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
ab584d67 255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
c609719b
WD
256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
ab584d67 260 make TQM823L_defconfig
c609719b 261
11ccc33f 262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
ab584d67 263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
c609719b
WD
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
6b1978f8 275See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.

SG
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)
75d1ea7f 355
506f3918
HS

358 Define this option if you want to enable the
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
372 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
373
8f29084a
KG
374 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
375
376 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
377 tree nodes for the given platform.
378
afa6b551
PK
379 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
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

636 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
637 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
638 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
639 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
640 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
641 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
642 Linux kernel.

4cf2609b
WD
851 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
852 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
853 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
854 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
855 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
856 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
857 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 858 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
859 earlier bytes are discarded.

910- Bootcount:
911 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
912 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
913 cycle, see:
914 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
915
916 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
917 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
918 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
919 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
920 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
921 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
922 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
923 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
924 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
925

WD
926- Pre-Boot Commands:
927 CONFIG_PREBOOT
928
929 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
930 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
931 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
932 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
933 entering interactive mode.
934
935 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
936 automatically generated or modified. For an example
937 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
938 modified when the user holds down a certain
939 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
940 booting the systems
941
942- Serial Download Echo Mode:
943 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
944 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
945 serial download (using the "loads" command) are

947 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
948 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
949 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

1074 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1075 support you can write:
1076
602ad3b3
JL
1077 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1078 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
c609719b 1079

1080 Other Commands:
1081 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT

WD
1082
1083 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 1084 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
1085 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1086 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1087 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1088 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1089 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1090 initial stack and some data.

1093 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1094
a5ecbe62
WD
1095- Regular expression support:
1096 CONFIG_REGEX
93e14596
WD
1097 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1098 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1099 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1100 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
a5ecbe62 1101
45ba8077
SG
1102- Device tree:
1103 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1104 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1105 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1106 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1107 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1108 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1109
2c0f79e4
SG
1110 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1111 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
1112
1113 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1114 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1115 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1116 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1117 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1118 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 1119
2c0f79e4
SG
1120 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1121 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1122 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1123 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1124
1125 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1126
1127 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1128 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1129 still use the individual files if you need something more
1130 exotic.
1131
c609719b
WD
1132- Watchdog:
1133 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1134 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
1135 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1136 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1137 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1138 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1139 available, then no further board specific code should
1140 be needed to use it.
1141
1142 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1143 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1144 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1145 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
c609719b 1146
c1551ea8
SR
1147- U-Boot Version:
1148 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1149 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1150 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1151 version as printed by the "version" command.
a1ea8e51
BT
1152 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1153 next reset.
c1551ea8 1154
c609719b
WD
1155- Real-Time Clock:
1156
602ad3b3 1157 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
c609719b
WD
1158 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1159 following options:
1160
1161 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1162 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
4e8b7544 1163 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
c609719b 1164 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1cb8e980 1165 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
c609719b 1166 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
7f70e853 1167 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
412921d2 1168 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
3bac3513 1169 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
9536dfcc 1170 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
4c0d4c3b 1171 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
6d0f6bcf 1172 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
71d19f30
HS
1173 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1174 RV3029 RTC.
c609719b 1175
b37c7e5e
WD
1176 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1177 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1178
e92739d3
PT
1179- GPIO Support:
1180 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
e92739d3 1181
5dec49ca
CP
1182 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1183 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1184 pins supported by a particular chip.
1185
e92739d3
PT
1186 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1187 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1188
aa53233a
SG
1189- I/O tracing:
1190 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1191 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1192 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1193 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1194 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1195 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1196 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1197 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1198
1199 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1200 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1201 still continue to operate.
1202
1203 iotrace is enabled
1204 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1205 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1206 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1207 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1208 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1209 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1210
c609719b
WD
1211- Timestamp Support:
1212
43d9616c
WD
1213 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1214 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1215 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 1216 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
c609719b 1217
923c46f9
KP
1218- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1219 Zero or more of the following:
1220 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1221 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1222 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1223 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1224 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1225 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1226 disk/part_efi.c
1227 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
c609719b 1228
218ca724
WD
1229 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1230 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
923c46f9 1231 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
c609719b
WD
1232
1233- IDE Reset method:
4d13cbad
WD
1234 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1235 board configurations files but used nowhere!
c609719b 1236
4d13cbad
WD
1237 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1238 be performed by calling the function
1239 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1240 which has to be defined in a board specific file
c609719b
WD
1241
1242- ATAPI Support:
1243 CONFIG_ATAPI
1244
1245 Set this to enable ATAPI support.

1248 CONFIG_LBA48
1249
1250 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
4b142feb 1251 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
c40b2956
WD
1252 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1253 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1254
6d0f6bcf 1255 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
c40b2956
WD
1256 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1257 Default is 32bit.
1258
c609719b
WD
1259- SCSI Support:
1260 At the moment only there is only support for the
1261 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1262 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1263
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
1264 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1265 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1266 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
c609719b
WD
1267 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1268 devices.

1785- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1786
1787 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1788 display); also select one of the supported displays
1789 by defining one of these:
1790

1791 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1792
1793 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.

1807 Active, color, single scan.
1808
1809 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1810
1811 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1812 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1813
1814 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1815
1816 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1817 Active, color, single scan.
1818
1819 CONFIG_HLD1045

1831
1832 320x240. Black & white.
1833
1834 Normally display is black on white background; define
6d0f6bcf 1835 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
c609719b 1836
676d319e
SG
1837 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1838
1839 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1840 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1841 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1842 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1843 a per-section basis.
1844
0d89efef
SG
1845 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1846
1847 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1848 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1849 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1850 is slow.
676d319e 1851
45d7f525
TWHT
1852 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1853
1854 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1855
735987c5
TWHT
1856 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1857
1858 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1859 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1860
7152b1d0 1861- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1862
8bde7f77
WD
1863 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1864 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1865 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1866 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1867 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1868 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1869 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1870 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1871
c0880485
NK
1872 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1873
1874 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1875 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1551df35 1876 (see README.displaying-bmps).
c0880485
NK
1877 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1878 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1879 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1880 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1881 there is no need to set this option.
1882
1ca298ce
MW
1883 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1884
1885 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1886 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1887 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1888 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1889 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1890 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1891
1892 Example:
1893 setenv splashpos m,m
1894 => image at center of screen
1895
1896 setenv splashpos 30,20
1897 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1898
1899 setenv splashpos -10,m
1900 => vertically centered image
1901 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

SR
1903- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1904
1905 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1906 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1907 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1908
d5011762
AG
1909- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1910
1911 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1912 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1913 bmp command.
1914
f2b96dfb
LW
1915- Do compresssing for memory range:
1916 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1917
1918 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1919 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1920
c29fdfc1 1921- Compression support:
8ef70478
KC
1922 CONFIG_GZIP
1923
1924 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1925
c29fdfc1
WD
1926 CONFIG_BZIP2
1927
1928 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1929 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1930 compressed images are supported.
1931
42d1f039 1932 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1933 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1934 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1935
fc9c1727
LCM
1936 CONFIG_LZMA
1937
1938 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1939 images is included.
1940
1941 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1942 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1943 formula:
1944
1945 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1946
1947 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1948 and Literal pos bits.
1949
1950 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1951 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1952 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1953 a very small buffer.
1954
1955 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1956 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1957 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
fc9c1727 1958
8ef70478
KC
1959 CONFIG_LZO
1960
1961 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1962 is included.
1963
17ea1177
WD
1964- MII/PHY support:
1965 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1966
1967 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1968
1969 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1970
1971 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1972
1973 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1974
1975 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1976 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1977
1978 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1979
1980 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1981 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1982 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1983 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1984
1985 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1986
1987 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1988 command issued before MII status register can be read

2002- IP address:
2003 CONFIG_IPADDR
2004
2005 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
11ccc33f 2006 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
c609719b 2007 determined through e.g. bootp.

2010- Server IP address:
2011 CONFIG_SERVERIP
2012
11ccc33f 2013 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
c609719b 2014 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.

c609719b 2016
97cfe861
RG
2017 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2018
2019 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2020 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2021
1ebcd654
WD
2022- Gateway IP address:
2023 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2024
2025 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2026 default router where packets to other networks are
2027 sent to.
2028 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2029
2030- Subnet mask:
2031 CONFIG_NETMASK
2032
2033 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2034 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2035 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2036 forwarded through a router.
2037 (Environment variable "netmask")
2038
53a5c424
DU
2039- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2040 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2041
2042 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2043 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 2044 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
53a5c424
DU
2045 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2046 multicast group.
2047
c609719b
WD
2048- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2049 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2050
2051 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2052 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2053 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2054 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2055 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2056 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2057 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2058 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 2059 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
2060
2061 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2062 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2063 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2064 4th and following
2065 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2066
92ac8acc
TR
2067 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2068
2069 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2070 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2071 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2072 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2073 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2074 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2075 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2076 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2077 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2078 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2079 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2080 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2081 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2082 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2083 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2084
fe389a82 2085- DHCP Advanced Options:
1fe80d79
JL
2086 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2087 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2088
2089 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2090 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2091 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2092 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2093 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2094 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2095 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2096 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
2097 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2098 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2099 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2100 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2c00e099 2101 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
fe389a82 2102
5d110f0a
WC
2103 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2104 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 2105
2c00e099
JH
2106 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2107 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2108 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2109 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2110 is not available.
2111
fe389a82
SR
2112 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2113 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2114 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2115 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2116 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2117 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2118 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 2119 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
2120
2121 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2122 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2123 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 2124 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
2125 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2126 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 2127
d9a2f416
AV
2128 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2129
2130 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2131 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2132 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2133 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2134 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2135 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2136 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2137 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2138 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2139 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2140 this delay.

JH
2142 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2143 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2144 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2145 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2146 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2147
2148 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

a3d991bd
WD
2152
2153 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2154
2155 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2156
2157 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2158 of the device.
2159
2160 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2161
2162 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2163 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
11ccc33f 2164 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
a3d991bd
WD
2165
2166 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2167
2168 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;

WD
2192- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2193
2194 Several configurations allow to display the current
2195 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2196 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2197 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2198 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2199 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2200 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2201 feature in U-Boot.
2202
1df7bbba
IG
2203 Additional options:
2204
2205 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2206 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2207 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2208 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2209 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2210
9dfdcdfe
IG
2211 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2212 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2213 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2214 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2215 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2216 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2217
c609719b
WD
2218- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2219
2220 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2221 on those systems that support this (optional)
2222 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2223
3f4978c7
HS
2224- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2225
2226 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2227 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2228 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2229 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2230 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line

2352 additional defines:
2353
2354 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2355 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2356 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2357 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2358 omit this define.
2359
2360 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2361 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2362 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2363 omit this define.
2364
2365 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2366 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2367 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2368 define.
2369
2370 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2371 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2372 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2373 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2374 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2375

ea818dbb 2400- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
3f4978c7
HS
2401
2402 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2403 provides the following compelling advantages:
2404
2405 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2406 - approved multibus support
2407 - better i2c mux support
2408
2409 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2410
ea818dbb
HS
2411 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2412 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2413 for the selected CPU.
c609719b 2414
945af8d7 2415 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 2416 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
2417 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2418 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 2419 command line interface.
c609719b 2420
bb99ad6d 2421 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 2422
945af8d7 2423 There are several other quantities that must also be
ea818dbb 2424 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2425
6d0f6bcf 2426 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 2427 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 2428 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 2429 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 2430
8d321b81 2431 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 2432 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
2433 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2434 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2435 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 2436
5da71efa
EM
2437 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2438
2439 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2440 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2441 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2442 commands until the slave device responds.
2443
945af8d7 2444 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2445
ea818dbb 2446 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
b37c7e5e
WD
2447 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2448 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
2449
2450 I2C_INIT
2451
b37c7e5e 2452 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 2453 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 2454
ba56f625 2455 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 2456
c609719b
WD
2457 I2C_PORT
2458
43d9616c
WD
2459 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2460 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2461 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
2462
2463 I2C_ACTIVE
2464
2465 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2466 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2467 define can be null.
2468
b37c7e5e
WD
2469 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2470
c609719b
WD
2471 I2C_TRISTATE
2472
2473 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2474 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2475 define can be null.
2476
b37c7e5e
WD
2477 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2478
c609719b
WD
2479 I2C_READ
2480
472d5460
YS
2481 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2482 false if it is low.
c609719b 2483
b37c7e5e
WD
2484 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2485
c609719b
WD
2486 I2C_SDA(bit)
2487
472d5460
YS
2488 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2489 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2490
b37c7e5e 2491 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 2492 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 2493 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 2494
c609719b
WD
2495 I2C_SCL(bit)
2496
472d5460
YS
2497 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2498 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2499
b37c7e5e 2500 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 2501 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
ba56f625 2502 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
b37c7e5e 2503
c609719b
WD
2504 I2C_DELAY
2505
2506 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2507 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2508 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
2509 like:
2510
b37c7e5e 2511 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 2512
793b5726
MF
2513 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2514
2515 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2516 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2517 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2518 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2519
2520 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2521 the generic GPIO functions.
2522
6d0f6bcf 2523 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 2524
8bde7f77
WD
2525 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2526 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2527 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2528 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2529 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2530 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2531 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2532 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 2533
26a33504
RR
2534 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2535
2536 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2537 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2538 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2539 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2540 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2541 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2542 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2543 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2544
17ea1177
WD
2545 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2546
2547 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2548 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2549 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2550
bb99ad6d
BW
2551 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2552
2553 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
2554 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2555 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d
BW
2556 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2557
6d0f6bcf 2558 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
2559
2560 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 2561 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
2562 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2563 a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d
BW
2564
2565 e.g.
2566 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
c0f40859 2567 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d
BW
2568
2569 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2570
c0f40859 2571 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
6d0f6bcf 2572 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
bb99ad6d
BW
2573
2574 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2575
6d0f6bcf 2576 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
2577
2578 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2579 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2580
6d0f6bcf 2581 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2582
2583 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2584 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2585
6d0f6bcf 2586 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2587
2588 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2589 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2590
6d0f6bcf 2591 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
2592
2593 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2594 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2595 specified DTT device.
2596
2ac6985a
AD
2597 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2598
2599 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2600 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2601 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2602 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2603 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2604 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2605 the other.

2623 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2624
43d9616c
WD
2625 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2626 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2627 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2628 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2629 defined, the board configuration must define several
2630 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2631 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
c609719b 2632
04a9e118
BW
2633 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2634
2635 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads

11ccc33f 2722 200 ms.
c609719b
WD
2723
2724- Configuration Management:
2725 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2726
43d9616c
WD
2727 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2728 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2729
2730- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2731
43d9616c
WD
2732 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2733 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2734 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2735 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2736 protects these variables from casual modification by
2737 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2738 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2739 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2740
2741 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2742 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2743 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2744 these parameters.
2745
2746 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2747 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2748 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2749 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2750 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2751 read-only.]
2752
2598090b
JH
2753 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2754 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2755 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2756 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2757
c609719b
WD
2758- Protected RAM:
2759 CONFIG_PRAM
2760
2761 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2762 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2763 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2764 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2765 this default value by defining an environment
2766 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2767 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2768 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2769 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2770 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2771 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2772 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2773
fe126d8b 2774 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2775 saveenv
2776
2777 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2778 either, which results in a memory region that will
2779 not be affected by reboots.
2780
2781 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2782 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2783 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2784 following board configurations are known to be
2785 "pRAM-clean":
2786
1b0757ec
WD
2787 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2788 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,

c609719b 2790
40fef049
GB
2791- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2792 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2793 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2794 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2795 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2796 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2797 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2798
c609719b
WD
2799- Error Recovery:
2800 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2801
2802 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2803 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2804 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2805 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2806 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2807 useful during development since you can try to debug
2808 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2809
2810 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2811
43d9616c
WD
2812 This variable defines the number of retries for
2813 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2814 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2815 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2816

2817 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2818
2819 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2820
48a3e999
TK
2821 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2822
2823 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2824 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2825 try longer timeout such as
2826 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2827
c609719b 2828- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2829 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
04a85b3b
WD
2830
2831 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2832
a9398e01

2833 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2834 for the "hush" shell.
8078f1a5
WD
2835
2836
6d0f6bcf 2837 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2838
2839 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2840 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2841 powerful command line syntax like
2842 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2843 constructs ("shell scripts").
2844
2845 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2846 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2847
2848
6d0f6bcf 2849 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2850
2851 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2852 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2853 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2854
2855 Note:
2856
8bde7f77
WD
2857 In the current implementation, the local variables
2858 space and global environment variables space are
2859 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2860 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2861 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2862 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2863 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2864
43d9616c
WD
2865 Global environment variables are those you use
2866 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2867 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2868 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2869
2870 To store commands and special characters in a
2871 variable, please use double quotation marks
2872 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2873 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2874 symbols.

c609719b
WD
2883 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2884
43d9616c
WD
2885 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2886 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2887 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2888
43d9616c
WD
2889 For example, place something like this in your
2890 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2891
2892 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2893 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2894 "myvar2=value2\0"
2895
43d9616c
WD
2896 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2897 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2898 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2899 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2900 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2901 You better know what you are doing here.
2902
43d9616c
WD
2903 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2904 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2905 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2906 boot command first.
c609719b 2907

SW
2908 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2909
2910 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2911 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2912 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2913
2914 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2915
2916 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2917 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2918 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2919 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2920 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2921
7e27f89f
TR
2922 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2923
2924 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2925 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2926 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2927
06fd8538
SG
2928 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2929
2930 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2931 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2932 that so that the environment is not available until
2933 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2934 this is instead controlled by the value of
2935 /config/load-environment.
2936
a8c7c708 2937- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2938 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2939
8bde7f77
WD
2940 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2941 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2942 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2943
f61ec45e
EN
2944- Serial Flash support
2945 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2946
2947 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2948 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2949
2950 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2951 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2952 commands.
2953
2954 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2955 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2956 flash is present on the system.
2957
2958 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2959 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2960 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2961 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2962
24007273
SG
2963 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2964
2965 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2966 test ('sf test').
2967
1dcd6d03
JT
2968 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2969
2970 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2971 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2972
b902e07c
JT
2973 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2974
2975 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2976 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2977 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2978
562f8df1
HS
2979 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
2980 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
2981 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
2982 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
2983 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
2984 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
2985 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
2986 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
2987 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
2988 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
2989
3f85ce27
WD
2990- SystemACE Support:
2991 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2992
2993 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2994 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2995 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2996 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2997
2998 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2999 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
3000
3001 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3002 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3003
ecb0ccd9
WD
3004- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3005 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3006
28cb9375 3007 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 3008 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 3009 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
3010 number generator is used.
3011
28cb9375
WD
3012 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3013 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3014 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3015
3016 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
3017 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3018 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3019 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3020 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3021 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3022 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3023
bf36c5d5
SG
3024- Hashing support:
3025 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3026
3027 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3028 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3029
3030 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3031
3032 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3033 size a little.
3034
3035 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3036 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3037
3038 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3039 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3040
a11f1873
RW
3041- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3042 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3043 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3044 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3045
3046 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3047 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3048 a boot from specific media.
3049
3050 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3051 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3052 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3053 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3054 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3055
19c402af
SG
3056- Signing support:
3057 CONFIG_RSA
3058
3059 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
8bf2aad7 3060 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
19c402af
SG
3061
3062 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3063 option.
3064
9e50c406
HS
3065- bootcount support:
3066 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3067
3068 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3069 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3070
3071 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3072 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3073 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3074 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3075 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3076 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3077 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3078 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3079 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3080 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3081 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3082 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3083 the bootcounter.
3084 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

a8c7c708 3086- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
3087 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3088
43d9616c
WD
3089 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3090 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3091 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3092 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3093 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3094 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 3095
3a608ca0
SG
3096- Detailed boot stage timing
3097 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3098 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3099 of the boot process.
3100
3101 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3102 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3103 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3104 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3105 the limit, recording will stop.
3106
3107 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3108 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3109
3110 Timer summary in microseconds:
3111 Mark Elapsed Stage

3126 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3127 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3128 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3129 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3130 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3131 For example:
3132
3133 bootstage {
3134 154 {
3135 name = "board_init_f";
3136 mark = <3575678>;

3395
3396 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3397 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3398 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3399 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3400 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3401 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3402
3403 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3404 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3405 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3406 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3407 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3408
3409 default: 4096
3410
3411 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3412 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3413 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3414 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3415 flash), this value is ignored.
3416
3417 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3418 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3419 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3420 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3421 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3422 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3423
3424 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3425 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3426 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3427 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3428 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3429 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3430 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3431 partition.
3432
3433 default: 20
3434
3435 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3436 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3437 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3438 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3439 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3440 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3441 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3442 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3443 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3444 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3445 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3446 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3447
3448 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3449 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3450 without a fastmap.

3713- Interrupt support (PPC):
3714
d4ca31c4
WD
3715 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3716 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 3717 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 3718 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 3719 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 3720 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 3721 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
3722 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3723 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3724 general timer_interrupt().

3727
43d9616c
WD
3728 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3729 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3730 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
11ccc33f 3731 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
3732 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3733 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3734 initialization.
c609719b 3735
43d9616c
WD
3736 If there are no modem init strings in the
3737 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the

11ccc33f 3739 suppressed, though.

3743Board initialization settings:
3744------------------------------
3745
3746During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3747to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3748before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3749following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3750architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3751typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3752
3753- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3754- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()

c609719b
WD
3784 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3785
6d0f6bcf 3786- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 3787 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 3788
6d0f6bcf 3789- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
3790 If the board specific function
3791 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3792 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
3793 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3794
6d0f6bcf 3795- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
8bde7f77 3796 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 3797

c609719b
WD
3799 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.

6d0f6bcf 3801- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
3802 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3803 simple memory test.
3804
6d0f6bcf 3805- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:

c609719b 3807
6d0f6bcf 3808- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:

3809 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3810 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3811
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3812- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3813 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 3814 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 3815 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3816 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3817 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3818 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3819 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3820 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3821 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
3822
3823 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3824 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3825 be touched.
3826
3827 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3828 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3829 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3830 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3831 problems.
3832
6d0f6bcf 3833- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
c609719b
WD
3834 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3835
6d0f6bcf 3836- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3837 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3838
6d0f6bcf 3839- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3840 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3841 Cogent motherboard)
3842
6d0f6bcf 3843- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3844 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3845
6d0f6bcf 3846- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3847 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3848 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 3849 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 3850 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 3851
6d0f6bcf 3852- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
3853 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3854 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3855 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3856 flash sector.
c609719b 3857
6d0f6bcf 3858- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3859 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3860
d59476b6
SG
3861- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3862 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3863 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3864 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3865 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3866 space.
3867
3868 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3869 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3870 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3871 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3872 U-Boot relocates itself.
3873
e7b14e9a 3874 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
29afe9e6
SG
3875 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3876
6d0f6bcf 3877- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
3878 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3879 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 3880 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
3881 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3882
6d0f6bcf 3883- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
3884 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3885 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
3886 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3887 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
1bce2aeb 3888 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
7d721e34 3889 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3890 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
3891 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3892 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3893 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 3894
fca43cc8
JR
3895- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3896 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3897 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3898 is enabled.
3899
3900- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3901 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3902 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3903
3904- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3905 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3906 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3907
6d0f6bcf 3908- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
3909 Max number of Flash memory banks
3910
6d0f6bcf 3911- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
c609719b
WD
3912 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3913
6d0f6bcf 3914- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3915 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3916
6d0f6bcf 3917- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3918 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3919
6d0f6bcf 3920- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3921 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3922
6d0f6bcf 3923- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3924 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3925
6d0f6bcf 3926- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
3927 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3928 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3929
6d0f6bcf 3930- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3931
3932 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3933 without this option such a download has to be
3934 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3935 copy from RAM to flash.
3936
3937 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3938 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3939 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3940 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3941 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3942
6d0f6bcf 3943- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3944 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
3945 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3946
00b1883a 3947- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33
WD
3948 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3949 in the drivers directory
c609719b 3950
91809ed5
PZ
3951- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3952 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3953 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3954 to the MTD layer.
3955
6d0f6bcf 3956- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
3957 Use buffered writes to flash.
3958
3959- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3960 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3961 write commands.
3962
6d0f6bcf 3963- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3964 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3965 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3966 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3967 optionally available.
3968
9a042e9c
JVB
3969- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3970 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3971 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3972 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3973
352ef3f1
SR
3974- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3975 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3976 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3977 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3978 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3979 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3980 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3981 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3982
6d0f6bcf 3983- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
3984 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3985 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3986 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3987 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3988 on high Ethernet traffic.
53cf9435
SR
3989 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

3991- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3992
071bc923
WD
3993 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3994 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3995 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3996 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3997 lib/hashtable.c for details.

3999- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4000- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
1bce2aeb 4001 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
2598090b
JH
4002 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4003 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4004 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4005
4006 The format of the list is:
4007 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]

4010 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
4011 list = entry[,list]
4012
4013 The type attributes are:
4014 s - String (default)
4015 d - Decimal
4016 x - Hexadecimal
4017 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
4018 i - IP address

4025 c - Change-default
4026
2598090b
JH
4027 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4028 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
4029 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4030
4031 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4032 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4033 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4034 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4035 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4036 ".flags" variable.
4037
267541f7
JH
4038- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4039 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4040 access flags.

4042- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4043 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4044 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4045 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4046 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4047 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4048 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4049 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4050 your board please report the problem and send patches!

4052- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4053 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4054 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4055 the value can be calulated on a given board.

WD
4057The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4058of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4059following configurations:
4060
c3eb3fe4
MF
4061- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4062
4063 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4064 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4065
5a1aceb0 4066- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
4067
4068 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4069
4070 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4071 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4072 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4073 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4074 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4075 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4076 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4077 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4078 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4079 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4080 between U-Boot and the environment.
4081
0e8d1586 4082 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
4083
4084 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4085 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4086 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4087 for this sector is given here.
4088
6d0f6bcf 4089 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 4090
0e8d1586 4091 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
4092
4093 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4094 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 4095 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 4096
0e8d1586 4097 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
4098
4099 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4100
4101
4102 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4103 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4104 the environment.
4105
0e8d1586 4106 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 4107
5a1aceb0 4108 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 4109 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
4110 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4111 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4112
4113 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4114 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4115 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4116 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4117 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4118 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4119 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4120 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4121 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4122
0e8d1586
JCPV
4123 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4124 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
c609719b 4125
43d9616c 4126 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 4127 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 4128 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 4129 a "saveenv" operation.
c609719b
WD
4130
4131BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4132source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4133accordingly!
4134
4135
9314cee6 4136- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD
4137
4138 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4139 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4140 environment.
4141
0e8d1586
JCPV
4142 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4143 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 4144
11ccc33f 4145 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
4146 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4147 can just be read and written to, without any special
4148 provision.
4149
4150BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4151in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 4152console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
4153U-Boot will hang.
4154
4155Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4156environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4157keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4158to save the current settings.
4159
4160
bb1f8b4f 4161- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
c609719b
WD
4162
4163 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4164 device and a driver for it.
4165
0e8d1586
JCPV
4166 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4167 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
4168
4169 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4170 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4171
6d0f6bcf 4172 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
4173 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4174 The default address is zero.
4175
6d0f6bcf 4176 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
4177 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4178 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4179 would require six bits.
4180
6d0f6bcf 4181 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 4182 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
ba56f625 4183 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
c609719b 4184
6d0f6bcf 4185 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
4186 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4187 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4188
6d0f6bcf 4189 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
4190 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4191 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4192 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4193 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4194 byte chips.
4195
4196 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4197 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4198 in the chip address.
4199
6d0f6bcf 4200 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
4201 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4202
548738b4
HS
4203 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4204 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4205 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4206
4207 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4208 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4209 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4210 EEPROM. For example:
4211
ea818dbb 4212 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
548738b4
HS
4213
4214 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4215 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
c609719b 4216
057c849c 4217- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
5779d8d9 4218
d4ca31c4 4219 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
5779d8d9
WD
4220 want to use for the environment.
4221
0e8d1586
JCPV
4222 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4223 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4224 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
5779d8d9

4225
4226 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4227 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4228 at the specified address.
4229

4243
4244 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4245
4246 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4247
4248 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4249 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4250 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4251 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4252 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4253
4254 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4255 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4256
4257 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4258
4259 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4260
4261 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4262
4263 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4264
4265 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4266
0a85a9e7
LG
4267- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4268
4269 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4270 want to use for the local device's environment.
4271
4272 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4273 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4274
4275 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4276 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4277 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 4278 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7
LG
4279
4280BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4281"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa
LG
4282environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4283but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

fdd813de 4297 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
e443c944 4298
0e8d1586 4299 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
4300 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4301 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 4302 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
4303 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4304
4305 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4306
4307 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4308 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4309 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4310 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4311 the range to be avoided.
4312
4313 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4314
4315 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4316 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4317 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4318 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4319 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

JH
4327- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4328
4329 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4330 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4331 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4332
4333 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4334
4335 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4336

785881f7
JH
4342 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4343
4344 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of

4354- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4355 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4356
4357 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4358
4359 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4360
4361 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4362
4363 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4364 be as following:
4365
4366 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4367 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4368 partition table.
4369 - "D:0": device D.
4370 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4371 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4372 table.
4373 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4374 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4375 partition table then means device D.
4376
4377 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4378
4379 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4380 envrionment.
4381
4382 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4383 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.

4387 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4388 environment.
4389
4390 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4391
4392 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4393
4394 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4395
4396 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4397 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4398 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4399
4400 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4401 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4402
4403 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4404 area within the specified MMC device.
4405
5c088ee8
SW
4406 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4407 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4408 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4409 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4410 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4411 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4412 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.

4414 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4415 MMC sector boundary.
4416
4417 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4418
4419 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4420 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4421 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4422 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4423
5c088ee8
SW
4424 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4425 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4426
06e4ae5f
SW
4427 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4428 an MMC sector boundary.
4429
4430 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4431
4432 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4433 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4434 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4435
6d0f6bcf 4436- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
4437
4438 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4439 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4440 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4441 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4442 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4443 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4444 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4445
e881cb56 4446Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 4447has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 4448created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
4449until then to read environment variables.
4450
85ec0bcc
WD
4451The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4452is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4453with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4454necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4455"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4456have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
4457
4458Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4459the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 4460use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 4461

4473 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4474 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving

4507 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4508 PowerPC SOCs.
4509
4510- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4511 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4512 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4513
4514 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4515 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4516
4517- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4518 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4519 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 4520 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
4521 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4522 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4523 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4524
4525 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4526 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4527
4528- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
4529 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4530 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
4531 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4532 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4533
4534- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4535 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4536 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4537 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4538
4539- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4540 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4541 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

efe2a4d5 4800 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
602ad3b3 4801 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
7b466641 4802
8aa1a2d1 4803- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
afc1ce82 4804 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
844f07d8
WD
4805 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4806 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4807 relocate itself into RAM.
4808
4809 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4810 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4811 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4812 these initializations itself.
8aa1a2d1 4813
401bb30b 4814- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
df81238b
ML
4815 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4816 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4817 compiling a NAND SPL.

4819- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4820 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4821 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4822 It is loaded by the SPL.

4824- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4825 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4826 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4827 previous 4k of the .text section.
4828
4213fc29
SG
4829- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4830 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4831 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4832 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4833 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4834 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4835 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4836 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4837
d8834a13
MW
4838- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4839 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4840 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4841 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4842 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4843
588a13f7
SG
4844- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4845 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4846 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

4861Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4862-----------------------------------
4863
4864The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4865loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4866This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4867are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4868within that device.
4869
dcf1d774
ZQ
4870- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4871 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4872 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4873 is also specified.
4874
4875- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4876 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
f2717b47

4877 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4878 is also specified.
4879
4880- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4881 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4882 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4883 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4884 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4885
4886- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4887 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4888 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4889 virtual address in NOR flash.
4890
4891- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4892 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4893 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4894
4895- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4896 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4897 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4898
4899- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4900 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI

LG
4903- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4904 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4905 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
4906 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4907 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in

4910Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4911---------------------------------------------------------
4912The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4913"firmware".
4914This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4915are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4916within that device.
4917
4918- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4919 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4920
4921- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4922 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4923 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4924 is also specified.
4925
4926- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4927 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4928 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4929 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4930 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4931
4932- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4933 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4934 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4935 virtual address in NOR flash.

4937Building the Software:
4938======================
4939
218ca724
WD
4940Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4941and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4942all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4943(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4944recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4945which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 4946
218ca724
WD
4947If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4948have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4949you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4950Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4951necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 4952
218ca724
WD
4953 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4954 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 4955
2f8d396b
PT
4956Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4957 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4958 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4959 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4960
4961 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4962
4963 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4964 be executed on computers running Windows.
4965
218ca724
WD
4966U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4967sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
4968is done by typing:
4969
ab584d67 4970 make NAME_defconfig
c609719b 4971
ab584d67 4972where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 4973rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 4974
2729af9d
WD
4975Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4976 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4977 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4978 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 4979 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d 4980
ab584d67 4981 make TQM823L_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
4982 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4983
ab584d67 4984 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
4985 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4986
4987 etc.
4988
4989
4990Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4991images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4992
4993- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4994- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4995- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4996
baf31249
MB
4997By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4998in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4999this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5000
50011. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5002
5003 make O=/tmp/build distclean
ab584d67 5004 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
baf31249
MB
5005 make O=/tmp/build all
5006
50072. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
5008
5009 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5010 make distclean
ab584d67 5011 make NAME_defconfig
baf31249
MB
5012 make all
5013
5014Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
5015variable.
5016
2729af9d
WD
5017
5018Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5019for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5020native "make".
5021
5022
5023If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5024to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5025steps:
5026
50271. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
5028 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5029 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
50302. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5031 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5032 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
50333. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5034 your board
50353. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5036 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
ab584d67 50374. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
2729af9d
WD
50385. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5039 to be installed on your target system.
50406. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5041 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5042
5043
5044Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5045==============================================================
5046
218ca724
WD
5047If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5048or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
5049provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5050the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 5051official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 5052
218ca724
WD
5053But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5054cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
5055the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5056just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
5057for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5058select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5059environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5060you can type
2729af9d
WD
5061
5062 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5063
5064or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5065
5066 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5067
218ca724
WD
5068When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5069U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5070setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5071built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5072<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5073location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5074variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
5075
5076 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5077 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5078 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5079
218ca724
WD
5080With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5081log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5082during the whole build process.

5145Environment Variables:
5146======================
5147
5148U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5149can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 5150
2729af9d
WD
5151Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5152"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5153without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5154environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5155working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5156environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 5157
c96f86ee
WD
5158Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5159
5160List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
c609719b 5161
2729af9d 5162 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE

2729af9d 5166 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 5167
2729af9d 5168 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 5169
2729af9d 5170 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 5171
7d721e34
BS
5172 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5173 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5174 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5175 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5176 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5177 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
5178 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5179 bootm_mapsize.
5180
c0f40859 5181 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
5182 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5183 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5184 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5185 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5186 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5187 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
5188
5189 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5190 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5191 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5192 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5193 environment variable.
5194
4bae9090
BS
5195 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5196 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5197 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5198
2729af9d
WD
5199 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5200 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5201 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5202 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 5203
2729af9d
WD
5204 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5205 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5206 be automatically started (by internally calling
5207 "bootm")
38b99261 5208
2729af9d
WD
5209 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5210 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5211 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5212 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5213 data.
c609719b 5214
a28afca5
DL
5215 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5216 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
5217 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5218 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5219 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5220 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5221 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5222 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5223 access it during the boot procedure.
5224
a28afca5
DL
5225 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5226 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5227 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5228 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5229 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5230 must be accessible by the kernel.

5232 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5233 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5234 defined.

WD
5236 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5237 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5238 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5239 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5240 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5241
2729af9d
WD
5242 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5243 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5244 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5245 is usually what you want since it allows for
5246 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5247 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 5248 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
5249 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5250 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5251 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5252 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 5253
2729af9d
WD
5254 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5255 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5256 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5257 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5258 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5259 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 5260
2729af9d 5261 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 5262
2729af9d
WD
5263 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5264 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5265 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5266 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5267 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5268 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5269 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

5337The following image location variables contain the location of images
5338used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5339not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5340variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5341server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5342loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5343flash or offset in NAND flash.

2729af9d
WD
5373 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5374 as type string and/or serial number
5375 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 5376
2729af9d
WD
5377These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5378the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5379once they have been set once.

2729af9d 5382Further special Environment Variables:

5393Callback functions for environment variables:
5394---------------------------------------------
5395
5396For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5397when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5398be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5399deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5400effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5401
5402The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5403U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5404
5405These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5406static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5407in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5408associations. The list must be in the following format:
5409
5410 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5411 list = entry[,list]
5412
5413If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5414Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5415
5416Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5417with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5418override any association in the static list. You can define
5419CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5420".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

5423Command Line Parsing:
5424=====================
f07771cc 5425
2729af9d
WD
5426There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5427the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 5428
2729af9d
WD
5429Old, simple command line parser:
5430--------------------------------
c609719b 5431
2729af9d
WD
5432- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5433- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 5434- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
5435- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5436 for example:
fe126d8b 5437 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
5438- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5439 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 5440
2729af9d
WD
5441Hush shell:
5442-----------
c609719b 5443
2729af9d
WD
5444- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5445 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5446 until...do...done, ...
5447- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5448 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5449 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5450 command
5451
5452General rules:
5453--------------
c609719b 5454
2729af9d
WD
5455(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5456 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5457 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5458 executed anyway.
c609719b 5459
2729af9d 5460(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 5461 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
5462 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5463 variables are not executed.
c609719b 5464

WD
5465Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5466=======================================
c609719b 5467
11ccc33f 5468Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
5469such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5470"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 5471
2729af9d
WD
5472Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5473MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5474"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 5475
2729af9d
WD
5476If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5477in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5478ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5479variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 5480
2729af9d
WD
5481o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5482 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 5483
2729af9d
WD
5484o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5485 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5486 used.
c609719b 5487
2729af9d
WD
5488o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5489 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 5490
2729af9d
WD
5491o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5492 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5493 warning is printed.
c609719b 5494
2729af9d
WD
5495o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5496 is raised.
c609719b 5497
ecee9324 5498If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 5499will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
5500may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5501The naming convention is as follows:
5502"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

c609719b 5506

5507U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5508images in two formats:
5509
5510New uImage format (FIT)
5511-----------------------
5512
5513Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5514to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5515components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5516SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5517
5518
5519Old uImage format
5520-----------------
5521
5522Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5523preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5524details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

5545Linux Support:
5546==============
c609719b 5547
2729af9d
WD
5548Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5549easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5550U-Boot.
c609719b 5551
2729af9d
WD
5552U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5553special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5554"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5555instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5556serves several purposes:
c609719b 5557
2729af9d
WD
5558- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5559 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5560 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 5561
2729af9d
WD
5562- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5563 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 5564
2729af9d
WD
5565- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5566 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5567 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5568 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5569 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5570 software is easier now.

5573Linux HOWTO:
5574============
c609719b 5575
2729af9d
WD
5576Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5577---------------------------------------
c609719b 5578
2729af9d
WD
5579U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5580configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5581(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5582Linux :-).
c609719b 5583
a47a12be 5584But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 5585
2729af9d
WD
5586Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5587include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
5588Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5589and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 5590as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 5591
2eb31b13
SG
5592Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5593If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5594is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5595doc/driver-model.
5596
c609719b 5597
2729af9d
WD
5598Configuring the Linux kernel:
5599-----------------------------
c609719b 5600
2729af9d
WD
5601No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5602device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5603
5604
5605Building a Linux Image:
5606-----------------------
c609719b 5607
2729af9d
WD
5608With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5609not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5610"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5611U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5612which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5613100% compatible format.
5614
5615Example:
5616
ab584d67 5617 make TQM850L_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
5618 make oldconfig
5619 make dep
5620 make uImage
5621
5622The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5623encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5624CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5625
5626* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5627
5628* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5629
5630 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5631 -R .note -R .comment \
5632 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5633
5634* compress the binary image:
5635
5636 gzip -9 linux.bin
5637
5638* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5639
5640 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5641 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5642 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 5643
c609719b 5644
2729af9d
WD
5645The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5646with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5647combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5648byte header containing information about target architecture,
5649operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5650stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5651
5652"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5653print the header information, or to build new images.
5654
5655In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5656contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5657checksum verification:
c609719b 5658
2729af9d
WD
5659 tools/mkimage -l image
5660 -l ==> list image header information
5661
5662The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5663from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5664
5665 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5666 -n name -d data_file image
5667 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5668 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5669 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5670 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5671 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5672 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5673 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5674 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5675

5676Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5677address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5678kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
5679
5680- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5681- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5682
5683So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5684
5685 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5686 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5687 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \

5693 Load Address: 0x00000000
5694 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5695
5696To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5697
5698 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5699 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

5703 Load Address: 0x00000000
5704 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5705
5706NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5707speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5708needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5709need to be uncompressed:
5710
a47a12be 5711 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d

5724Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5725when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5726
5727 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5728 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5729 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

5737The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5738option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5739option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5740from the image:
5741
5742 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5743 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
5744 indexed by 'position'

5746
5747Installing a Linux Image:
5748-------------------------
5749
5750To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5751you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5752
5753 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5754
5755The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5756image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5757address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5758specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5759command.
5760
5761Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5762TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5763
5764 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF

5795Boot Linux:
5796-----------
5797
5798The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5799memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5800of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5801parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5802"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5803
5804
5805 => printenv bootargs
5806 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5807
5808 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5927More About U-Boot Image Types:
5928------------------------------
5929
5930U-Boot supports the following image types:
5931
5932 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5933 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5934 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5935 the Standalone Program.
5936 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5937 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5938 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5939 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5940 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5941 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5942 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5943 being started.
5944 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5945 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5946 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5947 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5948 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5949 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5950
5951 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5952 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5953 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5954 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5955 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5956 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5957
5958 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5959 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5960 flash memory.
5961
5962 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5963 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5964 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5965 as command interpreter.

5967Booting the Linux zImage:
5968-------------------------
5969
5970On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5971using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5972as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5973
8ac28563 5974Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
017e1f3f
MV
5975kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5976address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5977format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5978
2729af9d

5979
5980Standalone HOWTO:
5981=================
5982
5983One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5984run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5985U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5986
5987Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5988
5989"Hello World" Demo:
5990-------------------
5991
5992'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5993application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5994It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5995like that:
5996
5997 => loads
5998 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

6006 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
6007 Hello World
6008 argc = 7
6009 argv[0] = "40004"
6010 argv[1] = "Hello"
6011 argv[2] = "World!"
6012 argv[3] = "This"
6013 argv[4] = "is"
6014 argv[5] = "a"
6015 argv[6] = "test."
6016 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
6017 Hit any key to exit ...
6018
6019 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
6020
6021Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6022handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6023Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6024The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6025character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6026controlled by the following keys:
6027
6028 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6029 b - enable interrupts and start timer
6030 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6031 q - quit application
6032
6033 => loads

6068Minicom warning:
6069================
6070
6071Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6072"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6073consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6074Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6075especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
6076use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
6077http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6078for help with kermit.

6089NetBSD Notes:
6090=============
6091
6092Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6093(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6094
6095Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6096NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6097need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6098Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6099attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6100missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6101
6102 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6103 # mkdir powerpc
6104 # ln -s powerpc machine
6105 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6106 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6107
6108Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6109and U-Boot include files.
6110
6111Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6112stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6113proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6114tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 6115meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

6118Implementation Internals:
6119=========================
6120
6121The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6122implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6123inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6124hardware.
6125
6126
6127Initial Stack, Global Data:
6128---------------------------
6129
6130The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6131starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6132system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6133This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6134is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6135at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6136options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6137models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6138MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6139locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6140
218ca724 6141 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 6142 U-Boot mailing list:

6147 ...
6148
6149 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6150 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6151 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6152 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6153 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 6154 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
6155 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6156 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6157
6158 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6159 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 6160 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
6161 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6162 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6163 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6164 used.
6165
6d0f6bcf 6166 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
6167 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6168 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 6169 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
6170 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6171 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6172 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6173 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6174 you get the config right.

6178
6179It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6180code for the initialization procedures:
6181
6182* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6183 to write it.
6184
11ccc33f 6185* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
6186 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6187 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6188
6189* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6190 that.
6191
6192Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6193normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6194turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6195simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6196functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6197functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6198the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6199place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6200reserve for this purpose.
6201
6202When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6203relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6204GCC's implementation.
6205
6206For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6207 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 6208 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
6209 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6210 R5-R10: parameter passing
6211 R13: small data area pointer
6212 R30: GOT pointer
6213 R31: frame pointer
6214
e6bee808
JT
6215 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6216 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6217 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 6218
e7670f6c 6219 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
6220
6221 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6222 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6223 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6224 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6225 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6226 624 text + 127 data).
6227

6253
6254 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6255 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

6257On NDS32, the following registers are used:

6273
6274Memory Management:
6275------------------
6276
6277U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6278MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6279
6280The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6281controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6282memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6283physical memory banks.
6284
6285U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6286TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6287booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6288to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 6289memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
6290configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6291Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6292
6293Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6294of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6295
6296So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6297this:
6298
6299 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6300 :
6301 0x0000 1FFF
6302 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6303 :
6304 :
6305
6306 :
6307 :
6308 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6309 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6310 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6311 :
6312 0x00FD FFFF
6313 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6314 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6315 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6316 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6317
6318
6319System Initialization:
6320----------------------
c609719b 6321
2729af9d 6322In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 6323(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
6324configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6325To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6326To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6327initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6328which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6329part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6330the caches and the SIU.
6331
6332Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6333preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6334(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6335on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6336programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6337simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6338banks.
6339
6340When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6341different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6342bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63430x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6344contiguous memory starting from 0.
6345
6346Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6347and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6348Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6349pages, and the final stack is set up.
6350
6351Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6352until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6353running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6354new address in RAM.

6525* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6526 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6527 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6528 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6529 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6530 modification.

6534 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6535 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
