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.

223Software Configuration:
224=======================
225
226Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
227rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
228
229There are two classes of configuration variables:
230
231* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
232 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
233 "CONFIG_".
234
235* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
236 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
237 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 238 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
239
240Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
241identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
242do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
243links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
244as an example here.
245
246
247Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
248---------------------------------------------------
249
250For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
251configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
252
253Example: For a TQM823L module type:
254
255 cd u-boot
256 make TQM823L_config
257
11ccc33f 258For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
c609719b
WD
259e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
260directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
261
262
263Configuration Options:
264----------------------
265
266Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
267such information is kept in a configuration file
268"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
269
270Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
271"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
272
273
7f6c2cbc
WD
274Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
275kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
276build a config tool - later.
277

343 of relying on the correctness of the configured
344 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
345 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
346 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz

353
66412c63 354- 85xx CPU Options:
ffd06e02
YS
355 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
356
357 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
358 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
359 compliance, among other possible reasons.
360
66412c63
KG
361 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
362
363 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
364 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ

373
374 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
375 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
376 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
377 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
378 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
379 purpose.
380
33eee330
SW
381 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
382
383 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
384 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
385 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
386
387 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
389
390 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
391 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
392
393 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
394 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
395 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
396 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
397
398 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
399 this erratum.

586 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
587
588 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
589 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
590 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
591 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
592 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
593 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
594 Linux kernel.
c609719b 595 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 596 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

636 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
637
638 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
639 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
640 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
641 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
642 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
643 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

4cf2609b
WD
799 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
800 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
801 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
802 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
803 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
804 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
805 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 806 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
807 earlier bytes are discarded.

858- Bootcount:
859 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
860 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
861 cycle, see:
862 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
863
864 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
865 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
866 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
867 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
868 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
869 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
870 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
871 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
872 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.

874- Pre-Boot Commands:
875 CONFIG_PREBOOT
876
877 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
878 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
879 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
880 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
881 entering interactive mode.
882
883 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
884 automatically generated or modified. For an example
885 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
886 modified when the user holds down a certain
887 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
888 booting the systems
889
890- Serial Download Echo Mode:
891 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
892 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
893 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
894 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
895 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
896 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
897 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

1019 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1020 support you can write:
1021
602ad3b3
JL
1022 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1023 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
c609719b 1024
213bf8c8
GVB
1025 Other Commands:
1026 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
c609719b
WD
1027
1028 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 1029 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
1030 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1031 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1032 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1033 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1034 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1035 initial stack and some data.

1038 XXX - this list needs to get updated!

a5ecbe62
WD
1040- Regular expression support:
1041 CONFIG_REGEX
93e14596
WD
1042 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1043 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1044 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1045 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
a5ecbe62 1046
45ba8077
SG
1047- Device tree:
1048 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1049 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1050 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1051 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1052 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1053 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1054
2c0f79e4
SG
1055 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1056 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
1057
1058 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1059 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1060 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1061 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1062 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1063 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 1064
2c0f79e4
SG
1065 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1066 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1067 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1068 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1069
1070 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1071
1072 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1073 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1074 still use the individual files if you need something more
1075 exotic.
1076
c609719b
WD
1077- Watchdog:
1078 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1079 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
1080 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1081 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1082 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1083 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1084 available, then no further board specific code should
1085 be needed to use it.
1086
1087 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1088 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1089 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1090 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
c609719b 1091
c1551ea8
SR
1092- U-Boot Version:
1093 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1094 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1095 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1096 version as printed by the "version" command.
a1ea8e51
BT
1097 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1098 next reset.
c1551ea8 1099
c609719b
WD
1100- Real-Time Clock:
1101
602ad3b3 1102 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
c609719b
WD
1103 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1104 following options:
1105
1106 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1107 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
4e8b7544 1108 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

71d19f30
HS
1117 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1118 RV3029 RTC.
c609719b 1119
b37c7e5e
WD
1120 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1121 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1122
e92739d3
PT
1123- GPIO Support:
1124 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
e92739d3 1125
5dec49ca
CP
1126 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1127 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1128 pins supported by a particular chip.
1129
e92739d3
PT
1130 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1131 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1132
c609719b
WD
1133- Timestamp Support:
1134
43d9616c
WD
1135 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1136 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1137 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 1138 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
c609719b 1139
923c46f9
KP
1140- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1141 Zero or more of the following:
1142 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.

1144 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1145 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1146 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1147 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1148 disk/part_efi.c
1149 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
c609719b 1150
218ca724
WD
1151 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1152 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
923c46f9 1153 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
c609719b
WD
1154
1155- IDE Reset method:
4d13cbad
WD
1156 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1157 board configurations files but used nowhere!
c609719b 1158
4d13cbad
WD
1159 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1160 be performed by calling the function
1161 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1162 which has to be defined in a board specific file
c609719b
WD
1163
1164- ATAPI Support:
1165 CONFIG_ATAPI
1166
1167 Set this to enable ATAPI support.

1170 CONFIG_LBA48
1171
1172 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
4b142feb 1173 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
c40b2956
WD
1174 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1175 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1176
6d0f6bcf 1177 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
c40b2956
WD
1178 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1179 Default is 32bit.
1180

1390 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1391 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1392 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
11ccc33f 1393 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
16c8d5e7
WD
1394 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1395 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
386eda02 1396 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
16c8d5e7
WD
1397 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1398 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1399 a Linux host by
1400 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1401 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1402 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1403 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
386eda02 1404

1466- ULPI Layer Support:
1467 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1468 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1469 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1470 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1471 viewport is supported.
1472 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1473 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
6d365ea0

1517 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1518 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1519 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1520 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1521 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1522
ea2453d5
PA
1523 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1524 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1525 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1526 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1527 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1528 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1529
001a8319
HS
1530 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1531 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1532 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1533 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1534
1535 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1536 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1537 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1538 sending again an USB request to the device.

1717 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1718
1719 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1720 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1721 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1722 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1723 a per-section basis.

7152b1d0 1741- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1742
8bde7f77
WD
1743 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1744 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1745 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1746 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1747 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1748 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1749 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1750 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1751
c0880485
NK
1752 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1753
1754 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1755 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1551df35 1756 (see README.displaying-bmps).
c0880485
NK
1757 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1758 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1759 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1760 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1761 there is no need to set this option.
1762
1ca298ce
MW
1763 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1764
1765 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1766 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1767 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1768 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1769 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1770 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1771
1772 Example:
1773 setenv splashpos m,m
1774 => image at center of screen
1775
1776 setenv splashpos 30,20
1777 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1778
1779 setenv splashpos -10,m
1780 => vertically centered image
1781 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1782

SR
1783- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1784
1785 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP

1789- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1790
1791 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1792 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1793 bmp command.

1795- Do compresssing for memory range:
1796 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1797
1798 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1799 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1800
c29fdfc1 1801- Compression support:
8ef70478
KC
1802 CONFIG_GZIP
1803
1804 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1805
c29fdfc1
WD
1806 CONFIG_BZIP2
1807
1808 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1809 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1810 compressed images are supported.
1811
42d1f039 1812 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1813 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1814 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1815
fc9c1727
LCM
1816 CONFIG_LZMA
1817
1818 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1819 images is included.
1820
1821 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1822 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1823 formula:
1824
1825 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1826
1827 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1828 and Literal pos bits.
1829
1830 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1831 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1832 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1833 a very small buffer.
1834
1835 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1836 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1837 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
fc9c1727 1838
8ef70478
KC
1839 CONFIG_LZO

1850
1851 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1852
1853 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE

1855 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1856 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1857
1858 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1859
1860 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1861 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1862 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1863 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1864
1865 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1866
1867 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after

1928- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1929 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1930
1931 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1932 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1933 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1934 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1935 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1936 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1937 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1938 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1939 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1940
1941 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1942 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1943 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1944 4th and following
1945 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

1966 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 1967
2c00e099
JH
1968 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1969 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1970 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1971 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1972 is not available.
1973
fe389a82
SR
1974 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1975 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1976 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1977 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1978 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1979 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1980 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 1981 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
1982
1983 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1984 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1985 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 1986 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
1987 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1988 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 1989
d9a2f416
AV
1990 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1991
1992 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1993 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1994 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1995 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1996 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1997 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1998 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1999 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2000 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2001 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2002 this delay.

2004 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2005 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2006 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2007 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2008 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

2054- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2055
2056 Several configurations allow to display the current
2057 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2058 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2059 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2060 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2061 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2062 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2063 feature in U-Boot.
2064
1df7bbba
IG
2065 Additional options:
2066
2067 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2068 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2069 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2070 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2071 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2072
9dfdcdfe
IG
2073 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2074 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2075 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2076 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2077 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2078 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

2086- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2087
2088 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2089 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2090 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2091 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See

ea818dbb 2247- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
3f4978c7
HS
2248
2249 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2250 provides the following compelling advantages:
2251
2252 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2253 - approved multibus support
2254 - better i2c mux support
2255
2256 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2257
ea818dbb
HS
2258 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2259 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2260 for the selected CPU.
c609719b 2261
945af8d7 2262 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 2263 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
2264 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2265 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 2266 command line interface.
c609719b 2267
bb99ad6d 2268 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 2269
945af8d7 2270 There are several other quantities that must also be
ea818dbb 2271 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2272
6d0f6bcf 2273 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 2274 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 2275 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 2276 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 2277
8d321b81 2278 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 2279 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
2280 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2281 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2282 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 2283
5da71efa
EM
2284 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2285
2286 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2287 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2288 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2289 commands until the slave device responds.
2290
945af8d7 2291 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2292
ea818dbb 2293 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
b37c7e5e
WD
2294 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2295 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
2296
2297 I2C_INIT
2298
b37c7e5e 2299 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 2300 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 2301
ba56f625 2302 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 2303
c609719b
WD
2304 I2C_PORT
2305
43d9616c
WD
2306 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2307 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2308 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
2309
2310 I2C_ACTIVE
2311
2312 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2313 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2314 define can be null.
2315
b37c7e5e
WD
2316 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2317
c609719b
WD
2318 I2C_TRISTATE
2319
2320 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2321 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2322 define can be null.
2323
b37c7e5e
WD
2324 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2325
c609719b
WD
2326 I2C_READ
2327
472d5460
YS
2328 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2329 false if it is low.
c609719b 2330
b37c7e5e
WD
2331 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2332
c609719b
WD
2333 I2C_SDA(bit)
2334
472d5460
YS
2335 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2336 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2337
b37c7e5e 2338 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 2339 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 2340 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 2341
c609719b
WD
2342 I2C_SCL(bit)
2343
472d5460
YS
2344 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2345 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2346
b37c7e5e 2347 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 2348 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
ba56f625 2349 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
b37c7e5e 2350
c609719b
WD
2351 I2C_DELAY
2352
2353 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2354 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2355 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
2356 like:
2357
b37c7e5e 2358 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 2359
793b5726
MF
2360 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2361
2362 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2363 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2364 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2365 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2366
2367 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2368 the generic GPIO functions.
2369
6d0f6bcf 2370 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 2371
8bde7f77
WD
2372 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2373 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2374 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2375 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2376 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2377 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2378 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2379 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 2380
26a33504
RR
2381 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2382
2383 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2384 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2385 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2386 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2387 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2388 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2389 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2390 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2391
17ea1177
WD
2392 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2393
2394 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2395 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2396 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2397
bb99ad6d
BW
2398 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2399
2400 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
2401 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2402 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d
BW
2403 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2404
6d0f6bcf 2405 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
2406
2407 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 2408 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
2409 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2410 a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d
BW
2411
2412 e.g.
2413 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
c0f40859 2414 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d
BW
2415
2416 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2417
c0f40859 2418 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
6d0f6bcf 2419 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
bb99ad6d
BW
2420
2421 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2422
6d0f6bcf 2423 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
2424
2425 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2426 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2427
6d0f6bcf 2428 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2429
2430 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2431 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2432
6d0f6bcf 2433 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2434
2435 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2436 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2437
6d0f6bcf 2438 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
2439
2440 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2441 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2442 specified DTT device.
2443
2ac6985a
AD
2444 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2445
2446 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2447 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2448 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2449 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2450 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2451 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2452 the other.

2454- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2455

c609719b
WD
2465 CONFIG_SPI_X
2466
2467 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2468 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2469
2470 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2471
43d9616c
WD
2472 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2473 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2474 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2475 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2476 defined, the board configuration must define several
2477 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2478 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
c609719b 2479
04a9e118
BW
2480 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2481
2482 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2483 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2484 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
c0f40859 2485 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
04a9e118

2486 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2487
38254f45
GL
2488 CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2489
2490 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2e3cd1cd 2491 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
38254f45 2492
0133502e 2493- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
c609719b 2494

2507 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2508
2509 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
c609719b 2510
6d0f6bcf 2511 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
c609719b 2512
8bde7f77 2513 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.

6d0f6bcf 2515 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
c609719b 2516
43d9616c
WD
2517 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2518 status by the configuration function. This option
2519 will require a board or device specific function to
2520 be written.
c609719b
WD
2521
2522 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2523
2524 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2525 configuration driver.
2526
6d0f6bcf 2527 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
c609719b

6d0f6bcf 2537 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
c609719b 2538

2554- Configuration Management:
2555 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2556
43d9616c
WD
2557 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2558 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2559
2560- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2561
43d9616c
WD
2562 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2563 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2564 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2565 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2566 protects these variables from casual modification by
2567 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2568 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2569 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2570
2571 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2572 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2573 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2574 these parameters.
2575
2576 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2577 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2578 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2579 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2580 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2581 read-only.]
2582
2598090b
JH
2583 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2584 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2585 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2586 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2587
c609719b
WD
2588- Protected RAM:
2589 CONFIG_PRAM
2590
2591 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2592 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2593 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2594 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2595 this default value by defining an environment
2596 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2597 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2598 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2599 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2600 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2601 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2602 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2603
fe126d8b 2604 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2605 saveenv
2606
2607 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2608 either, which results in a memory region that will
2609 not be affected by reboots.
2610
2611 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2612 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2613 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2614 following board configurations are known to be
2615 "pRAM-clean":

2621- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2622 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2623 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2624 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2625 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2626 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2627 currently only supports clearing the memory.

c609719b
WD
2629- Error Recovery:
2630 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2631
2632 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2633 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2634 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2635 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b

2636 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2637 useful during development since you can try to debug
2638 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2639
2640 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2641
43d9616c
WD
2642 This variable defines the number of retries for
2643 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2644 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2645 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2646

2647 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2648
2649 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2650
48a3e999
TK
2651 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2652
2653 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2654 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2655 try longer timeout such as
2656 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

c609719b 2658- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2659 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
04a85b3b
WD
2660
2661 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2662
a9398e01
WD
2663 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2664 for the "hush" shell.
8078f1a5
WD
2665
2666
6d0f6bcf 2667 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2668
2669 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2670 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2671 powerful command line syntax like
2672 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2673 constructs ("shell scripts").
2674
2675 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2676 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2677
2678
6d0f6bcf 2679 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2680
2681 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2682 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2683 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2684
2685 Note:
2686
8bde7f77
WD
2687 In the current implementation, the local variables
2688 space and global environment variables space are
2689 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2690 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2691 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2692 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2693 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2694
43d9616c
WD
2695 Global environment variables are those you use
2696 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2697 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2698 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2699
2700 To store commands and special characters in a
2701 variable, please use double quotation marks
2702 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2703 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2704 symbols.

2706- Commandline Editing and History:
2707 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2708
11ccc33f 2709 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
b9365a26 2710 commandline input operations
aa0c71ac 2711
a8c7c708 2712- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2713 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2714
43d9616c
WD
2715 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2716 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2717 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2718
43d9616c
WD
2719 For example, place something like this in your
2720 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2721
2722 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2723 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2724 "myvar2=value2\0"
2725
43d9616c
WD
2726 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2727 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2728 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2729 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2730 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2731 You better know what you are doing here.
2732
43d9616c
WD
2733 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2734 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2735 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2736 boot command first.
c609719b 2737
5e724ca2
SW
2738 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2739
2740 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2741 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2742 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2743
2744 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2745
2746 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2747 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2748 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2749 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2750 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2751
7e27f89f
TR
2752 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2753
2754 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2755 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2756 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2757
06fd8538
SG
2758 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2759
2760 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2761 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2762 that so that the environment is not available until
2763 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2764 this is instead controlled by the value of
2765 /config/load-environment.
2766
a8c7c708 2767- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2768 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2769
8bde7f77
WD
2770 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2771 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2772 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2773
f61ec45e
EN
2774- Serial Flash support
2775 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2776
2777 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2778 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2779
2780 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2781 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2782 commands.
2783
2784 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2785 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2786 flash is present on the system.
2787
2788 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2789 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2790 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2791 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2792
24007273
SG
2793 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2794
2795 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2796 test ('sf test').
2797
1dcd6d03
JT
2798 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2799
2800 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2801 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2802
b902e07c
JT
2803 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2804
2805 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2806 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2807 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2808
3f85ce27
WD
2809- SystemACE Support:
2810 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2811
2812 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2813 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2814 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2815 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2816
2817 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2818 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2819
2820 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2821 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2822
ecb0ccd9
WD
2823- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2824 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2825
28cb9375 2826 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2827 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2828 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2829 number generator is used.
2830
28cb9375
WD
2831 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2832 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2833 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2834
2835 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2836 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2837 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2838 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2839 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2840 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2841 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2842
bf36c5d5
SG
2843- Hashing support:
2844 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2845
2846 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2847 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2848
2849 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2850
2851 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2852 size a little.
2853
2854 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2855 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2856
2857 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2858 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2859
a11f1873
RW
2860- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2861 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2862 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2863 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2864
2865 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2866 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2867 a boot from specific media.
2868
2869 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2870 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2871 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2872 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2873 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2874
19c402af
SG
2875- Signing support:
2876 CONFIG_RSA
2877
2878 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
8bf2aad7 2879 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
19c402af
SG
2880
2881 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2882 option.
2883
9e50c406
HS
2884- bootcount support:
2885 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2886
2887 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2888 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2889
2890 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2891 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2892 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2893 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2894 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2895 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2896 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2897 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2898 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2899 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2900 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2901 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2902 the bootcounter.
2903 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

a8c7c708 2905- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
2906 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2907
43d9616c
WD
2908 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2909 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2910 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2911 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2912 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2913 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 2914
3a608ca0
SG
2915- Detailed boot stage timing
2916 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2917 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2918 of the boot process.
2919
2920 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2921 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2922 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2923 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2924 the limit, recording will stop.
2925
2926 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2927 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2928
2929 Timer summary in microseconds:
2930 Mark Elapsed Stage
2931 0 0 reset
2932 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2933 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2934 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done

2937 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2938 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2939
2eba38cf
SG
2940 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2941 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2942 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2943
94fd1316
SG
2944 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2945 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2946 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2947 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2948 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2949 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2950 For example:
2951
2952 bootstage {
2953 154 {
2954 name = "board_init_f";
2955 mark = <3575678>;
2956 };
2957 170 {
2958 name = "lcd";
2959 accum = <33482>;
2960 };
2961 };
2962
2963 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3457 specific key (key combination) is pressed during

11ccc33f 3459 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
3460 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3461 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3462 initialization.
c609719b 3463
43d9616c
WD
3464 If there are no modem init strings in the

3513
6d0f6bcf 3514- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 3515 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 3516
6d0f6bcf 3517- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
3518 If the board specific function
3519 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3520 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
3521 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3522
6d0f6bcf 3523- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
8bde7f77 3524 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 3525
6d0f6bcf 3526- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
c609719b
WD
3527 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3528
6d0f6bcf 3529- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
3530 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3531 simple memory test.
3532
6d0f6bcf 3533- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
8bde7f77 3534 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
c609719b 3535
6d0f6bcf 3536- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
5f535fe1
WD
3537 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3538 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3539
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3540- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3541 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 3542 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 3543 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3544 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3545 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3546 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3547 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3548 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3549 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
3550
3551 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3552 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3553 be touched.
3554
3555 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3556 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3557 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3558 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3559 problems.
3560
6d0f6bcf 3561- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
c609719b
WD
3562 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3563
6d0f6bcf 3564- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3565 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3566
6d0f6bcf 3567- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3568 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3569 Cogent motherboard)
3570
6d0f6bcf 3571- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3572 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3573
6d0f6bcf 3574- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3575 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3576 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 3577 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 3578 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 3579
6d0f6bcf 3580- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
3581 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3582 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3583 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3584 flash sector.
c609719b 3585
6d0f6bcf 3586- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3587 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3588
6d0f6bcf 3589- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
3590 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3591 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 3592 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
3593 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3594
6d0f6bcf 3595- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
3596 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3597 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
3598 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3599 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
1bce2aeb 3600 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
7d721e34 3601 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3602 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
3603 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3604 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3605 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 3606
fca43cc8
JR
3607- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3608 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3609 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3610 is enabled.
3611
3612- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3613 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3614 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3615
3616- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3617 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3618 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3619
6d0f6bcf 3620- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
3621 Max number of Flash memory banks
3622
6d0f6bcf 3623- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
c609719b
WD
3624 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3625
6d0f6bcf 3626- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3627 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3628
6d0f6bcf 3629- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3630 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3631
6d0f6bcf 3632- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3633 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3634
6d0f6bcf 3635- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3636 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3637
6d0f6bcf 3638- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
3639 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3640 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3641
6d0f6bcf 3642- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3643
3644 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3645 without this option such a download has to be
3646 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3647 copy from RAM to flash.
3648
3649 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3650 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3651 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3652 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3653 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3654
6d0f6bcf 3655- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3656 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
3657 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3658
00b1883a 3659- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33
WD
3660 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3661 in the drivers directory
c609719b 3662
91809ed5
PZ
3663- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3664 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3665 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3666 to the MTD layer.
3667
6d0f6bcf 3668- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
3669 Use buffered writes to flash.
3670
3671- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3672 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3673 write commands.
3674
6d0f6bcf 3675- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3676 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3677 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3678 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3679 optionally available.
3680
9a042e9c
JVB
3681- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3682 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3683 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3684 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3685
352ef3f1
SR
3686- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3687 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3688 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3689 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3690 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3691 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3692 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3693 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3694
6d0f6bcf 3695- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
3696 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3697 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3698 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3699 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3700 on high Ethernet traffic.
53cf9435
SR
3701 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3702
ea882baf
WD
3703- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3704
071bc923
WD
3705 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3706 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3707 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3708 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3709 lib/hashtable.c for details.
ea882baf 3710
2598090b
JH
3711- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3712- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
1bce2aeb 3713 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
2598090b
JH
3714 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3715 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3716 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3717
3718 The format of the list is:
3719 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
267541f7
JH
3720 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]
3721 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute]
2598090b
JH
3722 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3723 list = entry[,list]
3724
3725 The type attributes are:
3726 s - String (default)
3727 d - Decimal
3728 x - Hexadecimal
3729 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3730 i - IP address
3731 m - MAC address
3732
267541f7
JH
3733 The access attributes are:
3734 a - Any (default)
3735 r - Read-only
3736 o - Write-once
3737 c - Change-default
3738
2598090b
JH
3739 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3740 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3741 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3742
3743 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3744 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3745 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3746 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3747 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3748 ".flags" variable.
3749
267541f7
JH
3750- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3751 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3752 access flags.

SG
3754- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3755 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3756 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3757 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3758 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3759 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3760 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3761 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3762 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3763
0b1b60c7
LV
3764- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3765 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3766 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3767 the value can be calulated on a given board.

c609719b
WD
3769The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3770of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3771following configurations:
3772
c3eb3fe4
MF
3773- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3774
3775 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3776 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3777
5a1aceb0 3778- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3779
3780 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3781
3782 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3783 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3784 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3785 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3786 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3787 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3788 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3789 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3790 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3791 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3792 between U-Boot and the environment.
3793
0e8d1586 3794 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3795
3796 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3797 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3798 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3799 for this sector is given here.
3800
6d0f6bcf 3801 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3802
0e8d1586 3803 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3804
3805 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3806 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3807 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3808
0e8d1586 3809 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3810
3811 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3812
3813
3814 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3815 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3816 the environment.
3817
0e8d1586 3818 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3819
5a1aceb0 3820 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3821 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3822 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3823 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3824
3825 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3826 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3827 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3828 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3829 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3830 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3831 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3832 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3833 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3834
0e8d1586
JCPV
3835 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3836 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
c609719b 3837
43d9616c 3838 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 3839 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 3840 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 3841 a "saveenv" operation.
c609719b
WD
3842
3843BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3844source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3845accordingly!
3846
3847
9314cee6 3848- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD
3849
3850 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3851 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3852 environment.
3853
0e8d1586
JCPV
3854 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3855 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3856
11ccc33f 3857 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
3858 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3859 can just be read and written to, without any special
3860 provision.
3861
3862BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3863in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3864console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3865U-Boot will hang.
3866
3867Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3868environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3869keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3870to save the current settings.
3871
3872
bb1f8b4f 3873- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
c609719b
WD
3874
3875 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3876 device and a driver for it.
3877
0e8d1586
JCPV
3878 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3879 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3880
3881 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3882 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3883
6d0f6bcf 3884 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3885 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3886 The default address is zero.
3887
6d0f6bcf 3888 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
3889 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3890 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3891 would require six bits.
3892
6d0f6bcf 3893 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 3894 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
ba56f625 3895 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
c609719b 3896
6d0f6bcf 3897 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3898 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3899 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3900
6d0f6bcf 3901 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
3902 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3903 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3904 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3905 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3906 byte chips.
3907
3908 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3909 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3910 in the chip address.
3911
6d0f6bcf 3912 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3913 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3914
548738b4
HS
3915 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3916 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3917 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3918
3919 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3920 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3921 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3922 EEPROM. For example:
3923
ea818dbb 3924 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
548738b4
HS
3925
3926 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3927 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

d4ca31c4 3931 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
5779d8d9
WD
3932 want to use for the environment.
3933
0e8d1586
JCPV
3934 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3935 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3936 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
5779d8d9
WD
3937
3938 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3939 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3940 at the specified address.
3941
0a85a9e7
LG
3942- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3943
3944 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3945 want to use for the local device's environment.
3946
3947 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3948 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3949
3950 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3951 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3952 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 3953 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7
LG
3954
3955BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3956"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa
LG
3957environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3958but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
0a85a9e7 3959
51bfee19 3960- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
13a5695b

3961
3962 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3963 for the environment.
3964
0e8d1586
JCPV
3965 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3966 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
13a5695b
WD
3967
3968 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
fdd813de
SW
3969 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3970 aligned to an erase block boundary.
5779d8d9 3971
fdd813de 3972 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
e443c944 3973
0e8d1586 3974 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
3975 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3976 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 3977 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
3978 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3979
3980 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3981
3982 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3983 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3984 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3985 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3986 the range to be avoided.
3987
3988 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3989
3990 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3991 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3992 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3993 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3994 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
e443c944 3995
b74ab737
GL
3996- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3997
3998 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3999 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4000 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4001
2b74433f
JH
4002- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4003
4004 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4005 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4006 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4007
4008 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4009
4010 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4011
4012 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4013
4014 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4015 environment in.
4016
785881f7
JH
4017 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4018
4019 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4020 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4021 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4022
2b74433f
JH
4023 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4024 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4025
4026 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4027 when storing the env in UBI.
4028
06e4ae5f
SW
4029- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4030
4031 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4032 environment.
4033
4034 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4035
4036 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4037
4038 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4039
4040 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4041 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4042 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4043
4044 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4045 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4046
4047 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4048 area within the specified MMC device.
4049
5c088ee8
SW
4050 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4051 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4052 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4053 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4054 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4055 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4056 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4057
06e4ae5f
SW
4058 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4059 MMC sector boundary.
4060
4061 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4062
4063 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4064 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4065 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4066 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4067
5c088ee8
SW
4068 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4069 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4070
06e4ae5f
SW
4071 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4072 an MMC sector boundary.
4073
4074 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4075
4076 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4077 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4078 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4079
6d0f6bcf 4080- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
4081
4082 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4083 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4084 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4085 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4086 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4087 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4088 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4089
e881cb56 4090Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 4091has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 4092created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
4093until then to read environment variables.
4094
85ec0bcc
WD
4095The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4096is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4097with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4098necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4099"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4100have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
4101
4102Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4103the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 4104use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 4105
6d0f6bcf 4106- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
42d1f039 4107 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
fc3e2165 4108
6d0f6bcf 4109 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
fc3e2165
WD
4110 also needs to be defined.
4111
6d0f6bcf 4112- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
42d1f039 4113 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
c609719b 4114

4115- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4116 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4117 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4118 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4119 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4120 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

4122- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4123 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4124 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4125 to do this.
4126
e2e3e2b1
SG
4127- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4128 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4129 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4130 present.

c609719b 4139 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
2535d602 4140
42d1f039
WD
4141 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,

4145- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4146 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4147 PowerPC SOCs.
4148
4149- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4150 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4151 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4152
4153 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4154 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4155
4156- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4157 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4158 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 4159 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
4160 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4161 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4162 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4163
4164 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4165 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4166
4167- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
4168 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4169 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
4170 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4171 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4172
4173- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4174 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4175 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4176 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4177
4178- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4179 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4180 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

WD
4194 defines the offset of register from address. It
4195 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
11ccc33f 4196 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
7f6c2cbc 4197
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
4198 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4199 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
43d9616c 4200 default value.
7f6c2cbc 4201
6d0f6bcf 4202 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
43d9616c
WD
4203 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4204 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4205 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
4206 initializations.

4208- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4209 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4210 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4211 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4212 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4213 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4214 is requierd.

c609719b 4221
7152b1d0 4222 Start address of memory area that can be used for
c609719b
WD
4223 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4224 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4225 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4226 will become available only after programming the
4227 memory controller and running certain initialization
4228 sequences.
4229
4230 U-Boot uses the following memory types:

WD
4236
4237 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
4238 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4239 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
c609719b 4240 data is located at the end of the available space
553f0982 4241 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
4242 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4243 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +

4245
4246 Note:
4247 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4248 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
6d0f6bcf 4249 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
c609719b

4394- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4395 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4396
4397- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4398 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
6e592385
WD
4399 to the given FEC; i. e.
4400 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
c26e454d
WD
4401 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4402
4403 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4404
4405- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4406 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4407 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4408
4409- CONFIG_RMII
4410 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4411 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4412 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4413

WD
4414- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4415 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4416 The syntax is:
4417
4418 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4419
4420 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4421 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4422 area should have.
4423
56523f12
WD
4424- CONFIG_LOOPW
4425 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
602ad3b3 4426 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
56523f12 4427
7b466641
SR
4428- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4429 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4430 "md/mw" commands.
4431 Examples:
4432
efe2a4d5 4433 => mdc.b 10 4 500
7b466641
SR
4434 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4435
efe2a4d5 4436 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
7b466641
SR
4437 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4438
efe2a4d5 4439 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
602ad3b3 4440 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
7b466641 4441
8aa1a2d1 4442- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
afc1ce82 4443 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
844f07d8
WD
4444 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4445 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4446 relocate itself into RAM.
4447
4448 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4449 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4450 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4451 these initializations itself.
8aa1a2d1 4452
401bb30b 4453- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
df81238b
ML
4454 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4455 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4456 compiling a NAND SPL.

4463- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4464 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4465 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4466 previous 4k of the .text section.
4467
4213fc29
SG
4468- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4469 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4470 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4471 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4472 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4473 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4474 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4475 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4476
d8834a13
MW
4477- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4478 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4479 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4480 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4481 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4482
588a13f7
SG
4483- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4484 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4485 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

4495Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4496-----------------------------------
4497
4498The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4499loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4500This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4501are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4502within that device.
4503
4504- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4505 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4506 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4507 is also specified.
4508
4509- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4510 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4511 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4512 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4513 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4514
4515- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4516 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4517 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4518 virtual address in NOR flash.
4519
4520- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4521 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4522 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4523
4524- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4525 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4526 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4527
4528- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4529 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4530 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4531
292dc6c5
LG
4532- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4533 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4534 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
4535 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4536 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4537 master's memory space.

4539Building the Software:
4540======================
4541
218ca724
WD
4542Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4543and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4544all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4545(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4546recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4547which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 4548
218ca724
WD
4549If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4550have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4551you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4552Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4553necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 4554
218ca724
WD
4555 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4556 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 4557
2f8d396b
PT
4558Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4559 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4560 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4561 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4562
4563 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4564
4565 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4566 be executed on computers running Windows.
4567
218ca724
WD
4568U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4569sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
4570is done by typing:
4571
4572 make NAME_config
4573
218ca724 4574where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 4575rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 4576
2729af9d
WD
4577Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4578 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4579 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4580 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 4581 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
4582
4583 make TQM823L_config
4584 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4585
4586 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4587 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4588
4589 etc.
4590
4591
4592Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4593images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4594
4595- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4596- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4597- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4598
baf31249
MB
4599By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4600in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4601this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4602
46031. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4604
4605 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4606 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4607 make O=/tmp/build all
4608
46092. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4610
4611 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4612 make distclean
4613 make NAME_config
4614 make all
4615
4616Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4617variable.
4618
2729af9d
WD
4619
4620Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4621for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4622native "make".
4623
4624
4625If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4626to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4627steps:
4628
46291. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
4630 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4631 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
46322. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4633 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4634 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
46353. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4636 your board
46373. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4638 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
46394. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
46405. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4641 to be installed on your target system.
46426. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4643 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4644
4645
4646Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4647==============================================================
4648
218ca724
WD
4649If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4650or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
4651provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4652the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 4653official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 4654
218ca724
WD
4655But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4656cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
4657the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4658just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
4659for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4660select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4661environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4662you can type
2729af9d
WD
4663
4664 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4665
4666or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4667
4668 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4669
218ca724
WD
4670When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4671U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4672setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4673built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4674<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4675location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4676variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
4677
4678 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4679 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4680 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4681
218ca724
WD
4682With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4683log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4684during the whole build process.

4747Environment Variables:
4748======================
4749
4750U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4751can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 4752
2729af9d
WD
4753Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4754"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4755without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4756environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4757working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4758environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

4774 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4775 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4776 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4777 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4778 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4779 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
4780 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4781 bootm_mapsize.
4782
c0f40859 4783 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
4784 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4785 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4786 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4787 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4788 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4789 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
4790
4791 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4792 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4793 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4794 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4795 environment variable.

4797 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4798 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4799 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.

4801 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4802 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4803 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4804 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 4805
2729af9d
WD
4806 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4807 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4808 be automatically started (by internally calling
4809 "bootm")
38b99261 4810
2729af9d
WD
4811 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4812 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4813 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4814 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4815 data.
c609719b 4816

DL
4817 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4818 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
4819 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4820 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4821 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4822 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4823 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4824 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4825 access it during the boot procedure.
4826
a28afca5
DL
4827 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4828 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4829 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4830 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4831 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4832 must be accessible by the kernel.
4833
eea63e05
SG
4834 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4835 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4836 defined.
4837
17ea1177
WD
4838 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4839 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4840 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4841 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4842 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4843
2729af9d
WD
4844 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4845 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4846 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4847 is usually what you want since it allows for
4848 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4849 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 4850 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
4851 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4852 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4853 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4854 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 4855
2729af9d
WD
4856 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4857 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4858 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4859 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4860 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4861 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 4862
2729af9d 4863 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 4864
2729af9d
WD
4865 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4866 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4867 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4868 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4869 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4870 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4871 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

4898 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4899 available network interfaces.
4900 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4901
c96f86ee 4902 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
4903 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4904 When set to "once" the network operation will
4905 fail when all the available network interfaces

4912 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4913 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4914 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4915 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4916 is silent.

28cb9375
WD
4921 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4922 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.

c96f86ee
WD
4924 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4925 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4926
4927 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4928 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4929 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4930 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4931 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4932 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4933 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4934
4935 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 4936 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 4937 VLAN tagged frames.

4939The following image location variables contain the location of images
4940used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4941not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4942variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4943server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4944loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4945flash or offset in NAND flash.
4946
4947*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4948boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4949boards use these variables for other purposes.

2729af9d
WD
4975 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4976 as type string and/or serial number
4977 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4978
2729af9d
WD
4979These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4980the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4981once they have been set once.

4995Callback functions for environment variables:
4996---------------------------------------------
4997
4998For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4999when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5000be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5001deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5002effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5003
5004The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5005U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5006
5007These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5008static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5009in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5010associations. The list must be in the following format:
5011
5012 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5013 list = entry[,list]
5014
5015If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5016Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5017
5018Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5019with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5020override any association in the static list. You can define
5021CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5022".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

5025Command Line Parsing:
5026=====================
f07771cc 5027
2729af9d
WD
5028There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5029the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 5030
2729af9d
WD
5031Old, simple command line parser:
5032--------------------------------
c609719b 5033
2729af9d
WD
5034- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5035- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 5036- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
5037- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5038 for example:
fe126d8b 5039 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
5040- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5041 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 5042
2729af9d
WD
5043Hush shell:
5044-----------
c609719b 5045
2729af9d
WD
5046- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5047 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5048 until...do...done, ...
5049- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5050 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5051 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5052 command
5053
5054General rules:
5055--------------
c609719b 5056
2729af9d
WD
5057(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5058 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5059 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5060 executed anyway.
c609719b 5061
2729af9d 5062(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 5063 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
5064 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5065 variables are not executed.
c609719b 5066

WD
5067Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5068=======================================
c609719b 5069
11ccc33f 5070Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
5071such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5072"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 5073
2729af9d
WD
5074Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5075MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5076"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 5077
2729af9d
WD
5078If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5079in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5080ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5081variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 5082
2729af9d
WD
5083o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5084 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 5085
2729af9d
WD
5086o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5087 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5088 used.
c609719b 5089
2729af9d
WD
5090o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5091 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 5092
2729af9d
WD
5093o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5094 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5095 warning is printed.
c609719b 5096
2729af9d
WD
5097o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5098 is raised.
c609719b 5099
ecee9324 5100If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 5101will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
5102may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5103The naming convention is as follows:
5104"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

c609719b 5108

5109U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5110images in two formats:
5111
5112New uImage format (FIT)
5113-----------------------
5114
5115Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5116to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5117components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5118SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5119
5120
5121Old uImage format
5122-----------------
5123
5124Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5125preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5126details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

5147Linux Support:
5148==============
c609719b 5149
2729af9d
WD
5150Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5151easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5152U-Boot.
c609719b 5153
2729af9d
WD
5154U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5155special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5156"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5157instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5158serves several purposes:
c609719b 5159
2729af9d
WD
5160- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5161 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5162 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 5163
2729af9d
WD
5164- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5165 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 5166
2729af9d
WD
5167- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5168 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5169 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5170 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5171 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5172 software is easier now.

5178Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5179---------------------------------------
c609719b 5180
2729af9d
WD
5181U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5182configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5183(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5184Linux :-).
c609719b 5185

5188Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5189include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board

5190Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,

5198No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5199device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.

5202Building a Linux Image:
5203-----------------------
c609719b 5204
2729af9d
WD
5205With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5206not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5207"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5208U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5209which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5210100% compatible format.
5211
5212Example:
5213
5214 make TQM850L_config
5215 make oldconfig
5216 make dep
5217 make uImage
5218
5219The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5220encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5221CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5222
5223* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5224
5225* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5226
5227 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5228 -R .note -R .comment \
5229 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5230
5231* compress the binary image:
5232
5233 gzip -9 linux.bin
5234
5235* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5236
5237 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5238 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5239 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 5240
c609719b 5241
2729af9d
WD
5242The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5243with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5244combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5245byte header containing information about target architecture,
5246operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5247stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5248
5249"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5250print the header information, or to build new images.
5251
5252In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5253contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5254checksum verification:
c609719b 5255
2729af9d
WD
5256 tools/mkimage -l image
5257 -l ==> list image header information
5258
5259The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5260from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5261
5262 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5263 -n name -d data_file image
5264 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5265 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5266 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5267 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5268 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5269 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5270 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5271 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5272
69459791
WD
5273Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5274address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5275kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
5276
5277- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5278- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5279
5280So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5281
5282 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5283 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5284 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD

5293To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5294

5301 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5302
5303NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5304speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5305needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5306need to be uncompressed:
5307
a47a12be 5308 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d

5309 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \

5321Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5322when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5323
5324 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5325 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5326 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

5334The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5335option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5336option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5337from the image:
5338
5339 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5340 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
5341 indexed by 'position'

5343
5344Installing a Linux Image:
5345-------------------------
5346
5347To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5348you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5349
5350 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5351
5352The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5353image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5354address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5355specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5356command.
5357
5358Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5359TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5360
5361 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5362

5392Boot Linux:
5393-----------
5394
5395The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5396memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5397of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5398parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5399"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5400
5401
5402 => printenv bootargs
5403 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5404
5405 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5524More About U-Boot Image Types:
5525------------------------------
5526
5527U-Boot supports the following image types:
5528
5529 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5530 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5531 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5532 the Standalone Program.
5533 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5534 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5535 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5536 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5537 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5538 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5539 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5540 being started.
5541 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5542 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5543 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5544 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5545 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5546 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5547
5548 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5549 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5550 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5551 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5552 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5553 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5554
5555 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5556 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5557 flash memory.
5558
5559 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5560 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5561 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5562 as command interpreter.

5564Booting the Linux zImage:
5565-------------------------
5566
5567On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5568using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5569as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5570
8ac28563 5571Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
017e1f3f
MV
5572kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5573address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5574format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5577Standalone HOWTO:
5578=================
5579
5580One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5581run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5582U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5583
5584Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5585
5586"Hello World" Demo:
5587-------------------
5588
5589'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5590application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5591It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5592like that:
5593
5594 => loads

5603 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5604 Hello World
5605 argc = 7
5606 argv[0] = "40004"
5607 argv[1] = "Hello"
5608 argv[2] = "World!"
5609 argv[3] = "This"
5610 argv[4] = "is"
5611 argv[5] = "a"
5612 argv[6] = "test."
5613 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5614 Hit any key to exit ...
5615
5616 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5617
5618Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5619handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5620Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5621The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5622character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5623controlled by the following keys:
5624

5665Minicom warning:
5666================
5667
5668Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5669"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5670consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5671Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5672especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2

5673use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See

5686NetBSD Notes:
5687=============
5688
5689Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5690(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5691
5692Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5693NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5694need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5695Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5696attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5697missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5698
5699 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5700 # mkdir powerpc
5701 # ln -s powerpc machine
5702 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5703 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5704
5705Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5706and U-Boot include files.
5707
5708Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5709stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5710proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5711tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 5712meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5715Implementation Internals:
5716=========================
5717
5718The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5719implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5720inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5721hardware.
5722
5723
5724Initial Stack, Global Data:
5725---------------------------
5726
5727The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5728starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5729system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5730This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5731is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5732at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5733options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5734models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5735MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5736locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5737
218ca724 5738 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 5739 U-Boot mailing list:

5744 ...
5745
5746 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5747 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5748 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5749 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5750 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 5751 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
5752 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5753 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5754
5755 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5756 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 5757 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
5758 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5759 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5760 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5761 used.
5762
6d0f6bcf 5763 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
5764 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5765 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 5766 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
5767 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5768 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5769 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5770 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5771 you get the config right.

5775
5776It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5777code for the initialization procedures:
5778
5779* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5780 to write it.
5781
11ccc33f 5782* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
5783 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5784 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5785
5786* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5787 that.
5788
5789Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5790normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5791turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5792simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5793functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5794functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5795the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5796place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5797reserve for this purpose.
5798
5799When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5800relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5801GCC's implementation.
5802
5803For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5804 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 5805 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
5806 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5807 R5-R10: parameter passing
5808 R13: small data area pointer
5809 R30: GOT pointer
5810 R31: frame pointer
5811
e6bee808
JT
5812 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5813 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5814 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 5815
e7670f6c 5816 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
5817
5818 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5819 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5820 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5821 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5822 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5823 624 text + 127 data).
5824

5851 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5852 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

5870
5871Memory Management:
5872------------------
5873
5874U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5875MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5876
5877The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5878controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5879memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5880physical memory banks.
5881
5882U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5883TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5884booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5885to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 5886memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
5887configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5888Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5889
5890Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5891of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5892
5893So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5894this:
5895
5896 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5897 :
5898 0x0000 1FFF
5899 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5900 :
5901 :
5902
5903 :
5904 :
5905 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5906 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5907 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5908 :
5909 0x00FD FFFF
5910 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5911 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5912 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5913 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5914
5915
5916System Initialization:
5917----------------------
c609719b 5918
2729af9d 5919In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 5920(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
5921configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5922To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5923To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5924initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5925which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5926part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5927the caches and the SIU.
5928
5929Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5930preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5931(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5932on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5933programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5934simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5935banks.
5936
5937When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5938different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5939bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
59400x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5941contiguous memory starting from 0.
5942
5943Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5944and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5945Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5946pages, and the final stack is set up.
5947
5948Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5949until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5950running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5951new address in RAM.

6087* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6088 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 6089 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
6090 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6091 with some other mail clients.
6092
6093 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6094 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6095 GNU diff.

6097 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6098 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6099 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6100 affected files).

6114* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6115 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6116 for any of the boards.

6118* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6119 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6120 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.

6122* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6123 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6124 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6125 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6126 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6127 modification.

6129* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6130 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6131 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6132 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
