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

239Software Configuration:
240=======================
241
242Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
243rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
244
245There are two classes of configuration variables:
246
247* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
248 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
249 "CONFIG_".
250
251* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
252 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
253 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 254 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
255
256Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
257identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
258do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
259links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
260as an example here.
261
262
263Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
264---------------------------------------------------
265
266For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
267configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
268
269Example: For a TQM823L module type:
270
271 cd u-boot
272 make TQM823L_config
273
11ccc33f 274For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
c609719b
WD
275e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
276directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
277
278
279Configuration Options:
280----------------------
281
282Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
283such information is kept in a configuration file
284"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
285
286Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
287"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
288
289
7f6c2cbc
WD
290Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
291kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
292build a config tool - later.
293

355
6d0f6bcf 356 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
75d1ea7f 357
ba56f625
WD
358 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
359 of relying on the correctness of the configured
360 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
361 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
362 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 363 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
75d1ea7f 364
506f3918
HS
365 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
366
367 Define this option if you want to enable the
368 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
369
66412c63 370- 85xx CPU Options:
ffd06e02
YS
371 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
372
373 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
374 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
375 compliance, among other possible reasons.
376
66412c63
KG
377 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
378
379 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
380 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
381 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
382
8f29084a
KG
383 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
384
385 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
386 tree nodes for the given platform.
387
afa6b551
PK
388 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
389
390 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
391 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
392 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
393 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
394 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
395 purpose.
396
33eee330
SW
397 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
398
399 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
400 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
401 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
402
403 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
404 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
405
406 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
407 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
408
409 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
410 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
411 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
412 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
413
414 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
415 this erratum.
416
417 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
418
419 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
420 according to the A004510 workaround.
421
6cb461b4
DS
422- Generic CPU options:
423 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
424
425 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
426 values is arch specific.

6d0f6bcf 435 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
cf48eb9a 436
0b953ffc
MK
437 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
438 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
cf48eb9a 439 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
0b953ffc 440 by this value.
cf48eb9a 441
92bbd64e
DS
442- MIPS CPU options:
443 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
444
445 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
446 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
447 relocation.
448
449 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE
450

480 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
481
482 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
483 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
484 better code density. For ARM architectures that support
485 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
486 GCC.

c609719b
WD
489 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
490
491 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
492 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
493 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
494 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
495 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
496 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
497 Linux kernel.
c609719b 498 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 499 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
c609719b

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

551 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
552 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
553 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
554 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
555 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
556 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

609 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
610 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
611 this variable to initialize the extra register.

620
621 16550 UART set the Transmitter Empty (TEMT) Bit when all output
622 has finished and the transmitter is totally empty. U-Boot waits
623 for this bit to be set to initialize the serial console. On some
624 broken platforms this bit is not set in SPL making U-Boot to
625 hang while waiting for TEMT. Define this option to avoid it.

696- Console Rx buffer length
697 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
698 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
2b3f12c2 699 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
c92fac91
HS
700 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
701 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
702 the SMC.
703
9558b48a 704- Pre-Console Buffer:
4cf2609b
WD
705 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
706 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
707 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
708 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
709 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
710 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
711 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 712 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
713 earlier bytes are discarded.
714
715 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
716 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

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

727- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
728 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
729 set to -1 to disable autoboot.

732
733 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
734 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.

747 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
748 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
749 define a command string that is automatically executed
750 when no character is read on the console interface
751 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
752
753 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
43d9616c

754 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
755 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
756 environment value "bootargs".
c609719b
WD
757
758 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c
WD
759 The value of these goes into the environment as
760 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
761 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 762 RAM and NFS.
c609719b

763
764- Pre-Boot Commands:
765 CONFIG_PREBOOT
766
767 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
768 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
769 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
770 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
771 entering interactive mode.
772
773 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
774 automatically generated or modified. For an example
775 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
776 modified when the user holds down a certain
777 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
778 booting the systems
779
780- Serial Download Echo Mode:
781 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
782 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
783 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
784 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
785 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
786 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
787 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
788
602ad3b3 789- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
c609719b

924 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
925 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
926 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
927
2c0f79e4
SG
928 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
929 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
930
931 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
932 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
933 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
934 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
935 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
936 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 937
2c0f79e4
SG
938 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
939 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
940 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
941 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
942
943 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
944
945 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
946 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
947 still use the individual files if you need something more
948 exotic.

950- Watchdog:
951 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
952 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
953 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
954 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
955 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
956 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
957 available, then no further board specific code should
958 be needed to use it.
959
960 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
961 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
962 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
963 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.

1229 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1230 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
11ccc33f 1231 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
16c8d5e7
WD
1232 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1233 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
386eda02 1234 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
16c8d5e7

1500 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1501 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1502 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE

d791b1dc 1523
8bde7f77
WD
1524 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1525 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1526 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1527 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1528 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1529 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1530 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1531 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1532
1ca298ce
MW
1533 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1534
1535 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1536 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1537 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1538 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1539 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1540 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1541
1542 Example:
1543 setenv splashpos m,m
1544 => image at center of screen
1545
1546 setenv splashpos 30,20
1547 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1548
1549 setenv splashpos -10,m
1550 => vertically centered image
1551 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

1555 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1556 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1557 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1558
d5011762
AG
1559- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1560
1561 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1562 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1563 bmp command.
1564

1565- Do compresssing for memory range:
1566 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1567
1568 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1569 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1570
c29fdfc1
WD
1571- Compression support:
1572 CONFIG_BZIP2
1573
1574 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1575 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1576 compressed images are supported.
1577
42d1f039 1578 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1579 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1580 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1581
fc9c1727
LCM
1582 CONFIG_LZMA
1583
1584 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1585 images is included.
1586
1587 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1588 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1589 formula:
1590
1591 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1592
1593 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1594 and Literal pos bits.
1595
1596 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1597 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1598 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1599 a very small buffer.
1600
1601 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1602 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1603 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

1610 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1611
1612 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1613
1614 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1615
1616 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1617 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1618
1619 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1620
1621 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1622 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1623 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1624 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1625
1626 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1627
1628 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1629 command issued before MII status register can be read

1670
1671- Subnet mask:
1672 CONFIG_NETMASK
1673
1674 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1675 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1676 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1677 forwarded through a router.
1678 (Environment variable "netmask")
1679

1680- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1681 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1682
1683 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1684 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 1685 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
53a5c424
DU
1686 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1687 multicast group.
1688
c609719b
WD
1689- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1690 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1691
1692 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1693 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1694 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1695 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1696 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1697 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1698 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1699 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1700 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1701
1702 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1703 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1704 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1705 4th and following
1706 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

1727 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 1728
2c00e099
JH
1729 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1730 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1731 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1732 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1733 is not available.
1734
fe389a82
SR
1735 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1736 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1737 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1738 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1739 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1740 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1741 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 1742 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
1743
1744 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1745 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1746 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 1747 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
1748 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1749 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 1750
d9a2f416
AV
1751 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1752
1753 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1754 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1755 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1756 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1757 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1758 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1759 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1760 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1761 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1762 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1763 this delay.

1765 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1766 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1767 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1768 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1769 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

1815- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1816
1817 Several configurations allow to display the current
1818 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1819 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1820 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1821 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1822 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1823 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1824 feature in U-Boot.
1825
1826- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1827
1828 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1829 on those systems that support this (optional)
1830 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1831
1832- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1833
b37c7e5e 1834 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
945af8d7 1835 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
11ccc33f 1836 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
c609719b 1837
945af8d7 1838 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 1839 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
1840 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1841 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 1842 command line interface.
c609719b 1843
bb99ad6d 1844 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 1845
945af8d7 1846 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
b37c7e5e
WD
1847 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1848 support for I2C.
c609719b 1849
945af8d7 1850 There are several other quantities that must also be
b37c7e5e 1851 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
c609719b 1852
6d0f6bcf 1853 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 1854 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 1855 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 1856 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 1857
8d321b81 1858 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 1859 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
1860 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1861 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1862 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 1863
5da71efa
EM
1864 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1865
1866 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1867 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1868 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
1869 commands until the slave device responds.
1870
945af8d7 1871 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 1872
b37c7e5e
WD
1873 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1874 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1875 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
1876
1877 I2C_INIT
1878
b37c7e5e 1879 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 1880 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 1881
ba56f625 1882 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 1883
c609719b
WD
1884 I2C_PORT
1885
43d9616c
WD
1886 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1887 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1888 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
1889
1890 I2C_ACTIVE
1891
1892 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1893 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1894 define can be null.
1895
b37c7e5e
WD
1896 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1897
c609719b
WD
1898 I2C_TRISTATE
1899
1900 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1901 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1902 define can be null.
1903
b37c7e5e
WD
1904 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1905
c609719b
WD
1906 I2C_READ
1907
1908 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1909 FALSE if it is low.
1910
b37c7e5e
WD
1911 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1912
c609719b
WD
1913 I2C_SDA(bit)
1914
1915 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1916 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1917
b37c7e5e 1918 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 1919 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 1920 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 1921
c609719b
WD
1922 I2C_SCL(bit)
1923
1924 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1925 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1926
b37c7e5e 1927 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 1928 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
ba56f625 1929 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
b37c7e5e 1930
c609719b
WD
1931 I2C_DELAY
1932
1933 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1934 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 1935 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
1936 like:
1937
b37c7e5e 1938 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 1939
793b5726
MF
1940 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1941
1942 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1943 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1944 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1945 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1946
1947 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1948 the generic GPIO functions.
1949
6d0f6bcf 1950 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 1951
8bde7f77
WD
1952 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1953 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1954 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1955 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1956 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1957 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1958 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1959 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 1960
26a33504
RR
1961 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
1962
1963 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
1964 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
1965 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
1966 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
1967 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
1968 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
1969 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
1970 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
1971
17ea1177
WD
1972 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1973
1974 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1975 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1976 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1977
bb99ad6d
BW
1978 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1979
1980 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
1981 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1982 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d
BW
1983 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1984
6d0f6bcf 1985 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
1986
1987 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 1988 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
1989 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1990 a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d
BW
1991
1992 e.g.
1993 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
c0f40859 1994 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d
BW
1995
1996 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1997
c0f40859 1998 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
6d0f6bcf 1999 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
bb99ad6d
BW
2000
2001 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2002
6d0f6bcf 2003 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
2004
2005 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2006 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2007
6d0f6bcf 2008 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2009
2010 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2011 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2012
6d0f6bcf 2013 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2014
2015 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2016 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2017
6d0f6bcf 2018 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
2019
2020 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2021 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2022 specified DTT device.
2023
be5e6181
TT
2024 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
2025
2026 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
7817cb20 2027 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
be5e6181 2028
67b23a32
HS
2029 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
2030
2031 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
2032 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
2033 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
2034 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
2035 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
2036 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
2037
2038 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
2039 feature!
2040
2041 Example:
2042 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
2043 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
2044 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
2045
2046 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
2047
2048 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
2049 of I2C Busses with muxes:
2050
2051 => i2c bus
2052 Busses reached over muxes:
2053 Bus ID: 2
2054 reached over Mux(es):
2055 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
2056 Bus ID: 3
2057 reached over Mux(es):
2058 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
2059 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
2060 =>
2061
2062 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
f9a78b8d
MJ
2063 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
2064 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
67b23a32
HS
2065 the channel 4.
2066
2067 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
f9a78b8d 2068 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
67b23a32
HS
2069 the 2 muxes.
2070
2071 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
2072 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
2073 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
2074 to add this option to other architectures.
2075
2ac6985a
AD
2076 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2077
2078 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2079 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2080 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2081 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2082 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2083 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2084 the other.

WD
2097 CONFIG_SPI_X

2101
2102 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2103
43d9616c
WD
2104 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2105 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2106 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2107 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2108 defined, the board configuration must define several
2109 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2110 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
c609719b 2111
04a9e118
BW
2112 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2113
2114 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2115 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2116 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
c0f40859 2117 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an

c609719b 2142
6d0f6bcf 2143 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
c609719b 2144
8bde7f77 2145 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
c609719b 2146
6d0f6bcf 2147 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
c609719b 2148
43d9616c
WD
2149 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2150 status by the configuration function. This option
2151 will require a board or device specific function to
2152 be written.
c609719b

2153
2154 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2155
2156 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2157 configuration driver.
2158
6d0f6bcf 2159 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
c609719b

2161
6d0f6bcf 2162 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
c609719b 2163
43d9616c
WD
2164 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2165 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2166 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2167 indicated a CRC error).
c609719b 2168
6d0f6bcf 2169 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
c609719b 2170
43d9616c

6d0f6bcf 2181 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
c609719b 2182
43d9616c 2183 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is

2185
2186- Configuration Management:
2187 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2188
43d9616c
WD
2189 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2190 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2191
2192- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2193
43d9616c
WD
2194 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2195 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2196 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2197 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2198 protects these variables from casual modification by
2199 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2200 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2201 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2202
2203 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2204 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2205 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2206 these parameters.
2207
2208 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2209 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2210 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2211 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2212 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2213 read-only.]
2214
2598090b
JH
2215 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2216 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2217 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2218 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2219
c609719b
WD
2220- Protected RAM:
2221 CONFIG_PRAM
2222
2223 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2224 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2225 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2226 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2227 this default value by defining an environment
2228 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2229 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2230 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2231 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2232 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2233 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2234 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2235
fe126d8b 2236 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2237 saveenv
2238
2239 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2240 either, which results in a memory region that will
2241 not be affected by reboots.
2242
2243 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2244 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2245 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2246 following board configurations are known to be
2247 "pRAM-clean":

2253- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2254 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2255 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2256 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2257 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2258 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2259 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2260
c609719b
WD
2261- Error Recovery:
2262 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2263
2264 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2265 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2266 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2267 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2268 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2269 useful during development since you can try to debug
2270 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2271
2272 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2273
43d9616c
WD
2274 This variable defines the number of retries for
2275 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2276 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2277 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2278

2279 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2280
2281 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2282
48a3e999
TK
2283 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2284
2285 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2286 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2287 try longer timeout such as
2288 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2289
c609719b 2290- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2291 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
04a85b3b
WD
2292
2293 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2294
a9398e01
WD
2295 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2296 for the "hush" shell.
8078f1a5
WD
2297
2298
6d0f6bcf 2299 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2300
2301 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2302 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2303 powerful command line syntax like
2304 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2305 constructs ("shell scripts").
2306
2307 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2308 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2309
2310
6d0f6bcf 2311 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2312
2313 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2314 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2315 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2316
2317 Note:
2318
8bde7f77
WD
2319 In the current implementation, the local variables
2320 space and global environment variables space are
2321 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2322 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2323 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2324 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2325 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2326
43d9616c
WD
2327 Global environment variables are those you use
2328 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2329 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2330 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2331
2332 To store commands and special characters in a
2333 variable, please use double quotation marks
2334 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2335 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2336 symbols.

2338- Commandline Editing and History:
2339 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2340
11ccc33f 2341 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
b9365a26 2342 commandline input operations
aa0c71ac 2343
a8c7c708 2344- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2345 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2346
43d9616c
WD
2347 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2348 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2349 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2350
43d9616c
WD
2351 For example, place something like this in your
2352 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2353
2354 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2355 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2356 "myvar2=value2\0"
2357
43d9616c
WD
2358 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2359 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2360 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2361 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2362 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2363 You better know what you are doing here.
2364
43d9616c
WD
2365 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2366 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2367 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2368 boot command first.
c609719b 2369
5e724ca2
SW
2370 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2371
2372 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2373 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2374 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2375
2376 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2377
2378 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2379 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2380 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2381 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2382 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2383
7e27f89f
TR
2384 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2385
2386 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2387 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2388 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2389
06fd8538
SG
2390 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2391
2392 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2393 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2394 that so that the environment is not available until
2395 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2396 this is instead controlled by the value of
2397 /config/load-environment.
2398
a8c7c708 2399- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2400 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2401
8bde7f77
WD
2402 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2403 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2404 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2405
f61ec45e
EN
2406- Serial Flash support
2407 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2408
2409 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2410 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2411
2412 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2413 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2414 commands.
2415
2416 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2417 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2418 flash is present on the system.
2419
2420 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2421 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2422 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2423 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2424
24007273
SG
2425 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2426
2427 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2428 test ('sf test').
2429
3f85ce27
WD
2430- SystemACE Support:
2431 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2432
2433 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2434 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2435 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2436 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2437
2438 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2439 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2440
2441 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2442 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2443
ecb0ccd9
WD
2444- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2445 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2446
28cb9375 2447 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2448 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2449 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2450 number generator is used.
2451
28cb9375
WD
2452 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2453 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2454 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2455
2456 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2457 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2458 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2459 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2460 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2461 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2462 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2463
bf36c5d5
SG
2464- Hashing support:
2465 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2466
2467 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2468 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2469
2470 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2471
2472 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2473 size a little.
2474
2475 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2476 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2477
2478 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2479 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2480
a8c7c708 2481- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
2482 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2483
43d9616c
WD
2484 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2485 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2486 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2487 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2488 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2489 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 2490
3a608ca0
SG
2491- Detailed boot stage timing
2492 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2493 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2494 of the boot process.
2495
2496 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2497 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2498 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2499 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2500 the limit, recording will stop.
2501
2502 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2503 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2504
2505 Timer summary in microseconds:
2506 Mark Elapsed Stage
2507 0 0 reset
2508 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2509 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2510 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2511 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2512 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2513 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2514 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2515
2eba38cf
SG
2516 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2517 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2518 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2519
94fd1316
SG
2520 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2521 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2522 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2523 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2524 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2525 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2526 For example:
2527
2528 bootstage {
2529 154 {
2530 name = "board_init_f";
2531 mark = <3575678>;
2532 };
2533 170 {
2534 name = "lcd";
2535 accum = <33482>;
2536 };
2537 };
2538
2539 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2909 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
c609719b 2910
a8c7c708
WD
2911- Interrupt support (PPC):
2912
d4ca31c4
WD
2913 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2914 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 2915 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 2916 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 2917 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 2918 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 2919 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
2920 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2921 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2922 general timer_interrupt().
a8c7c708 2923
c609719b
WD
2924- General:
2925
43d9616c
WD
2926 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2927 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2928 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
11ccc33f 2929 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
2930 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2931 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2932 initialization.
c609719b 2933
43d9616c
WD
2934 If there are no modem init strings in the
2935 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2936 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
11ccc33f 2937 suppressed, though.

2941Board initialization settings:
2942------------------------------
2943
2944During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
2945to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
2946before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
2947following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
2948architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
2949typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
2950
2951- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
2952- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()

c609719b
WD
2966 prompt for user input.
2967
6d0f6bcf 2968- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console

2975 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
2976 booted
2977
6d0f6bcf 2978- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b

6d0f6bcf 2981- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 2982 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 2983
6d0f6bcf 2984- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
2985 If the board specific function
2986 extern int overwrite_console (void);

3005 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3006
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3007- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3008 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 3009 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 3010 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3011 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3012 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3013 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3014 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3015 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3016 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
3017
3018 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3019 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3020 be touched.
3021
3022 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3023 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3024 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3025 non page size aligned address and this could cause major

3050 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3051 flash sector.
c609719b 3052
6d0f6bcf 3053- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3054 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3055
6d0f6bcf 3056- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
3057 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3058 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 3059 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file

3065 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3066 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3067 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3068 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3069 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e

6d0f6bcf 3105- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
3106 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3107 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3108
6d0f6bcf 3109- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3110
3111 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3112 without this option such a download has to be
3113 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3114 copy from RAM to flash.
3115
3116 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3117 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3118 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3119 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3120 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3121
6d0f6bcf 3122- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3123 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
3124 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3125
00b1883a 3126- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER

3128 in the drivers directory
c609719b 3129
91809ed5
PZ
3130- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3131 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3132 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3133 to the MTD layer.

3140 write commands.
3141
6d0f6bcf 3142- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3143 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3144 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3145 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3146 optionally available.

3148- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3149 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3150 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3151 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3152
6d0f6bcf 3153- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
3154 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3155 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3156 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3157 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3158 on high Ethernet traffic.

3163 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3164 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3165 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3166 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3167 lib/hashtable.c for details.

3171 Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when
3172 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3173 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3174 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3175
3176 The format of the list is:
3177 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]

3199 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3200
3201 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3202 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3203 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3204 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3205 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3206 ".flags" variable.

c609719b
WD
3212The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3213of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3214following configurations:
3215
c3eb3fe4
MF
3216- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3217
3218 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3219 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3220
5a1aceb0 3221- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3222
3223 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3224
3225 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3226 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3227 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3228 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3229 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3230 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3231 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3232 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3233 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3234 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3235 between U-Boot and the environment.
3236
0e8d1586 3237 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3238
3239 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3240 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3241 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3242 for this sector is given here.
3243
6d0f6bcf 3244 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3245
0e8d1586 3246 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3247
3248 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3249 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3250 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3251
0e8d1586 3252 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3253
3254 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3255
3256
3257 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3258 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3259 the environment.
3260
0e8d1586 3261 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3262
5a1aceb0 3263 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3264 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3265 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3266 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3267
3268 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3269 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3270 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3271 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3272 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3273 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3274 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3275 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3276 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3277
0e8d1586
JCPV
3278 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3279 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
c609719b 3280
43d9616c 3281 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 3282 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 3283 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 3284 a "saveenv" operation.
c609719b
WD
3285
3286BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3287source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3288accordingly!
3289
3290
9314cee6 3291- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD
3292
3293 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3294 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3295 environment.
3296
0e8d1586
JCPV
3297 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3298 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3299
11ccc33f 3300 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
3301 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3302 can just be read and written to, without any special
3303 provision.
3304
3305BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3306in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3307console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3308U-Boot will hang.
3309
3310Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3311environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3312keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3313to save the current settings.
3314
3315
bb1f8b4f 3316- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
c609719b
WD
3317
3318 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3319 device and a driver for it.
3320
0e8d1586
JCPV
3321 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3322 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3323
3324 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3325 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3326
6d0f6bcf 3327 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3328 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3329 The default address is zero.
3330
6d0f6bcf 3331 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
3332 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3333 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3334 would require six bits.
3335
6d0f6bcf 3336 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 3337 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
ba56f625 3338 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
c609719b 3339
6d0f6bcf 3340 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3341 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3342 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3343
6d0f6bcf 3344 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
3345 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3346 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3347 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3348 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3349 byte chips.
3350
3351 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3352 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3353 in the chip address.
3354
6d0f6bcf 3355 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3356 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3357
548738b4
HS
3358 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3359 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3360 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3361
3362 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3363 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3364 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3365 EEPROM. For example:
3366
a9046b9e 3367 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0"
548738b4
HS
3368
3369 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3370 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
c609719b 3371
057c849c 3372- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
5779d8d9 3373
d4ca31c4 3374 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
5779d8d9
WD
3375 want to use for the environment.
3376
0e8d1586
JCPV
3377 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3378 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3379 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
5779d8d9
WD
3380
3381 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3382 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3383 at the specified address.
3384
0a85a9e7
LG
3385- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3386
3387 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3388 want to use for the local device's environment.
3389
3390 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3391 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3392
3393 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3394 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3395 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 3396 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7
LG
3397
3398BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3399"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa
LG
3400environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3401but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
0a85a9e7 3402
51bfee19 3403- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
13a5695b
WD
3404
3405 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3406 for the environment.
3407
0e8d1586
JCPV
3408 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3409 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
13a5695b
WD
3410
3411 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
fdd813de
SW
3412 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3413 aligned to an erase block boundary.
5779d8d9 3414
fdd813de 3415 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
e443c944 3416
0e8d1586 3417 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
3418 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3419 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 3420 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
3421 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3422
3423 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3424
3425 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3426 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3427 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3428 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3429 the range to be avoided.
3430
3431 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3432
3433 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3434 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3435 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3436 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3437 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
e443c944 3438
b74ab737
GL
3439- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3440
3441 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3442 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3443 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3444
6d0f6bcf 3445- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
3446
3447 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3448 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3449 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3450 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3451 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3452 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3453 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3454
e881cb56 3455Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 3456has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 3457created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
3458until then to read environment variables.
3459
85ec0bcc
WD
3460The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3461is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3462with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3463necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3464"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3465have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
3466
3467Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3468the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 3469use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 3470
6d0f6bcf 3471- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
42d1f039 3472 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.

6d0f6bcf 3474 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
fc3e2165
WD
3475 also needs to be defined.
3476
6d0f6bcf 3477- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
42d1f039 3478 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.

3480- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3481 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3482 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3483 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3484 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3485 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

3487- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3488 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on

3490 to do this.
3491

3514- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3515 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3516 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3517
3518 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3519 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3520
3521- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3522 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3523 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 3524 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
3525 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3526 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3527 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:

3533 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3534 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is

3824Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
3825-----------------------------------
3826
3827The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3828loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3829This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3830are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3831within that device.
3832
3833- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3834 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
3835 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3836 is also specified.
3837
3838- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3839 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
3840 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3841 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3842 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3843
3844- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3845 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3846 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3847 virtual address in NOR flash.
3848
3849- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3850 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3851 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3852
3853- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3854 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
3855 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3856
3857- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
3858 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
3859 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3860
292dc6c5
LG
3861- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
3862 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
3863 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
3864 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
3865 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
3866 master's memory space.

3868Building the Software:
3869======================
3870
218ca724
WD
3871Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3872and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3873all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3874(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3875recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3876which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 3877
218ca724
WD
3878If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3879have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3880you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3881Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3882necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 3883
218ca724
WD
3884 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3885 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 3886
2f8d396b
PT
3887Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3888 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3889 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3890 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
3891
3892 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3893
3894 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3895 be executed on computers running Windows.
3896
218ca724
WD
3897U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3898sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
3899is done by typing:
3900
3901 make NAME_config
3902
218ca724 3903where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 3904rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 3905
2729af9d
WD
3906Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3907 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3908 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3909 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 3910 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
3911
3912 make TQM823L_config
3913 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
3914
3915 make TQM823L_LCD_config
3916 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
3917
3918 etc.
3919
3920
3921Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3922images ready for download to / installation on your system:

3928By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3929in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3930this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3931
39321. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3933
3934 make O=/tmp/build distclean
3935 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
3936 make O=/tmp/build all
3937
39382. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
3939
3940 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3941 make distclean
3942 make NAME_config
3943 make all
3944
3945Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
3946variable.

3948
3949Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3950for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3951native "make".
3952
3953
3954If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3955to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3956steps:
3957
39581. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
3959 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
3960 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
39612. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3962 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3963 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
39643. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3965 your board
39663. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3967 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
39684. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
39695. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3970 to be installed on your target system.
39716. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3972 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

3975Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
3976==============================================================
3977
218ca724
WD
3978If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3979or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
3980provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3981the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 3982official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 3983
218ca724
WD
3984But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3985cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
3986the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3987just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
3988for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
3989select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
3990environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
3991you can type
2729af9d
WD
3992
3993 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3994
3995or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
3996
3997 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
3998
218ca724
WD
3999When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4000U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4001setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4002built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4003<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4004location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4005variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
4006
4007 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4008 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4009 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4010
218ca724
WD
4011With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4012log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4013during the whole build process.

4076Environment Variables:
4077======================
4078
4079U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4080can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 4081
2729af9d
WD
4082Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4083"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4084without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4085environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4086working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4087environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 4088
c96f86ee
WD
4089Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4090
4091List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
c609719b 4092
2729af9d 4093 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
c609719b 4094
2729af9d 4095 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
c609719b 4096
2729af9d 4097 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 4098
2729af9d 4099 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 4100
2729af9d 4101 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 4102
7d721e34
BS
4103 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4104 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4105 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4106 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4107 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4108 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
4109 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4110 bootm_mapsize.
4111
c0f40859 4112 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
4113 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4114 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4115 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4116 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4117 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4118 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
4119
4120 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4121 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4122 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4123 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4124 environment variable.
4125
4bae9090
BS
4126 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4127 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4128 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4129
2729af9d
WD
4130 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4131 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4132 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4133 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 4134
2729af9d
WD
4135 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4136 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4137 be automatically started (by internally calling
4138 "bootm")
38b99261 4139
2729af9d
WD
4140 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4141 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4142 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4143 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4144 data.
c609719b 4145
a28afca5
DL
4146 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4147 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
4148 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4149 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4150 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4151 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4152 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4153 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4154 access it during the boot procedure.
4155
a28afca5
DL
4156 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4157 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4158 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4159 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4160 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4161 must be accessible by the kernel.
4162
eea63e05
SG
4163 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4164 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4165 defined.
4166
17ea1177
WD
4167 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4168 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4169 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4170 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4171 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4172
2729af9d
WD
4173 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4174 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4175 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4176 is usually what you want since it allows for
4177 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4178 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 4179 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
4180 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4181 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4182 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4183 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 4184
2729af9d
WD
4185 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4186 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4187 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4188 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4189 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4190 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 4191
2729af9d 4192 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 4193
2729af9d
WD
4194 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4195 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4196 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4197 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4198 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4199 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4200 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 4201
2729af9d 4202 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 4203
2729af9d
WD
4204 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4205 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
c609719b 4206
2729af9d 4207 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
a3d991bd 4208
2729af9d 4209 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
a3d991bd 4210
2729af9d 4211 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
a3d991bd 4212
2729af9d 4213 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
a3d991bd 4214
2729af9d 4215 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
c609719b 4216
e2a53458 4217 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
c609719b 4218
e2a53458
MF
4219 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4220 For example you can do the following
c609719b 4221
48690d80
HS
4222 => setenv ethact FEC
4223 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4224 => setenv ethact SCC
4225 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
c609719b 4226
e1692577
MF
4227 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4228 available network interfaces.
4229 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4230
c96f86ee 4231 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
4232 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4233 When set to "once" the network operation will
4234 fail when all the available network interfaces
4235 are tried once without success.
4236 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4237 themselves.
c609719b 4238
b4e2f89d 4239 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 4240
28cb9375 4241 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
4242 UDP source port.
4243
28cb9375
WD
4244 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4245 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4246
c96f86ee
WD
4247 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4248 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4249
4250 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4251 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4252 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4253 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4254 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4255 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4256 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4257
4258 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 4259 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 4260 VLAN tagged frames.
c609719b 4261

JH
4262The following image location variables contain the location of images
4263used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4264not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4265variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4266server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4267loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4268flash or offset in NAND flash.
4269
4270*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4271boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4272boards use these variables for other purposes.

4292 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4293 serverip - see above
c1551ea8 4294

2729af9d 4296There are two special Environment Variables:
c1551ea8 4297
2729af9d
WD
4298 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4299 as type string and/or serial number
4300 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4301
2729af9d
WD
4302These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4303the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4304once they have been set once.
c609719b 4305
f07771cc 4306
2729af9d 4307Further special Environment Variables:
f07771cc 4308
2729af9d
WD
4309 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4310 with the "version" command. This variable is

4318Callback functions for environment variables:
4319---------------------------------------------
4320
4321For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4322when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4323be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4324deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4325effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4326
4327The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4328U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4329
4330These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4331static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4332in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4333associations. The list must be in the following format:
4334
4335 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4336 list = entry[,list]
4337
4338If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4339Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4340
4341Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4342with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4343override any association in the static list. You can define
4344CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4345".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

4348Command Line Parsing:
4349=====================
f07771cc 4350
2729af9d
WD
4351There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4352the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 4353
2729af9d
WD
4354Old, simple command line parser:
4355--------------------------------
c609719b 4356
2729af9d
WD
4357- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4358- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 4359- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
4360- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4361 for example:
fe126d8b 4362 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d

4366Hush shell:
4367-----------
c609719b 4368
2729af9d
WD
4369- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4370 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4371 until...do...done, ...
4372- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4373 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4374 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4375 command
4376
4377General rules:
4378--------------
c609719b 4379
2729af9d
WD
4380(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4381 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4382 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4383 executed anyway.
c609719b 4384
2729af9d 4385(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 4386 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
4387 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4388 variables are not executed.

4390Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4391=======================================
c609719b 4392
11ccc33f 4393Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
4394such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4395"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 4396
2729af9d
WD
4397Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4398MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4399"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 4400
2729af9d
WD
4401If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4402in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4403ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4404variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 4405
2729af9d
WD
4406o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4407 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 4408
2729af9d
WD
4409o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4410 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4411 used.
c609719b 4412
2729af9d
WD
4413o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4414 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 4415
2729af9d
WD
4416o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4417 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4418 warning is printed.
c609719b 4419
2729af9d
WD
4420o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4421 is raised.
c609719b 4422
ecee9324 4423If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 4424will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
4425may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4426The naming convention is as follows:
4427"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

4429Image Formats:
4430==============
c609719b 4431
3310c549
MB
4432U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4433images in two formats:
4434
4435New uImage format (FIT)
4436-----------------------
4437
4438Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4439to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4440components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4441SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4442
4443
4444Old uImage format
4445-----------------
4446
4447Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4448preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4449details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

4470Linux Support:
4471==============
c609719b 4472
2729af9d
WD
4473Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4474easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4475U-Boot.
c609719b 4476
2729af9d
WD
4477U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4478special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4479"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4480instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4481serves several purposes:
c609719b 4482
2729af9d
WD
4483- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4484 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4485 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 4486
2729af9d
WD
4487- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4488 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 4489
2729af9d
WD
4490- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4491 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4492 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4493 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4494 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4495 software is easier now.

4498Linux HOWTO:
4499============
c609719b 4500
2729af9d
WD
4501Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4502---------------------------------------
c609719b 4503
2729af9d
WD
4504U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4505configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4506(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4507Linux :-).
c609719b 4508
a47a12be 4509But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 4510
2729af9d
WD
4511Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4512include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
4513Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4514and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 4515as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 4516
c609719b 4517
2729af9d
WD
4518Configuring the Linux kernel:
4519-----------------------------
c609719b 4520
2729af9d
WD
4521No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4522device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4523
4524
4525Building a Linux Image:
4526-----------------------
c609719b 4527
2729af9d
WD
4528With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4529not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4530"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4531U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4532which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4533100% compatible format.
4534
4535Example:
4536
4537 make TQM850L_config
4538 make oldconfig
4539 make dep
4540 make uImage
4541
4542The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4543encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4544CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4545
4546* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4547
4548* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4549
4550 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4551 -R .note -R .comment \
4552 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4553
4554* compress the binary image:
4555
4556 gzip -9 linux.bin
4557
4558* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4559
4560 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4561 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4562 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 4563
c609719b 4564
2729af9d
WD
4565The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4566with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4567combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4568byte header containing information about target architecture,
4569operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4570stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4571
4572"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4573print the header information, or to build new images.
4574
4575In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4576contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4577checksum verification:
c609719b 4578
2729af9d
WD
4579 tools/mkimage -l image
4580 -l ==> list image header information
4581
4582The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4583from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4584
4585 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4586 -n name -d data_file image
4587 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4588 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4589 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4590 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4591 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4592 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4593 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4594 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4595
69459791
WD
4596Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4597address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4598kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
4599
4600- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4601- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4602
4603So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4604
4605 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4606 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 4607 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD
4608 > examples/uImage.TQM850L

4613 Load Address: 0x00000000
4614 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4615
4616To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4617
4618 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
4619 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4620 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000

4623 Load Address: 0x00000000
4624 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4625
4626NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4627speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4628needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4629need to be uncompressed:
4630
a47a12be 4631 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d
WD
4632 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4633 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 4634 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \

4642
4643
4644Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
4645when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
4646
4647 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
4648 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
4649 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

4654 Load Address: 0x00000000
4655 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4656
4657
4658Installing a Linux Image:
4659-------------------------
4660
4661To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4662you must convert the image to S-Record format:
4663
4664 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
4665
4666The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4667image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4668address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4669specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4670command.
4671
4672Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4673TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
4674
4675 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
4676
4677 .......... done
4678 Erased 8 sectors
4679
4680 => loads 40100000
4681 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

4690
4691You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
218ca724 4692this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data

4706Boot Linux:
4707-----------
4708
4709The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
4710memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
4711of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
4712parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
4713"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
4714
4715
4716 => printenv bootargs
4717 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
4718
4719 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

4789Boot Linux and pass a flat device tree:
4790-----------
4791
4792First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
4793titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
4794following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
4795flat device tree:

4838More About U-Boot Image Types:
4839------------------------------
4840
4841U-Boot supports the following image types:
4842
4843 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4844 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4845 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4846 the Standalone Program.
4847 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4848 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4849 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4850 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4851 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4852 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4853 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4854 being started.
4855 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4856 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4857 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4858 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4859 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4860 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
4861
4862 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4863 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4864 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4865 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4866 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4867 a multiple of 4 bytes).
4868
4869 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4870 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4871 flash memory.
4872
4873 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4874 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4875 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4876 as command interpreter.

4878Booting the Linux zImage:
4879-------------------------
4880
4881On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
4882using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
4883as the syntax of "bootm" command.
4884
017e1f3f
MV
4885Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
4886kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
4887address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
4888format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

4891Standalone HOWTO:
4892=================
4893
4894One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4895run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4896U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
4897
4898Two simple examples are included with the sources:
4899
4900"Hello World" Demo:
4901-------------------
4902
4903'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
4904application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
4905It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
4906like that:
4907
4908 => loads
4909 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
4910 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
4911 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
4912 [file transfer complete]
4913 [connected]
4914 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
4915
4916 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
4917 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
4918 Hello World
4919 argc = 7
4920 argv[0] = "40004"
4921 argv[1] = "Hello"
4922 argv[2] = "World!"
4923 argv[3] = "This"
4924 argv[4] = "is"
4925 argv[5] = "a"
4926 argv[6] = "test."
4927 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
4928 Hit any key to exit ...
4929
4930 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
4931
4932Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
4933handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4934Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4935The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4936character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4937controlled by the following keys:
4938
4939 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
4940 b - enable interrupts and start timer
4941 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
4942 q - quit application
4943
4944 => loads

4979Minicom warning:
4980================
4981
4982Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
4983"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
4984consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
4985Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
4986especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
4987use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
4988http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.

5000NetBSD Notes:
5001=============
5002
5003Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5004(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5005
5006Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5007NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5008need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5009Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5010attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5011missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5012
5013 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5014 # mkdir powerpc
5015 # ln -s powerpc machine
5016 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5017 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5018
5019Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5020and U-Boot include files.
5021
5022Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5023stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5024proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5025tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 5026meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5029Implementation Internals:
5030=========================
5031
5032The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5033implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5034inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5035hardware.
5036
5037
5038Initial Stack, Global Data:
5039---------------------------
5040
5041The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5042starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5043system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5044This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5045is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5046at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5047options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5048models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5049MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5050locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5051
218ca724 5052 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 5053 U-Boot mailing list:

5058 ...
5059
5060 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5061 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5062 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5063 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5064 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 5065 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
5066 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5067 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5068
5069 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5070 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 5071 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
5072 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5073 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5074 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5075 used.
5076
6d0f6bcf 5077 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
5078 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5079 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 5080 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
5081 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5082 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5083 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5084 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5085 you get the config right.

5089
5090It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5091code for the initialization procedures:
5092
5093* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5094 to write it.
5095
11ccc33f 5096* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
5097 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5098 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5099
5100* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5101 that.
5102
5103Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5104normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5105turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5106simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5107functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5108functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5109the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5110place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5111reserve for this purpose.
5112
5113When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5114relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5115GCC's implementation.
5116
5117For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5118 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 5119 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
5120 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5121 R5-R10: parameter passing
5122 R13: small data area pointer
5123 R30: GOT pointer
5124 R31: frame pointer
5125
e6bee808
JT
5126 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5127 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5128 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 5129
e7670f6c 5130 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
5131
5132 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5133 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5134 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5135 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5136 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5137 624 text + 127 data).

5182
5183Memory Management:
5184------------------
5185
5186U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5187MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5188
5189The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5190controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5191memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5192physical memory banks.
5193
5194U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5195TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5196booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5197to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 5198memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
5199configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5200Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5201
5202Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5203of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5204
5205So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5206this:
5207
5208 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5209 :
5210 0x0000 1FFF
5211 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5212 :
5213 :
5214
5215 :
5216 :
5217 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5218 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5219 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5220 :
5221 0x00FD FFFF
5222 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5223 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5224 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5225 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5226
5227
5228System Initialization:
5229----------------------
c609719b 5230
2729af9d 5231In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 5232(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d

5233configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5234To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5235To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5236initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5237which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5238part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5239the caches and the SIU.
5240
5241Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5242preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5243(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5244on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5245programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5246simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5247banks.
5248
5249When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5250different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5251bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
52520x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5253contiguous memory starting from 0.
5254
5255Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5256and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5257Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5258pages, and the final stack is set up.
5259
5260Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5261until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5262running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5263new address in RAM.

5340Coding Standards:
5341-----------------
c609719b 5342
2729af9d 5343All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
2c051651 5344coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
7ca9296e 5345"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
2c051651
DZ
5346
5347Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5348MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5349reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5350sources.
5351
5352Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5353Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5354in your code.
c609719b 5355
2729af9d
WD
5356Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5357- remove any trailing white space
7ca9296e 5358- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
2729af9d 5359- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
7ca9296e 5360- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
2729af9d 5361- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
180d3f74 5362
2729af9d
WD
5363Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5364with a request to reformat the changes.

5367Submitting Patches:
5368-------------------
c609719b 5369
2729af9d
WD
5370Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5371establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5372may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
c609719b 5373
0d28f34b 5374Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
218ca724 5375
0668236b
WD
5376Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5377see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5378
2729af9d
WD
5379When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5380it:
c609719b 5381
2729af9d
WD
5382* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5383 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5384 patch actually fixes something.
c609719b 5385
2729af9d
WD
5386* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5387 implementation.
c609719b 5388
2729af9d 5389* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
c609719b 5390
2729af9d 5391* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
c609719b 5392
2729af9d 5393* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
7ca9296e 5394 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too.
c609719b 5395
2729af9d
WD
5396* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5397 document these in the README file.
c609719b 5398
218ca724
WD
5399* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5400 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 5401 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
5402 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5403 with some other mail clients.
5404
5405 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5406 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5407 GNU diff.
c609719b 5408
218ca724
WD
5409 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5410 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5411 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5412 affected files).
6dff5529 5413
218ca724
WD
5414 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5415 and compressed attachments must not be used.
c609719b 5416
2729af9d
WD
5417* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5418 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
52f52c14 5419
2729af9d
WD
5420* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5421 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

2729af9d 5424Notes:
c609719b 5425
2729af9d
WD
5426* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5427 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5428 for any of the boards.
c609719b 5429
2729af9d
WD
5430* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5431 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5432 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
c609719b 5433
2729af9d
WD
5434* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5435 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5436 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5437 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5438 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5439 modification.

WD
5441* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5442 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5443 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5444 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
