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.

225Software Configuration:
226=======================
227
228Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
230
231There are two classes of configuration variables:
232
233* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
235 "CONFIG_".
236
237* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 240 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
241
242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
246as an example here.
247
248
249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
250---------------------------------------------------
251
252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
ab584d67 253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
c609719b
WD
254
255Example: For a TQM823L module type:
256
257 cd u-boot
ab584d67 258 make TQM823L_defconfig
c609719b 259
11ccc33f 260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
ab584d67 261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
c609719b
WD
262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.

265Sandbox Environment:
266--------------------
267
268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
271run some of U-Boot's tests.

276Board Initialisation Flow:
277--------------------------
278
279This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
280SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL
281mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each
282function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this.
283At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
284
285Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after
286that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below.
287
288lowlevel_init():
289 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
290 - no global_data or BSS
291 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
292 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
293 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
294 board_init_f()
295 - this is almost never needed
296 - return normally from this function
297
298board_init_f():
299 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
300 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
301 - global_data is available
302 - stack is in SRAM
303 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
304 only stack variables and global_data
305
306 Non-SPL-specific notes:
307 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
308 can do nothing
309
310 SPL-specific notes:
311 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
312 version as needed.
313 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
314 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
315 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
316 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
317 directly)
318
319Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
320this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
321CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
322memory.
323
324board_init_r():
325 - purpose: main execution, common code
326 - global_data is available
327 - SDRAM is available
328 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
329 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
330
331 Non-SPL-specific notes:
332 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
333 there.
334
335 SPL-specific notes:
336 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
337 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
338 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
339 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
340 spl_board_init() function containing this call
341 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux

345Configuration Options:
346----------------------
347
348Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
349such information is kept in a configuration file
350"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
351
352Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
353"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
354
355
7f6c2cbc
WD
356Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
357kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
358build a config tool - later.

75d1ea7f 411
ba56f625
WD
412 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
413 of relying on the correctness of the configured
414 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
415 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
416 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 417 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
75d1ea7f 418
506f3918
HS

422 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
423
66412c63 424- 85xx CPU Options:
ffd06e02
YS
425 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
426
427 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
428 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
429 compliance, among other possible reasons.
430
66412c63
KG
431 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
432
433 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
434 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
435 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
436
8f29084a
KG
437 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
438
439 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
440 tree nodes for the given platform.
441
afa6b551
PK
442 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
443
444 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
445 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
446 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
447 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
448 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
449 purpose.

SW
451 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
452
453 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
454 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
455 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
456
457 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
458 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
459
460 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
461 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
462
463 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
464 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
465 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
466 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
467
468 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
469 this erratum.
470
74fa22ed
PK
471 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
472 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
b445bbb4 473 required during NOR boot.

700- Driver Model
701 Driver model is a new framework for devices in U-Boot
702 introduced in early 2014. U-Boot is being progressively
703 moved over to this. It offers a consistent device structure,
704 supports grouping devices into classes and has built-in
705 handling of platform data and device tree.
706
707 To enable transition to driver model in a relatively
708 painful fashion, each subsystem can be independently
709 switched between the legacy/ad-hoc approach and the new
710 driver model using the options below. Also, many uclass
711 interfaces include compatibility features which may be
712 removed once the conversion of that subsystem is complete.
713 As a result, the API provided by the subsystem may in fact
714 not change with driver model.
715
716 See doc/driver-model/README.txt for more information.
717
718 CONFIG_DM
719
720 Enable driver model. This brings in the core support,
721 including scanning of platform data on start-up. If
722 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is enabled, the device tree will be
723 scanned also when available.
724
725 CONFIG_CMD_DM
726
727 Enable driver model test commands. These allow you to print
728 out the driver model tree and the uclasses.
729
730 CONFIG_DM_DEMO
731
732 Enable some demo devices and the 'demo' command. These are
733 really only useful for playing around while trying to
734 understand driver model in sandbox.
735
736 CONFIG_SPL_DM
737
738 Enable driver model in SPL. You will need to provide a
739 suitable malloc() implementation. If you are not using the
740 full malloc() enabled by CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START,
741 consider using CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE. In that case you
742 must provide CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to set the size.
743 In most cases driver model will only allocate a few uclasses
744 and devices in SPL, so 1KB should be enable. See
745 CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN for more details on how to enable
746 it.
747
748 CONFIG_DM_SERIAL
749
750 Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
751 drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
752 implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
753 defined in include/serial.h.
754
755 CONFIG_DM_GPIO
756
757 Enable driver model for GPIO access. The standard GPIO
758 interface (gpio_get_value(), etc.) is then implemented by
759 the GPIO uclass. Drivers provide methods to query the
760 particular GPIOs that they provide. The uclass interface
761 is defined in include/asm-generic/gpio.h.
762
763 CONFIG_DM_SPI
764
765 Enable driver model for SPI. The SPI slave interface
766 (spi_setup_slave(), spi_xfer(), etc.) is then implemented by
767 the SPI uclass. Drivers provide methods to access the SPI
768 buses that they control. The uclass interface is defined in
769 include/spi.h. The existing spi_slave structure is attached
770 as 'parent data' to every slave on each bus. Slaves
771 typically use driver-private data instead of extending the
772 spi_slave structure.
773
774 CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH
775
776 Enable driver model for SPI flash. This SPI flash interface
777 (spi_flash_probe(), spi_flash_write(), etc.) is then
778 implemented by the SPI flash uclass. There is one standard
779 SPI flash driver which knows how to probe most chips
780 supported by U-Boot. The uclass interface is defined in
781 include/spi_flash.h, but is currently fully compatible
782 with the old interface to avoid confusion and duplication
783 during the transition parent. SPI and SPI flash must be
784 enabled together (it is not possible to use driver model
785 for one and not the other).
786
787 CONFIG_DM_CROS_EC
788
789 Enable driver model for the Chrome OS EC interface. This
790 allows the cros_ec SPI driver to operate with CONFIG_DM_SPI
791 but otherwise makes few changes. Since cros_ec also supports
792 I2C and LPC (which don't support driver model yet), a full
793 conversion is not yet possible.
794
795
796 ** Code size options: The following options are enabled by
797 default except in SPL. Enable them explicitly to get these
798 features in SPL.
799
800 CONFIG_DM_WARN
801
802 Enable the dm_warn() function. This can use up quite a bit
803 of space for its strings.
804
805 CONFIG_DM_STDIO
806
807 Enable registering a serial device with the stdio library.
808
809 CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE
810
811 Enable removing of devices.

c609719b
WD
814 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
815
816 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
817 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
818 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
819 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
820 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
821 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
822 Linux kernel.
c609719b 823 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 824 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

876 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and

1029- Console Rx buffer length
1030 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
1031 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
2b3f12c2 1032 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
c92fac91
HS
1033 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
1034 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
1035 the SMC.

9558b48a 1037- Pre-Console Buffer:
4cf2609b
WD
1038 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
1039 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
1040 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
1041 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
1042 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
1043 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
1044 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 1045 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
1046 earlier bytes are discarded.
1047
1048 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
1049 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

1055 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
1056 If this option is not given then these functions will
1057 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
1058 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.

1094 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 1095 RAM and NFS.

1097- Bootcount:
1098 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1099 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
1100 cycle, see:
1101 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
1102
1103 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
1104 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1105 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1106 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1107 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1108 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1109 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1110 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1111 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1112
c609719b

1113- Pre-Boot Commands:
1114 CONFIG_PREBOOT
1115
1116 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1117 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1118 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1119 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1120 entering interactive mode.
1121
1122 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1123 automatically generated or modified. For an example
1124 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1125 modified when the user holds down a certain
1126 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1127 booting the systems
1128
1129- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1130 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1131 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1132 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1133 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1134 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1135 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1136 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

1283- Regular expression support:
1284 CONFIG_REGEX
93e14596
WD
1285 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1286 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1287 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1288 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
a5ecbe62 1289

1290- Device tree:
1291 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1292 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1293 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1294 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1295 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1296 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1297
2c0f79e4
SG
1298 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1299 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
1300
1301 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1302 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1303 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1304 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1305 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1306 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 1307
2c0f79e4
SG
1308 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1309 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1310 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1311 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1312
1313 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1314
1315 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1316 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1317 still use the individual files if you need something more
1318 exotic.

1324 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1325 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1326 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1327 available, then no further board specific code should
1328 be needed to use it.
1329
1330 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1331 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used

1380- I/O tracing:
1381 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1382 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1383 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1384 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1385 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1386 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1387 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1388 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1389
1390 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1391 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1392 still continue to operate.
1393
1394 iotrace is enabled
1395 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1396 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)

1816- USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1817 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1818 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1819 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1820 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1821 used on Android devices.
1822 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1823
1824 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1825 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1826 image format header.
1827
1828 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1829 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1830 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1831 downloaded images.
1832
1833 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1834 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1835 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1836 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
d1b5ed07
SR
1837
1838 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1839 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1840 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1841 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1842
1843 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1844 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1845 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1846 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
3aab70af 1847
0ff7e585
SR
1848 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1849 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1850 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1851 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1852 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1853 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1854 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1855 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.

2041
b445bbb4 2042 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
676d319e
SG
2043 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
2044 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
2045 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
2046 a per-section basis.

7152b1d0 2064- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 2065
8bde7f77
WD
2066 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
2067 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
2068 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 2069 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
2070 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
2071 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
2072 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
2073 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 2074
c0880485
NK
2075 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
2076
2077 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
2078 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1551df35 2079 (see README.displaying-bmps).
c0880485
NK
2080 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
2081 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
2082 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
2083 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
2084 there is no need to set this option.
2085
1ca298ce
MW
2086 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2087
2088 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2089 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2090 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2091 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2092 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2093 specify 'm' for centering the image.
2094
2095 Example:
2096 setenv splashpos m,m
2097 => image at center of screen
2098
2099 setenv splashpos 30,20
2100 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
2101
2102 setenv splashpos -10,m
2103 => vertically centered image
2104 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

SR
2106- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2107
2108 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2109 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2110 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2111

2112- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2113
2114 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2115 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2116 bmp command.

f2b96dfb
LW
2119 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2120
2121 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2122 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2123
c29fdfc1 2124- Compression support:
8ef70478
KC
2125 CONFIG_GZIP
2126
2127 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2128
c29fdfc1
WD
2129 CONFIG_BZIP2
2130
2131 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2132 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2133 compressed images are supported.
2134
42d1f039 2135 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 2136 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 2137 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 2138
fc9c1727
LCM
2139 CONFIG_LZMA
2140
2141 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2142 images is included.
2143
2144 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2145 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2146 formula:
2147
2148 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2149
2150 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2151 and Literal pos bits.
2152
2153 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2154 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2155 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2156 a very small buffer.
2157
2158 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2159 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 2160 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
fc9c1727 2161
8ef70478
KC
2162 CONFIG_LZO

2173
2174 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2175
2176 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE

11ccc33f 2179 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
2180
2181 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2182
2183 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2184 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2185 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2186 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2187
2188 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)

2237 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2238 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2239 forwarded through a router.

2242- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2243 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2244
2245 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2246 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 2247 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
53a5c424
DU
2248 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2249 multicast group.
2250
c609719b
WD
2251- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2252 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2253
2254 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2255 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2256 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2257 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2258 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2259 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2260 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2261 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 2262 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
2263
2264 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2265 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2266 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2267 4th and following
2268 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2269
92ac8acc
TR
2270 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2271
2272 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2273 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2274 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2275 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2276 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2277 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2278 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2279 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2280 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2281 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2282 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2283 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2284 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2285 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2286 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

fe389a82 2288- DHCP Advanced Options:
1fe80d79
JL
2289 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2290 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2291
2292 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2293 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2294 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2295 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2296 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2297 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2298 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2299 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
2300 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2301 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2302 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET

fe389a82 2305
5d110f0a
WC
2306 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2307 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 2308
2c00e099
JH
2309 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2310 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2311 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2312 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2313 is not available.
2314
fe389a82
SR
2315 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2316 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2317 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2318 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2319 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2320 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2321 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 2322 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
2323
2324 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2325 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2326 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 2327 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
2328 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2329 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 2330

AV
2331 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2332
2333 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2334 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2335 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2336 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2337 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2338 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2339 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2340 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2341 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2342 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2343 this delay.

2345 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2346 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2347 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2348 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2349 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

2357
2358 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2359
2360 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2361 of the device.
2362
2363 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2364
2365 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2366 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
11ccc33f 2367 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
a3d991bd
WD
2368
2369 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES

2395- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2396
2397 Several configurations allow to display the current
2398 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2399 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2400 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2401 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2402 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2403 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2404 feature in U-Boot.
2405
1df7bbba
IG
2406 Additional options:
2407
2408 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2409 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2410 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2411 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2412 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2413
9dfdcdfe
IG
2414 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2415 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2416 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2417 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2418 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2419 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2420

2421- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2422
2423 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2424 on those systems that support this (optional)
2425 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2426
3f4978c7
HS
2427- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2428
2429 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2430 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2431 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2432 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2433 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2434 interface.

2555 additional defines:
2556

2562
2563 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2564 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2565 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2566 omit this define.
2567
2568 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2569 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected

2571 define.
2572
2573 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
b445bbb4 2574 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
3f4978c7

ea818dbb 2603- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
3f4978c7
HS
2604
2605 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2606 provides the following compelling advantages:
2607
2608 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2609 - approved multibus support
2610 - better i2c mux support
2611
2612 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2613
ea818dbb
HS
2614 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2615 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2616 for the selected CPU.
c609719b 2617
945af8d7 2618 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 2619 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
2620 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2621 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 2622 command line interface.
c609719b 2623
bb99ad6d 2624 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 2625
945af8d7 2626 There are several other quantities that must also be
ea818dbb 2627 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2628
6d0f6bcf 2629 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 2630 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 2631 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 2632 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 2633
8d321b81 2634 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 2635 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
2636 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2637 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2638 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 2639
5da71efa
EM
2640 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2641
2642 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2643 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2644 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2645 commands until the slave device responds.
2646
945af8d7 2647 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2648
ea818dbb 2649 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
b37c7e5e
WD
2650 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2651 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
2652
2653 I2C_INIT
2654
b37c7e5e 2655 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 2656 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 2657
ba56f625 2658 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 2659
c609719b
WD
2660 I2C_PORT
2661
43d9616c
WD
2662 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2663 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2664 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
2665
2666 I2C_ACTIVE
2667
2668 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2669 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2670 define can be null.
2671
b37c7e5e
WD
2672 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2673
c609719b
WD
2674 I2C_TRISTATE
2675

2708
2709 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2710 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2711 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something

2720 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will

2728 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2729 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2730 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2731 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2732 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2733 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2734 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2735 is run early in the boot sequence.

2739 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2740 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2741 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2742 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2743 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2744 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2745 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2746 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

2941- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2942
43d9616c
WD
2943 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2944 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2945 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2946 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2947 protects these variables from casual modification by
2948 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2949 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2950 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2951
2952 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2953 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2954 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2955 these parameters.
2956
2957 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2958 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2959 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2960 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2961 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2962 read-only.]
2963
2598090b
JH
2964 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2965 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2966 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2967 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2968
c609719b
WD
2969- Protected RAM:
2970 CONFIG_PRAM
2971
2972 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2973 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2974 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2975 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2976 this default value by defining an environment
2977 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2978 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2979 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2980 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2981 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2982 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2983 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2984
fe126d8b 2985 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2986 saveenv
2987
2988 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2989 either, which results in a memory region that will
2990 not be affected by reboots.
2991
2992 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2993 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2994 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2995 following board configurations are known to be
2996 "pRAM-clean":

3052 In the current implementation, the local variables
3053 space and global environment variables space are
3054 separated. Local variables are those you define by
3055 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
3056 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
3057 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
3058 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 3059
43d9616c
WD
3060 Global environment variables are those you use
3061 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored

3119 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3120 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3121 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3122
06fd8538
SG
3123 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3124
3125 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
b445bbb4 3126 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
06fd8538
SG
3127 that so that the environment is not available until
3128 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3129 this is instead controlled by the value of
3130 /config/load-environment.

a8c7c708 3132- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
3133 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3134
8bde7f77
WD
3135 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3136 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3137 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 3138
f61ec45e
EN
3139- Serial Flash support
3140 CONFIG_CMD_SF
3141
3142 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3143 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3144
3145 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3146 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3147 commands.
3148
3149 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3150 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3151 flash is present on the system.
3152
3153 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3154 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
3155 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
3156 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3157
24007273
SG
3158 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3159
3160 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3161 test ('sf test').
3162
1dcd6d03
JT
3163 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
3164
3165 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
3166 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
3167
b902e07c
JT
3168 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3169
3170 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3171 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
b445bbb4 3172 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
b902e07c 3173
562f8df1
HS
3174 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
3175 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
3176 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
3177 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
3178 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
3179 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
3180 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
3181 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
3182 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
3183 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
3184
3f85ce27
WD
3185- SystemACE Support:
3186 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3187
3188 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3189 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 3190 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 3191 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
3192
3193 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 3194 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
3195
3196 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3197 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3198
ecb0ccd9
WD
3199- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3200 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3201
28cb9375 3202 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 3203 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 3204 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
3205 number generator is used.
3206
28cb9375
WD
3207 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3208 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3209 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3210
3211 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
3212 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3213 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3214 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3215 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3216 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3217 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3218
bf36c5d5
SG
3219- Hashing support:
3220 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3221
3222 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3223 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3224
3225 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3226
3227 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3228 size a little.
3229
94e3c8c4 3230 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3231 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3232 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3233 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3234 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3235 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3236 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3237 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3238 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3239 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3240 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3241 is performed in hardware.
bf36c5d5
SG
3242
3243 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3244 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3245
a11f1873
RW
3246- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3247 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3248 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3249 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3250
3251 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3252 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3253 a boot from specific media.
3254
3255 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3256 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3257 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3258 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3259 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3260
19c402af
SG
3261- Signing support:
3262 CONFIG_RSA
3263
3264 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
8bf2aad7 3265 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
19c402af 3266
c937ff6d
RG
3267 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3268 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3269 library to function.
3270
19c402af 3271 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
c937ff6d
RG
3272 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3273 mkimage irrespective of this option.
19c402af 3274
9e50c406
HS
3275- bootcount support:
3276 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3277
3278 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3279 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3280
3281 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3282 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3283 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3284 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3285 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3286 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3287 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3288 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3289 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3290 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3291 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3292 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3293 the bootcounter.
3294 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
19c402af 3295
a8c7c708 3296- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
3297 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3298
43d9616c
WD
3299 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3300 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3301 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3302 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3303 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3304 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 3305
3a608ca0
SG
3306- Detailed boot stage timing
3307 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3308 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3309 of the boot process.
3310
3311 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3312 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3313 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3314 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3315 the limit, recording will stop.
3316
3317 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3318 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3319
3320 Timer summary in microseconds:
3321 Mark Elapsed Stage
3322 0 0 reset
3323 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3324 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9

3328 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3329 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3330
2eba38cf
SG
3331 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3332 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3333 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3334
94fd1316
SG
3335 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3336 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3337 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3338 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3339 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3340 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3341 For example:
3342
3343 bootstage {
3344 154 {
3345 name = "board_init_f";
3346 mark = <3575678>;
3347 };
3348 170 {
3349 name = "lcd";
3350 accum = <33482>;
3351 };
3352 };
3353
3354 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

94e3c8c4 3535 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. If
3536 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL is defined, i.e support for progressive
3537 hashing is available using hardware, RSA library will use it.

3564 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3565 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3566 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3567 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3568 configured panel size.

3607
3608 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3609 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3610 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3611 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3612 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3613 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3614
3615 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3616 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3617 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3618 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3619 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3620
3621 default: 4096
c654b517 3622
ff94bc40
HS
3623 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3624 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3625 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3626 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3627 flash), this value is ignored.
3628
3629 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3630 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3631 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3632 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3633 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3634 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3635
3636 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3637 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3638 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3639 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3640 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3641 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3642 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3643 partition.
3644
3645 default: 20
3646
3647 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3648 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3649 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3650 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3651 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3652 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3653 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3654 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3655 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3656 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3657 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3658 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3659
3660 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3661 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3662 without a fastmap.

3984Configuration Settings:
3985-----------------------
3986
4d1fd7f1
YS
3987- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3988 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3989
6d0f6bcf 3990- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
c609719b
WD
3991 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3992
2fb2604d
PT
3993- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3994 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3995
6d0f6bcf 3996- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
c609719b
WD
3997 prompt for user input.
3998
6d0f6bcf 3999- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
c609719b 4000
6d0f6bcf 4001- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
c609719b 4002
6d0f6bcf 4003- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
c609719b 4004
6d0f6bcf 4005- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
c609719b
WD
4006 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
4007 booted
4008
6d0f6bcf 4009- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b
WD
4010 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
4011
6d0f6bcf 4012- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 4013 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 4014
6d0f6bcf 4015- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
4016 If the board specific function
4017 extern int overwrite_console (void);
4018 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
4019 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
4020
6d0f6bcf 4021- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
8bde7f77 4022 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 4023
6d0f6bcf 4024- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
c609719b
WD
4025 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
4026
6d0f6bcf 4027- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
4028 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
4029 simple memory test.
4030
6d0f6bcf 4031- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
8bde7f77 4032 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
c609719b 4033
6d0f6bcf 4034- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
5f535fe1
WD
4035 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
4036 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
4037
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
4038- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
4039 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 4040 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 4041 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
4042 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
4043 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
4044 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 4045 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 4046 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 4047 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
4048
4049 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
4050 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
4051 be touched.
4052
4053 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
4054 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
4055 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
4056 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
4057 problems.
4058
6d0f6bcf 4059- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
c609719b
WD
4060 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
4061
6d0f6bcf 4062- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
c609719b
WD
4063 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
4064
6d0f6bcf 4065- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
c609719b
WD
4066 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
4067 Cogent motherboard)
4068
6d0f6bcf 4069- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
4070 Physical start address of Flash memory.
4071
6d0f6bcf 4072- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
4073 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
4074 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 4075 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 4076 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 4077
6d0f6bcf 4078- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
4079 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
4080 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
4081 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
4082 flash sector.
c609719b 4083
6d0f6bcf 4084- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
4085 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
4086
d59476b6
SG
4087- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
4088 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
4089 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
4090 will become available before relocation. The address is just
4091 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
4092 space.
4093
4094 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
4095 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
4096 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
b445bbb4 4097 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
d59476b6
SG
4098 U-Boot relocates itself.
4099
e7b14e9a 4100 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
29afe9e6
SG
4101 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
4102
38687ae6
SG
4103- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
4104 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
4105 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
4106 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
4107
1dfdd9ba
TR
4108- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
4109 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
4110 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
4111 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
4112 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
4113 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
4114 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
4115 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
4116 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
4117 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
4118 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
4119 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
4120 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
4121 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
4122 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
4123 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
4124
4125 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
4126
6d0f6bcf 4127- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
4128 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
4129 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 4130 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
4131 to adjust this setting to your needs.
4132
6d0f6bcf 4133- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
4134 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
4135 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
4136 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
4137 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
1bce2aeb 4138 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
7d721e34 4139 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 4140 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
4141 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4142 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
4143 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 4144
fca43cc8
JR
4145- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
4146 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
4147 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
4148 is enabled.
4149
4150- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
4151 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
4152 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4153
4154- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
4155 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
4156 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4157
6d0f6bcf 4158- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
4159 Max number of Flash memory banks
4160
6d0f6bcf 4161- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
c609719b
WD
4162 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
4163
6d0f6bcf 4164- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
4165 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
4166
6d0f6bcf 4167- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
4168 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
4169
6d0f6bcf 4170- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
4171 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
4172
6d0f6bcf 4173- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
4174 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
4175
6d0f6bcf 4176- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
4177 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
4178 instead of U-Boot software protection.
4179
6d0f6bcf 4180- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
4181
4182 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4183 without this option such a download has to be
4184 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4185 copy from RAM to flash.
4186
4187 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4188 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
4189 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4190 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
4191 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
4192
6d0f6bcf 4193- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 4194 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
4195 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
4196
00b1883a 4197- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33
WD
4198 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
4199 in the drivers directory
c609719b 4200
91809ed5
PZ
4201- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
4202 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
4203 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
4204 to the MTD layer.
4205
6d0f6bcf 4206- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
4207 Use buffered writes to flash.
4208
4209- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
4210 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
4211 write commands.
4212
6d0f6bcf 4213- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
4214 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
4215 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4216 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4217 optionally available.
4218
9a042e9c
JVB
4219- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
4220 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
4221 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
4222 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
4223
352ef3f1
SR
4224- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4225 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4226 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4227 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4228 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4229 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4230 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4231 this option if you really know what you are doing.
4232
6d0f6bcf 4233- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
4234 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4235 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
4236 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4237 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 4238 on high Ethernet traffic.
53cf9435
SR
4239 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
4240
ea882baf
WD
4241- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
4242
071bc923
WD
4243 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
4244 internally to store the environment settings. The default
4245 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
4246 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
4247 lib/hashtable.c for details.
ea882baf 4248
2598090b

4249- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4250- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
1bce2aeb 4251 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
2598090b
JH
4252 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4253 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4254 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.

b445bbb4 4279 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
2598090b
JH
4280
4281 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4282 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4283 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4284 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4285 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4286 ".flags" variable.

SG
4292- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4293 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4294 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4295 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4296 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4297 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4298 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4299 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4300 your board please report the problem and send patches!

4302- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4303 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should

4310 building U-Boot to enable this.
4311
c609719b
WD
4312The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4313of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4314following configurations:
4315
c3eb3fe4
MF
4316- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4317
4318 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4319 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4320
5a1aceb0 4321- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
4322
4323 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4324
4325 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4326 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4327 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4328 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4329 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4330 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4331 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4332 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4333 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4334 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4335 between U-Boot and the environment.
4336
0e8d1586 4337 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
4338
4339 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4340 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4341 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4342 for this sector is given here.
4343
6d0f6bcf 4344 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 4345
0e8d1586 4346 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
4347
4348 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4349 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 4350 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 4351
0e8d1586 4352 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
4353
4354 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4355
4356
4357 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4358 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4359 the environment.
4360
0e8d1586 4361 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 4362
5a1aceb0 4363 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 4364 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
4365 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4366 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4367
4368 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4369 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4370 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4371 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4372 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4373 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4374 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4375 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4376 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4377
0e8d1586
JCPV
4378 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4379 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
c609719b 4380
43d9616c 4381 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 4382 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 4383 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 4384 a "saveenv" operation.
c609719b
WD
4385
4386BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4387source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4388accordingly!

4390
9314cee6 4391- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD

4402 can just be read and written to, without any special
4403 provision.

4405BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
b445bbb4 4406in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 4407console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
4408U-Boot will hang.
4409
4410Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the

4412keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4413to save the current settings.

WD
4448 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4449 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4450 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4451 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4452 byte chips.
4453
4454 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4455 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4456 in the chip address.

4561 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4562
4563 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4564
4565 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4566 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4567 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4568 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4569 the range to be avoided.
4570
4571 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4572
4573 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4574 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4575 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.

4613 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4614
4615 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4616
4617 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4618
4619 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4620
4621 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4622 be as following:
4623
4624 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4625 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4626 partition table.
4627 - "D:0": device D.
4628 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4629 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4630 table.
4631 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
b445bbb4 4632 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
d1db76f1
WJ
4633 partition table then means device D.
4634
4635 - FAT_ENV_FILE:

4643- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4644
4645 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4646 environment.
4647
4648 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4649
4650 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4651
4652 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4653
4654 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4655 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4656 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4657
4658 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4659 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4660
4661 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4662 area within the specified MMC device.
4663
5c088ee8
SW
4664 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4665 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4666 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4667 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4668 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4669 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4670 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4671
06e4ae5f
SW
4672 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4673 MMC sector boundary.
4674
4675 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4676
4677 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4678 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4679 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4680 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4681
5c088ee8
SW
4682 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4683 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4684
06e4ae5f
SW
4685 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4686 an MMC sector boundary.
4687
4688 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4689
4690 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4691 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4692 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4693
6d0f6bcf 4694- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
4695
4696 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4697 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4698 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4699 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4700 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4701 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4702 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4703
e881cb56 4704Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 4705has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 4706created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
4707until then to read environment variables.
4708
85ec0bcc
WD
4709The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4710is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4711with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4712necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4713"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4714have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
4715
4716Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4717the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 4718use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 4719

4731 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4732 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4733 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4734 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

4766 PowerPC SOCs.
4767
4768- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4769 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4770 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4771
4772 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4773 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4774
4775- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4776 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4777 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 4778 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
4779 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4780 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4781 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4782
4783 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4784 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4785
4786- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
4787 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4788 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
4789 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4790 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4791
4792- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4793 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4794 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4795 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4796
4797- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4798 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4799 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4842 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4843 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special

4857 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4858 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
c609719b 4859 data is located at the end of the available space
553f0982 4860 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
6d0f6bcf

4861 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just

4866 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4867 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
6d0f6bcf 4868 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
c609719b

5093 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
5094 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
5095 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
5096 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses

5185 is also specified.
5186
5187- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5188 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5189 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5190 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5191 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5192
5193- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5194 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as

5198Building the Software:
5199======================
5200
218ca724
WD
5201Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5202and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5203all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5204(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5205recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5206which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 5207
218ca724
WD
5208If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5209have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5210you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5211Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5212necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 5213
218ca724
WD
5214 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5215 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 5216
2f8d396b
PT
5217Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5218 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5219 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5220 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5221
5222 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5223
5224 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5225 be executed on computers running Windows.

5227U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5228sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This

5230
ab584d67 5231 make NAME_defconfig
c609719b 5232
ab584d67 5233where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 5234rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 5235
2729af9d
WD
5236Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5237 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5238 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5239 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 5240 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d 5241
ab584d67 5242 make TQM823L_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
5243 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5244
ab584d67 5245 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
5246 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5247
5248 etc.
5249
5250
5251Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5252images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5253
5254- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5255- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5256- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format

5258By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5259in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5260this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5261
52621. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5263
5264 make O=/tmp/build distclean
ab584d67 5265 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
baf31249
MB
5266 make O=/tmp/build all
5267
adbba996 52682. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
baf31249 5269
adbba996 5270 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
baf31249 5271 make distclean
ab584d67 5272 make NAME_defconfig
baf31249
MB
5273 make all
5274
adbba996 5275Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
baf31249
MB
5276variable.
5277
2729af9d
WD
5278
5279Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5280for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5281native "make".
5282
5283
5284If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5285to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5286steps:
5287
52881. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
5289 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5290 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
52912. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5292 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5293 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
52943. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5295 your board
52963. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5297 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
ab584d67 52984. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
2729af9d
WD
52995. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5300 to be installed on your target system.
53016. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5302 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5303
5304
5305Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5306==============================================================
5307
218ca724
WD
5308If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5309or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
5310provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5311the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 5312official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 5313
218ca724
WD
5314But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5315cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
5316the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5317just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
5318for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5319select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5320environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5321you can type
2729af9d
WD
5322
5323 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5324
5325or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5326
5327 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5328
218ca724
WD
5329When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5330U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5331setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5332built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5333<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5334location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5335variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
5336
5337 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5338 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5339 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5340
218ca724
WD
5341With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5342log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5343during the whole build process.

5406Environment Variables:
5407======================
5408
5409U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5410can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 5411
2729af9d
WD
5412Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5413"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5414without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5415environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5416working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5417environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 5418
c96f86ee
WD
5419Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5420
5421List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
c609719b 5422
2729af9d 5423 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
c609719b 5424
2729af9d 5425 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
c609719b 5426
2729af9d 5427 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 5428
2729af9d 5429 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 5430
2729af9d 5431 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 5432
7d721e34
BS
5433 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5434 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5435 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5436 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5437 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5438 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
5439 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5440 bootm_mapsize.
5441
c0f40859 5442 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
5443 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5444 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5445 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5446 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5447 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5448 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
5449
5450 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5451 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5452 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5453 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5454 environment variable.
5455
4bae9090
BS
5456 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5457 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5458 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5459
2729af9d
WD
5460 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5461 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5462 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5463 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 5464
2729af9d
WD
5465 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5466 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5467 be automatically started (by internally calling
5468 "bootm")
38b99261 5469
2729af9d
WD
5470 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5471 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5472 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5473 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5474 data.
c609719b 5475
a28afca5
DL
5476 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5477 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
5478 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5479 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5480 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5481 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5482 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5483 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5484 access it during the boot procedure.
5485
a28afca5
DL
5486 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5487 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5488 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5489 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5490 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5491 must be accessible by the kernel.
5492
eea63e05
SG
5493 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5494 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5495 defined.
5496
17ea1177
WD
5497 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5498 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5499 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5500 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5501 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5502
2729af9d
WD
5503 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5504 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5505 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5506 is usually what you want since it allows for
5507 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5508 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 5509 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
5510 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5511 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5512 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5513 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 5514
2729af9d
WD
5515 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5516 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5517 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5518 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5519 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5520 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 5521
2729af9d 5522 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 5523
2729af9d
WD
5524 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5525 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5526 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5527 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5528 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5529 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5530 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 5531
2729af9d 5532 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 5533
2729af9d
WD
5534 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5535 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
c609719b 5536
2729af9d 5537 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
a3d991bd 5538
2729af9d 5539 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
a3d991bd 5540
2729af9d 5541 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
a3d991bd 5542
2729af9d 5543 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
a3d991bd 5544
2729af9d 5545 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
c609719b 5546
e2a53458 5547 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
c609719b 5548
e2a53458
MF
5549 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5550 For example you can do the following
c609719b 5551
48690d80
HS
5552 => setenv ethact FEC
5553 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5554 => setenv ethact SCC
5555 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
c609719b 5556
e1692577
MF
5557 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5558 available network interfaces.
5559 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5560
c96f86ee 5561 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
5562 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5563 When set to "once" the network operation will
5564 fail when all the available network interfaces
5565 are tried once without success.
5566 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5567 themselves.
c609719b 5568
b4e2f89d 5569 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 5570
b445bbb4 5571 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
8d51aacd
SG
5572 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5573 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5574 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5575 is silent.
5576
28cb9375 5577 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
5578 UDP source port.
5579
28cb9375
WD
5580 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5581 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5582
c96f86ee
WD
5583 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5584 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5585
5586 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5587 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5588 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5589 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5590 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5591 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5592 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5593
5594 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 5595 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 5596 VLAN tagged frames.
c609719b 5597

5598The following image location variables contain the location of images
5599used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5600not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5601variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5602server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5603loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5604flash or offset in NAND flash.
5605
5606*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5607boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5608boards use these variables for other purposes.

5636 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 5637
2729af9d
WD
5638These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5639the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5640once they have been set once.

5654Callback functions for environment variables:
5655---------------------------------------------
5656
5657For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
b445bbb4 5658when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
170ab110
JH
5659be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5660deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5661effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5662
5663The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5664U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5665
5666These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5667static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5668in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5669associations. The list must be in the following format:
5670
5671 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5672 list = entry[,list]
5673
5674If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5675Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5676
5677Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5678with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5679override any association in the static list. You can define
5680CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
b445bbb4 5681".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.

5684Command Line Parsing:
5685=====================
f07771cc 5686
2729af9d
WD
5687There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5688the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 5689
2729af9d
WD
5690Old, simple command line parser:
5691--------------------------------
c609719b 5692
2729af9d
WD
5693- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5694- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 5695- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
5696- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5697 for example:
fe126d8b 5698 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
5699- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5700 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 5701
2729af9d
WD
5702Hush shell:
5703-----------
c609719b 5704
2729af9d
WD
5705- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5706 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5707 until...do...done, ...
5708- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5709 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5710 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5711 command
5712
5713General rules:
5714--------------
c609719b 5715
2729af9d
WD
5716(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5717 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5718 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5719 executed anyway.
c609719b 5720
2729af9d 5721(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 5722 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
5723 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5724 variables are not executed.

5726Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5727=======================================
c609719b 5728
11ccc33f 5729Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
5730such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5731"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 5732
2729af9d
WD
5733Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5734MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5735"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 5736
2729af9d
WD
5737If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5738in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5739ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5740variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 5741
2729af9d
WD
5742o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5743 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 5744
2729af9d
WD
5745o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5746 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5747 used.
c609719b 5748
2729af9d
WD
5749o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5750 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 5751
2729af9d
WD
5752o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5753 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5754 warning is printed.
c609719b 5755
2729af9d
WD
5756o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5757 is raised.
c609719b 5758
ecee9324 5759If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 5760will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
5761may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5762The naming convention is as follows:
5763"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

5765Image Formats:
5766==============
c609719b 5767
3310c549
MB
5768U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5769images in two formats:
5770
5771New uImage format (FIT)
5772-----------------------
5773
5774Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5775to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5776components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5777SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5778
5779
5780Old uImage format
5781-----------------
5782
5783Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5784preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5785details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

5802and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5803CRC32 checksums.

5806Linux Support:
5807==============
c609719b 5808
2729af9d
WD
5809Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5810easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5811U-Boot.
c609719b 5812
2729af9d
WD
5813U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5814special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5815"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5816instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5817serves several purposes:
c609719b 5818
2729af9d
WD
5819- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5820 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5821 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 5822
2729af9d
WD
5823- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5824 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 5825
2729af9d
WD
5826- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5827 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5828 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5829 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5830 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5831 software is easier now.

5834Linux HOWTO:
5835============
c609719b 5836
2729af9d
WD
5837Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5838---------------------------------------
c609719b 5839
2729af9d
WD
5840U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5841configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5842(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5843Linux :-).
c609719b 5844
a47a12be 5845But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 5846
2729af9d
WD
5847Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5848include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
5849Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5850and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 5851as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 5852
2eb31b13
SG
5853Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5854If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5855is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5856doc/driver-model.
5857
c609719b 5858
2729af9d
WD
5859Configuring the Linux kernel:
5860-----------------------------
c609719b 5861
2729af9d
WD
5862No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5863device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5864
5865
5866Building a Linux Image:
5867-----------------------
c609719b 5868
2729af9d
WD
5869With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5870not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5871"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5872U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5873which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5874100% compatible format.
5875
5876Example:
5877
ab584d67 5878 make TQM850L_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
5879 make oldconfig
5880 make dep
5881 make uImage
5882
5883The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5884encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5885CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5886
5887* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5888
5889* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5890
5891 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5892 -R .note -R .comment \
5893 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5894
5895* compress the binary image:
5896
5897 gzip -9 linux.bin
5898
5899* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5900
5901 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5902 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5903 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 5904
c609719b 5905
2729af9d
WD
5906The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5907with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5908combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5909byte header containing information about target architecture,
5910operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5911stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5912
5913"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5914print the header information, or to build new images.
5915
5916In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5917contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5918checksum verification:
c609719b 5919
2729af9d
WD
5920 tools/mkimage -l image
5921 -l ==> list image header information
5922
5923The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5924from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5925
5926 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5927 -n name -d data_file image
5928 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5929 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5930 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5931 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5932 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5933 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5934 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5935 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5936
69459791
WD
5937Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5938address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5939kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
5940
5941- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5942- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5943
5944So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5945
5946 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5947 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5948 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD
5949 > examples/uImage.TQM850L

5954 Load Address: 0x00000000
5955 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5956
5957To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5958
5959 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5960 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

5964 Load Address: 0x00000000
5965 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5966
5967NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5968speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5969needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5970need to be uncompressed:
5971
a47a12be 5972 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d
WD
5973 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5974 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5975 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \

5983
5984
5985Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5986when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5987
5988 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5989 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5990 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

5996 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5997

GMF
5998The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5999option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
6000option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
6001from the image:
6002

6003 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
6004 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'

6008
6009Installing a Linux Image:
6010-------------------------
6011
6012To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
6013you must convert the image to S-Record format:
6014
6015 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
6016
6017The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
6018image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
6019address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
6020specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
6021command.
6022
6023Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
6024TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
6025
6026 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
6027
6028 .......... done
6029 Erased 8 sectors
6030
6031 => loads 40100000
6032 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
6033 ~>examples/image.srec

6037 [file transfer complete]
6038 [connected]
6039 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
6040
6041
6042You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
218ca724 6043this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
2729af9d
WD
6044corruption happened:

6057Boot Linux:
6058-----------
6059
6060The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
6061memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
6062of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
6063parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
6064"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
6065
6066
6067 => printenv bootargs
6068 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
6069
6070 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

6143First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section

6189More About U-Boot Image Types:
6190------------------------------
6191
6192U-Boot supports the following image types:
6193
6194 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6195 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6196 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6197 the Standalone Program.
6198 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6199 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6200 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6201 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6202 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6203 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6204 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6205 being started.
6206 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6207 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6208 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6209 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6210 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6211 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
6212
6213 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6214 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6215 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6216 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6217 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6218 a multiple of 4 bytes).
6219
6220 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6221 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6222 flash memory.
6223
6224 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6225 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6226 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6227 as command interpreter.

6229Booting the Linux zImage:
6230-------------------------
6231
6232On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6233using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6234as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6235
8ac28563 6236Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
017e1f3f
MV
6237kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6238address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6239format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

6241
6242Standalone HOWTO:
6243=================
6244
6245One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6246run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6247U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
6248
6249Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6250
6251"Hello World" Demo:
6252-------------------
6253
6254'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6255application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6256It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6257like that:
6258
6259 => loads
6260 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
6261 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
6262 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
6263 [file transfer complete]
6264 [connected]
6265 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
6266
6267 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
6268 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
6269 Hello World
6270 argc = 7
6271 argv[0] = "40004"
6272 argv[1] = "Hello"
6273 argv[2] = "World!"
6274 argv[3] = "This"
6275 argv[4] = "is"
6276 argv[5] = "a"
6277 argv[6] = "test."
6278 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
6279 Hit any key to exit ...
6280
6281 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
6282
6283Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6284handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6285Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6286The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6287character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6288controlled by the following keys:
6289
6290 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6291 b - enable interrupts and start timer
6292 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6293 q - quit application
6294
6295 => loads

6330Minicom warning:
6331================
6332
6333Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6334"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6335consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6336Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6337especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
6338use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
6339http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6340for help with kermit.

6351NetBSD Notes:
6352=============
6353
6354Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6355(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6356
6357Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6358NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6359need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6360Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6361attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6362missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6363
6364 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6365 # mkdir powerpc
6366 # ln -s powerpc machine
6367 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6368 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6369
6370Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6371and U-Boot include files.
6372
6373Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6374stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6375proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6376tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 6377meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

6380Implementation Internals:
6381=========================
6382
6383The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6384implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6385inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6386hardware.
6387
6388
6389Initial Stack, Global Data:
6390---------------------------
6391
6392The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6393starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6394system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6395This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6396is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6397at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6398options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6399models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6400MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6401locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6402
218ca724 6403 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 6404 U-Boot mailing list:

6410
6411 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6412 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6413 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6414 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6415 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 6416 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
6417 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6418 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6419
6420 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6421 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 6422 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
6423 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6424 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6425 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6426 used.
6427
6d0f6bcf 6428 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
6429 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6430 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 6431 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
6432 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6433 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6434 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6435 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6436 you get the config right.

6440
6441It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6442code for the initialization procedures:
6443
6444* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6445 to write it.
6446
b445bbb4 6447* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
2729af9d
WD
6448 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6449 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6450
6451* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6452 that.
6453
6454Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
b445bbb4 6455normal global data to share information between the code. But it
2729af9d
WD
6456turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6457simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6458functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6459functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6460the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6461place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6462reserve for this purpose.
6463
6464When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6465relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6466GCC's implementation.
6467
6468For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6469 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 6470 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
6471 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6472 R5-R10: parameter passing
6473 R13: small data area pointer
6474 R30: GOT pointer
6475 R31: frame pointer
6476
e6bee808
JT
6477 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6478 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6479 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 6480
e7670f6c 6481 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
6482
6483 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6484 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6485 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6486 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6487 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6488 624 text + 127 data).

6517 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

6521 R0-R1: argument/return
6522 R2-R5: argument
6523 R15: temporary register for assembler
6524 R16: trampoline register

6536Memory Management:
6537------------------
6538
6539U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6540MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6541
6542The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6543controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6544memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6545physical memory banks.
6546
6547U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6548TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6549booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6550to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 6551memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
6552configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6553Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6554
6555Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6556of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6557
6558So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6559this:
6560
6561 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6562 :
6563 0x0000 1FFF
6564 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6565 :
6566 :
6567
6568 :
6569 :
6570 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6571 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6572 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6573 :
6574 0x00FD FFFF
6575 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6576 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6577 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6578 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6579
6580
6581System Initialization:
6582----------------------
c609719b 6583
2729af9d 6584In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 6585(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
b445bbb4 6586configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
2729af9d
WD
6587To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6588To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6589initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6590which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6591part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6592the caches and the SIU.
6593
6594Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6595preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6596(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6597on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6598programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6599simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6600banks.
6601
6602When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6603different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6604bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
66050x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6606contiguous memory starting from 0.
6607
6608Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6609and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6610Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6611pages, and the final stack is set up.
6612
6613Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6614until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6615running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6616new address in RAM.

6693Coding Standards:
6694-----------------
c609719b 6695
2729af9d 6696All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
2c051651 6697coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
7ca9296e 6698"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
2c051651
DZ
6699
6700Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6701MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
b445bbb4 6702reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
2c051651
DZ
6703sources.
6704
6705Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6706Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6707in your code.
c609719b 6708
2729af9d
WD
6709Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6710- remove any trailing white space
7ca9296e 6711- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
2729af9d 6712- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
7ca9296e 6713- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
2729af9d 6714- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
180d3f74 6715
2729af9d

6721-------------------
c609719b 6722
2729af9d
WD
6723Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6724establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6725may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
c609719b 6726
0d28f34b 6727Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
218ca724 6728
0668236b

6732When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6733it:
c609719b 6734
2729af9d
WD
6735* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6736 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6737 patch actually fixes something.
c609719b 6738
2729af9d
WD
6739* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6740 implementation.
c609719b 6741
2729af9d 6742* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
c609719b 6743
2729af9d 6744* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
c609719b 6745
27af930e
AA
6746* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6747 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
c609719b 6748
2729af9d
WD
6749* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6750 document these in the README file.
c609719b 6751
218ca724
WD
6752* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6753 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 6754 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
6755 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6756 with some other mail clients.
6757
6758 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6759 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6760 GNU diff.
c609719b 6761
218ca724
WD
6762 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6763 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6764 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6765 affected files).
6dff5529 6766
218ca724
WD
6767 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6768 and compressed attachments must not be used.
c609719b 6769
2729af9d
WD
6770* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6771 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
52f52c14 6772
2729af9d
WD
6773* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6774 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

2729af9d 6777Notes:
c609719b 6778
2729af9d
WD
6779* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6780 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6781 for any of the boards.
c609719b 6782
2729af9d
WD
6783* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6784 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6785 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
c609719b 6786
2729af9d
WD
6787* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6788 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6789 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6790 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6791 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6792 modification.
90dc6704 6793
0668236b
WD
6794* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6795 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6796 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6797 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
