling
3948 "bootm")
38b99261 3949
2729af9d
WD
3950 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3951 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3952 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3953 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3954 data.
c609719b 3955
a28afca5
DL
3956 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
3957 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
3958 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
3959 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
3960 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
3961 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
3962 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
3963 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
3964 access it during the boot procedure.
3965
a28afca5
DL
3966 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
3967 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
3968 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
3969 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
3970 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
3971 must be accessible by the kernel.
3972
eea63e05
SG
3973 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
3974 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
3975 defined.
3976
17ea1177
WD
3977 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3978 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3979 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3980 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3981 it must be saved and board must be reset.
3982
2729af9d
WD
3983 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
3984 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3985 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3986 is usually what you want since it allows for
3987 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3988 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 3989 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
3990 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3991 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3992 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3993 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 3994
2729af9d
WD
3995 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3996 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3997 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3998 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3999 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4000 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 4001
2729af9d 4002 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 4003
2729af9d
WD
4004 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4005 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4006 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4007 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4008 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4009 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4010 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

WD
4057 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4058 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4059
4060 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4061 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4062 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4063 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4064 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4065 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4066 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4067
4068 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over

4072The following image location variables contain the location of images
4073used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4074not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4075variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4076server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4077loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4078flash or offset in NAND flash.

4108 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4109 as type string and/or serial number
4110 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4111
2729af9d
WD
4112These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of

4129=====================
f07771cc 4130
2729af9d
WD
4131There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4132the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 4133
2729af9d
WD
4134Old, simple command line parser:
4135--------------------------------
c609719b 4136
2729af9d
WD
4137- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4138- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 4139- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
4140- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4141 for example:
fe126d8b 4142 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
4143- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4144 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 4145
2729af9d
WD
4146Hush shell:
4147-----------
c609719b 4148
2729af9d
WD
4149- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4150 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4151 until...do...done, ...
4152- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4153 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4154 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4155 command
4156
4157General rules:
4158--------------
c609719b 4159
2729af9d
WD
4160(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4161 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4162 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4163 executed anyway.
c609719b 4164
2729af9d 4165(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 4166 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
4167 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4168 variables are not executed.
c609719b 4169
2729af9d
WD
4170Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4171=======================================
c609719b 4172
11ccc33f 4173Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
4174such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4175"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 4176
2729af9d
WD
4177Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4178MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4179"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 4180
2729af9d
WD
4181If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4182in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4183ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4184variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 4185
2729af9d
WD
4186o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4187 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 4188
2729af9d
WD
4189o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4190 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4191 used.
c609719b 4192
2729af9d
WD
4193o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4194 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 4195
2729af9d
WD
4196o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4197 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4198 warning is printed.
c609719b 4199
2729af9d
WD
4200o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4201 is raised.
c609719b 4202
ecee9324 4203If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 4204will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
4205may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4206The naming convention is as follows:
4207"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

c609719b 4211

MB
4212U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4213images in two formats:
4214
4215New uImage format (FIT)
4216-----------------------
4217
4218Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4219to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4220components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4221SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4222
4223
4224Old uImage format
4225-----------------
4226
4227Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4228preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4229details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

4250Linux Support:
4251==============
c609719b 4252
2729af9d
WD
4253Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4254easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4255U-Boot.
c609719b 4256
2729af9d
WD
4257U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4258special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4259"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4260instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4261serves several purposes:
c609719b 4262
2729af9d
WD
4263- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4264 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4265 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 4266
2729af9d
WD
4267- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4268 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 4269
2729af9d
WD
4270- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4271 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4272 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4273 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4274 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4275 software is easier now.

4278Linux HOWTO:
4279============
c609719b 4280
2729af9d
WD
4281Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4282---------------------------------------
c609719b 4283
2729af9d
WD
4284U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4285configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4286(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4287Linux :-).
c609719b 4288
a47a12be 4289But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 4290
2729af9d
WD
4291Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4292include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
4293Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4294and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 4295as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 4296
c609719b 4297
2729af9d
WD
4298Configuring the Linux kernel:
4299-----------------------------
c609719b 4300
2729af9d
WD
4301No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4302device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4303
4304
4305Building a Linux Image:
4306-----------------------
c609719b 4307
2729af9d
WD
4308With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4309not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4310"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4311U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4312which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4313100% compatible format.
4314
4315Example:
4316
4317 make TQM850L_config
4318 make oldconfig
4319 make dep
4320 make uImage
4321
4322The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4323encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4324CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4325
4326* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4327
4328* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4329
4330 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4331 -R .note -R .comment \
4332 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4333
4334* compress the binary image:
4335
4336 gzip -9 linux.bin
4337
4338* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4339
4340 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4341 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \

4345The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4346with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4347combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4348byte header containing information about target architecture,
4349operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4350stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4351
4352"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4353print the header information, or to build new images.
4354
4355In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4356contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4357checksum verification:
c609719b 4358
2729af9d
WD
4359 tools/mkimage -l image
4360 -l ==> list image header information
4361
4362The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4363from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4364
4365 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4366 -n name -d data_file image
4367 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4368 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4369 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4370 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4371 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4372 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4373 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4374 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4375
69459791
WD
4376Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4377address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4378kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
4379
4380- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4381- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4382
4383So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4384
4385 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4386 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \

4393 Load Address: 0x00000000
4394 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4395
4396To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4397

4403 Load Address: 0x00000000
4404 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4405
4406NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4407speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4408needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4409need to be uncompressed:
4410
a47a12be 4411 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz

4424Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file

4435 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4436
4437
4438Installing a Linux Image:
4439-------------------------
4440
4441To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4442you must convert the image to S-Record format:
4443
4444 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
4445
4446The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4447image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4448address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4449specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4450command.
4451
4452Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4453TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
4454
4455 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF

4486Boot Linux:
4487-----------
4488
4489The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
4490memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
4491of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
4492parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
4493"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
4494
4495
4496 => printenv bootargs
4497 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
4498
4499 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

4618More About U-Boot Image Types:
4619------------------------------
4620
4621U-Boot supports the following image types:
4622
4623 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4624 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4625 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4626 the Standalone Program.
4627 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4628 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4629 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4630 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4631 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4632 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4633 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4634 being started.
4635 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4636 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4637 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4638 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4639 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4640 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
4641
4642 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4643 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4644 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4645 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4646 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4647 a multiple of 4 bytes).
4648
4649 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4650 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4651 flash memory.
4652
4653 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4654 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4655 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4656 as command interpreter.
4657

4658Booting the Linux zImage:
4659-------------------------
4660
4661On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
4662using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
4663as the syntax of "bootm" command.
4664
017e1f3f
MV
4665Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
4666kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
4667address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
4668format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
4669

4670
4671Standalone HOWTO:
4672=================
4673
4674One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4675run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4676U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
4677
4678Two simple examples are included with the sources:
4679
4680"Hello World" Demo:
4681-------------------
4682
4683'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
4684application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
4685It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
4686like that:
4687
4688 => loads
4689 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
4690 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
4691 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...

4694 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
4695
4696 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
4697 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
4698 Hello World
4699 argc = 7
4700 argv[0] = "40004"
4701 argv[1] = "Hello"
4702 argv[2] = "World!"
4703 argv[3] = "This"
4704 argv[4] = "is"
4705 argv[5] = "a"
4706 argv[6] = "test."
4707 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
4708 Hit any key to exit ...
4709
4710 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
4711
4712Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
4713handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4714Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4715The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4716character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4717controlled by the following keys:
4718
4719 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
4720 b - enable interrupts and start timer
4721 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
4722 q - quit application
4723
4724 => loads

4759Minicom warning:
4760================
4761
4762Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
4763"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
4764consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
4765Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
4766especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
4767use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See

4780NetBSD Notes:
4781=============
4782
4783Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
4784(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
4785
4786Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
4787NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
4788need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
4789Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
4790attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
4791missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
4792
4793 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
4794 # mkdir powerpc
4795 # ln -s powerpc machine
4796 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4797 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
4798
4799Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4800and U-Boot include files.
4801
4802Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4803stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4804proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4805tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 4806meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

4809Implementation Internals:
4810=========================
4811
4812The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4813implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4814inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4815hardware.
4816
4817
4818Initial Stack, Global Data:
4819---------------------------
4820
4821The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4822starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4823system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4824This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4825is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4826at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4827options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4828models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4829MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4830locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
4831
218ca724 4832 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 4833 U-Boot mailing list:

4838 ...
4839
4840 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4841 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4842 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
4843 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
4844 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 4845 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
4846 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
4847 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
4848
4849 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
4850 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 4851 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
4852 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
4853 board designers haven't used it for something that would
4854 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
4855 used.
4856
6d0f6bcf 4857 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
4858 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
4859 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 4860 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
4861 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
4862 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
4863 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
4864 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
4865 you get the config right.

4870It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
4871code for the initialization procedures:
4872
4873* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
4874 to write it.
4875
11ccc33f 4876* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
4877 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
4878 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
4879
4880* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
4881 that.
4882
4883Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
4884normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
4885turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
4886simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
4887functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
4888functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
4889the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
4890place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
4891reserve for this purpose.
4892
4893When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
4894relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
4895GCC's implementation.
4896
4897For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
4898 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 4899 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
4900 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
4901 R5-R10: parameter passing
4902 R13: small data area pointer
4903 R30: GOT pointer
4904 R31: frame pointer
4905
e6bee808
JT
4906 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
4907 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
4908 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 4909
e7670f6c 4910 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
4911
4912 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
4913 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
4914 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
4915 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
4916 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
4917 624 text + 127 data).
4918

4926 R0: function argument word/integer result
4927 R1-R3: function argument word
4928 R9: GOT pointer
4929 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
4930 R11: argument (frame) pointer
4931 R12: temporary workspace
4932 R13: stack pointer
4933 R14: link register
4934 R15: program counter

4942
4943 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
4944 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
4945

ML
4946On NDS32, the following registers are used:
4947
4948 R0-R1: argument/return
4949 R2-R5: argument
4950 R15: temporary register for assembler
4951 R16: trampoline register
4952 R28: frame pointer (FP)
4953 R29: global pointer (GP)

4962
4963Memory Management:
4964------------------
4965
4966U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
4967MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
4968
4969The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
4970controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
4971memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
4972physical memory banks.
4973
4974U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
4975TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
4976booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
4977to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 4978memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
4979configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
4980Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
4981
4982Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
4983of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
4984
4985So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
4986this:
4987
4988 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
4989 :
4990 0x0000 1FFF
4991 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
4992 :
4993 :
4994
4995 :
4996 :
4997 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
4998 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
4999 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5000 :
5001 0x00FD FFFF
5002 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5003 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5004 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5005 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5006
5007
5008System Initialization:
5009----------------------
c609719b 5010
2729af9d 5011In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 5012(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
5013configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5014To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5015To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5016initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5017which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5018part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5019the caches and the SIU.
5020
5021Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5022preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5023(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5024on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5025programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5026simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5027banks.
5028
5029When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5030different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5031bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
50320x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5033contiguous memory starting from 0.
5034
5035Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5036and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5037Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5038pages, and the final stack is set up.
5039
5040Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5041until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5042running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5043new address in RAM.

5215 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5216 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5217 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5218 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5219 modification.
