24Summary:
25========
26
24ee89b9 27This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
e86e5a07
WD
28Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31code.
c609719b
WD
32
33The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
24ee89b9
WD
34the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
35header files in common, and special provision has been made to
c609719b
WD
36support booting of Linux images.
37
38Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
39configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
43load and run it dynamically.
44
45
46Status:
47=======
48
49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
24ee89b9 50Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
c609719b
WD
51"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
52

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

350
6d0f6bcf 351 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
75d1ea7f 352
ba56f625
WD
353 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
354 of relying on the correctness of the configured
355 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
356 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
357 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 358 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
75d1ea7f 359
506f3918
HS
360 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE

363 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
364
66412c63
KG
365- 85xx CPU Options:
366 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
367
368 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
369 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
370 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
371
8f29084a
KG
372 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
373
374 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
375 tree nodes for the given platform.
376
afa6b551
PK
377 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
378
379 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
380 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
381 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
382 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
383 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
384 purpose.
385
33eee330
SW
386 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
387
388 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
389 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
390 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
391
392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
393 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
394
395 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
396 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
397
398 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
399 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
400 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
401 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
402
403 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
404 this erratum.
405
406 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
407
408 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
409 according to the A004510 workaround.

482 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
483 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
484 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
485 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
486 Linux kernel.
c609719b 487 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 488 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
c609719b

530 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
531 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
532 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
533 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
534 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
535 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

540 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
541 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
542 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).

613 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
c609719b

673- Console Rx buffer length
674 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
675 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
2b3f12c2 676 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
c92fac91
HS
677 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
678 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
679 the SMC.
680
9558b48a 681- Pre-Console Buffer:
4cf2609b
WD
682 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
683 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
684 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
685 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
686 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
687 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
688 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 689 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
690 earlier bytes are discarded.
691
692 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
693 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
9558b48a 694

SR
695- Safe printf() functions
696 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
697 the printf() functions. These are defined in
698 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
699 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
700 If this option is not given then these functions will
701 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
702 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
703
c609719b
WD
704- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
705 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
706 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
707
708 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
709 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
710 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
711 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
712 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
713 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
714 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR

717 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
718 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
719 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
720
721- Autoboot Command:
722 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
723 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
724 define a command string that is automatically executed
725 when no character is read on the console interface
726 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
727
728 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
43d9616c
WD
729 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
730 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
731 environment value "bootargs".
c609719b
WD
732
733 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c
WD
734 The value of these goes into the environment as
735 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
736 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 737 RAM and NFS.
c609719b
WD
738
739- Pre-Boot Commands:
740 CONFIG_PREBOOT
741
742 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
743 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
744 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
745 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
746 entering interactive mode.
747
748 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
749 automatically generated or modified. For an example
750 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
751 modified when the user holds down a certain
752 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
753 booting the systems
754
755- Serial Download Echo Mode:
756 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
757 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
758 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
759 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
760 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
761 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
762 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
763
602ad3b3 764- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
c609719b
WD
765 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
766 Select one of the baudrates listed in
6d0f6bcf 767 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
c609719b

875 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
876 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or

SG
885- Device tree:
886 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
887 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
888 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
889 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
890 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
891 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
892
2c0f79e4
SG
893 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
894 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
895
896 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
897 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
898 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
899 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
900 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
901 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 902
2c0f79e4
SG
903 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
904 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
905 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
906 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
907
908 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
909
910 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
911 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
912 still use the individual files if you need something more
913 exotic.
914

915- Watchdog:
916 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
917 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
918 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
919 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
920 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
921 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
922 available, then no further board specific code should
923 be needed to use it.
924
925 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
926 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
927 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
928 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.

1366 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1367 support, and should also define these other macros:

7152b1d0 1443- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1444
8bde7f77
WD
1445 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1446 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1447 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1448 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1449 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1450 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1451 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1452 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1453
1ca298ce
MW
1454 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1455
1456 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1457 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1458 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1459 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1460 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1461 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1462
1463 Example:
1464 setenv splashpos m,m
1465 => image at center of screen
1466
1467 setenv splashpos 30,20
1468 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1469
1470 setenv splashpos -10,m
1471 => vertically centered image
1472 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

SR
1474- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1475
1476 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1477 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1478 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1479
d5011762
AG
1480- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1481
1482 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1483 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1484 bmp command.
1485
f2b96dfb
LW
1486- Do compresssing for memory range:
1487 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1488
1489 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1490 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1491
c29fdfc1
WD
1492- Compression support:
1493 CONFIG_BZIP2
1494
1495 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1496 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1497 compressed images are supported.
1498
42d1f039 1499 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1500 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1501 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1502
fc9c1727
LCM
1503 CONFIG_LZMA
1504
1505 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1506 images is included.
1507
1508 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1509 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1510 formula:
1511
1512 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1513
1514 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1515 and Literal pos bits.
1516
1517 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1518 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1519 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1520 a very small buffer.
1521
1522 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1523 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1524 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

1526- MII/PHY support:
1527 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1528
1529 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1530
1531 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1532
1533 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1534
1535 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1536
1537 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1538 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1539
1540 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1541
1542 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1543 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1544 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1545 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1546
1547 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1548
1549 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1550 command issued before MII status register can be read

1589 sent to.
1590 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1591
1592- Subnet mask:
1593 CONFIG_NETMASK
1594
1595 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1596 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1597 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1598 forwarded through a router.

1601- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1602 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1603
1604 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1605 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 1606 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
53a5c424
DU
1607 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1608 multicast group.
1609
c609719b
WD
1610- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1611 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1612
1613 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1614 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1615 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1616 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1617 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1618 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1619 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1620 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1621 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1622
1623 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1624 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1625 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1626 4th and following
1627 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1628
fe389a82 1629- DHCP Advanced Options:
1fe80d79
JL
1630 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1631 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1632
1633 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK

fe389a82 1646
5d110f0a
WC
1647 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1648 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 1649
2c00e099
JH
1650 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1651 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1652 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1653 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1654 is not available.
1655
fe389a82
SR
1656 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1657 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1658 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1659 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1660 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1661 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1662 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 1663 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
1664
1665 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1666 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1667 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 1668 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
1669 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1670 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 1671
d9a2f416
AV
1672 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1673
1674 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1675 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1676 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1677 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1678 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1679 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1680 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1681 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1682 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1683 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1684 this delay.

JH
1686 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1687 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1688 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1689 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1690 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1691
1692 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1693
a3d991bd 1694 - CDP Options:
6e592385 1695 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
a3d991bd
WD
1696
1697 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1698
1699 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1700
1701 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1702 of the device.
1703
1704 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1705
1706 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1707 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
11ccc33f 1708 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
a3d991bd
WD
1709
1710 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1711
1712 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1713 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1714
1715 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1716
1717 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1718
1719 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1720
1721 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1722
1723 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1724
1725 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1726
1727 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1728
1729 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1730 device in .1 of milliwatts.
1731
1732 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1733
1734 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.

c609719b
WD
1736- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1737
1738 Several configurations allow to display the current
1739 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1740 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1741 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1742 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1743 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1744 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1745 feature in U-Boot.
1746
1747- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1748
1749 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1750 on those systems that support this (optional)
1751 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1752
1753- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1754
b37c7e5e 1755 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
945af8d7 1756 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
11ccc33f 1757 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
c609719b 1758
945af8d7 1759 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 1760 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
1761 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1762 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 1763 command line interface.
c609719b 1764
bb99ad6d 1765 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 1766
945af8d7 1767 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
b37c7e5e
WD
1768 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1769 support for I2C.
c609719b 1770
945af8d7 1771 There are several other quantities that must also be
b37c7e5e 1772 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
c609719b 1773
6d0f6bcf 1774 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 1775 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 1776 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 1777 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 1778
8d321b81 1779 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 1780 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
1781 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1782 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1783 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 1784
5da71efa
EM
1785 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1786
1787 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1788 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1789 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
1790 commands until the slave device responds.
1791
945af8d7 1792 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 1793
b37c7e5e
WD
1794 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1795 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1796 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
1797
1798 I2C_INIT
1799
b37c7e5e 1800 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 1801 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 1802
ba56f625 1803 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 1804
c609719b
WD
1805 I2C_PORT
1806
43d9616c
WD
1807 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1808 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1809 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
1810
1811 I2C_ACTIVE
1812
1813 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1814 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1815 define can be null.
1816
b37c7e5e
WD
1817 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1818

1819 I2C_TRISTATE
1820
1821 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1822 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1823 define can be null.
1824
b37c7e5e
WD
1825 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1826
c609719b
WD
1827 I2C_READ
1828
1829 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1830 FALSE if it is low.
1831
b37c7e5e
WD
1832 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1833
c609719b
WD
1834 I2C_SDA(bit)
1835
1836 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1837 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1838
b37c7e5e 1839 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 1840 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 1841 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 1842
c609719b
WD
1843 I2C_SCL(bit)
1844
1845 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1846 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1847
b37c7e5e 1848 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 1849 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \

1852 I2C_DELAY
1853
1854 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1855 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 1856 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7

1861 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1862
1863 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1864 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1865 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1866 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1867
1868 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1869 the generic GPIO functions.

6d0f6bcf 1871 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 1872
8bde7f77
WD
1873 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1874 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1875 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1876 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1877 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1878 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1879 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1880 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 1881

RR
1882 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
1883
1884 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
1885 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
1886 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
1887 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
1888 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
1889 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
1890 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
1891 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

1899 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1900
1901 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
1902 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1903 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.

6d0f6bcf 1906 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
1907
1908 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 1909 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b

bb99ad6d
BW

6d0f6bcf 1924 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
1925
1926 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1927 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1928
6d0f6bcf 1929 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
1930
1931 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.

1933
6d0f6bcf 1934 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
1935
1936 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
1937 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
1938
6d0f6bcf 1939 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
1940
1941 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.

1945 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
1946
1947 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in

be5e6181 1949
67b23a32

1950 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
1951
1952 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
1953 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
1954 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
1955 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
1956 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
1957 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
1958
1959 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
1960 feature!
1961
1962 Example:
1963 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
1964 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
1965 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
1966
1967 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
1968
1969 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
1970 of I2C Busses with muxes:
1971
1972 => i2c bus
1973 Busses reached over muxes:
1974 Bus ID: 2
1975 reached over Mux(es):
1976 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
1977 Bus ID: 3
1978 reached over Mux(es):
1979 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
1980 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
1981 =>
1982
1983 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
f9a78b8d
MJ
1984 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
1985 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
67b23a32
HS
1986 the channel 4.
1987
1988 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
f9a78b8d 1989 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
67b23a32
HS
1990 the 2 muxes.
1991
1992 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
1993 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
1994 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
1995 to add this option to other architectures.
1996
2ac6985a
AD
1997 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
1998
1999 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2000 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2001 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2002 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2003 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2004 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2005 the other.

2027 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2028 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is

2107- Configuration Management:
2108 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2109
43d9616c
WD
2110 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2111 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2112
2113- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2114
43d9616c
WD
2115 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2116 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2117 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2118 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2119 protects these variables from casual modification by
2120 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2121 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2122 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2123
2124 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2125 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2126 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2127 these parameters.
2128
2129 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2130 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2131 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2132 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2133 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2134 read-only.]
2135
2136- Protected RAM:
2137 CONFIG_PRAM
2138
2139 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2140 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2141 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2142 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2143 this default value by defining an environment
2144 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2145 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2146 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2147 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2148 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2149 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2150 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2151
fe126d8b 2152 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2153 saveenv
2154
2155 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2156 either, which results in a memory region that will
2157 not be affected by reboots.
2158
2159 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2160 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2161 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2162 following board configurations are known to be
2163 "pRAM-clean":
2164
2165 ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2166 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
544d97e9 2167 FLAGADM, TQM8260
c609719b
WD
2168
2169- Error Recovery:
2170 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2171
2172 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2173 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2174 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2175 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2176 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2177 useful during development since you can try to debug
2178 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2179
2180 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2181
43d9616c
WD
2182 This variable defines the number of retries for
2183 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2184 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2185 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2186

2187 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2188
2189 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.

2195 try longer timeout such as
2196 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2197
c609719b 2198- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2199 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
04a85b3b
WD
2200
2201 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.

WD
2205
2206
6d0f6bcf 2207 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2208
2209 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2210 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2211 powerful command line syntax like
2212 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2213 constructs ("shell scripts").
2214
2215 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2216 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2217
2218
6d0f6bcf 2219 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2220
2221 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2222 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2223 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2224
2225 Note:
2226
8bde7f77
WD
2227 In the current implementation, the local variables
2228 space and global environment variables space are
2229 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2230 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2231 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2232 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2233 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2234
43d9616c
WD
2235 Global environment variables are those you use
2236 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2237 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2238 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2239
2240 To store commands and special characters in a
2241 variable, please use double quotation marks
2242 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2243 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2244 symbols.

2266 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2267 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2268 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2269 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2270 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.

2273 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2274 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2275 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2276 boot command first.
c609719b 2277
5e724ca2
SW
2278 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2279
2280 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2281 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2282 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2283
2284 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2285
2286 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2287 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2288 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2289 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2290 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC

a8c7c708 2292- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2293 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2294
8bde7f77
WD
2295 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2296 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2297 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2298
f61ec45e
EN
2299- Serial Flash support
2300 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2301
2302 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2303 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2304
2305 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2306 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2307 commands.
2308
2309 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2310 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2311 flash is present on the system.
2312
2313 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2314 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2315 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2316 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2317
3f85ce27
WD
2318- SystemACE Support:
2319 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2320
2321 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2322 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2323 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2324 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2325
2326 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2327 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2328
2329 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2330 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2331
ecb0ccd9
WD
2332- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2333 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2334
28cb9375 2335 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2336 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2337 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2338 number generator is used.
2339
28cb9375
WD
2340 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2341 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2342 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2343
2344 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2345 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2346 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2347 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2348 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2349 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2350 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2351
a8c7c708 2352- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
2353 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2354
43d9616c
WD
2355 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2356 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2357 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2358 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2359 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2360 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 2361
3a608ca0
SG
2362- Detailed boot stage timing
2363 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2364 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2365 of the boot process.
2366
2367 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2368 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2369 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2370 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2371 the limit, recording will stop.
2372
2373 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2374 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2375
2376 Timer summary in microseconds:
2377 Mark Elapsed Stage
2378 0 0 reset
2379 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2380 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2381 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2382 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2383 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2384 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2385 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2386
94fd1316
SG
2387 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2388 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2389 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2390 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2391 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2392 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2393 For example:
2394
2395 bootstage {
2396 154 {
2397 name = "board_init_f";
2398 mark = <3575678>;
2399 };
2400 170 {
2401 name = "lcd";
2402 accum = <33482>;
2403 };
2404 };
2405
2406 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2705Modem Support:
2706--------------
2707
566e5cf4 2708[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
c609719b 2709
11ccc33f 2710- Modem support enable:
c609719b
WD
2711 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
2712
2713- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
2714 CONFIG_HWFLOW
2715
2716- Modem debug support:
2717 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
2718
43d9616c
WD
2719 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
2720 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
c609719b 2721
a8c7c708
WD
2722- Interrupt support (PPC):
2723
d4ca31c4
WD
2724 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2725 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 2726 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 2727 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 2728 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 2729 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 2730 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
2731 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2732 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2733 general timer_interrupt().
a8c7c708 2734
c609719b
WD
2735- General:
2736
43d9616c
WD
2737 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2738 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2739 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
11ccc33f 2740 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
2741 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2742 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2743 initialization.
c609719b 2744
43d9616c
WD
2745 If there are no modem init strings in the
2746 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2747 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
11ccc33f 2748 suppressed, though.

2752Board initialization settings:
2753------------------------------
2754
2755During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
2756to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
2757before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
2758following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
2759architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
2760typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
2761
2762- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
2763- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
2764- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
2765- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

2767Configuration Settings:
2768-----------------------
2769
6d0f6bcf 2770- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
c609719b
WD
2771 undefine this when you're short of memory.
2772
2fb2604d
PT
2773- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
2774 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
2775
6d0f6bcf 2776- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
c609719b
WD
2777 prompt for user input.
2778
6d0f6bcf 2779- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
c609719b 2780
6d0f6bcf 2781- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
c609719b 2782
6d0f6bcf 2783- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
c609719b 2784
6d0f6bcf 2785- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
c609719b
WD
2786 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
2787 booted
2788
6d0f6bcf 2789- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b
WD
2790 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
2791
6d0f6bcf 2792- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 2793 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 2794
6d0f6bcf 2795- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
2796 If the board specific function
2797 extern int overwrite_console (void);
2798 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
2799 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
2800
6d0f6bcf 2801- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
8bde7f77 2802 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 2803
6d0f6bcf 2804- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
c609719b
WD
2805 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
2806
6d0f6bcf 2807- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
2808 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
2809 simple memory test.
2810
6d0f6bcf 2811- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
8bde7f77 2812 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
c609719b 2813
6d0f6bcf 2814- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
5f535fe1
WD
2815 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
2816 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
2817
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
2818- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
2819 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 2820 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 2821 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
2822 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2823 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2824 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 2825 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 2826 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 2827 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
2828
2829 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2830 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2831 be touched.
2832
2833 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2834 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2835 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2836 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
2837 problems.
2838
6d0f6bcf 2839- CONFIG_SYS_TFTP_LOADADDR:
c609719b
WD
2840 Default load address for network file downloads

6d0f6bcf 2845- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
c609719b
WD
2846 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
2847
6d0f6bcf 2848- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
c609719b
WD
2849 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
2850 Cogent motherboard)
2851
6d0f6bcf 2852- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
2853 Physical start address of Flash memory.
2854
6d0f6bcf 2855- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
2856 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
2857 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 2858 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 2859 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 2860
6d0f6bcf 2861- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
2862 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
2863 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
2864 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
2865 flash sector.
c609719b 2866
6d0f6bcf 2867- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
2868 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
2869
6d0f6bcf 2870- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
2871 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2872 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 2873 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
2874 to adjust this setting to your needs.
2875
6d0f6bcf 2876- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
2877 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
2878 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
2879 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
2880 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
2881 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
2882 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 2883 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
2884 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
2885 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
2886 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 2887
fca43cc8
JR
2888- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
2889 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
2890 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
2891 is enabled.
2892
2893- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
2894 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
2895 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2896
2897- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
2898 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
2899 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2900
6d0f6bcf 2901- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
2902 Max number of Flash memory banks
2903
6d0f6bcf 2904- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
c609719b
WD
2905 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
2906
6d0f6bcf 2907- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
2908 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
2909
6d0f6bcf 2910- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
c609719b

2914 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
2915
6d0f6bcf 2916- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
2917 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
2918
6d0f6bcf 2919- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
2920 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
2921 instead of U-Boot software protection.
2922
6d0f6bcf 2923- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
2924
2925 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2926 without this option such a download has to be
2927 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2928 copy from RAM to flash.
2929
2930 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2931 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
2932 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2933 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
2934 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2935
6d0f6bcf 2936- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 2937 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
2938 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
2939
00b1883a 2940- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33
WD
2941 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
2942 in the drivers directory
c609719b 2943
91809ed5
PZ
2944- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
2945 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
2946 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
2947 to the MTD layer.
2948
6d0f6bcf 2949- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
2950 Use buffered writes to flash.
2951
2952- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
2953 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
2954 write commands.
2955
6d0f6bcf 2956- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
2957 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
2958 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
2959 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
2960 optionally available.
2961
9a042e9c
JVB
2962- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
2963 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
2964 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
2965 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
2966
6d0f6bcf 2967- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
2968 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
2969 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
2970 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
2971 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 2972 on high Ethernet traffic.
53cf9435

2975- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
2976
071bc923
WD
2977 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
2978 internally to store the environment settings. The default
2979 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
2980 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
2981 lib/hashtable.c for details.

c609719b
WD
2983The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
2984of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
2985following configurations:
2986
c3eb3fe4
MF
2987- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
2988
2989 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
2990 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
2991
5a1aceb0 2992- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
2993
2994 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
2995
2996 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
2997 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
2998 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
2999 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3000 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3001 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3002 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3003 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3004 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3005 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3006 between U-Boot and the environment.
3007
0e8d1586 3008 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3009
3010 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3011 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3012 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3013 for this sector is given here.
3014
6d0f6bcf 3015 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3016
0e8d1586 3017 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3018
3019 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3020 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3021 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3022
0e8d1586 3023 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3024
3025 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3026
3027
3028 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3029 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3030 the environment.
3031
0e8d1586 3032 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3033
5a1aceb0 3034 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3035 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3036 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3037 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3038
3039 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3040 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3041 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3042 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3043 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3044 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3045 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3046 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3047 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3048
0e8d1586
JCPV
3049 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3050 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
c609719b 3051
43d9616c 3052 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 3053 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 3054 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 3055 a "saveenv" operation.
c609719b
WD
3056
3057BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3058source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3059accordingly!
3060
3061
9314cee6 3062- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD
3063
3064 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3065 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3066 environment.
3067
0e8d1586
JCPV
3068 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3069 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3070
11ccc33f 3071 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
3072 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3073 can just be read and written to, without any special
3074 provision.
3075
3076BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3077in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3078console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3079U-Boot will hang.
3080
3081Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3082environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3083keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3084to save the current settings.
3085
3086
bb1f8b4f 3087- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
c609719b

3088
3089 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3090 device and a driver for it.
3091
0e8d1586
JCPV
3092 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3093 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3094
3095 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3096 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3097
6d0f6bcf 3098 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b

3099 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3100 The default address is zero.
3101
6d0f6bcf 3102 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
3103 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3104 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3105 would require six bits.
3106
6d0f6bcf 3107 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 3108 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
ba56f625 3109 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
c609719b 3110
6d0f6bcf 3111 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3112 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3113 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3114
6d0f6bcf 3115 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
3116 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3117 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3118 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3119 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3120 byte chips.
3121
3122 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3123 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3124 in the chip address.
3125
6d0f6bcf 3126 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3127 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.

3131 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3132
3133 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3134 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3135 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3136 EEPROM. For example:
3137
a9046b9e 3138 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0"
548738b4
HS

3159 want to use for the local device's environment.
3160
3161 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3162 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3163
3164 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3165 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3166 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 3167 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7
LG
3168
3169BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3170"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa
LG
3171environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3172but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

JCPV
3179 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:

3181
3182 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
fdd813de
SW
3183 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3184 aligned to an erase block boundary.
5779d8d9 3185
fdd813de 3186 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
e443c944 3187
0e8d1586 3188 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
3189 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3190 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 3191 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
3192 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3193
3194 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3195
3196 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3197 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3198 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3199 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3200 the range to be avoided.
3201
3202 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3203
3204 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3205 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3206 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3207 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3208 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
e443c944 3209

GL
3210- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3211
3212 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3213 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3214 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3215
6d0f6bcf 3216- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
3217
3218 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3219 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3220 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3221 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3222 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3223 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3224 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3225
e881cb56 3226Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 3227has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 3228created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
3229until then to read environment variables.
3230
85ec0bcc
WD
3231The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3232is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3233with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3234necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3235"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3236have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
3237
3238Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3239the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 3240use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 3241

6d0f6bcf 3245 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
fc3e2165
WD
3246 also needs to be defined.
3247
6d0f6bcf 3248- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

3253 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3254 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3255 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3256 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

c609719b 3265 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
2535d602 3266
42d1f039
WD
3267 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,

3272 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3273 PowerPC SOCs.
3274
3275- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3276 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3277 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3278
3279 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3280 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3281
3282- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3283 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3284 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 3285 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
3286 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3287 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3288 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3289
3290 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3291 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3292
3293- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
3294 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3295 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
3296 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3297 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3298
3299- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3300 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3301 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3302 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3303
3304- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3305 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3306 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

553f0982 3367 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -

3512
3513- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
3514 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
6e592385
WD
3515 to the given FEC; i. e.
3516 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
c26e454d

7b466641 3557
8aa1a2d1 3558- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
afc1ce82 3559 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
844f07d8
WD
3560 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
3561 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
3562 relocate itself into RAM.
3563
3564 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
3565 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
3566 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
3567 these initializations itself.
8aa1a2d1 3568
401bb30b 3569- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
df81238b
ML
3570 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader

3580Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
3581-----------------------------------
3582
3583The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3584loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3585This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3586are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3587within that device.
3588
3589- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3590 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
3591 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3592 is also specified.
3593
3594- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3595 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
3596 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3597 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3598 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3599
3600- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3601 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3602 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3603 virtual address in NOR flash.
3604
3605- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3606 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3607 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3608
3609- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3610 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
3611 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3612
3613- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
3614 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
3615 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3616
292dc6c5
LG
3617- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
3618 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
3619 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
3620 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
3621 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
3622 master's memory space.

3624Building the Software:
3625======================
3626
218ca724
WD
3627Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3628and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3629all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3630(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3631recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3632which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 3633
218ca724
WD
3634If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3635have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3636you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3637Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3638necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 3639
218ca724
WD
3640 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3641 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 3642
2f8d396b
PT
3643Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3644 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3645 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3646 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
3647
3648 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3649
3650 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3651 be executed on computers running Windows.
3652
218ca724
WD
3653U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3654sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
3655is done by typing:
3656
3657 make NAME_config
3658
218ca724 3659where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 3660rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 3661
2729af9d
WD
3662Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3663 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3664 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3665 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 3666 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
3667
3668 make TQM823L_config
3669 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
3670
3671 make TQM823L_LCD_config
3672 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
3673
3674 etc.
3675
3676
3677Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3678images ready for download to / installation on your system:
3679
3680- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3681- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3682- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
3683
baf31249
MB
3684By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3685in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3686this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3687
36881. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3689
3690 make O=/tmp/build distclean
3691 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
3692 make O=/tmp/build all
3693
36942. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
3695
3696 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3697 make distclean
3698 make NAME_config
3699 make all
3700
3701Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
3702variable.
3703
2729af9d
WD
3704
3705Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3706for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3707native "make".
3708
3709
3710If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3711to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3712steps:
3713
37141. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
3715 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
3716 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
37172. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3718 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3719 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
37203. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3721 your board
37223. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3723 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
37244. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
37255. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3726 to be installed on your target system.
37276. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3728 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
3729
3730
3731Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
3732==============================================================
3733
218ca724
WD
3734If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3735or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
3736provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3737the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 3738official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 3739
218ca724
WD
3740But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3741cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
3742the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3743just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
3744for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
3745select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
3746environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
3747you can type
2729af9d
WD
3748
3749 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3750
3751or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
3752
3753 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
3754
218ca724
WD
3755When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
3756U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
3757setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
3758built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
3759<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
3760location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
3761variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
3762
3763 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3764 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
3765 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3766
218ca724
WD
3767With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
3768log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
3769during the whole build process.

3831Environment Variables:
3832======================
3833
3834U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
3835can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 3836
2729af9d
WD
3837Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
3838"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
3839without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
3840environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
3841working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
3842environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 3843
c96f86ee
WD
3844Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
3845
3846List of environment variables (most likely not complete):

2729af9d 3854 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 3855
2729af9d 3856 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 3857
7d721e34
BS
3858 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3859 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3860 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
3861 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
3862 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
3863 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
3864 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
3865 bootm_mapsize.
3866
c0f40859 3867 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
3868 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
3869 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
3870 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
3871 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
3872 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
3873 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
3874
3875 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3876 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3877 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
3878 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
3879 environment variable.

3881 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
3882 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
3883 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
3884
2729af9d
WD
3885 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
3886 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
3887 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
3888 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 3889
2729af9d
WD
3890 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3891 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3892 be automatically started (by internally calling
3893 "bootm")
38b99261 3894
2729af9d
WD
3895 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3896 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3897 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3898 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3899 data.
c609719b 3900
a28afca5
DL
3901 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
3902 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
3903 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
3904 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
3905 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
3906 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
3907 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
3908 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
3909 access it during the boot procedure.
3910
a28afca5
DL
3911 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
3912 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
3913 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
3914 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
3915 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
3916 must be accessible by the kernel.
3917
eea63e05
SG
3918 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
3919 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
3920 defined.
3921
17ea1177
WD
3922 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3923 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3924 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3925 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3926 it must be saved and board must be reset.

3928 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
3929 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3930 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3931 is usually what you want since it allows for
3932 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3933 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 3934 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
3935 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3936 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3937 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3938 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 3939
2729af9d
WD
3940 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3941 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3942 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3943 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3944 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3945 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 3946
2729af9d 3947 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 3948
2729af9d
WD
3949 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3950 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3951 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3952 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3953 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3954 boot time on your system, but requires that this
3955 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

4006 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4007 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4008 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4009 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4010 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4011 with unreliable TFTP servers.

4017The following image location variables contain the location of images
4018used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4019not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4020variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4021server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4022loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4023flash or offset in NAND flash.
4024
4025*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4026boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4027boards use these variables for other purposes.

4053 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4054 as type string and/or serial number
4055 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4056
2729af9d
WD
4057These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of

4073Command Line Parsing:
4074=====================
f07771cc 4075
2729af9d
WD
4076There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4077the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 4078
2729af9d
WD
4079Old, simple command line parser:
4080--------------------------------
c609719b 4081
2729af9d
WD
4082- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4083- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 4084- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
4085- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4086 for example:
fe126d8b 4087 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
4088- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4089 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 4090
2729af9d
WD
4091Hush shell:
4092-----------
c609719b 4093
2729af9d
WD
4094- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4095 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4096 until...do...done, ...
4097- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4098 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4099 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4100 command
4101
4102General rules:
4103--------------
c609719b 4104
2729af9d
WD
4105(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4106 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4107 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4108 executed anyway.
c609719b 4109
2729af9d 4110(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 4111 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
4112 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4113 variables are not executed.
c609719b 4114
2729af9d
WD
4115Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4116=======================================
c609719b 4117
11ccc33f 4118Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
4119such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4120"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 4121
2729af9d
WD
4122Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4123MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4124"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 4125
2729af9d
WD
4126If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4127in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4128ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4129variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 4130
2729af9d
WD
4131o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4132 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 4133
2729af9d
WD
4134o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4135 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4136 used.
c609719b 4137
2729af9d
WD
4138o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4139 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 4140
2729af9d
WD
4141o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4142 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4143 warning is printed.
c609719b 4144
2729af9d
WD
4145o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4146 is raised.
c609719b 4147
ecee9324 4148If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 4149will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
4150may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4151The naming convention is as follows:
4152"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

4154Image Formats:

c609719b 4156
3310c549
MB
4157U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4158images in two formats:
4159
4160New uImage format (FIT)
4161-----------------------
4162
4163Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4164to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4165components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4166SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4167
4168
4169Old uImage format
4170-----------------
4171
4172Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4173preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4174details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

4195Linux Support:
4196==============
c609719b 4197
2729af9d
WD
4198Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4199easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4200U-Boot.
c609719b 4201
2729af9d
WD
4202U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4203special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4204"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4205instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4206serves several purposes:
c609719b 4207
2729af9d
WD
4208- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4209 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4210 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 4211
2729af9d
WD
4212- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4213 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 4214
2729af9d
WD
4215- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4216 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4217 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4218 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4219 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4220 software is easier now.

4223Linux HOWTO:
4224============
c609719b 4225
2729af9d
WD
4226Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4227---------------------------------------
c609719b 4228
2729af9d
WD
4229U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4230configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4231(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4232Linux :-).
c609719b 4233
a47a12be 4234But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 4235
2729af9d
WD
4236Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4237include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
4238Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4239and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 4240as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 4241
c609719b 4242
2729af9d
WD
4243Configuring the Linux kernel:
4244-----------------------------
c609719b 4245
2729af9d
WD
4246No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4247device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4248
4249
4250Building a Linux Image:
4251-----------------------
c609719b 4252
2729af9d
WD
4253With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4254not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4255"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4256U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4257which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4258100% compatible format.
4259
4260Example:
4261
4262 make TQM850L_config
4263 make oldconfig
4264 make dep
4265 make uImage
4266
4267The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4268encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4269CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4270
4271* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4272
4273* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4274
4275 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4276 -R .note -R .comment \
4277 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4278
4279* compress the binary image:
4280
4281 gzip -9 linux.bin
4282
4283* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4284
4285 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4286 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4287 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 4288
c609719b 4289
2729af9d
WD
4290The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4291with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4292combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4293byte header containing information about target architecture,
4294operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4295stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4296
4297"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4298print the header information, or to build new images.
4299
4300In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4301contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4302checksum verification:
c609719b 4303
2729af9d
WD
4304 tools/mkimage -l image
4305 -l ==> list image header information
4306
4307The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4308from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4309
4310 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4311 -n name -d data_file image
4312 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4313 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4314 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4315 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4316 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4317 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4318 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4319 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4320
69459791
WD
4321Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4322address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4323kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
4324
4325- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4326- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4327
4328So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4329
4330 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4331 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 4332 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD
4333 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
4334 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4335 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000

4351NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4352speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4353needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4354need to be uncompressed:

4383Installing a Linux Image:
4384-------------------------
4385
4386To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4387you must convert the image to S-Record format:
4388
4389 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
4390
4391The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4392image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4393address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4394specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4395command.
4396
4397Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4398TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
4399
4400 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF

4431Boot Linux:
4432-----------
4433
4434The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
4435memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
4436of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
4437parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
4438"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
4439
4440
4441 => printenv bootargs
4442 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
4443
4444 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

4563More About U-Boot Image Types:
4564------------------------------
4565
4566U-Boot supports the following image types:
4567
4568 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4569 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4570 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4571 the Standalone Program.
4572 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4573 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4574 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4575 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4576 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4577 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4578 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4579 being started.
4580 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4581 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4582 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4583 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4584 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4585 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
4586
4587 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4588 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4589 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4590 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4591 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4592 a multiple of 4 bytes).
4593
4594 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4595 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4596 flash memory.
4597
4598 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4599 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4600 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4601 as command interpreter.

4603Booting the Linux zImage:
4604-------------------------
4605
4606On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
4607using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
4608as the syntax of "bootm" command.
4609
017e1f3f
MV
4610Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
4611kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
4612address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
4613format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

4615
4616Standalone HOWTO:
4617=================
4618
4619One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4620run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4621U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
4622
4623Two simple examples are included with the sources:
4624
4625"Hello World" Demo:
4626-------------------
4627
4628'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
4629application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
4630It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
4631like that:
4632
4633 => loads
4634 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
4635 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
4636 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
4637 [file transfer complete]
4638 [connected]
4639 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
4640
4641 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
4642 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
4643 Hello World
4644 argc = 7
4645 argv[0] = "40004"
4646 argv[1] = "Hello"
4647 argv[2] = "World!"
4648 argv[3] = "This"
4649 argv[4] = "is"
4650 argv[5] = "a"
4651 argv[6] = "test."
4652 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
4653 Hit any key to exit ...
4654
4655 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
4656
4657Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
4658handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4659Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4660The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4661character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4662controlled by the following keys:
4663
4664 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
4665 b - enable interrupts and start timer
4666 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
4667 q - quit application
4668
4669 => loads

4704Minicom warning:
4705================
4706
4707Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
4708"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
4709consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
4710Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
4711especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
4712use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).
4713
4714Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
4715configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
4716
4717 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
4718 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N

4722NetBSD Notes:
4723=============
4724
4725Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
4726(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
4727
4728Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
4729NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
4730need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
4731Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
4732attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
4733missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
4734
4735 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
4736 # mkdir powerpc
4737 # ln -s powerpc machine
4738 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4739 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
4740
4741Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4742and U-Boot include files.
4743
4744Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4745stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4746proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4747tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 4748meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

4751Implementation Internals:
4752=========================
4753
4754The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4755implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4756inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4757hardware.
4758
4759
4760Initial Stack, Global Data:
4761---------------------------
4762
4763The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4764starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4765system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4766This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4767is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4768at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4769options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4770models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4771MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4772locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
4773

0668236b 4775 U-Boot mailing list:

4781
4782 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4783 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4784 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
4785 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
4786 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 4787 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
4788 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
4789 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
4790
4791 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
4792 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 4793 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
4794 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
4795 board designers haven't used it for something that would
4796 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
4797 used.
4798
6d0f6bcf 4799 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
4800 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
4801 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 4802 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
4803 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
4804 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
4805 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
4806 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
4807 you get the config right.

4812It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
4813code for the initialization procedures:
4814
4815* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
4816 to write it.
4817
11ccc33f 4818* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
4819 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
4820 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
4821
4822* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
4823 that.
4824
4825Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
4826normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
4827turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
4828simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
4829functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
4830functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
4831the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
4832place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
4833reserve for this purpose.
4834
4835When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
4836relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
4837GCC's implementation.
4838
4839For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
4840 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 4841 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
4842 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
4843 R5-R10: parameter passing
4844 R13: small data area pointer
4845 R30: GOT pointer
4846 R31: frame pointer
4847
e6bee808
JT
4848 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
4849 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
4850 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 4851
e7670f6c 4852 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
4853
4854 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
4855 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
4856 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
4857 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
4858 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
4859 624 text + 127 data).

4870 R9: GOT pointer
4871 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
4872 R11: argument (frame) pointer
4873 R12: temporary workspace
4874 R13: stack pointer
4875 R14: link register
4876 R15: program counter

4881 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
4882
4883 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
4884
4885 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
4886 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
4887
afc1ce82
ML
4888On NDS32, the following registers are used:
4889
4890 R0-R1: argument/return
4891 R2-R5: argument
4892 R15: temporary register for assembler
4893 R16: trampoline register
4894 R28: frame pointer (FP)
4895 R29: global pointer (GP)

4904
4905Memory Management:
4906------------------
4907
4908U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
4909MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
4910
4911The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
4912controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
4913memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
4914physical memory banks.
4915
4916U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
4917TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
4918booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
4919to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 4920memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
4921configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
4922Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
4923
4924Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
4925of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
4926
4927So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
4928this:
4929
4930 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
4931 :
4932 0x0000 1FFF
4933 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
4934 :
4935 :
4936
4937 :
4938 :
4939 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
4940 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
4941 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
4942 :
4943 0x00FD FFFF
4944 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
4945 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
4946 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
4947 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
4948
4949
4950System Initialization:
4951----------------------
c609719b 4952
2729af9d 4953In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 4954(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
4955configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
4956To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
4957To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
4958initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
4959which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
4960part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
4961the caches and the SIU.
4962
4963Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
4964preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
4965(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
4966on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
4967programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
4968simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
4969banks.
4970
4971When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
4972different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
4973bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
49740x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
4975contiguous memory starting from 0.
4976
4977Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
4978and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
4979Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
4980pages, and the final stack is set up.
4981
4982Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
4983until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
4984running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
4985new address in RAM.

5062Coding Standards:
5063-----------------
c609719b 5064
2729af9d 5065All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
2c051651 5066coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
7ca9296e 5067"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.

5068
5069Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5070MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5071reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5072sources.
5073
5074Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5075Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5076in your code.
c609719b 5077
2729af9d
WD
5078Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5079- remove any trailing white space
7ca9296e 5080- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
2729af9d 5081- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
7ca9296e 5082- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files

5121* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5122 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 5123 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
5124 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5125 with some other mail clients.

WD
5131 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5132 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5133 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5134 affected files).

WD
5148* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5149 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5150 for any of the boards.
c609719b 5151
2729af9d
WD
5152* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5153 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5154 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
c609719b 5155
2729af9d
WD
5156* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5157 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5158 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5159 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5160 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5161 modification.

WD
5163* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5164 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5165 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5166 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
