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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

716- Console Rx buffer length
717 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
718 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
2b3f12c2 719 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
c92fac91

720 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
721 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
722 the SMC.

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

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

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

773 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
43d9616c

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

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

924 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
925 support you can write:
926
602ad3b3
JL
927 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
928 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET

932
933 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 934 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
935 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
936 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
937 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
938 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
939 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
940 initial stack and some data.

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

1033 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1034 pins supported by a particular chip.
1035
e92739d3

c609719b
WD
1039- Timestamp Support:
1040
43d9616c
WD
1041 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1042 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1043 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 1044 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .

1280 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1281 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
11ccc33f 1282 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
16c8d5e7
WD
1283 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty

1348- ULPI Layer Support:
1349 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1350 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1351 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1352 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1353 viewport is supported.
1354 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1355 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.

LS
1356 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1357 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1358 the appropriate value in Hz.

SG
1572 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1573
1574 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1575 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1576 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1577 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1578 a per-section basis.

1594 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1595
7152b1d0 1596- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1597
8bde7f77
WD
1598 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1599 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1600 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1601 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1602 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1603 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1604 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1605 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1606
c0880485
NK
1607 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1608
1609 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1610 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1611 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1612 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1613 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1614 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1615 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1616 there is no need to set this option.
1617
1ca298ce
MW
1618 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1619
1620 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1621 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1622 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1623 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1624 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1625 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1626
1627 Example:
1628 setenv splashpos m,m
1629 => image at center of screen
1630
1631 setenv splashpos 30,20
1632 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1633
1634 setenv splashpos -10,m
1635 => vertically centered image
1636 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1637
581bb419
NK
1638 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_PREPARE
1639
1640 If this option is set then the board_splash_screen_prepare()
1641 function, which must be defined in your code, is called as part
1642 of the splash screen display sequence. It gives the board an
1643 opportunity to prepare the splash image data before it is
1644 processed and sent to the frame buffer by U-Boot.
1645
98f4a3df
SR
1646- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1647
1648 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1649 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1650 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1651
d5011762
AG
1652- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1653
1654 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1655 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1656 bmp command.
1657
f2b96dfb
LW
1658- Do compresssing for memory range:
1659 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1660
1661 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1662 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1663
c29fdfc1
WD
1664- Compression support:
1665 CONFIG_BZIP2
1666
1667 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1668 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1669 compressed images are supported.
1670
42d1f039 1671 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1672 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1673 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1674
fc9c1727
LCM
1675 CONFIG_LZMA
1676
1677 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1678 images is included.
1679
1680 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1681 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1682 formula:
1683
1684 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1685
1686 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1687 and Literal pos bits.
1688
1689 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1690 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1691 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1692 a very small buffer.
1693
1694 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1695 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1696 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
fc9c1727 1697

1701 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1702
1703 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1704
1705 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1706
1707 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1708
1709 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1710 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1711
1712 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1713
1714 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1715 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1716 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1717 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1718
1719 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1720
1721 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1722 command issued before MII status register can be read

1764- Subnet mask:
1765 CONFIG_NETMASK
1766
1767 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1768 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1769 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1770 forwarded through a router.

1777 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 1778 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
53a5c424
DU
1779 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1780 multicast group.

c609719b
WD
1782- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1783 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1784
1785 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1786 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1787 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1788 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1789 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1790 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1791 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1792 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1793 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1794
1795 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1796 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1797 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec

1826 is not available.

1831 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1832 serverip will be stored in the additional environment

1844 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1845
1846 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1847 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1848 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1849 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1850 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1851 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1852 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1853 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1854 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1855 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1856 this delay.

1858 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1859 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1860 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1861 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1862 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

1908- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1909
1910 Several configurations allow to display the current
1911 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1912 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1913 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1914 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1915 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1916 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1917 feature in U-Boot.
1918
1919- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1920
1921 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1922 on those systems that support this (optional)
1923 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1924
1925- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1926
b37c7e5e 1927 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
945af8d7 1928 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
11ccc33f 1929 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
c609719b 1930
945af8d7 1931 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 1932 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
1933 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1934 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 1935 command line interface.
c609719b 1936
bb99ad6d 1937 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 1938
945af8d7 1939 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
b37c7e5e
WD
1940 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1941 support for I2C.
c609719b 1942
945af8d7 1943 There are several other quantities that must also be
b37c7e5e 1944 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
c609719b 1945
6d0f6bcf 1946 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 1947 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 1948 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 1949 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 1950
8d321b81 1951 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 1952 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
1953 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1954 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1955 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 1956
5da71efa
EM
1957 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1958
1959 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1960 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1961 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
1962 commands until the slave device responds.
1963
945af8d7 1964 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 1965
b37c7e5e
WD
1966 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1967 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1968 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
1969
1970 I2C_INIT
1971
b37c7e5e 1972 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 1973 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 1974
ba56f625 1975 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 1976
c609719b
WD
1977 I2C_PORT
1978
43d9616c
WD
1979 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1980 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1981 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
1982
1983 I2C_ACTIVE
1984
1985 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1986 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1987 define can be null.
1988
b37c7e5e
WD
1989 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1990
c609719b
WD
1991 I2C_TRISTATE
1992
1993 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1994 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1995 define can be null.
1996
b37c7e5e
WD
1997 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1998
c609719b
WD
1999 I2C_READ
2000
472d5460
YS
2001 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2002 false if it is low.
c609719b 2003
b37c7e5e
WD
2004 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2005
c609719b
WD
2006 I2C_SDA(bit)
2007
472d5460
YS
2008 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2009 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2010
b37c7e5e 2011 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 2012 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 2013 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 2014
c609719b
WD
2015 I2C_SCL(bit)
2016
472d5460
YS
2017 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2018 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2019
b37c7e5e 2020 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 2021 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
ba56f625 2022 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
b37c7e5e 2023
c609719b
WD
2024 I2C_DELAY
2025
2026 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2027 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2028 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
2029 like:
2030
b37c7e5e 2031 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 2032
793b5726
MF
2033 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2034
2035 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2036 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2037 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2038 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2039
2040 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2041 the generic GPIO functions.
2042
6d0f6bcf 2043 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 2044
8bde7f77
WD
2045 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2046 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2047 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2048 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2049 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2050 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2051 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2052 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 2053
26a33504
RR
2054 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2055
2056 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2057 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2058 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2059 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2060 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2061 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2062 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2063 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2064
17ea1177
WD
2065 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2066
2067 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2068 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2069 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2070
bb99ad6d
BW
2071 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2072
2073 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
2074 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2075 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d

2076 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2077
6d0f6bcf 2078 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
2079
2080 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 2081 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
2082 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2083 a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d
BW
2084
2085 e.g.
2086 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
c0f40859 2087 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d
BW
2088
2089 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2090
c0f40859 2091 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
6d0f6bcf 2092 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
bb99ad6d
BW
2093
2094 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2095
6d0f6bcf 2096 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
2097
2098 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2099 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2100
6d0f6bcf 2101 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2102
2103 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2104 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2105
6d0f6bcf 2106 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2107
2108 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2109 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2110
6d0f6bcf 2111 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
2112
2113 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2114 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2115 specified DTT device.
2116
be5e6181
TT
2117 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
2118
2119 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
7817cb20 2120 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
be5e6181 2121
67b23a32
HS
2122 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
2123
2124 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
2125 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
2126 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
2127 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
2128 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
2129 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
2130
2131 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
2132 feature!
2133
2134 Example:
2135 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
2136 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
2137 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
2138
2139 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
2140
2141 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
2142 of I2C Busses with muxes:
2143
2144 => i2c bus
2145 Busses reached over muxes:
2146 Bus ID: 2
2147 reached over Mux(es):
2148 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
2149 Bus ID: 3
2150 reached over Mux(es):
2151 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
2152 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
2153 =>
2154
2155 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
f9a78b8d
MJ
2156 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
2157 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
67b23a32
HS
2158 the channel 4.
2159
2160 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
f9a78b8d 2161 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
67b23a32
HS
2162 the 2 muxes.
2163
2164 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
2165 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
2166 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
2167 to add this option to other architectures.
2168
2ac6985a
AD
2169 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2170
2171 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2172 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2173 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2174 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2175 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2176 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2177 the other.

2279- Configuration Management:
2280 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2281
43d9616c
WD
2282 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2283 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2284
2285- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2286
43d9616c
WD
2287 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2288 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2289 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2290 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2291 protects these variables from casual modification by
2292 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2293 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2294 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2295
2296 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2297 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2298 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2299 these parameters.
2300
2301 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2302 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2303 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2304 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2305 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2306 read-only.]
2307
2598090b
JH
2308 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2309 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2310 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2311 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2312
c609719b
WD
2313- Protected RAM:
2314 CONFIG_PRAM
2315
2316 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2317 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2318 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2319 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2320 this default value by defining an environment
2321 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2322 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2323 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2324 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2325 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2326 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2327 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2328
fe126d8b 2329 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2330 saveenv
2331
2332 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2333 either, which results in a memory region that will
2334 not be affected by reboots.
2335
2336 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2337 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2338 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2339 following board configurations are known to be
2340 "pRAM-clean":
2341
1b0757ec
WD
2342 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2343 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,

GB
2346- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2347 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2348 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2349 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2350 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2351 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2352 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2353
c609719b
WD
2354- Error Recovery:
2355 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2356
2357 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2358 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2359 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2360 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2361 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2362 useful during development since you can try to debug
2363 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2364
2365 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2366
43d9616c
WD
2367 This variable defines the number of retries for
2368 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2369 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2370 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2371

TK
2376 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2377
2378 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2379 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2380 try longer timeout such as
2381 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

c609719b 2383- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2384 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE

2385
2386 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2387

2389 for the "hush" shell.
8078f1a5
WD
2390
2391
6d0f6bcf 2392 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2393
2394 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2395 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2396 powerful command line syntax like
2397 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2398 constructs ("shell scripts").
2399
2400 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2401 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2402
2403
6d0f6bcf 2404 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2405
2406 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2407 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2408 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2409
2410 Note:
2411
8bde7f77
WD
2412 In the current implementation, the local variables
2413 space and global environment variables space are
2414 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2415 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2416 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2417 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2418 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2419
43d9616c
WD
2420 Global environment variables are those you use
2421 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2422 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2423 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2424
2425 To store commands and special characters in a
2426 variable, please use double quotation marks
2427 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2428 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2429 symbols.

a8c7c708 2437- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2438 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2439
43d9616c
WD
2440 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2441 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2442 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2443
43d9616c
WD
2444 For example, place something like this in your
2445 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2446
2447 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2448 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2449 "myvar2=value2\0"
2450
43d9616c
WD
2451 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2452 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2453 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2454 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2455 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2456 You better know what you are doing here.
2457
43d9616c
WD
2458 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2459 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2460 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2461 boot command first.
c609719b 2462

2463 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2464
2465 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2466 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2467 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2468
2469 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2470
2471 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2472 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2473 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2474 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2475 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2476
7e27f89f
TR
2477 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2478
2479 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2480 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2481 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2482
06fd8538
SG
2483 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2484
2485 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2486 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2487 that so that the environment is not available until
2488 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2489 this is instead controlled by the value of
2490 /config/load-environment.
2491
a8c7c708 2492- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2493 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2494
8bde7f77
WD
2495 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2496 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2497 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2498
f61ec45e
EN
2499- Serial Flash support
2500 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2501
2502 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2503 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2504
2505 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2506 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2507 commands.
2508
2509 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2510 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2511 flash is present on the system.
2512
2513 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2514 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2515 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2516 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2517
24007273
SG
2518 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2519
2520 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2521 test ('sf test').
2522
3f85ce27
WD
2523- SystemACE Support:
2524 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2525
2526 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2527 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2528 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2529 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2530
2531 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2532 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2533
2534 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2535 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2536
ecb0ccd9
WD
2537- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2538 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2539
28cb9375 2540 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2541 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2542 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2543 number generator is used.
2544
28cb9375
WD
2545 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2546 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2547 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2548
2549 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2550 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2551 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2552 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2553 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2554 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2555 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2556
bf36c5d5
SG
2557- Hashing support:
2558 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2559
2560 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2561 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2562
2563 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2564
2565 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2566 size a little.
2567
2568 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2569 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2570
2571 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2572 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2573
a8c7c708 2574- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
2575 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2576
43d9616c
WD
2577 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2578 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2579 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2580 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2581 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2582 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 2583
3a608ca0
SG
2584- Detailed boot stage timing
2585 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2586 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2587 of the boot process.
2588
2589 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2590 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2591 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2592 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2593 the limit, recording will stop.
2594
2595 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2596 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2597
2598 Timer summary in microseconds:
2599 Mark Elapsed Stage
2600 0 0 reset
2601 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2602 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9

2607 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2608
2eba38cf
SG
2609 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2610 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2611 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2612
94fd1316
SG
2613 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2614 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2615 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2616 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2617 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2618 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2619 For example:
2620
2621 bootstage {
2622 154 {
2623 name = "board_init_f";
2624 mark = <3575678>;
2625 };
2626 170 {
2627 name = "lcd";
2628 accum = <33482>;
2629 };
2630 };
2631
2632 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

11ccc33f 3075 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 3076 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 3077 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 3078 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.

3091 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3092 initialization.

3168 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 3169 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 3170 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3171 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3172 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3173 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3174 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3175 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3176 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
3177
3178 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3179 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3180 be touched.
3181
3182 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3183 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3184 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3185 non page size aligned address and this could cause major

SR
3217 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3218 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 3219 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a

6d0f6bcf 3222- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
3223 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3224 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by

BS
3225 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3226 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3227 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3228 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3229 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
3230 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3231 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3232 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

6d0f6bcf 3269- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3270
3271 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3272 without this option such a download has to be
3273 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3274 copy from RAM to flash.
3275
3276 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3277 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3278 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3279 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3280 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3281
6d0f6bcf 3282- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3283 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33

5568e613
SR
3303 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3304 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3305 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3306 optionally available.

JVB
3308- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3309 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown

3312
352ef3f1
SR
3313- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3314 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3315 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3316 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3317 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3318 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3319 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3320 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3321
6d0f6bcf 3322- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f

3324 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3325 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3326 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3327 on high Ethernet traffic.

3381- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3382 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3383 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3384 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3385 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3386 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3387 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3388 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3389 your board please report the problem and send patches!

3391- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3392 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3393 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an

3402The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3403of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3404following configurations:
3405
c3eb3fe4
MF
3406- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3407
3408 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3409 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3410
5a1aceb0 3411- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3412
3413 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3414
3415 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3416 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3417 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3418 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3419 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3420 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3421 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3422 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3423 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3424 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3425 between U-Boot and the environment.
3426
0e8d1586 3427 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3428
3429 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3430 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3431 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3432 for this sector is given here.
3433
6d0f6bcf 3434 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3435
0e8d1586 3436 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3437
3438 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3439 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3440 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3441
0e8d1586 3442 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3443
3444 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3445
3446
3447 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3448 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3449 the environment.
3450
0e8d1586 3451 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3452
5a1aceb0 3453 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3454 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3455 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3456 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3457
3458 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3459 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3460 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3461 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3462 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3463 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3464 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3465 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3466 RAM, your target system will be dead.

c609719b 3489
11ccc33f 3490 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
3491 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3492 can just be read and written to, without any special
3493 provision.
3494
3495BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3496in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3497console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3498U-Boot will hang.
3499
3500Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3501environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3502keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3503to save the current settings.

3522 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3523 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3524 would require six bits.
3525
6d0f6bcf 3526 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 3527 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between

3535 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3536 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3537 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3538 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3539 byte chips.
3540
3541 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3542 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3543 in the chip address.

3548 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3549 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3550 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3551
3552 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3553 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3554 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3555 EEPROM. For example:
3556
a9046b9e 3557 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0"
548738b4
HS
3558
3559 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3560 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
c609719b 3561
057c849c 3562- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
5779d8d9 3563
d4ca31c4 3564 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
5779d8d9
WD
3565 want to use for the environment.
3566
0e8d1586
JCPV
3567 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3568 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3569 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
5779d8d9
WD
3570
3571 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3572 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3573 at the specified address.
3574
0a85a9e7
LG
3575- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3576
3577 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3578 want to use for the local device's environment.
3579
3580 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3581 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3582
3583 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3584 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3585 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 3586 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7
LG
3587
3588BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3589"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa
LG
3590environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3591but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
0a85a9e7 3592
51bfee19 3593- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
13a5695b

3595 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3596 for the environment.

0e8d1586
JCPV
3598 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3599 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
13a5695b
WD
3600
3601 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
fdd813de
SW
3602 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3603 aligned to an erase block boundary.
5779d8d9 3604
fdd813de 3605 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
e443c944 3606
0e8d1586 3607 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
3608 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3609 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 3610 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
3611 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3612
3613 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3614
3615 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3616 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3617 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3618 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3619 the range to be avoided.
3620
3621 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3622
3623 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3624 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3625 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3626 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3627 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
e443c944 3628
b74ab737
GL
3629- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3630
3631 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3632 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3633 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3634
2b74433f
JH
3635- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3636
3637 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3638 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3639 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3640
3641 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3642
3643 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3644
3645 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3646
3647 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3648 environment in.
3649
785881f7
JH
3650 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3651
3652 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3653 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3654 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3655
2b74433f
JH
3656 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3657 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3658
3659 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3660 when storing the env in UBI.
3661
06e4ae5f
SW
3662- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3663
3664 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3665 environment.
3666
3667 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3668
3669 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3670
3671 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3672
3673 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3674 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3675 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3676
3677 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3678 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3679
3680 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3681 area within the specified MMC device.
3682
5c088ee8
SW
3683 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3684 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3685 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3686 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3687 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3688 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3689 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3690
06e4ae5f
SW
3691 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3692 MMC sector boundary.
3693
3694 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3695
3696 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3697 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3698 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3699 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3700
5c088ee8
SW
3701 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3702 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3703
06e4ae5f
SW
3704 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3705 an MMC sector boundary.
3706
3707 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3708
3709 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3710 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3711 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3712
6d0f6bcf 3713- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
3714
3715 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3716 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3717 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3718 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3719 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3720 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3721 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3722
e881cb56 3723Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 3724has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 3725created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
3726until then to read environment variables.
3727
85ec0bcc
WD
3728The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3729is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3730with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3731necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3732"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3733have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
3734
3735Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3736the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 3737use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 3738
6d0f6bcf 3739- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
42d1f039 3740 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
fc3e2165 3741
6d0f6bcf 3742 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
fc3e2165
WD
3743 also needs to be defined.
3744
6d0f6bcf 3745- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
42d1f039 3746 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
c609719b 3747

3748- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3749 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3750 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3751 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3752 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3753 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

3755- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3756 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
3757 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
3758 to do this.
3759
e2e3e2b1
SG
3760- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3761 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
3762 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
3763 present.

2535d602 3773
42d1f039
WD
3774 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,

3778- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3779 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3780 PowerPC SOCs.
3781
3782- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3783 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3784 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3785
3786 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3787 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3788
3789- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3790 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3791 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 3792 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
3793 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3794 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3795 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3796
3797 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3798 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3799
3800- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
3801 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3802 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
3803 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3804 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3805
3806- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3807 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3808 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3809 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3810
3811- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3812 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3813 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

7f6c2cbc 3830
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3831 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and

43d9616c 3833 default value.
7f6c2cbc 3834
6d0f6bcf 3835 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
43d9616c
WD
3836 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
3837 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
3838 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
3839 initializations.

3841- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
3842 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
3843 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
3844 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
3845 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
3846 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
3847 is requierd.

7152b1d0 3855 Start address of memory area that can be used for
c609719b
WD
3856 initial data and stack; please note that this must be

3858 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
3859 will become available only after programming the
3860 memory controller and running certain initialization
3861 sequences.

3870 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3871 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
3872 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
c609719b 3873 data is located at the end of the available space
553f0982 3874 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
6d0f6bcf

3878
3879 Note:
3880 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
3881 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
6d0f6bcf 3882 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
c609719b

844f07d8
WD
4074 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4075 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4076 relocate itself into RAM.
4077
4078 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4079 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4080 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4081 these initializations itself.

4088- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4089 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4090 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4091 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4092 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4093 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4094 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4095 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

4112Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4113-----------------------------------
4114
4115The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4116loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4117This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4118are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4119within that device.
4120
4121- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4122 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4123 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4124 is also specified.
4125
4126- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4127 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4128 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4129 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4130 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4131
4132- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4133 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4134 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4135 virtual address in NOR flash.
4136
4137- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4138 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4139 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4140
4141- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4142 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4143 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4144
4145- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4146 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4147 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4148
292dc6c5
LG
4149- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4150 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4151 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
4152 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4153 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4154 master's memory space.

4156Building the Software:
4157======================
4158
218ca724
WD
4159Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4160and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4161all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4162(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4163recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4164which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 4165
218ca724
WD
4166If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4167have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4168you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4169Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4170necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 4171
218ca724
WD
4172 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4173 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 4174
2f8d396b
PT
4175Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4176 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4177 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4178 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4179
4180 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4181
4182 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4183 be executed on computers running Windows.
4184
218ca724
WD
4185U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4186sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
4187is done by typing:
4188
4189 make NAME_config
4190
218ca724 4191where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 4192rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 4193
2729af9d
WD
4194Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4195 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4196 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4197 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 4198 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
4199
4200 make TQM823L_config
4201 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4202
4203 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4204 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4205
4206 etc.
4207
4208
4209Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4210images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4211
4212- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4213- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4214- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4215
baf31249
MB
4216By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4217in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4218this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4219
42201. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4221
4222 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4223 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4224 make O=/tmp/build all
4225
42262. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4227
4228 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4229 make distclean
4230 make NAME_config
4231 make all
4232
4233Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4234variable.
4235
2729af9d
WD
4236
4237Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4238for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4239native "make".
4240
4241
4242If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4243to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4244steps:
4245
42461. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
4247 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4248 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
42492. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4250 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4251 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
42523. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4253 your board
42543. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4255 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
42564. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
42575. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4258 to be installed on your target system.
42596. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4260 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4261
4262
4263Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4264==============================================================
4265
218ca724
WD
4266If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4267or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
4268provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4269the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 4270official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 4271
218ca724
WD
4272But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4273cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
4274the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4275just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
4276for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4277select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4278environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4279you can type
2729af9d
WD
4280
4281 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4282
4283or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4284
4285 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4286
218ca724
WD
4287When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4288U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4289setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4290built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4291<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4292location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4293variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
4294
4295 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4296 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4297 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4298
218ca724
WD
4299With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4300log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4301during the whole build process.

4364Environment Variables:
4365======================
4366
4367U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4368can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 4369
2729af9d
WD
4370Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4371"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4372without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4373environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4374working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4375environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

2729af9d 4387 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 4388
2729af9d 4389 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 4390
7d721e34
BS
4391 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4392 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4393 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4394 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4395 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4396 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
4397 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4398 bootm_mapsize.
4399
c0f40859 4400 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
4401 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4402 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4403 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4404 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4405 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4406 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
4407
4408 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4409 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4410 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4411 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4412 environment variable.
4413
4bae9090
BS
4414 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4415 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4416 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4417
2729af9d
WD
4418 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4419 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4420 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4421 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 4422
2729af9d
WD
4423 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4424 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4425 be automatically started (by internally calling
4426 "bootm")
38b99261 4427
2729af9d
WD
4428 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4429 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4430 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4431 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4432 data.
c609719b 4433
a28afca5
DL
4434 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4435 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
4436 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4437 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4438 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4439 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4440 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4441 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4442 access it during the boot procedure.
4443
a28afca5
DL
4444 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4445 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4446 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4447 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4448 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4449 must be accessible by the kernel.
4450
eea63e05
SG
4451 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4452 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4453 defined.
4454
17ea1177
WD
4455 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4456 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4457 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4458 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4459 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4460
2729af9d
WD
4461 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4462 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4463 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4464 is usually what you want since it allows for
4465 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4466 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 4467 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
4468 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4469 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4470 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4471 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 4472
2729af9d
WD
4473 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4474 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4475 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4476 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4477 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4478 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 4479
2729af9d 4480 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 4481
2729af9d
WD
4482 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4483 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4484 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4485 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4486 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4487 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4488 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 4489
2729af9d 4490 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 4491
2729af9d
WD
4492 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4493 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
c609719b 4494
2729af9d 4495 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO

c609719b 4504
e2a53458 4505 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
c609719b 4506
e2a53458
MF
4507 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4508 For example you can do the following
c609719b 4509
48690d80
HS
4510 => setenv ethact FEC
4511 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4512 => setenv ethact SCC
4513 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
c609719b 4514
e1692577
MF
4515 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4516 available network interfaces.
4517 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4518
c96f86ee 4519 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
4520 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4521 When set to "once" the network operation will
4522 fail when all the available network interfaces
4523 are tried once without success.
4524 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4525 themselves.
c609719b 4526
b4e2f89d 4527 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 4528
28cb9375 4529 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
4530 UDP source port.
4531
28cb9375
WD
4532 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4533 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4534
c96f86ee
WD
4535 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4536 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4537
4538 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4539 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4540 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4541 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4542 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4543 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4544 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4545
4546 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 4547 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 4548 VLAN tagged frames.

4550The following image location variables contain the location of images
4551used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4552not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4553variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4554server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4555loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4556flash or offset in NAND flash.
4557
4558*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4559boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4560boards use these variables for other purposes.

4580 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4581 serverip - see above
c1551ea8 4582
c1551ea8 4583
2729af9d 4584There are two special Environment Variables:

2729af9d
WD
4586 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4587 as type string and/or serial number
4588 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4589
2729af9d
WD
4590These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4591the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4592once they have been set once.

2729af9d 4595Further special Environment Variables:

4606Callback functions for environment variables:
4607---------------------------------------------
4608
4609For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4610when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4611be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4612deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4613effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4614
4615The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4616U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4617
4618These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4619static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4620in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4621associations. The list must be in the following format:
4622
4623 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4624 list = entry[,list]
4625
4626If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4627Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4628
4629Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4630with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4631override any association in the static list. You can define
4632CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4633".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

4636Command Line Parsing:
4637=====================
f07771cc 4638
2729af9d
WD
4639There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4640the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 4641
2729af9d
WD
4642Old, simple command line parser:
4643--------------------------------
c609719b 4644
2729af9d
WD
4645- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4646- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 4647- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
4648- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4649 for example:
fe126d8b 4650 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
4651- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4652 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 4653
2729af9d
WD
4654Hush shell:
4655-----------
c609719b 4656
2729af9d
WD
4657- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4658 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4659 until...do...done, ...
4660- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4661 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4662 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4663 command
4664
4665General rules:
4666--------------
c609719b 4667
2729af9d
WD
4668(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4669 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4670 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4671 executed anyway.
c609719b 4672
2729af9d 4673(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 4674 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
4675 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4676 variables are not executed.
c609719b 4677

WD
4678Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4679=======================================
c609719b 4680
11ccc33f 4681Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
4682such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4683"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 4684
2729af9d
WD
4685Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4686MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4687"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 4688
2729af9d
WD
4689If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4690in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4691ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4692variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 4693
2729af9d
WD
4694o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4695 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 4696
2729af9d
WD
4697o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4698 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4699 used.
c609719b 4700
2729af9d
WD
4701o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4702 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 4703
2729af9d
WD
4704o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4705 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4706 warning is printed.
c609719b 4707
2729af9d
WD
4708o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4709 is raised.
c609719b 4710
ecee9324 4711If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 4712will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
4713may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4714The naming convention is as follows:
4715"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

4720U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4721images in two formats:
4722
4723New uImage format (FIT)
4724-----------------------
4725
4726Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4727to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4728components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4729SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4730
4731
4732Old uImage format
4733-----------------
4734
4735Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4736preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4737details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

4758Linux Support:
4759==============
c609719b 4760
2729af9d
WD
4761Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4762easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4763U-Boot.
c609719b 4764
2729af9d
WD
4765U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4766special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4767"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4768instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4769serves several purposes:
c609719b 4770
2729af9d
WD
4771- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4772 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4773 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 4774
2729af9d
WD
4775- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4776 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 4777
2729af9d
WD
4778- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4779 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4780 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4781 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4782 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4783 software is easier now.

4806Configuring the Linux kernel:
4807-----------------------------
c609719b 4808
2729af9d
WD
4809No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4810device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.

4813Building a Linux Image:
4814-----------------------
c609719b 4815
2729af9d
WD
4816With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4817not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4818"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4819U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4820which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4821100% compatible format.
4822
4823Example:
4824
4825 make TQM850L_config
4826 make oldconfig
4827 make dep
4828 make uImage
4829
4830The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4831encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4832CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4833
4834* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4835
4836* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4837
4838 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4839 -R .note -R .comment \
4840 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4841
4842* compress the binary image:
4843
4844 gzip -9 linux.bin
4845
4846* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4847
4848 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4849 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4850 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 4851
c609719b 4852
2729af9d
WD
4853The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4854with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4855combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4856byte header containing information about target architecture,
4857operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4858stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4859
4860"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4861print the header information, or to build new images.
4862
4863In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4864contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4865checksum verification:
c609719b 4866
2729af9d
WD
4867 tools/mkimage -l image
4868 -l ==> list image header information
4869
4870The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4871from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4872
4873 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4874 -n name -d data_file image
4875 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4876 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4877 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4878 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4879 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4880 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4881 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4882 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4883
69459791
WD
4884Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4885address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4886kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
4887
4888- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4889- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4890
4891So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4892
4893 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4894 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 4895 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \

4912 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4913
4914NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4915speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4916needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4917need to be uncompressed:
4918
a47a12be 4919 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz

4932Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file

4943 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4944
4945
4946Installing a Linux Image:
4947-------------------------
4948
4949To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4950you must convert the image to S-Record format:
4951
4952 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
4953
4954The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4955image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4956address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4957specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4958command.
4959
4960Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4961TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
4962
4963 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
4964
4965 .......... done

4994Boot Linux:
4995-----------
4996
4997The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
4998memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
4999of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5000parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5001"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5002
5003
5004 => printenv bootargs
5005 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5006
5007 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5126More About U-Boot Image Types:
5127------------------------------
5128
5129U-Boot supports the following image types:
5130
5131 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5132 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5133 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5134 the Standalone Program.
5135 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5136 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5137 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5138 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5139 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5140 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5141 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5142 being started.
5143 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5144 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5145 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5146 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5147 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5148 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5149
5150 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5151 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5152 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5153 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5154 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5155 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5156
5157 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5158 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5159 flash memory.
5160
5161 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5162 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5163 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5164 as command interpreter.

5166Booting the Linux zImage:
5167-------------------------
5168
5169On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5170using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5171as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5172
8ac28563 5173Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
017e1f3f
MV
5174kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5175address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5176format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5179Standalone HOWTO:
5180=================
5181
5182One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5183run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5184U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5185
5186Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5187
5188"Hello World" Demo:
5189-------------------
5190
5191'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5192application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5193It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5194like that:
5195
5196 => loads
5197 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5199 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...

5202 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5203
5204 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5205 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5206 Hello World
5207 argc = 7
5208 argv[0] = "40004"
5209 argv[1] = "Hello"
5210 argv[2] = "World!"
5211 argv[3] = "This"
5212 argv[4] = "is"
5213 argv[5] = "a"
5214 argv[6] = "test."
5215 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5216 Hit any key to exit ...
5217
5218 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5219
5220Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5221handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5222Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5223The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5224character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5225controlled by the following keys:
5226
5227 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5228 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5229 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5230 q - quit application
5231
5232 => loads

5267Minicom warning:
5268================
5269
5270Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5271"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5272consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5273Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5274especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
5275use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See

5288NetBSD Notes:
5289=============
5290
5291Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5292(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5293
5294Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5295NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5296need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5297Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5298attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5299missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5300
5301 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5302 # mkdir powerpc
5303 # ln -s powerpc machine
5304 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5305 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5306
5307Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5308and U-Boot include files.
5309
5310Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5311stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5312proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5313tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 5314meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5317Implementation Internals:
5318=========================
5319
5320The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5321implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5322inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5323hardware.
5324
5325
5326Initial Stack, Global Data:
5327---------------------------
5328
5329The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5330starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5331system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5332This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5333is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5334at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5335options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5336models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5337MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5338locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5339
218ca724 5340 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 5341 U-Boot mailing list:

5346 ...
5347
5348 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5349 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5350 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5351 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5352 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 5353 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
5354 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5355 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5356
5357 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5358 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 5359 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
5360 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5361 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5362 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5363 used.
5364
6d0f6bcf 5365 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
5366 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5367 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 5368 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
5369 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5370 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5371 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5372 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5373 you get the config right.

5377
5378It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5379code for the initialization procedures:
5380
5381* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5382 to write it.
5383
11ccc33f 5384* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
5385 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5386 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5387
5388* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5389 that.
5390
5391Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5392normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5393turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5394simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5395functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5396functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5397the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5398place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5399reserve for this purpose.
5400
5401When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5402relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5403GCC's implementation.
5404
5405For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5406 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 5407 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
5408 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5409 R5-R10: parameter passing
5410 R13: small data area pointer
5411 R30: GOT pointer
5412 R31: frame pointer
5413
e6bee808
JT
5414 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5415 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5416 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 5417
e7670f6c 5418 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
5419
5420 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5421 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5422 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5423 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5424 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5425 624 text + 127 data).
5426

5437 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
5438 R11: argument (frame) pointer

5440 R13: stack pointer
5441 R14: link register

5450
5451 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5452 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

5454On NDS32, the following registers are used:

5459 R16: trampoline register

5470
5471Memory Management:
5472------------------
5473
5474U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5475MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5476
5477The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5478controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5479memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5480physical memory banks.
5481
5482U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5483TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5484booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5485to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 5486memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
5487configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5488Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5489
5490Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5491of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5492
5493So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5494this:
5495
5496 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5497 :
5498 0x0000 1FFF
5499 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5500 :
5501 :
5502
5503 :
5504 :
5505 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5506 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5507 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5508 :
5509 0x00FD FFFF
5510 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5511 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5512 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5513 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5514
5515
5516System Initialization:
5517----------------------
c609719b 5518
2729af9d 5519In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 5520(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
5521configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5522To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5523To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5524initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5525which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5526part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5527the caches and the SIU.
5528
5529Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5530preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5531(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5532on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5533programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5534simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5535banks.
5536
5537When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5538different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5539bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
55400x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5541contiguous memory starting from 0.
5542
5543Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5544and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5545Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5546pages, and the final stack is set up.
5547
5548Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5549until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5550running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5551new address in RAM.

5687* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5688 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 5689 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
5690 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5691 with some other mail clients.
5692
5693 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5694 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5695 GNU diff.

5714* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5715 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5716 for any of the boards.

5718* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5719 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5720 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.

5722* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5723 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5724 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5725 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5726 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5727 modification.

5729* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5730 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5731 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5732 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
