8Summary:
9========

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.

37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
38the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
39scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
40companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.

169Software Configuration:
170=======================
171
172Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
173rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
174
175There are two classes of configuration variables:
176
177* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
178 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
179 "CONFIG_".
180
181* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
182 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
183 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 184 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b 185
7207b366
RD
186Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
187symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
188U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
189allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
190build.
c609719b
WD
191
192
193Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
194---------------------------------------------------
195
196For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
ab584d67 197configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
c609719b
WD
198
199Example: For a TQM823L module type:
200
201 cd u-boot
ab584d67 202 make TQM823L_defconfig
c609719b 203
7207b366
RD
204Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
205you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
206doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.

208Sandbox Environment:
209--------------------
210
211U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
212board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
213specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
214run some of U-Boot's tests.
215

219Board Initialisation Flow:
220--------------------------
221
222This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
7207b366
RD
223SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
224
225Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
226more detail later in this file.
227
228At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
229and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
230may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
231CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
232
233Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
234CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
235
236 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
237 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
238 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
db910353 239
7207b366
RD
240and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
241limitations of each of these functions are described below.
db910353
SG
242
243lowlevel_init():
244 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
245 - no global_data or BSS
246 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
247 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
248 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
249 board_init_f()
250 - this is almost never needed
251 - return normally from this function
252
253board_init_f():
254 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
255 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
256 - global_data is available
257 - stack is in SRAM
258 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
259 only stack variables and global_data
260
261 Non-SPL-specific notes:
262 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
263 can do nothing
264
265 SPL-specific notes:
266 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
267 version as needed.
268 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
269 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
270 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
271 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
272 directly)
273
274Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
275this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
276CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
277memory.
278
279board_init_r():
280 - purpose: main execution, common code
281 - global_data is available
282 - SDRAM is available
283 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
284 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
285
286 Non-SPL-specific notes:
287 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
288 there.
289
290 SPL-specific notes:
291 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
292 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
293 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
0680f1b1 294 done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
db910353
SG
295 spl_board_init() function containing this call
296 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux

300Configuration Options:
301----------------------
302
303Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
304such information is kept in a configuration file
305"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
306
307Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
308"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
309
310
7f6c2cbc
WD
311Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
312kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
313build a config tool - later.
314
315
c609719b
WD
316The following options need to be configured:
317
2628114e
KP
318- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
319
320- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.

YS
328 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
329
330 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements

66412c63
KG
334 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
335
336 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
337 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ

346
347 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
348 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
349 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
350
351 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
352 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
353
354 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
355 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
356
357 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
358 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
359 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
360 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
361

569- Tegra SoC options:
570 CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
571
572 Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
573 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
574 such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
575
5da627a4 576- Linux Kernel Interface:
c609719b
WD
577 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
578
579 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
580 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
581 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
582 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
583 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
584 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
585 Linux kernel.
c609719b 586 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 587 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
c609719b
WD
588 default environment.

590 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
591
b445bbb4 592 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
5da627a4

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

634 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
635
636 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
637 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
638 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
639 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
640 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
641 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
642 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

695- Autoboot Command:
696 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
697 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
698 define a command string that is automatically executed
699 when no character is read on the console interface
700 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
701
702 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
43d9616c
WD
703 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
704 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
705 environment value "bootargs".
c609719b
WD
706
707 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c
WD
708 The value of these goes into the environment as
709 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
710 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 711 RAM and NFS.
c609719b 712

713- Bootcount:
714 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
715 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
716 cycle, see:
717 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
718
719 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
720 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
721 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
722 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
723 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
724 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
725 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
726 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
727 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
728
c609719b
WD
729- Pre-Boot Commands:
730 CONFIG_PREBOOT
731
732 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
733 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
734 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
735 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
736 entering interactive mode.
737
738 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
739 automatically generated or modified. For an example
740 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
741 modified when the user holds down a certain
742 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
743 booting the systems
744
745- Serial Download Echo Mode:
746 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
747 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
748 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
749 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
750 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
751 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
752 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
753
602ad3b3 754- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
c609719b

852
853 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 854 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c 855 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
5b8e76c3 856 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the
907208c4 857 8xx (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
43d9616c
WD
858 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
859 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
860 initial stack and some data.

865- Removal of commands
866 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
867 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
868 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
869 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
870 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
871 simple boot procedures.
872
a5ecbe62
WD
873- Regular expression support:
874 CONFIG_REGEX
93e14596
WD
875 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
876 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
877 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
878 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
a5ecbe62 879
45ba8077
SG
880- Device tree:
881 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
882 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
883 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
884 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
885 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
886 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
887
2c0f79e4 888 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
82f766d1 889 be done using one of the three options below:
bbb0b128
SG
890
891 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
892 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
893 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
894 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
895 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
896 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 897
2c0f79e4
SG
898 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
899 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
900 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
901 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
902
903 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
904
905 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
906 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
907 still use the individual files if you need something more
908 exotic.
909
82f766d1
AD
910 CONFIG_OF_BOARD
911 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree
912 provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with
913 the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support
914 this option (see include/fdtdec.h file).
915
c609719b
WD
916- Watchdog:
917 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
918 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6 919 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
907208c4
CL
920 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx
921 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
922 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
923 available, then no further board specific code should
924 be needed to use it.
6abe6fb6
DZ
925
926 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
927 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
928 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
929 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.

975- I/O tracing:
976 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
977 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
978 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
979 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
980 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
981 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
982 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
983 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
984
985 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
986 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
987 still continue to operate.

1363 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1364 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1365 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

1367 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1368 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1369 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1370 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1371
1372 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1373 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1374 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1375 sending again an USB request to the device.

1378 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1379 This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1380
3aab70af
SS
1381 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1382 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1383 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1384 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1385 used on Android devices.
1386 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1387
1388 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1389 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1390 image format header.
1391
a588d99a 1392 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
3aab70af
SS
1393 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1394 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1395 downloaded images.
1396
a588d99a 1397 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
3aab70af
SS
1398 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1399 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1400 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
d1b5ed07
SR
1401
1402 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1403 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1404 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1405 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1406
1407 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1408 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1409 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1410 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
3aab70af 1411
0ff7e585
SR
1412 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1413 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1414 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1415 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1416 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1417 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1418 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
6f6c8630 1419 The default is "gpt" if undefined.
0ff7e585 1420
b6dd69a4
PK
1421 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1422 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1423 image to DOS MBR.
1424 This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1425 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1426 If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.

1439 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1440
1441 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1442 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1443 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1444 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1445 instead.

04e5ae79 1449 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
7d3053fb
TT
1450 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1451 support, and should also define these other macros:
1452
1453 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1454 CONFIG_VIDEO

SG
1515 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1516
b445bbb4 1517 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
676d319e
SG
1518 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1519 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1520 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1521 a per-section basis.
1522
1523
604c7d4a
HP
1524 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1525
1526 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1527 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1528 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1529 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1530 printed out.
1531 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1532 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1533 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1534 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1535 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1536 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1537 1 = 90 degree rotation
1538 2 = 180 degree rotation
1539 3 = 270 degree rotation
1540
1541 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1542 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1543
45d7f525
TWHT
1544 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1545
1546 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1547
735987c5
TWHT
1548 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1549
1550 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1551 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1552
7152b1d0 1553- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1554
8bde7f77
WD
1555 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1556 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1557 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1558 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1559 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1560 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1561 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1562 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1563
c0880485
NK
1564 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1565
1566 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1567 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
ab5645f1 1568 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
c0880485
NK
1569 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1570 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1571 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1572 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1573 there is no need to set this option.
1574
1ca298ce
MW
1575 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1576
1577 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1578 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1579 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1580 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1581 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1582 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1583
1584 Example:
1585 setenv splashpos m,m
1586 => image at center of screen
1587
1588 setenv splashpos 30,20
1589 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1590
1591 setenv splashpos -10,m
1592 => vertically centered image
1593 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

SR
1595- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1596
1597 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1598 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1599 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1600
d5011762
AG
1601- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1602
1603 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1604 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1605 bmp command.
1606
c29fdfc1 1607- Compression support:
8ef70478
KC
1608 CONFIG_GZIP
1609
1610 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1611
c29fdfc1
WD
1612 CONFIG_BZIP2
1613
1614 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1615 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1616 compressed images are supported.
1617
42d1f039 1618 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1619 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1620 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1621

WD
1622- MII/PHY support:
1623 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1624
1625 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1626
1627 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1628
1629 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1630
1631 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1632
1633 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1634 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1635
1636 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1637
1638 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1639 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1640 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1641 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1642
1643 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1644
1645 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1646 command issued before MII status register can be read
1647
c609719b

1648- IP address:
1649 CONFIG_IPADDR
1650
1651 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
11ccc33f 1652 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
c609719b 1653 determined through e.g. bootp.
1ebcd654 1654 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
c609719b
WD
1655
1656- Server IP address:
1657 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1658
11ccc33f 1659 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
c609719b 1660 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1ebcd654 1661 (Environment variable "serverip")
c609719b 1662
97cfe861
RG
1663 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1664
1665 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1666 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1667
1ebcd654
WD
1668- Gateway IP address:
1669 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1670
1671 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1672 default router where packets to other networks are
1673 sent to.
1674 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1675
1676- Subnet mask:
1677 CONFIG_NETMASK
1678
1679 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1680 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1681 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1682 forwarded through a router.
1683 (Environment variable "netmask")
1684
53a5c424
DU
1685- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1686 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1687
1688 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1689 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 1690 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
53a5c424
DU
1691 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1692 multicast group.
1693
c609719b
WD
1694- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1695 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1696
1697 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1698 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1699 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1700 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1701 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1702 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1703 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1704 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1705 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1706
1707 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1708 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1709 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1710 4th and following
1711 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1712
92ac8acc
TR
1713 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1714
1715 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1716 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1717 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1718 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1719 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1720 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1721 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1722 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1723 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1724 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1725 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1726 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1727 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1728 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1729 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1730
fe389a82 1731- DHCP Advanced Options:
1fe80d79
JL
1732 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1733 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1734
1735 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1736 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1737 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME

fe389a82 1748
5d110f0a
WC
1749 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1750 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 1751
2c00e099
JH
1752 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1753 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1754 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1755 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1756 is not available.
1757
fe389a82
SR
1758 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1759 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1760 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1761 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1762 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1763 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1764 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 1765 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
1766
1767 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1768 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1769 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 1770 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
1771 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1772 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 1773
d9a2f416
AV
1774 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1775
1776 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1777 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1778 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1779 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1780 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1781 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1782 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1783 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1784 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1785 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1786 this delay.

1788 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1789 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1790 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1791 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1792 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

1841 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1842 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1843 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1844 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1845 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
79267edd 1846 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this

1847 feature in U-Boot.

1852 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
1853 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
79267edd 1854 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO

1857 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
1858 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
1859 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
1860 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
1861 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
1862 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

c609719b
WD
2103 I2C_DELAY
2104
2105 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2106 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2107 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something

2112 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2113
2114 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2115 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2116 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2117 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.

8bde7f77
WD
2124 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2125 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2126 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2127 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2128 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2129 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2130 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2131 is run early in the boot sequence.

be5e6181
TT
2159
2160 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.

2167
2ac6985a
AD
2168 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2169
2170 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2171 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2172 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2173 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2174 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2175 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2176 the other.

2277- Configuration Management:
b2b8a696
SR
2278 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2279
2280 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2281 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2282 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2283 special image will be automatically built upon calling
6de80f21 2284 make / buildman.
b2b8a696 2285
c609719b
WD
2286 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2287
43d9616c
WD
2288 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2289 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2290
2291- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2292
43d9616c
WD
2293 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2294 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2295 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2296 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2297 protects these variables from casual modification by
2298 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2299 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2300 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2301
2302 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2303 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2304 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2305 these parameters.
2306
92ac5208
JH
2307 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2308 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2309 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2310 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2311 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2312 read-only.]
2313
2598090b
JH
2314 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2315 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2316 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2317 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2318
c609719b
WD
2319- Protected RAM:
2320 CONFIG_PRAM
2321
2322 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2323 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2324 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2325 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2326 this default value by defining an environment
2327 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2328 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2329 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2330 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2331 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2332 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2333 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2334
fe126d8b 2335 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2336 saveenv
2337
2338 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2339 either, which results in a memory region that will
2340 not be affected by reboots.
2341
2342 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2343 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2344 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2345 following board configurations are known to be
2346 "pRAM-clean":
2347
5b8e76c3 2348 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx,
1b0757ec 2349 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2eb48ff7 2350 FLAGADM
c609719b 2351
40fef049
GB
2352- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2353 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2354 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2355 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2356 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2357 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2358 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2359
c609719b
WD
2360- Error Recovery:
2361 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2362
2363 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2364 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2365 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2366 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2367 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2368 useful during development since you can try to debug
2369 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2370
2371 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2372
43d9616c
WD
2373 This variable defines the number of retries for
2374 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2375 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2376 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2377
40cb90ee
GL
2378 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2379
2380 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2381
48a3e999
TK
2382 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2383
2384 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2385 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2386 try longer timeout such as
2387 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

c609719b 2389- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2390 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
04a85b3b
WD
2391
2392 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2393
6d0f6bcf 2394 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2395
2396 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2397 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2398 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2399
2400 Note:
2401
8bde7f77
WD
2402 In the current implementation, the local variables
2403 space and global environment variables space are
2404 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2405 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2406 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2407 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2408 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2409
43d9616c
WD
2410 Global environment variables are those you use
2411 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2412 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2413 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2414
2415 To store commands and special characters in a
2416 variable, please use double quotation marks
2417 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2418 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2419 symbols.

2429
2430 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2431 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2432 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2433 and PS2.

a8c7c708 2435- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2436 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2437
43d9616c
WD
2438 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2439 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2440 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2441
43d9616c
WD
2442 For example, place something like this in your
2443 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2444
2445 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2446 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2447 "myvar2=value2\0"
2448
43d9616c
WD
2449 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2450 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2451 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2452 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2453 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2454 You better know what you are doing here.
2455
43d9616c
WD
2456 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2457 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2458 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2459 boot command first.
c609719b 2460

SW
2461 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2462
2463 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2464 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2465 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2466
2467 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2468
2469 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2470 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2471 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2472 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2473 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2474
7e27f89f
TR
2475 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2476
2477 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2478 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2479 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2480
06fd8538
SG
2481 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2482
2483 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
b445bbb4 2484 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
06fd8538
SG
2485 that so that the environment is not available until
2486 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2487 this is instead controlled by the value of
2488 /config/load-environment.
2489
a8c7c708 2490- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2491 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2492
8bde7f77
WD
2493 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2494 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2495 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2496
f61ec45e
EN
2497- Serial Flash support
2498 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2499
2500 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2501 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2502
2503 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2504 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2505 commands.
2506
2507 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2508 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2509 flash is present on the system.
2510
2511 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2512 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2513 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2514 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2515
24007273
SG
2516 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2517
2518 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2519 test ('sf test').
2520
3f85ce27
WD
2521- SystemACE Support:
2522 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2523
2524 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2525 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2526 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2527 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2528
2529 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2530 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2531
2532 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2533 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2534
ecb0ccd9
WD
2535- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2536 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2537
28cb9375 2538 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2539 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2540 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2541 number generator is used.
2542
28cb9375
WD
2543 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2544 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2545 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2546
2547 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2548 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2549 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2550 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2551 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2552 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2553 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2554

2555- bootcount support:
2556 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2557
2558 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2559 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2560
2561 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2562 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.

2563 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2564 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2565 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2566 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2567 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2568 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2569 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2570 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2571 the bootcounter.
2572 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

a8c7c708 2574- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
2575 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2576
43d9616c
WD
2577 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2578 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2579 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2580 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2581 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2582 the following checkpoints are implemented:

2798
2799 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
2800 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
2801 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
2802 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
2803 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
2804 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
2805
2806 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
2807 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
2808 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
2809 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
2810 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
2811
2812 default: 4096
c654b517 2813
ff94bc40
HS
2814 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
2815 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
2816 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
2817 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
2818 flash), this value is ignored.
2819
2820 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
2821 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
2822 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
2823 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
2824 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
2825 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
2826
2827 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
2828 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
2829 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
2830 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
2831 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
2832 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
2833 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
2834 partition.
2835
2836 default: 20
2837
2838 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
2839 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
2840 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
2841 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
2842 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
2843 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
2844 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
2845 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
2846 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
2847 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
2848 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
2849 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
2850
2851 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
2852 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
2853 without a fastmap.

3071 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

3073- Interrupt support (PPC):
3074
d4ca31c4
WD
3075 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3076 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 3077 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 3078 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 3079 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 3080 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 3081 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
3082 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3083 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3084 general timer_interrupt().

3087Board initialization settings:
3088------------------------------
3089
3090During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3091to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3092before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3093following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3094architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3095typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3096
3097- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3098- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3099- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3100- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

3102Configuration Settings:
3103-----------------------
3104
4d1fd7f1
YS
3105- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3106 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3107
6d0f6bcf 3108- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
c609719b
WD
3109 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3110
2fb2604d
PT
3111- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3112 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3113
6d0f6bcf 3114- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
c609719b
WD
3115 prompt for user input.
3116
6d0f6bcf 3117- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
c609719b 3118
6d0f6bcf 3119- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
c609719b 3120
6d0f6bcf 3121- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
c609719b 3122
6d0f6bcf 3123- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
c609719b
WD
3124 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3125 booted
3126
6d0f6bcf 3127- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b
WD
3128 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3129
6d0f6bcf 3130- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
3131 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3132 simple memory test.
3133
6d0f6bcf 3134- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
8bde7f77 3135 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
c609719b 3136
6d0f6bcf 3137- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
5f535fe1
WD
3138 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3139 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3140
e8149522 3141- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
e61a7534 3142 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
e8149522
YS
3143 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3144 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3145 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
e61a7534 3146 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
e8149522
YS
3147 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3148 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3149
aabd7ddb 3150- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
6d0f6bcf 3151 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 3152 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 3153 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3154 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3155 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3156 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3157 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3158 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3159 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
3160
3161 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3162 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3163 be touched.
3164
3165 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3166 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3167 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3168 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3169 problems.
3170
6d0f6bcf 3171- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
c609719b
WD
3172 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3173
6d0f6bcf 3174- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3175 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3176
6d0f6bcf 3177- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3178 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3179
6d0f6bcf 3180- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3181 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3182 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 3183 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 3184 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 3185
6d0f6bcf 3186- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
3187 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3188 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3189 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3190 flash sector.
c609719b 3191
6d0f6bcf 3192- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3193 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3194
d59476b6
SG
3195- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3196 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3197 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3198 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3199 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3200 space.
3201
3202 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3203 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3204 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
b445bbb4 3205 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
d59476b6
SG
3206 U-Boot relocates itself.
3207
38687ae6
SG
3208- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3209 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3210 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3211 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3212
1dfdd9ba
TR
3213- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3214 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3215 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3216 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3217 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3218 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3219 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3220 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3221 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3222 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3223 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3224 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3225 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3226 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3227 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3228 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3229
3230 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3231
6d0f6bcf 3232- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
3233 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3234 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 3235 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
3236 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3237
6d0f6bcf 3238- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
3239 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3240 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
3241 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3242 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
1bce2aeb 3243 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
7d721e34 3244 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3245 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
3246 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3247 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3248 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 3249
fca43cc8
JR
3250- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3251 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3252 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3253 is enabled.
3254
3255- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3256 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3257 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3258
3259- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3260 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3261 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3262
6d0f6bcf 3263- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
3264 Max number of Flash memory banks
3265
6d0f6bcf 3266- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
c609719b

3267 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3268
6d0f6bcf 3269- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3270 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)

6d0f6bcf 3272- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3273 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)

3276 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3277
6d0f6bcf 3278- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3279 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3280
6d0f6bcf 3281- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
3282 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3283 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3284
6d0f6bcf 3285- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3286
3287 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3288 without this option such a download has to be
3289 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3290 copy from RAM to flash.
3291
3292 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3293 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3294 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3295 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3296 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3297
6d0f6bcf 3298- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3299 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
3300 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3301
00b1883a 3302- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33
WD
3303 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3304 in the drivers directory
c609719b 3305
91809ed5
PZ
3306- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3307 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3308 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3309 to the MTD layer.
3310
6d0f6bcf 3311- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
3312 Use buffered writes to flash.
3313
3314- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3315 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3316 write commands.
3317
6d0f6bcf 3318- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3319 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3320 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3321 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3322 optionally available.
3323
9a042e9c
JVB
3324- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3325 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3326 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3327 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3328
352ef3f1
SR
3329- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3330 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3331 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3332 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3333 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3334 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3335 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3336 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3337
6d0f6bcf 3338- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
3339 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3340 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3341 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3342 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3343 on high Ethernet traffic.
53cf9435
SR
3344 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3345
ea882baf
WD
3346- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3347
071bc923
WD
3348 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3349 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3350 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3351 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3352 lib/hashtable.c for details.
ea882baf 3353
2598090b
JH
3354- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3355- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
1bce2aeb 3356 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
2598090b
JH
3357 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3358 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3359 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.

b445bbb4 3384 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
2598090b
JH
3385
3386 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3387 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3388 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3389 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3390 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3391 ".flags" variable.

3401- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3402 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this

3404 building U-Boot to enable this.
3405
c609719b
WD
3406The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3407of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3408following configurations:
3409
c3eb3fe4
MF
3410- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3411
3412 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3413 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3414
5a1aceb0 3415- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3416
3417 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3418
3419 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3420 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3421 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3422 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3423 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3424 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3425 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3426 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3427 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3428 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3429 between U-Boot and the environment.
3430
0e8d1586 3431 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3432
3433 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3434 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3435 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3436 for this sector is given here.
3437
6d0f6bcf 3438 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3439
0e8d1586 3440 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3441
3442 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3443 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3444 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3445
0e8d1586 3446 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3447
3448 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3449
3450
3451 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3452 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3453 the environment.
3454
0e8d1586 3455 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3456
5a1aceb0 3457 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3458 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3459 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3460 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3461
3462 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3463 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3464 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3465 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3466 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3467 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3468 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3469 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3470 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3471
0e8d1586
JCPV
3472 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3473 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
c609719b 3474
43d9616c 3475 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 3476 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 3477 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 3478 a "saveenv" operation.
c609719b
WD
3479

11ccc33f 3494 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
3495 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3496 can just be read and written to, without any special
3497 provision.
3498
3499BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
b445bbb4 3500in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3501console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3502U-Boot will hang.
3503
3504Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3505environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3506keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3507to save the current settings.

WD
3538 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3539 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3540
6d0f6bcf 3541 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
3542 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3543 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3544 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3545 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3546 byte chips.
3547
3548 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3549 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3550 in the chip address.
3551
6d0f6bcf 3552 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:

3601 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3602 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
9dd05fb8 3603 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
bd83b592

3605
3606 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
3607 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):

3623
3624 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3625 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3626
3627 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3628 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3629 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 3630 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7

0e8d1586 3651 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
3652 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3653 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
9dd05fb8 3654 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
3655 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3656
3657 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3658
3659 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3660 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3661 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3662 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3663 the range to be avoided.
3664
3665 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3666
3667 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3668 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The

3679- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3680
3681 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3682 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3683 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3684
3685 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3686
3687 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3688
3689 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:

785881f7
JH
3694 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3695
3696 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3697 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3698 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.

3706- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
3707 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
3708
3709 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
3710
3711 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
3712
41987784 3713 - FAT_ENV_DEVICE_AND_PART:
d1db76f1
WJ
3714
3715 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
3716 be as following:
3717
3718 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
3719 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
3720 partition table.
3721 - "D:0": device D.
3722 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
3723 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
3724 table.
3725 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
b445bbb4 3726 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
d1db76f1
WJ
3727 partition table then means device D.
3728
3729 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
3730
3731 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
b445bbb4 3732 environment.
d1db76f1

3737- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3738
3739 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3740 environment.
3741
3742 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3743
3744 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3745
3746 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3747
3748 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3749 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3750 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3751
3752 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3753 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3754
3755 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3756 area within the specified MMC device.
3757
5c088ee8
SW
3758 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3759 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3760 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3761 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3762 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3763 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3764 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3765
06e4ae5f
SW
3766 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3767 MMC sector boundary.
3768
3769 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3770
3771 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3772 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3773 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3774 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3775
5c088ee8
SW
3776 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3777 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3778
06e4ae5f
SW
3779 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3780 an MMC sector boundary.
3781
3782 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3783
3784 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3785 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3786 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3787
e881cb56 3788Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 3789has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 3790created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
3791until then to read environment variables.
3792
85ec0bcc
WD
3793The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3794is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3795with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3796necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3797"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3798have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
3799
3800Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3801the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 3802use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

3815 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3816 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving

3849- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3850 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3851 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 3852 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
3853 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3854 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3855 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3856
3857 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3858 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3859
3860- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
3861 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3862 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
3863 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3864 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3865
3866- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3867 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3868 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3869 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3870
3871- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3872 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3873 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

WD
3927
3928 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3929 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
3930 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
c609719b 3931 data is located at the end of the available space
553f0982 3932 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
acd51f9d 3933 GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3934 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
3935 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
c609719b

3936
3937 Note:
3938 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
3939 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
6d0f6bcf 3940 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
c609719b

3941 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
3942 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4042- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4043 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4044 The syntax is:
4045
4046 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4047

4052- CONFIG_LOOPW
4053 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
602ad3b3 4054 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
56523f12 4055
7b466641
SR
4056- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4057 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4058 "md/mw" commands.
4059 Examples:
4060
efe2a4d5 4061 => mdc.b 10 4 500
7b466641
SR
4062 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4063
efe2a4d5 4064 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10

SR
4065 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4066
efe2a4d5 4067 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
602ad3b3 4068 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
7b466641 4069
8aa1a2d1 4070- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
afc1ce82 4071 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
844f07d8
WD
4072 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4073 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4074 relocate itself into RAM.
4075
4076 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4077 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4078 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4079 these initializations itself.
8aa1a2d1 4080
b5bd0982
SG
4081- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4082 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
90211f77 4083 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
b5bd0982
SG
4084 instruction cache) is still performed.

401bb30b 4086- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
df81238b
ML
4087 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4088 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4089 compiling a NAND SPL.

4099 previous 4k of the .text section.
4100
4213fc29
SG
4101- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4102 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4103 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4104 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4105 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4106 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4107 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4108 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4109
588a13f7
SG
4110- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4111 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4112 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

4122Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4123-----------------------------------
4124
4125The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4126loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4127This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4128are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4129within that device.
4130
dcf1d774
ZQ
4131- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4132 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4133 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4134 is also specified.
4135
4136- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4137 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
f2717b47
TT
4138 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4139 is also specified.
4140
4141- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4142 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4143 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4144 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4145 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4146
4147- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4148 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4149 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4150 virtual address in NOR flash.
4151
4152- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4153 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4154 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4155
4156- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4157 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4158 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4159
292dc6c5
LG
4160- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4161 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4162 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
4163 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4164 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4165 master's memory space.

4167Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4168---------------------------------------------------------
4169The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4170"firmware".
4171This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4172are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4173within that device.
4174
4175- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4176 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.

4178Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4179-------------------------------------------
4180The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of

4187Reproducible builds
4188-------------------
4189
4190In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4191process have to be set to a fixed value.
4192
4193This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4194SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4195option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4196
4197SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.

4199Building the Software:
4200======================
4201
218ca724
WD
4202Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4203and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4204all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4205(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4206recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4207which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 4208
218ca724
WD
4209If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4210have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4211you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4212Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4213necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 4214
218ca724
WD
4215 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4216 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 4217
2f8d396b
PT
4218Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4219 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4220 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4221 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4222
4223 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4224
4225 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4226 be executed on computers running Windows.
4227
218ca724
WD
4228U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4229sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
4230is done by typing:
4231
ab584d67 4232 make NAME_defconfig
c609719b 4233
ab584d67 4234where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 4235rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 4236
2729af9d
WD
4237Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4238 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4239 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4240 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 4241 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d 4242
ab584d67 4243 make TQM823L_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
4244 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4245
ab584d67 4246 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
4247 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4248
4249 etc.
4250
4251
4252Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4253images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4254
4255- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4256- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4257- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4258
baf31249
MB
4259By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4260in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4261this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4262
42631. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4264
4265 make O=/tmp/build distclean
ab584d67 4266 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
baf31249
MB
4267 make O=/tmp/build all
4268
adbba996 42692. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
baf31249 4270
adbba996 4271 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
baf31249 4272 make distclean
ab584d67 4273 make NAME_defconfig
baf31249
MB
4274 make all
4275
adbba996 4276Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
baf31249
MB
4277variable.
4278
2729af9d
WD
4279
4280Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4281for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4282native "make".
4283
4284
4285If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4286to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4287steps:
4288
3c1496cd 42891. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
2729af9d 4290 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3c1496cd
PS
4291 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
42922. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4293 your board.
2729af9d
WD
42943. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4295 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
ab584d67 42964. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
2729af9d
WD
42975. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4298 to be installed on your target system.
42996. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4300 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4301
4302
4303Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4304==============================================================
4305
218ca724
WD
4306If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4307or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
4308provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4309the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 4310official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 4311
218ca724
WD
4312But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4313cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d 4314the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
6de80f21
SG
4315just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4316configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4317will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4318for documentation.

4381Environment Variables:
4382======================
4383
4384U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4385can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 4386
2729af9d
WD
4387Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4388"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4389without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4390environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4391working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4392environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 4393
c96f86ee
WD
4394Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4395
4396List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
c609719b 4397
2729af9d 4398 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
c609719b 4399
2729af9d 4400 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
c609719b 4401
2729af9d 4402 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 4403
2729af9d 4404 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 4405
2729af9d 4406 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 4407
7d721e34
BS
4408 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4409 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4410 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4411 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4412 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4413 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
4414 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4415 bootm_mapsize.
4416
c0f40859 4417 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
4418 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4419 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4420 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4421 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4422 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4423 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
4424
4425 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4426 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4427 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4428 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4429 environment variable.
4430
4bae9090
BS
4431 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4432 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4433 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4434
2729af9d
WD
4435 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4436 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4437 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4438 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 4439
2729af9d
WD
4440 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4441 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4442 be automatically started (by internally calling
4443 "bootm")
38b99261 4444
2729af9d
WD
4445 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4446 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4447 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4448 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4449 data.
c609719b 4450
a28afca5
DL
4451 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4452 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
4453 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4454 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4455 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4456 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4457 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4458 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4459 access it during the boot procedure.
4460
a28afca5
DL
4461 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4462 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4463 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4464 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4465 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4466 must be accessible by the kernel.
4467
eea63e05
SG
4468 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4469 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4470 defined.
4471
17ea1177
WD
4472 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4473 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4474 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4475 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4476 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4477
2729af9d
WD
4478 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4479 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4480 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4481 is usually what you want since it allows for
4482 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4483 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 4484 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
4485 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4486 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4487 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4488 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 4489
2729af9d
WD
4490 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4491 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4492 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4493 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4494 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4495 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 4496
2729af9d 4497 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 4498
2729af9d
WD
4499 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4500 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4501 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4502 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4503 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4504 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4505 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 4506
2729af9d 4507 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 4508
2729af9d
WD
4509 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4510 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
c609719b 4511
2729af9d 4512 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
a3d991bd 4513
2729af9d 4514 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
a3d991bd 4515
2729af9d 4516 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
a3d991bd 4517
2729af9d 4518 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
a3d991bd 4519
2729af9d 4520 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
c609719b 4521
e2a53458 4522 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
c609719b 4523
e2a53458
MF
4524 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4525 For example you can do the following
c609719b 4526
48690d80
HS
4527 => setenv ethact FEC
4528 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4529 => setenv ethact SCC
4530 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
c609719b 4531
e1692577
MF
4532 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4533 available network interfaces.
4534 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4535
c96f86ee 4536 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
4537 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4538 When set to "once" the network operation will
4539 fail when all the available network interfaces
4540 are tried once without success.
4541 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4542 themselves.
c609719b 4543
b4e2f89d 4544 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 4545
b445bbb4 4546 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
8d51aacd
SG
4547 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4548 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4549 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4550 is silent.
4551
f5fb7346 4552 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
4553 UDP source port.
4554
f5fb7346 4555 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
28cb9375
WD
4556 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4557
c96f86ee
WD
4558 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4559 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4560
4561 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4562 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4563 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4564 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4565 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4566 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4567 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4568
f5fb7346
AA
4569 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
4570 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
4571 can happen during a single file transfer before that
4572 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
4573 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
4574 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
4575 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
4576
c96f86ee 4577 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 4578 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 4579 VLAN tagged frames.
c609719b 4580
50768f5b
AM
4581 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
4582 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
4583 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
4584 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
4585 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
4586
dc0b7b0e
JH
4587The following image location variables contain the location of images
4588used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4589not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4590variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4591server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4592loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4593flash or offset in NAND flash.
4594
4595*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
aed9fed9 4596boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
dc0b7b0e
JH
4597boards use these variables for other purposes.

4608depending the information provided by your boot server:
c609719b 4609
2729af9d
WD
4610 bootfile - see above
4611 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4612 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4613 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4614 hostname - Target hostname
4615 ipaddr - see above
4616 netmask - Subnet Mask
4617 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4618 serverip - see above
c1551ea8 4619
c1551ea8 4620
2729af9d 4621There are two special Environment Variables:
c1551ea8 4622
2729af9d
WD
4623 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4624 as type string and/or serial number
4625 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4626
2729af9d
WD
4627These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4628the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4629once they have been set once.
c609719b 4630
f07771cc 4631
2729af9d 4632Further special Environment Variables:
f07771cc 4633
2729af9d
WD
4634 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4635 with the "version" command. This variable is
4636 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
f07771cc 4637
f07771cc 4638

4643Callback functions for environment variables:
4644---------------------------------------------
4645
4646For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
b445bbb4 4647when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
170ab110
JH
4648be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4649deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4650effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4651
4652The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4653U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4654
4655These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4656static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4657in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4658associations. The list must be in the following format:
4659
4660 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4661 list = entry[,list]
4662
4663If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4664Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4665
4666Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4667with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4668override any association in the static list. You can define
4669CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
b445bbb4 4670".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
170ab110 4671
bdf1fe4e
JH
4672If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4673regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
4674the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.

4677Command Line Parsing:
4678=====================
f07771cc 4679
2729af9d
WD
4680There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4681the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 4682
2729af9d
WD
4683Old, simple command line parser:
4684--------------------------------
c609719b 4685
2729af9d
WD
4686- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4687- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 4688- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
4689- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4690 for example:
fe126d8b 4691 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
4692- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4693 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 4694
2729af9d
WD
4695Hush shell:
4696-----------
c609719b 4697
2729af9d
WD
4698- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4699 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4700 until...do...done, ...
4701- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4702 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4703 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4704 command
4705
4706General rules:
4707--------------
c609719b 4708
2729af9d
WD
4709(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4710 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4711 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4712 executed anyway.
c609719b 4713
2729af9d 4714(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 4715 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
4716 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4717 variables are not executed.
c609719b 4718
2729af9d
WD
4719Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4720=======================================
c609719b 4721
11ccc33f 4722Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
4723such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4724"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 4725
2729af9d
WD
4726Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4727MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4728"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 4729
2729af9d
WD
4730If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4731in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4732ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4733variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 4734
2729af9d
WD
4735o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4736 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 4737
2729af9d
WD
4738o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4739 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4740 used.
c609719b 4741
2729af9d
WD
4742o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4743 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 4744
2729af9d
WD
4745o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4746 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4747 warning is printed.
c609719b 4748
2729af9d 4749o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
bef1014b
JH
4750 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
4751 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
c609719b 4752
ecee9324 4753If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 4754will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
4755may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4756The naming convention is as follows:
4757"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

4762U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4763images in two formats:
4764
4765New uImage format (FIT)
4766-----------------------
4767
4768Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4769to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4770components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4771SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4772
4773
4774Old uImage format
4775-----------------
4776
4777Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4778preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4779details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

4800Linux Support:
4801==============
c609719b 4802
2729af9d
WD
4803Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4804easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4805U-Boot.
c609719b 4806
2729af9d
WD
4807U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4808special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4809"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4810instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4811serves several purposes:
c609719b 4812
2729af9d
WD
4813- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4814 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4815 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 4816
2729af9d
WD
4817- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4818 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 4819
2729af9d
WD
4820- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4821 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4822 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4823 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4824 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4825 software is easier now.

4828Linux HOWTO:
4829============
c609719b 4830
2729af9d
WD
4831Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4832---------------------------------------
c609719b 4833
2729af9d
WD
4834U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4835configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4836(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4837Linux :-).
c609719b 4838
a47a12be 4839But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 4840
2729af9d
WD
4841Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4842include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
4843Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4844and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 4845as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 4846
2eb31b13
SG
4847Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
4848If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
4849is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
4850doc/driver-model.
4851
c609719b 4852
2729af9d
WD
4853Configuring the Linux kernel:
4854-----------------------------
c609719b 4855
2729af9d
WD
4856No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4857device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4858
4859
4860Building a Linux Image:
4861-----------------------
c609719b 4862
2729af9d
WD
4863With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4864not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4865"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4866U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4867which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4868100% compatible format.
4869
4870Example:
4871
ab584d67 4872 make TQM850L_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
4873 make oldconfig
4874 make dep
4875 make uImage
4876
4877The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4878encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4879CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4880
4881* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4882
4883* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4884
4885 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4886 -R .note -R .comment \
4887 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4888
4889* compress the binary image:
4890
4891 gzip -9 linux.bin
4892
4893* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4894
4895 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4896 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4897 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 4898
c609719b 4899
2729af9d
WD
4900The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4901with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4902combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4903byte header containing information about target architecture,
4904operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4905stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4906
4907"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4908print the header information, or to build new images.
4909
4910In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4911contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4912checksum verification:
c609719b 4913
2729af9d
WD
4914 tools/mkimage -l image
4915 -l ==> list image header information
4916
4917The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4918from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4919
4920 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4921 -n name -d data_file image
4922 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4923 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4924 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4925 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4926 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4927 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4928 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4929 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4930
69459791
WD
4931Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4932address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4933kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
4934
4935- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4936- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4937
4938So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4939
4940 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4941 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 4942 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD
4943 > examples/uImage.TQM850L

4948 Load Address: 0x00000000
4949 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4950
4951To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4952
4953 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
4954 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

4958 Load Address: 0x00000000
4959 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4960
4961NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4962speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4963needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4964need to be uncompressed:
4965
a47a12be 4966 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d
WD
4967 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4968 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 4969 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \

4977
4978
4979Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
4980when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
4981
4982 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
4983 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
4984 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

4990 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4991

4992The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
4993option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
4994option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
4995from the image:
4996
f41f5b7c
GMF
4997 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
4998 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
4999 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5000 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'

5003Installing a Linux Image:
5004-------------------------
5005
5006To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5007you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5008
5009 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5010
5011The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5012image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5013address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5014specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5015command.
5016
5017Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5018TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5019
5020 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5021
5022 .......... done
5023 Erased 8 sectors
5024
5025 => loads 40100000
5026 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5034
5035
5036You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
218ca724 5037this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data

5054The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5055memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5056of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5057parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5058"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5059
5060
5061 => printenv bootargs
5062 bootargs=root=/dev/ram

5183More About U-Boot Image Types:
5184------------------------------
5185
5186U-Boot supports the following image types:
5187
5188 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5189 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5190 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5191 the Standalone Program.
5192 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5193 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5194 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5195 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5196 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5197 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5198 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5199 being started.
5200 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5201 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5202 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5203 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5204 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5205 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5206
5207 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5208 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5209 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5210 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5211 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5212 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5213
5214 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5215 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5216 flash memory.
5217
5218 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5219 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5220 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5221 as command interpreter.

5223Booting the Linux zImage:
5224-------------------------
5225
5226On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5227using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5228as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5229
8ac28563 5230Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
017e1f3f
MV
5231kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5232address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5233format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5236Standalone HOWTO:
5237=================
5238
5239One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5240run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5241U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5242
5243Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5244
5245"Hello World" Demo:
5246-------------------
5247
5248'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5249application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5250It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5251like that:
5252
5253 => loads
5254 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5255 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
5256 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5257 [file transfer complete]
5258 [connected]
5259 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5260
5261 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5262 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5263 Hello World
5264 argc = 7
5265 argv[0] = "40004"
5266 argv[1] = "Hello"
5267 argv[2] = "World!"
5268 argv[3] = "This"
5269 argv[4] = "is"
5270 argv[5] = "a"
5271 argv[6] = "test."
5272 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5273 Hit any key to exit ...
5274
5275 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5276
5277Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5278handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5279Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5280The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5281character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5282controlled by the following keys:
5283
5284 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5285 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5286 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5287 q - quit application
5288
5289 => loads

5324Minicom warning:
5325================
5326
5327Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5328"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5329consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5330Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5331especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
5332use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5333http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5334for help with kermit.
5335

5336
5337Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5338configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:

5345NetBSD Notes:
5346=============
5347
5348Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5349(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5350
5351Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5352NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5353need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5354Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5355attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5356missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5357
5358 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5359 # mkdir powerpc
5360 # ln -s powerpc machine
5361 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5362 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5363
5364Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5365and U-Boot include files.
5366
5367Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5368stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5369proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5370tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 5371meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5374Implementation Internals:
5375=========================
5376
5377The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5378implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5379inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5380hardware.
5381
5382
5383Initial Stack, Global Data:
5384---------------------------
5385
5386The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5387starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5388system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5389This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5390is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5391at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5392options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5393models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5394MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5395locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5396
218ca724 5397 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 5398 U-Boot mailing list:

5403 ...
5404
5405 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5406 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5407 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5408 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5409 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 5410 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
5411 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5412 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5413
5414 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5415 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 5416 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
5417 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5418 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5419 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5420 used.
5421
6d0f6bcf 5422 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
5423 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5424 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 5425 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
5426 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5427 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5428 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5429 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5430 you get the config right.

5434
5435It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5436code for the initialization procedures:
5437
5438* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5439 to write it.
5440
b445bbb4 5441* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
2729af9d
WD
5442 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5443 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5444
5445* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5446 that.
5447
5448Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
b445bbb4 5449normal global data to share information between the code. But it
2729af9d
WD
5450turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5451simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5452functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5453functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5454the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5455place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5456reserve for this purpose.
5457
5458When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5459relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5460GCC's implementation.
5461
5462For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5463 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 5464 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
5465 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5466 R5-R10: parameter passing
5467 R13: small data area pointer
5468 R30: GOT pointer
5469 R31: frame pointer
5470
e6bee808
JT
5471 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5472 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5473 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 5474
e7670f6c 5475 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
5476
5477 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5478 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5479 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5480 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5481 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5482 624 text + 127 data).
5483
5484On ARM, the following registers are used:
5485
5486 R0: function argument word/integer result
5487 R1-R3: function argument word
12eba1b4
JH
5488 R9: platform specific
5489 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
2729af9d
WD
5490 R11: argument (frame) pointer
5491 R12: temporary workspace
5492 R13: stack pointer
5493 R14: link register
5494 R15: program counter
5495
12eba1b4
JH
5496 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data

5506 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

5508On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5509
5510 R0-R1: argument/return
5511 R2-R5: argument
5512 R15: temporary register for assembler
5513 R16: trampoline register
5514 R28: frame pointer (FP)
5515 R29: global pointer (GP)
5516 R30: link register (LP)
5517 R31: stack pointer (SP)

5524
5525Memory Management:
5526------------------
5527
5528U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5529MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5530
5531The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5532controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5533memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5534physical memory banks.
5535
5536U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5537TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5538booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5539to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 5540memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
5541configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5542Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5543
5544Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5545of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5546
5547So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5548this:
5549
5550 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5551 :
5552 0x0000 1FFF
5553 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5554 :
5555 :
5556
5557 :
5558 :
5559 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5560 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5561 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5562 :
5563 0x00FD FFFF
5564 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5565 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5566 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5567 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5568
5569
5570System Initialization:
5571----------------------
c609719b 5572
2729af9d 5573In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 5574(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
b445bbb4 5575configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
2729af9d
WD
5576To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5577To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5578initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
2eb48ff7
HS
5579which provide such a feature like), or in a locked part of the data
5580cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, the caches and
5581the SIU.
2729af9d
WD
5582
5583Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5584preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5585(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5586on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5587programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5588simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5589banks.
5590
5591When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5592different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5593bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
55940x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5595contiguous memory starting from 0.
5596
5597Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5598and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5599Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5600pages, and the final stack is set up.
5601
5602Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5603until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5604running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5605new address in RAM.

5682Coding Standards:
5683-----------------
c609719b 5684
2729af9d 5685All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
2c051651 5686coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
7ca9296e 5687"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
2c051651
DZ
5688
5689Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5690MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
b445bbb4 5691reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
2c051651
DZ
5692sources.
5693
5694Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5695Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5696in your code.
c609719b 5697
2729af9d
WD
5698Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5699- remove any trailing white space
7ca9296e 5700- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
2729af9d 5701- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
7ca9296e 5702- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
2729af9d 5703- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
180d3f74 5704
2729af9d
WD
5705Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5706with a request to reformat the changes.

5709Submitting Patches:
5710-------------------
c609719b 5711
2729af9d
WD
5712Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5713establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5714may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
c609719b 5715
0d28f34b 5716Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
218ca724 5717
0668236b
WD
5718Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5719see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5720

5721When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5722it:
c609719b 5723
2729af9d
WD
5724* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5725 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5726 patch actually fixes something.
c609719b 5727
2729af9d
WD
5728* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5729 implementation.
c609719b 5730
2729af9d 5731* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
c609719b 5732
7207b366
RD
5733* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
5734 information and associated file and directory references.
c609719b 5735
27af930e
AA
5736* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
5737 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
c609719b 5738
2729af9d
WD
5739* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5740 document these in the README file.
c609719b 5741
218ca724
WD
5742* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5743 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 5744 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
5745 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5746 with some other mail clients.
5747
5748 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5749 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5750 GNU diff.
c609719b 5751
218ca724
WD
5752 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5753 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5754 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5755 affected files).
6dff5529 5756

WD
5757 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5758 and compressed attachments must not be used.
c609719b 5759
2729af9d
WD
5760* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5761 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
52f52c14 5762
2729af9d
WD
5763* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5764 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

2729af9d 5767Notes:
c609719b 5768
6de80f21 5769* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
2729af9d
WD
5770 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5771 for any of the boards.
c609719b 5772
2729af9d
WD
5773* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5774 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5775 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
c609719b 5776
2729af9d
WD
5777* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5778 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5779 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5780 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5781 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5782 modification.

WD
5784* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5785 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5786 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5787 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
