8Summary:

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

37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
38the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
39scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
40companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.

170Software Configuration:
171=======================
172
173Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
174rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
175
176There are two classes of configuration variables:
177
178* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
179 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
180 "CONFIG_".
181
182* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
183 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
184 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 185 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b 186
7207b366
RD
187Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
188symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
189U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
190allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
191build.

193
194Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
195---------------------------------------------------
196
197For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
ab584d67 198configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
c609719b
WD
199
200Example: For a TQM823L module type:
201
202 cd u-boot
ab584d67 203 make TQM823L_defconfig
c609719b 204
7207b366

205Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
206you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
207doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.

209Sandbox Environment:
210--------------------
211
212U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
213board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
214specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
215run some of U-Boot's tests.
216

220Board Initialisation Flow:
221--------------------------
222
223This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
7207b366
RD
224SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
225
226Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
227more detail later in this file.
228
229At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
230and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
231may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
232CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
233
234Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
235CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
236
237 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
238 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
239 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
db910353 240
7207b366
RD
241and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
242limitations of each of these functions are described below.
db910353
SG
243
244lowlevel_init():
245 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
246 - no global_data or BSS
247 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
248 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
249 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
250 board_init_f()
251 - this is almost never needed
252 - return normally from this function
253
254board_init_f():
255 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
256 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
257 - global_data is available
258 - stack is in SRAM
259 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
260 only stack variables and global_data
261
262 Non-SPL-specific notes:
263 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
264 can do nothing
265
266 SPL-specific notes:
267 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
268 version as needed.
269 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
270 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
271 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
272 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
273 directly)
274
275Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
276this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
277CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
278memory.
279
280board_init_r():
281 - purpose: main execution, common code
282 - global_data is available
283 - SDRAM is available
284 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
285 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
286
287 Non-SPL-specific notes:
288 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
289 there.
290
291 SPL-specific notes:
292 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
293 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
294 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
0680f1b1 295 done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
db910353
SG
296 spl_board_init() function containing this call
297 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
298

301Configuration Options:
302----------------------
303
304Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
305such information is kept in a configuration file
306"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
307
308Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
309"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
310
311

312Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
313kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
314build a config tool - later.

368 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
369 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
370
371 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
372 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
373 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
374 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.

581 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
582 such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
583
5da627a4 584- Linux Kernel Interface:
c609719b
WD
585 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
586
587 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
588 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
589 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
590 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
591 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
592 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
593 Linux kernel.
c609719b 594 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 595 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
c609719b
WD
596 default environment.

598 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
599
b445bbb4 600 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
5da627a4

626 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
627
628 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make

HS
633 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
634
635 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
636 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
637 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
638 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
639 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
640 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

642 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
643
644 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
645 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
646 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
647 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
648 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
649 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
650 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

687 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
688
689 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
690 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
691 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h

698- Console Baudrate:
699 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
700 Select one of the baudrates listed in
6d0f6bcf 701 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
c609719b 702
c609719b
WD
703- Autoboot Command:
704 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
705 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
706 define a command string that is automatically executed
707 when no character is read on the console interface
708 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
709
c609719b 710 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c
WD
711 The value of these goes into the environment as
712 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
713 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 714 RAM and NFS.
c609719b 715
eda0ba38 716- Bootcount:
eda0ba38
HS
717 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
718 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
719 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
720 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
721 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
722 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
723 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
724 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
725 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
726
c609719b
WD
727- Pre-Boot Commands:
728 CONFIG_PREBOOT
729
730 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
731 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
732 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
733 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
734 entering interactive mode.
735
736 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
737 automatically generated or modified. For an example
738 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
739 modified when the user holds down a certain
740 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
741 booting the systems
742
743- Serial Download Echo Mode:
744 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
745 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
746 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
747 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
748 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
749 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
750 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
751
602ad3b3 752- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
c609719b
WD
753 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
754 Select one of the baudrates listed in
6d0f6bcf 755 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
c609719b 756
302a6487
SG
757- Removal of commands
758 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
759 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
760 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
761 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
762 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
763 simple boot procedures.
764
a5ecbe62
WD
765- Regular expression support:
766 CONFIG_REGEX
93e14596
WD
767 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
768 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
769 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
770 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
a5ecbe62 771
45ba8077
SG
772- Device tree:
773 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
774 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
775 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
776 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
777 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
778 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
779
2c0f79e4 780 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
82f766d1 781 be done using one of the three options below:
bbb0b128
SG
782
783 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
784 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
785 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
786 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
787 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
eb3eb602 788 the global data structure as gd->fdt_blob.
45ba8077 789
2c0f79e4
SG
790 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
791 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
792 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
793 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
794
795 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
796
797 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
798 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
799 still use the individual files if you need something more
800 exotic.
801
82f766d1
AD
802 CONFIG_OF_BOARD
803 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree
804 provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with
805 the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support
806 this option (see include/fdtdec.h file).
807
c609719b
WD
808- Watchdog:
809 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
810 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6 811 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
907208c4
CL
812 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx
813 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
814 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
815 available, then no further board specific code should
816 be needed to use it.
6abe6fb6
DZ
817
818 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
819 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
820 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
821 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
c609719b 822

826- U-Boot Version:
827 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
828 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
829 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
830 version as printed by the "version" command.

834- Real-Time Clock:
835
602ad3b3 836 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
c609719b
WD
837 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
838 following options:
839
c609719b 840 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
4e8b7544 841 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

CP
860 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
861 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
862 pins supported by a particular chip.
863
e92739d3

864 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
865 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
866
aa53233a
SG
867- I/O tracing:
868 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
869 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
870 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
871 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
872 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
873 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
874 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
875 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
876
877 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
878 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
879 still continue to operate.
880
881 iotrace is enabled
882 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
883 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
884 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
885 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
886 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
887 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)

c609719b
WD
889- Timestamp Support:
890
43d9616c
WD
891 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
892 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
893 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 894 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
c609719b 895
923c46f9

1103- USB Device:
1104 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1105 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1106 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
11ccc33f 1107 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
16c8d5e7
WD
1108 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1109 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
386eda02 1110 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
16c8d5e7
WD
1111 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1112 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1113 a Linux host by
1114 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1115 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1116 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1117 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
386eda02 1118
16c8d5e7
WD
1119 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1120 Define this to build a UDC device

1126 CONFIG_USBD_HS
1127 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1128 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1129 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1130 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1131 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1132 speed.
1133
6d0f6bcf 1134 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
16c8d5e7
WD
1135 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1136 be set to usbtty.
1137
386eda02 1138 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
16c8d5e7 1139 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
386eda02 1140 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
16c8d5e7
WD
1141 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1142 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1143 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.

1164- ULPI Layer Support:
1165 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1166 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1167 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1168 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1169 viewport is supported.
1170 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1171 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
6d365ea0
LS
1172 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1173 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1174 the appropriate value in Hz.
c609719b 1175
71f95118 1176- MMC Support:
8bde7f77
WD
1177 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1178 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1179 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
71f95118 1180 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
602ad3b3

1210 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1211 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1212 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1213 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1214 one that would help mostly the developer.
1215
e7e75c70
HS
1216 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1217 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1218 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1219 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1220 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1221
ea2453d5
PA
1222 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1223 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1224 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1225 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1226 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1227 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1228
001a8319
HS
1229 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1230 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1231 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1232 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1233
1234 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1235 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1236 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1237 sending again an USB request to the device.

SG
1248 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1249
1250 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1251
1252 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1253 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1254 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1255 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1256 instead.
c609719b
WD
1257
1258- Video support:
7d3053fb 1259 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
04e5ae79 1260 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
7d3053fb
TT
1261 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1262 support, and should also define these other macros:
1263
1264 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1265 CONFIG_VIDEO
7d3053fb
TT
1266 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

1270 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1271
ba8e76bd
TT
1272 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1273 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
8eca9439 1274 boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
ba8e76bd 1275 description of this variable.

1325
676d319e
SG
1326 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1327
b445bbb4 1328 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
676d319e
SG
1329 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1330 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1331 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1332 a per-section basis.
1333
1334
604c7d4a
HP
1335 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1336
1337 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1338 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1339 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1340 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1341 printed out.
1342 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1343 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1344 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1345 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1346 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1347 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1348 1 = 90 degree rotation
1349 2 = 180 degree rotation
1350 3 = 270 degree rotation
1351
1352 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1353 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1354
45d7f525
TWHT
1355 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1356
1357 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1358
735987c5
TWHT
1359 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1360
1361 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1362 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1363
7152b1d0 1364- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1365
8bde7f77
WD
1366 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1367 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1368 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1369 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1370 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1371 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1372 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1373 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1374
c0880485
NK
1375 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1376
1377 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1378 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
ab5645f1 1379 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
c0880485
NK
1380 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1381 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1382 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1383 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1384 there is no need to set this option.
1385
1ca298ce
MW
1386 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1387
1388 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1389 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1390 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1391 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1392 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1393 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1394
1395 Example:
1396 setenv splashpos m,m
1397 => image at center of screen

1495 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 1496 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet

WD
1500- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1501 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1502
1503 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1504 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1505 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1506 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1507 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1508 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1509 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1510 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1511 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1512
1513 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1514 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1515 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1516 4th and following
1517 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1518
92ac8acc
TR
1519 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1520
1521 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1522 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1523 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1524 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1525 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1526 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1527 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1528 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1529 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1530 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1531 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1532 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1533 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1534 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1535 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1536
fe389a82 1537- DHCP Advanced Options:
1fe80d79
JL
1538 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1539 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1540
1541 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1542 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1543 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1544 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN

fe389a82 1554
5d110f0a
WC
1555 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1556 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 1557
2c00e099
JH
1558 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1559 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1560 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1561 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1562 is not available.
1563
fe389a82
SR
1564 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1565 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1566 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1567 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1568 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1569 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1570 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 1571 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
1572
1573 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1574 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1575 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 1576 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
1577 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1578 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 1579
d9a2f416
AV
1580 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1581
1582 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1583 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1584 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1585 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1586 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1587 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1588 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1589 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1590 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1591 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1592 this delay.

1594 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1595 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1596 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1597 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1598 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

79267edd 1653- Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
c609719b
WD
1654
1655 Several configurations allow to display the current
1656 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1657 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1658 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1659 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1660 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
79267edd 1661 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
c609719b
WD
1662 feature in U-Boot.
1663
1df7bbba
IG
1664 Additional options:
1665
79267edd 1666 CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1df7bbba
IG
1667 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
1668 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
79267edd 1669 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1df7bbba
IG
1670 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
1671
9dfdcdfe
IG
1672 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
1673 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
1674 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
1675 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
1676 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
1677 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

b37c7e5e
WD
1867 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1868 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
1869
1870 I2C_INIT
1871
b37c7e5e 1872 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 1873 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 1874
ba56f625 1875 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 1876
c609719b
WD
1877 I2C_ACTIVE
1878
1879 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1880 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1881 define can be null.
1882
b37c7e5e
WD
1883 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1884
c609719b
WD
1885 I2C_TRISTATE
1886
1887 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1888 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1889 define can be null.
1890
b37c7e5e
WD
1891 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1892
c609719b
WD
1893 I2C_READ
1894
472d5460
YS
1895 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
1896 false if it is low.
c609719b 1897
b37c7e5e
WD
1898 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1899
c609719b
WD
1900 I2C_SDA(bit)
1901
472d5460
YS
1902 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1903 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 1904
b37c7e5e 1905 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 1906 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 1907 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 1908
c609719b
WD
1909 I2C_SCL(bit)
1910
472d5460
YS
1911 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1912 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 1913
b37c7e5e 1914 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 1915 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \

b37c7e5e 1917
c609719b
WD
1918 I2C_DELAY
1919
1920 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1921 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 1922 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
1923 like:
1924
b37c7e5e 1925 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 1926
793b5726
MF
1927 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1928
1929 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1930 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1931 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1932 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1933
1934 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1935 the generic GPIO functions.
1936
6d0f6bcf 1937 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 1938
8bde7f77
WD
1939 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1940 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1941 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1942 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1943 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1944 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1945 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1946 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 1947
bb99ad6d
BW
1948 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1949
1950 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
1951 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1952 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d

1953 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1954
6d0f6bcf 1955 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
1956
1957 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 1958 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
1959 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1960 a 1D array of device addresses

1963 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
c0f40859 1964 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d
BW
1965
1966 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1967
c0f40859 1968 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
945a18e6 1969 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
bb99ad6d
BW
1970
1971 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1972
6d0f6bcf 1973 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
1974
1975 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1976 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1977
6d0f6bcf 1978 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
1979
1980 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1981 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1982
2ac6985a
AD
1983 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
1984
1985 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
1986 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
1987 between writing the address pointer and reading the
1988 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
1989 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
1990 devices can use either method, but some require one or
1991 the other.

c609719b
WD
1999 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2000
43d9616c
WD
2001 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2002 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2003 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2004 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2005 defined, the board configuration must define several
2006 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2007 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
c609719b 2008
04a9e118
BW
2009 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2010
2011 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2012 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2013 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
c0f40859 2014 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an

WD
2045 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2046 status by the configuration function. This option
2047 will require a board or device specific function to
2048 be written.
c609719b
WD
2049
2050 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2051
2052 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA

2082- Configuration Management:
b2b8a696
SR
2083 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2084
2085 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2086 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2087 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2088 special image will be automatically built upon calling
6de80f21 2089 make / buildman.
b2b8a696 2090
c609719b
WD
2091 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2092
43d9616c
WD
2093 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2094 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2095
2096- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2097
43d9616c
WD
2098 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2099 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2100 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2101 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2102 protects these variables from casual modification by
2103 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2104 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2105 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2106
2107 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2108 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2109 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2110 these parameters.
2111
92ac5208
JH
2112 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2113 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2114 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2115 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2116 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2117 read-only.]
2118
2598090b
JH
2119 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2120 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2121 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2122 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2123
c609719b
WD
2124- Protected RAM:
2125 CONFIG_PRAM
2126
2127 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2128 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2129 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2130 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2131 this default value by defining an environment
2132 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2133 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2134 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2135 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2136 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2137 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2138 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2139
fe126d8b 2140 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2141 saveenv
2142
2143 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2144 either, which results in a memory region that will
2145 not be affected by reboots.
2146
2147 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2148 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2149 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2150 following board configurations are known to be
2151 "pRAM-clean":
2152
5b8e76c3 2153 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx,
1b0757ec 2154 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,

c609719b 2156
40fef049
GB
2157- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2158 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2159 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2160 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2161 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2162 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2163 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2164
c609719b 2165- Error Recovery:
c609719b
WD
2166 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2167
43d9616c
WD
2168 This variable defines the number of retries for
2169 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2170 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2171 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2172
40cb90ee
GL
2173 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2174
2175 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2176
48a3e999
TK
2177 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2178
2179 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2180 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2181 try longer timeout such as
2182 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

2188
6d0f6bcf 2189 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2190
2191 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2192 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2193 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2194
2195 Note:
2196
8bde7f77
WD
2197 In the current implementation, the local variables
2198 space and global environment variables space are
2199 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2200 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2201 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2202 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2203 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2204
43d9616c
WD
2205 Global environment variables are those you use
2206 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2207 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2208 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2209
2210 To store commands and special characters in a
2211 variable, please use double quotation marks
2212 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2213 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2214 symbols.

2301 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2302
28cb9375 2303 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2304 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2305 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2306 number generator is used.
2307
28cb9375
WD
2308 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2309 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2310 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2311
2312 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2313 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2314 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2315 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2316 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2317 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2318 but sometimes that is not allowed.

2565
2566 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
2567 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
2568 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
2569 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
2570 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
2571 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
2572
2573 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
2574 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
2575 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
2576 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
2577 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
2578
2579 default: 4096
c654b517 2580
ff94bc40
HS
2581 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
2582 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
2583 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
2584 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
2585 flash), this value is ignored.
2586
2587 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
2588 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
2589 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
2590 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
2591 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
2592 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
2593
2594 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
2595 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
2596 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
2597 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
2598 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
2599 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
2600 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
2601 partition.
2602
2603 default: 20
2604
2605 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
2606 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
2607 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
2608 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
2609 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
2610 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
2611 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
2612 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
2613 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
2614 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
2615 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
2616 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
2617
2618 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
2619 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
2620 without a fastmap.

d4ca31c4 2836 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 2837 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 2838 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.

2889 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
2890 simple memory test.

e8149522 2899- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
e61a7534 2900 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
e8149522
YS
2901 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
2902 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
2903 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
e61a7534 2904 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
e8149522
YS
2905 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
2906 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
2907
aabd7ddb 2908- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
6d0f6bcf 2909 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 2910 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 2911 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
2912 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2913 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2914 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 2915 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 2916 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 2917 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
2918
2919 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2920 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2921 be touched.
2922
2923 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2924 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2925 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2926 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
2927 problems.

6d0f6bcf 2929- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
c609719b
WD

6d0f6bcf 2938- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
2939 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
2940 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 2941 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 2942 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 2943
6d0f6bcf 2944- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
2945 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
2946 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
2947 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
2948 flash sector.
c609719b 2949
6d0f6bcf 2950- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
2951 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
2952
d59476b6
SG
2953- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
2954 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
2955 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
2956 will become available before relocation. The address is just
2957 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
2958 space.
2959
2960 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
2961 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
2962 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
b445bbb4 2963 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
d59476b6
SG
2964 U-Boot relocates itself.
2965
38687ae6
SG
2966- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
2967 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
2968 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
2969 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
2970
1dfdd9ba
TR
2971- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
2972 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
2973 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
2974 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
2975 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
2976 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
2977 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
2978 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
2979 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
2980 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
2981 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
2982 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
2983 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
2984 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
2985 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
2986 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
2987
2988 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
2989
6d0f6bcf 2990- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
2991 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2992 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 2993 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
2994 to adjust this setting to your needs.
2995
6d0f6bcf 2996- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
2997 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
2998 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
2999 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3000 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
1bce2aeb 3001 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
7d721e34 3002 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3003 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
3004 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3005 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3006 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 3007
fca43cc8
JR
3008- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3009 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3010 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3011 is enabled.
3012
3013- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3014 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3015 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3016
3017- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3018 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3019 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3020
6d0f6bcf 3021- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
3022 Max number of Flash memory banks
3023
6d0f6bcf 3024- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:

6d0f6bcf 3039- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
3040 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3041 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3042
6d0f6bcf 3043- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3044
3045 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3046 without this option such a download has to be
3047 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3048 copy from RAM to flash.
3049
3050 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3051 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3052 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3053 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3054 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3055

3087- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3088 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3089 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3090 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3091 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3092 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3093 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3094 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3095
6d0f6bcf 3096- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:

3097 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3098 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3099 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3100 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3101 on high Ethernet traffic.

2598090b
JH
3115 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3116 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3117 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.

b445bbb4 3142 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
2598090b
JH
3143
3144 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3145 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3146 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3147 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3148 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3149 ".flags" variable.
3150
bdf1fe4e
JH
3151 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a

3159- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3160 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this

c609719b
WD
3164The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3165of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3166following configurations:
3167
c3eb3fe4
MF
3168- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3169
3170 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3171 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3172
c609719b 3173BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
b445bbb4 3174in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3175console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3176U-Boot will hang.
3177
3178Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3179environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3180keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3181to save the current settings.
3182
0a85a9e7
LG
3183BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3184"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa
LG
3185environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3186but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

b74ab737
GL
3188- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3189
3190 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3191 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3192 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3193
e881cb56 3194Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 3195has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
00caae6d 3196created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use env_get_f()
c609719b
WD
3197until then to read environment variables.
3198
85ec0bcc
WD
3199The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3200is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3201with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3202necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3203"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3204have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
3205
3206Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3207the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 3208use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 3209

3221 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3222 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3223 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3224 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

SG
3226- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3227 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on

3248 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3249 PowerPC SOCs.
3250
3251- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3252 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3253 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3254
e46fedfe
TT
3255- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3256 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3257 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 3258 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
3259 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3260 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3261 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3262
3263 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3264 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3265
3266- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
3267 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3268 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
3269 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3270 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3271
3272- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3273 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3274 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3275 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3276
3277- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3278 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3279 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

43d9616c 3299 default value.
7f6c2cbc 3300
6d0f6bcf 3301 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
43d9616c
WD
3302 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
3303 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
b445bbb4 3304 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
43d9616c 3305 initializations.

3309 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
3310 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
3311 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
3312 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
b445bbb4 3313 is required.

8aa1a2d1 3476- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
3fafced7 3477 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS, RISC-V only] If this variable is defined, then certain
844f07d8
WD
3478 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
3479 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
3480 relocate itself into RAM.
3481
3482 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
3483 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
3484 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
3485 these initializations itself.
8aa1a2d1 3486
b5bd0982
SG
3487- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
3488 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
90211f77 3489 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
b5bd0982
SG
3490 instruction cache) is still performed.

3502- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
3503 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
3504 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
3505 previous 4k of the .text section.
3506
4213fc29
SG
3507- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
3508 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
3509 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
3510 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
3511 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
3512 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
3513 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
3514 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
3515
588a13f7
SG
3516- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
3517 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
3518 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

3528Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
3529-----------------------------------
3530
3531The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3532loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3533This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3534are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3535within that device.
3536
dcf1d774
ZQ
3537- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3538 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
3539 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3540 is also specified.
3541
3542- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
3543 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
f2717b47
TT
3544 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3545 is also specified.
3546
3547- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3548 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
3549 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3550 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3551 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3552
3553- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3554 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3555 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3556 virtual address in NOR flash.
3557
3558- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3559 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3560 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3561
3562- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3563 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
3564 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3565
292dc6c5
LG
3566- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
3567 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
3568 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
3569 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
3570 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
3571 master's memory space.

3573Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
3574---------------------------------------------------------
3575The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
3576"firmware".
3577This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3578are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3579within that device.

3593Reproducible builds
3594-------------------
3595
3596In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
3597process have to be set to a fixed value.
3598
3599This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
3600SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
3601option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
3602
3603SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.

3605Building the Software:
3606======================
3607
218ca724
WD
3608Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3609and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3610all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3611(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3612recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3613which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 3614
218ca724
WD
3615If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3616have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3617you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3618Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3619necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 3620
218ca724
WD
3621 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3622 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 3623
2f8d396b
PT
3624Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3625 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3626 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3627 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
3628
3629 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3630
3631 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3632 be executed on computers running Windows.
3633
218ca724
WD
3634U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3635sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
3636is done by typing:
3637
ab584d67 3638 make NAME_defconfig
c609719b 3639
ab584d67 3640where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 3641rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 3642
2729af9d
WD
3643Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3644 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3645 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3646 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 3647 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d 3648
ab584d67 3649 make TQM823L_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
3650 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
3651
ab584d67 3652 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
3653 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
3654
3655 etc.
3656
3657
3658Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3659images ready for download to / installation on your system:
3660
3661- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3662- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3663- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
3664
baf31249
MB
3665By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3666in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3667this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3668
36691. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3670
3671 make O=/tmp/build distclean
ab584d67 3672 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
baf31249
MB
3673 make O=/tmp/build all
3674
adbba996 36752. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
baf31249 3676
adbba996 3677 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
baf31249 3678 make distclean
ab584d67 3679 make NAME_defconfig
baf31249
MB
3680 make all
3681
adbba996 3682Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
baf31249
MB
3683variable.
3684
215bb1c1
DS
3685User specific CPPFLAGS, AFLAGS and CFLAGS can be passed to the compiler by
3686setting the according environment variables KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS.
3687For example to treat all compiler warnings as errors:
3688
3689 make KCFLAGS=-Werror
2729af9d
WD
3690
3691Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3692for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3693native "make".
3694
3695
3696If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3697to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3698steps:
3699
3c1496cd 37001. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
2729af9d 3701 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3c1496cd
PS
3702 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
37032. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3704 your board.
2729af9d
WD
37053. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3706 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
ab584d67 37074. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
2729af9d
WD
37085. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3709 to be installed on your target system.
37106. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3711 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
3712
3713
3714Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
3715==============================================================
3716
218ca724
WD
3717If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3718or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
3719provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3720the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 3721official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 3722
218ca724
WD
3723But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3724cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d 3725the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
6de80f21
SG
3726just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
3727configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
3728will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
3729for documentation.

3792Environment Variables:
3793======================
3794
3795U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
3796can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 3797
2729af9d
WD
3798Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
3799"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
3800without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
3801environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
3802working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
3803environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 3804
c96f86ee
WD
3805Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
3806
3807List of environment variables (most likely not complete):

c609719b 3818
7d721e34
BS
3819 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3820 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3821 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
3822 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
3823 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
3824 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
3825 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
3826 bootm_mapsize.
3827
c0f40859 3828 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
3829 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
3830 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
3831 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
3832 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
3833 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
3834 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
3835
3836 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3837 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3838 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
3839 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
3840 environment variable.
3841
4bae9090
BS
3842 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
3843 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
3844 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
3845
2729af9d
WD
3846 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
3847 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
3848 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
3849 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 3850
2729af9d
WD
3851 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3852 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3853 be automatically started (by internally calling
3854 "bootm")
38b99261 3855
2729af9d
WD
3856 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3857 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3858 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3859 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3860 data.
c609719b 3861
a28afca5
DL
3862 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
3863 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
3864 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
3865 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
3866 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
3867 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
3868 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
3869 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
3870 access it during the boot procedure.
3871
a28afca5
DL
3872 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
3873 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
3874 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
3875 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
3876 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
3877 must be accessible by the kernel.
3878
eea63e05
SG
3879 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
3880 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
3881 defined.
3882
17ea1177
WD
3883 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3884 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3885 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3886 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3887 it must be saved and board must be reset.
3888
2729af9d
WD
3889 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
3890 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3891 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3892 is usually what you want since it allows for
3893 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3894 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 3895 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment

3896 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3897 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3898 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3899 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 3900
2729af9d
WD
3901 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3902 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3903 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3904 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3905 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3906 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 3907
2729af9d 3908 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 3909
2729af9d
WD
3910 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3911 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3912 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3913 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3914 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3915 boot time on your system, but requires that this
3916 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

3943 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
3944 available network interfaces.
3945 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
3946
c96f86ee 3947 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d

3948 either succeed or fail without retrying.
3949 When set to "once" the network operation will
3950 fail when all the available network interfaces

b445bbb4 3957 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
8d51aacd
SG
3958 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
3959 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If

3971
3972 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
3973 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
3974 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
3975 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
3976 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
3977 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
3978 with unreliable TFTP servers.
3979
f5fb7346
AA
3980 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
3981 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
3982 can happen during a single file transfer before that
3983 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
3984 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
3985 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
3986 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
3987
c96f86ee 3988 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over

3992 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
3993 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
3994 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
3995 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
3996 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.

3998The following image location variables contain the location of images
3999used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4000not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4001variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4002server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4003loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4004flash or offset in NAND flash.
4005
4006*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
aed9fed9 4007boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some

4019depending the information provided by your boot server:
c609719b 4020

4025 hostname - Target hostname
4026 ipaddr - see above

2729af9d

4034 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4035 as type string and/or serial number
4036 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4037
2729af9d
WD
4038These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4039the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4040once they have been set once.
c609719b 4041
f07771cc 4042
2729af9d 4043Further special Environment Variables:
f07771cc 4044
2729af9d
WD
4045 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4046 with the "version" command. This variable is
4047 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

4054Callback functions for environment variables:
4055---------------------------------------------
4056
4057For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
b445bbb4 4058when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
170ab110
JH
4059be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4060deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4061effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4062
4063The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4064U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4065
4066These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4067static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4068in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4069associations. The list must be in the following format:
4070
4071 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4072 list = entry[,list]
4073
4074If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4075Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4076
4077Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4078with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4079override any association in the static list. You can define
4080CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
b445bbb4 4081".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
170ab110 4082
bdf1fe4e
JH
4083If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4084regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
4085the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.

4088Command Line Parsing:
4089=====================
f07771cc 4090
2729af9d
WD
4091There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4092the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 4093
2729af9d
WD
4094Old, simple command line parser:
4095--------------------------------
c609719b 4096
2729af9d
WD
4097- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4098- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 4099- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
4100- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4101 for example:
fe126d8b 4102 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
4103- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4104 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 4105
2729af9d
WD
4106Hush shell:
4107-----------
c609719b 4108
2729af9d
WD
4109- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4110 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4111 until...do...done, ...
4112- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4113 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4114 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4115 command
4116
4117General rules:
4118--------------
c609719b 4119
2729af9d
WD
4120(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4121 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4122 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4123 executed anyway.
c609719b 4124
2729af9d 4125(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 4126 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
4127 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4128 variables are not executed.
c609719b 4129
2729af9d
WD
4130Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4131=======================================
c609719b 4132
11ccc33f 4133Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
4134such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4135"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 4136
2729af9d
WD
4137Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4138MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4139"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 4140
2729af9d
WD
4141If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4142in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4143ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4144variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 4145
2729af9d
WD
4146o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4147 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 4148
2729af9d
WD
4149o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4150 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4151 used.
c609719b 4152
2729af9d
WD
4153o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4154 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 4155
2729af9d
WD
4156o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4157 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4158 warning is printed.
c609719b 4159
2729af9d 4160o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
bef1014b
JH
4161 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
4162 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
c609719b 4163
ecee9324 4164If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 4165will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
4166may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4167The naming convention is as follows:
4168"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

c609719b 4172
3310c549
MB
4173U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4174images in two formats:
4175
4176New uImage format (FIT)
4177-----------------------
4178
4179Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4180to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4181components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4182SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4183
4184
4185Old uImage format
4186-----------------
4187
4188Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4189preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4190details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
c609719b 4191

4211Linux Support:
4212==============
c609719b 4213
2729af9d
WD
4214Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4215easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4216U-Boot.
c609719b 4217
2729af9d
WD
4218U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4219special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4220"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4221instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4222serves several purposes:
c609719b 4223
2729af9d
WD
4224- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4225 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4226 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 4227
2729af9d
WD
4228- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4229 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 4230
2729af9d
WD
4231- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4232 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4233 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4234 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4235 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4236 software is easier now.

4239Linux HOWTO:
4240============
c609719b 4241
2729af9d
WD
4242Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4243---------------------------------------
c609719b 4244
2729af9d
WD
4245U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4246configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4247(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4248Linux :-).
c609719b 4249
a47a12be 4250But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 4251
2729af9d
WD
4252Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4253include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
4254Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4255and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 4256as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 4257
2eb31b13
SG
4258Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
4259If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
4260is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
4261doc/driver-model.
4262
c609719b 4263
2729af9d
WD
4264Configuring the Linux kernel:
4265-----------------------------
c609719b 4266
2729af9d
WD
4267No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4268device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4269
4270
4271Building a Linux Image:
4272-----------------------
c609719b 4273
2729af9d
WD
4274With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4275not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4276"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4277U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4278which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4279100% compatible format.
4280
4281Example:
4282
ab584d67 4283 make TQM850L_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
4284 make oldconfig
4285 make dep
4286 make uImage
4287
4288The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4289encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4290CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4291
4292* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4293
4294* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4295
4296 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4297 -R .note -R .comment \
4298 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4299
4300* compress the binary image:
4301
4302 gzip -9 linux.bin
4303
4304* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4305
4306 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4307 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4308 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 4309
c609719b 4310
2729af9d
WD
4311The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4312with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4313combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4314byte header containing information about target architecture,
4315operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4316stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4317
4318"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4319print the header information, or to build new images.
4320
4321In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4322contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4323checksum verification:
c609719b 4324
2729af9d
WD
4325 tools/mkimage -l image
4326 -l ==> list image header information
4327
4328The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4329from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4330
4331 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4332 -n name -d data_file image
4333 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4334 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4335 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4336 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4337 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4338 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4339 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4340 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4341
69459791
WD
4342Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4343address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4344kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
4345
4346- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4347- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4348
4349So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4350
4351 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4352 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 4353 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \

4362To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4363

4370 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4371
4372NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4373speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4374needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4375need to be uncompressed:
4376
a47a12be 4377 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d

4390Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
4391when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
4392
4393 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
4394 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \

4403The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
4404option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
4405option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
4406from the image:
4407
f41f5b7c
GMF
4408 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
4409 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
4410 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4411 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'

4413
4414Installing a Linux Image:
4415-------------------------
4416
4417To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4418you must convert the image to S-Record format:
4419
4420 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
4421
4422The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4423image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4424address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4425specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4426command.
4427
4428Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4429TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
4430
4431 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
4432
4433 .......... done

4462Boot Linux:
4463-----------
4464
4465The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
4466memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
4467of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
4468parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
4469"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
4470
4471
4472 => printenv bootargs
4473 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
4474
4475 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

4594More About U-Boot Image Types:
4595------------------------------
4596
4597U-Boot supports the following image types:
4598
4599 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4600 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4601 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4602 the Standalone Program.
4603 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4604 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4605 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4606 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4607 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4608 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4609 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4610 being started.
4611 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4612 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4613 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4614 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4615 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4616 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
4617
4618 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4619 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4620 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4621 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4622 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4623 a multiple of 4 bytes).
4624
4625 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4626 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4627 flash memory.
4628
4629 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4630 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4631 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4632 as command interpreter.

4634Booting the Linux zImage:
4635-------------------------
4636
4637On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
4638using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
4639as the syntax of "bootm" command.
4640
8ac28563 4641Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
017e1f3f
MV
4642kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
4643address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
4644format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

4646
4647Standalone HOWTO:
4648=================
4649
4650One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4651run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4652U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
4653
4654Two simple examples are included with the sources:
4655
4656"Hello World" Demo:
4657-------------------
4658
4659'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
4660application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
4661It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
4662like that:
4663
4664 => loads
4665 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
4666 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
4667 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...

4669 [connected]
4670 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
4671
4672 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
4673 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
4674 Hello World
4675 argc = 7
4676 argv[0] = "40004"
4677 argv[1] = "Hello"
4678 argv[2] = "World!"
4679 argv[3] = "This"
4680 argv[4] = "is"
4681 argv[5] = "a"
4682 argv[6] = "test."
4683 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
4684 Hit any key to exit ...
4685
4686 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
4687
4688Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
4689handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4690Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4691The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4692character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4693controlled by the following keys:
4694
4695 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
4696 b - enable interrupts and start timer
4697 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
4698 q - quit application
4699

4735Minicom warning:
4736================
4737
4738Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
4739"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
4740consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
4741Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
4742especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2

4756NetBSD Notes:
4757=============
4758
4759Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
4760(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
4761
4762Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
4763NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
4764need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
4765Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
4766attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
4767missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
4768
4769 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
4770 # mkdir powerpc
4771 # ln -s powerpc machine
4772 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4773 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
4774
4775Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4776and U-Boot include files.
4777
4778Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4779stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4780proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4781tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 4782meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

4785Implementation Internals:
4786=========================
4787
4788The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4789implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4790inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4791hardware.
4792
4793
4794Initial Stack, Global Data:
4795---------------------------
4796
4797The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4798starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4799system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4800This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4801is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4802at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4803options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4804models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4805MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4806locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
4807
218ca724 4808 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 4809 U-Boot mailing list:

4814 ...
4815
4816 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4817 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4818 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
4819 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
4820 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 4821 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
4822 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
4823 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
4824
4825 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
4826 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 4827 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
4828 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
4829 board designers haven't used it for something that would
4830 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
4831 used.
4832
6d0f6bcf 4833 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
4834 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
4835 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 4836 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
4837 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
4838 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
4839 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
4840 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
4841 you get the config right.

4845
4846It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
4847code for the initialization procedures:
4848
4849* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
4850 to write it.
4851
b445bbb4 4852* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
2729af9d
WD
4853 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
4854 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
4855
4856* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
4857 that.
4858
4859Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
b445bbb4 4860normal global data to share information between the code. But it
2729af9d
WD
4861turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
4862simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
4863functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
4864functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
4865the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
4866place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
4867reserve for this purpose.
4868
4869When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
4870relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
4871GCC's implementation.
4872
4873For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
4874 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 4875 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
4876 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
4877 R5-R10: parameter passing
4878 R13: small data area pointer
4879 R30: GOT pointer
4880 R31: frame pointer
4881
e6bee808
JT
4882 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
4883 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
4884 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 4885
e7670f6c 4886 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
4887
4888 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
4889 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
4890 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
4891 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
4892 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
4893 624 text + 127 data).
4894
4895On ARM, the following registers are used:
4896
4897 R0: function argument word/integer result
4898 R1-R3: function argument word
12eba1b4
JH
4899 R9: platform specific
4900 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
2729af9d
WD
4901 R11: argument (frame) pointer
4902 R12: temporary workspace
4903 R13: stack pointer
4904 R14: link register
4905 R15: program counter
4906
12eba1b4

4907 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data

4917 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

4952Memory Management:
4953------------------
4954
4955U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
4956MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
4957
4958The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
4959controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
4960memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
4961physical memory banks.
4962
4963U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
4964TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
4965booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
4966to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 4967memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
4968configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
4969Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
4970
4971Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
4972of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
4973
4974So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
4975this:
4976
4977 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
4978 :
4979 0x0000 1FFF
4980 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
4981 :
4982 :
4983
4984 :
4985 :
4986 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
4987 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
4988 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
4989 :
4990 0x00FD FFFF
4991 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
4992 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
4993 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
4994 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
4995
4996
4997System Initialization:
4998----------------------
c609719b 4999
2729af9d 5000In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 5001(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
b445bbb4 5002configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
2729af9d
WD
5003To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5004To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5005initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
2eb48ff7
HS
5006which provide such a feature like), or in a locked part of the data
5007cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, the caches and
5008the SIU.
2729af9d
WD
5009
5010Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5011preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5012(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5013on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5014programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5015simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5016banks.
5017
5018When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5019different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5020bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
50210x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5022contiguous memory starting from 0.
5023
5024Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5025and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5026Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5027pages, and the final stack is set up.
5028
5029Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5030until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5031running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5032new address in RAM.

5201* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5202 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5203 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.

5205* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5206 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5207 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5208 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5209 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5210 modification.

5212* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5213 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5214 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5215 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
