28 At present the environment can be stored in only one place. Use this
29 option to select the location. This is either a device (where the
30 environemnt information is simply written to a fixed location or
31 partition on the device) or a filesystem (where the environment
32 information is written to a file).

35 bool "Environment is not stored"
36 help
37 Define this if you don't want to or can't have an environment stored
38 on a storage medium. In this case the environemnt will still exist
39 while U-Boot is running, but once U-Boot exits it will not be
40 stored. U-Boot will therefore always start up with a default
41 environment.

91config ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
92 bool "Environment in flash memory"
93 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
94 help
95 Define this if you have a flash device which you want to use for the
96 environment.
97
98 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
99 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
100 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
101 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
102 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
103 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
104 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
105 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
106 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
107 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
108 between U-Boot and the environment.
109
110 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
111
112 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
113 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
114 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
115 for this sector is given here.
116
117 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
118
119 CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
120
121 This is just another way to specify the start address of
122 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
123 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
124
125 CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
126
127 Size of the sector containing the environment.
128
129
130 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
131 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
132 the environment.
133
134 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
135
136 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
137 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
138 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
139 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
140
141 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
142 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
143 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
144 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
145 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
146 updating the environment in flash makes it always
147 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
148 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
149 RAM, your target system will be dead.
150
151 CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
152 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
153
154 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
155 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
156 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
157 a "saveenv" operation.
158
159 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
160 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
161 accordingly!

SG
166 help
167 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
168 environment.
169
170 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
171
172 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
173
174 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
175
176 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
177 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
178 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
179
180 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
181 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
182
183 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
184 area within the specified MMC device.
185
186 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
187 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
188 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
189 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
190 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
191 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
192 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
193
194 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
195 MMC sector boundary.
196
197 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
198
199 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
200 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
201 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
202 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
203
204 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
205 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
206
207 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
208 an MMC sector boundary.
209
210 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
211
212 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
213 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
214 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.

223 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:

227 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
228 aligned to an erase block boundary.
229
230 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
231
232 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
233 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
234 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
235 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
236 aligned to an erase block boundary.
237
238 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
239
240 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
241 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
242 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
243 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
244 the range to be avoided.
245
246 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
247
248 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
249 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
250 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
251 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
252 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
