24ee89b9 11This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
e86e5a07
WD
12Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
c609719b
WD
16
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
24ee89b9
WD
18the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
c609719b
WD
20support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.
28
29
30Status:
31=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
24ee89b9 34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
c609719b
WD
35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
36
24ee89b9 37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
27af930e 38who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board
218ca724 39maintainers.

227Software Configuration:
228=======================
229
230Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
232
233There are two classes of configuration variables:
234
235* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
237 "CONFIG_".
238
239* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 242 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
243
244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
248as an example here.
249
250
251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252---------------------------------------------------
253
254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
260 make TQM823L_config
261
11ccc33f 262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
c609719b
WD
263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
265
266

SG
267Sandbox Environment:
268--------------------
269
270U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
271board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
272specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
273run some of U-Boot's tests.
274
275See board/sandbox/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
276
277
c609719b
WD
278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
7f6c2cbc
WD
289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292
293
c609719b

75d1ea7f 348
ba56f625
WD
349 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
350 of relying on the correctness of the configured
351 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
352 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
353 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 354 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)

359 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
360
66412c63 361- 85xx CPU Options:
ffd06e02
YS
362 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
363
364 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
365 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
366 compliance, among other possible reasons.
367
66412c63
KG
368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
369
370 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
371 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ

380
381 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
382 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
383 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
384 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
385 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
386 purpose.
387
33eee330
SW
388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
389
390 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
391 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
393
394 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
395 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
396
397 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
398 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
399
400 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
401 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
402 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
403 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
404
405 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
406 this erratum.
407

624 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
625 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
626 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
627 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
628 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
629 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
630 Linux kernel.

4cf2609b
WD
839 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
840 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
841 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
842 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
843 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
844 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
845 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 846 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
847 earlier bytes are discarded.

901 cycle, see:
902 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
903
904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
905 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
906 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
907 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
908 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
909 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
910 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
911 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
912 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.

918 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
919 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
920 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
921 entering interactive mode.
922
923 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
924 automatically generated or modified. For an example
925 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
926 modified when the user holds down a certain
927 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
928 booting the systems
929
930- Serial Download Echo Mode:
931 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
932 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
933 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
934 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
935 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
936 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
937 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

1060 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1061 support you can write:
1062

JL
1063 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1064 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
c609719b 1065

WD
1068
1069 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 1070 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
1071 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1072 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1073 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1074 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1075 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1076 initial stack and some data.

1078
1079 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1080
a5ecbe62
WD
1081- Regular expression support:
1082 CONFIG_REGEX
93e14596
WD
1083 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1084 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1085 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1086 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
a5ecbe62 1087
45ba8077
SG
1088- Device tree:
1089 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1090 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1091 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1092 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1093 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1094 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1095
2c0f79e4
SG
1096 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1097 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
1098
1099 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1100 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1101 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1102 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1103 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1104 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 1105
2c0f79e4
SG
1106 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1107 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1108 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1109 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1110
1111 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1112
1113 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1114 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1115 still use the individual files if you need something more
1116 exotic.
1117
c609719b
WD
1118- Watchdog:
1119 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1120 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
1121 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1122 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1123 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1124 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1125 available, then no further board specific code should
1126 be needed to use it.
1127
1128 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1129 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1130 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1131 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
c609719b 1132
c1551ea8
SR
1133- U-Boot Version:
1134 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1135 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1136 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1137 version as printed by the "version" command.
a1ea8e51
BT
1138 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1139 next reset.
c1551ea8 1140
c609719b
WD
1141- Real-Time Clock:
1142
602ad3b3 1143 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
c609719b
WD
1144 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1145 following options:
1146
1147 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1148 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
4e8b7544 1149 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
c609719b 1150 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1cb8e980 1151 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
c609719b 1152 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
7f70e853 1153 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
3bac3513 1154 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
9536dfcc 1155 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
4c0d4c3b 1156 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
6d0f6bcf 1157 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
71d19f30
HS
1158 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1159 RV3029 RTC.
c609719b 1160
b37c7e5e
WD
1161 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1162 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1163
e92739d3
PT
1164- GPIO Support:
1165 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
e92739d3 1166
5dec49ca
CP
1167 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1168 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1169 pins supported by a particular chip.
1170
e92739d3
PT
1171 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1172 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1173
c609719b
WD
1174- Timestamp Support:
1175
43d9616c
WD
1176 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1177 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1178 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 1179 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
c609719b 1180
923c46f9
KP
1181- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1182 Zero or more of the following:
1183 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1184 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1185 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1186 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1187 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1188 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1189 disk/part_efi.c
1190 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
c609719b 1191
218ca724
WD
1192 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1193 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
923c46f9 1194 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
c609719b
WD
1195
1196- IDE Reset method:
4d13cbad
WD
1197 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1198 board configurations files but used nowhere!
c609719b 1199
4d13cbad
WD
1200 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1201 be performed by calling the function
1202 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1203 which has to be defined in a board specific file
c609719b
WD
1204
1205- ATAPI Support:
1206 CONFIG_ATAPI
1207
1208 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1209
c40b2956
WD
1210- LBA48 Support
1211 CONFIG_LBA48
1212
1213 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
4b142feb 1214 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
c40b2956
WD
1215 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1216 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1217
6d0f6bcf 1218 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
c40b2956
WD
1219 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1220 Default is 32bit.
1221
c609719b
WD
1222- SCSI Support:
1223 At the moment only there is only support for the
1224 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1225 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1226
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
1227 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1228 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1229 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
c609719b

1795 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1796 is slow.
676d319e 1797

7152b1d0 1807- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1808
8bde7f77
WD
1809 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1810 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1811 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1812 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1813 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1814 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1815 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1816 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1817
c0880485
NK
1818 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1819
1820 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1821 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1551df35 1822 (see README.displaying-bmps).
c0880485
NK
1823 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1824 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1825 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1826 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1827 there is no need to set this option.
1828
1ca298ce
MW
1829 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1830
1831 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1832 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1833 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1834 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1835 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1836 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1837
1838 Example:
1839 setenv splashpos m,m
1840 => image at center of screen
1841
1842 setenv splashpos 30,20
1843 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1844
1845 setenv splashpos -10,m
1846 => vertically centered image
1847 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

1849- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1850
1851 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1852 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1853 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1854
d5011762
AG
1855- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1856
1857 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1858 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1859 bmp command.
1860
f2b96dfb
LW
1861- Do compresssing for memory range:
1862 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1863
1864 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1865 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1866
c29fdfc1 1867- Compression support:
8ef70478
KC
1868 CONFIG_GZIP
1869
1870 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1871
c29fdfc1
WD
1872 CONFIG_BZIP2
1873
1874 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1875 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1876 compressed images are supported.
1877
42d1f039 1878 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1879 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1880 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1881
fc9c1727
LCM
1882 CONFIG_LZMA
1883
1884 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1885 images is included.
1886
1887 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1888 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1889 formula:
1890
1891 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1892
1893 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1894 and Literal pos bits.
1895
1896 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1897 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1898 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1899 a very small buffer.
1900
1901 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1902 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1903 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
fc9c1727 1904
8ef70478
KC
1905 CONFIG_LZO
1906
1907 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images

1916
1917 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1918
1919 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1920
1921 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1922 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1923
1924 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1925
1926 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1927 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1928 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1929 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1930
1931 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1932
1933 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1934 command issued before MII status register can be read

c609719b
WD
1994- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1995 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1996
1997 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1998 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1999 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2000 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2001 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2002 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2003 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2004 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 2005 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
2006
2007 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2008 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2009 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2010 4th and following
2011 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

2032 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 2033
2c00e099
JH
2034 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2035 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2036 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2037 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2038 is not available.
2039
fe389a82
SR
2040 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2041 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2042 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2043 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2044 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2045 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2046 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 2047 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
2048
2049 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2050 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2051 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 2052 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
2053 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2054 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 2055
d9a2f416
AV
2056 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2057
2058 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2059 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2060 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2061 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2062 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2063 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2064 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2065 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2066 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2067 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2068 this delay.

2070 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2071 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2072 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2073 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2074 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

2120- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2121
2122 Several configurations allow to display the current
2123 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2124 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2125 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2126 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2127 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2128 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2129 feature in U-Boot.
2130
1df7bbba
IG
2131 Additional options:
2132
2133 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2134 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2135 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2136 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2137 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2138
9dfdcdfe
IG
2139 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2140 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2141 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2142 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2143 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2144 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

2153
2154 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2155 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2156 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2157 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See

2265 additional defines:
2266
2267 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2268 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2269 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2270 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2271 omit this define.
2272
2273 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2274 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2275 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2276 omit this define.
2277
2278 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2279 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2280 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2281 define.
2282
2283 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2284 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2285 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2286 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2287 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2288
2289 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \

ea818dbb 2313- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
3f4978c7
HS
2314
2315 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2316 provides the following compelling advantages:
2317
2318 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2319 - approved multibus support
2320 - better i2c mux support
2321
2322 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2323
ea818dbb
HS
2324 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2325 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2326 for the selected CPU.
c609719b 2327
945af8d7 2328 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 2329 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
2330 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2331 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 2332 command line interface.
c609719b 2333
bb99ad6d 2334 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 2335
945af8d7 2336 There are several other quantities that must also be
ea818dbb 2337 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2338
6d0f6bcf 2339 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 2340 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 2341 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 2342 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 2343
8d321b81 2344 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 2345 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
2346 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2347 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2348 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 2349
5da71efa
EM
2350 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2351
2352 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2353 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2354 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2355 commands until the slave device responds.
2356
945af8d7 2357 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2358
ea818dbb 2359 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
b37c7e5e
WD
2360 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2361 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
2362
2363 I2C_INIT
2364
b37c7e5e 2365 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 2366 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 2367
ba56f625 2368 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 2369
c609719b
WD
2370 I2C_PORT
2371
43d9616c
WD
2372 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2373 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2374 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
2375
2376 I2C_ACTIVE
2377
2378 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2379 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2380 define can be null.
2381
b37c7e5e
WD
2382 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2383
c609719b
WD
2384 I2C_TRISTATE
2385
2386 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2387 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2388 define can be null.
2389
b37c7e5e
WD
2390 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2391
c609719b
WD
2392 I2C_READ
2393
472d5460
YS
2394 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2395 false if it is low.
c609719b 2396
b37c7e5e
WD
2397 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2398
c609719b
WD
2399 I2C_SDA(bit)
2400
472d5460
YS
2401 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2402 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2403
b37c7e5e 2404 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 2405 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 2406 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 2407
c609719b
WD
2408 I2C_SCL(bit)
2409
472d5460
YS
2410 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2411 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2412
b37c7e5e 2413 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 2414 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
ba56f625 2415 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
b37c7e5e 2416
c609719b
WD
2417 I2C_DELAY
2418
2419 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2420 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2421 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
2422 like:
2423
b37c7e5e 2424 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 2425
793b5726
MF
2426 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2427
2428 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2429 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2430 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2431 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2432
2433 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2434 the generic GPIO functions.
2435
6d0f6bcf 2436 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 2437
8bde7f77
WD
2438 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2439 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2440 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2441 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2442 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2443 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2444 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2445 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 2446
26a33504
RR
2447 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2448
2449 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2450 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2451 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2452 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2453 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2454 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2455 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2456 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2457
17ea1177
WD
2458 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2459
2460 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2461 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2462 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2463
bb99ad6d
BW
2464 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2465
2466 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
2467 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2468 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d
BW
2469 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2470
6d0f6bcf 2471 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
2472
2473 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 2474 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
2475 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2476 a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d
BW
2477
2478 e.g.
2479 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
c0f40859 2480 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d
BW
2481
2482 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2483
c0f40859 2484 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
6d0f6bcf 2485 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
bb99ad6d
BW
2486
2487 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2488
6d0f6bcf 2489 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
2490
2491 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2492 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2493
6d0f6bcf 2494 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2495
2496 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2497 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2498
6d0f6bcf 2499 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2500
2501 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2502 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2503
6d0f6bcf 2504 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
2505
2506 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2507 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2508 specified DTT device.
2509
2ac6985a
AD
2510 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2511
2512 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2513 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2514 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2515 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2516 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2517 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2518 the other.

43d9616c
WD
2538 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2539 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2540 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2541 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2542 defined, the board configuration must define several
2543 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2544 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
c609719b 2545
04a9e118

2650 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2651 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2652 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2653 these parameters.
2654
2655 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2656 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2657 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2658 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2659 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2660 read-only.]
2661
2598090b
JH
2662 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2663 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2664 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2665 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2666
c609719b
WD
2667- Protected RAM:
2668 CONFIG_PRAM
2669
2670 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2671 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2672 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2673 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2674 this default value by defining an environment
2675 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2676 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2677 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2678 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2679 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2680 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2681 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2682
fe126d8b 2683 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2684 saveenv
2685
2686 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2687 either, which results in a memory region that will
2688 not be affected by reboots.
2689
2690 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2691 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2692 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2693 following board configurations are known to be
2694 "pRAM-clean":
2695
1b0757ec
WD
2696 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2697 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,

GB
2700- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2701 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2702 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2703 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2704 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2705 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2706 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2707
c609719b
WD
2708- Error Recovery:
2709 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2710
2711 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2712 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2713 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2714 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2715 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2716 useful during development since you can try to debug
2717 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2718
2719 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2720
43d9616c
WD
2721 This variable defines the number of retries for
2722 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2723 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2724 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2725
40cb90ee
GL
2726 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2727
2728 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2729
48a3e999
TK
2730 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2731
2732 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2733 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2734 try longer timeout such as
2735 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2736
c609719b 2737- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2738 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
04a85b3b
WD
2739
2740 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2741
a9398e01
WD
2742 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2743 for the "hush" shell.
8078f1a5
WD
2744
2745
6d0f6bcf 2746 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2747
2748 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2749 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2750 powerful command line syntax like
2751 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2752 constructs ("shell scripts").
2753
2754 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2755 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2756
2757
6d0f6bcf 2758 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2759
2760 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2761 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2762 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2763
2764 Note:
2765
8bde7f77
WD
2766 In the current implementation, the local variables
2767 space and global environment variables space are
2768 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2769 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2770 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2771 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2772 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2773
43d9616c
WD
2774 Global environment variables are those you use
2775 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2776 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2777 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2778
2779 To store commands and special characters in a
2780 variable, please use double quotation marks
2781 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2782 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2783 symbols.

2785- Commandline Editing and History:
2786 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2787
11ccc33f 2788 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
b9365a26 2789 commandline input operations
aa0c71ac 2790
a8c7c708 2791- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2792 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2793
43d9616c
WD
2794 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2795 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2796 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2797
43d9616c
WD
2798 For example, place something like this in your
2799 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2800
2801 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2802 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2803 "myvar2=value2\0"
2804
43d9616c
WD
2805 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2806 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2807 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2808 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2809 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2810 You better know what you are doing here.
2811
43d9616c
WD
2812 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2813 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2814 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2815 boot command first.
c609719b 2816
5e724ca2
SW
2817 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2818
2819 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2820 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2821 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2822
2823 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2824
2825 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2826 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2827 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2828 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2829 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2830
7e27f89f
TR
2831 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2832
2833 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2834 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2835 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2836
06fd8538
SG
2837 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2838
2839 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2840 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2841 that so that the environment is not available until
2842 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2843 this is instead controlled by the value of
2844 /config/load-environment.
2845
a8c7c708 2846- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2847 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2848
8bde7f77
WD
2849 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2850 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2851 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2852
f61ec45e
EN
2853- Serial Flash support
2854 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2855
2856 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2857 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2858
2859 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2860 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2861 commands.
2862
2863 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2864 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2865 flash is present on the system.
2866
2867 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2868 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2869 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2870 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2871
24007273
SG
2872 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2873
2874 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2875 test ('sf test').
2876
1dcd6d03
JT
2877 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2878
2879 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2880 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2881
b902e07c
JT
2882 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2883
2884 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2885 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2886 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2887
3f85ce27
WD
2888- SystemACE Support:
2889 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2890
2891 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2892 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2893 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2894 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2895
2896 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2897 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2898
2899 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2900 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2901
ecb0ccd9
WD
2902- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2903 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2904
28cb9375 2905 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2906 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2907 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2908 number generator is used.
2909
28cb9375
WD
2910 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2911 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2912 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2913
2914 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2915 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2916 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2917 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2918 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2919 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2920 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2921
bf36c5d5
SG
2922- Hashing support:
2923 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2924
2925 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2926 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2927
2928 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2929
2930 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2931 size a little.
2932
2933 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2934 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2935
2936 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2937 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2938
a11f1873
RW
2939- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2940 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2941 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2942 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2943
2944 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2945 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2946 a boot from specific media.
2947
2948 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2949 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2950 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2951 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2952 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2953
19c402af
SG
2954- Signing support:
2955 CONFIG_RSA
2956
2957 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
8bf2aad7 2958 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
19c402af
SG
2959
2960 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2961 option.
2962
9e50c406
HS
2963- bootcount support:
2964 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2965
2966 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2967 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2968
2969 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2970 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2971 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2972 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2973 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2974 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2975 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2976 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2977 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2978 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2979 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2980 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2981 the bootcounter.
2982 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
19c402af 2983
a8c7c708 2984- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
2985 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2986
43d9616c
WD
2987 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2988 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2989 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2990 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2991 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2992 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 2993
3a608ca0
SG
2994- Detailed boot stage timing
2995 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2996 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2997 of the boot process.
2998
2999 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3000 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3001 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3002 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3003 the limit, recording will stop.
3004
3005 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3006 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3007
3008 Timer summary in microseconds:
3009 Mark Elapsed Stage
3010 0 0 reset
3011 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3012 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9

3018
2eba38cf
SG
3019 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3020 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3021 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3022
94fd1316
SG
3023 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3024 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3025 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3026 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3027 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3028 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3029 For example:
3030
3031 bootstage {
3032 154 {
3033 name = "board_init_f";
3034 mark = <3575678>;
3035 };
3036 170 {
3037 name = "lcd";
3038 accum = <33482>;
3039 };
3040 };
3041
3042 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

WD
3542 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3543 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3544 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
11ccc33f 3545 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
3546 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3547 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3548 initialization.
c609719b 3549
43d9616c
WD
3550 If there are no modem init strings in the
3551 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the

11ccc33f 3553 suppressed, though.

3557Board initialization settings:
3558------------------------------
3559
3560During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3561to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3562before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3563following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3564architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3565typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3566
3567- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3568- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3569- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3570- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

3575- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3576 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3577
6d0f6bcf 3578- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
c609719b
WD
3579 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3580
2fb2604d
PT
3581- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3582 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3583
6d0f6bcf 3584- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
c609719b
WD
3585 prompt for user input.
3586
6d0f6bcf 3587- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
c609719b 3588
6d0f6bcf 3589- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
c609719b 3590
6d0f6bcf 3591- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
c609719b 3592
6d0f6bcf 3593- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
c609719b
WD
3594 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3595 booted
3596
6d0f6bcf 3597- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b
WD
3598 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3599
6d0f6bcf 3600- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 3601 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 3602
6d0f6bcf 3603- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
3604 If the board specific function
3605 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3606 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
3607 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3608
6d0f6bcf 3609- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
8bde7f77 3610 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 3611
6d0f6bcf 3612- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
c609719b
WD
3613 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3614
6d0f6bcf 3615- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
3616 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3617 simple memory test.
3618
6d0f6bcf 3619- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
8bde7f77 3620 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
c609719b 3621
6d0f6bcf 3622- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:

3623 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3624 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3625
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3626- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3627 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 3628 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 3629 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3630 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3631 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3632 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3633 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3634 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3635 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
3636
3637 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3638 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3639 be touched.
3640
3641 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3642 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3643 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3644 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3645 problems.
3646
6d0f6bcf 3647- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
c609719b
WD
3648 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3649
6d0f6bcf 3650- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3651 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3652
6d0f6bcf 3653- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3654 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3655 Cogent motherboard)
3656
6d0f6bcf 3657- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3658 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3659
6d0f6bcf 3660- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3661 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3662 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 3663 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 3664 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 3665
6d0f6bcf 3666- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
3667 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3668 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3669 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3670 flash sector.
c609719b 3671
6d0f6bcf 3672- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3673 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3674
6d0f6bcf 3675- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
3676 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3677 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 3678 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
3679 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3680
6d0f6bcf 3681- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
3682 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3683 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
3684 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3685 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
1bce2aeb 3686 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
7d721e34 3687 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3688 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
3689 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3690 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3691 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 3692
fca43cc8
JR
3693- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3694 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3695 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3696 is enabled.
3697
3698- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3699 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3700 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3701
3702- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3703 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3704 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3705
6d0f6bcf 3706- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
3707 Max number of Flash memory banks
3708
6d0f6bcf 3709- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
c609719b
WD
3710 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3711
6d0f6bcf 3712- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3713 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3714
6d0f6bcf 3715- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3716 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3717
6d0f6bcf 3718- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3719 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3720
6d0f6bcf 3721- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3722 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3723
6d0f6bcf 3724- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
3725 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3726 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3727
6d0f6bcf 3728- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3729
3730 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3731 without this option such a download has to be
3732 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3733 copy from RAM to flash.
3734
3735 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3736 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3737 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3738 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3739 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3740
6d0f6bcf 3741- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3742 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
3743 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3744
00b1883a 3745- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33
WD
3746 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3747 in the drivers directory
c609719b 3748
91809ed5
PZ
3749- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3750 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3751 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3752 to the MTD layer.
3753
6d0f6bcf 3754- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
3755 Use buffered writes to flash.
3756
3757- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3758 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3759 write commands.
3760
6d0f6bcf 3761- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3762 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3763 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3764 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3765 optionally available.
3766
9a042e9c
JVB
3767- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3768 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3769 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3770 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3771
352ef3f1
SR
3772- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3773 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3774 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3775 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3776 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3777 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3778 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3779 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3780
6d0f6bcf 3781- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
3782 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3783 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3784 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3785 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3786 on high Ethernet traffic.
53cf9435

3790
071bc923
WD
3791 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3792 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3793 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3794 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see

3825 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3826 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3827 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3828
3829 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3830 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3831 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3832 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3833 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3834 ".flags" variable.

3840- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3841 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3842 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3843 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3844 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3845 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3846 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3847 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3848 your board please report the problem and send patches!

WD
3855The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3856of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3857following configurations:
3858
c3eb3fe4
MF
3859- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3860
3861 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3862 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3863
5a1aceb0 3864- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3865
3866 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3867
3868 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3869 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3870 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3871 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3872 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3873 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3874 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3875 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3876 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3877 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3878 between U-Boot and the environment.
3879
0e8d1586 3880 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3881
3882 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3883 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3884 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3885 for this sector is given here.
3886
6d0f6bcf 3887 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3888
0e8d1586 3889 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3890
3891 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3892 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3893 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3894
0e8d1586 3895 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3896
3897 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3898
3899
3900 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3901 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3902 the environment.
3903
0e8d1586 3904 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3905
5a1aceb0 3906 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3907 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3908 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3909 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3910
3911 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3912 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3913 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3914 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3915 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3916 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3917 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3918 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3919 RAM, your target system will be dead.

c609719b 3923
43d9616c 3924 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 3925 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is

JCPV
3940 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3941 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3942
11ccc33f 3943 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
3944 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3945 can just be read and written to, without any special
3946 provision.

3948BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3949in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3950console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3951U-Boot will hang.
3952
3953Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3954environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3955keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3956to save the current settings.

c609719b
WD
3975 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3976 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3977 would require six bits.

6d0f6bcf 3987 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
3988 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3989 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3990 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3991 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3992 byte chips.
3993
3994 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3995 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3996 in the chip address.

e443c944 4059
0e8d1586 4060 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
4061 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4062 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 4063 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
4064 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4065
4066 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4067
4068 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4069 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4070 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4071 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4072 the range to be avoided.
4073
4074 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4075
4076 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4077 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4078 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4079 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4080 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

4088- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4089
4090 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4091 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4092 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4093
4094 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:

JH
4103 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4104

4118 environment.
4119
4120 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4121
4122 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4123
4124 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4125
4126 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4127 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4128 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4129
4130 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4131 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4132
4133 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4134 area within the specified MMC device.
4135
5c088ee8
SW
4136 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4137 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4138 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4139 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4140 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4141 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4142 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4143
06e4ae5f
SW
4144 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4145 MMC sector boundary.
4146
4147 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4148
4149 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4150 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4151 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4152 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4153
5c088ee8
SW
4154 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4155 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4156
06e4ae5f
SW
4157 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4158 an MMC sector boundary.
4159
4160 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4161
4162 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4163 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4164 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4165
6d0f6bcf 4166- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
4167
4168 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4169 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4170 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4171 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4172 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4173 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4174 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4175
e881cb56 4176Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 4177has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 4178created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
4179until then to read environment variables.
4180
85ec0bcc
WD
4181The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4182is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4183with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4184necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4185"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4186have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
4187
4188Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4189the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 4190use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 4191

4203 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4204 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving

4233 PowerPC SOCs.
4234
4235- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4236 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4237 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4238
4239 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4240 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4241
4242- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4243 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4244 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 4245 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
4246 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4247 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4248 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4249
4250 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4251 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4252
4253- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
4254 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4255 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
4256 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4257 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4258
4259- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4260 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4261 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4262 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4263
4264- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4265 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4266 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

844f07d8
WD
4530 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4531 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4532 relocate itself into RAM.
4533
4534 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4535 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4536 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4537 these initializations itself.

4554- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4555 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4556 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4557 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4558 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4559 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4560 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4561 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

4586Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4587-----------------------------------
4588
4589The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4590loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4591This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4592are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4593within that device.
4594
dcf1d774
ZQ
4595- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4596 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4597 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4598 is also specified.
4599
4600- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4601 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
f2717b47
TT
4602 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4603 is also specified.
4604
4605- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4606 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4607 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4608 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4609 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4610
4611- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4612 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4613 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4614 virtual address in NOR flash.
4615
4616- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4617 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4618 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4619
4620- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4621 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4622 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4623
4624- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4625 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4626 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4627
292dc6c5
LG
4628- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4629 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4630 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
4631 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4632 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4633 master's memory space.

4635Building the Software:
4636======================
4637
218ca724
WD
4638Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4639and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4640all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4641(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4642recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4643which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 4644
218ca724
WD
4645If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4646have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4647you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4648Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4649necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 4650
218ca724
WD
4651 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4652 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 4653
2f8d396b
PT
4654Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4655 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4656 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4657 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4658
4659 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4660
4661 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4662 be executed on computers running Windows.
4663
218ca724
WD
4664U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4665sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
4666is done by typing:
4667
4668 make NAME_config
4669
218ca724 4670where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 4671rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 4672
2729af9d
WD
4673Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4674 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4675 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4676 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 4677 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
4678
4679 make TQM823L_config
4680 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4681
4682 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4683 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4684
4685 etc.
4686
4687
4688Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4689images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4690
4691- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4692- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4693- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4694
baf31249
MB
4695By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4696in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4697this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4698
46991. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4700
4701 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4702 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4703 make O=/tmp/build all
4704
47052. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4706
4707 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4708 make distclean
4709 make NAME_config
4710 make all
4711
4712Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4713variable.
4714
2729af9d
WD
4715
4716Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4717for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4718native "make".
4719
4720
4721If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4722to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4723steps:
4724
47251. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
4726 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4727 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
47282. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4729 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4730 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
47313. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4732 your board
47333. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4734 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
47354. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
47365. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4737 to be installed on your target system.
47386. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4739 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4740
4741
4742Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4743==============================================================
4744
218ca724
WD
4745If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4746or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
4747provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4748the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 4749official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 4750
218ca724
WD
4751But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4752cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
4753the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4754just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
4755for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4756select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4757environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4758you can type
2729af9d
WD
4759
4760 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4761
4762or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4763
4764 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4765
218ca724
WD
4766When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4767U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4768setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4769built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4770<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4771location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4772variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
4773
4774 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4775 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4776 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL

4843Environment Variables:
4844======================
4845
4846U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4847can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 4848
2729af9d
WD
4849Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4850"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4851without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4852environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4853working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4854environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 4855
c96f86ee
WD
4856Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4857
4858List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
c609719b 4859
2729af9d 4860 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
c609719b 4861
2729af9d 4862 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
c609719b 4863
2729af9d 4864 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 4865
2729af9d 4866 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 4867
2729af9d 4868 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 4869
7d721e34
BS
4870 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4871 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4872 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4873 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4874 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4875 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
4876 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4877 bootm_mapsize.
4878
c0f40859 4879 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
4880 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4881 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4882 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4883 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4884 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4885 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
4886
4887 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4888 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4889 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4890 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4891 environment variable.
4892
4bae9090
BS
4893 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4894 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4895 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4896
2729af9d
WD
4897 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4898 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4899 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4900 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 4901
2729af9d
WD
4902 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4903 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4904 be automatically started (by internally calling
4905 "bootm")
38b99261 4906
2729af9d
WD
4907 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4908 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4909 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4910 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4911 data.
c609719b 4912
a28afca5
DL
4913 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4914 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
4915 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4916 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4917 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4918 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4919 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4920 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4921 access it during the boot procedure.
4922
a28afca5
DL
4923 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4924 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4925 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4926 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4927 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4928 must be accessible by the kernel.
4929
eea63e05
SG
4930 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4931 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4932 defined.
4933
17ea1177
WD
4934 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4935 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4936 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4937 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4938 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4939
2729af9d
WD
4940 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4941 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4942 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4943 is usually what you want since it allows for
4944 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4945 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 4946 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
4947 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4948 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4949 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4950 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 4951
2729af9d
WD
4952 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4953 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4954 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4955 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4956 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4957 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 4958
2729af9d 4959 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 4960
2729af9d
WD
4961 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4962 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4963 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4964 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4965 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4966 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4967 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 4968
2729af9d 4969 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 4970
2729af9d
WD
4971 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4972 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
c609719b 4973
2729af9d 4974 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
a3d991bd 4975
2729af9d 4976 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
a3d991bd 4977
2729af9d 4978 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
a3d991bd 4979
2729af9d 4980 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
a3d991bd 4981
2729af9d 4982 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
c609719b 4983
e2a53458 4984 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
c609719b 4985
e2a53458
MF
4986 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4987 For example you can do the following
c609719b 4988
48690d80
HS
4989 => setenv ethact FEC
4990 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4991 => setenv ethact SCC
4992 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
c609719b 4993
e1692577
MF
4994 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4995 available network interfaces.
4996 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4997
c96f86ee 4998 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
4999 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5000 When set to "once" the network operation will
5001 fail when all the available network interfaces
5002 are tried once without success.
5003 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5004 themselves.
c609719b 5005
b4e2f89d 5006 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 5007
8d51aacd
SG
5008 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5009 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5010 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5011 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5012 is silent.
5013
28cb9375 5014 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
5015 UDP source port.
5016
28cb9375
WD
5017 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5018 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5019
c96f86ee
WD
5020 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5021 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5022
5023 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5024 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5025 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5026 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5027 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5028 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5029 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5030
5031 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 5032 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 5033 VLAN tagged frames.
c609719b 5034

5035The following image location variables contain the location of images
5036used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5037not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5038variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5039server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5040loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5041flash or offset in NAND flash.
5042
5043*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5044boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5045boards use these variables for other purposes.

5054The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5055updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5056depending the information provided by your boot server:
c609719b 5057
2729af9d

5058 bootfile - see above
5059 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5060 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5061 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5062 hostname - Target hostname
5063 ipaddr - see above
5064 netmask - Subnet Mask
5065 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5066 serverip - see above
c1551ea8 5067
c1551ea8 5068
2729af9d 5069There are two special Environment Variables:
c1551ea8 5070
2729af9d
WD
5071 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5072 as type string and/or serial number
5073 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 5074
2729af9d
WD
5075These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5076the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5077once they have been set once.
c609719b 5078
f07771cc 5079
2729af9d 5080Further special Environment Variables:
f07771cc 5081
2729af9d
WD
5082 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5083 with the "version" command. This variable is
5084 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

5091Callback functions for environment variables:
5092---------------------------------------------
5093
5094For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5095when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5096be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5097deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5098effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5099
5100The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5101U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5102
5103These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5104static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5105in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5106associations. The list must be in the following format:
5107
5108 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5109 list = entry[,list]
5110
5111If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5112Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5113
5114Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5115with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5116override any association in the static list. You can define
5117CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5118".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

5121Command Line Parsing:
5122=====================
f07771cc 5123
2729af9d
WD
5124There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5125the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 5126
2729af9d
WD
5127Old, simple command line parser:
5128--------------------------------
c609719b 5129
2729af9d
WD
5130- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5131- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 5132- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
5133- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5134 for example:
fe126d8b 5135 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
5136- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5137 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 5138
2729af9d
WD
5139Hush shell:
5140-----------
c609719b 5141
2729af9d
WD
5142- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5143 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5144 until...do...done, ...
5145- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5146 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5147 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5148 command
5149
5150General rules:
5151--------------
c609719b 5152
2729af9d
WD
5153(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5154 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5155 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5156 executed anyway.
c609719b 5157
2729af9d 5158(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 5159 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
5160 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5161 variables are not executed.
c609719b 5162

WD
5163Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5164=======================================
c609719b 5165
11ccc33f 5166Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
5167such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5168"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 5169
2729af9d
WD
5170Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5171MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5172"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 5173
2729af9d
WD
5174If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5175in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5176ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5177variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 5178
2729af9d
WD
5179o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5180 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 5181
2729af9d
WD
5182o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5183 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5184 used.
c609719b 5185
2729af9d
WD
5186o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5187 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 5188
2729af9d
WD
5189o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5190 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5191 warning is printed.
c609719b 5192
2729af9d
WD
5193o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5194 is raised.
c609719b 5195
ecee9324 5196If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 5197will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
5198may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5199The naming convention is as follows:
5200"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

5209-----------------------
5210
5211Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5212to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5213components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5214SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.

5216
5217Old uImage format
5218-----------------
5219
5220Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5221preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5222details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

5243Linux Support:
5244==============
c609719b 5245
2729af9d
WD
5246Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5247easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5248U-Boot.
c609719b 5249
2729af9d
WD
5250U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5251special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5252"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5253instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5254serves several purposes:
c609719b 5255
2729af9d
WD
5256- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5257 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5258 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 5259
2729af9d
WD
5260- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5261 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 5262
2729af9d
WD
5263- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5264 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5265 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5266 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5267 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5268 software is easier now.

5271Linux HOWTO:
5272============
c609719b 5273
2729af9d
WD
5274Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5275---------------------------------------
c609719b 5276
2729af9d
WD
5277U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5278configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5279(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5280Linux :-).
c609719b 5281
a47a12be 5282But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 5283
2729af9d
WD
5284Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5285include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
5286Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5287and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 5288as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 5289
c609719b 5290
2729af9d
WD
5291Configuring the Linux kernel:
5292-----------------------------
c609719b 5293
2729af9d
WD
5294No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5295device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5296
5297
5298Building a Linux Image:
5299-----------------------
c609719b 5300
2729af9d
WD
5301With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5302not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5303"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5304U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5305which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5306100% compatible format.
5307
5308Example:
5309
5310 make TQM850L_config
5311 make oldconfig
5312 make dep
5313 make uImage
5314
5315The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5316encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5317CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5318
5319* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5320
5321* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5322
5323 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5324 -R .note -R .comment \
5325 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5326
5327* compress the binary image:
5328
5329 gzip -9 linux.bin
5330
5331* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5332
5333 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5334 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5335 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 5336
c609719b 5337
2729af9d
WD
5338The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5339with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5340combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5341byte header containing information about target architecture,
5342operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5343stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5344
5345"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5346print the header information, or to build new images.
5347
5348In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5349contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5350checksum verification:
c609719b 5351
2729af9d
WD
5352 tools/mkimage -l image
5353 -l ==> list image header information
5354
5355The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5356from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5357
5358 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5359 -n name -d data_file image
5360 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5361 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5362 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5363 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5364 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5365 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5366 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5367 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5368
69459791
WD
5369Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5370address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5371kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
5372
5373- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5374- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5375
5376So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5377
5378 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5379 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5380 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD
5381 > examples/uImage.TQM850L

5386 Load Address: 0x00000000
5387 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5388
5389To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5390
5391 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5392 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

5396 Load Address: 0x00000000
5397 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5398
5399NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5400speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5401needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5402need to be uncompressed:
5403
a47a12be 5404 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d
WD
5405 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5406 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5407 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \

5415
5416
5417Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5418when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5419
5420 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5421 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5422 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

5430The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5431option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5432option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5433from the image:
5434
5435 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5436 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
5437 indexed by 'position'

5439
5440Installing a Linux Image:
5441-------------------------
5442
5443To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5444you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5445
5446 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5447
5448The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5449image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5450address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5451specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5452command.
5453
5454Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5455TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5456
5457 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5458
5459 .......... done
5460 Erased 8 sectors
5461
5462 => loads 40100000
5463 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5471
5472
5473You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
218ca724 5474this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data

5492memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5493of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5494parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5495"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5496
5497
5498 => printenv bootargs
5499 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5500
5501 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5620More About U-Boot Image Types:
5621------------------------------
5622
5623U-Boot supports the following image types:
5624
5625 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5626 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5627 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5628 the Standalone Program.
5629 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5630 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5631 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5632 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5633 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5634 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5635 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5636 being started.
5637 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5638 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5639 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5640 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5641 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5642 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5643
5644 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5645 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5646 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5647 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5648 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5649 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5650
5651 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5652 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5653 flash memory.
5654
5655 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5656 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5657 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5658 as command interpreter.

5660Booting the Linux zImage:
5661-------------------------
5662
5663On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5664using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5665as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5666

5668kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5669address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5670format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5673Standalone HOWTO:
5674=================
5675
5676One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5677run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5678U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5679
5680Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5681
5682"Hello World" Demo:
5683-------------------
5684
5685'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5686application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5687It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5688like that:
5689
5690 => loads
5691 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5692 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
5693 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5694 [file transfer complete]
5695 [connected]
5696 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5697
5698 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5699 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5700 Hello World
5701 argc = 7
5702 argv[0] = "40004"
5703 argv[1] = "Hello"
5704 argv[2] = "World!"
5705 argv[3] = "This"
5706 argv[4] = "is"
5707 argv[5] = "a"
5708 argv[6] = "test."
5709 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5710 Hit any key to exit ...
5711
5712 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5713
5714Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5715handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5716Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5717The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5718character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5719controlled by the following keys:
5720
5721 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5722 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5723 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5724 q - quit application
5725
5726 => loads

5761Minicom warning:
5762================
5763
5764Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5765"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5766consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5767Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5768especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
5769use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5770http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5771for help with kermit.

5782NetBSD Notes:
5783=============
5784
5785Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5786(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5787
5788Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5789NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5790need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5791Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5792attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5793missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5794
5795 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5796 # mkdir powerpc
5797 # ln -s powerpc machine
5798 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5799 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5800
5801Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5802and U-Boot include files.
5803
5804Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5805stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5806proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5807tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 5808meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5811Implementation Internals:
5812=========================
5813
5814The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5815implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5816inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5817hardware.
5818
5819
5820Initial Stack, Global Data:
5821---------------------------
5822
5823The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5824starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5825system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5826This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5827is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5828at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5829options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5830models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5831MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5832locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5833
218ca724 5834 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 5835 U-Boot mailing list:

5840 ...
5841
5842 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5843 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5844 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5845 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5846 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 5847 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
5848 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5849 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5850
5851 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5852 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 5853 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
5854 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5855 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5856 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5857 used.
5858
6d0f6bcf 5859 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
5860 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5861 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 5862 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
5863 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5864 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5865 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5866 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5867 you get the config right.

5871
5872It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5873code for the initialization procedures:
5874
5875* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5876 to write it.
5877
11ccc33f 5878* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
5879 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5880 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5881
5882* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5883 that.
5884
5885Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5886normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5887turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5888simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5889functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5890functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5891the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5892place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5893reserve for this purpose.
5894
5895When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5896relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5897GCC's implementation.
5898
5899For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5900 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 5901 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
5902 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5903 R5-R10: parameter passing
5904 R13: small data area pointer
5905 R30: GOT pointer
5906 R31: frame pointer
5907
e6bee808
JT
5908 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5909 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5910 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 5911
e7670f6c 5912 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
5913
5914 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5915 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5916 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5917 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5918 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5919 624 text + 127 data).

5966
5967Memory Management:
5968------------------
5969
5970U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5971MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5972
5973The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5974controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5975memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5976physical memory banks.
5977
5978U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5979TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5980booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5981to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 5982memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
5983configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5984Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5985
5986Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5987of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5988
5989So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5990this:
5991
5992 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5993 :
5994 0x0000 1FFF
5995 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5996 :
5997 :
5998
5999 :
6000 :
6001 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6002 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6003 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6004 :
6005 0x00FD FFFF
6006 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6007 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6008 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6009 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6010
6011
6012System Initialization:
6013----------------------
c609719b 6014
2729af9d 6015In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 6016(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
6017configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6018To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6019To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6020initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6021which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6022part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6023the caches and the SIU.
6024
6025Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6026preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6027(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6028on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6029programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6030simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6031banks.
6032
6033When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6034different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6035bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
60360x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6037contiguous memory starting from 0.
6038
6039Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6040and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6041Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6042pages, and the final stack is set up.
6043
6044Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6045until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6046running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6047new address in RAM.

6124Coding Standards:
6125-----------------
c609719b 6126
2729af9d 6127All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
2c051651 6128coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
7ca9296e 6129"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
2c051651
DZ
6130
6131Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6132MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6133reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6134sources.
6135
6136Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6137Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6138in your code.
c609719b 6139
2729af9d
WD
6140Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6141- remove any trailing white space
7ca9296e 6142- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
2729af9d 6143- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
7ca9296e 6144- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
2729af9d 6145- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
180d3f74 6146
2729af9d
WD
6147Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6148with a request to reformat the changes.

6151Submitting Patches:
6152-------------------
c609719b 6153
2729af9d
WD
6154Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6155establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6156may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
c609719b 6157
0d28f34b 6158Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
218ca724 6159
0668236b
WD
6160Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6161see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6162
2729af9d

6163When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6164it:
c609719b 6165
2729af9d
WD
6166* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6167 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6168 patch actually fixes something.
c609719b 6169
2729af9d
WD
6170* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6171 implementation.
c609719b 6172
2729af9d 6173* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
c609719b 6174
2729af9d 6175* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
c609719b 6176
27af930e
AA
6177* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6178 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
c609719b 6179
2729af9d
WD
6180* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6181 document these in the README file.
c609719b 6182
218ca724
WD
6183* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6184 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 6185 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
6186 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6187 with some other mail clients.
6188
6189 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6190 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6191 GNU diff.
c609719b 6192
218ca724
WD
6193 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6194 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6195 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6196 affected files).
6dff5529 6197
218ca724
WD
6198 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6199 and compressed attachments must not be used.
c609719b 6200
2729af9d
WD
6201* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6202 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
52f52c14 6203
2729af9d
WD
6204* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6205 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

2729af9d 6208Notes:
c609719b 6209
2729af9d
WD
6210* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6211 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6212 for any of the boards.
c609719b 6213
2729af9d
WD
6214* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6215 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6216 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
c609719b 6217
2729af9d
WD
6218* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6219 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6220 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6221 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6222 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6223 modification.

WD
6225* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6226 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6227 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6228 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
