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

126Versioning:
127===========
128
129U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a
130sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2",
131sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4".
132
133The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development
134between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of
135U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0".

200Software Configuration:
201=======================
202
203Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
204rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
205
206There are two classes of configuration variables:
207
208* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
209 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
210 "CONFIG_".
211
212* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
213 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
214 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 215 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
216
217Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
218identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
219do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
220links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
221as an example here.
222
223
224Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
225---------------------------------------------------
226
227For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
228configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
229
230Example: For a TQM823L module type:
231
232 cd u-boot
233 make TQM823L_config
234
11ccc33f 235For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
c609719b
WD
236e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
237directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
238
239
240Configuration Options:
241----------------------
242
243Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
244such information is kept in a configuration file
245"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
246
247Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
248"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
249
250
7f6c2cbc
WD
251Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
252kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
253build a config tool - later.
254
255
c609719b
WD
256The following options need to be configured:
257
2628114e

285
2535d602
WD
286- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)
287 CONFIG_ADSTYPE
288 Possible values are:

296 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
c609719b 297
11ccc33f 298- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
66ca92a5
WD
299 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
300 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
5da627a4
WD
301 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
302 reference PIT/RTC clock
66ca92a5
WD
303 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
304 or XTAL/EXTAL)
c609719b 305
66ca92a5 306- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
307 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
308 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
66ca92a5 309 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
75d1ea7f
WD
310 See doc/README.MPC866
311
6d0f6bcf 312 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
75d1ea7f 313
ba56f625
WD
314 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
315 of relying on the correctness of the configured
316 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
317 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
318 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 319 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
75d1ea7f 320
0b953ffc 321- Intel Monahans options:
6d0f6bcf 322 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
0b953ffc
MK
323
324 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
325 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
326 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
327
6d0f6bcf 328 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
cf48eb9a 329
0b953ffc
MK
330 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
331 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
cf48eb9a 332 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
0b953ffc 333 by this value.
cf48eb9a 334
5da627a4 335- Linux Kernel Interface:
c609719b
WD
336 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
337
338 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
339 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
340 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
341 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
342 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
343 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
344 Linux kernel.
c609719b 345 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 346 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
c609719b
WD
347 default environment.
348
5da627a4
WD
349 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
350
11ccc33f 351 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
5da627a4
WD
352 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
353 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
354
fec6d9ee 355 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
f57f70aa
WD
356
357 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
213bf8c8
GVB
358 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
359 concepts).
360
361 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
362 * New libfdt-based support
363 * Adds the "fdt" command
3bb342fc 364 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
213bf8c8 365
f57f70aa 366 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node.
c2871f03 367 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node.
f57f70aa 368 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
c2871f03 369 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
f57f70aa 370
11ccc33f
MZ
371 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
372 addresses
3bb342fc 373
4e253137
KG
374 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
375
376 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
377 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
f57f70aa 378
0267768e
MM
379 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
380
11ccc33f 381 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
0267768e
MM
382 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
383
0b2f4eca
NG
384- vxWorks boot parameters:
385
386 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
387 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
388 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
389
390 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
391 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
392 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
393 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
394
395 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
396
397 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
398
399 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
400 the defaults discussed just above.
401
6705d81e 402- Serial Ports:
48d0192f 403 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
6705d81e
WD
404
405 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
406
48d0192f 407 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
6705d81e
WD
408
409 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
410
411 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
412
413 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
414 the clock speed of the UARTs.
415
416 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
417
418 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
419 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
420 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
421
422
c609719b 423- Console Interface:
43d9616c
WD
424 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
425 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
426 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
427 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
c609719b
WD
428
429 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
430 port routines must be defined elsewhere
431 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
432
433 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
434 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
435 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042, board/eltec/bab7xx)

487- Console Rx buffer length
488 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
489 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
2b3f12c2 490 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
c92fac91
HS
491 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
492 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
493 the SMC.
494
c609719b
WD
495- Interrupt driven serial port input:
496 CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
497
498 PPC405GP only.
499 Use an interrupt handler for receiving data on the
500 serial port. It also enables using hardware handshake
501 (RTS/CTS) and UART's built-in FIFO. Set the number of
502 bytes the interrupt driven input buffer should have.
503
109c0e3a
WD
504 Leave undefined to disable this feature, including
505 disable the buffer and hardware handshake.
c609719b 506
1d49b1f3
SR
507- Console UART Number:
508 CONFIG_UART1_CONSOLE
509
0c8721a4 510 AMCC PPC4xx only.
1d49b1f3
SR
511 If defined internal UART1 (and not UART0) is used
512 as default U-Boot console.
513
c609719b
WD
514- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
515 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
516 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
517
518 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
519 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
520 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
521 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
522 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
523 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
524 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR

526 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
527 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
528 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
529 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
530
531- Autoboot Command:
532 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
533 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
534 define a command string that is automatically executed
535 when no character is read on the console interface
536 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
537
538 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
43d9616c
WD
539 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
540 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
541 environment value "bootargs".
c609719b
WD
542
543 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c
WD
544 The value of these goes into the environment as
545 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
546 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 547 RAM and NFS.
c609719b
WD
548
549- Pre-Boot Commands:
550 CONFIG_PREBOOT
551
552 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
553 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
554 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
555 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
556 entering interactive mode.
557
558 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
559 automatically generated or modified. For an example
560 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
561 modified when the user holds down a certain
562 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
563 booting the systems
564
565- Serial Download Echo Mode:
566 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
567 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
568 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
569 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
570 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
571 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
572 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
573
602ad3b3 574- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
c609719b

666
667 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 668 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
669 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
670 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
671 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
672 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
673 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
674 initial stack and some data.

675
676
677 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
678
679- Watchdog:
680 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
681 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
7152b1d0 682 support. There must be support in the platform specific
c609719b

859- USB Device:
860 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
861 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
862 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
11ccc33f 863 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
16c8d5e7
WD
864 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
865 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
386eda02 866 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
16c8d5e7
WD
867 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
868 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
869 a Linux host by
870 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
871 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
872 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
873 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
386eda02 874

386eda02 895 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
16c8d5e7 896 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
386eda02 897 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
16c8d5e7
WD
898 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
899 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
900 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
901
902 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
903 Define this string as the name of your company for

71f95118 922- MMC Support:
8bde7f77
WD
923 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
924 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
925 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
71f95118 926 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
602ad3b3

948- Keyboard Support:
949 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
950
951 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
952 support
953
954 CONFIG_I8042_KBD
955 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
956 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
957 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
958 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.

7152b1d0 1060- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1061
8bde7f77
WD
1062 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1063 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1064 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1065 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1066 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1067 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1068 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1069 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1070
98f4a3df
SR
1071- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1072
1073 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1074 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1075 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1076
c29fdfc1
WD
1077- Compression support:
1078 CONFIG_BZIP2
1079
1080 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1081 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1082 compressed images are supported.
1083
42d1f039 1084 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1085 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1086 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1087
fc9c1727
LCM
1088 CONFIG_LZMA
1089
1090 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1091 images is included.
1092
1093 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1094 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1095 formula:
1096
1097 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1098
1099 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1100 and Literal pos bits.
1101
1102 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1103 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1104 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1105 a very small buffer.
1106
1107 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1108 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1109 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
fc9c1727 1110
17ea1177

1111- MII/PHY support:
1112 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1113
1114 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1115
1116 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1117
1118 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1119
1120 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1121
1122 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1123 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1124
1125 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1126
1127 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1128 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1129 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1130 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1131
1132 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1133
1134 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1135 command issued before MII status register can be read

1150 CONFIG_IPADDR
1151
1152 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
11ccc33f 1153 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
c609719b
WD
1154 determined through e.g. bootp.
1155
1156- Server IP address:
1157 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1158

1160 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1161
53a5c424
DU
1162- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1163 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1164
1165 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1166 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 1167 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
53a5c424
DU
1168 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1169 multicast group.
1170
1171 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
c609719b
WD
1172- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1173 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1174
1175 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1176 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1177 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1178 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1179 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1180 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1181 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1182 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1183 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1184
1185 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1186 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1187 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1188 4th and following
1189 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1190
fe389a82 1191- DHCP Advanced Options:
1fe80d79
JL
1192 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1193 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1194
1195 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1196 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1197 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1198 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1199 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1200 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1201 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1202 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1203 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1204 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1205 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1206 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
fe389a82 1207
5d110f0a
WC
1208 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1209 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82
SR
1210
1211 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1212 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1213 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1214 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1215 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1216 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1217 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 1218 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
1219
1220 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1221 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1222 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 1223 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
1224 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1225 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 1226
d9a2f416
AV
1227 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1228
1229 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1230 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1231 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1232 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1233 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1234 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1235 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1236 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1237 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1238 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1239 this delay.
1240
a3d991bd 1241 - CDP Options:
6e592385 1242 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
a3d991bd
WD
1243
1244 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1245
1246 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1247
1248 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1249 of the device.
1250
1251 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1252
1253 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1254 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
11ccc33f 1255 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
a3d991bd
WD
1256
1257 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1258
1259 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1260 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1261
1262 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1263
1264 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1265
1266 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1267
1268 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1269
1270 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1271
1272 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1273
1274 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1275
1276 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1277 device in .1 of milliwatts.
1278
1279 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1280
1281 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1282
c609719b
WD
1283- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1284
1285 Several configurations allow to display the current
1286 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1287 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1288 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1289 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1290 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1291 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1292 feature in U-Boot.
1293
1294- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1295
1296 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1297 on those systems that support this (optional)
1298 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1299
1300- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1301
b37c7e5e 1302 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
945af8d7 1303 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
11ccc33f 1304 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
c609719b 1305
945af8d7 1306 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 1307 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
1308 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1309 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 1310 command line interface.
c609719b 1311
bb99ad6d
BW
1312 CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE is a recommended option that places
1313 all I2C commands under a single 'i2c' root command. The
1314 older 'imm', 'imd', 'iprobe' etc. commands are considered
1315 deprecated and may disappear in the future.
1316
1317 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 1318
945af8d7 1319 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
b37c7e5e
WD
1320 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1321 support for I2C.
c609719b 1322
945af8d7 1323 There are several other quantities that must also be
b37c7e5e 1324 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
c609719b 1325
6d0f6bcf 1326 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 1327 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 1328 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 1329 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 1330
b37c7e5e 1331 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
11ccc33f 1332 sets the CPU up as a master node and so its address should
b37c7e5e 1333 therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual
6d0f6bcf 1334 p.16-473). So, set CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 1335
945af8d7 1336 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 1337
b37c7e5e
WD
1338 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1339 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1340 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
1341
1342 I2C_INIT
1343
b37c7e5e 1344 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 1345 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 1346
ba56f625 1347 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 1348
c609719b
WD
1349 I2C_PORT
1350
43d9616c
WD
1351 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1352 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1353 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b

1355 I2C_ACTIVE
1356
1357 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1358 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1359 define can be null.

WD
1363 I2C_TRISTATE
1364
1365 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1366 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1367 define can be null.
1368
b37c7e5e

1371 I2C_READ
1372
1373 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1374 FALSE if it is low.

WD
1378 I2C_SDA(bit)
1379
1380 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1381 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1382
b37c7e5e 1383 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \

1387 I2C_SCL(bit)
1388
1389 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1390 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1391
b37c7e5e 1392 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 1393 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \

1396 I2C_DELAY
1397
1398 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1399 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 1400 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something

6d0f6bcf 1405 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 1406
8bde7f77
WD
1407 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1408 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1409 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1410 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1411 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1412 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1413 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1414 is run early in the boot sequence.

1422 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1423
1424 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
1425 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1426 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
1427 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1428
6d0f6bcf 1429 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
1430
1431 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
1432 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued (or 'iprobe' using the legacy
1433 command). If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS is set, specify a list of bus-device
218ca724 1434 pairs. Otherwise, specify a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d
BW
1435
1436 e.g.

6d0f6bcf 1438 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d

1446
6d0f6bcf 1447 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
1448
1449 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1450 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1451
6d0f6bcf 1452 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
1453
1454 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.

1456
6d0f6bcf 1457 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
1458
1459 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
1460 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
1461
6d0f6bcf 1462 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
1463
1464 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.

1468 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
1469
1470 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in

be5e6181 1472
67b23a32

1473 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
1474
1475 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
1476 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
1477 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
1478 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
1479 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
1480 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
1481
1482 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
1483 feature!
1484
1485 Example:
1486 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
1487 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
1488 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
1489
1490 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
1491
1492 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
1493 of I2C Busses with muxes:
1494
1495 => i2c bus
1496 Busses reached over muxes:
1497 Bus ID: 2
1498 reached over Mux(es):
1499 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
1500 Bus ID: 3
1501 reached over Mux(es):
1502 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
1503 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
1504 =>
1505
1506 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
1507 u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable
1508 channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable
1509 the channel 4.
1510
1511 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
1512 usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind
1513 the 2 muxes.
1514
1515 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
1516 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
1517 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
1518 to add this option to other architectures.
1519

1520 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
1521
1522 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
1523 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
1524 between writing the address pointer and reading the
1525 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
1526 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
1527 devices can use either method, but some require one or
1528 the other.

1541 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
1542
43d9616c
WD
1543 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
1544 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
1545 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
1546 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
1547 defined, the board configuration must define several
1548 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
1549 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

1625- Configuration Management:
1626 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
1627
43d9616c
WD
1628 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
1629 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
1630
1631- Vendor Parameter Protection:
1632
43d9616c
WD
1633 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
1634 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 1635 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
1636 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
1637 protects these variables from casual modification by
1638 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
1639 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 1640 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
1641
1642 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
1643 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 1644 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
1645 these parameters.
1646
1647 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
1648 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 1649 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
1650 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
1651 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
1652 read-only.]
1653
1654- Protected RAM:
1655 CONFIG_PRAM
1656
1657 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
1658 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
1659 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
1660 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
1661 this default value by defining an environment
1662 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
1663 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
1664 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
1665 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
1666 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
1667 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
1668 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
1669
fe126d8b 1670 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
1671 saveenv
1672
1673 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
1674 either, which results in a memory region that will
1675 not be affected by reboots.
1676
1677 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
1678 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
1679 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
1680 following board configurations are known to be
1681 "pRAM-clean":
1682
1683 ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
1684 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
1685 PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260
1686
1687- Error Recovery:
1688 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
1689
1690 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
1691 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
1692 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 1693 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
1694 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
1695 useful during development since you can try to debug
1696 the conditions that lead to the situation.
1697
1698 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
1699
43d9616c
WD
1700 This variable defines the number of retries for
1701 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
1702 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
1703 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 1704
40cb90ee
GL
1705 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
1706
1707 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.

c609719b 1709- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 1710 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
04a85b3b
WD
1711
1712 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
1713
a9398e01
WD
1714 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
1715 for the "hush" shell.
8078f1a5
WD
1716
1717
6d0f6bcf 1718 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
1719
1720 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
1721 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
1722 powerful command line syntax like
1723 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
1724 constructs ("shell scripts").
1725
1726 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
1727 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
1728
1729
6d0f6bcf 1730 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
1731
1732 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
1733 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
1734 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
1735
1736 Note:
1737
8bde7f77
WD
1738 In the current implementation, the local variables
1739 space and global environment variables space are
1740 separated. Local variables are those you define by
1741 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
1742 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
1743 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
1744 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 1745
43d9616c
WD
1746 Global environment variables are those you use
1747 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
1748 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
1749 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
1750
1751 To store commands and special characters in a
1752 variable, please use double quotation marks
1753 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
1754 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
1755 symbols.

c609719b
WD
1764 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
1765
43d9616c
WD
1766 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
1767 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 1768 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 1769
43d9616c
WD
1770 For example, place something like this in your
1771 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
1772
1773 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
1774 "myvar1=value1\0" \
1775 "myvar2=value2\0"
1776
43d9616c
WD
1777 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
1778 internal format how the environment is stored by the
1779 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
1780 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 1781 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
1782 You better know what you are doing here.
1783
43d9616c
WD
1784 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
1785 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
1786 the environment like the autoscript function or the
1787 boot command first.

a8c7c708 1789- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
1790 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
1791
8bde7f77
WD
1792 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
1793 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
1794 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 1795
3f85ce27
WD
1796- SystemACE Support:
1797 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
1798
1799 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
1800 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 1801 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 1802 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
1803
1804 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 1805 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
1806
1807 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type

1810- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
1811 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
1812
28cb9375 1813 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 1814 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 1815 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
1816 number generator is used.
1817
28cb9375
WD
1818 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
1819 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
1820 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
1821
1822 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
1823 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
1824 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
1825 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
1826 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
1827 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
1828 but sometimes that is not allowed.

2004
85ec0bcc 2005[so far only for SMDK2400 and TRAB boards]
c609719b 2006
11ccc33f 2007- Modem support enable:

WD
2008 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
2009
2010- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:

2017 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
c609719b 2018
a8c7c708
WD
2019- Interrupt support (PPC):
2020
d4ca31c4
WD
2021 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2022 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 2023 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 2024 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 2025 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 2026 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 2027 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
2028 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2029 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2030 general timer_interrupt().
a8c7c708 2031
c609719b
WD
2032- General:
2033
43d9616c
WD
2034 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2035 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2036 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
11ccc33f 2037 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
2038 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2039 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2040 initialization.
c609719b 2041
43d9616c
WD
2042 If there are no modem init strings in the
2043 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2044 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
11ccc33f 2045 suppressed, though.

6d0f6bcf 2059- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
c609719b
WD
2060 prompt for user input.
2061
6d0f6bcf 2062- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
c609719b 2063
6d0f6bcf 2064- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output

2070 booted
2071
6d0f6bcf 2072- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b
WD
2073 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
2074
6d0f6bcf 2075- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 2076 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 2077
6d0f6bcf 2078- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
2079 If the board specific function
2080 extern int overwrite_console (void);
2081 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
2082 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.

8bde7f77 2085 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 2086

WD
2091 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
2092 simple memory test.
2093
6d0f6bcf 2094- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:

2099 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
2100

JCPV
2101- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
2102 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 2103 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 2104 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
2105 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2106 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2107 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 2108 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 2109 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 2110 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
2111
2112 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2113 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2114 be touched.
2115
2116 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2117 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2118 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2119 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
2120 problems.

2147 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
2148 flash sector.
c609719b 2149
6d0f6bcf 2150- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
2151 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
2152
6d0f6bcf 2153- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
2154 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2155 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 2156 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a

2161 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
2162 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
2163 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"

2188 instead of U-Boot software protection.
2189
6d0f6bcf 2190- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
2191
2192 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2193 without this option such a download has to be
2194 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2195 copy from RAM to flash.
2196
2197 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2198 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
2199 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2200 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
2201 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2202
6d0f6bcf 2203- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

2205 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
2206
00b1883a 2207- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER

2209 in the drivers directory
c609719b 2210
91809ed5
PZ
2211- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
2212 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
2213 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
2214 to the MTD layer.
2215
6d0f6bcf 2216- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
2217 Use buffered writes to flash.
2218

2222
6d0f6bcf 2223- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
2224 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
2225 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
2226 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
2227 optionally available.

JVB
2229- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
2230 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
2231 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
2232 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
2233
6d0f6bcf 2234- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
2235 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
2236 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
2237 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
2238 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 2239 on high Ethernet traffic.
53cf9435

2240 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
2241
c609719b
WD
2242The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
2243of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
2244following configurations:
2245
5a1aceb0 2246- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
2247
2248 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
2249
2250 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
2251 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
2252 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
2253 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
2254 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
2255 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
2256 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
2257 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
2258 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
2259 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
2260 between U-Boot and the environment.
2261
0e8d1586 2262 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
2263
2264 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
2265 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
2266 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
2267 for this sector is given here.
2268
6d0f6bcf 2269 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 2270
0e8d1586 2271 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
2272
2273 This is just another way to specify the start address of
2274 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 2275 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 2276
0e8d1586 2277 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
2278
2279 Size of the sector containing the environment.
2280
2281
2282 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
2283 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
2284 the environment.
2285
0e8d1586 2286 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 2287
5a1aceb0 2288 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 2289 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
2290 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
2291 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
2292
2293 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
2294 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
2295 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
2296 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
2297 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
2298 updating the environment in flash makes it always
2299 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
2300 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
2301 RAM, your target system will be dead.
2302
0e8d1586
JCPV
2303 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
2304 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
c609719b 2305
43d9616c 2306 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 2307 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 2308 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 2309 a "saveenv" operation.
c609719b
WD
2310
2311BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
2312source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
2313accordingly!
2314
2315
9314cee6 2316- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD
2317
2318 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
2319 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
2320 environment.
2321
0e8d1586
JCPV
2322 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
2323 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 2324
11ccc33f 2325 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
2326 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
2327 can just be read and written to, without any special
2328 provision.
2329
2330BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
2331in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 2332console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
2333U-Boot will hang.
2334
2335Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
2336environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
2337keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
2338to save the current settings.
2339
2340
bb1f8b4f 2341- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
c609719b
WD
2342
2343 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
2344 device and a driver for it.
2345
0e8d1586
JCPV
2346 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2347 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
2348
2349 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
2350 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
2351
6d0f6bcf 2352 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
2353 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
2354 The default address is zero.
2355
6d0f6bcf 2356 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
2357 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
2358 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
2359 would require six bits.
2360
6d0f6bcf 2361 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 2362 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
ba56f625 2363 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
c609719b 2364
6d0f6bcf 2365 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
2366 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
2367 that this is NOT the chip address length!
2368
6d0f6bcf 2369 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
2370 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
2371 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
2372 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
2373 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
2374 byte chips.
2375
2376 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
2377 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
2378 in the chip address.
2379
6d0f6bcf 2380 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
2381 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
2382
c609719b 2383
057c849c 2384- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
5779d8d9 2385
d4ca31c4 2386 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
5779d8d9
WD
2387 want to use for the environment.
2388
0e8d1586
JCPV
2389 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2390 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
2391 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
5779d8d9
WD
2392
2393 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
2394 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
2395 at the specified address.
2396
51bfee19 2397- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
13a5695b
WD
2398
2399 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
2400 for the environment.
2401
0e8d1586
JCPV
2402 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2403 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
13a5695b
WD
2404
2405 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
2406 area within the first NAND device.
5779d8d9 2407
0e8d1586 2408 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND
e443c944 2409
0e8d1586 2410 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
e443c944
MK
2411 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data,
2412 so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a
2413 power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
2414
0e8d1586
JCPV
2415 Note: CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be aligned
2416 to a block boundary, and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple of
e443c944
MK
2417 the NAND devices block size.
2418
6d0f6bcf 2419- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
2420
2421 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
2422 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
2423 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
2424 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
2425 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
2426 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
2427 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
2428
e881cb56 2429Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b
WD
2430has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
2431created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r()
2432until then to read environment variables.
2433
85ec0bcc
WD
2434The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
2435is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
2436with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
2437necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
2438"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
2439have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
2440
2441Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
2442the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 2443use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 2444
6d0f6bcf 2445- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
42d1f039 2446 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
fc3e2165 2447
6d0f6bcf 2448 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
fc3e2165
WD
2449 also needs to be defined.
2450
6d0f6bcf 2451- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
42d1f039 2452 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.

7f6c2cbc 2485
43d9616c
WD
2486 defines the offset of register from address. It
2487 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
11ccc33f 2488 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
7f6c2cbc 2489
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
2490 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and

43d9616c 2492 default value.
7f6c2cbc 2493
6d0f6bcf 2494 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
43d9616c
WD
2495 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
2496 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
2497 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
2498 initializations.
7f6c2cbc 2499
6d0f6bcf 2500- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.

c609719b 2505
7152b1d0 2506 Start address of memory area that can be used for
c609719b
WD
2507 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
2508 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
2509 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
2510 will become available only after programming the
2511 memory controller and running certain initialization
2512 sequences.
2513
2514 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
2515 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
2516 - MPC824X: data cache

2521 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
2522 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
2523 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
c609719b 2524 data is located at the end of the available space
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
2525 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_END -

2530 Note:
2531 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
2532 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
6d0f6bcf 2533 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
c609719b

2687Building the Software:
2688======================
2689
218ca724
WD
2690Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
2691and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
2692all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
2693(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
2694recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
2695which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 2696
218ca724
WD
2697If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
2698have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
2699you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
2700Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
2701necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 2702
218ca724
WD
2703 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
2704 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 2705
218ca724
WD
2706U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
2707sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
2708is done by typing:
2709
2710 make NAME_config
2711
218ca724
WD
2712where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
2713rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
db01a2ea 2714
2729af9d
WD
2715Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
2716 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
2717 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
2718 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 2719 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
2720
2721 make TQM823L_config
2722 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
2723
2724 make TQM823L_LCD_config
2725 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
2726
2727 etc.
2728
2729
2730Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
2731images ready for download to / installation on your system:
2732
2733- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
2734- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
2735- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
2736
baf31249
MB
2737By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
2738in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
2739this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
2740
27411. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
2742
2743 make O=/tmp/build distclean
2744 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
2745 make O=/tmp/build all
2746
27472. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
2748
2749 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
2750 make distclean
2751 make NAME_config
2752 make all
2753
2754Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
2755variable.
2756
2729af9d
WD
2757
2758Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
2759for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
2760native "make".
2761
2762
2763If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
2764to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
2765steps:
2766
27671. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
2768 "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
2769 entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
2770 boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
2771 keep this order.
27722. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
2773 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
2774 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
27753. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
2776 your board
27773. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
2778 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
27794. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
27805. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
2781 to be installed on your target system.
27826. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
2783 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
2784
2785
2786Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
2787==============================================================
2788
218ca724
WD
2789If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
2790or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
2791provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
2792the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 2793official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 2794
218ca724
WD
2795But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
2796cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
2797the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
2798just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
2799for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
2800select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
2801environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
2802you can type
2729af9d
WD
2803
2804 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
2805
2806or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
2807
2808 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
2809
218ca724
WD
2810When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
2811U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
2812setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
2813built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
2814<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
2815location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
2816variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
2817
2818 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
2819 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
2820 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
2821
218ca724
WD
2822With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
2823log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
2824during the whole build process.

2890
2891Environment Variables:
2892======================
2893
2894U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
2895can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 2896
2729af9d
WD
2897Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
2898"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
2899without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
2900environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
2901working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
2902environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 2903
2729af9d 2904Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables:
c609719b 2905
2729af9d 2906 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
c609719b 2907
2729af9d 2908 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
c609719b 2909
2729af9d 2910 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 2911
2729af9d 2912 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 2913
2729af9d 2914 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 2915
7d721e34
BS
2916 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
2917 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
2918 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
2919 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
2920 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
2921 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
6d0f6bcf 2922 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.
7d721e34
BS
2923
2924 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
2925 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
2926 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
2927 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
2928 environment variable.
2929
4bae9090
BS
2930 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
2931 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
2932 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
2933
2729af9d
WD
2934 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
2935 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
2936 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
2937 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 2938
3310c549
MB
2939 autoscript - if set to "yes" commands like "loadb", "loady",
2940 "bootp", "tftpb", "rarpboot" and "nfs" will attempt
2941 to automatically run script images (by internally
2942 calling "autoscript").
2943
2944 autoscript_uname - if script image is in a format (FIT) this
2945 variable is used to get script subimage unit name.
2946
2729af9d
WD
2947 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
2948 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
2949 be automatically started (by internally calling
2950 "bootm")
38b99261 2951
2729af9d
WD
2952 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
2953 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
2954 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
2955 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
2956 data.
c609719b 2957
17ea1177
WD
2958 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2959 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
2960 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
2961 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
2962 it must be saved and board must be reset.
2963
2729af9d
WD
2964 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
2965 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
2966 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
2967 is usually what you want since it allows for
2968 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
2969 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 2970 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
2971 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
2972 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
2973 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
2974 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 2975
2729af9d
WD
2976 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
2977 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
2978 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
2979 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
2980 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
2981 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 2982
2729af9d 2983 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 2984
2729af9d
WD
2985 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
2986 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
2987 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
2988 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
2989 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
2990 boot time on your system, but requires that this
2991 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 2992
2729af9d 2993 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 2994
2729af9d
WD

c609719b 3014
2729af9d
WD
3015 => setenv ethact FEC ETHERNET
3016 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC ETHERNET
3017 => setenv ethact SCC ETHERNET
3018 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC ETHERNET

3020 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
3021 available network interfaces.
3022 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
3023
2729af9d
WD
3024 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
3025 either succeed or fail without retrying.
3026 When set to "once" the network operation will
3027 fail when all the available network interfaces
3028 are tried once without success.
3029 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
3030 themselves.
c609719b 3031
b4e2f89d 3032 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 3033
28cb9375 3034 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
3035 UDP source port.
3036
28cb9375
WD
3037 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
3038 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
3039
2729af9d 3040 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 3041 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 3042 VLAN tagged frames.

WD
3044The following environment variables may be used and automatically
3045updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
3046depending the information provided by your boot server:
c609719b 3047
2729af9d
WD
3048 bootfile - see above
3049 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
3050 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
3051 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
3052 hostname - Target hostname
3053 ipaddr - see above
3054 netmask - Subnet Mask
3055 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
3056 serverip - see above
c1551ea8 3057
c1551ea8 3058
2729af9d 3059There are two special Environment Variables:
c1551ea8 3060
2729af9d
WD
3061 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
3062 as type string and/or serial number
3063 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 3064
2729af9d
WD
3065These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
3066the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
3067once they have been set once.
c609719b 3068
f07771cc 3069
2729af9d 3070Further special Environment Variables:
f07771cc 3071
2729af9d
WD
3072 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
3073 with the "version" command. This variable is
3074 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
f07771cc 3075
f07771cc 3076
2729af9d
WD
3077Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
3078only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

3081Command Line Parsing:
3082=====================
f07771cc 3083
2729af9d
WD
3084There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
3085the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 3086
2729af9d
WD
3087Old, simple command line parser:
3088--------------------------------
c609719b 3089
2729af9d
WD
3090- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
3091- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 3092- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
3093- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
3094 for example:
fe126d8b 3095 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
3096- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
3097 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 3098
2729af9d
WD
3099Hush shell:
3100-----------
c609719b 3101
2729af9d
WD
3102- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
3103 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
3104 until...do...done, ...
3105- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
3106 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
3107 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
3108 command
3109
3110General rules:
3111--------------
c609719b 3112
2729af9d
WD
3113(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
3114 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
3115 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
3116 executed anyway.
c609719b 3117
2729af9d 3118(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 3119 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
3120 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
3121 variables are not executed.
c609719b 3122

WD
3123Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
3124=======================================
c609719b 3125
11ccc33f 3126Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
3127such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
3128"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 3129
2729af9d
WD
3130Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
3131MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
3132"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 3133
2729af9d
WD
3134If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
3135in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
3136ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
3137variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 3138
2729af9d
WD
3139o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
3140 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 3141
2729af9d
WD
3142o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
3143 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
3144 used.
c609719b 3145
2729af9d
WD
3146o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
3147 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 3148
2729af9d
WD
3149o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
3150 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
3151 warning is printed.
c609719b 3152
2729af9d
WD
3153o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
3154 is raised.

3157Image Formats:
3158==============
c609719b 3159
3310c549
MB
3160U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
3161images in two formats:
3162
3163New uImage format (FIT)
3164-----------------------
3165
3166Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
3167to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
3168components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
3169SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
3170
3171
3172Old uImage format
3173-----------------
3174
3175Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
3176preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
3177details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
c609719b 3178
2729af9d
WD
3179* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
3180 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
f5ed9e39
PT
3181 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
3182 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
3183 INTEGRITY).
7b64fef3 3184* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
2729af9d 3185 IA64, MIPS, NIOS, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
7b64fef3 3186 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NIOS, PowerPC).
2729af9d
WD
3187* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
3188* Load Address
3189* Entry Point
3190* Image Name
3191* Image Timestamp
c609719b 3192
2729af9d
WD
3193The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
3194and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
3195CRC32 checksums.

2729af9d

3198Linux Support:
3199==============
c609719b 3200
2729af9d
WD
3201Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
3202easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
3203U-Boot.
c609719b 3204
2729af9d
WD
3205U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
3206special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
3207"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
3208instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
3209serves several purposes:
c609719b 3210
2729af9d
WD
3211- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
3212 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
3213 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 3214
2729af9d
WD
3215- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
3216 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 3217
2729af9d
WD
3218- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
3219 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
3220 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
3221 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
3222 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
3223 software is easier now.

3226Linux HOWTO:
3227============
c609719b 3228
2729af9d
WD
3229Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
3230---------------------------------------
c609719b 3231
2729af9d
WD
3232U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
3233configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
3234(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
3235Linux :-).
c609719b 3236
2729af9d 3237But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 3238
2729af9d
WD
3239Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
3240include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
3241Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
3242and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 3243as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 3244
c609719b 3245
2729af9d
WD
3246Configuring the Linux kernel:
3247-----------------------------
c609719b 3248
2729af9d
WD
3249No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
3250device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
3251
3252
3253Building a Linux Image:
3254-----------------------
c609719b 3255
2729af9d
WD
3256With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
3257not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
3258"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
3259U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
3260which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
3261100% compatible format.
3262
3263Example:
3264
3265 make TQM850L_config
3266 make oldconfig
3267 make dep
3268 make uImage
3269
3270The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
3271encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
3272CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
3273
3274* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
3275
3276* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
3277
3278 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
3279 -R .note -R .comment \
3280 -S vmlinux linux.bin
3281
3282* compress the binary image:
3283
3284 gzip -9 linux.bin
3285
3286* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
3287
3288 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
3289 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
3290 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 3291
c609719b 3292
2729af9d
WD
3293The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
3294with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
3295combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
3296byte header containing information about target architecture,
3297operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
3298stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
3299
3300"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
3301print the header information, or to build new images.
3302
3303In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
3304contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
3305checksum verification:
c609719b 3306
2729af9d
WD
3307 tools/mkimage -l image
3308 -l ==> list image header information
3309
3310The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
3311from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
3312
3313 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
3314 -n name -d data_file image
3315 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
3316 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
3317 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
3318 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
3319 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
3320 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
3321 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
3322 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
3323
69459791
WD
3324Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
3325address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
3326kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
3327
3328- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
3329- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
3330
3331So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
3332
3333 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
3334 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
3335 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
3336 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
3337 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
3338 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
3339 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
3340 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
3341 Load Address: 0x00000000
3342 Entry Point: 0x00000000
3343
3344To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
3345
3346 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
3347 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
3348 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
3349 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
3350 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
3351 Load Address: 0x00000000
3352 Entry Point: 0x00000000
3353
3354NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
3355speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
3356needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
3357need to be uncompressed:
3358
3359 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
3360 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
3361 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
3362 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux \
3363 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
3364 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
3365 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
3366 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
3367 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
3368 Load Address: 0x00000000
3369 Entry Point: 0x00000000
3370
3371
3372Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
3373when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
3374
3375 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
3376 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
3377 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
3378 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
3379 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
3380 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
3381 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
3382 Load Address: 0x00000000
3383 Entry Point: 0x00000000
3384
3385
3386Installing a Linux Image:
3387-------------------------
3388
3389To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
3390you must convert the image to S-Record format:
3391
3392 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
3393
3394The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
3395image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
3396address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
3397specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
3398command.
3399
3400Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
3401TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
3402
3403 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
3404
3405 .......... done
3406 Erased 8 sectors
3407
3408 => loads 40100000
3409 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
3410 ~>examples/image.srec
3411 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...

3414 [file transfer complete]
3415 [connected]
3416 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
3417
3418
3419You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
218ca724 3420this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
2729af9d
WD
3421corruption happened:
3422
3423 => imi 40100000
3424
3425 ## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
3426 Image Name: 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
3427 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
3428 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB
3429 Load Address: 00000000
3430 Entry Point: 0000000c
3431 Verifying Checksum ... OK
3432
3433
3434Boot Linux:
3435-----------
3436
3437The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
3438memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
3439of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as

3520First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section

3566More About U-Boot Image Types:
3567------------------------------
3568
3569U-Boot supports the following image types:
3570
3571 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
3572 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
3573 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
3574 the Standalone Program.
3575 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
3576 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
3577 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
3578 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
3579 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
3580 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
3581 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
3582 being started.
3583 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
3584 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
3585 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
3586 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
3587 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
3588 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
3589
3590 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
3591 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
3592 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
3593 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
3594 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
3595 a multiple of 4 bytes).
3596
3597 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
3598 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
3599 flash memory.
3600
3601 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
3602 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
3603 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
3604 as command interpreter.
3605
3606
3607Standalone HOWTO:
3608=================
3609
3610One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
3611run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
3612U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
3613
3614Two simple examples are included with the sources:
3615
3616"Hello World" Demo:
3617-------------------
3618
3619'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
3620application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
3621It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
3622like that:
3623
3624 => loads
3625 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
3626 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
3627 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
3628 [file transfer complete]
3629 [connected]
3630 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
3631
3632 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
3633 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
3634 Hello World
3635 argc = 7
3636 argv[0] = "40004"
3637 argv[1] = "Hello"
3638 argv[2] = "World!"
3639 argv[3] = "This"
3640 argv[4] = "is"
3641 argv[5] = "a"
3642 argv[6] = "test."
3643 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
3644 Hit any key to exit ...
3645
3646 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
3647
3648Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
3649handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
3650Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
3651The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
3652character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
3653controlled by the following keys:
3654
3655 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
3656 b - enable interrupts and start timer
3657 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
3658 q - quit application
3659
3660 => loads
3661 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
3662 ~>examples/timer.srec
3663 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...

3666 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004

3695Minicom warning:
3696================
3697
3698Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
3699"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
3700consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
3701Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
3702especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
3703use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).
3704
3705Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
3706configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
3707
3708 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
3709 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
3710 Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
3711
3712
3713NetBSD Notes:
3714=============
3715
3716Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
3717(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
3718
3719Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
3720NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
3721need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
3722Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
3723attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
3724missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
3725
3726 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
3727 # mkdir powerpc
3728 # ln -s powerpc machine
3729 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
3730 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
3731
3732Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
3733and U-Boot include files.
3734
3735Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
3736stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
3737proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
3738tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 3739meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

3742Implementation Internals:
3743=========================
3744
3745The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
3746implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
3747inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
3748hardware.
3749
3750
3751Initial Stack, Global Data:
3752---------------------------
3753
3754The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
3755starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
3756system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
3757This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
3758is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
3759at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
3760options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
3761models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
3762MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
3763locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
3764
218ca724 3765 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 3766 U-Boot mailing list:

3771 ...
3772
3773 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
3774 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
3775 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
3776 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
3777 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 3778 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
3779 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
3780 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
3781
3782 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
3783 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 3784 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
3785 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
3786 board designers haven't used it for something that would
3787 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
3788 used.
3789
6d0f6bcf 3790 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
3791 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
3792 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 3793 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
3794 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
3795 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
3796 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
3797 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
3798 you get the config right.

3802
3803It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
3804code for the initialization procedures:
3805
3806* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
3807 to write it.
3808
11ccc33f 3809* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
3810 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
3811 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
3812
3813* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
3814 that.
3815
3816Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
3817normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
3818turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
3819simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
3820functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
3821functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
3822the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
3823place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
3824reserve for this purpose.
3825
3826When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
3827relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
3828GCC's implementation.
3829
3830For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
3831 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 3832 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
3833 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
3834 R5-R10: parameter passing
3835 R13: small data area pointer
3836 R30: GOT pointer
3837 R31: frame pointer
3838
3839 (U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.)
3840
e7670f6c 3841 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
3842
3843 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
3844 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
3845 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
3846 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
3847 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
3848 624 text + 127 data).

3850On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P5) is followed as documented here:
3851 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
3852
3853 ==> U-Boot will use P5 to hold a pointer to the global data
3854
2729af9d
WD
3855On ARM, the following registers are used:
3856
3857 R0: function argument word/integer result
3858 R1-R3: function argument word
3859 R9: GOT pointer
3860 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
3861 R11: argument (frame) pointer
3862 R12: temporary workspace
3863 R13: stack pointer
3864 R14: link register
3865 R15: program counter
3866
3867 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
3868
d87080b7

3869NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
3870or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

3872Memory Management:
3873------------------
3874
3875U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
3876MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
3877
3878The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
3879controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
3880memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
3881physical memory banks.
3882
3883U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
3884TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
3885booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
3886to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 3887memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
3888configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
3889Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
3890
3891Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
3892of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
3893
3894So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
3895this:
3896
3897 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
3898 :
3899 0x0000 1FFF
3900 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
3901 :
3902 :
3903
3904 :
3905 :
3906 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
3907 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
3908 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
3909 :
3910 0x00FD FFFF
3911 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
3912 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
3913 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
3914 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
3915
3916
3917System Initialization:
3918----------------------
c609719b 3919
2729af9d 3920In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 3921(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
3922configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
3923To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
3924To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
3925initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
3926which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
3927part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
3928the caches and the SIU.
3929
3930Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
3931preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
3932(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
3933on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
3934programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
3935simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
3936banks.
3937
3938When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
3939different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
3940bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
39410x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
3942contiguous memory starting from 0.
3943
3944Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
3945and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
3946Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
3947pages, and the final stack is set up.
3948
3949Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
3950until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
3951running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
3952new address in RAM.

4017Coding Standards:
4018-----------------
c609719b 4019
2729af9d 4020All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
2c051651
DZ
4021coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
4022"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. In sources
4023originating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding
4024spaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used.
4025
4026Source files originating from a different project (for example the
4027MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
4028reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
4029sources.
4030
4031Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
4032Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
4033in your code.
c609719b 4034
2729af9d
WD
4035Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
4036- remove any trailing white space
4037- use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
4038- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
4039- do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
4040- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
180d3f74 4041
2729af9d
WD
4042Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
4043with a request to reformat the changes.

c609719b 4048
2729af9d
WD
4049Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
4050establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
4051may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
c609719b 4052
0d28f34b 4053Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
218ca724 4054
0668236b
WD
4055Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;

4058When you send a patch, please include the following information with
4059it:
c609719b 4060
2729af9d
WD
4061* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
4062 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
4063 patch actually fixes something.
c609719b 4064
2729af9d
WD
4065* For new features: a description of the feature and your
4066 implementation.
c609719b 4067
2729af9d 4068* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
c609719b 4069
2729af9d 4070* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
c609719b 4071
2729af9d
WD
4072* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
4073 board to the MAKEALL script, too.
c609719b 4074
2729af9d
WD
4075* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
4076 document these in the README file.
c609719b 4077
218ca724
WD
4078* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
4079 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
4080 "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to
4081 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
4082 with some other mail clients.
4083
4084 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
4085 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
4086 GNU diff.
c609719b 4087
218ca724
WD
4088 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
4089 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
4090 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
4091 affected files).
6dff5529 4092

4093 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
4094 and compressed attachments must not be used.
c609719b 4095
2729af9d
WD
4096* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
4097 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
52f52c14 4098
2729af9d
WD
4099* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
4100 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

2729af9d 4103Notes:
c609719b 4104
2729af9d
WD
4105* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
4106 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
4107 for any of the boards.
c609719b 4108
2729af9d
WD
4109* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
4110 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
4111 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
c609719b 4112
2729af9d
WD
4113* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
4114 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
4115 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
4116 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
4117 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
4118 modification.

4120* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
4121 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
4122 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
4123 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
