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
218ca724

54who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board
55maintainers.

234Software Configuration:
235=======================
236
237Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
238rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
239
240There are two classes of configuration variables:
241
242* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
243 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
244 "CONFIG_".
245
246* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
247 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
248 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 249 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
250
251Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
252identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
253do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
254links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
255as an example here.
256
257
258Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
259---------------------------------------------------
260
261For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
262configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
263
264Example: For a TQM823L module type:
265
266 cd u-boot
267 make TQM823L_config
268
11ccc33f 269For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
c609719b
WD
270e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
271directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
272
273
274Configuration Options:
275----------------------
276
277Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
278such information is kept in a configuration file
279"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
280
281Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
282"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
283
284
7f6c2cbc
WD
285Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
286kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
287build a config tool - later.
288

75d1ea7f 352
ba56f625
WD
353 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
354 of relying on the correctness of the configured
355 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
356 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
357 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 358 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
75d1ea7f 359
506f3918
HS

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

cf48eb9a 431
0b953ffc
MK
432 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
433 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
cf48eb9a 434 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
0b953ffc 435 by this value.
cf48eb9a 436
92bbd64e
DS
437- MIPS CPU options:
438 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
439
440 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
441 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
442 relocation.
443

WD
484 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
485
486 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
487 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
488 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
489 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
490 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
491 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
492 Linux kernel.
c609719b 493 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 494 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
c609719b

534 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
535
536 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
537 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
538 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
539 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
540 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
541 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

683- Console Rx buffer length
684 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
685 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
2b3f12c2 686 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
c92fac91
HS
687 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
688 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
689 the SMC.

9558b48a 691- Pre-Console Buffer:
4cf2609b
WD
692 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
693 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
694 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
695 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
696 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
697 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
698 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 699 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
700 earlier bytes are discarded.
701
702 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
703 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

705- Safe printf() functions
706 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
707 the printf() functions. These are defined in
708 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
709 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
710 If this option is not given then these functions will
711 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
712 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.

745 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c

746 The value of these goes into the environment as
747 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
748 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 749 RAM and NFS.

751- Pre-Boot Commands:
752 CONFIG_PREBOOT
753
754 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
755 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
756 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
757 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
758 entering interactive mode.
759
760 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
761 automatically generated or modified. For an example
762 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
763 modified when the user holds down a certain
764 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
765 booting the systems
766
767- Serial Download Echo Mode:
768 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
769 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
770 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
771 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
772 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
773 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
774 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

901- Device tree:
902 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
903 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
904 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
905 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
906 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
907 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
908
2c0f79e4
SG
909 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
910 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
911
912 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
913 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
914 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
915 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
916 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
917 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 918
2c0f79e4
SG
919 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
920 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
921 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
922 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
923

04e5ae79 1394 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
7d3053fb
TT
1395 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1396 support, and should also define these other macros:
1397

1476
7152b1d0 1477- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1478
8bde7f77
WD
1479 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1480 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1481 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1482 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1483 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1484 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1485 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1486 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1487
1ca298ce
MW
1488 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1489
1490 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1491 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1492 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1493 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1494 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1495 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1496
1497 Example:
1498 setenv splashpos m,m
1499 => image at center of screen
1500
1501 setenv splashpos 30,20
1502 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1503
1504 setenv splashpos -10,m
1505 => vertically centered image
1506 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

SR
1508- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1509
1510 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1511 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1512 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1513
d5011762
AG
1514- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1515
1516 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1517 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1518 bmp command.
1519
f2b96dfb
LW
1520- Do compresssing for memory range:
1521 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1522
1523 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1524 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1525
c29fdfc1
WD
1526- Compression support:
1527 CONFIG_BZIP2
1528
1529 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1530 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1531 compressed images are supported.
1532
42d1f039 1533 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1534 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1535 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1536
fc9c1727
LCM
1537 CONFIG_LZMA
1538
1539 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1540 images is included.
1541
1542 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1543 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1544 formula:
1545
1546 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1547
1548 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1549 and Literal pos bits.
1550
1551 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1552 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1553 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1554 a very small buffer.
1555
1556 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1557 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1558 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
fc9c1727 1559
17ea1177

1560- MII/PHY support:
1561 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1562
1563 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1564
1565 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1566
1567 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1568
1569 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1570
1571 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1572 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1573
1574 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1575
1576 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1577 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1578 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1579 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1580
1581 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1582
1583 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1584 command issued before MII status register can be read

1623 sent to.
1624 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1625
1626- Subnet mask:
1627 CONFIG_NETMASK
1628
1629 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1630 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1631 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1632 forwarded through a router.
1633 (Environment variable "netmask")
1634
53a5c424
DU
1635- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1636 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1637
1638 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1639 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 1640 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
53a5c424
DU
1641 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1642 multicast group.
1643
c609719b
WD
1644- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1645 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1646
1647 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1648 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1649 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1650 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1651 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1652 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1653 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1654 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1655 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1656
1657 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1658 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1659 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1660 4th and following
1661 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1662
fe389a82 1663- DHCP Advanced Options:
1fe80d79
JL
1664 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1665 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1666
1667 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK

fe389a82 1680
5d110f0a
WC
1681 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1682 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 1683
2c00e099
JH
1684 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1685 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1686 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1687 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1688 is not available.
1689
fe389a82
SR
1690 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1691 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1692 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1693 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1694 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1695 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1696 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 1697 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
1698
1699 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1700 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1701 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 1702 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
1703 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1704 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 1705
d9a2f416
AV
1706 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1707
1708 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1709 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1710 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1711 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1712 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1713 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1714 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1715 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1716 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1717 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1718 this delay.

JH
1720 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1721 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1722 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1723 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1724 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1725
1726 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1727
a3d991bd 1728 - CDP Options:
6e592385 1729 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
a3d991bd
WD
1730
1731 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1732
1733 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1734
1735 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1736 of the device.
1737
1738 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1739
1740 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1741 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
11ccc33f 1742 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
a3d991bd
WD
1743
1744 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1745
1746 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1747 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1748
1749 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1750
1751 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1752
1753 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1754
1755 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1756
1757 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1758
1759 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1760

WD
1770- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1771
1772 Several configurations allow to display the current
1773 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1774 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1775 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1776 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1777 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1778 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1779 feature in U-Boot.
1780
1781- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1782
1783 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1784 on those systems that support this (optional)
1785 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1786
1787- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1788
b37c7e5e 1789 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
945af8d7 1790 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
11ccc33f 1791 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
c609719b 1792
945af8d7 1793 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 1794 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
1795 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1796 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 1797 command line interface.
c609719b 1798
bb99ad6d 1799 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 1800
945af8d7 1801 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
b37c7e5e
WD
1802 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1803 support for I2C.
c609719b 1804
945af8d7 1805 There are several other quantities that must also be
b37c7e5e 1806 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
c609719b 1807
6d0f6bcf 1808 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 1809 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 1810 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 1811 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 1812
8d321b81 1813 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 1814 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
1815 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1816 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1817 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 1818

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

43d9616c
WD
2059 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2060 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2061 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2062 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2063 defined, the board configuration must define several
2064 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For

2067 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2068
2069 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads

6d0f6bcf 2102 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
c609719b 2103

2141- Configuration Management:
2142 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2143
43d9616c
WD
2144 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2145 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2146
2147- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2148
43d9616c
WD
2149 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2150 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2151 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2152 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2153 protects these variables from casual modification by
2154 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2155 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2156 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2157
2158 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2159 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2160 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2161 these parameters.
2162
2163 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2164 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2165 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2166 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2167 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2168 read-only.]
2169
2170- Protected RAM:
2171 CONFIG_PRAM
2172
2173 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2174 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2175 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2176 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2177 this default value by defining an environment
2178 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2179 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2180 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2181 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2182 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2183 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2184 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2185
fe126d8b 2186 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2187 saveenv
2188
2189 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2190 either, which results in a memory region that will
2191 not be affected by reboots.
2192
2193 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2194 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2195 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2196 following board configurations are known to be
2197 "pRAM-clean":
2198

c609719b
WD
2202
2203- Error Recovery:
2204 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2205
2206 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2207 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2208 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2209 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2210 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2211 useful during development since you can try to debug
2212 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2213
2214 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2215
43d9616c
WD
2216 This variable defines the number of retries for
2217 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2218 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2219 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2220
40cb90ee
GL
2221 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2222
2223 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2224
48a3e999
TK
2225 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2226
2227 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2228 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2229 try longer timeout such as
2230 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2231
c609719b 2232- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2233 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
04a85b3b
WD
2234
2235 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2236

2237 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2238 for the "hush" shell.
8078f1a5
WD
2239
2240
6d0f6bcf 2241 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2242
2243 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2244 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2245 powerful command line syntax like
2246 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2247 constructs ("shell scripts").
2248
2249 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2250 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2251
2252
6d0f6bcf 2253 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2254
2255 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2256 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2257 to complete a command. Usually "> ".

2261 In the current implementation, the local variables
2262 space and global environment variables space are
2263 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2264 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2265 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2266 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2267 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2268
43d9616c
WD
2269 Global environment variables are those you use
2270 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2271 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2272 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2273
2274 To store commands and special characters in a
2275 variable, please use double quotation marks
2276 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2277 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2278 symbols.

2280- Commandline Editing and History:
2281 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2282
11ccc33f 2283 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
b9365a26 2284 commandline input operations

a8c7c708 2286- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2287 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2288
43d9616c
WD
2289 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2290 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2291 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2292
43d9616c
WD
2293 For example, place something like this in your
2294 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2295
2296 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2297 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2298 "myvar2=value2\0"
2299
43d9616c
WD
2300 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2301 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2302 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2303 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2304 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2305 You better know what you are doing here.
2306
43d9616c
WD
2307 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2308 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2309 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2310 boot command first.
c609719b 2311
5e724ca2
SW
2312 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2313
2314 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2315 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2316 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2317
2318 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2319
2320 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2321 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2322 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2323 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2324 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2325
7e27f89f
TR
2326 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2327
2328 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2329 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2330 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2331
a8c7c708 2332- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2333 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2334
8bde7f77
WD
2335 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2336 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2337 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2338
f61ec45e
EN
2339- Serial Flash support
2340 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2341
2342 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2343 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2344
2345 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2346 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2347 commands.
2348
2349 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2350 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2351 flash is present on the system.
2352
2353 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2354 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2355 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2356 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2357
3f85ce27
WD
2358- SystemACE Support:
2359 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2360
2361 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2362 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2363 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2364 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2365
2366 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2367 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2368
2369 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2370 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2371
ecb0ccd9
WD
2372- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2373 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2374
28cb9375 2375 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2376 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2377 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2378 number generator is used.
2379
28cb9375
WD
2380 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2381 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2382 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2383
2384 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2385 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2386 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2387 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2388 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2389 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2390 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2391
a8c7c708 2392- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
2393 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2394
43d9616c
WD
2395 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2396 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2397 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2398 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2399 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2400 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 2401
3a608ca0
SG
2402- Detailed boot stage timing
2403 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2404 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2405 of the boot process.
2406
2407 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2408 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2409 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2410 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2411 the limit, recording will stop.
2412
2413 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2414 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2415
2416 Timer summary in microseconds:
2417 Mark Elapsed Stage
2418 0 0 reset
2419 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2420 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2421 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2422 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2423 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2424 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2425 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2426
2eba38cf
SG
2427 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2428 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2429 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2430
94fd1316
SG
2431 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2432 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2433 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2434 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2435 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2436 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2437 For example:
2438
2439 bootstage {
2440 154 {
2441 name = "board_init_f";
2442 mark = <3575678>;
2443 };
2444 170 {
2445 name = "lcd";
2446 accum = <33482>;
2447 };
2448 };
2449
2450 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

a8c7c708
WD
2793- Interrupt support (PPC):
2794
d4ca31c4
WD
2795 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2796 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 2797 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 2798 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 2799 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 2800 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 2801 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
2802 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2803 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2804 general timer_interrupt().
a8c7c708 2805
c609719b
WD
2806- General:
2807
43d9616c
WD
2808 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2809 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2810 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
11ccc33f 2811 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
2812 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2813 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2814 initialization.
c609719b 2815
43d9616c
WD
2816 If there are no modem init strings in the
2817 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2818 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
11ccc33f 2819 suppressed, though.

2823Board initialization settings:
2824------------------------------
2825
2826During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
2827to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
2828before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
2829following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
2830architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
2831typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
2832
2833- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
2834- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
2835- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()

2844- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
2845 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
2846
6d0f6bcf 2847- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
c609719b
WD
2848 prompt for user input.
2849
6d0f6bcf 2850- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
c609719b 2851
6d0f6bcf 2852- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
c609719b 2853

c609719b 2855
6d0f6bcf 2856- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
c609719b
WD
2857 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
2858 booted
2859
6d0f6bcf 2860- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b
WD
2861 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
2862
6d0f6bcf 2863- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 2864 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 2865
6d0f6bcf 2866- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
2867 If the board specific function
2868 extern int overwrite_console (void);
2869 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
2870 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
2871
6d0f6bcf 2872- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
8bde7f77 2873 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 2874
6d0f6bcf 2875- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
c609719b
WD
2876 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
2877
6d0f6bcf 2878- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
2879 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
2880 simple memory test.
2881
6d0f6bcf 2882- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
8bde7f77 2883 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
c609719b 2884
6d0f6bcf 2885- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
5f535fe1
WD
2886 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
2887 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
2888
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
2889- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
2890 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 2891 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 2892 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
2893 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2894 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2895 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 2896 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 2897 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 2898 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
2899
2900 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2901 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2902 be touched.
2903
2904 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2905 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2906 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2907 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
2908 problems.

2922
6d0f6bcf 2923- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
2924 Physical start address of Flash memory.
2925
6d0f6bcf 2926- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
2927 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
2928 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 2929 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 2930 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 2931
6d0f6bcf 2932- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
2933 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
2934 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
2935 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
2936 flash sector.
c609719b 2937
6d0f6bcf 2938- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
2939 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
2940
6d0f6bcf 2941- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
2942 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2943 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 2944 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
2945 to adjust this setting to your needs.
2946
6d0f6bcf 2947- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
2948 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
2949 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
2950 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
2951 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
2952 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
2953 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 2954 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
2955 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
2956 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
2957 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 2958
fca43cc8
JR
2959- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
2960 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
2961 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
2962 is enabled.
2963
2964- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
2965 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
2966 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2967
2968- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
2969 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
2970 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2971
6d0f6bcf 2972- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
2973 Max number of Flash memory banks
2974
6d0f6bcf 2975- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:

2989
6d0f6bcf 2990- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
2991 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
2992 instead of U-Boot software protection.
2993
6d0f6bcf 2994- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
2995
2996 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2997 without this option such a download has to be
2998 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2999 copy from RAM to flash.
3000
3001 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3002 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3003 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3004 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3005 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3006
6d0f6bcf 3007- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3008 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
3009 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3010
00b1883a 3011- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33
WD
3012 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3013 in the drivers directory
c609719b 3014
91809ed5
PZ
3015- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3016 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3017 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3018 to the MTD layer.
3019
6d0f6bcf 3020- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
3021 Use buffered writes to flash.
3022
3023- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3024 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3025 write commands.
3026
6d0f6bcf 3027- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3028 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3029 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3030 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3031 optionally available.
3032
9a042e9c
JVB
3033- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3034 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3035 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3036 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3037
6d0f6bcf 3038- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
3039 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3040 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3041 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3042 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3043 on high Ethernet traffic.

3046- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3047
071bc923
WD
3048 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3049 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3050 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3051 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see

WD
3054The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3055of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3056following configurations:
3057
c3eb3fe4
MF
3058- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3059
3060 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3061 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3062
5a1aceb0 3063- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3064
3065 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3066
3067 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3068 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3069 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3070 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3071 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3072 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3073 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3074 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3075 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3076 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3077 between U-Boot and the environment.
3078
0e8d1586 3079 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3080
3081 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3082 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3083 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3084 for this sector is given here.
3085
6d0f6bcf 3086 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3087
0e8d1586 3088 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3089
3090 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3091 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3092 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3093
0e8d1586 3094 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:

0e8d1586 3103 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3104
5a1aceb0 3105 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3106 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3107 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3108 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3109
3110 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3111 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3112 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3113 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3114 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3115 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3116 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3117 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3118 RAM, your target system will be dead.

11ccc33f 3142 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
3143 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3144 can just be read and written to, without any special
3145 provision.
3146
3147BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3148in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3149console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3150U-Boot will hang.
3151
3152Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3153environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3154keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3155to save the current settings.

3170 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3171 The default address is zero.
3172
6d0f6bcf 3173 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
3174 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3175 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3176 would require six bits.
3177
6d0f6bcf 3178 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 3179 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between

c609719b 3181
6d0f6bcf 3182 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3183 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3184 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3185
6d0f6bcf 3186 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
3187 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3188 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3189 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3190 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3191 byte chips.
3192
3193 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3194 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3195 in the chip address.
3196
6d0f6bcf 3197 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:

3203
3204 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3205 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3206 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3207 EEPROM. For example:

fc54c7fa 3238 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7

5779d8d9 3256
fdd813de 3257 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
e443c944 3258
0e8d1586 3259 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
3260 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3261 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 3262 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
3263 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3264
3265 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3266
3267 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3268 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3269 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3270 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3271 the range to be avoided.
3272
3273 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3274
3275 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3276 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3277 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3278 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3279 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

GL
3281- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3282
3283 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3284 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3285 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3286
6d0f6bcf 3287- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
3288
3289 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3290 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3291 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3292 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3293 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3294 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3295 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3296
e881cb56 3297Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 3298has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 3299created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
3300until then to read environment variables.
3301
85ec0bcc
WD
3302The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3303is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3304with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3305necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3306"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3307have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
3308
3309Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3310the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 3311use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

3346- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3347 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3348 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3349
3350 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3351 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3352
3353- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3354 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3355 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 3356 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
3357 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3358 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3359 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3360
3361 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3362 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3363
3364- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
3365 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3366 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
3367 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3368 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3369
3370- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3371 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3372 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3373 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3374
3375- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3376 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3377 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

WD
3631 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
3632 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
3633 relocate itself into RAM.
3634
3635 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only

3651Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
3652-----------------------------------
3653
3654The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3655loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3656This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3657are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3658within that device.
3659
3660- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3661 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
3662 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3663 is also specified.
3664
3665- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3666 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
3667 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3668 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3669 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3670
3671- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3672 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3673 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3674 virtual address in NOR flash.
3675
3676- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3677 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3678 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3679
3680- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3681 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
3682 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3683
3684- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
3685 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
3686 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3687
292dc6c5
LG
3688- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
3689 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
3690 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
3691 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
3692 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
3693 master's memory space.

3695Building the Software:
3696======================
3697
218ca724
WD
3698Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3699and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3700all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3701(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3702recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3703which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 3704
218ca724
WD
3705If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3706have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3707you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3708Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3709necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 3710
218ca724
WD
3711 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3712 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 3713
2f8d396b
PT
3714Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3715 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3716 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3717 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
3718
3719 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3720
3721 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3722 be executed on computers running Windows.
3723
218ca724
WD
3724U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3725sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
3726is done by typing:
3727
3728 make NAME_config
3729
218ca724 3730where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 3731rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 3732
2729af9d
WD
3733Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3734 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3735 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3736 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 3737 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
3738
3739 make TQM823L_config
3740 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
3741
3742 make TQM823L_LCD_config
3743 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
3744
3745 etc.
3746
3747
3748Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3749images ready for download to / installation on your system:
3750
3751- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3752- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3753- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
3754
baf31249
MB
3755By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3756in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3757this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3758
37591. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3760
3761 make O=/tmp/build distclean
3762 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
3763 make O=/tmp/build all
3764
37652. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
3766
3767 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3768 make distclean
3769 make NAME_config
3770 make all
3771
3772Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
3773variable.
3774
2729af9d
WD
3775
3776Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3777for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3778native "make".
3779
3780
3781If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3782to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3783steps:
3784
37851. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
3786 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
3787 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
37882. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3789 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3790 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
37913. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3792 your board
37933. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3794 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
37954. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
37965. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3797 to be installed on your target system.
37986. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3799 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
3800
3801
3802Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
3803==============================================================
3804
218ca724
WD
3805If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3806or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
3807provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3808the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 3809official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 3810
218ca724
WD
3811But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3812cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
3813the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3814just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
3815for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
3816select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
3817environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
3818you can type
2729af9d
WD
3819
3820 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3821
3822or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
3823
3824 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
3825
218ca724
WD
3826When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
3827U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
3828setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
3829built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
3830<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
3831location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
3832variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
3833
3834 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3835 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
3836 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3837
218ca724
WD
3838With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
3839log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
3840during the whole build process.

3902Environment Variables:
3903======================
3904
3905U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
3906can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 3907
2729af9d
WD
3908Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
3909"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
3910without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
3911environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
3912working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
3913environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

3929 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3930 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3931 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
3932 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
3933 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
3934 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
3935 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
3936 bootm_mapsize.
3937
c0f40859 3938 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
3939 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
3940 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
3941 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
3942 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
3943 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
3944 used otherwise.

3945
3946 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3947 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3948 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
3949 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
3950 environment variable.

3952 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
3953 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
3954 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
3955
2729af9d
WD
3956 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
3957 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
3958 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
3959 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 3960
2729af9d
WD
3961 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3962 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3963 be automatically started (by internally calling
3964 "bootm")
38b99261 3965
2729af9d
WD
3966 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3967 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3968 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3969 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3970 data.
c609719b 3971
a28afca5
DL
3972 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
3973 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
3974 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
3975 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
3976 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
3977 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
3978 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
3979 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
3980 access it during the boot procedure.
3981
a28afca5
DL
3982 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
3983 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
3984 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
3985 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
3986 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
3987 must be accessible by the kernel.
3988
eea63e05
SG
3989 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
3990 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
3991 defined.
3992
17ea1177
WD
3993 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3994 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3995 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3996 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3997 it must be saved and board must be reset.
3998
2729af9d
WD
3999 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4000 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4001 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4002 is usually what you want since it allows for
4003 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4004 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 4005 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
4006 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4007 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4008 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4009 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 4010
2729af9d
WD
4011 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4012 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4013 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4014 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4015 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4016 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 4017
2729af9d 4018 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 4019
2729af9d
WD
4020 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4021 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4022 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4023 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4024 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4025 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4026 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

4053 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4054 available network interfaces.
4055 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4056
c96f86ee 4057 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
4058 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4059 When set to "once" the network operation will
4060 fail when all the available network interfaces

4062 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4063 themselves.

ecb0ccd9
WD
4068 UDP source port.
4069
28cb9375
WD
4070 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4071 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4072
c96f86ee
WD
4073 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4074 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4075
4076 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4077 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4078 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4079 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4080 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4081 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4082 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4083
4084 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 4085 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q

4088The following image location variables contain the location of images
4089used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4090not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4091variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4092server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4093loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4094flash or offset in NAND flash.
4095
4096*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4097boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some

4126 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4127
2729af9d
WD
4128These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of

4145=====================
f07771cc 4146
2729af9d
WD
4147There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4148the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 4149
2729af9d
WD
4150Old, simple command line parser:
4151--------------------------------
c609719b 4152
2729af9d
WD
4153- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4154- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 4155- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
4156- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4157 for example:
fe126d8b 4158 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
4159- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4160 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 4161
2729af9d
WD
4162Hush shell:
4163-----------
c609719b 4164
2729af9d
WD
4165- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4166 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4167 until...do...done, ...
4168- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4169 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4170 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4171 command
4172
4173General rules:
4174--------------
c609719b 4175
2729af9d
WD
4176(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4177 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4178 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4179 executed anyway.
c609719b 4180
2729af9d 4181(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 4182 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
4183 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4184 variables are not executed.
c609719b 4185
2729af9d
WD
4186Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4187=======================================
c609719b 4188
11ccc33f 4189Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
4190such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4191"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 4192
2729af9d
WD
4193Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4194MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4195"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 4196
2729af9d
WD
4197If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4198in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4199ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4200variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 4201
2729af9d
WD
4202o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4203 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 4204
2729af9d
WD
4205o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4206 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4207 used.
c609719b 4208
2729af9d
WD
4209o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4210 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 4211
2729af9d
WD
4212o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4213 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4214 warning is printed.
c609719b 4215
2729af9d
WD
4216o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4217 is raised.
c609719b 4218
ecee9324 4219If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 4220will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
4221may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4222The naming convention is as follows:
4223"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

c609719b 4227

MB
4228U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4229images in two formats:
4230
4231New uImage format (FIT)
4232-----------------------
4233
4234Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4235to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4236components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4237SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4238
4239
4240Old uImage format
4241-----------------
4242
4243Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4244preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4245details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

4266Linux Support:
4267==============
c609719b 4268
2729af9d
WD
4269Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4270easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4271U-Boot.
c609719b 4272
2729af9d
WD
4273U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4274special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4275"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4276instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4277serves several purposes:
c609719b 4278
2729af9d
WD
4279- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4280 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4281 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 4282
2729af9d
WD
4283- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4284 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 4285
2729af9d
WD
4286- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4287 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4288 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4289 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4290 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4291 software is easier now.

4294Linux HOWTO:
4295============
c609719b 4296
2729af9d
WD
4297Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4298---------------------------------------
c609719b 4299
2729af9d
WD
4300U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4301configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4302(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4303Linux :-).
c609719b 4304
a47a12be 4305But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 4306
2729af9d
WD
4307Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4308include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
4309Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4310and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 4311as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 4312
c609719b 4313
2729af9d
WD
4314Configuring the Linux kernel:
4315-----------------------------
c609719b 4316
2729af9d
WD
4317No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4318device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4319
4320
4321Building a Linux Image:
4322-----------------------
c609719b 4323
2729af9d
WD
4324With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4325not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4326"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4327U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4328which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4329100% compatible format.
4330
4331Example:
4332
4333 make TQM850L_config
4334 make oldconfig
4335 make dep
4336 make uImage
4337
4338The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4339encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4340CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4341
4342* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4343
4344* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4345
4346 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4347 -R .note -R .comment \
4348 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4349
4350* compress the binary image:
4351
4352 gzip -9 linux.bin
4353
4354* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4355
4356 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4357 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4358 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 4359
c609719b 4360
2729af9d
WD
4361The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4362with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4363combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4364byte header containing information about target architecture,
4365operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4366stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4367
4368"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4369print the header information, or to build new images.
4370
4371In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4372contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4373checksum verification:
c609719b 4374
2729af9d
WD
4375 tools/mkimage -l image
4376 -l ==> list image header information
4377
4378The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4379from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4380
4381 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4382 -n name -d data_file image
4383 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4384 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4385 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4386 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4387 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4388 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4389 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4390 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4391
69459791
WD
4392Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4393address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4394kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
4395
4396- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4397- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4398
4399So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4400
4401 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4402 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \

4412To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4413

4419 Load Address: 0x00000000
4420 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4421
4422NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4423speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4424needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4425need to be uncompressed:
4426
a47a12be 4427 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz

4440Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
4441when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
4442
4443 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \

4450 Load Address: 0x00000000
4451 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4452
4453
4454Installing a Linux Image:
4455-------------------------
4456
4457To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4458you must convert the image to S-Record format:
4459
4460 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
4461
4462The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4463image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4464address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4465specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4466command.
4467
4468Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4469TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
4470
4471 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
4472
4473 .......... done

4502Boot Linux:
4503-----------
4504
4505The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
4506memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
4507of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
4508parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
4509"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
4510
4511
4512 => printenv bootargs
4513 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
4514
4515 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

4634More About U-Boot Image Types:
4635------------------------------
4636
4637U-Boot supports the following image types:
4638
4639 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4640 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4641 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4642 the Standalone Program.
4643 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4644 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4645 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4646 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4647 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4648 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4649 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4650 being started.
4651 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4652 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4653 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4654 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4655 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4656 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
4657
4658 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4659 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4660 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4661 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4662 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4663 a multiple of 4 bytes).
4664
4665 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4666 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4667 flash memory.
4668
4669 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4670 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4671 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4672 as command interpreter.

4674Booting the Linux zImage:
4675-------------------------
4676
4677On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
4678using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
4679as the syntax of "bootm" command.
4680
017e1f3f
MV
4681Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
4682kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
4683address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
4684format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

4687Standalone HOWTO:
4688=================
4689
4690One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4691run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4692U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
4693
4694Two simple examples are included with the sources:
4695
4696"Hello World" Demo:
4697-------------------
4698
4699'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
4700application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
4701It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
4702like that:
4703
4704 => loads
4705 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
4706 ~>examples/hello_world.srec

4710 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
4711

4713 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
4714 Hello World
4715 argc = 7
4716 argv[0] = "40004"
4717 argv[1] = "Hello"
4718 argv[2] = "World!"
4719 argv[3] = "This"
4720 argv[4] = "is"
4721 argv[5] = "a"
4722 argv[6] = "test."
4723 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
4724 Hit any key to exit ...
4725
4726 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
4727
4728Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
4729handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4730Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4731The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4732character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4733controlled by the following keys:
4734
4735 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
4736 b - enable interrupts and start timer
4737 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
4738 q - quit application
4739
4740 => loads

4775Minicom warning:
4776================
4777
4778Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the

4796NetBSD Notes:
4797=============
4798
4799Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
4800(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
4801
4802Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
4803NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
4804need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
4805Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
4806attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
4807missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
4808
4809 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
4810 # mkdir powerpc
4811 # ln -s powerpc machine
4812 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4813 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
4814
4815Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4816and U-Boot include files.
4817
4818Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4819stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4820proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4821tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 4822meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

4825Implementation Internals:
4826=========================
4827
4828The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4829implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4830inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4831hardware.
4832
4833
4834Initial Stack, Global Data:
4835---------------------------
4836
4837The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4838starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4839system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4840This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4841is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4842at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4843options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4844models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4845MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4846locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
4847
218ca724 4848 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 4849 U-Boot mailing list:

4854 ...
4855
4856 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4857 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4858 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
4859 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
4860 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 4861 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
4862 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
4863 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
4864
4865 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
4866 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 4867 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
4868 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
4869 board designers haven't used it for something that would
4870 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
4871 used.
4872
6d0f6bcf 4873 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
4874 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
4875 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 4876 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
4877 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
4878 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
4879 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
4880 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
4881 you get the config right.

4885
4886It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
4887code for the initialization procedures:
4888
4889* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
4890 to write it.
4891
11ccc33f 4892* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
4893 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
4894 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
4895
4896* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
4897 that.
4898
4899Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
4900normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
4901turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
4902simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
4903functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
4904functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
4905the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
4906place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
4907reserve for this purpose.
4908
4909When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
4910relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
4911GCC's implementation.
4912
4913For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
4914 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 4915 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
4916 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
4917 R5-R10: parameter passing
4918 R13: small data area pointer
4919 R30: GOT pointer
4920 R31: frame pointer
4921
e6bee808
JT
4922 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
4923 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
4924 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 4925
e7670f6c 4926 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
4927
4928 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
4929 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
4930 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
4931 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
4932 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
4933 624 text + 127 data).
4934

4942 R0: function argument word/integer result
4943 R1-R3: function argument word
4944 R9: GOT pointer
4945 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
4946 R11: argument (frame) pointer
4947 R12: temporary workspace
4948 R13: stack pointer
4949 R14: link register
4950 R15: program counter

4956
4957 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
4958
4959 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
4960 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

ML
4962On NDS32, the following registers are used:
4963
4964 R0-R1: argument/return
4965 R2-R5: argument
4966 R15: temporary register for assembler
4967 R16: trampoline register
4968 R28: frame pointer (FP)
4969 R29: global pointer (GP)

4978
4979Memory Management:
4980------------------
4981
4982U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
4983MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
4984
4985The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
4986controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
4987memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
4988physical memory banks.
4989
4990U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
4991TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
4992booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
4993to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 4994memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
4995configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
4996Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
4997
4998Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
4999of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5000
5001So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5002this:
5003
5004 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5005 :
5006 0x0000 1FFF
5007 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5008 :
5009 :
5010
5011 :
5012 :
5013 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5014 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5015 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5016 :
5017 0x00FD FFFF
5018 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5019 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5020 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5021 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5022
5023
5024System Initialization:
5025----------------------
c609719b 5026
2729af9d 5027In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 5028(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
5029configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5030To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5031To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5032initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5033which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5034part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5035the caches and the SIU.
5036
5037Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5038preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5039(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5040on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5041programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5042simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5043banks.
5044
5045When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5046different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5047bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
50480x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5049contiguous memory starting from 0.
5050
5051Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5052and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5053Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5054pages, and the final stack is set up.
5055
5056Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5057until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5058running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5059new address in RAM.

5224 for any of the boards.

5226* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5227 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5228 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.

5230* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5231 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5232 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5233 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5234 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5235 modification.

5237* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5238 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5239 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5240 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
