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.

224Software Configuration:
225=======================
226
227Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
228rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
229
230There are two classes of configuration variables:
231
232* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
233 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
234 "CONFIG_".
235
236* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
237 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
238 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 239 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
240
241Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
242identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
243do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
244links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
245as an example here.
246
247
248Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
249---------------------------------------------------
250
251For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
252configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
253
254Example: For a TQM823L module type:
255
256 cd u-boot
257 make TQM823L_config
258
11ccc33f 259For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
c609719b
WD
260e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
261directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
262
263
264Configuration Options:
265----------------------
266
267Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
268such information is kept in a configuration file
269"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
270
271Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
272"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
273
274
7f6c2cbc
WD
275Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
276kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
277build a config tool - later.
278

344 of relying on the correctness of the configured
345 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
346 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
347 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 348 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)

354
66412c63 355- 85xx CPU Options:
ffd06e02
YS
356 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
357
358 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
359 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
360 compliance, among other possible reasons.
361
66412c63
KG
362 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
363
364 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
365 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
366 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
367
8f29084a
KG
368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
369

374
375 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
376 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
377 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
378 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
379 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
380 purpose.
381
33eee330
SW
382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
383
384 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
385 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
386 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
387
388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
389 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
390
391 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
392 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
393
394 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
395 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
396 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
397 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
398
399 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
400 this erratum.
401

542 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
543
544 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
545 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
546 better code density. For ARM architectures that support
547 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by

555 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
556 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
557 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection

5da627a4 568- Linux Kernel Interface:
c609719b
WD
569 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
570
571 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
572 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
573 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
574 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
575 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
576 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
577 Linux kernel.
c609719b 578 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 579 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
c609719b

619 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
620
621 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
622 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
623 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
624 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
625 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
626 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

4cf2609b
WD
782 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
783 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
784 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
785 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
786 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
787 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
788 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 789 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
790 earlier bytes are discarded.
791

841- Bootcount:
842 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
843 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
844 cycle, see:
845 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
846
847 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
848 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
849 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
850 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
851 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
852 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
853 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
854 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
855 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.

857- Pre-Boot Commands:
858 CONFIG_PREBOOT
859
860 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
861 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
862 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
863 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
864 entering interactive mode.
865
866 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
867 automatically generated or modified. For an example
868 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
869 modified when the user holds down a certain
870 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
871 booting the systems
872
873- Serial Download Echo Mode:
874 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
875 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
876 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
877 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
878 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
879 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
880 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

1001 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1002 support you can write:
1003
602ad3b3
JL
1004 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1005 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
c609719b 1006
213bf8c8
GVB
1007 Other Commands:
1008 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
c609719b
WD
1009
1010 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 1011 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
1012 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1013 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1014 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1015 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1016 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1017 initial stack and some data.

1020 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1021
a5ecbe62
WD
1022- Regular expression support:
1023 CONFIG_REGEX
93e14596
WD
1024 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1025 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1026 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1027 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
a5ecbe62 1028
45ba8077
SG
1029- Device tree:
1030 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1031 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1032 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1033 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1034 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1035 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1036
2c0f79e4
SG
1037 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1038 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
1039
1040 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1041 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1042 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1043 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1044 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1045 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 1046
2c0f79e4
SG
1047 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1048 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1049 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1050 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1051
1052 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1053
1054 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1055 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1056 still use the individual files if you need something more
1057 exotic.
1058
c609719b
WD
1059- Watchdog:
1060 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1061 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
1062 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1063 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1064 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1065 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1066 available, then no further board specific code should
1067 be needed to use it.
1068
1069 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1070 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1071 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1072 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
c609719b 1073
c1551ea8
SR
1074- U-Boot Version:
1075 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1076 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1077 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1078 version as printed by the "version" command.
a1ea8e51
BT
1079 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1080 next reset.
c1551ea8 1081
c609719b
WD
1082- Real-Time Clock:
1083
602ad3b3 1084 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
c609719b
WD
1085 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1086 following options:
1087
1088 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1089 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
4e8b7544 1090 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

71d19f30
HS
1099 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1100 RV3029 RTC.
c609719b 1101
b37c7e5e
WD
1102 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1103 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1104
e92739d3
PT
1105- GPIO Support:
1106 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
e92739d3 1107
5dec49ca
CP
1108 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1109 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1110 pins supported by a particular chip.
1111
e92739d3
PT
1112 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1113 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1114
c609719b
WD
1115- Timestamp Support:
1116
43d9616c
WD
1117 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1118 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1119 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 1120 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
c609719b 1121
923c46f9
KP
1122- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1123 Zero or more of the following:
1124 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.

1126 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1127 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1128 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1129 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1130 disk/part_efi.c
1131 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
c609719b 1132
218ca724
WD
1133 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1134 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
923c46f9 1135 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
c609719b
WD
1136
1137- IDE Reset method:
4d13cbad
WD
1138 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1139 board configurations files but used nowhere!
c609719b 1140
4d13cbad
WD
1141 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1142 be performed by calling the function
1143 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1144 which has to be defined in a board specific file
c609719b
WD
1145
1146- ATAPI Support:
1147 CONFIG_ATAPI
1148
1149 Set this to enable ATAPI support.

1156 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1157 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1158
6d0f6bcf 1159 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
c40b2956
WD
1160 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1161 Default is 32bit.

1371- USB Device:
1372 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1373 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1374 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
11ccc33f 1375 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
16c8d5e7
WD
1376 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1377 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
386eda02 1378 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
16c8d5e7
WD
1379 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1380 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1381 a Linux host by
1382 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1383 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1384 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following

1448- ULPI Layer Support:
1449 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1450 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1451 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1452 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1453 viewport is supported.
1454 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1455 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
6d365ea0

1689 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1690
1691 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1692 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1693 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE

7152b1d0 1713- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1714
8bde7f77
WD
1715 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1716 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1717 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1718 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1719 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1720 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1721 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1722 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1723
c0880485
NK
1724 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1725
1726 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1727 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1728 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1729 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1730 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1731 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1732 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1733 there is no need to set this option.
1734
1ca298ce
MW
1735 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1736
1737 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1738 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1739 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1740 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1741 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1742 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1743
1744 Example:
1745 setenv splashpos m,m
1746 => image at center of screen
1747
1748 setenv splashpos 30,20
1749 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1750
1751 setenv splashpos -10,m
1752 => vertically centered image
1753 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

1781 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1782 compressed images are supported.
1783
42d1f039 1784 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1785 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1786 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1787
fc9c1727
LCM
1788 CONFIG_LZMA
1789
1790 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1791 images is included.
1792
1793 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1794 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1795 formula:
1796
1797 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1798
1799 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1800 and Literal pos bits.
1801
1802 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1803 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1804 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1805 a very small buffer.
1806
1807 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1808 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1809 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

1900- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1901 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1902
1903 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1904 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1905 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1906 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1907 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1908 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1909 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1910 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1911 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1912
1913 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1914 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec

1938 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 1939
2c00e099
JH
1940 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1941 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1942 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1943 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1944 is not available.

fe389a82
SR
1946 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1947 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1948 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1949 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1950 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1951 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1952 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 1953 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
1954
1955 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1956 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1957 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 1958 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
1959 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1960 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 1961

AV
1962 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1963
1964 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1965 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1966 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1967 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1968 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1969 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1970 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1971 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1972 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1973 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1974 this delay.

1976 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1977 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1978 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1979 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1980 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

2026- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2027
2028 Several configurations allow to display the current
2029 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2030 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2031 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2032 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2033 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2034 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2035 feature in U-Boot.
2036
1df7bbba
IG
2037 Additional options:
2038
2039 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2040 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2041 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2042 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2043 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2044
9dfdcdfe
IG
2045 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2046 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2047 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2048 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2049 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2050 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

2058- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2059
2060 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2061 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2062 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2063 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2064 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line

2224 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2225 - approved multibus support
2226 - better i2c mux support
2227
2228 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2229
ea818dbb
HS
2230 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2231 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2232 for the selected CPU.
c609719b 2233
945af8d7 2234 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 2235 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
2236 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2237 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 2238 command line interface.
c609719b 2239
bb99ad6d 2240 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 2241
945af8d7 2242 There are several other quantities that must also be
ea818dbb 2243 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2244
6d0f6bcf 2245 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 2246 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 2247 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 2248 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 2249
8d321b81 2250 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 2251 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
2252 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2253 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2254 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 2255
5da71efa
EM
2256 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2257
2258 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2259 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2260 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2261 commands until the slave device responds.
2262
945af8d7 2263 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2264
ea818dbb 2265 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
b37c7e5e
WD
2266 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2267 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
2268
2269 I2C_INIT
2270
b37c7e5e 2271 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 2272 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 2273
ba56f625 2274 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 2275
c609719b
WD
2276 I2C_PORT
2277
43d9616c
WD
2278 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2279 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2280 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
2281
2282 I2C_ACTIVE
2283
2284 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2285 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2286 define can be null.
2287
b37c7e5e
WD
2288 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2289
c609719b
WD
2290 I2C_TRISTATE
2291
2292 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2293 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2294 define can be null.
2295
b37c7e5e
WD
2296 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2297
c609719b
WD
2298 I2C_READ
2299
472d5460
YS
2300 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2301 false if it is low.
c609719b 2302
b37c7e5e
WD
2303 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2304
c609719b
WD
2305 I2C_SDA(bit)
2306
472d5460
YS
2307 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2308 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2309
b37c7e5e 2310 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 2311 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 2312 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 2313
c609719b
WD
2314 I2C_SCL(bit)
2315
472d5460
YS
2316 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2317 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2318
b37c7e5e 2319 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 2320 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
ba56f625 2321 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
b37c7e5e 2322
c609719b
WD
2323 I2C_DELAY
2324
2325 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2326 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2327 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
2328 like:
2329
b37c7e5e 2330 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 2331
793b5726
MF
2332 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2333
2334 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2335 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2336 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2337 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2338
2339 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2340 the generic GPIO functions.
2341
6d0f6bcf 2342 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 2343
8bde7f77
WD
2344 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2345 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2346 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2347 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2348 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2349 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2350 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2351 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 2352
26a33504
RR
2353 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2354
2355 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2356 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2357 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2358 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2359 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2360 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2361 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2362 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2363
17ea1177
WD
2364 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2365
2366 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2367 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2368 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2369
bb99ad6d
BW
2370 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2371
2372 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
2373 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2374 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d
BW
2375 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2376
6d0f6bcf 2377 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
2378
2379 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 2380 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
2381 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2382 a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d
BW
2383
2384 e.g.
2385 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
c0f40859 2386 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d
BW
2387
2388 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2389
c0f40859 2390 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
6d0f6bcf 2391 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
bb99ad6d
BW
2392
2393 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2394
6d0f6bcf 2395 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
2396
2397 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2398 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2399
6d0f6bcf 2400 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2401
2402 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2403 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2404
6d0f6bcf 2405 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2406
2407 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2408 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2409
6d0f6bcf 2410 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
2411
2412 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2413 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2414 specified DTT device.
2415
2ac6985a
AD
2416 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2417
2418 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2419 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2420 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2421 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2422 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2423 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2424 the other.

2426- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2427

c609719b
WD
2437 CONFIG_SPI_X
2438

2441
2442 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2443
43d9616c
WD
2444 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2445 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2446 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2447 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2448 defined, the board configuration must define several
2449 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2450 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
c609719b 2451
04a9e118
BW
2452 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2453
2454 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2455 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2456 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
c0f40859 2457 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
04a9e118

GL
2460 CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2461
2462 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2e3cd1cd 2463 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
38254f45 2464
0133502e 2465- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
c609719b 2466

2479 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2480
2481 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
c609719b 2482
6d0f6bcf 2483 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
c609719b 2484
8bde7f77 2485 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
c609719b 2486
6d0f6bcf 2487 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
c609719b 2488
43d9616c
WD
2489 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2490 status by the configuration function. This option
2491 will require a board or device specific function to
2492 be written.
c609719b
WD
2493
2494 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2495
2496 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2497 configuration driver.

2504 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2505 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2506 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2507 indicated a CRC error).

6d0f6bcf 2509 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
c609719b 2510
43d9616c
WD
2511 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert

2526- Configuration Management:
2527 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2528
43d9616c
WD
2529 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2530 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2531
2532- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2533
43d9616c
WD
2534 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2535 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2536 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2537 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2538 protects these variables from casual modification by
2539 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2540 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2541 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2542
2543 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2544 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2545 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2546 these parameters.
2547
2548 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2549 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2550 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2551 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2552 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2553 read-only.]
2554
2598090b
JH
2555 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2556 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2557 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2558 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2559
c609719b
WD
2560- Protected RAM:
2561 CONFIG_PRAM
2562
2563 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2564 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2565 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2566 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2567 this default value by defining an environment
2568 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2569 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2570 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2571 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2572 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2573 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2574 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2575
fe126d8b 2576 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2577 saveenv
2578
2579 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2580 either, which results in a memory region that will
2581 not be affected by reboots.
2582
2583 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2584 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2585 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2586 following board configurations are known to be
2587 "pRAM-clean":

2593- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2594 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2595 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2596 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2597 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2598 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2599 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2600
c609719b
WD
2601- Error Recovery:
2602 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2603
2604 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2605 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2606 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2607 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2608 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2609 useful during development since you can try to debug
2610 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2611
2612 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2613
43d9616c
WD
2614 This variable defines the number of retries for
2615 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2616 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2617 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2618

2637
2638
6d0f6bcf 2639 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2640
2641 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2642 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2643 powerful command line syntax like
2644 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2645 constructs ("shell scripts").

c609719b
WD
2652
2653 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2654 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2655 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2656
2657 Note:
2658

WD
2659 In the current implementation, the local variables
2660 space and global environment variables space are
2661 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2662 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2663 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2664 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2665 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2666
43d9616c
WD
2667 Global environment variables are those you use
2668 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2669 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2670 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2671
2672 To store commands and special characters in a
2673 variable, please use double quotation marks
2674 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2675 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2676 symbols.

2678- Commandline Editing and History:
2679 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2680
11ccc33f 2681 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
b9365a26 2682 commandline input operations
aa0c71ac 2683
a8c7c708 2684- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2685 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2686
43d9616c
WD
2687 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2688 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2689 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2690
43d9616c
WD
2691 For example, place something like this in your
2692 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2693
2694 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2695 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2696 "myvar2=value2\0"
2697
43d9616c
WD
2698 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2699 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2700 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2701 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2702 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2703 You better know what you are doing here.
2704
43d9616c
WD
2705 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2706 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2707 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2708 boot command first.
c609719b 2709
5e724ca2
SW
2710 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2711
2712 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2713 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2714 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2715
2716 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2717
2718 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2719 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2720 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2721 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2722 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2723
7e27f89f
TR
2724 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2725
2726 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2727 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2728 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2729
06fd8538
SG
2730 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2731
2732 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2733 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2734 that so that the environment is not available until
2735 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2736 this is instead controlled by the value of
2737 /config/load-environment.
2738
a8c7c708 2739- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2740 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2741
8bde7f77
WD
2742 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2743 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2744 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2745
f61ec45e
EN
2746- Serial Flash support
2747 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2748
2749 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2750 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2751
2752 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2753 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2754 commands.
2755
2756 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2757 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2758 flash is present on the system.
2759
2760 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2761 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2762 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2763 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2764
24007273
SG
2765 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2766
2767 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2768 test ('sf test').
2769
1dcd6d03
JT
2770 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2771
2772 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2773 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2774
b902e07c
JT
2775 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2776
2777 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2778 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2779 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2780
3f85ce27
WD
2781- SystemACE Support:
2782 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2783
2784 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2785 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2786 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2787 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2788
2789 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2790 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2791
2792 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2793 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2794
ecb0ccd9
WD
2795- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2796 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2797
28cb9375 2798 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2799 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2800 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2801 number generator is used.
2802
28cb9375
WD
2803 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2804 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2805 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2806
2807 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2808 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2809 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2810 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2811 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2812 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2813 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2814
bf36c5d5
SG
2815- Hashing support:
2816 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2817
2818 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2819 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2820
2821 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2822
2823 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2824 size a little.
2825
2826 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2827 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2828
2829 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2830 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2831
a11f1873
RW
2832- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2833 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2834 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2835 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2836
2837 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2838 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2839 a boot from specific media.
2840
2841 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2842 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2843 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2844 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2845 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2846
19c402af
SG
2847- Signing support:
2848 CONFIG_RSA
2849
2850 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2851 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2852
2853 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2854 option.
2855
2856
a8c7c708 2857- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
2858 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2859
43d9616c
WD
2860 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2861 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2862 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2863 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2864 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2865 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 2866
3a608ca0
SG
2867- Detailed boot stage timing
2868 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2869 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2870 of the boot process.
2871
2872 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2873 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2874 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2875 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2876 the limit, recording will stop.
2877
2878 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2879 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2880
2881 Timer summary in microseconds:
2882 Mark Elapsed Stage
2883 0 0 reset
2884 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2885 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2886 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2887 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2888 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2889 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2890 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2891
2eba38cf
SG
2892 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2893 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2894 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2895
94fd1316
SG
2896 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2897 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2898 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2899 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2900 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2901 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2902 For example:
2903
2904 bootstage {
2905 154 {
2906 name = "board_init_f";
2907 mark = <3575678>;
2908 };
2909 170 {
2910 name = "lcd";
2911 accum = <33482>;
2912 };
2913 };
2914
2915 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3076 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3077 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3078 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3079 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.

3100 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3101 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3102 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3103 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3104 configured panel size.

3389- Interrupt support (PPC):
3390
d4ca31c4
WD
3391 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3392 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 3393 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 3394 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 3395 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 3396 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 3397 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
3398 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3399 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3400 general timer_interrupt().

c609719b
WD
3402- General:
3403
43d9616c
WD
3404 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3405 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3406 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
11ccc33f 3407 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
3408 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3409 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3410 initialization.
c609719b 3411
43d9616c
WD
3412 If there are no modem init strings in the
3413 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3414 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
11ccc33f 3415 suppressed, though.

3422During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3423to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3424before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3425following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3426architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3427typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

JCPV
3485- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3486 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 3487 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 3488 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3489 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3490 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3491 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3492 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3493 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3494 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
3495
3496 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3497 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3498 be touched.
3499
3500 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3501 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3502 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3503 non page size aligned address and this could cause major

3543 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3544 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
1bce2aeb 3545 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
7d721e34 3546 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3547 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e

3584 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3585 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3586
6d0f6bcf 3587- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3588
3589 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3590 without this option such a download has to be
3591 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3592 copy from RAM to flash.
3593
3594 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3595 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3596 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3597 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3598 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3599
6d0f6bcf 3600- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3601 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33

6d0f6bcf 3620- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3621 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3622 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3623 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3624 optionally available.

3626- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3627 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown

SR
3631- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3632 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3633 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3634 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3635 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3636 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3637 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3638 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3639
6d0f6bcf 3640- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f

3641 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3642 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3643 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3644 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3645 on high Ethernet traffic.

3699- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3700 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3701 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3702 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3703 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3704 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3705 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3706 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3707 your board please report the problem and send patches!

SG
3709- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3710 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3711 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3712 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3713 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.

3720The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3721of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3722following configurations:
3723
c3eb3fe4
MF
3724- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3725
3726 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3727 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3728
5a1aceb0 3729- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3730
3731 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3732
3733 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3734 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3735 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3736 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3737 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3738 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3739 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3740 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3741 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3742 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3743 between U-Boot and the environment.
3744
0e8d1586 3745 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3746
3747 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3748 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3749 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3750 for this sector is given here.
3751
6d0f6bcf 3752 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3753
0e8d1586 3754 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3755
3756 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3757 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3758 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3759
0e8d1586 3760 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3761
3762 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3763
3764
3765 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3766 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3767 the environment.
3768
0e8d1586 3769 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3770
5a1aceb0 3771 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3772 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3773 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3774 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3775
3776 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3777 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3778 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3779 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3780 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3781 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3782 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3783 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3784 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3785
0e8d1586
JCPV
3786 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3787 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
c609719b 3788
43d9616c 3789 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 3790 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 3791 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 3792 a "saveenv" operation.
c609719b
WD
3793
3794BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3795source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3796accordingly!
3797
3798
9314cee6 3799- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD
3800
3801 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3802 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3803 environment.
3804
0e8d1586
JCPV
3805 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3806 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3807
11ccc33f 3808 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
3809 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3810 can just be read and written to, without any special
3811 provision.
3812
3813BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3814in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3815console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3816U-Boot will hang.
3817
3818Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3819environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3820keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3821to save the current settings.

0e8d1586
JCPV
3829 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3830 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b

3831
3832 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3833 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3834
6d0f6bcf 3835 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3836 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3837 The default address is zero.
3838
6d0f6bcf 3839 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
3840 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3841 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3842 would require six bits.
3843
6d0f6bcf 3844 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 3845 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
ba56f625 3846 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
c609719b 3847
6d0f6bcf 3848 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3849 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3850 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3851
6d0f6bcf 3852 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
3853 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3854 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3855 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3856 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3857 byte chips.
3858
3859 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3860 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3861 in the chip address.
3862
6d0f6bcf 3863 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3864 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3865

HS
3866 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3867 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3868 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3869
3870 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3871 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3872 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3873 EEPROM. For example:
3874
ea818dbb 3875 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
548738b4
HS
3876
3877 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3878 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

057c849c 3880- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
5779d8d9 3881
d4ca31c4 3882 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
5779d8d9

3885 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3886 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3887 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
5779d8d9

3889 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3890 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3891 at the specified address.
3892
0a85a9e7
LG
3893- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3894
3895 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3896 want to use for the local device's environment.
3897
3898 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3899 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3900
3901 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3902 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3903 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 3904 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7
LG
3905
3906BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3907"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa
LG
3908environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3909but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
0a85a9e7 3910
51bfee19 3911- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
13a5695b

3920 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3921 aligned to an erase block boundary.
5779d8d9 3922
fdd813de 3923 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
e443c944 3924
0e8d1586 3925 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
3926 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3927 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 3928 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
3929 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3930
3931 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3932
3933 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3934 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3935 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3936 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3937 the range to be avoided.
3938
3939 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3940
3941 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3942 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3943 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3944 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3945 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

3947- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3948
3949 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3950 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3951 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3952

JH
3953- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3954
3955 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3956 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3957 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3958
3959 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3960
3961 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3962
3963 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3964
3965 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3966 environment in.
3967
785881f7
JH
3968 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3969
3970 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3971 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3972 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.

JH
3974 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3975 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

3980- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3981
3982 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3983 environment.
3984
3985 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3986
3987 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3988
3989 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3990
3991 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3992 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3993 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3994
3995 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3996 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3997
3998 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3999 area within the specified MMC device.
4000
5c088ee8
SW
4001 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4002 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4003 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4004 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4005 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4006 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4007 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4008
06e4ae5f
SW
4009 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4010 MMC sector boundary.
4011
4012 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4013
4014 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4015 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4016 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4017 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4018
5c088ee8
SW
4019 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4020 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4021
06e4ae5f
SW
4022 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4023 an MMC sector boundary.
4024
4025 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4026
4027 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4028 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4029 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4030
6d0f6bcf 4031- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
4032
4033 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4034 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4035 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4036 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4037 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4038 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4039 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4040
e881cb56 4041Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 4042has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 4043created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
4044until then to read environment variables.
4045
85ec0bcc
WD
4046The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4047is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4048with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4049necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4050"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4051have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
4052
4053Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4054the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 4055use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 4056
6d0f6bcf 4057- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:

4068 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4069 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4070 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4071 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

4097 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4098 PowerPC SOCs.
4099
4100- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4101 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4102 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4103
4104 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4105 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4106
4107- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4108 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4109 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 4110 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
4111 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4112 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4113 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4114
4115 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4116 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4117
4118- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
4119 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4120 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
4121 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4122 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4123
4124- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4125 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4126 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4127 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4128
4129- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4130 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4131 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

43d9616c 4151 default value.
7f6c2cbc 4152
6d0f6bcf 4153 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
43d9616c
WD
4154 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC

4190 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
c609719b 4191 data is located at the end of the available space
553f0982 4192 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
6d0f6bcf

4198 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4199 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
6d0f6bcf 4200 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
c609719b

WD
4345- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4346 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4347
4348- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4349 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
6e592385
WD
4350 to the given FEC; i. e.
4351 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
c26e454d
WD
4352 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4353
4354 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4355
4356- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4357 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4358 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4359
4360- CONFIG_RMII
4361 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4362 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4363 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4364
5cf91d6b
WD
4365- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4366 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4367 The syntax is:
4368
4369 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4370
4371 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4372 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4373 area should have.
4374
56523f12
WD
4375- CONFIG_LOOPW
4376 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
602ad3b3 4377 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
56523f12 4378
7b466641
SR
4379- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4380 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4381 "md/mw" commands.
4382 Examples:
4383
efe2a4d5 4384 => mdc.b 10 4 500
7b466641
SR
4385 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4386
efe2a4d5 4387 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
7b466641
SR
4388 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4389
efe2a4d5 4390 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
602ad3b3 4391 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
7b466641 4392
8aa1a2d1 4393- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
afc1ce82 4394 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
844f07d8
WD
4395 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4396 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4397 relocate itself into RAM.
4398
4399 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4400 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4401 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4402 these initializations itself.
8aa1a2d1 4403
401bb30b 4404- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
df81238b
ML
4405 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4406 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4407 compiling a NAND SPL.

YZ
4409- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4410 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4411 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4412 It is loaded by the SPL.
4413

YZ
4414- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4415 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4416 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4417 previous 4k of the .text section.
4418
4213fc29
SG
4419- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4420 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4421 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4422 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4423 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4424 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4425 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4426 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4427
d8834a13
MW
4428- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4429 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4430 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4431 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4432 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4433
588a13f7
SG
4434- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4435 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4436 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

4446Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4447-----------------------------------
4448
4449The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4450loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4451This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4452are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4453within that device.
4454
4455- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4456 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4457 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4458 is also specified.
4459
4460- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4461 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4462 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4463 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4464 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4465
4466- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4467 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4468 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4469 virtual address in NOR flash.
4470
4471- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4472 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4473 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4474
4475- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4476 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4477 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4478
4479- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4480 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4481 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4482
292dc6c5
LG
4483- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4484 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4485 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
4486 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4487 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4488 master's memory space.

4490Building the Software:
4491======================
4492
218ca724
WD
4493Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4494and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4495all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4496(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4497recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4498which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 4499
218ca724
WD
4500If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4501have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4502you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4503Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4504necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 4505
218ca724
WD
4506 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4507 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 4508
2f8d396b
PT
4509Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4510 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4511 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4512 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4513
4514 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4515
4516 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4517 be executed on computers running Windows.
4518
218ca724
WD
4519U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4520sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
4521is done by typing:
4522
4523 make NAME_config
4524
218ca724 4525where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 4526rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 4527
2729af9d
WD
4528Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4529 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4530 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4531 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 4532 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
4533
4534 make TQM823L_config
4535 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4536
4537 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4538 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4539
4540 etc.
4541
4542
4543Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4544images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4545
4546- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4547- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4548- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4549
baf31249
MB
4550By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4551in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4552this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4553
45541. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4555
4556 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4557 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4558 make O=/tmp/build all
4559
45602. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4561
4562 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4563 make distclean
4564 make NAME_config
4565 make all
4566
4567Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4568variable.
4569
2729af9d
WD
4570
4571Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4572for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4573native "make".
4574
4575
4576If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4577to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4578steps:
4579
45801. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
4581 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4582 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
45832. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4584 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4585 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
45863. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4587 your board
45883. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4589 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
45904. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
45915. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4592 to be installed on your target system.
45936. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4594 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4595
4596
4597Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4598==============================================================
4599
218ca724
WD
4600If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4601or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
4602provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4603the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 4604official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 4605
218ca724
WD
4606But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4607cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
4608the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4609just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
4610for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4611select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4612environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4613you can type
2729af9d
WD
4614
4615 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4616
4617or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4618
4619 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4620
218ca724
WD
4621When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4622U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4623setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4624built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4625<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4626location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4627variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
4628
4629 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4630 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4631 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4632
218ca724
WD
4633With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4634log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4635during the whole build process.

4698Environment Variables:
4699======================
4700
4701U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4702can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 4703
2729af9d
WD
4704Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4705"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4706without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4707environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4708working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4709environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 4710
c96f86ee
WD
4711Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.

c609719b 4724
7d721e34
BS
4725 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4726 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4727 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4728 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4729 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4730 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
4731 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4732 bootm_mapsize.
4733
c0f40859 4734 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
4735 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4736 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4737 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4738 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4739 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4740 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
4741
4742 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4743 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4744 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4745 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4746 environment variable.
4747

4748 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4749 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4750 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4751
2729af9d
WD
4752 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4753 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4754 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4755 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 4756
2729af9d
WD
4757 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4758 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4759 be automatically started (by internally calling
4760 "bootm")
38b99261 4761
2729af9d
WD
4762 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4763 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4764 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4765 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4766 data.
c609719b 4767

DL
4768 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4769 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
4770 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4771 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4772 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4773 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4774 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4775 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4776 access it during the boot procedure.

4778 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4779 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4780 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4781 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4782 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4783 must be accessible by the kernel.

4785 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4786 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4787 defined.

WD
4789 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4790 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4791 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4792 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4793 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4794
2729af9d
WD
4795 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4796 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4797 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4798 is usually what you want since it allows for
4799 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4800 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 4801 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
4802 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4803 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4804 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4805 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 4806
2729af9d
WD
4807 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4808 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4809 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4810 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4811 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4812 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 4813
2729af9d 4814 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 4815
2729af9d
WD
4816 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4817 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4818 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4819 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4820 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4821 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4822 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

4890The following image location variables contain the location of images
4891used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4892not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4893variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4894server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4895loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4896flash or offset in NAND flash.

4898*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4899boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4900boards use these variables for other purposes.

4926 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4927 as type string and/or serial number
4928 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4929
2729af9d
WD
4930These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4931the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4932once they have been set once.

4946Callback functions for environment variables:
4947---------------------------------------------
4948
4949For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4950when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4951be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4952deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4953effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4954
4955The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4956U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4957
4958These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4959static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4960in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4961associations. The list must be in the following format:
4962
4963 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4964 list = entry[,list]
4965
4966If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4967Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4968
4969Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4970with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4971override any association in the static list. You can define
4972CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4973".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

4976Command Line Parsing:
4977=====================
f07771cc 4978
2729af9d
WD
4979There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4980the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 4981
2729af9d
WD
4982Old, simple command line parser:
4983--------------------------------
c609719b 4984
2729af9d
WD
4985- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4986- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 4987- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
4988- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4989 for example:
fe126d8b 4990 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
4991- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4992 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 4993
2729af9d
WD
4994Hush shell:
4995-----------
c609719b 4996
2729af9d
WD
4997- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4998 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4999 until...do...done, ...
5000- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5001 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5002 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5003 command
5004
5005General rules:
5006--------------
c609719b 5007
2729af9d
WD
5008(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5009 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5010 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5011 executed anyway.
c609719b 5012
2729af9d 5013(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 5014 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
5015 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5016 variables are not executed.

5018Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5019=======================================
c609719b 5020
11ccc33f 5021Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
5022such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5023"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 5024
2729af9d
WD
5025Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5026MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5027"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 5028
2729af9d
WD
5029If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5030in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5031ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5032variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 5033
2729af9d
WD
5034o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5035 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 5036
2729af9d
WD
5037o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5038 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5039 used.
c609719b 5040
2729af9d
WD
5041o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5042 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 5043
2729af9d
WD
5044o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5045 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5046 warning is printed.
c609719b 5047
2729af9d
WD
5048o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5049 is raised.
c609719b 5050
ecee9324 5051If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 5052will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
5053may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5054The naming convention is as follows:
5055"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

c609719b 5059

5060U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5061images in two formats:
5062
5063New uImage format (FIT)
5064-----------------------
5065
5066Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5067to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5068components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5069SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5070
5071
5072Old uImage format
5073-----------------
5074
5075Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5076preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5077details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

5098Linux Support:
5099==============
c609719b 5100
2729af9d
WD
5101Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5102easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5103U-Boot.
c609719b 5104
2729af9d
WD
5105U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5106special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5107"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5108instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5109serves several purposes:
c609719b 5110
2729af9d
WD
5111- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5112 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5113 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 5114
2729af9d
WD
5115- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5116 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 5117
2729af9d
WD
5118- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5119 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5120 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5121 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5122 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5123 software is easier now.

5126Linux HOWTO:
5127============
c609719b 5128
2729af9d
WD
5129Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5130---------------------------------------
c609719b 5131
2729af9d
WD
5132U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5133configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5134(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5135Linux :-).
c609719b 5136
a47a12be 5137But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 5138
2729af9d
WD
5139Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5140include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
5141Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5142and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 5143as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 5144
c609719b 5145
2729af9d
WD
5146Configuring the Linux kernel:
5147-----------------------------
c609719b 5148
2729af9d
WD
5149No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5150device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5151
5152
5153Building a Linux Image:
5154-----------------------
c609719b 5155
2729af9d
WD
5156With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5157not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5158"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5159U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5160which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5161100% compatible format.
5162
5163Example:
5164
5165 make TQM850L_config
5166 make oldconfig
5167 make dep
5168 make uImage
5169
5170The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5171encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5172CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5173
5174* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5175
5176* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5177
5178 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5179 -R .note -R .comment \
5180 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5181
5182* compress the binary image:
5183
5184 gzip -9 linux.bin
5185
5186* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5187
5188 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5189 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5190 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 5191
c609719b 5192
2729af9d
WD
5193The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5194with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5195combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5196byte header containing information about target architecture,
5197operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5198stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5199
5200"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5201print the header information, or to build new images.
5202
5203In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5204contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5205checksum verification:
c609719b 5206
2729af9d
WD
5207 tools/mkimage -l image
5208 -l ==> list image header information
5209
5210The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5211from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5212
5213 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5214 -n name -d data_file image
5215 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5216 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5217 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5218 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5219 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5220 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5221 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5222 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5223

5224Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5225address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5226kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
5227
5228- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5229- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5230
5231So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5232
5233 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5234 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5235 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD

5241 Load Address: 0x00000000
5242 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5243
5244To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5245
5246 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5247 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

5251 Load Address: 0x00000000
5252 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5253
5254NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5255speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5256needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5257need to be uncompressed:
5258
a47a12be 5259 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d
WD
5260 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \

5272Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5273when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5274
5275 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5276 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \

5285The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5286option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5287option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5288from the image:
5289
5290 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5291 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
5292 indexed by 'position'

5294
5295Installing a Linux Image:
5296-------------------------
5297
5298To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5299you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5300
5301 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5302
5303The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5304image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5305address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5306specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5307command.
5308
5309Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5310TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5311
5312 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5313

5343Boot Linux:
5344-----------
5345
5346The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5347memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5348of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5349parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5350"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5351
5352
5353 => printenv bootargs
5354 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5355
5356 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5475More About U-Boot Image Types:
5476------------------------------
5477
5478U-Boot supports the following image types:
5479
5480 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5481 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5482 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5483 the Standalone Program.
5484 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5485 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5486 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5487 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5488 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5489 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5490 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5491 being started.
5492 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5493 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5494 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5495 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5496 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5497 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5498
5499 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5500 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5501 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5502 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5503 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5504 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5505
5506 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5507 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5508 flash memory.
5509
5510 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5511 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5512 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5513 as command interpreter.

5515Booting the Linux zImage:
5516-------------------------
5517
5518On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5519using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5520as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5521
8ac28563 5522Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
017e1f3f
MV
5523kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5524address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5525format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5526
2729af9d

5527
5528Standalone HOWTO:
5529=================
5530
5531One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5532run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5533U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5534
5535Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5536
5537"Hello World" Demo:
5538-------------------
5539
5540'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5541application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5542It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5543like that:
5544
5545 => loads
5546 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5547 ~>examples/hello_world.srec

5551 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5552
5553 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5554 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5555 Hello World
5556 argc = 7
5557 argv[0] = "40004"
5558 argv[1] = "Hello"
5559 argv[2] = "World!"
5560 argv[3] = "This"
5561 argv[4] = "is"
5562 argv[5] = "a"
5563 argv[6] = "test."
5564 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5565 Hit any key to exit ...
5566
5567 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5568
5569Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5570handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5571Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5572The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5573character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5574controlled by the following keys:
5575
5576 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5577 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5578 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5579 q - quit application

5616Minicom warning:
5617================
5618
5619Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5620"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5621consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5622Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5623especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
5624use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5625http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.

5637NetBSD Notes:
5638=============
5639
5640Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5641(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5642
5643Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5644NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5645need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5646Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5647attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5648missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5649
5650 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5651 # mkdir powerpc
5652 # ln -s powerpc machine
5653 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5654 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5655
5656Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5657and U-Boot include files.
5658
5659Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5660stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5661proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5662tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 5663meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5666Implementation Internals:
5667=========================
5668
5669The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5670implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5671inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5672hardware.
5673
5674
5675Initial Stack, Global Data:
5676---------------------------
5677
5678The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5679starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5680system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5681This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5682is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5683at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5684options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5685models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5686MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5687locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5688
218ca724 5689 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 5690 U-Boot mailing list:

5695 ...
5696
5697 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5698 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5699 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5700 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5701 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 5702 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
5703 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5704 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5705
5706 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5707 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 5708 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
5709 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5710 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5711 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5712 used.
5713
6d0f6bcf 5714 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
5715 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5716 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 5717 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
5718 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5719 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5720 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5721 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5722 you get the config right.

5726
5727It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5728code for the initialization procedures:
5729
5730* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5731 to write it.
5732
11ccc33f 5733* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
5734 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5735 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5736
5737* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5738 that.
5739
5740Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5741normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5742turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5743simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5744functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5745functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5746the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5747place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5748reserve for this purpose.
5749
5750When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5751relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5752GCC's implementation.
5753
5754For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5755 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 5756 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
5757 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5758 R5-R10: parameter passing
5759 R13: small data area pointer
5760 R30: GOT pointer
5761 R31: frame pointer
5762
e6bee808
JT
5763 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5764 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5765 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 5766
e7670f6c 5767 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
5768
5769 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5770 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5771 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5772 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5773 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5774 624 text + 127 data).

5801
5802 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5803 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

5805On NDS32, the following registers are used:

5821
5822Memory Management:
5823------------------
5824
5825U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5826MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5827
5828The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5829controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5830memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5831physical memory banks.
5832
5833U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5834TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5835booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5836to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 5837memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
5838configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5839Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5840
5841Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5842of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5843
5844So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5845this:
5846
5847 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5848 :
5849 0x0000 1FFF
5850 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5851 :
5852 :
5853
5854 :
5855 :
5856 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5857 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5858 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5859 :
5860 0x00FD FFFF
5861 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5862 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5863 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5864 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5865
5866
5867System Initialization:
5868----------------------
c609719b 5869
2729af9d 5870In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 5871(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
5872configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5873To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5874To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5875initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5876which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5877part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5878the caches and the SIU.
5879
5880Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5881preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5882(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5883on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5884programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5885simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5886banks.
5887
5888When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5889different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5890bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
58910x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5892contiguous memory starting from 0.
5893
5894Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5895and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5896Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5897pages, and the final stack is set up.
5898
5899Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5900until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5901running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5902new address in RAM.

6073* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6074 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!

6077 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6078 modification.
