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

227Software Configuration:
228=======================
229
230Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
232
233There are two classes of configuration variables:
234
235* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
237 "CONFIG_".
238
239* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 242 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
243
244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
248as an example here.
249
250
251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252---------------------------------------------------
253
254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
260 make TQM823L_config
261
11ccc33f 262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
c609719b
WD
263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
265
266
75b3c3aa
SG
267Sandbox Environment:
268--------------------
269
270U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
271board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
272specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
273run some of U-Boot's tests.
274
275See board/sandbox/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
276
277
c609719b
WD
278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
7f6c2cbc
WD
289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292
293
c609719b

75d1ea7f 348
ba56f625
WD
349 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
350 of relying on the correctness of the configured
351 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
352 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
353 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 354 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)

359 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
360
66412c63 361- 85xx CPU Options:
ffd06e02
YS
362 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
363
364 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
365 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
366 compliance, among other possible reasons.
367
66412c63
KG
368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
369
370 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
371 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ

380
381 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
382 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
383 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
384 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
385 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
386 purpose.
387
33eee330
SW
388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
389
390 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
391 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
393
394 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
395 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
396
397 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
398 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
399
400 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
401 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
402 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
403 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
404
405 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
406 this erratum.
407

622 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
623
624 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
625 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
626 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
627 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
628 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
629 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
630 Linux kernel.
c609719b 631 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of

4cf2609b
WD
839 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
840 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
841 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
842 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
843 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
844 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
845 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 846 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
847 earlier bytes are discarded.

901 cycle, see:
902 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
903
904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
905 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
906 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
907 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
908 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
909 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
910 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
911 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
912 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.

914- Pre-Boot Commands:
915 CONFIG_PREBOOT

918 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
919 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
920 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
921 entering interactive mode.
922
923 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
924 automatically generated or modified. For an example
925 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
926 modified when the user holds down a certain
927 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
928 booting the systems
929
930- Serial Download Echo Mode:
931 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
932 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
933 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
934 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
935 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
936 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
937 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

1070 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 1071 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
1072 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1073 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1074 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1075 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1076 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1077 initial stack and some data.

1080 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1081
a5ecbe62
WD
1082- Regular expression support:
1083 CONFIG_REGEX
93e14596
WD
1084 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1085 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1086 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1087 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
a5ecbe62 1088
45ba8077
SG
1089- Device tree:
1090 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1091 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1092 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1093 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1094 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1095 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1096
2c0f79e4
SG
1097 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1098 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
1099
1100 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1101 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1102 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1103 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1104 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1105 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 1106
2c0f79e4
SG
1107 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1108 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1109 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1110 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1111
1112 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1113
1114 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1115 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1116 still use the individual files if you need something more
1117 exotic.
1118
c609719b
WD
1119- Watchdog:
1120 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1121 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
1122 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1123 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1124 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1125 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1126 available, then no further board specific code should
1127 be needed to use it.
1128
1129 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1130 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1131 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1132 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
c609719b 1133
c1551ea8
SR
1134- U-Boot Version:
1135 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1136 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1137 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1138 version as printed by the "version" command.
a1ea8e51
BT
1139 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1140 next reset.
c1551ea8 1141
c609719b
WD
1142- Real-Time Clock:
1143
602ad3b3 1144 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
c609719b
WD
1145 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1146 following options:
1147
1148 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1149 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
4e8b7544 1150 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
c609719b 1151 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1cb8e980 1152 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
c609719b 1153 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
7f70e853 1154 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
3bac3513 1155 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
9536dfcc 1156 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
4c0d4c3b 1157 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
6d0f6bcf 1158 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
71d19f30
HS
1159 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1160 RV3029 RTC.
c609719b 1161
b37c7e5e
WD
1162 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1163 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1164
e92739d3
PT
1165- GPIO Support:
1166 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
e92739d3 1167
5dec49ca
CP
1168 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1169 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1170 pins supported by a particular chip.
1171
e92739d3
PT
1172 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1173 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1174
aa53233a
SG
1175- I/O tracing:
1176 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1177 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1178 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1179 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1180 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1181 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1182 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1183 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1184
1185 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1186 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1187 still continue to operate.
1188
1189 iotrace is enabled
1190 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1191 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1192 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1193 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1194 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1195 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1196
c609719b
WD
1197- Timestamp Support:
1198
43d9616c
WD
1199 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1200 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1201 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 1202 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
c609719b 1203
923c46f9
KP
1204- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1205 Zero or more of the following:
1206 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1207 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1208 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1209 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1210 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1211 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1212 disk/part_efi.c
1213 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
c609719b 1214
218ca724
WD
1215 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1216 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
923c46f9 1217 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
c609719b
WD
1218
1219- IDE Reset method:
4d13cbad
WD
1220 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1221 board configurations files but used nowhere!
c609719b 1222
4d13cbad
WD
1223 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1224 be performed by calling the function
1225 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1226 which has to be defined in a board specific file
c609719b
WD
1227
1228- ATAPI Support:
1229 CONFIG_ATAPI
1230
1231 Set this to enable ATAPI support.

1234 CONFIG_LBA48
1235
1236 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
4b142feb 1237 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
c40b2956
WD
1238 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1239 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1240
6d0f6bcf 1241 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
c40b2956
WD
1242 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1243 Default is 32bit.
1244
c609719b
WD
1245- SCSI Support:
1246 At the moment only there is only support for the
1247 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1248 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1249
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
1250 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1251 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1252 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
c609719b
WD
1253 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1254 devices.
6d0f6bcf 1255 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)

1809 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1810
1811 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1812 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1813 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1814 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1815 a per-section basis.
1816
0d89efef
SG
1817 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1818
1819 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1820 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1821 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1822 is slow.
676d319e 1823
45d7f525
TWHT
1824 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1825
1826 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1827
735987c5
TWHT
1828 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1829

1831 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1832
7152b1d0 1833- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1834
8bde7f77
WD
1835 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1836 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1837 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1838 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1839 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1840 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1841 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1842 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1843
c0880485
NK
1844 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1845
1846 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1847 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1551df35 1848 (see README.displaying-bmps).
c0880485
NK
1849 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1850 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1851 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1852 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1853 there is no need to set this option.
1854
1ca298ce
MW
1855 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1856
1857 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1858 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1859 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1860 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1861 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1862 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1863
1864 Example:
1865 setenv splashpos m,m
1866 => image at center of screen
1867
1868 setenv splashpos 30,20
1869 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1870
1871 setenv splashpos -10,m
1872 => vertically centered image
1873 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

1875- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1876
1877 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1878 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1879 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1880
d5011762

1881- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1882
1883 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1884 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1885 bmp command.
1886
f2b96dfb
LW
1887- Do compresssing for memory range:
1888 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1889
1890 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1891 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1892
c29fdfc1 1893- Compression support:
8ef70478
KC
1894 CONFIG_GZIP
1895
1896 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1897
c29fdfc1
WD
1898 CONFIG_BZIP2
1899
1900 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1901 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1902 compressed images are supported.
1903
42d1f039 1904 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1905 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1906 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1907
fc9c1727
LCM
1908 CONFIG_LZMA
1909
1910 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1911 images is included.
1912
1913 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1914 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1915 formula:
1916
1917 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1918
1919 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1920 and Literal pos bits.
1921
1922 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1923 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1924 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1925 a very small buffer.
1926
1927 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1928 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1929 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
fc9c1727 1930
8ef70478
KC
1931 CONFIG_LZO
1932
1933 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1934 is included.

1936- MII/PHY support:
1937 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1938
1939 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1940
1941 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1942
1943 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1944
1945 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1946
1947 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1948 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1949
1950 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1951
1952 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1953 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1954 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1955 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1956
1957 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1958
1959 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1960 command issued before MII status register can be read

2011- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2012 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2013
2014 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2015 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 2016 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet

2020- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2021 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2022
2023 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2024 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2025 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2026 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2027 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2028 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2029 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2030 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 2031 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
2032
2033 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2034 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2035 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2036 4th and following
2037 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

2057 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2058 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 2059
2c00e099
JH
2060 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2061 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2062 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2063 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2064 is not available.
2065
fe389a82
SR
2066 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2067 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2068 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2069 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2070 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2071 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2072 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 2073 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
2074
2075 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2076 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2077 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 2078 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
2079 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2080 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 2081
d9a2f416
AV
2082 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2083
2084 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2085 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2086 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2087 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2088 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2089 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2090 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2091 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2092 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2093 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2094 this delay.

2096 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2097 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2098 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2099 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2100 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

2146- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2147
2148 Several configurations allow to display the current
2149 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2150 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2151 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2152 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2153 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2154 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2155 feature in U-Boot.
2156
1df7bbba
IG
2157 Additional options:
2158
2159 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2160 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2161 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2162 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2163 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2164
9dfdcdfe
IG
2165 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2166 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2167 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2168 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2169 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2170 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2171

2172- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2173
2174 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2175 on those systems that support this (optional)
2176 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2178- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2179
2180 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2181 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2182 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2183 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See

2291 additional defines:
2292
2293 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2294 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2295 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2296 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2297 omit this define.
2298
2299 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2300 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2301 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2302 omit this define.
2303
2304 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2305 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2306 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2307 define.
2308
2309 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2310 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2311 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2312 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2313 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2314
2315 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \

ea818dbb 2339- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
3f4978c7
HS
2340
2341 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2342 provides the following compelling advantages:
2343
2344 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2345 - approved multibus support
2346 - better i2c mux support
2347
2348 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2349
ea818dbb
HS
2350 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2351 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2352 for the selected CPU.
c609719b 2353
945af8d7 2354 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 2355 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
2356 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2357 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 2358 command line interface.
c609719b 2359
bb99ad6d 2360 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 2361
945af8d7 2362 There are several other quantities that must also be
ea818dbb 2363 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2364
6d0f6bcf 2365 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 2366 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 2367 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 2368 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 2369
8d321b81 2370 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 2371 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
2372 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2373 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2374 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 2375
5da71efa
EM
2376 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2377
2378 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2379 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2380 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2381 commands until the slave device responds.
2382
945af8d7 2383 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2384
ea818dbb 2385 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
b37c7e5e
WD
2386 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2387 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
2388
2389 I2C_INIT
2390
b37c7e5e 2391 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 2392 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 2393
ba56f625 2394 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 2395
c609719b
WD
2396 I2C_PORT
2397
43d9616c
WD
2398 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2399 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2400 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
2401
2402 I2C_ACTIVE
2403
2404 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2405 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2406 define can be null.
2407
b37c7e5e
WD
2408 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2409
c609719b
WD
2410 I2C_TRISTATE
2411
2412 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2413 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2414 define can be null.
2415
b37c7e5e
WD
2416 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2417
c609719b
WD
2418 I2C_READ
2419
472d5460
YS
2420 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2421 false if it is low.
c609719b 2422
b37c7e5e
WD
2423 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2424
c609719b
WD
2425 I2C_SDA(bit)
2426
472d5460
YS
2427 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2428 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2429
b37c7e5e 2430 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 2431 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 2432 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 2433
c609719b
WD
2434 I2C_SCL(bit)
2435
472d5460
YS
2436 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2437 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2438
b37c7e5e 2439 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 2440 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
ba56f625 2441 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
b37c7e5e 2442
c609719b
WD
2443 I2C_DELAY
2444
2445 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2446 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2447 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
2448 like:
2449
b37c7e5e 2450 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 2451
793b5726
MF
2452 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2453
2454 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2455 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2456 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2457 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2458
2459 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2460 the generic GPIO functions.
2461
6d0f6bcf 2462 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 2463
8bde7f77
WD
2464 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2465 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2466 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2467 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2468 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2469 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2470 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2471 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 2472
26a33504
RR
2473 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2474
2475 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2476 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2477 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2478 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2479 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2480 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2481 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2482 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2483
17ea1177
WD
2484 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2485
2486 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2487 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2488 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2489
bb99ad6d
BW
2490 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2491
2492 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
2493 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2494 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d
BW
2495 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2496
6d0f6bcf 2497 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
2498
2499 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 2500 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
2501 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2502 a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d
BW
2503
2504 e.g.
2505 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
c0f40859 2506 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d
BW
2507
2508 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2509
c0f40859 2510 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
6d0f6bcf 2511 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
bb99ad6d
BW
2512
2513 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2514
6d0f6bcf 2515 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
2516
2517 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2518 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2519
6d0f6bcf 2520 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2521
2522 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2523 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2524
6d0f6bcf 2525 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2526
2527 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2528 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2529
6d0f6bcf 2530 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
2531
2532 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2533 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2534 specified DTT device.
2535
2ac6985a
AD
2536 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2537
2538 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2539 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2540 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2541 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2542 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2543 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2544 the other.

2566 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2567 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2568 defined, the board configuration must define several
2569 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2570 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

6d0f6bcf 2649 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
c609719b 2650
43d9616c 2651 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
11ccc33f 2652 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
c609719b 2653
6d0f6bcf 2654 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
c609719b 2655
43d9616c 2656 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
11ccc33f 2657 200 ms.
c609719b
WD
2658
2659- Configuration Management:
2660 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2661
43d9616c
WD
2662 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2663 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2664
2665- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2666
43d9616c
WD
2667 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2668 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2669 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2670 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2671 protects these variables from casual modification by
2672 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2673 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2674 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2675
2676 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2677 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2678 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2679 these parameters.
2680
2681 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2682 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2683 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2684 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2685 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2686 read-only.]
2687
2598090b
JH
2688 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2689 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2690 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2691 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2692
c609719b
WD
2693- Protected RAM:
2694 CONFIG_PRAM
2695
2696 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2697 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2698 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2699 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2700 this default value by defining an environment
2701 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2702 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2703 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2704 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2705 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2706 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2707 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2708
fe126d8b 2709 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2710 saveenv
2711
2712 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2713 either, which results in a memory region that will
2714 not be affected by reboots.
2715
2716 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2717 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2718 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2719 following board configurations are known to be
2720 "pRAM-clean":
2721
1b0757ec
WD
2722 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2723 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,

c609719b 2725
40fef049
GB
2726- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2727 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2728 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2729 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2730 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2731 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2732 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2733
c609719b
WD
2734- Error Recovery:
2735 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2736
2737 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2738 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2739 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2740 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2741 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2742 useful during development since you can try to debug
2743 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2744
2745 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2746
43d9616c
WD
2747 This variable defines the number of retries for
2748 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2749 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2750 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2751
40cb90ee
GL
2752 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2753
2754 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2755
48a3e999
TK
2756 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2757
2758 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2759 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2760 try longer timeout such as
2761 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2762
c609719b 2763- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2764 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
04a85b3b
WD
2765
2766 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2767
a9398e01
WD
2768 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2769 for the "hush" shell.
8078f1a5
WD
2770
2771
6d0f6bcf 2772 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2773
2774 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2775 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2776 powerful command line syntax like
2777 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2778 constructs ("shell scripts").
2779
2780 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2781 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2782
2783
6d0f6bcf 2784 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2785
2786 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2787 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2788 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2789
2790 Note:
2791
8bde7f77
WD
2792 In the current implementation, the local variables
2793 space and global environment variables space are
2794 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2795 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2796 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2797 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2798 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2799
43d9616c
WD
2800 Global environment variables are those you use
2801 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2802 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2803 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2804
2805 To store commands and special characters in a
2806 variable, please use double quotation marks
2807 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2808 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2809 symbols.

2811- Commandline Editing and History:
2812 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2813
11ccc33f 2814 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
b9365a26 2815 commandline input operations
aa0c71ac 2816
a8c7c708 2817- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2818 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2819
43d9616c
WD
2820 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2821 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2822 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2823
43d9616c
WD
2824 For example, place something like this in your
2825 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2826
2827 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2828 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2829 "myvar2=value2\0"
2830
43d9616c
WD
2831 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2832 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2833 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2834 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2835 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2836 You better know what you are doing here.
2837
43d9616c
WD
2838 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2839 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2840 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2841 boot command first.
c609719b 2842
5e724ca2
SW
2843 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2844
2845 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2846 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2847 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2848
2849 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2850
2851 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2852 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2853 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2854 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2855 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2856
7e27f89f
TR
2857 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2858
2859 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2860 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2861 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2862
06fd8538
SG
2863 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2864
2865 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2866 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2867 that so that the environment is not available until
2868 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2869 this is instead controlled by the value of
2870 /config/load-environment.
2871
a8c7c708 2872- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2873 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2874
8bde7f77
WD
2875 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2876 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2877 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2878
f61ec45e
EN
2879- Serial Flash support
2880 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2881
2882 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2883 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2884
2885 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2886 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2887 commands.
2888
2889 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2890 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2891 flash is present on the system.
2892
2893 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2894 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2895 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2896 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2897
24007273
SG
2898 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2899
2900 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2901 test ('sf test').
2902
1dcd6d03
JT
2903 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2904
2905 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2906 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2907
b902e07c
JT
2908 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2909
2910 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2911 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2912 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2913
3f85ce27
WD
2914- SystemACE Support:
2915 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2916
2917 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2918 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2919 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2920 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2921
2922 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2923 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2924
2925 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2926 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2927
ecb0ccd9
WD
2928- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2929 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2930
28cb9375 2931 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2932 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2933 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2934 number generator is used.
2935
28cb9375
WD
2936 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2937 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2938 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2939
2940 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2941 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2942 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2943 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2944 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2945 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2946 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2947
bf36c5d5
SG
2948- Hashing support:
2949 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2950
2951 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2952 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2953
2954 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2955
2956 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2957 size a little.
2958
2959 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2960 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2961
2962 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2963 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2964
a11f1873
RW
2965- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2966 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2967 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2968 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2969
2970 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2971 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2972 a boot from specific media.
2973
2974 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2975 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2976 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2977 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2978 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2979
19c402af
SG
2980- Signing support:
2981 CONFIG_RSA
2982
2983 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
8bf2aad7 2984 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
19c402af
SG
2985
2986 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2987 option.
2988
9e50c406
HS
2989- bootcount support:
2990 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2991
2992 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2993 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2994
2995 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2996 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2997 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2998 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2999 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3000 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3001 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3002 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3003 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3004 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3005 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3006 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3007 the bootcounter.
3008 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

c609719b
WD
3011 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3012
43d9616c
WD
3013 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3014 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3015 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3016 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3017 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3018 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 3019
3a608ca0
SG
3020- Detailed boot stage timing
3021 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3022 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3023 of the boot process.
3024
3025 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3026 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3027 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3028 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3029 the limit, recording will stop.
3030
3031 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3032 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3033
3034 Timer summary in microseconds:
3035 Mark Elapsed Stage
3036 0 0 reset
3037 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3038 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9

3044
2eba38cf
SG
3045 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3046 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3047 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3048
94fd1316
SG
3049 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3050 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3051 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3052 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3053 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3054 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3055 For example:
3056
3057 bootstage {
3058 154 {
3059 name = "board_init_f";
3060 mark = <3575678>;
3061 };
3062 170 {
3063 name = "lcd";
3064 accum = <33482>;
3065 };
3066 };
3067
3068 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3537 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3538 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3539 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3540 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3541 bootm command when booting a FIT image.

3543- TPL framework
3544 CONFIG_TPL
3545 Enable building of TPL globally.
3546
3547 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3548 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3549 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
93e14596
WD
3550 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3551 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3552 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

3554Modem Support:
3555--------------

566e5cf4 3557[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
c609719b 3558
11ccc33f 3559- Modem support enable:
c609719b
WD
3560 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3561
3562- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3563 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3564
3565- Modem debug support:
3566 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3567
43d9616c
WD
3568 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3569 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
c609719b 3570
a8c7c708
WD
3571- Interrupt support (PPC):
3572
d4ca31c4
WD
3573 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3574 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 3575 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 3576 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 3577 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 3578 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 3579 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
3580 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3581 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3582 general timer_interrupt().
a8c7c708 3583
c609719b
WD
3584- General:
3585
43d9616c
WD
3586 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3587 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3588 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
11ccc33f 3589 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
3590 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3591 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3592 initialization.
c609719b 3593
43d9616c
WD
3594 If there are no modem init strings in the
3595 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3596 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
11ccc33f 3597 suppressed, though.

3601Board initialization settings:
3602------------------------------
3603
3604During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3605to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3606before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3607following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3608architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3609typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3610
3611- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3612- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3613- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3614- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

3616Configuration Settings:
3617-----------------------
3618
4d1fd7f1
YS
3619- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3620 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3621
6d0f6bcf 3622- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
c609719b
WD
3623 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3624
2fb2604d
PT
3625- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3626 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3627
6d0f6bcf 3628- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
c609719b
WD
3629 prompt for user input.
3630
6d0f6bcf 3631- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
c609719b 3632
6d0f6bcf 3633- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
c609719b 3634
6d0f6bcf 3635- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
c609719b 3636
6d0f6bcf 3637- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
c609719b
WD
3638 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3639 booted
3640
6d0f6bcf 3641- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b
WD
3642 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3643
6d0f6bcf 3644- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 3645 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 3646
6d0f6bcf 3647- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
3648 If the board specific function
3649 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3650 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
3651 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3652
6d0f6bcf 3653- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
8bde7f77 3654 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 3655
6d0f6bcf 3656- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
c609719b
WD
3657 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3658
6d0f6bcf 3659- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
3660 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3661 simple memory test.
3662
6d0f6bcf 3663- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
8bde7f77 3664 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
c609719b 3665
6d0f6bcf 3666- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
5f535fe1
WD
3667 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3668 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3669
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3670- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3671 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 3672 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 3673 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3674 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3675 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3676 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3677 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3678 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3679 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
3680
3681 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3682 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3683 be touched.
3684
3685 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3686 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3687 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3688 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3689 problems.
3690
6d0f6bcf 3691- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
c609719b
WD
3692 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3693
6d0f6bcf 3694- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3695 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3696
6d0f6bcf 3697- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3698 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3699 Cogent motherboard)
3700
6d0f6bcf 3701- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3702 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3703
6d0f6bcf 3704- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3705 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3706 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 3707 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 3708 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 3709
6d0f6bcf 3710- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
3711 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3712 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3713 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3714 flash sector.
c609719b 3715
6d0f6bcf 3716- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3717 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3718
6d0f6bcf 3719- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
3720 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3721 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 3722 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
3723 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3724
6d0f6bcf 3725- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
3726 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3727 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
3728 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3729 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
1bce2aeb 3730 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
7d721e34 3731 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3732 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
3733 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3734 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3735 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 3736
fca43cc8
JR
3737- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3738 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3739 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3740 is enabled.
3741
3742- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3743 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3744 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3745
3746- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3747 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3748 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3749
6d0f6bcf 3750- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
3751 Max number of Flash memory banks
3752
6d0f6bcf 3753- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
c609719b
WD
3754 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3755
6d0f6bcf 3756- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3757 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3758
6d0f6bcf 3759- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3760 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3761
6d0f6bcf 3762- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3763 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3764
6d0f6bcf 3765- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3766 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3767
6d0f6bcf 3768- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
3769 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3770 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3771
6d0f6bcf 3772- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3773
3774 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3775 without this option such a download has to be
3776 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3777 copy from RAM to flash.
3778
3779 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3780 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3781 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3782 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3783 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3784
6d0f6bcf 3785- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3786 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
3787 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3788
00b1883a 3789- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33
WD
3790 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3791 in the drivers directory
c609719b 3792
91809ed5
PZ
3793- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3794 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3795 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3796 to the MTD layer.
3797
6d0f6bcf 3798- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
3799 Use buffered writes to flash.
3800
3801- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3802 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3803 write commands.
3804
6d0f6bcf 3805- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3806 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3807 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3808 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3809 optionally available.
3810
9a042e9c
JVB
3811- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3812 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3813 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3814 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3815
352ef3f1
SR
3816- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3817 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3818 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3819 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3820 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3821 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3822 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3823 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3824
6d0f6bcf 3825- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
3826 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3827 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3828 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3829 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3830 on high Ethernet traffic.

3834
071bc923
WD
3835 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3836 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3837 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3838 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see

JH
3869 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3870 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3871 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3872
3873 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3874 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3875 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3876 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3877 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3878 ".flags" variable.

3884- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3885 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3886 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3887 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3888 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3889 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3890 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3891 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3892 your board please report the problem and send patches!

WD
3899The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3900of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3901following configurations:
3902
c3eb3fe4
MF
3903- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3904
3905 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3906 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3907
5a1aceb0 3908- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3909
3910 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3911
3912 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3913 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3914 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3915 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3916 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3917 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3918 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3919 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3920 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3921 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3922 between U-Boot and the environment.
3923
0e8d1586 3924 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3925
3926 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3927 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3928 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3929 for this sector is given here.
3930
6d0f6bcf 3931 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3932
0e8d1586 3933 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3934
3935 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3936 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3937 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3938
0e8d1586 3939 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3940
3941 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3942
3943
3944 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3945 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3946 the environment.
3947
0e8d1586 3948 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:

5a1aceb0 3950 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3951 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3952 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3953 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3954
3955 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3956 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3957 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3958 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3959 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3960 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3961 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3962 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3963 RAM, your target system will be dead.

43d9616c 3968 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 3969 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 3970 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 3971 a "saveenv" operation.

9314cee6 3978- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD

3980 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3981 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3982 environment.

JCPV
3984 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3985 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3986
11ccc33f 3987 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
3988 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3989 can just be read and written to, without any special
3990 provision.
3991
3992BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3993in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3994console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3995U-Boot will hang.
3996
3997Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3998environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3999keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4000to save the current settings.

0e8d1586
JCPV
4008 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4009 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b

4010
4011 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4012 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4013
6d0f6bcf 4014 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
4015 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4016 The default address is zero.
4017
6d0f6bcf 4018 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
4019 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4020 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4021 would require six bits.
4022
6d0f6bcf 4023 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 4024 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
ba56f625 4025 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
c609719b 4026
6d0f6bcf 4027 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
4028 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4029 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4030
6d0f6bcf 4031 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
4032 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4033 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4034 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4035 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4036 byte chips.
4037
4038 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4039 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4040 in the chip address.
4041
6d0f6bcf 4042 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
4043 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.

4045 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4046 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4047 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4048
4049 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4050 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4051 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4052 EEPROM. For example:
4053
ea818dbb 4054 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
548738b4
HS
4055
4056 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over

4076
4077 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4078 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4079
4080 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4081 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4082 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 4083 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7
LG
4084
4085BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4086"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa
LG
4087environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4088but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
0a85a9e7 4089
51bfee19 4090- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
13a5695b

JCPV
4095 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4096 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:

4098 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
fdd813de
SW
4099 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4100 aligned to an erase block boundary.
5779d8d9 4101
fdd813de 4102 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
e443c944 4103
0e8d1586 4104 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
4105 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4106 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 4107 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
4108 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4109
4110 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4111
4112 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4113 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4114 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4115 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4116 the range to be avoided.
4117
4118 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4119
4120 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4121 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4122 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4123 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4124 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
e443c944 4125
b74ab737
GL
4126- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4127
4128 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4129 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4130 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4131
2b74433f
JH
4132- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4133
4134 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4135 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4136 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4137
4138 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4139
4140 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4141
4142 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4143
4144 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4145 environment in.
4146
785881f7
JH
4147 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4148
4149 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4150 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4151 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4152
2b74433f
JH
4153 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4154 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

4156 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4157 when storing the env in UBI.
4158
06e4ae5f
SW
4159- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4160
4161 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4162 environment.
4163
4164 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4165
4166 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4167
4168 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4169
4170 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4171 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4172 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4173
4174 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4175 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4176
4177 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4178 area within the specified MMC device.
4179
5c088ee8
SW
4180 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4181 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4182 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4183 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4184 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4185 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4186 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4187
06e4ae5f
SW
4188 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4189 MMC sector boundary.
4190
4191 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4192
4193 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4194 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4195 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4196 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4197
5c088ee8
SW
4198 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4199 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4200
06e4ae5f
SW
4201 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4202 an MMC sector boundary.
4203
4204 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4205
4206 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4207 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4208 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4209
6d0f6bcf 4210- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
4211
4212 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4213 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4214 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4215 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4216 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4217 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4218 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4219
e881cb56 4220Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 4221has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 4222created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
4223until then to read environment variables.
4224
85ec0bcc
WD
4225The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4226is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4227with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4228necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4229"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4230have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
4231
4232Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4233the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 4234use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 4235
6d0f6bcf 4236- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
42d1f039 4237 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
fc3e2165 4238
6d0f6bcf 4239 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
fc3e2165
WD
4240 also needs to be defined.
4241
6d0f6bcf 4242- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

4247 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4248 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4249 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4250 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

4252- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4253 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on

4255 to do this.
4256
e2e3e2b1
SG
4257- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4258 Similar to the previous option, but display this information

4276 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4277 PowerPC SOCs.
4278
4279- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4280 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4281 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4282
4283 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4284 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4285
4286- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4287 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4288 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 4289 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
4290 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4291 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4292 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4293
4294 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4295 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4296
4297- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
4298 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4299 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
4300 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4301 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4302
4303- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4304 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4305 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4306 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4307
4308- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4309 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4310 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4338- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4339 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4340 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4341 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4342 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4343 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4344 is requierd.

4378 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
6d0f6bcf 4379 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must

844f07d8
WD
4574 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4575 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4576 relocate itself into RAM.
4577
4578 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4579 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4580 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4581 these initializations itself.

4598- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4599 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4600 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4601 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4602 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4603 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4604 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4605 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

4633The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4634loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4635This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros

4637within that device.
4638
dcf1d774
ZQ
4639- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4640 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The

4647 is also specified.
4648
4649- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4650 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4651 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4652 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4653 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4654
4655- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4656 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4657 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4658 virtual address in NOR flash.

4679Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4680---------------------------------------------------------
4681The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4682"firmware".
4683This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4684are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4685within that device.
4686
4687- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4688 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4689
4690- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4691 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4692 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4693 is also specified.
4694
4695- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4696 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4697 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4698 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4699 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4700
4701- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4702 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as

4706Building the Software:
4707======================
4708
218ca724
WD
4709Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4710and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4711all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4712(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4713recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4714which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 4715
218ca724
WD
4716If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4717have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4718you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4719Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4720necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 4721
218ca724
WD
4722 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4723 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 4724
2f8d396b
PT
4725Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4726 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4727 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4728 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4729
4730 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4731
4732 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4733 be executed on computers running Windows.
4734
218ca724
WD
4735U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4736sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
4737is done by typing:
4738
4739 make NAME_config
4740
218ca724 4741where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 4742rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 4743
2729af9d
WD
4744Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4745 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4746 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4747 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 4748 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
4749
4750 make TQM823L_config
4751 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4752
4753 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4754 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4755
4756 etc.
4757
4758
4759Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4760images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4761
4762- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4763- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4764- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4765
baf31249
MB
4766By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4767in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4768this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4769
47701. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4771
4772 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4773 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4774 make O=/tmp/build all
4775
47762. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4777
4778 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4779 make distclean
4780 make NAME_config
4781 make all

4783Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4784variable.

4786
4787Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4788for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4789native "make".
4790
4791
4792If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4793to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4794steps:
4795
47961. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
4797 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4798 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
47992. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4800 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4801 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
48023. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4803 your board
48043. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4805 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
48064. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
48075. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4808 to be installed on your target system.
48096. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4810 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

4813Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4814==============================================================
4815
218ca724
WD
4816If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4817or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
4818provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4819the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 4820official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 4821
218ca724
WD
4822But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4823cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
4824the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4825just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
4826for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4827select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4828environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4829you can type
2729af9d
WD
4830
4831 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4832
4833or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4834
4835 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4836
218ca724
WD
4837When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4838U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4839setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4840built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4841<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4842location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4843variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
4844
4845 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4846 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4847 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4848
218ca724
WD
4849With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4850log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4851during the whole build process.

4914Environment Variables:
4915======================
4916
4917U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4918can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 4919
2729af9d
WD
4920Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4921"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4922without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4923environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4924working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4925environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 4926
c96f86ee
WD
4927Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4928
4929List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
c609719b 4930
2729af9d 4931 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
c609719b 4932
2729af9d 4933 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
c609719b 4934
2729af9d 4935 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 4936
2729af9d 4937 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 4938
2729af9d 4939 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 4940
7d721e34
BS
4941 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4942 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4943 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4944 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4945 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4946 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
4947 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4948 bootm_mapsize.
4949
c0f40859 4950 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
4951 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4952 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4953 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4954 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4955 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4956 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
4957
4958 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4959 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4960 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4961 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4962 environment variable.
4963
4bae9090
BS
4964 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4965 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4966 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4967
2729af9d
WD
4968 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4969 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4970 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4971 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 4972
2729af9d
WD
4973 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4974 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4975 be automatically started (by internally calling
4976 "bootm")
38b99261 4977
2729af9d
WD
4978 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4979 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4980 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4981 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4982 data.
c609719b 4983
a28afca5
DL
4984 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4985 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
4986 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4987 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4988 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4989 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4990 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4991 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4992 access it during the boot procedure.
4993
a28afca5
DL
4994 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4995 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4996 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4997 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4998 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4999 must be accessible by the kernel.
5000
eea63e05
SG
5001 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5002 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5003 defined.
5004
17ea1177
WD
5005 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5006 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5007 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5008 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5009 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5010
2729af9d
WD
5011 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5012 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5013 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5014 is usually what you want since it allows for
5015 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5016 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 5017 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
5018 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5019 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5020 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5021 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 5022
2729af9d
WD
5023 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5024 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5025 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5026 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5027 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5028 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 5029
2729af9d 5030 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 5031
2729af9d
WD
5032 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5033 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5034 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5035 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5036 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5037 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5038 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 5039
2729af9d 5040 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 5041
2729af9d
WD
5042 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5043 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
c609719b 5044
2729af9d 5045 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
a3d991bd 5046
2729af9d 5047 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
a3d991bd 5048
2729af9d 5049 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
a3d991bd 5050
2729af9d 5051 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
a3d991bd 5052
2729af9d 5053 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
c609719b 5054
e2a53458 5055 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
c609719b 5056
e2a53458
MF
5057 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5058 For example you can do the following
c609719b 5059
48690d80
HS
5060 => setenv ethact FEC
5061 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5062 => setenv ethact SCC
5063 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
c609719b 5064
e1692577
MF
5065 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5066 available network interfaces.
5067 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5068
c96f86ee 5069 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
5070 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5071 When set to "once" the network operation will
5072 fail when all the available network interfaces
5073 are tried once without success.
5074 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5075 themselves.
c609719b 5076
b4e2f89d 5077 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 5078
8d51aacd
SG
5079 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5080 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5081 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5082 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5083 is silent.
5084
28cb9375 5085 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
5086 UDP source port.
5087
28cb9375
WD
5088 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5089 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5090
c96f86ee
WD
5091 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5092 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5093
5094 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5095 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5096 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5097 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5098 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5099 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5100 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5101
5102 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 5103 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 5104 VLAN tagged frames.
c609719b 5105

5106The following image location variables contain the location of images
5107used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5108not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5109variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5110server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5111loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5112flash or offset in NAND flash.
5113
5114*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5115boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5116boards use these variables for other purposes.

5142 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5143 as type string and/or serial number
5144 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 5145
2729af9d
WD
5146These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5147the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5148once they have been set once.

5162Callback functions for environment variables:
5163---------------------------------------------
5164
5165For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5166when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5167be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5168deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5169effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5170
5171The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5172U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5173
5174These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5175static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5176in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5177associations. The list must be in the following format:
5178
5179 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5180 list = entry[,list]
5181
5182If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5183Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5184
5185Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5186with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5187override any association in the static list. You can define
5188CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5189".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

5192Command Line Parsing:
5193=====================
f07771cc 5194
2729af9d
WD
5195There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5196the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 5197
2729af9d
WD
5198Old, simple command line parser:
5199--------------------------------
c609719b 5200
2729af9d
WD
5201- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5202- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 5203- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
5204- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5205 for example:
fe126d8b 5206 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
5207- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5208 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 5209
2729af9d
WD
5210Hush shell:
5211-----------
c609719b 5212
2729af9d
WD
5213- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5214 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5215 until...do...done, ...
5216- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5217 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5218 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5219 command
5220
5221General rules:
5222--------------
c609719b 5223
2729af9d
WD
5224(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5225 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5226 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5227 executed anyway.
c609719b 5228
2729af9d 5229(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 5230 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
5231 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5232 variables are not executed.

5234Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5235=======================================
c609719b 5236
11ccc33f 5237Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
5238such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5239"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 5240
2729af9d
WD
5241Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5242MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5243"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 5244
2729af9d
WD
5245If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5246in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5247ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5248variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 5249
2729af9d
WD
5250o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5251 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 5252
2729af9d
WD
5253o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5254 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5255 used.
c609719b 5256
2729af9d
WD
5257o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5258 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 5259
2729af9d
WD
5260o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5261 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5262 warning is printed.
c609719b 5263
2729af9d
WD
5264o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5265 is raised.
c609719b 5266
ecee9324 5267If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 5268will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
5269may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5270The naming convention is as follows:
5271"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

5273Image Formats:
5274==============
c609719b 5275
3310c549
MB
5276U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5277images in two formats:
5278
5279New uImage format (FIT)
5280-----------------------
5281
5282Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5283to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5284components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5285SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5286
5287
5288Old uImage format
5289-----------------
5290
5291Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5292preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5293details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

2729af9d

5309The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5310and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5311CRC32 checksums.

5314Linux Support:
5315==============
c609719b 5316
2729af9d
WD
5317Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5318easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5319U-Boot.
c609719b 5320
2729af9d
WD
5321U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5322special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5323"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5324instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5325serves several purposes:
c609719b 5326
2729af9d
WD
5327- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5328 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5329 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 5330
2729af9d
WD
5331- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5332 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 5333
2729af9d
WD
5334- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5335 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5336 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5337 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5338 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5339 software is easier now.

5342Linux HOWTO:
5343============
c609719b 5344
2729af9d
WD
5345Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5346---------------------------------------
c609719b 5347
2729af9d
WD
5348U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5349configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5350(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5351Linux :-).
c609719b 5352
a47a12be 5353But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 5354
2729af9d
WD
5355Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5356include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
5357Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5358and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 5359as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 5360
2eb31b13
SG
5361Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5362If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5363is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5364doc/driver-model.
5365
c609719b 5366
2729af9d
WD
5367Configuring the Linux kernel:
5368-----------------------------
c609719b 5369
2729af9d
WD
5370No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5371device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5372
5373
5374Building a Linux Image:
5375-----------------------
c609719b 5376
2729af9d
WD
5377With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5378not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5379"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5380U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5381which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5382100% compatible format.
5383
5384Example:
5385
5386 make TQM850L_config
5387 make oldconfig
5388 make dep
5389 make uImage
5390
5391The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5392encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5393CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5394
5395* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5396
5397* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5398
5399 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5400 -R .note -R .comment \
5401 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5402
5403* compress the binary image:
5404
5405 gzip -9 linux.bin
5406
5407* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5408
5409 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5410 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5411 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 5412
c609719b 5413
2729af9d
WD
5414The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5415with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5416combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5417byte header containing information about target architecture,
5418operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5419stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5420
5421"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5422print the header information, or to build new images.
5423
5424In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5425contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5426checksum verification:
c609719b 5427
2729af9d
WD
5428 tools/mkimage -l image
5429 -l ==> list image header information
5430
5431The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5432from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5433
5434 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5435 -n name -d data_file image
5436 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5437 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5438 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5439 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5440 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5441 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5442 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5443 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5444
69459791
WD
5445Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5446address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5447kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
5448
5449- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5450- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5451
5452So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5453
5454 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5455 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5456 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD
5457 > examples/uImage.TQM850L

5462 Load Address: 0x00000000
5463 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5464
5465To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5466
5467 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5468 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

5472 Load Address: 0x00000000
5473 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5474
5475NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5476speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5477needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5478need to be uncompressed:
5479
a47a12be 5480 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d
WD
5481 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5482 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5483 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \

5491
5492
5493Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5494when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5495
5496 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5497 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5498 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

5503 Load Address: 0x00000000
5504 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5505
a804b5ce
GMF
5506The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5507option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5508option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5509from the image:
5510
5511 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5512 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
5513 indexed by 'position'
5514
2729af9d
WD
5515
5516Installing a Linux Image:
5517-------------------------
5518
5519To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5520you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5521
5522 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5523
5524The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5525image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5526address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5527specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5528command.
5529
5530Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5531TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5532
5533 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5534
5535 .......... done
5536 Erased 8 sectors
5537

218ca724 5550this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data

5568memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5569of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5570parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5571"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5572
5573
5574 => printenv bootargs
5575 bootargs=root=/dev/ram

5647Boot Linux and pass a flat device tree:
5648-----------
5649
5650First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
5651titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
5652following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
5653flat device tree:

5696More About U-Boot Image Types:
5697------------------------------
5698
5699U-Boot supports the following image types:
5700
5701 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5702 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5703 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5704 the Standalone Program.
5705 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5706 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5707 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5708 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5709 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5710 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5711 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5712 being started.
5713 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5714 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5715 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5716 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5717 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5718 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5719
5720 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5721 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5722 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5723 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5724 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5725 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5726
5727 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5728 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5729 flash memory.
5730
5731 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5732 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5733 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5734 as command interpreter.

5736Booting the Linux zImage:
5737-------------------------
5738
5739On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5740using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5741as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5742
8ac28563 5743Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
017e1f3f
MV
5744kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5745address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5746format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5749Standalone HOWTO:
5750=================
5751
5752One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5753run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5754U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5755
5756Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5757
5758"Hello World" Demo:
5759-------------------
5760
5761'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5762application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5763It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5764like that:
5765
5766 => loads
5767 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5768 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
5769 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5770 [file transfer complete]
5771 [connected]
5772 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5773
5774 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5775 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5776 Hello World
5777 argc = 7
5778 argv[0] = "40004"
5779 argv[1] = "Hello"
5780 argv[2] = "World!"
5781 argv[3] = "This"
5782 argv[4] = "is"
5783 argv[5] = "a"
5784 argv[6] = "test."
5785 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5786 Hit any key to exit ...
5787
5788 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5789
5790Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5791handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5792Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5793The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5794character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5795controlled by the following keys:
5796
5797 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5798 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5799 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5800 q - quit application
5801
5802 => loads

5837Minicom warning:
5838================
5839
5840Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5841"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5842consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5843Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5844especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
5845use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5846http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5847for help with kermit.
5848

5849
5850Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5851configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:

5858NetBSD Notes:
5859=============
5860
5861Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5862(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5863
5864Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5865NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5866need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5867Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5868attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5869missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5870
5871 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5872 # mkdir powerpc
5873 # ln -s powerpc machine
5874 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5875 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5876
5877Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5878and U-Boot include files.
5879
5880Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5881stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5882proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5883tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 5884meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5887Implementation Internals:
5888=========================
5889
5890The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5891implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5892inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5893hardware.
5894
5895
5896Initial Stack, Global Data:
5897---------------------------
5898
5899The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5900starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5901system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5902This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5903is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5904at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5905options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5906models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5907MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5908locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5909
218ca724 5910 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 5911 U-Boot mailing list:

5916 ...
5917
5918 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5919 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5920 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5921 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5922 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 5923 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
5924 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5925 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5926
5927 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5928 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 5929 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
5930 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5931 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5932 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5933 used.
5934
6d0f6bcf 5935 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
5936 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5937 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 5938 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
5939 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5940 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5941 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5942 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5943 you get the config right.

5947
5948It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5949code for the initialization procedures:
5950
5951* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5952 to write it.
5953
11ccc33f 5954* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
5955 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5956 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5957
5958* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5959 that.
5960
5961Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5962normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5963turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5964simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5965functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5966functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5967the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5968place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5969reserve for this purpose.
5970
5971When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5972relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5973GCC's implementation.
5974
5975For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5976 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 5977 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
5978 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5979 R5-R10: parameter passing
5980 R13: small data area pointer
5981 R30: GOT pointer
5982 R31: frame pointer
5983
e6bee808
JT
5984 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5985 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5986 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 5987
e7670f6c 5988 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
5989
5990 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5991 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5992 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5993 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5994 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5995 624 text + 127 data).

6043Memory Management:
6044------------------
6045
6046U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6047MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6048
6049The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6050controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6051memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6052physical memory banks.
6053
6054U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6055TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6056booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6057to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 6058memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
6059configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6060Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6061
6062Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6063of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6064
6065So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6066this:
6067
6068 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6069 :
6070 0x0000 1FFF
6071 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6072 :
6073 :
6074
6075 :
6076 :
6077 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6078 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6079 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6080 :
6081 0x00FD FFFF

6088System Initialization:
6089----------------------
c609719b 6090
2729af9d 6091In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 6092(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
6093configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6094To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6095To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6096initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6097which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6098part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6099the caches and the SIU.
6100
6101Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6102preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6103(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6104on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6105programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6106simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6107banks.
6108
6109When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6110different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6111bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
61120x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6113contiguous memory starting from 0.
6114
6115Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6116and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6117Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6118pages, and the final stack is set up.
6119
6120Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6121until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6122running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6123new address in RAM.

6200Coding Standards:
6201-----------------
c609719b 6202
2729af9d 6203All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
2c051651 6204coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
7ca9296e 6205"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
2c051651
DZ
6206
6207Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6208MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6209reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6210sources.
6211
6212Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6213Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6214in your code.
c609719b 6215
2729af9d
WD
6216Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6217- remove any trailing white space
7ca9296e 6218- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
2729af9d 6219- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
7ca9296e 6220- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
2729af9d 6221- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
180d3f74 6222
2729af9d
WD
6223Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6224with a request to reformat the changes.

6227Submitting Patches:
6228-------------------
c609719b 6229
2729af9d
WD
6230Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6231establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6232may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
c609719b 6233
0d28f34b 6234Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
218ca724 6235
0668236b
WD
6236Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6237see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6238
2729af9d
WD
6239When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6240it:
c609719b 6241
2729af9d
WD
6242* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6243 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6244 patch actually fixes something.
c609719b 6245
2729af9d
WD
6246* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6247 implementation.
c609719b 6248
2729af9d 6249* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
c609719b 6250
2729af9d 6251* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
c609719b 6252
27af930e
AA
6253* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6254 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
c609719b 6255
2729af9d
WD
6256* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6257 document these in the README file.
c609719b 6258
218ca724
WD
6259* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6260 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 6261 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
6262 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6263 with some other mail clients.
6264
6265 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6266 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6267 GNU diff.
c609719b 6268
218ca724
WD
6269 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6270 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6271 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6272 affected files).
6dff5529 6273
218ca724
WD
6274 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6275 and compressed attachments must not be used.
c609719b 6276
2729af9d
WD
6277* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6278 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
52f52c14 6279
2729af9d
WD
6280* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6281 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

2729af9d 6284Notes:
c609719b 6285
2729af9d
WD
6286* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6287 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6288 for any of the boards.
c609719b 6289
2729af9d
WD
6290* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6291 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6292 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
c609719b 6293
2729af9d
WD
6294* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6295 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6296 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6297 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6298 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6299 modification.

WD
6301* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6302 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6303 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6304 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
