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

238Software Configuration:
239=======================
240
241Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
242rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
243
244There are two classes of configuration variables:
245
246* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
247 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
248 "CONFIG_".
249
250* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
251 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
252 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 253 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
254
255Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
256identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
257do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
258links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
259as an example here.
260
261
262Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
263---------------------------------------------------
264
265For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
266configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
267
268Example: For a TQM823L module type:
269
270 cd u-boot
271 make TQM823L_config
272
11ccc33f 273For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
c609719b
WD
274e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
275directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
276
277
278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
7f6c2cbc
WD
289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292

WD
357 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
358 of relying on the correctness of the configured
359 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
360 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
361 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 362 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)

368
66412c63 369- 85xx CPU Options:
ffd06e02
YS
370 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
371
372 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
373 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
374 compliance, among other possible reasons.
375
66412c63
KG
376 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
377
378 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
379 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
380 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
381
8f29084a
KG
382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
383

385 tree nodes for the given platform.
386
afa6b551
PK
387 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
388
389 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
390 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
391 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
392 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
393 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
394 purpose.
395
33eee330
SW
396 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
397
398 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
399 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
400 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
401
402 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
403 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
404
405 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
406 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
407
408 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
409 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
410 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
411 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
412
413 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
414 this erratum.
415
74fa22ed
PK
416 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND

490 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
491
492 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
493 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
494 better code density. For ARM architectures that support
495 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by

517 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
518
519 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
520 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
521 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
522 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
523 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
524 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
525 Linux kernel.
c609719b 526 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 527 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
c609719b

567 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
568
569 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
570 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
571 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
572 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
573 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
574 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

716- Console Rx buffer length
717 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
718 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
2b3f12c2 719 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
c92fac91
HS
720 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
721 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
722 the SMC.

9558b48a 724- Pre-Console Buffer:
4cf2609b
WD
725 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
726 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
727 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
728 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
729 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
730 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
731 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 732 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
733 earlier bytes are discarded.
734
735 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
736 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

738- Safe printf() functions
739 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
740 the printf() functions. These are defined in
741 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
742 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
743 If this option is not given then these functions will
744 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
745 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.

767 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
768 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
769 define a command string that is automatically executed
770 when no character is read on the console interface
771 within "Boot Delay" after reset.

773 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
43d9616c

774 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
775 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
776 environment value "bootargs".
c609719b

777
778 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c
WD
779 The value of these goes into the environment as
780 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
781 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 782 RAM and NFS.

783
784- Pre-Boot Commands:
785 CONFIG_PREBOOT
786
787 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
788 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
789 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
790 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
791 entering interactive mode.
792
793 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
794 automatically generated or modified. For an example
795 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
796 modified when the user holds down a certain
797 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
798 booting the systems
799
800- Serial Download Echo Mode:
801 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
802 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
803 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
804 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
805 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
806 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
807 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

926 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
927 support you can write:
928
602ad3b3

935 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 936 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
937 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
938 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
939 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
940 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
941 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
942 initial stack and some data.

947- Regular expression support:
948 CONFIG_REGEX
949 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
950 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
951 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
952 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
953
45ba8077
SG
954- Device tree:
955 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
956 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
957 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
958 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
959 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
960 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
961
2c0f79e4
SG
962 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
963 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
964
965 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
966 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
967 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
968 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
969 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
970 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 971
2c0f79e4
SG
972 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
973 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
974 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
975 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
976
977 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
978
979 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
980 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
981 still use the individual files if you need something more
982 exotic.
983
c609719b
WD
984- Watchdog:
985 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
986 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
987 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
988 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
989 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
990 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
991 available, then no further board specific code should
992 be needed to use it.
993
994 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
995 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
996 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
997 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
c609719b 998
c1551ea8
SR
999- U-Boot Version:
1000 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1001 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1002 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1003 version as printed by the "version" command.
a1ea8e51

1035 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1036 pins supported by a particular chip.
1037
e92739d3
PT
1038 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1039 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.

c609719b
WD
1041- Timestamp Support:
1042
43d9616c
WD
1043 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1044 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1045 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 1046 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .

1299 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1300 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
11ccc33f 1301 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
16c8d5e7
WD
1302 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1303 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
386eda02 1304 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
16c8d5e7

1367- ULPI Layer Support:
1368 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1369 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1370 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1371 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1372 viewport is supported.
1373 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1374 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
6d365ea0
LS
1375 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1376 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1377 the appropriate value in Hz.

1414 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1415 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1416 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1417
ea2453d5
PA
1418 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1419 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1420 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1421 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1422 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1423 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

04e5ae79 1517 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
7d3053fb
TT
1518 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1519 support, and should also define these other macros:

1602 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1603
1604 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1605 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1606 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1607 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1608 a per-section basis.

1625
7152b1d0 1626- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1627
8bde7f77
WD
1628 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1629 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1630 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1631 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1632 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1633 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1634 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1635 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1636
c0880485
NK
1637 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1638
1639 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1640 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1641 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1642 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1643 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1644 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1645 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1646 there is no need to set this option.
1647
1ca298ce
MW
1648 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1649
1650 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1651 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1652 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1653 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1654 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1655 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1656
1657 Example:
1658 setenv splashpos m,m
1659 => image at center of screen
1660
1661 setenv splashpos 30,20
1662 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1663
1664 setenv splashpos -10,m
1665 => vertically centered image
1666 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1667

SR
1668- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1669
1670 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1671 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1672 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1673
d5011762
AG
1674- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1675
1676 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1677 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1678 bmp command.

1680- Do compresssing for memory range:
1681 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1682
1683 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1684 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1685
c29fdfc1
WD
1686- Compression support:
1687 CONFIG_BZIP2
1688
1689 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1690 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1691 compressed images are supported.
1692
42d1f039 1693 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1694 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1695 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1696
fc9c1727
LCM
1697 CONFIG_LZMA
1698
1699 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1700 images is included.
1701
1702 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1703 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1704 formula:
1705
1706 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1707
1708 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1709 and Literal pos bits.
1710
1711 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1712 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1713 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1714 a very small buffer.
1715
1716 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1717 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1718 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

1731 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1732 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1733
1734 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1735
1736 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1737 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1738 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1739 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1740
1741 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1742
1743 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after

c609719b
WD
1804- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1805 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1806
1807 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1808 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1809 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1810 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1811 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1812 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1813 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1814 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1815 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1816
1817 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1818 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1819 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1820 4th and following
1821 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

fe389a82 1823- DHCP Advanced Options:
1fe80d79
JL
1824 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1825 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1826
1827 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1828 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1829 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1830 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1831 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1832 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1833 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1834 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1835 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1836 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1837 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1838 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2c00e099 1839 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
fe389a82 1840
5d110f0a
WC
1841 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1842 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 1843
2c00e099
JH
1844 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1845 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1846 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1847 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1848 is not available.
1849
fe389a82
SR
1850 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1851 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1852 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1853 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1854 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1855 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1856 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 1857 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
1858
1859 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1860 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1861 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 1862 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
1863 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1864 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 1865
d9a2f416
AV
1866 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1867
1868 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1869 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1870 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1871 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1872 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1873 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1874 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1875 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1876 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1877 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1878 this delay.

1880 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1881 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1882 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1883 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1884 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1885
1886 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1887
a3d991bd 1888 - CDP Options:

1895 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1896 of the device.
1897
1898 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1899
1900 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1901 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
11ccc33f 1902 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
a3d991bd
WD
1903
1904 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1905

1930- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1931
1932 Several configurations allow to display the current
1933 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1934 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1935 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1936 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1937 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1938 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1939 feature in U-Boot.
1940
1941- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1942
1943 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1944 on those systems that support this (optional)
1945 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1946
3f4978c7
HS
1947- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
1948
1949 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
1950 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
1951 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
1952 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
1953 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
1954 interface.
1955
1956 ported i2c driver to the new framework:
ea818dbb
HS
1957 - drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c:
1958 - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define
1959 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE
1960 for defining speed and slave address
1961 - activate second bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS2 define
1962 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_2 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_2
1963 for defining speed and slave address
1964 - activate third bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS3 define
1965 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_3 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_3
1966 for defining speed and slave address
1967 - activate fourth bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS4 define
1968 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_4 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_4
1969 for defining speed and slave address
3f4978c7 1970

HS
1971 - drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c:
1972 - activate i2c driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_FSL
1973 define CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_OFFSET for setting the register
1974 offset CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SPEED for the i2c speed and
1975 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first
1976 bus.
1977 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define
1978 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset
1979 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and
1980 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SLAVE for the slave address of the
1981 second bus.
1982
1f2ba722
SG
1983 - drivers/i2c/tegra_i2c.c:
1984 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_TEGRA
1985 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses with a fix speed from
1986 100000 and the slave addr 0!
1987
3f4978c7
HS
1988 additional defines:
1989
1990 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
1991 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
1992 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
1993 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
1994 omit this define.
1995
1996 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
1997 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
1998 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
1999 omit this define.
2000
2001 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2002 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2003 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2004 define.
2005
2006 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2007 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2008 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2009 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2010 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2011
2012 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2013 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2014 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2015 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2016 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2017 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2018 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2019 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2020 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2021 }
2022
2023 which defines
2024 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
ea818dbb
HS
2025 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2026 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2027 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2028 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4

2031 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2032 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
3f4978c7
HS
2033
2034 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2035
ea818dbb 2036- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
3f4978c7
HS
2037
2038 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2039 provides the following compelling advantages:
2040
2041 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2042 - approved multibus support
2043 - better i2c mux support
2044
2045 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2046
ea818dbb
HS
2047 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2048 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2049 for the selected CPU.
c609719b 2050
945af8d7 2051 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 2052 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
2053 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2054 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 2055 command line interface.
c609719b 2056
bb99ad6d 2057 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 2058
945af8d7 2059 There are several other quantities that must also be
ea818dbb 2060 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2061
6d0f6bcf 2062 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 2063 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 2064 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 2065 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 2066
8d321b81 2067 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 2068 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
2069 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2070 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2071 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 2072
5da71efa
EM
2073 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2074
2075 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2076 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2077 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2078 commands until the slave device responds.
2079
945af8d7 2080 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2081
ea818dbb 2082 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
b37c7e5e
WD
2083 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2084 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
2085
2086 I2C_INIT
2087
b37c7e5e 2088 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 2089 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 2090
ba56f625 2091 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 2092
c609719b
WD
2093 I2C_PORT
2094
43d9616c
WD
2095 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2096 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2097 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
2098
2099 I2C_ACTIVE
2100
2101 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2102 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2103 define can be null.
2104
b37c7e5e
WD
2105 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2106
c609719b
WD
2107 I2C_TRISTATE
2108
2109 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2110 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2111 define can be null.
2112
b37c7e5e
WD
2113 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2114
c609719b
WD
2115 I2C_READ
2116
472d5460
YS
2117 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2118 false if it is low.
c609719b 2119
b37c7e5e
WD
2120 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2121
c609719b
WD
2122 I2C_SDA(bit)
2123
472d5460
YS
2124 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2125 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2126
b37c7e5e 2127 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 2128 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 2129 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 2130
c609719b
WD
2131 I2C_SCL(bit)
2132
472d5460
YS
2133 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2134 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2135
b37c7e5e 2136 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 2137 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
ba56f625 2138 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
b37c7e5e 2139
c609719b
WD
2140 I2C_DELAY
2141
2142 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2143 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2144 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
2145 like:
2146
b37c7e5e 2147 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 2148
793b5726
MF
2149 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2150
2151 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2152 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2153 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2154 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2155
2156 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2157 the generic GPIO functions.
2158
6d0f6bcf 2159 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 2160
8bde7f77
WD
2161 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2162 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2163 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2164 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2165 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2166 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2167 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2168 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 2169
26a33504
RR
2170 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2171
2172 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2173 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2174 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2175 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2176 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2177 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2178 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2179 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2180
17ea1177
WD
2181 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2182
2183 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2184 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2185 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2186
bb99ad6d
BW
2187 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2188
2189 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
2190 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2191 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d
BW
2192 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2193
6d0f6bcf 2194 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
2195
2196 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 2197 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
2198 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2199 a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d
BW
2200
2201 e.g.
2202 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
c0f40859 2203 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d
BW
2204
2205 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2206
c0f40859 2207 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
6d0f6bcf 2208 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
bb99ad6d
BW
2209
2210 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2211
6d0f6bcf 2212 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
2213
2214 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2215 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2216
6d0f6bcf 2217 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2218
2219 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.

2221
6d0f6bcf 2222 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2223
2224 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2225 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2226
6d0f6bcf 2227 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
2228
2229 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2230 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2231 specified DTT device.
2232
2ac6985a
AD
2233 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2234
2235 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2236 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2237 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2238 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2239 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2240 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2241 the other.

2243- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2244
2245 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2246 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2247 D/As on the SACSng board)
2248
6639562e

2252 only SH7757 is supported.
2253
c609719b
WD
2254 CONFIG_SPI_X
2255
2256 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.

2258
2259 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2260
43d9616c
WD
2261 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2262 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2263 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2264 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2265 defined, the board configuration must define several
2266 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2267 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
c609719b 2268
04a9e118

2269 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2270
2271 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2272 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2273 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
c0f40859 2274 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an

6d0f6bcf 2300 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
c609719b 2301

6d0f6bcf 2304 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
c609719b 2305
43d9616c
WD
2306 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2307 status by the configuration function. This option
2308 will require a board or device specific function to
2309 be written.
c609719b
WD
2310
2311 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2312
2313 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2314 configuration driver.

6d0f6bcf 2319 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
c609719b 2320
43d9616c
WD
2321 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2322 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2323 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2324 indicated a CRC error).

2342
2343- Configuration Management:
2344 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2345
43d9616c
WD
2346 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2347 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2348
2349- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2350
43d9616c
WD
2351 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2352 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2353 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2354 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2355 protects these variables from casual modification by
2356 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2357 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2358 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2359
2360 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2361 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2362 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2363 these parameters.
2364
2365 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2366 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2367 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2368 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2369 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2370 read-only.]
2371
2598090b
JH
2372 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2373 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2374 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2375 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2376
c609719b
WD
2377- Protected RAM:
2378 CONFIG_PRAM
2379
2380 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2381 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2382 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2383 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2384 this default value by defining an environment
2385 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2386 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2387 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2388 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2389 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2390 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2391 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2392
fe126d8b 2393 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2394 saveenv
2395
2396 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2397 either, which results in a memory region that will
2398 not be affected by reboots.
2399
2400 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2401 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2402 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2403 following board configurations are known to be
2404 "pRAM-clean":
2405
1b0757ec
WD
2406 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,

c609719b 2409
40fef049
GB
2410- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2411 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2412 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2413 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2414 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2415 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2416 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2417
c609719b
WD
2418- Error Recovery:
2419 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2420
2421 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2422 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2423 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2424 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2425 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2426 useful during development since you can try to debug
2427 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2428
2429 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2430
43d9616c
WD
2431 This variable defines the number of retries for
2432 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2433 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2434 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2435

2436 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2437
2438 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2439
48a3e999
TK
2440 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2441
2442 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2443 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2444 try longer timeout such as
2445 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2446
c609719b 2447- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2448 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
04a85b3b
WD
2449
2450 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2451

2452 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2453 for the "hush" shell.
8078f1a5
WD
2454
2455
6d0f6bcf 2456 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2457
2458 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2459 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2460 powerful command line syntax like
2461 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2462 constructs ("shell scripts").
2463
2464 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2465 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2466
2467
6d0f6bcf 2468 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2469
2470 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2471 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2472 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2473
2474 Note:
2475
8bde7f77
WD
2476 In the current implementation, the local variables
2477 space and global environment variables space are
2478 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2479 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2480 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2481 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2482 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2483
43d9616c
WD
2484 Global environment variables are those you use
2485 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2486 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2487 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2488
2489 To store commands and special characters in a
2490 variable, please use double quotation marks
2491 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2492 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2493 symbols.

2495- Commandline Editing and History:
2496 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING

a8c7c708 2501- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2502 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2503
43d9616c
WD
2504 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2505 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2506 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2507
43d9616c
WD
2508 For example, place something like this in your
2509 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2510
2511 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2512 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2513 "myvar2=value2\0"
2514
43d9616c
WD
2515 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2516 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2517 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2518 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2519 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2520 You better know what you are doing here.
2521
43d9616c
WD
2522 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2523 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2524 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2525 boot command first.
c609719b 2526

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

2687
2eba38cf
SG
2688 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2689 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2690 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2691
94fd1316
SG
2692 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2693 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2694 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2695 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the

74752baa 3128 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
6113d3f2
BT
3129 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3130 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3131 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3132 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3133 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

3135 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3136 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3137 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3138 example if more than one image needs to be produced.

3140 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3141 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3142 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3143 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3144 bootm command when booting a FIT image.

c609719b 3150
11ccc33f 3151- Modem support enable:
c609719b
WD
3152 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3153
3154- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:

3156
3157- Modem debug support:
3158 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3159
43d9616c
WD
3160 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3161 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.

a8c7c708
WD
3163- Interrupt support (PPC):
3164
d4ca31c4
WD
3165 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3166 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 3167 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 3168 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 3169 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 3170 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 3171 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
3172 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3173 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3174 general timer_interrupt().
a8c7c708 3175
c609719b
WD
3176- General:
3177
43d9616c
WD
3178 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3179 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3180 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
11ccc33f 3181 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
3182 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3183 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3184 initialization.
c609719b 3185
43d9616c
WD
3186 If there are no modem init strings in the
3187 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3188 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
11ccc33f 3189 suppressed, though.

3193Board initialization settings:
3194------------------------------
3195
3196During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3197to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3198before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3199following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3200architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3201typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3202
3203- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3204- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3205- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3206- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

3208Configuration Settings:
3209-----------------------
3210
6d0f6bcf 3211- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
c609719b
WD
3212 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3213
2fb2604d
PT
3214- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3215 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3216
6d0f6bcf 3217- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
c609719b
WD
3218 prompt for user input.
3219
6d0f6bcf 3220- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
c609719b 3221
6d0f6bcf 3222- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
c609719b 3223
6d0f6bcf 3224- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
c609719b 3225
6d0f6bcf 3226- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
c609719b
WD
3227 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3228 booted
3229
6d0f6bcf 3230- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b
WD
3231 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3232
6d0f6bcf 3233- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 3234 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 3235
6d0f6bcf 3236- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
3237 If the board specific function
3238 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3239 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
3240 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3241
6d0f6bcf 3242- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
8bde7f77 3243 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 3244
6d0f6bcf 3245- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
c609719b
WD
3246 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3247
6d0f6bcf 3248- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
3249 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3250 simple memory test.
3251
6d0f6bcf 3252- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
8bde7f77 3253 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
c609719b 3254
6d0f6bcf 3255- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
5f535fe1
WD
3256 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3257 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3258
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3259- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3260 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 3261 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 3262 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3263 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3264 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3265 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3266 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3267 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3268 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
3269
3270 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3271 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3272 be touched.
3273
3274 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3275 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3276 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3277 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3278 problems.
3279
6d0f6bcf 3280- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
c609719b
WD
3281 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3282
6d0f6bcf 3283- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3284 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3285
6d0f6bcf 3286- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3287 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3288 Cogent motherboard)
3289
6d0f6bcf 3290- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3291 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3292
6d0f6bcf 3293- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3294 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3295 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 3296 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 3297 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 3298
6d0f6bcf 3299- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
3300 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3301 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3302 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3303 flash sector.
c609719b 3304
6d0f6bcf 3305- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3306 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3307
6d0f6bcf 3308- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
3309 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3310 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 3311 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
3312 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3313
6d0f6bcf 3314- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
3315 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3316 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
3317 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3318 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3319 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3320 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3321 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
3322 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3323 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3324 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 3325
fca43cc8
JR
3326- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3327 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3328 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3329 is enabled.
3330
3331- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3332 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3333 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3334
3335- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3336 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3337 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3338
6d0f6bcf 3339- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
3340 Max number of Flash memory banks
3341
6d0f6bcf 3342- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
c609719b
WD
3343 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3344
6d0f6bcf 3345- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3346 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3347
6d0f6bcf 3348- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3349 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3350
6d0f6bcf 3351- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3352 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3353
6d0f6bcf 3354- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3355 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3356
6d0f6bcf 3357- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
3358 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3359 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3360
6d0f6bcf 3361- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3362
3363 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3364 without this option such a download has to be
3365 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3366 copy from RAM to flash.
3367
3368 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3369 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3370 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3371 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3372 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3373
6d0f6bcf 3374- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3375 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
3376 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3377
00b1883a 3378- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33
WD
3379 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3380 in the drivers directory
c609719b 3381
91809ed5
PZ
3382- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3383 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3384 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3385 to the MTD layer.
3386
6d0f6bcf 3387- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
3388 Use buffered writes to flash.
3389
3390- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3391 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3392 write commands.
3393
6d0f6bcf 3394- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3395 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3396 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3397 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3398 optionally available.
3399
9a042e9c
JVB
3400- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3401 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3402 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3403 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3404
352ef3f1
SR
3405- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3406 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3407 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3408 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3409 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3410 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3411 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3412 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3413
6d0f6bcf 3414- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
3415 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3416 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3417 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3418 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3419 on high Ethernet traffic.
53cf9435

3423
071bc923
WD
3424 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3425 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3426 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3427 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3428 lib/hashtable.c for details.

3432 Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when
3433 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3434 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3435 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.

3458 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3459 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3460 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3461
3462 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3463 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3464 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3465 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3466 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3467 ".flags" variable.

3473- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3474 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3475 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3476 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3477 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3478 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3479 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3480 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3481 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3482
632efa74
SG
3483- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3484 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3485 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3486 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3487 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.

3494The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3495of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3496following configurations:
3497
c3eb3fe4
MF
3498- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3499
3500 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3501 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3502
5a1aceb0 3503- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3504
3505 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3506
3507 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3508 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3509 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3510 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3511 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3512 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3513 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3514 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3515 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3516 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3517 between U-Boot and the environment.
3518
0e8d1586 3519 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3520
3521 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3522 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3523 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3524 for this sector is given here.
3525
6d0f6bcf 3526 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.

3530 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3531 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3532 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).

3536 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3537
3538
3539 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3540 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3541 the environment.
3542
0e8d1586 3543 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3544
5a1aceb0 3545 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3546 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3547 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3548 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3549
3550 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3551 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3552 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3553 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3554 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3555 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3556 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3557 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3558 RAM, your target system will be dead.

43d9616c 3563 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 3564 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 3565 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 3566 a "saveenv" operation.

9314cee6 3573- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD

3575 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3576 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3577 environment.

11ccc33f 3582 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
3583 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3584 can just be read and written to, without any special
3585 provision.
3586
3587BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3588in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3589console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3590U-Boot will hang.
3591
3592Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3593environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3594keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3595to save the current settings.

JCPV
3603 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:

3607 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3608
6d0f6bcf 3609 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3610 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3611 The default address is zero.
3612
6d0f6bcf 3613 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
3614 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3615 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3616 would require six bits.
3617
6d0f6bcf 3618 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 3619 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between

c609719b 3621
6d0f6bcf 3622 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3623 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3624 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3625
6d0f6bcf 3626 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
3627 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3628 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3629 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3630 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3631 byte chips.
3632
3633 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3634 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3635 in the chip address.
3636
6d0f6bcf 3637 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:

3642 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3643
3644 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3645 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3646 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3647 EEPROM. For example:
3648
ea818dbb 3649 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
548738b4

3671
3672 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3673 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3674
3675 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3676 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3677 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 3678 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7
LG
3679
3680BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3681"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa

3682environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3683but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

JCPV
3690 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:

3693 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
fdd813de

3694 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3695 aligned to an erase block boundary.
5779d8d9 3696
fdd813de 3697 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
e443c944 3698
0e8d1586 3699 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
3700 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3701 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 3702 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
3703 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3704
3705 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3706
3707 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3708 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3709 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3710 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3711 the range to be avoided.
3712
3713 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3714
3715 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3716 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3717 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3718 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3719 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
e443c944 3720
b74ab737
GL
3721- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3722
3723 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the

3725 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3726
2b74433f
JH
3727- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3728
3729 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3730 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3731 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3732
3733 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3734
3735 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3736
3737 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3738
3739 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3740 environment in.
3741
785881f7
JH
3742 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3743
3744 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3745 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3746 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3747
2b74433f
JH
3748 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3749 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

3752 when storing the env in UBI.
3753
06e4ae5f
SW
3754- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3755
3756 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3757 environment.
3758
3759 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3760
3761 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3762
3763 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3764
3765 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3766 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3767 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3768
3769 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3770 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3771
3772 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3773 area within the specified MMC device.
3774
5c088ee8
SW
3775 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3776 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3777 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3778 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3779 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3780 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3781 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3782
06e4ae5f
SW
3783 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3784 MMC sector boundary.
3785
3786 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3787
3788 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3789 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3790 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3791 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3792
5c088ee8
SW
3793 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3794 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3795
06e4ae5f
SW
3796 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3797 an MMC sector boundary.
3798
3799 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3800
3801 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3802 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3803 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3804
6d0f6bcf 3805- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
3806
3807 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3808 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3809 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3810 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3811 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3812 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3813 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3814
e881cb56 3815Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 3816has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 3817created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
3818until then to read environment variables.
3819
85ec0bcc
WD
3820The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3821is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3822with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3823necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3824"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3825have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
3826
3827Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3828the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 3829use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 3830
6d0f6bcf 3831- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
42d1f039 3832 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.

6d0f6bcf 3834 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
fc3e2165
WD
3835 also needs to be defined.
3836
6d0f6bcf 3837- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

3842 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3843 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3844 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3845 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

3847- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3848 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on

3850 to do this.
3851
e2e3e2b1
SG
3852- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3853 Similar to the previous option, but display this information

3871 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3872 PowerPC SOCs.
3873
3874- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3875 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3876 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3877
3878 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3879 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3880
3881- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3882 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3883 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 3884 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
3885 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3886 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3887 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3888
3889 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3890 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3891
3892- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
3893 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3894 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
3895 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3896 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3897
3898- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3899 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3900 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3901 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3902
3903- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3904 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3905 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

3963 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
3964 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
c609719b 3965 data is located at the end of the available space
553f0982 3966 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3967 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
3968 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
3969 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.

3971 Note:
3972 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
3973 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
6d0f6bcf 3974 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
c609719b

3975 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
3976 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4141 The syntax is:
4142
4143 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4144

WD
4169 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4170 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4171 relocate itself into RAM.
4172
4173 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4174 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4175 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4176 these initializations itself.

4188- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4189 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4190 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4191 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4192 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4193 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4194 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4195 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

4212Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4213-----------------------------------
4214
4215The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4216loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4217This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4218are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4219within that device.
4220
4221- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4222 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4223 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4224 is also specified.
4225
4226- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4227 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4228 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4229 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4230 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4231
4232- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4233 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4234 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4235 virtual address in NOR flash.
4236
4237- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4238 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4239 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4240
4241- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4242 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4243 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4244
4245- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4246 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4247 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4248
292dc6c5
LG
4249- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4250 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4251 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
4252 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4253 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4254 master's memory space.

4256Building the Software:
4257======================
4258
218ca724
WD
4259Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4260and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4261all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4262(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4263recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4264which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 4265
218ca724
WD
4266If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4267have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4268you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4269Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4270necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 4271
218ca724
WD
4272 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4273 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 4274
2f8d396b
PT
4275Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4276 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4277 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4278 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4279
4280 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4281
4282 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4283 be executed on computers running Windows.
4284
218ca724
WD
4285U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4286sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
4287is done by typing:
4288
4289 make NAME_config
4290
218ca724 4291where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 4292rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 4293
2729af9d
WD
4294Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4295 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4296 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4297 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 4298 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
4299
4300 make TQM823L_config
4301 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4302
4303 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4304 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4305
4306 etc.
4307
4308
4309Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4310images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4311
4312- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4313- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4314- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4315
baf31249
MB
4316By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4317in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4318this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4319
43201. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4321
4322 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4323 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4324 make O=/tmp/build all
4325
43262. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4327
4328 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4329 make distclean
4330 make NAME_config
4331 make all
4332
4333Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4334variable.
4335
2729af9d
WD
4336
4337Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4338for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4339native "make".
4340
4341
4342If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4343to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4344steps:
4345
43461. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
4347 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4348 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
43492. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4350 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4351 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
43523. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4353 your board
43543. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4355 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
43564. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
43575. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4358 to be installed on your target system.
43596. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4360 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4361

4366If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4367or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
4368provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4369the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 4370official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 4371
218ca724
WD
4372But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4373cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
4374the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4375just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
4376for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4377select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4378environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4379you can type
2729af9d
WD
4380
4381 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4382
4383or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4384
4385 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4386
218ca724
WD
4387When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4388U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4389setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4390built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4391<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4392location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4393variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
4394
4395 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4396 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4397 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4398
218ca724
WD
4399With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4400log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4401during the whole build process.

4464Environment Variables:
4465======================
4466
4467U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4468can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 4469
2729af9d
WD
4470Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4471"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4472without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4473environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4474working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4475environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 4476
c96f86ee
WD
4477Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4478
4479List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
c609719b 4480
2729af9d 4481 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
c609719b 4482
2729af9d 4483 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
c609719b 4484
2729af9d 4485 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 4486
2729af9d 4487 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 4488
2729af9d 4489 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 4490
7d721e34
BS
4491 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4492 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4493 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4494 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4495 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4496 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
4497 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4498 bootm_mapsize.
4499
c0f40859 4500 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
4501 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4502 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4503 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4504 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4505 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4506 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
4507
4508 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4509 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4510 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4511 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4512 environment variable.
4513
4bae9090
BS
4514 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4515 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4516 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4517
2729af9d
WD
4518 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4519 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4520 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4521 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 4522
2729af9d
WD
4523 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4524 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4525 be automatically started (by internally calling
4526 "bootm")
38b99261 4527
2729af9d
WD
4528 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4529 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4530 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4531 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4532 data.
c609719b 4533
a28afca5
DL
4534 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4535 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
4536 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4537 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4538 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4539 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4540 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4541 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4542 access it during the boot procedure.
4543
a28afca5
DL
4544 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4545 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4546 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4547 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4548 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4549 must be accessible by the kernel.
4550
eea63e05
SG
4551 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4552 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4553 defined.
4554
17ea1177
WD
4555 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4556 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4557 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4558 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4559 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4560
2729af9d
WD
4561 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4562 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4563 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4564 is usually what you want since it allows for
4565 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4566 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 4567 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
4568 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4569 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4570 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4571 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 4572
2729af9d
WD
4573 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4574 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4575 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4576 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4577 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4578 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 4579
2729af9d 4580 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 4581
2729af9d
WD
4582 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4583 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4584 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4585 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4586 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4587 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4588 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 4589
2729af9d 4590 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 4591
2729af9d
WD
4592 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4593 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
c609719b 4594
2729af9d 4595 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
a3d991bd 4596
2729af9d 4597 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
a3d991bd 4598
2729af9d 4599 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
a3d991bd 4600
2729af9d 4601 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
a3d991bd 4602
2729af9d 4603 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
c609719b 4604
e2a53458 4605 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
c609719b 4606
e2a53458
MF
4607 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4608 For example you can do the following
c609719b 4609
48690d80
HS
4610 => setenv ethact FEC
4611 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4612 => setenv ethact SCC
4613 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
c609719b 4614
e1692577
MF
4615 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4616 available network interfaces.
4617 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4618
c96f86ee 4619 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
4620 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4621 When set to "once" the network operation will
4622 fail when all the available network interfaces
4623 are tried once without success.
4624 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4625 themselves.
c609719b 4626
b4e2f89d 4627 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 4628
28cb9375 4629 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
4630 UDP source port.
4631
28cb9375
WD
4632 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4633 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4634
c96f86ee
WD
4635 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4636 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4637
4638 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4639 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4640 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4641 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4642 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4643 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4644 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4645
4646 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 4647 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 4648 VLAN tagged frames.
c609719b 4649

JH
4650The following image location variables contain the location of images
4651used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4652not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4653variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4654server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4655loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4656flash or offset in NAND flash.
4657
4658*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4659boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4660boards use these variables for other purposes.

4671depending the information provided by your boot server:
c609719b 4672
2729af9d

4673 bootfile - see above
4674 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4675 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4676 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4677 hostname - Target hostname
4678 ipaddr - see above
4679 netmask - Subnet Mask
4680 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4681 serverip - see above
c1551ea8 4682
c1551ea8 4683
2729af9d 4684There are two special Environment Variables:
c1551ea8 4685
2729af9d
WD
4686 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4687 as type string and/or serial number
4688 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4689
2729af9d
WD
4690These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4691the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4692once they have been set once.
c609719b 4693
f07771cc 4694
2729af9d 4695Further special Environment Variables:
f07771cc 4696
2729af9d
WD
4697 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4698 with the "version" command. This variable is
4699 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

4706Callback functions for environment variables:
4707---------------------------------------------
4708
4709For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4710when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4711be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4712deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4713effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4714
4715The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4716U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4717
4718These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4719static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4720in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4721associations. The list must be in the following format:
4722
4723 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4724 list = entry[,list]
4725
4726If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4727Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4728
4729Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4730with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4731override any association in the static list. You can define
4732CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4733".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

4736Command Line Parsing:
4737=====================
f07771cc 4738
2729af9d
WD
4739There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4740the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 4741
2729af9d
WD
4742Old, simple command line parser:
4743--------------------------------
c609719b 4744
2729af9d
WD
4745- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4746- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 4747- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
4748- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4749 for example:
fe126d8b 4750 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
4751- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4752 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 4753
2729af9d
WD
4754Hush shell:
4755-----------
c609719b 4756
2729af9d
WD
4757- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4758 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4759 until...do...done, ...
4760- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4761 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4762 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4763 command
4764
4765General rules:
4766--------------
c609719b 4767
2729af9d
WD
4768(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4769 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4770 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4771 executed anyway.
c609719b 4772
2729af9d 4773(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 4774 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
4775 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4776 variables are not executed.
c609719b 4777
2729af9d
WD
4778Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4779=======================================
c609719b 4780
11ccc33f 4781Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
4782such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4783"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 4784
2729af9d
WD
4785Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4786MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4787"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 4788
2729af9d
WD
4789If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4790in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4791ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4792variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 4793
2729af9d

4817Image Formats:
4818==============
c609719b 4819

MB
4820U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4821images in two formats:
4822
4823New uImage format (FIT)
4824-----------------------
4825
4826Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4827to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4828components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4829SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4830
4831
4832Old uImage format
4833-----------------
4834
4835Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4836preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4837details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

4858Linux Support:
4859==============
c609719b 4860
2729af9d
WD
4861Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4862easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4863U-Boot.
c609719b 4864
2729af9d
WD
4865U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4866special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4867"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4868instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4869serves several purposes:
c609719b 4870
2729af9d
WD
4871- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4872 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4873 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 4874
2729af9d
WD
4875- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4876 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 4877
2729af9d
WD
4878- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4879 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4880 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4881 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4882 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4883 software is easier now.

4886Linux HOWTO:
4887============
c609719b 4888
2729af9d
WD
4889Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4890---------------------------------------
c609719b 4891
2729af9d
WD
4892U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4893configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4894(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4895Linux :-).
c609719b 4896
a47a12be 4897But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 4898
2729af9d
WD
4899Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4900include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
4901Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4902and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 4903as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 4904
c609719b 4905
2729af9d
WD
4906Configuring the Linux kernel:
4907-----------------------------
c609719b 4908
2729af9d
WD
4909No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4910device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4911
4912
4913Building a Linux Image:
4914-----------------------
c609719b 4915
2729af9d
WD
4916With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4917not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4918"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4919U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4920which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4921100% compatible format.
4922
4923Example:
4924
4925 make TQM850L_config
4926 make oldconfig
4927 make dep
4928 make uImage
4929
4930The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4931encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4932CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4933
4934* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4935
4936* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4937
4938 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4939 -R .note -R .comment \
4940 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4941
4942* compress the binary image:
4943
4944 gzip -9 linux.bin
4945
4946* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4947
4948 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4949 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4950 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 4951
c609719b 4952
2729af9d
WD
4953The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4954with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4955combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4956byte header containing information about target architecture,
4957operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4958stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4959
4960"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4961print the header information, or to build new images.
4962
4963In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4964contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4965checksum verification:
c609719b 4966
2729af9d
WD
4967 tools/mkimage -l image
4968 -l ==> list image header information
4969
4970The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4971from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4972
4973 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4974 -n name -d data_file image
4975 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4976 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4977 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4978 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4979 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4980 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4981 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4982 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4983
69459791
WD
4984Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4985address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4986kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
4987
4988- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4989- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4990
4991So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4992
4993 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4994 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 4995 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD

5001 Load Address: 0x00000000
5002 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5003
5004To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5005
5006 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5007 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

5011 Load Address: 0x00000000
5012 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5013
5014NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5015speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5016needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5017need to be uncompressed:
5018
a47a12be 5019 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d
WD
5020 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5021 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5022 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \

5032Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5033when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5034
5035 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \

5042 Load Address: 0x00000000
5043 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5044
5045
5046Installing a Linux Image:
5047-------------------------
5048
5049To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5050you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5051
5052 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5053
5054The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5055image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5056address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5057specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5058command.
5059
5060Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5061TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5062
5063 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5064
5065 .......... done
5066 Erased 8 sectors
5067
5068 => loads 40100000
5069 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

218ca724 5080this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data

5098memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5099of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5100parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5101"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5102
5103
5104 => printenv bootargs

5226More About U-Boot Image Types:
5227------------------------------
5228
5229U-Boot supports the following image types:
5230
5231 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5232 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5233 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5234 the Standalone Program.
5235 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5236 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5237 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5238 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5239 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5240 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5241 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5242 being started.
5243 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5244 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5245 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5246 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5247 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5248 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5249
5250 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5251 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5252 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5253 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5254 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5255 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5256
5257 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5258 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5259 flash memory.
5260
5261 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5262 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5263 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5264 as command interpreter.

5266Booting the Linux zImage:
5267-------------------------
5268
5269On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5270using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5271as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5272
8ac28563 5273Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
017e1f3f
MV
5274kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5275address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5276format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5279Standalone HOWTO:
5280=================
5281
5282One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5283run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5284U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5285
5286Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5287
5288"Hello World" Demo:
5289-------------------
5290
5291'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5292application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5293It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5294like that:
5295
5296 => loads
5297 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5298 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
5299 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5300 [file transfer complete]
5301 [connected]
5302 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5303
5304 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5305 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5306 Hello World
5307 argc = 7
5308 argv[0] = "40004"
5309 argv[1] = "Hello"
5310 argv[2] = "World!"
5311 argv[3] = "This"
5312 argv[4] = "is"
5313 argv[5] = "a"
5314 argv[6] = "test."
5315 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5316 Hit any key to exit ...
5317
5318 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5319
5320Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5321handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5322Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5323The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5324character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5325controlled by the following keys:
5326
5327 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5328 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5329 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5330 q - quit application
5331
5332 => loads

5367Minicom warning:
5368================
5369
5370Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5371"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5372consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5373Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5374especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
5375use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5376http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5377for help with kermit.
5378

5379
5380Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5381configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:

5388NetBSD Notes:
5389=============
5390
5391Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5392(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5393
5394Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5395NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5396need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5397Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5398attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5399missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5400
5401 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5402 # mkdir powerpc
5403 # ln -s powerpc machine
5404 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5405 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5406
5407Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5408and U-Boot include files.
5409
5410Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5411stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5412proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5413tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 5414meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5417Implementation Internals:
5418=========================
5419
5420The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5421implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5422inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5423hardware.
5424
5425
5426Initial Stack, Global Data:
5427---------------------------
5428
5429The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5430starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5431system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5432This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5433is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5434at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5435options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5436models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5437MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5438locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5439
218ca724 5440 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 5441 U-Boot mailing list:

5446 ...
5447
5448 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5449 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5450 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5451 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5452 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 5453 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
5454 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5455 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5456
5457 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5458 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 5459 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
5460 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5461 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5462 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5463 used.
5464
6d0f6bcf 5465 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
5466 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5467 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 5468 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
5469 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5470 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5471 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5472 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5473 you get the config right.

5477
5478It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5479code for the initialization procedures:
5480
5481* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5482 to write it.
5483
11ccc33f 5484* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
5485 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5486 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5487
5488* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5489 that.
5490
5491Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5492normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5493turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5494simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5495functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5496functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5497the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5498place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5499reserve for this purpose.
5500
5501When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5502relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5503GCC's implementation.
5504
5505For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5506 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 5507 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
5508 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5509 R5-R10: parameter passing
5510 R13: small data area pointer
5511 R30: GOT pointer
5512 R31: frame pointer
5513
e6bee808
JT
5514 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5515 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5516 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 5517
e7670f6c 5518 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
5519
5520 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5521 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5522 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5523 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5524 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5525 624 text + 127 data).

5570
5571Memory Management:
5572------------------
5573
5574U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5575MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5576
5577The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5578controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5579memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5580physical memory banks.
5581
5582U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5583TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5584booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5585to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 5586memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
5587configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5588Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5589
5590Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5591of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5592
5593So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5594this:
5595
5596 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5597 :
5598 0x0000 1FFF
5599 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5600 :
5601 :
5602
5603 :
5604 :
5605 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5606 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5607 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5608 :
5609 0x00FD FFFF
5610 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5611 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5612 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5613 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5614
5615
5616System Initialization:
5617----------------------
c609719b 5618
2729af9d 5619In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 5620(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
5621configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5622To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5623To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5624initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5625which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5626part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5627the caches and the SIU.
5628
5629Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5630preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5631(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5632on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5633programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5634simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5635banks.
5636
5637When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5638different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5639bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
56400x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5641contiguous memory starting from 0.
5642
5643Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5644and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5645Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5646pages, and the final stack is set up.
5647
5648Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5649until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5650running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5651new address in RAM.

5728Coding Standards:
5729-----------------
c609719b 5730
2729af9d 5731All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
2c051651 5732coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
7ca9296e 5733"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
2c051651
DZ
5734
5735Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5736MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5737reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5738sources.
5739
5740Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5741Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5742in your code.
c609719b 5743
2729af9d
WD
5744Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5745- remove any trailing white space
7ca9296e 5746- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
2729af9d 5747- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
7ca9296e 5748- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
2729af9d 5749- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
180d3f74 5750
2729af9d
WD
5751Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5752with a request to reformat the changes.

5755Submitting Patches:
5756-------------------
c609719b 5757
2729af9d
WD
5758Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5759establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5760may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
c609719b 5761
0d28f34b 5762Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
218ca724 5763
0668236b
WD
5764Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5765see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5766
2729af9d
WD
5767When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5768it:
c609719b 5769
2729af9d
WD
5770* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5771 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5772 patch actually fixes something.
c609719b 5773
2729af9d
WD
5774* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5775 implementation.
c609719b 5776
2729af9d 5777* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
c609719b 5778
2729af9d 5779* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
c609719b 5780
2729af9d 5781* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
7ca9296e 5782 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too.
c609719b 5783
2729af9d
WD
5784* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5785 document these in the README file.
c609719b 5786
218ca724
WD
5787* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5788 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 5789 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
5790 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5791 with some other mail clients.
5792
5793 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5794 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5795 GNU diff.
c609719b 5796
218ca724
WD
5797 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5798 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5799 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5800 affected files).
6dff5529 5801
218ca724
WD
5802 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5803 and compressed attachments must not be used.
c609719b 5804
2729af9d
WD
5805* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5806 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
52f52c14 5807
2729af9d
WD
5808* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5809 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

2729af9d 5812Notes:
c609719b 5813
2729af9d
WD
5814* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5815 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5816 for any of the boards.
c609719b 5817
2729af9d
WD
5818* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5819 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5820 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
c609719b 5821
2729af9d
WD
5822* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5823 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5824 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5825 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5826 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5827 modification.

WD
5829* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5830 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5831 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5832 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
