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

226Software Configuration:
227=======================
228
229Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
230rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
231
232There are two classes of configuration variables:
233
234* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
235 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
236 "CONFIG_".
237
238* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
239 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
240 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 241 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
242
243Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
244identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
245do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
246links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
247as an example here.
248
249
250Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
251---------------------------------------------------
252
253For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
ab584d67 254configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
c609719b
WD
255
256Example: For a TQM823L module type:
257
258 cd u-boot
ab584d67 259 make TQM823L_defconfig
c609719b 260
11ccc33f 261For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
ab584d67 262e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
c609719b
WD
263directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
264
265

SG
266Sandbox Environment:
267--------------------
268
269U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
270board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
271specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
272run some of U-Boot's tests.
273
6b1978f8 274See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.

SG
275
276
c609719b
WD
277Configuration Options:
278----------------------
279
280Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
281such information is kept in a configuration file
282"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
283
284Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
285"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
286
287
7f6c2cbc
WD
288Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
289kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
290build a config tool - later.
291

345 of relying on the correctness of the configured
346 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
347 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
348 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 349 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)

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

375
376 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
377 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
378 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
379 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
380 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
381 purpose.
382
33eee330
SW
383 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
384

387 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
388
389 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
390 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
391
392 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
393 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
394
395 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
396 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
397 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
398 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
399
400 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
401 this erratum.
402

625- Driver Model
626 Driver model is a new framework for devices in U-Boot
627 introduced in early 2014. U-Boot is being progressively
628 moved over to this. It offers a consistent device structure,
629 supports grouping devices into classes and has built-in
630 handling of platform data and device tree.
631
632 To enable transition to driver model in a relatively
633 painful fashion, each subsystem can be independently
634 switched between the legacy/ad-hoc approach and the new
635 driver model using the options below. Also, many uclass
636 interfaces include compatibility features which may be
637 removed once the conversion of that subsystem is complete.
638 As a result, the API provided by the subsystem may in fact
639 not change with driver model.
640
641 See doc/driver-model/README.txt for more information.
642
643 CONFIG_DM
644
645 Enable driver model. This brings in the core support,
646 including scanning of platform data on start-up. If
647 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is enabled, the device tree will be
648 scanned also when available.
649
650 CONFIG_CMD_DM
651
652 Enable driver model test commands. These allow you to print
653 out the driver model tree and the uclasses.
654
655 CONFIG_DM_DEMO
656
657 Enable some demo devices and the 'demo' command. These are
658 really only useful for playing around while trying to
659 understand driver model in sandbox.
660
661 CONFIG_SPL_DM
662
663 Enable driver model in SPL. You will need to provide a
664 suitable malloc() implementation. If you are not using the
665 full malloc() enabled by CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START,
666 consider using CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE. In that case you
667 must provide CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to set the size.
668 In most cases driver model will only allocate a few uclasses
669 and devices in SPL, so 1KB should be enable. See
670 CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN for more details on how to enable
671 it.
672
673 CONFIG_DM_SERIAL
674
675 Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
676 drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
677 implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
678 defined in include/serial.h.
679
680 CONFIG_DM_GPIO
681
682 Enable driver model for GPIO access. The standard GPIO
683 interface (gpio_get_value(), etc.) is then implemented by
684 the GPIO uclass. Drivers provide methods to query the
685 particular GPIOs that they provide. The uclass interface
686 is defined in include/asm-generic/gpio.h.
687
688 CONFIG_DM_SPI
689
690 Enable driver model for SPI. The SPI slave interface
691 (spi_setup_slave(), spi_xfer(), etc.) is then implemented by
692 the SPI uclass. Drivers provide methods to access the SPI
693 buses that they control. The uclass interface is defined in
694 include/spi.h. The existing spi_slave structure is attached
695 as 'parent data' to every slave on each bus. Slaves
696 typically use driver-private data instead of extending the
697 spi_slave structure.
698
699 CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH
700
701 Enable driver model for SPI flash. This SPI flash interface
702 (spi_flash_probe(), spi_flash_write(), etc.) is then
703 implemented by the SPI flash uclass. There is one standard
704 SPI flash driver which knows how to probe most chips
705 supported by U-Boot. The uclass interface is defined in
706 include/spi_flash.h, but is currently fully compatible
707 with the old interface to avoid confusion and duplication
708 during the transition parent. SPI and SPI flash must be
709 enabled together (it is not possible to use driver model
710 for one and not the other).
711
712 CONFIG_DM_CROS_EC
713
714 Enable driver model for the Chrome OS EC interface. This
715 allows the cros_ec SPI driver to operate with CONFIG_DM_SPI
716 but otherwise makes few changes. Since cros_ec also supports
717 I2C and LPC (which don't support driver model yet), a full
718 conversion is not yet possible.
719
720
721 ** Code size options: The following options are enabled by
722 default except in SPL. Enable them explicitly to get these
723 features in SPL.
724
725 CONFIG_DM_WARN
726
727 Enable the dm_warn() function. This can use up quite a bit
728 of space for its strings.
729
730 CONFIG_DM_STDIO
731
732 Enable registering a serial device with the stdio library.
733
734 CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE
735
736 Enable removing of devices.

740 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
741
742 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
743 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
744 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
745 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
746 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
747 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
748 Linux kernel.
c609719b 749 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 750 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

802 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
803 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
804 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

965 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
966 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
967 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
968 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
969 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
970 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 971 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
972 earlier bytes are discarded.
973
974 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
975 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

977- Safe printf() functions
978 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
979 the printf() functions. These are defined in
980 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
981 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
982 If this option is not given then these functions will
983 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
984 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.

986- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
987 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
988 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
93d7212f
JH
989 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
990 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
c609719b
WD
991
992 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
993 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
994 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
995 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
996 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
997 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
998 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR

1002 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
1003 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
1004
1005- Autoboot Command:
1006 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
1007 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
1008 define a command string that is automatically executed
1009 when no character is read on the console interface
1010 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
1011
1012 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
43d9616c
WD
1013 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
1014 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
1015 environment value "bootargs".
c609719b
WD
1016
1017 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c
WD
1018 The value of these goes into the environment as
1019 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
1020 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 1021 RAM and NFS.
c609719b 1022

1023- Bootcount:
1024 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1025 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
1026 cycle, see:
1027 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
1028
1029 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
1030 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1031 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1032 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1033 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1034 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1035 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1036 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1037 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1038
c609719b
WD
1039- Pre-Boot Commands:
1040 CONFIG_PREBOOT
1041
1042 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1043 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1044 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1045 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1046 entering interactive mode.
1047
1048 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1049 automatically generated or modified. For an example
1050 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1051 modified when the user holds down a certain
1052 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1053 booting the systems
1054
1055- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1056 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1057 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1058 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1059 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1060 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1061 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1062 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1063
602ad3b3 1064- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
c609719b
WD
1065 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
1066 Select one of the baudrates listed in
6d0f6bcf 1067 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.

602ad3b3
JL
1070 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1071 from the build by using the #include files
c6c621bd
SW
1072 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
1073 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
602ad3b3

1197 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 1198 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
1199 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1200 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1201 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1202 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1203 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1204 initial stack and some data.

WD
1209- Regular expression support:
1210 CONFIG_REGEX
93e14596
WD
1211 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1212 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1213 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1214 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
a5ecbe62 1215
45ba8077
SG
1216- Device tree:
1217 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1218 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1219 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1220 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1221 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1222 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1223
2c0f79e4
SG
1224 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1225 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
1226
1227 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1228 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1229 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1230 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1231 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1232 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 1233
2c0f79e4
SG
1234 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1235 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1236 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1237 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1238
1239 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1240
1241 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1242 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1243 still use the individual files if you need something more
1244 exotic.
1245
c609719b
WD
1246- Watchdog:
1247 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1248 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
1249 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1250 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1251 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1252 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1253 available, then no further board specific code should
1254 be needed to use it.
1255
1256 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1257 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1258 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1259 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
c609719b 1260
c1551ea8
SR
1261- U-Boot Version:
1262 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1263 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1264 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1265 version as printed by the "version" command.
a1ea8e51
BT
1266 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1267 next reset.
c1551ea8 1268
c609719b
WD
1269- Real-Time Clock:
1270
602ad3b3 1271 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
c609719b
WD
1272 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1273 following options:
1274
1275 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1276 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
4e8b7544 1277 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
c609719b 1278 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1cb8e980 1279 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
c609719b 1280 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
7f70e853 1281 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
412921d2 1282 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
3bac3513 1283 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
9536dfcc 1284 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
4c0d4c3b 1285 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
6d0f6bcf 1286 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
71d19f30
HS
1287 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1288 RV3029 RTC.
c609719b 1289
b37c7e5e
WD
1290 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1291 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.

PT
1293- GPIO Support:
1294 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
e92739d3 1295
5dec49ca
CP
1296 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1297 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1298 pins supported by a particular chip.
1299
e92739d3
PT
1300 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1301 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1302
aa53233a
SG
1303- I/O tracing:
1304 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1305 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1306 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1307 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1308 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1309 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1310 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1311 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1312
1313 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1314 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1315 still continue to operate.
1316
1317 iotrace is enabled
1318 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1319 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1320 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1321 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1322 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1323 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1324
c609719b
WD
1325- Timestamp Support:
1326
43d9616c
WD
1327 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1328 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1329 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 1330 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
c609719b 1331
923c46f9
KP
1332- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1333 Zero or more of the following:
1334 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1335 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1336 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1337 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1338 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1339 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1340 disk/part_efi.c
1341 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
c609719b 1342
218ca724
WD
1343 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1344 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
923c46f9 1345 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
c609719b
WD
1346
1347- IDE Reset method:
4d13cbad
WD
1348 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1349 board configurations files but used nowhere!
c609719b 1350
4d13cbad
WD
1351 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1352 be performed by calling the function
1353 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1354 which has to be defined in a board specific file
c609719b
WD
1355
1356- ATAPI Support:
1357 CONFIG_ATAPI
1358
1359 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1360
c40b2956
WD
1361- LBA48 Support
1362 CONFIG_LBA48

d791b1dc 1988
8bde7f77
WD
1989 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1990 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1991 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1992 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1993 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1994 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1995 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1996 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1997
c0880485
NK
1998 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1999
2000 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
2001 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1551df35 2002 (see README.displaying-bmps).
c0880485
NK
2003 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
2004 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
2005 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
2006 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
2007 there is no need to set this option.
2008
1ca298ce
MW
2009 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2010
2011 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2012 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2013 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2014 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2015 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2016 specify 'm' for centering the image.
2017
2018 Example:
2019 setenv splashpos m,m
2020 => image at center of screen
2021
2022 setenv splashpos 30,20
2023 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
2024
2025 setenv splashpos -10,m
2026 => vertically centered image
2027 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

2045 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2046
c29fdfc1 2047- Compression support:
8ef70478
KC
2048 CONFIG_GZIP
2049
2050 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2051
c29fdfc1
WD
2052 CONFIG_BZIP2
2053
2054 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2055 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2056 compressed images are supported.
2057
42d1f039 2058 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 2059 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 2060 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 2061
fc9c1727
LCM
2062 CONFIG_LZMA
2063
2064 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2065 images is included.
2066
2067 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2068 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2069 formula:
2070
2071 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2072
2073 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2074 and Literal pos bits.
2075
2076 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2077 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2078 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2079 a very small buffer.
2080
2081 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2082 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 2083 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
fc9c1727 2084
8ef70478
KC
2085 CONFIG_LZO

2103
2104 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2105
2106 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after

2108 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2109 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2110
2111 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)

2160 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2161 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2162 forwarded through a router.
2163 (Environment variable "netmask")
2164

2165- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2166 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2167
2168 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2169 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 2170 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
53a5c424
DU
2171 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2172 multicast group.
2173
c609719b
WD
2174- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2175 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2176
2177 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2178 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2179 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2180 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2181 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2182 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2183 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2184 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 2185 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
2186
2187 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2188 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2189 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2190 4th and following
2191 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2192
92ac8acc
TR
2193 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2194
2195 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2196 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2197 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2198 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2199 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2200 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2201 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2202 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2203 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2204 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2205 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2206 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2207 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2208 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2209 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2210
fe389a82 2211- DHCP Advanced Options:
1fe80d79
JL
2212 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2213 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2214

2230 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 2231
2c00e099
JH
2232 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2233 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2234 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2235 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2236 is not available.
2237
fe389a82
SR
2238 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2239 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2240 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2241 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2242 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2243 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2244 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 2245 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
2246
2247 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2248 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2249 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 2250 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
2251 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2252 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 2253
d9a2f416
AV
2254 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2255
2256 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2257 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2258 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2259 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2260 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2261 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2262 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2263 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2264 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2265 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2266 this delay.

2268 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2269 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network

2318- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2319
2320 Several configurations allow to display the current
2321 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2322 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2323 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2324 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2325 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2326 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2327 feature in U-Boot.
2328
1df7bbba
IG
2329 Additional options:
2330
2331 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2332 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2333 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2334 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2335 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2336
9dfdcdfe
IG
2337 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2338 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2339 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2340 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2341 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2342 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2343

2344- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2345
2346 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2347 on those systems that support this (optional)
2348 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2350- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2351
2352 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2353 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2354 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2355 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2356 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2357 interface.

2478 additional defines:
2479
2480 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2481 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2482 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2483 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2484 omit this define.
2485
2486 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2487 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2488 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2489 omit this define.
2490
2491 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2492 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2493 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2494 define.
2495
2496 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2497 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2498 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2499 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2500 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:

ea818dbb 2526- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
3f4978c7
HS
2527
2528 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2529 provides the following compelling advantages:
2530
2531 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2532 - approved multibus support
2533 - better i2c mux support
2534
2535 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2536
ea818dbb
HS
2537 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2538 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2539 for the selected CPU.
c609719b 2540
945af8d7 2541 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 2542 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
2543 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2544 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 2545 command line interface.
c609719b 2546
bb99ad6d 2547 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 2548
945af8d7 2549 There are several other quantities that must also be
ea818dbb 2550 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2551
6d0f6bcf 2552 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 2553 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 2554 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 2555 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 2556
8d321b81 2557 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 2558 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
2559 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2560 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2561 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 2562
5da71efa
EM
2563 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2564
2565 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2566 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2567 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2568 commands until the slave device responds.
2569
945af8d7 2570 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2571
ea818dbb 2572 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
b37c7e5e
WD
2573 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2574 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
2575
2576 I2C_INIT
2577
b37c7e5e 2578 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 2579 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 2580
ba56f625 2581 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)

c609719b
WD
2583 I2C_PORT
2584
43d9616c
WD
2585 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2586 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2587 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
2588
2589 I2C_ACTIVE
2590
2591 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2592 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2593 define can be null.
2594
b37c7e5e
WD
2595 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2596
c609719b
WD
2597 I2C_TRISTATE
2598
2599 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2600 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2601 define can be null.
2602
b37c7e5e

2604
c609719b
WD
2605 I2C_READ
2606

c609719b
WD
2612 I2C_SDA(bit)
2613
472d5460
YS
2614 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2615 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2616
b37c7e5e 2617 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \

c609719b
WD
2621 I2C_SCL(bit)
2622

b37c7e5e 2629
c609719b
WD
2630 I2C_DELAY
2631
2632 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2633 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2634 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7

c609719b 2638
793b5726
MF
2639 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2640
2641 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2642 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2643 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2644 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2645
2646 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2647 the generic GPIO functions.

8bde7f77
WD
2651 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2652 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2653 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2654 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2655 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2656 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2657 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2658 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 2659
26a33504
RR
2660 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2661
2662 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is

2666 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2667 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2668 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2669 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

2753 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2754 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2755 defined, the board configuration must define several
2756 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For

SR
2851 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2852
2853 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2854 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2855 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2856 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2857 make / MAKEALL.

c609719b
WD
2863
2864- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2865
43d9616c
WD
2866 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2867 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2868 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2869 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2870 protects these variables from casual modification by
2871 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2872 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2873 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2874
2875 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2876 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2877 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2878 these parameters.
2879
2880 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2881 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2882 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2883 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2884 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2885 read-only.]
2886
2598090b
JH
2887 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2888 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2889 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2890 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2891
c609719b
WD
2892- Protected RAM:
2893 CONFIG_PRAM
2894
2895 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2896 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2897 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2898 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2899 this default value by defining an environment
2900 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2901 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2902 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2903 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2904 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2905 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2906 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2907
fe126d8b 2908 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2909 saveenv
2910
2911 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2912 either, which results in a memory region that will
2913 not be affected by reboots.
2914
2915 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2916 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2917 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2918 following board configurations are known to be
2919 "pRAM-clean":

2925- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2926 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2927 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2928 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2929 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2930 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2931 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2932
c609719b
WD
2933- Error Recovery:
2934 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2935
2936 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2937 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2938 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2939 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2940 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2941 useful during development since you can try to debug
2942 the conditions that lead to the situation.

2944 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2945
43d9616c

2971 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2972
2973 Note:
2974
8bde7f77
WD
2975 In the current implementation, the local variables
2976 space and global environment variables space are
2977 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2978 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2979 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2980 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2981 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2982
43d9616c
WD
2983 Global environment variables are those you use
2984 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2985 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2986 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b

3048 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
3049 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
3050 that so that the environment is not available until
3051 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3052 this is instead controlled by the value of

3062- Serial Flash support
3063 CONFIG_CMD_SF
3064
3065 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3066 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3067
3068 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3069 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3070 commands.
3071
3072 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3073 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3074 flash is present on the system.

3095 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
3096
562f8df1
HS
3097 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
3098 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
3099 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
3100 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
3101 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
3102 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
3103 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
3104 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
3105 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
3106 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
3107

WD
3108- SystemACE Support:
3109 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3110
3111 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3112 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 3113 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 3114 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27

3123 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3124
28cb9375 3125 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 3126 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 3127 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
3128 number generator is used.
3129
28cb9375
WD
3130 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3131 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3132 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3133
3134 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
3135 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3136 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3137 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3138 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3139 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3140 but sometimes that is not allowed.

3142- Hashing support:
3143 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3144
3145 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3146 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3147
3148 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3149
3150 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3151 size a little.
3152
3153 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3154 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3155
3156 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3157 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.

3159- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3160 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3161 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3162 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3163
3164 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3165 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3166 a boot from specific media.
3167
3168 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3169 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3170 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3171 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3172 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.

3174- Signing support:
3175 CONFIG_RSA
3176
3177 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
8bf2aad7 3178 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.

3183- bootcount support:
3184 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3185
3186 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3187 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3188
3189 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3190 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3191 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3192 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3193 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3194 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3195 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3196 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3197 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3198 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3199 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3200 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3201 the bootcounter.
3202 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

c609719b
WD
3205 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3206
43d9616c
WD
3207 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3208 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3209 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3210 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3211 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3212 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 3213

SG
3214- Detailed boot stage timing
3215 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3216 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3217 of the boot process.
3218
3219 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3220 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3221 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3222 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3223 the limit, recording will stop.
3224
3225 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3226 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3227
3228 Timer summary in microseconds:
3229 Mark Elapsed Stage
3230 0 0 reset
3231 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3232 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9

3238
2eba38cf
SG
3239 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3240 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3241 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3242
94fd1316
SG
3243 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3244 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3245 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3246 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3247 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3248 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3249 For example:
3250
3251 bootstage {
3252 154 {
3253 name = "board_init_f";
3254 mark = <3575678>;
3255 };
3256 170 {
3257 name = "lcd";
3258 accum = <33482>;
3259 };
3260 };
3261
3262 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3514 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3515 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3516 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3517 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3518 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3519 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3520
3521 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3522 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3523 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3524 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3525 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3526
3527 default: 4096
c654b517 3528
ff94bc40
HS
3529 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3530 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3531 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3532 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3533 flash), this value is ignored.
3534
3535 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3536 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3537 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3538 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3539 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3540 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3541
3542 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3543 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3544 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3545 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3546 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3547 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3548 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3549 partition.
3550
3551 default: 20
3552
3553 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3554 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3555 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3556 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3557 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3558 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3559 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3560 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3561 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3562 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3563 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3564 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3565
3566 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3567 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3568 without a fastmap.

WD
3847 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3848 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 3849 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 3850 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 3851 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 3852 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 3853 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
3854 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3855 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3856 general timer_interrupt().

43d9616c
WD
3864 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3865 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3866 initialization.

WD
3868 If there are no modem init strings in the

3877
3878During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3879to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3880before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3881following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3882architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3883typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

3945 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,

11ccc33f 3947 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3948 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3949 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3950 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3951 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3952 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3953 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.

3954
3955 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3956 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3957 be touched.
3958
3959 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3960 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3961 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a

6d0f6bcf 3978- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3979 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3980 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 3981 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 3982 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 3983
6d0f6bcf 3984- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
3985 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3986 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3987 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3988 flash sector.
c609719b 3989
6d0f6bcf 3990- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3991 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3992
d59476b6
SG
3993- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3994 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3995 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3996 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3997 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3998 space.
3999
4000 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
4001 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
4002 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
4003 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
4004 U-Boot relocates itself.
4005
e7b14e9a 4006 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox

SG
4009- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
4010 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
4011 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
4012 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
4013
1dfdd9ba
TR
4014- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
4015 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
4016 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
4017 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
4018 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
4019 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
4020 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
4021 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
4022 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
4023 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
4024 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
4025 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
4026 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
4027 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
4028 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
4029 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
4030
4031 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
4032
6d0f6bcf 4033- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
4034 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
4035 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 4036 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
4037 to adjust this setting to your needs.

6d0f6bcf 4039- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
4040 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
4041 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
4042 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
4043 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
1bce2aeb 4044 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
7d721e34 4045 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 4046 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
4047 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4048 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
4049 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

4054 is enabled.
4055
4056- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
4057 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
4058 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4059
4060- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:

6d0f6bcf 4086- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
4087
4088 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4089 without this option such a download has to be
4090 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4091 copy from RAM to flash.
4092
4093 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4094 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
4095 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4096 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b

5568e613
SR
4120 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't

4131 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4132 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4133 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4134 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4135 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4136 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4137 this option if you really know what you are doing.
4138
6d0f6bcf 4139- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f

4141 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
4142 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4143 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface

4198- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4199 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4200 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4201 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4202 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4203 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4204 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4205 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4206 your board please report the problem and send patches!

c609719b
WD
4218The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4219of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4220following configurations:
4221
c3eb3fe4
MF
4222- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4223
4224 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4225 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4226
5a1aceb0 4227- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
4228
4229 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4230
4231 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4232 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4233 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4234 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4235 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4236 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4237 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4238 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4239 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4240 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4241 between U-Boot and the environment.
4242
0e8d1586 4243 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
4244
4245 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4246 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4247 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4248 for this sector is given here.
4249
6d0f6bcf 4250 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 4251
0e8d1586 4252 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
4253
4254 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4255 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 4256 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 4257
0e8d1586 4258 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
4259
4260 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4261
4262
4263 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4264 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4265 the environment.
4266
0e8d1586 4267 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 4268
5a1aceb0 4269 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 4270 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
4271 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4272 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4273
4274 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4275 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4276 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4277 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4278 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4279 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4280 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4281 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4282 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4283

4284 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4285 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
c609719b 4286
43d9616c 4287 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 4288 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 4289 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 4290 a "saveenv" operation.
c609719b

9314cee6 4297- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD
4298
4299 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4300 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4301 environment.

0e8d1586
JCPV
4303 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4304 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 4305
11ccc33f 4306 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
4307 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4308 can just be read and written to, without any special
4309 provision.
4310
4311BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4312in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 4313console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
4314U-Boot will hang.
4315
4316Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4317environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4318keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4319to save the current settings.

6d0f6bcf 4333 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
4334 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4335 The default address is zero.
4336
6d0f6bcf 4337 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
4338 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4339 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4340 would require six bits.
4341
6d0f6bcf 4342 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 4343 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
ba56f625 4344 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
c609719b 4345
6d0f6bcf 4346 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
4347 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4348 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4349
6d0f6bcf 4350 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
4351 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4352 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4353 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4354 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4355 byte chips.
4356
4357 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4358 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4359 in the chip address.
4360
6d0f6bcf 4361 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:

4369 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4370 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4371 EEPROM. For example:

ea818dbb 4373 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
548738b4

4407 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4408
4409 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4410 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4411 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4412 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4413 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4414
4415 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4416 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4417
4418 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4419
4420 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4421
4422 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4423
4424 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4425
4426 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.

4428- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4429
4430 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4431 want to use for the local device's environment.
4432
4433 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4434 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4435
4436 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4437 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4438 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 4439 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7

4440
4441BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4442"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa

4443environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4444but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

0e8d1586 4460 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
4461 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4462 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 4463 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
4464 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4465
4466 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4467
4468 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4469 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4470 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4471 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4472 the range to be avoided.
4473
4474 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4475
4476 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4477 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4478 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4479 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4480 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

4488- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4489
4490 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4491 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4492 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4493
4494 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4495
4496 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4497
4498 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4499
4500 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4501 environment in.
4502
785881f7
JH
4503 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4504
4505 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4506 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4507 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4508
2b74433f
JH
4509 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4510 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

4513 when storing the env in UBI.
4514

WJ
4515- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4516 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4517
4518 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4519
4520 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4521
4522 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4523
4524 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4525 be as following:
4526
4527 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4528 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4529 partition table.
4530 - "D:0": device D.
4531 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4532 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4533 table.
4534 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4535 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4536 partition table then means device D.
4537
4538 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4539
4540 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4541 envrionment.
4542
4543 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4544 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4545
06e4ae5f
SW
4546- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4547
4548 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4549 environment.
4550
4551 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4552
4553 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4554
4555 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4556
4557 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4558 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4559 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4560
4561 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4562 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4563
4564 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4565 area within the specified MMC device.
4566
5c088ee8
SW
4567 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4568 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4569 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4570 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4571 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4572 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4573 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4574
06e4ae5f
SW
4575 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4576 MMC sector boundary.
4577
4578 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4579
4580 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4581 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4582 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4583 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4584
5c088ee8
SW
4585 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4586 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4587
06e4ae5f
SW
4588 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4589 an MMC sector boundary.
4590
4591 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4592
4593 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4594 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4595 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4596
6d0f6bcf 4597- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
4598
4599 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4600 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4601 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4602 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4603 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4604 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4605 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4606
e881cb56 4607Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 4608has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 4609created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
4610until then to read environment variables.
4611
85ec0bcc
WD
4612The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4613is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4614with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4615necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4616"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4617have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
4618
4619Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4620the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 4621use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 4622
6d0f6bcf 4623- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
42d1f039 4624 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.

6d0f6bcf 4626 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
fc3e2165
WD
4627 also needs to be defined.
4628
6d0f6bcf 4629- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

4634 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4635 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4636 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4637 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

4639- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4640 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on

4668 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4669 PowerPC SOCs.
4670
4671- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4672 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4673 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4674
4675 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4676 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4677
4678- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4679 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4680 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 4681 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
4682 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4683 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4684 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4685
4686 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4687 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4688
4689- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
4690 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4691 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
4692 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4693 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4694
4695- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4696 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4697 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4698 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4699
4700- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4701 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4702 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

7f6c2cbc 4723
6d0f6bcf 4724 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function

WD
4725 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC

4990- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4991 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4992 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4993 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4994 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4995 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4996 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4997 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

5024
5025The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
5026loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
5027This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5028are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5029within that device.
5030
dcf1d774
ZQ
5031- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
5032 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The

5039 is also specified.
5040
5041- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5042 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5043 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5044 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5045 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5046
5047- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5048 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5049 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5050 virtual address in NOR flash.
5051
5052- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND

5071Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
5072---------------------------------------------------------
5073The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5074"firmware".
5075This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5076are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5077within that device.
5078

5080 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5081
5082- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5083 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The

5098Building the Software:
5099======================
5100
218ca724
WD
5101Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5102and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5103all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5104(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5105recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5106which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 5107
218ca724
WD
5108If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5109have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5110you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5111Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5112necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 5113
218ca724
WD
5114 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5115 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 5116
2f8d396b
PT
5117Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5118 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5119 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5120 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5121
5122 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5123
5124 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5125 be executed on computers running Windows.
5126
218ca724
WD
5127U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5128sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
5129is done by typing:
5130
ab584d67 5131 make NAME_defconfig
c609719b 5132
ab584d67 5133where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 5134rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 5135
2729af9d
WD
5136Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5137 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5138 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5139 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 5140 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d 5141
ab584d67 5142 make TQM823L_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
5143 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5144
ab584d67 5145 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
5146 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5147
5148 etc.
5149
5150
5151Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5152images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5153
5154- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5155- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5156- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5157
baf31249
MB
5158By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5159in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5160this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5161
51621. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5163
5164 make O=/tmp/build distclean
ab584d67 5165 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
baf31249
MB
5166 make O=/tmp/build all
5167
adbba996 51682. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
baf31249 5169
adbba996 5170 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
baf31249 5171 make distclean
ab584d67 5172 make NAME_defconfig
baf31249
MB
5173 make all
5174
adbba996 5175Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
baf31249
MB
5176variable.
5177
2729af9d
WD
5178
5179Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5180for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5181native "make".
5182
5183
5184If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5185to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5186steps:
5187
51881. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
5189 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5190 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
51912. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5192 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5193 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
51943. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5195 your board
51963. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5197 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
ab584d67 51984. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
2729af9d
WD
51995. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5200 to be installed on your target system.
52016. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5202 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5203
5204
5205Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5206==============================================================
5207
218ca724
WD
5208If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5209or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
5210provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5211the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 5212official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 5213
218ca724
WD
5214But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5215cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
5216the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5217just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
5218for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5219select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5220environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5221you can type
2729af9d
WD
5222
5223 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5224
5225or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5226
5227 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5228
218ca724
WD
5229When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5230U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5231setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5232built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5233<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5234location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5235variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
5236

5305
5306Environment Variables:
5307======================
5308
5309U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5310can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 5311
2729af9d
WD
5312Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5313"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5314without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5315environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5316working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5317environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 5318
c96f86ee
WD
5319Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5320
5321List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
c609719b 5322
2729af9d 5323 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
c609719b 5324
2729af9d 5325 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
c609719b 5326
2729af9d 5327 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 5328
2729af9d 5329 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 5330
2729af9d 5331 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 5332
7d721e34
BS
5333 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5334 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5335 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5336 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5337 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5338 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
5339 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5340 bootm_mapsize.
5341
c0f40859 5342 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
5343 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5344 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5345 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5346 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5347 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5348 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
5349
5350 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5351 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5352 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5353 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5354 environment variable.
5355
4bae9090
BS
5356 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5357 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5358 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5359
2729af9d
WD
5360 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5361 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5362 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5363 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 5364
2729af9d
WD
5365 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5366 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5367 be automatically started (by internally calling
5368 "bootm")
38b99261 5369
2729af9d
WD
5370 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5371 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5372 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5373 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5374 data.
c609719b 5375
a28afca5
DL
5376 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5377 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
5378 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5379 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5380 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5381 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5382 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5383 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5384 access it during the boot procedure.
5385
a28afca5
DL
5386 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5387 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5388 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5389 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5390 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5391 must be accessible by the kernel.
5392
eea63e05
SG
5393 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5394 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5395 defined.
5396
17ea1177
WD
5397 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5398 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5399 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5400 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5401 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5402
2729af9d
WD
5403 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5404 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5405 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5406 is usually what you want since it allows for
5407 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5408 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 5409 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
5410 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5411 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5412 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5413 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 5414
2729af9d
WD
5415 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5416 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5417 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5418 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5419 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5420 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 5421
2729af9d 5422 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 5423
2729af9d
WD
5424 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5425 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5426 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5427 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5428 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5429 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5430 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 5431
2729af9d 5432 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 5433
2729af9d
WD
5434 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5435 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
c609719b 5436
2729af9d 5437 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
a3d991bd 5438
2729af9d 5439 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
a3d991bd 5440
2729af9d 5441 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
a3d991bd 5442
2729af9d 5443 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
a3d991bd 5444
2729af9d 5445 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
c609719b 5446
e2a53458 5447 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
c609719b 5448
e2a53458
MF
5449 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5450 For example you can do the following
c609719b 5451
48690d80
HS
5452 => setenv ethact FEC
5453 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5454 => setenv ethact SCC
5455 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
c609719b 5456
e1692577
MF
5457 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5458 available network interfaces.
5459 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5460
c96f86ee 5461 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
5462 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5463 When set to "once" the network operation will
5464 fail when all the available network interfaces
5465 are tried once without success.
5466 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5467 themselves.
c609719b 5468
b4e2f89d 5469 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 5470
8d51aacd
SG
5471 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5472 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5473 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5474 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5475 is silent.
5476
28cb9375 5477 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
5478 UDP source port.
5479
28cb9375
WD
5480 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5481 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5482
c96f86ee
WD
5483 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5484 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5485
5486 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5487 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5488 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5489 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5490 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5491 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5492 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5493
5494 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 5495 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 5496 VLAN tagged frames.
c609719b 5497
dc0b7b0e
JH
5498The following image location variables contain the location of images
5499used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5500not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5501variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5502server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5503loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5504flash or offset in NAND flash.
5505
5506*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5507boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5508boards use these variables for other purposes.

5517The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5518updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5519depending the information provided by your boot server:
c609719b 5520
2729af9d
WD
5521 bootfile - see above
5522 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5523 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5524 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5525 hostname - Target hostname
5526 ipaddr - see above
5527 netmask - Subnet Mask
5528 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5529 serverip - see above
c1551ea8 5530
c1551ea8 5531
2729af9d 5532There are two special Environment Variables:
c1551ea8 5533
2729af9d
WD
5534 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5535 as type string and/or serial number
5536 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 5537
2729af9d
WD
5538These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5539the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5540once they have been set once.
c609719b 5541
f07771cc 5542
2729af9d 5543Further special Environment Variables:
f07771cc 5544
2729af9d
WD
5545 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5546 with the "version" command. This variable is
5547 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

5554Callback functions for environment variables:
5555---------------------------------------------
5556
5557For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5558when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5559be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5560deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5561effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5562
5563The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5564U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5565
5566These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5567static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5568in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5569associations. The list must be in the following format:
5570
5571 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5572 list = entry[,list]
5573
5574If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5575Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5576
5577Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5578with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5579override any association in the static list. You can define
5580CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5581".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

5584Command Line Parsing:
5585=====================
f07771cc 5586
2729af9d
WD
5587There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5588the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 5589
2729af9d
WD
5590Old, simple command line parser:
5591--------------------------------
c609719b 5592
2729af9d
WD
5593- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5594- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 5595- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
5596- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5597 for example:
fe126d8b 5598 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
5599- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5600 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 5601
2729af9d
WD
5602Hush shell:
5603-----------
c609719b 5604
2729af9d
WD
5605- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5606 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5607 until...do...done, ...
5608- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5609 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5610 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5611 command
5612
5613General rules:
5614--------------
c609719b 5615
2729af9d
WD
5616(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5617 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5618 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5619 executed anyway.
c609719b 5620
2729af9d 5621(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 5622 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
5623 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5624 variables are not executed.
c609719b 5625

WD
5626Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5627=======================================
c609719b 5628
11ccc33f 5629Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
5630such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5631"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 5632
2729af9d
WD
5633Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5634MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5635"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 5636
2729af9d
WD
5637If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5638in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5639ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5640variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 5641
2729af9d
WD
5642o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5643 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 5644
2729af9d
WD
5645o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5646 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5647 used.
c609719b 5648
2729af9d
WD
5649o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5650 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 5651
2729af9d
WD
5652o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5653 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5654 warning is printed.
c609719b 5655
2729af9d
WD
5656o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5657 is raised.
c609719b 5658
ecee9324 5659If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 5660will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
5661may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5662The naming convention is as follows:
5663"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

5668U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5669images in two formats:
5670
5671New uImage format (FIT)
5672-----------------------
5673
5674Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5675to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5676components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5677SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5678
5679
5680Old uImage format
5681-----------------
5682
5683Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5684preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5685details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

5706Linux Support:
5707==============
c609719b 5708
2729af9d
WD
5709Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5710easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5711U-Boot.
c609719b 5712
2729af9d
WD
5713U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5714special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5715"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5716instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5717serves several purposes:
c609719b 5718
2729af9d
WD
5719- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5720 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5721 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 5722
2729af9d
WD
5723- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5724 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 5725
2729af9d
WD
5726- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5727 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5728 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5729 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5730 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5731 software is easier now.

5734Linux HOWTO:
5735============
c609719b 5736
2729af9d
WD
5737Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5738---------------------------------------
c609719b 5739
2729af9d
WD
5740U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5741configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5742(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5743Linux :-).
c609719b 5744
a47a12be 5745But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 5746
2729af9d
WD
5747Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5748include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
5749Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5750and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 5751as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 5752
2eb31b13
SG
5753Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5754If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5755is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5756doc/driver-model.
5757
c609719b 5758
2729af9d
WD
5759Configuring the Linux kernel:
5760-----------------------------
c609719b 5761
2729af9d
WD
5762No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5763device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5764
5765
5766Building a Linux Image:
5767-----------------------
c609719b 5768
2729af9d
WD
5769With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5770not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5771"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5772U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5773which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5774100% compatible format.
5775
5776Example:
5777
ab584d67 5778 make TQM850L_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
5779 make oldconfig
5780 make dep
5781 make uImage
5782
5783The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5784encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5785CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5786
5787* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5788
5789* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5790
5791 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5792 -R .note -R .comment \
5793 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5794
5795* compress the binary image:
5796
5797 gzip -9 linux.bin
5798
5799* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5800
5801 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5802 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5803 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 5804
c609719b 5805
2729af9d
WD
5806The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5807with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5808combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5809byte header containing information about target architecture,
5810operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5811stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5812
5813"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5814print the header information, or to build new images.
5815
5816In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5817contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5818checksum verification:
c609719b 5819
2729af9d
WD
5820 tools/mkimage -l image
5821 -l ==> list image header information
5822
5823The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5824from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5825
5826 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5827 -n name -d data_file image
5828 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5829 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5830 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5831 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5832 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5833 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5834 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5835 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5836
69459791
WD
5837Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5838address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5839kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
5840
5841- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5842- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5843
5844So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5845
5846 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5847 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5848 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD
5849 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5850 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5851 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5852 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5853 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5854 Load Address: 0x00000000
5855 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5856
5857To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5858
5859 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5860 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5861 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000

5864 Load Address: 0x00000000
5865 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5866
5867NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5868speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5869needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5870need to be uncompressed:
5871
a47a12be 5872 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d
WD
5873 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5874 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5875 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \

5883
5884
5885Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5886when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5887
5888 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5889 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5890 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

5895 Load Address: 0x00000000
5896 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5897
a804b5ce
GMF
5898The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5899option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5900option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5901from the image:
5902
5903 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5904 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
5905 indexed by 'position'

5907
5908Installing a Linux Image:
5909-------------------------
5910
5911To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5912you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5913
5914 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5915
5916The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5917image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5918address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5919specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5920command.
5921
5922Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5923TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5924
5925 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5926
5927 .......... done
5928 Erased 8 sectors
5929
5930 => loads 40100000
5931 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5939
5940
5941You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
218ca724 5942this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data

5956Boot Linux:
5957-----------
5958
5959The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5960memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5961of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5962parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5963"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5964
5965
5966 => printenv bootargs
5967 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5968
5969 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

6091U-Boot supports the following image types:
6092
6093 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6094 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6095 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6096 the Standalone Program.
6097 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6098 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6099 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6100 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6101 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6102 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6103 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6104 being started.
6105 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6106 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6107 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6108 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6109 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6110 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
6111
6112 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6113 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6114 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6115 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6116 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6117 a multiple of 4 bytes).
6118
6119 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6120 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6121 flash memory.
6122
6123 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6124 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6125 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6126 as command interpreter.

6128Booting the Linux zImage:
6129-------------------------
6130
6131On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6132using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6133as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6134

6136kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6137address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6138format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

6141Standalone HOWTO:
6142=================
6143
6144One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6145run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6146U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
6147
6148Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6149
6150"Hello World" Demo:
6151-------------------
6152
6153'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6154application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6155It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6156like that:
6157
6158 => loads
6159 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
6160 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
6161 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
6162 [file transfer complete]
6163 [connected]
6164 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
6165
6166 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
6167 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
6168 Hello World
6169 argc = 7
6170 argv[0] = "40004"
6171 argv[1] = "Hello"
6172 argv[2] = "World!"
6173 argv[3] = "This"
6174 argv[4] = "is"
6175 argv[5] = "a"
6176 argv[6] = "test."
6177 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
6178 Hit any key to exit ...
6179
6180 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
6181
6182Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6183handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6184Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6185The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6186character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6187controlled by the following keys:
6188
6189 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6190 b - enable interrupts and start timer
6191 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6192 q - quit application
6193
6194 => loads

6229Minicom warning:
6230================
6231
6232Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6233"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6234consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6235Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6236especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
6237use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
6238http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6239for help with kermit.

6250NetBSD Notes:
6251=============
6252
6253Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6254(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6255
6256Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6257NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6258need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6259Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6260attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6261missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6262
6263 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6264 # mkdir powerpc
6265 # ln -s powerpc machine
6266 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6267 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6268
6269Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6270and U-Boot include files.
6271
6272Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6273stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6274proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6275tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 6276meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

6279Implementation Internals:
6280=========================
6281
6282The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6283implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6284inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6285hardware.
6286
6287
6288Initial Stack, Global Data:
6289---------------------------
6290
6291The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6292starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6293system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6294This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6295is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6296at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6297options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6298models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6299MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6300locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6301
218ca724 6302 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 6303 U-Boot mailing list:

6308 ...
6309
6310 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6311 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6312 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6313 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6314 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 6315 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
6316 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6317 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6318
6319 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6320 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 6321 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
6322 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6323 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6324 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6325 used.
6326
6d0f6bcf 6327 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
6328 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6329 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 6330 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
6331 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6332 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6333 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6334 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6335 you get the config right.

6339
6340It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6341code for the initialization procedures:
6342
6343* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6344 to write it.
6345
11ccc33f 6346* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
6347 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6348 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6349
6350* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6351 that.
6352
6353Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6354normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6355turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6356simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6357functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6358functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6359the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6360place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6361reserve for this purpose.
6362
6363When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6364relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6365GCC's implementation.
6366
6367For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6368 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 6369 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
6370 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6371 R5-R10: parameter passing
6372 R13: small data area pointer
6373 R30: GOT pointer
6374 R31: frame pointer
6375
e6bee808
JT
6376 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6377 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6378 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 6379
e7670f6c 6380 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
6381
6382 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6383 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6384 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6385 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6386 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6387 624 text + 127 data).

6434
6435Memory Management:
6436------------------
6437
6438U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6439MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6440
6441The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6442controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6443memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6444physical memory banks.
6445
6446U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6447TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6448booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6449to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 6450memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
6451configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6452Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6453
6454Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6455of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6456
6457So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6458this:
6459
6460 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6461 :
6462 0x0000 1FFF
6463 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6464 :
6465 :
6466
6467 :
6468 :
6469 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6470 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6471 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6472 :
6473 0x00FD FFFF
6474 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6475 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6476 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6477 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6478
6479
6480System Initialization:
6481----------------------
c609719b 6482
2729af9d 6483In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 6484(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
6485configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6486To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6487To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6488initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6489which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6490part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6491the caches and the SIU.
6492
6493Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6494preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6495(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6496on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6497programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6498simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6499banks.
6500
6501When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6502different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6503bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
65040x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6505contiguous memory starting from 0.
6506
6507Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6508and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6509Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6510pages, and the final stack is set up.
6511
6512Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6513until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6514running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6515new address in RAM.

6592Coding Standards:
6593-----------------
c609719b 6594
2729af9d 6595All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
2c051651 6596coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
7ca9296e 6597"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
2c051651
DZ
6598
6599Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6600MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6601reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6602sources.
6603
6604Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6605Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6606in your code.
c609719b 6607
2729af9d
WD
6608Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6609- remove any trailing white space
7ca9296e 6610- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
2729af9d 6611- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
7ca9296e 6612- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
2729af9d 6613- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
180d3f74 6614
2729af9d
WD
6615Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6616with a request to reformat the changes.

6619Submitting Patches:
6620-------------------
c609719b 6621
2729af9d
WD
6622Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6623establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6624may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
c609719b 6625
0d28f34b 6626Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
218ca724 6627
0668236b
WD
6628Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6629see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot

6631When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6632it:
c609719b 6633
2729af9d
WD
6634* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6635 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6636 patch actually fixes something.
c609719b 6637
2729af9d
WD
6638* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6639 implementation.
c609719b 6640
2729af9d 6641* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
c609719b 6642
2729af9d 6643* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
c609719b 6644
27af930e
AA
6645* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6646 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
c609719b 6647
2729af9d
WD
6648* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6649 document these in the README file.
c609719b 6650
218ca724
WD
6651* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6652 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 6653 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
6654 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6655 with some other mail clients.
6656
6657 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6658 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6659 GNU diff.
c609719b 6660
218ca724
WD
6661 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6662 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6663 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6664 affected files).
6dff5529 6665
218ca724
WD
6666 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6667 and compressed attachments must not be used.
c609719b 6668
2729af9d
WD
6669* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6670 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
52f52c14 6671
2729af9d
WD
6672* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6673 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

2729af9d 6676Notes:
c609719b 6677
2729af9d
WD
6678* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6679 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6680 for any of the boards.
c609719b 6681
2729af9d
WD
6682* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6683 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6684 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
c609719b 6685
2729af9d
WD
6686* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6687 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6688 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6689 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6690 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6691 modification.

WD
6693* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6694 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6695 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6696 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
