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
24ee89b9 53In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out

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

WD
357 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
358 of relying on the correctness of the configured
359 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
360 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
361 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 362 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)

368
66412c63 369- 85xx CPU Options:
ffd06e02
YS
370 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
371
372 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
373 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
374 compliance, among other possible reasons.
375
66412c63
KG
376 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
377
378 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
379 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
380 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
381
8f29084a
KG
382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
383

385 tree nodes for the given platform.
386
afa6b551
PK
387 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
388
389 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
390 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
391 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
392 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
393 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
394 purpose.
395
33eee330
SW
396 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
397
398 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
399 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
400 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
401
402 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
403 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
404
405 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
406 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
407
408 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
409 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
410 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
411 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
412
413 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
414 this erratum.
415
74fa22ed
PK
416 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND

490 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
491
492 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
493 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
494 better code density. For ARM architectures that support
495 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by

517 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
518
519 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
520 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
521 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
522 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
523 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
524 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
525 Linux kernel.
c609719b 526 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 527 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
c609719b

567 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
568
569 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
570 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
571 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
572 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
573 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
574 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

716- Console Rx buffer length
717 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
718 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
2b3f12c2 719 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
c92fac91

720 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
721 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
722 the SMC.

9558b48a 724- Pre-Console Buffer:
4cf2609b
WD
725 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
726 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
727 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
728 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
729 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
730 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
731 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 732 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
733 earlier bytes are discarded.
734
735 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
736 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

738- Safe printf() functions
739 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
740 the printf() functions. These are defined in
741 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
742 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
743 If this option is not given then these functions will
744 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
745 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.

768 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
769 define a command string that is automatically executed
770 when no character is read on the console interface
771 within "Boot Delay" after reset.

773 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
43d9616c

777
778 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c
WD
779 The value of these goes into the environment as
780 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
781 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 782 RAM and NFS.

784- Pre-Boot Commands:
785 CONFIG_PREBOOT
786
787 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
788 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
789 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
790 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
791 entering interactive mode.
792
793 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
794 automatically generated or modified. For an example
795 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
796 modified when the user holds down a certain
797 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
798 booting the systems
799
800- Serial Download Echo Mode:
801 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
802 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
803 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
804 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
805 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
806 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
807 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

924 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
925 support you can write:
926
602ad3b3
JL
927 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
928 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET

932
933 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 934 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
935 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
936 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
937 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
938 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
939 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
940 initial stack and some data.

945- Regular expression support:
946 CONFIG_REGEX
947 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
948 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
949 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
950 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
951
45ba8077
SG
952- Device tree:
953 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
954 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
955 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
956 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
957 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
958 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
959
2c0f79e4
SG
960 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
961 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
962
963 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
964 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
965 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
966 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
967 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
968 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 969
2c0f79e4
SG
970 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
971 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
972 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
973 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
974
975 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
976
977 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
978 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
979 still use the individual files if you need something more
980 exotic.
981
c609719b
WD
982- Watchdog:
983 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
984 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
985 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
986 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
987 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
988 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
989 available, then no further board specific code should
990 be needed to use it.
991
992 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
993 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
994 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
995 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
c609719b 996
c1551ea8
SR
997- U-Boot Version:
998 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
999 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1000 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1001 version as printed by the "version" command.
a1ea8e51

1033 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1034 pins supported by a particular chip.
1035
e92739d3

c609719b
WD
1039- Timestamp Support:
1040
43d9616c
WD
1041 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1042 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1043 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 1044 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .

1280 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1281 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
11ccc33f 1282 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
16c8d5e7
WD
1283 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty

1348- ULPI Layer Support:
1349 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1350 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1351 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1352 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1353 viewport is supported.
1354 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1355 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.

LS
1356 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1357 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1358 the appropriate value in Hz.

c609719b 1576
676d319e
SG
1577 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1578
1579 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1580 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1581 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1582 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1583 a per-section basis.

1599 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1600
7152b1d0 1601- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1602
8bde7f77
WD
1603 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1604 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1605 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1606 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1607 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1608 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1609 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1610 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1611
c0880485
NK
1612 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1613
1614 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1615 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1616 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1617 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1618 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1619 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1620 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1621 there is no need to set this option.
1622
1ca298ce
MW
1623 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1624
1625 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1626 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1627 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1628 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1629 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1630 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1631
1632 Example:
1633 setenv splashpos m,m
1634 => image at center of screen
1635
1636 setenv splashpos 30,20
1637 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1638
1639 setenv splashpos -10,m
1640 => vertically centered image
1641 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1642
581bb419
NK
1643 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_PREPARE
1644
1645 If this option is set then the board_splash_screen_prepare()
1646 function, which must be defined in your code, is called as part
1647 of the splash screen display sequence. It gives the board an
1648 opportunity to prepare the splash image data before it is
1649 processed and sent to the frame buffer by U-Boot.
1650
98f4a3df
SR
1651- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1652
1653 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1654 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1655 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1656
d5011762
AG
1657- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1658
1659 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1660 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1661 bmp command.
1662
f2b96dfb
LW
1663- Do compresssing for memory range:
1664 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1665
1666 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1667 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1668
c29fdfc1
WD
1669- Compression support:
1670 CONFIG_BZIP2
1671
1672 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1673 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1674 compressed images are supported.
1675
42d1f039 1676 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1677 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1678 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1679
fc9c1727
LCM
1680 CONFIG_LZMA
1681
1682 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1683 images is included.
1684
1685 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1686 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1687 formula:
1688
1689 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1690
1691 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1692 and Literal pos bits.
1693
1694 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1695 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1696 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1697 a very small buffer.
1698
1699 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1700 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1701 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

1709
1710 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1711
1712 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1713
1714 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 1715 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
1716
1717 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1718
1719 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1720 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1721 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1722 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1723
1724 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1725

WD
1787- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1788 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1789
1790 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1791 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1792 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1793 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1794 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1795 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1796 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1797 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1798 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
1799
1800 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1801 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec

1849 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1850
1851 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1852 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1853 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1854 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1855 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1856 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1857 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1858 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1859 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1860 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1861 this delay.

1863 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1864 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network

1913- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1914
1915 Several configurations allow to display the current
1916 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1917 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1918 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1919 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1920 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1921 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1922 feature in U-Boot.
1923
1924- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1925
1926 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1927 on those systems that support this (optional)
1928 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1929
1930- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1931
b37c7e5e 1932 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
945af8d7 1933 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
11ccc33f 1934 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
c609719b 1935
945af8d7 1936 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 1937 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
1938 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1939 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 1940 command line interface.
c609719b 1941
bb99ad6d 1942 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 1943
945af8d7 1944 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
b37c7e5e
WD
1945 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1946 support for I2C.
c609719b 1947
945af8d7 1948 There are several other quantities that must also be
b37c7e5e 1949 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
c609719b 1950
6d0f6bcf 1951 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 1952 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 1953 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 1954 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 1955
8d321b81 1956 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 1957 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
1958 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1959 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1960 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 1961
5da71efa
EM
1962 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1963
1964 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1965 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1966 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
1967 commands until the slave device responds.
1968
945af8d7 1969 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 1970
b37c7e5e
WD
1971 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1972 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1973 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
1974
1975 I2C_INIT
1976
b37c7e5e 1977 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 1978 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 1979
ba56f625 1980 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 1981
c609719b
WD
1982 I2C_PORT
1983
43d9616c
WD
1984 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1985 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1986 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
1987
1988 I2C_ACTIVE
1989
1990 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1991 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1992 define can be null.
1993
b37c7e5e
WD
1994 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1995
c609719b
WD
1996 I2C_TRISTATE
1997
1998 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1999 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2000 define can be null.
2001
b37c7e5e
WD
2002 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2003
c609719b
WD
2004 I2C_READ
2005
472d5460
YS
2006 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2007 false if it is low.
c609719b 2008
b37c7e5e
WD
2009 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2010
c609719b
WD
2011 I2C_SDA(bit)
2012
472d5460
YS
2013 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2014 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2015
b37c7e5e 2016 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 2017 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 2018 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 2019
c609719b
WD
2020 I2C_SCL(bit)
2021
472d5460
YS
2022 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2023 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2024
b37c7e5e 2025 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 2026 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
ba56f625 2027 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
b37c7e5e 2028
c609719b
WD
2029 I2C_DELAY
2030
2031 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2032 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2033 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
2034 like:
2035
b37c7e5e 2036 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 2037
793b5726
MF
2038 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2039
2040 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2041 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2042 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2043 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2044
2045 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2046 the generic GPIO functions.
2047
6d0f6bcf 2048 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 2049
8bde7f77
WD
2050 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2051 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2052 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2053 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2054 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2055 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2056 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2057 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 2058
26a33504
RR
2059 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2060
2061 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2062 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2063 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2064 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2065 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2066 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2067 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2068 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2069
17ea1177
WD
2070 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2071
2072 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2073 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2074 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2075
bb99ad6d
BW
2076 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2077
2078 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
2079 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2080 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d
BW
2081 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2082
6d0f6bcf 2083 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
2084
2085 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 2086 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
2087 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2088 a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d
BW
2089
2090 e.g.
2091 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
c0f40859 2092 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d
BW
2093
2094 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2095
c0f40859 2096 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
6d0f6bcf 2097 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
bb99ad6d
BW
2098
2099 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2100
6d0f6bcf 2101 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
2102
2103 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2104 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2105
6d0f6bcf 2106 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2107
2108 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2109 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2110
6d0f6bcf 2111 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2112
2113 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2114 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2115
6d0f6bcf 2116 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
2117
2118 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2119 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2120 specified DTT device.
2121
be5e6181
TT
2122 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
2123
2124 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
7817cb20 2125 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
be5e6181 2126
67b23a32
HS
2127 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
2128
2129 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
2130 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
2131 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
2132 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
2133 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
2134 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
2135
2136 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
2137 feature!
2138
2139 Example:
2140 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
2141 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
2142 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
2143
2144 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
2145
2146 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
2147 of I2C Busses with muxes:
2148
2149 => i2c bus
2150 Busses reached over muxes:
2151 Bus ID: 2
2152 reached over Mux(es):
2153 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
2154 Bus ID: 3
2155 reached over Mux(es):
2156 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
2157 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
2158 =>
2159
2160 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
f9a78b8d
MJ
2161 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
2162 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
67b23a32
HS
2163 the channel 4.
2164
2165 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
f9a78b8d 2166 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
67b23a32
HS
2167 the 2 muxes.
2168
2169 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
2170 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
2171 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
2172 to add this option to other architectures.
2173
2ac6985a
AD
2174 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2175
2176 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2177 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2178 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2179 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2180 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2181 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2182 the other.

8bde7f77 2243 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
c609719b 2244
6d0f6bcf 2245 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
c609719b 2246
43d9616c
WD
2247 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2248 status by the configuration function. This option
2249 will require a board or device specific function to
2250 be written.
c609719b
WD
2251
2252 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2253
2254 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2255 configuration driver.
2256
6d0f6bcf 2257 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
c609719b
WD
2258 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2259
6d0f6bcf 2260 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
c609719b 2261
43d9616c
WD
2262 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2263 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2264 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2265 indicated a CRC error).
c609719b 2266
6d0f6bcf 2267 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
c609719b 2268
43d9616c
WD
2269 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
2270 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
2271 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
11ccc33f 2272 ms.
c609719b 2273
6d0f6bcf 2274 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
c609719b 2275
43d9616c 2276 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
11ccc33f 2277 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
c609719b 2278
6d0f6bcf 2279 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
c609719b 2280
43d9616c 2281 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
11ccc33f 2282 200 ms.
c609719b
WD
2283
2284- Configuration Management:
2285 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2286
43d9616c
WD
2287 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2288 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2289
2290- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2291
43d9616c
WD
2292 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2293 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2294 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2295 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2296 protects these variables from casual modification by
2297 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2298 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2299 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2300
2301 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2302 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2303 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2304 these parameters.
2305
2306 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2307 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2308 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2309 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2310 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2311 read-only.]
2312
2598090b
JH
2313 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2314 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2315 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2316 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2317
c609719b
WD
2318- Protected RAM:
2319 CONFIG_PRAM
2320
2321 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2322 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2323 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2324 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2325 this default value by defining an environment
2326 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2327 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2328 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2329 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2330 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2331 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2332 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2333
fe126d8b 2334 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2335 saveenv
2336
2337 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2338 either, which results in a memory region that will
2339 not be affected by reboots.
2340
2341 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2342 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2343 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2344 following board configurations are known to be
2345 "pRAM-clean":
2346
1b0757ec
WD
2347 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2348 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
544d97e9 2349 FLAGADM, TQM8260
c609719b 2350
40fef049
GB
2351- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2352 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2353 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2354 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2355 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2356 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2357 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2358
c609719b
WD
2359- Error Recovery:
2360 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2361
2362 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2363 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2364 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2365 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2366 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2367 useful during development since you can try to debug
2368 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2369
2370 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2371
43d9616c
WD
2372 This variable defines the number of retries for
2373 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2374 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2375 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2376
40cb90ee
GL
2377 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2378
2379 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2380
48a3e999
TK
2381 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2382
2383 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2384 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2385 try longer timeout such as
2386 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2387
c609719b 2388- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2389 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
04a85b3b
WD
2390
2391 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2392
a9398e01
WD
2393 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2394 for the "hush" shell.
8078f1a5
WD
2395
2396
6d0f6bcf 2397 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2398
2399 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2400 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2401 powerful command line syntax like
2402 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2403 constructs ("shell scripts").
2404
2405 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2406 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2407
2408
6d0f6bcf 2409 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2410
2411 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2412 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2413 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2414
2415 Note:
2416
8bde7f77
WD
2417 In the current implementation, the local variables
2418 space and global environment variables space are
2419 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2420 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2421 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2422 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2423 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2424
43d9616c
WD
2425 Global environment variables are those you use
2426 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2427 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2428 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2429
2430 To store commands and special characters in a
2431 variable, please use double quotation marks
2432 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2433 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2434 symbols.

aa0c71ac
WD
2436- Commandline Editing and History:
2437 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2438
11ccc33f 2439 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
b9365a26 2440 commandline input operations
aa0c71ac 2441
a8c7c708 2442- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2443 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2444
43d9616c
WD
2445 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2446 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2447 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2448
43d9616c
WD
2449 For example, place something like this in your
2450 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2451
2452 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2453 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2454 "myvar2=value2\0"
2455
43d9616c
WD
2456 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2457 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2458 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2459 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2460 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2461 You better know what you are doing here.
2462
43d9616c
WD
2463 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2464 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2465 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2466 boot command first.
c609719b 2467

SW
2468 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2469
2470 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2471 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2472 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2473
2474 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2475
2476 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2477 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2478 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2479 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2480 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2481
7e27f89f
TR
2482 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2483
2484 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2485 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2486 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2487
06fd8538
SG
2488 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2489
2490 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2491 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2492 that so that the environment is not available until
2493 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2494 this is instead controlled by the value of
2495 /config/load-environment.
2496
a8c7c708 2497- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2498 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2499
8bde7f77
WD
2500 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2501 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2502 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2503
f61ec45e
EN
2504- Serial Flash support
2505 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2506
2507 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2508 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2509
2510 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2511 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2512 commands.
2513
2514 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2515 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2516 flash is present on the system.
2517
2518 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2519 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2520 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2521 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2522
24007273
SG
2523 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2524
2525 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2526 test ('sf test').
2527
1dcd6d03
JT
2528 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2529
2530 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2531 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2532
3f85ce27
WD
2533- SystemACE Support:
2534 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2535
2536 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2537 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2538 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2539 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2540
2541 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2542 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2543
2544 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2545 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2546
ecb0ccd9
WD
2547- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2548 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2549
28cb9375 2550 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2551 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2552 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2553 number generator is used.
2554
28cb9375
WD
2555 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2556 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2557 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2558
2559 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2560 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2561 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2562 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2563 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2564 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2565 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2566
bf36c5d5
SG
2567- Hashing support:
2568 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2569
2570 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2571 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2572
2573 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2574
2575 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2576 size a little.
2577
2578 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2579 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2580
2581 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2582 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2583
19c402af
SG
2584- Signing support:
2585 CONFIG_RSA
2586
2587 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2588 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2589
2590 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2591 option.
2592
2593
a8c7c708 2594- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
2595 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2596
43d9616c
WD
2597 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2598 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2599 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2600 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2601 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2602 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 2603
3a608ca0
SG
2604- Detailed boot stage timing
2605 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2606 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2607 of the boot process.
2608
2609 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2610 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2611 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2612 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2613 the limit, recording will stop.
2614
2615 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2616 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2617
2618 Timer summary in microseconds:
2619 Mark Elapsed Stage
2620 0 0 reset
2621 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2622 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9

2628
2eba38cf
SG
2629 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2630 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2631 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2632
94fd1316
SG
2633 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2634 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2635 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2636 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2637 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2638 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2639 For example:
2640
2641 bootstage {
2642 154 {
2643 name = "board_init_f";
2644 mark = <3575678>;
2645 };
2646 170 {
2647 name = "lcd";
2648 accum = <33482>;
2649 };
2650 };
2651
2652 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3134Board initialization settings:
3135------------------------------
3136
3137During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3138to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3139before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3140following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3141architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3142typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3143
3144- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3145- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3146- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3147- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

WD
3149Configuration Settings:
3150-----------------------
3151
6d0f6bcf 3152- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
c609719b
WD
3153 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3154
2fb2604d
PT
3155- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3156 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3157
6d0f6bcf 3158- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
c609719b
WD
3159 prompt for user input.
3160
6d0f6bcf 3161- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
c609719b 3162
6d0f6bcf 3163- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
c609719b 3164
6d0f6bcf 3165- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
c609719b 3166
6d0f6bcf 3167- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
c609719b
WD
3168 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3169 booted
3170
6d0f6bcf 3171- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b
WD
3172 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3173
6d0f6bcf 3174- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 3175 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 3176
6d0f6bcf 3177- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
3178 If the board specific function
3179 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3180 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
3181 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3182
6d0f6bcf 3183- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
8bde7f77 3184 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 3185
6d0f6bcf 3186- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
c609719b
WD
3187 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3188
6d0f6bcf 3189- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
3190 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3191 simple memory test.
3192
6d0f6bcf 3193- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
8bde7f77 3194 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
c609719b 3195
6d0f6bcf 3196- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
5f535fe1
WD
3197 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3198 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3199
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3200- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3201 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 3202 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 3203 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3204 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3205 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3206 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3207 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3208 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3209 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
3210
3211 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3212 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3213 be touched.
3214
3215 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3216 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3217 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3218 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3219 problems.
3220
6d0f6bcf 3221- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
c609719b
WD
3222 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3223
6d0f6bcf 3224- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3225 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3226
6d0f6bcf 3227- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3228 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3229 Cogent motherboard)
3230
6d0f6bcf 3231- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3232 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3233
6d0f6bcf 3234- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3235 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3236 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 3237 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 3238 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 3239
6d0f6bcf 3240- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
3241 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3242 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3243 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3244 flash sector.
c609719b 3245
6d0f6bcf 3246- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3247 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3248
6d0f6bcf 3249- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
3250 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3251 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 3252 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
3253 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3254
6d0f6bcf 3255- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
3256 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3257 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
3258 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3259 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3260 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3261 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3262 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
3263 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3264 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3265 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 3266
fca43cc8
JR
3267- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3268 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3269 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3270 is enabled.
3271
3272- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3273 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3274 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3275
3276- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3277 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3278 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3279
6d0f6bcf 3280- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
3281 Max number of Flash memory banks
3282
6d0f6bcf 3283- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
c609719b
WD
3284 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3285
6d0f6bcf 3286- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3287 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3288
6d0f6bcf 3289- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3290 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3291
6d0f6bcf 3292- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3293 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3294
6d0f6bcf 3295- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
8564acf9
WD
3296 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3297
6d0f6bcf 3298- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
3299 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3300 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3301
6d0f6bcf 3302- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3303
3304 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3305 without this option such a download has to be
3306 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3307 copy from RAM to flash.
3308
3309 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3310 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3311 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3312 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3313 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3314
6d0f6bcf 3315- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3316 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
3317 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3318
00b1883a 3319- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33
WD
3320 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3321 in the drivers directory
c609719b 3322
91809ed5
PZ
3323- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3324 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3325 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3326 to the MTD layer.
3327
6d0f6bcf 3328- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
3329 Use buffered writes to flash.
3330
3331- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3332 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3333 write commands.
3334
6d0f6bcf 3335- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3336 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3337 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3338 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3339 optionally available.
3340
9a042e9c
JVB
3341- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3342 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3343 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3344 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3345
352ef3f1
SR
3346- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3347 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3348 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3349 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3350 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3351 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3352 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3353 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3354
6d0f6bcf 3355- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
3356 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3357 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3358 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3359 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3360 on high Ethernet traffic.
53cf9435

3363- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3364
071bc923
WD
3365 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3366 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3367 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3368 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3369 lib/hashtable.c for details.

3371- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3372- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3373 Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when
3374 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3375 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3376 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.

3399 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3400 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3401 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3402
3403 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3404 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3405 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3406 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3407 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3408 ".flags" variable.

3414- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3415 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3416 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3417 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3418 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3419 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3420 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3421 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3422 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3423
632efa74
SG
3424- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3425 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3426 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3427 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3428 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3429
0b1b60c7

3430- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3431 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should

c609719b
WD
3435The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3436of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3437following configurations:
3438
c3eb3fe4
MF
3439- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3440
3441 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3442 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3443
5a1aceb0 3444- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3445
3446 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3447
3448 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3449 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3450 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3451 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3452 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3453 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3454 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3455 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3456 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3457 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3458 between U-Boot and the environment.
3459
0e8d1586 3460 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3461
3462 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3463 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3464 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3465 for this sector is given here.
3466
6d0f6bcf 3467 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3468
0e8d1586 3469 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3470
3471 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3472 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3473 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3474
0e8d1586 3475 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3476
3477 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3478
3479
3480 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3481 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3482 the environment.
3483
0e8d1586 3484 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3485
5a1aceb0 3486 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3487 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3488 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3489 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3490
3491 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3492 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3493 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3494 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3495 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3496 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3497 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3498 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3499 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3500
0e8d1586
JCPV
3501 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3502 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
c609719b 3503
43d9616c 3504 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 3505 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 3506 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 3507 a "saveenv" operation.
c609719b
WD
3508
3509BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3510source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3511accordingly!
3512
3513
9314cee6 3514- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD
3515
3516 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3517 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3518 environment.
3519
0e8d1586
JCPV
3520 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3521 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3522
11ccc33f 3523 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
3524 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3525 can just be read and written to, without any special
3526 provision.
3527
3528BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3529in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3530console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
3531U-Boot will hang.
3532
3533Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3534environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3535keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3536to save the current settings.
3537
3538
bb1f8b4f 3539- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
c609719b
WD
3540
3541 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access

JCPV
3544 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3545 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3546
3547 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3548 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3549
6d0f6bcf 3550 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3551 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3552 The default address is zero.
3553
6d0f6bcf 3554 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
3555 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3556 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3557 would require six bits.
3558
6d0f6bcf 3559 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 3560 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
ba56f625 3561 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
c609719b 3562
6d0f6bcf 3563 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3564 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3565 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3566
6d0f6bcf 3567 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
3568 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3569 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3570 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3571 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3572 byte chips.
3573
3574 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3575 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3576 in the chip address.
3577
6d0f6bcf 3578 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3579 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3580
548738b4
HS
3581 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3582 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3583 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3584
3585 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3586 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3587 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3588 EEPROM. For example:
3589
a9046b9e 3590 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0"
548738b4
HS
3591
3592 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3593 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
c609719b 3594
057c849c 3595- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
5779d8d9 3596
d4ca31c4 3597 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
5779d8d9
WD
3598 want to use for the environment.
3599
0e8d1586
JCPV
3600 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3601 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3602 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
5779d8d9
WD
3603
3604 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3605 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3606 at the specified address.
3607
0a85a9e7
LG
3608- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3609
3610 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3611 want to use for the local device's environment.
3612
3613 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3614 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3615
3616 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3617 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3618 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 3619 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7
LG
3620
3621BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3622"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa
LG
3623environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3624but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
0a85a9e7 3625
51bfee19 3626- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
13a5695b
WD
3627
3628 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3629 for the environment.
3630
0e8d1586
JCPV
3631 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3632 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
13a5695b
WD
3633
3634 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
fdd813de
SW
3635 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3636 aligned to an erase block boundary.
5779d8d9 3637
fdd813de 3638 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
e443c944 3639
0e8d1586 3640 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
3641 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3642 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 3643 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
3644 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3645
3646 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3647
3648 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3649 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3650 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3651 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3652 the range to be avoided.
3653
3654 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3655
3656 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3657 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3658 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3659 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3660 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
e443c944 3661
b74ab737
GL
3662- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3663
3664 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3665 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3666 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3667
2b74433f
JH
3668- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3669
3670 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3671 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3672 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3673
3674 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3675
3676 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3677
3678 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3679
3680 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3681 environment in.
3682
785881f7
JH
3683 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3684
3685 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3686 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3687 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3688
2b74433f
JH
3689 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3690 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3691
3692 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3693 when storing the env in UBI.
3694
06e4ae5f
SW
3695- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3696
3697 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3698 environment.
3699
3700 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3701
3702 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3703
3704 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3705
3706 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3707 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3708 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3709
3710 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3711 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3712
3713 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3714 area within the specified MMC device.
3715
5c088ee8
SW
3716 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3717 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3718 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3719 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3720 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3721 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3722 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3723
06e4ae5f
SW
3724 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3725 MMC sector boundary.
3726
3727 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3728
3729 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3730 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3731 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3732 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3733
5c088ee8
SW
3734 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3735 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3736
06e4ae5f
SW
3737 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3738 an MMC sector boundary.
3739
3740 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3741
3742 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3743 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3744 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3745
6d0f6bcf 3746- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
3747
3748 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3749 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3750 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3751 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3752 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3753 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3754 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3755
e881cb56 3756Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 3757has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 3758created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
3759until then to read environment variables.
3760
85ec0bcc
WD
3761The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3762is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3763with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3764necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3765"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3766have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
3767
3768Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3769the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 3770use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 3771
6d0f6bcf 3772- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
42d1f039 3773 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
fc3e2165 3774
6d0f6bcf 3775 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
fc3e2165
WD
3776 also needs to be defined.
3777
6d0f6bcf 3778- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
42d1f039 3779 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
c609719b 3780
f5675aa5
RM
3781- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3782 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3783 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3784 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3785 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3786 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
3787
b2b92f53
SG
3788- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3789 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
3790 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
3791 to do this.
3792
e2e3e2b1
SG
3793- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3794 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
3795 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
3796 present.

3803
6d0f6bcf 3804- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
c609719b 3805 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
2535d602 3806
42d1f039
WD
3807 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,

3811- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3812 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3813 PowerPC SOCs.
3814
3815- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3816 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3817 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3818
3819 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3820 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3821
3822- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3823 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3824 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 3825 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
3826 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3827 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3828 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3829
3830 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3831 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3832
3833- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
3834 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3835 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
3836 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3837 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3838
3839- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3840 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3841 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3842 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3843
3844- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3845 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3846 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
3847

WD
3860 defines the offset of register from address. It
3861 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
11ccc33f 3862 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
7f6c2cbc 3863
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3864 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
3865 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
43d9616c 3866 default value.
7f6c2cbc 3867
6d0f6bcf 3868 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
43d9616c
WD
3869 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
3870 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
3871 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
3872 initializations.

3874- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
3875 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
3876 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
3877 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
3878 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
3879 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
3880 is requierd.

c609719b 3887
7152b1d0 3888 Start address of memory area that can be used for
c609719b
WD
3889 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
3890 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
3891 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
3892 will become available only after programming the
3893 memory controller and running certain initialization
3894 sequences.
3895
3896 U-Boot uses the following memory types:

6d0f6bcf
JCPV
3904 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
3905 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
c609719b 3906 data is located at the end of the available space
553f0982 3907 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
6d0f6bcf

3912 Note:
3913 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
3914 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
6d0f6bcf 3915 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
c609719b

WD
4065 to the given FEC; i. e.
4066 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
c26e454d

4082 The syntax is:
4083
4084 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4085

8aa1a2d1 4108- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
afc1ce82 4109 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
844f07d8
WD
4110 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4111 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4112 relocate itself into RAM.
4113
4114 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4115 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4116 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4117 these initializations itself.

SG
4129- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4130 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4131 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4132 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4133 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4134 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4135 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4136 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

MW
4138- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4139 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4140 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4141 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4142 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4143
588a13f7

4153Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4154-----------------------------------
4155
4156The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4157loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4158This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4159are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4160within that device.
4161
4162- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4163 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4164 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4165 is also specified.
4166
4167- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4168 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4169 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4170 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4171 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4172
4173- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4174 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4175 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4176 virtual address in NOR flash.
4177
4178- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4179 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4180 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4181
4182- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4183 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4184 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4185
4186- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4187 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4188 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4189
292dc6c5
LG
4190- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4191 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4192 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
4193 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4194 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4195 master's memory space.

4197Building the Software:
4198======================
4199
218ca724
WD
4200Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4201and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4202all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4203(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4204recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4205which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 4206
218ca724
WD
4207If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4208have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4209you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4210Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4211necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 4212
218ca724
WD
4213 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4214 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 4215
2f8d396b
PT
4216Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4217 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4218 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4219 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4220
4221 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4222
4223 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4224 be executed on computers running Windows.
4225
218ca724
WD
4226U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4227sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
4228is done by typing:
4229
4230 make NAME_config
4231
218ca724 4232where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 4233rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 4234
2729af9d
WD
4235Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4236 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4237 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4238 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 4239 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
4240
4241 make TQM823L_config
4242 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4243
4244 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4245 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4246
4247 etc.
4248
4249
4250Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4251images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4252
4253- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4254- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4255- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4256
baf31249
MB
4257By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4258in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4259this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4260
42611. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4262
4263 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4264 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4265 make O=/tmp/build all
4266
42672. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4268
4269 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4270 make distclean
4271 make NAME_config
4272 make all
4273
4274Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4275variable.
4276
2729af9d
WD
4277
4278Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4279for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4280native "make".
4281
4282
4283If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4284to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4285steps:
4286
42871. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
4288 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4289 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
42902. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4291 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4292 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
42933. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4294 your board
42953. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4296 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
42974. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
42985. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4299 to be installed on your target system.
43006. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4301 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4302
4303
4304Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4305==============================================================
4306
218ca724
WD
4307If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4308or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
4309provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4310the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 4311official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 4312
218ca724
WD
4313But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4314cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
4315the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4316just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
4317for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4318select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4319environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4320you can type
2729af9d
WD
4321
4322 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4323
4324or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4325
4326 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4327
218ca724
WD
4328When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4329U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4330setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4331built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4332<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4333location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4334variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
4335
4336 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4337 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4338 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4339
218ca724
WD
4340With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4341log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4342during the whole build process.

4405Environment Variables:
4406======================
4407
4408U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4409can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 4410
2729af9d
WD
4411Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4412"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4413without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4414environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4415working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4416environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 4417
c96f86ee
WD
4418Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4419
4420List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
c609719b 4421
2729af9d 4422 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
c609719b 4423
2729af9d 4424 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
c609719b 4425
2729af9d 4426 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 4427
2729af9d 4428 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 4429
2729af9d 4430 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 4431
7d721e34
BS
4432 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4433 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4434 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4435 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4436 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4437 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
4438 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4439 bootm_mapsize.
4440
c0f40859 4441 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
4442 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4443 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4444 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4445 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4446 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4447 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
4448
4449 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4450 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4451 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4452 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4453 environment variable.
4454
4bae9090
BS
4455 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4456 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4457 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4458
2729af9d
WD
4459 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4460 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4461 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4462 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 4463
2729af9d
WD
4464 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4465 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4466 be automatically started (by internally calling
4467 "bootm")
38b99261 4468
2729af9d
WD
4469 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4470 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4471 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4472 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4473 data.
c609719b 4474
a28afca5
DL
4475 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4476 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
4477 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4478 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4479 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4480 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4481 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4482 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4483 access it during the boot procedure.
4484
a28afca5
DL
4485 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4486 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4487 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4488 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4489 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4490 must be accessible by the kernel.
4491
eea63e05
SG
4492 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4493 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4494 defined.
4495
17ea1177
WD
4496 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4497 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4498 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4499 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4500 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4501
2729af9d
WD
4502 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4503 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4504 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4505 is usually what you want since it allows for
4506 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4507 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 4508 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
4509 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4510 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4511 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4512 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 4513
2729af9d
WD
4514 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4515 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4516 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4517 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4518 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4519 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 4520
2729af9d 4521 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 4522
2729af9d
WD
4523 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4524 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4525 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4526 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4527 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4528 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4529 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 4530
2729af9d 4531 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 4532
2729af9d
WD
4533 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4534 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
c609719b 4535
2729af9d 4536 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
a3d991bd 4537
2729af9d 4538 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
a3d991bd 4539
2729af9d 4540 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
a3d991bd 4541
2729af9d 4542 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
a3d991bd 4543
2729af9d 4544 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
c609719b 4545
e2a53458 4546 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
c609719b 4547
e2a53458
MF
4548 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4549 For example you can do the following
c609719b 4550
48690d80
HS
4551 => setenv ethact FEC
4552 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4553 => setenv ethact SCC
4554 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
c609719b 4555
e1692577
MF
4556 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4557 available network interfaces.
4558 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4559
c96f86ee 4560 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
4561 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4562 When set to "once" the network operation will
4563 fail when all the available network interfaces
4564 are tried once without success.
4565 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4566 themselves.
c609719b 4567
b4e2f89d 4568 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 4569
28cb9375 4570 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
4571 UDP source port.
4572
28cb9375
WD
4573 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4574 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4575
c96f86ee
WD
4576 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4577 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4578
4579 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4580 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4581 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4582 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4583 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4584 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4585 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4586
4587 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 4588 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 4589 VLAN tagged frames.
c609719b 4590

4591The following image location variables contain the location of images
4592used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4593not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4594variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4595server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4596loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4597flash or offset in NAND flash.
4598
4599*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4600boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4601boards use these variables for other purposes.

4610The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4611updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4612depending the information provided by your boot server:
c609719b 4613
2729af9d
WD
4614 bootfile - see above
4615 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4616 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4617 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4618 hostname - Target hostname
4619 ipaddr - see above
4620 netmask - Subnet Mask
4621 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4622 serverip - see above
c1551ea8 4623
c1551ea8 4624
2729af9d 4625There are two special Environment Variables:
c1551ea8 4626
2729af9d
WD
4627 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4628 as type string and/or serial number
4629 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4630
2729af9d
WD
4631These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4632the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4633once they have been set once.
c609719b 4634
f07771cc 4635
2729af9d 4636Further special Environment Variables:
f07771cc 4637
2729af9d
WD
4638 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4639 with the "version" command. This variable is
4640 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

4647Callback functions for environment variables:
4648---------------------------------------------
4649
4650For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4651when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4652be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4653deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4654effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4655
4656The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4657U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4658
4659These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4660static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4661in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4662associations. The list must be in the following format:
4663
4664 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4665 list = entry[,list]
4666
4667If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4668Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4669
4670Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4671with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4672override any association in the static list. You can define
4673CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4674".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

4677Command Line Parsing:
4678=====================
f07771cc 4679
2729af9d
WD
4680There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4681the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 4682
2729af9d
WD
4683Old, simple command line parser:
4684--------------------------------
c609719b 4685
2729af9d
WD
4686- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4687- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 4688- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
4689- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4690 for example:
fe126d8b 4691 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
4692- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4693 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 4694
2729af9d
WD
4695Hush shell:
4696-----------
c609719b 4697
2729af9d
WD
4698- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4699 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4700 until...do...done, ...
4701- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4702 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4703 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4704 command
4705
4706General rules:
4707--------------
c609719b 4708
2729af9d
WD
4709(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4710 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4711 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4712 executed anyway.
c609719b 4713
2729af9d 4714(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 4715 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
4716 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4717 variables are not executed.
c609719b 4718

WD
4719Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4720=======================================
c609719b 4721
11ccc33f 4722Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
4723such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4724"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 4725
2729af9d
WD
4726Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4727MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4728"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 4729
2729af9d
WD
4730If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4731in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4732ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4733variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 4734
2729af9d
WD
4735o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4736 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 4737
2729af9d
WD
4738o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4739 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4740 used.
c609719b 4741
2729af9d
WD
4742o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4743 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 4744
2729af9d
WD
4745o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4746 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4747 warning is printed.
c609719b 4748
2729af9d
WD
4749o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4750 is raised.
c609719b 4751
ecee9324 4752If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 4753will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
4754may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4755The naming convention is as follows:
4756"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

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

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

4827Linux HOWTO:
4828============
c609719b 4829
2729af9d
WD
4830Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4831---------------------------------------
c609719b 4832
2729af9d
WD
4833U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4834configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4835(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4836Linux :-).
c609719b 4837
a47a12be 4838But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 4839
2729af9d
WD
4840Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4841include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
4842Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4843and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 4844as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 4845
c609719b 4846
2729af9d
WD
4847Configuring the Linux kernel:
4848-----------------------------
c609719b 4849
2729af9d
WD
4850No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4851device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4852
4853
4854Building a Linux Image:
4855-----------------------
c609719b 4856
2729af9d
WD
4857With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4858not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4859"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4860U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4861which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4862100% compatible format.
4863
4864Example:
4865
4866 make TQM850L_config
4867 make oldconfig
4868 make dep
4869 make uImage
4870
4871The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4872encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4873CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4874
4875* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4876
4877* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4878
4879 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4880 -R .note -R .comment \
4881 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4882
4883* compress the binary image:
4884
4885 gzip -9 linux.bin
4886
4887* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4888
4889 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4890 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4891 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 4892
c609719b 4893
2729af9d
WD
4894The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4895with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4896combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4897byte header containing information about target architecture,
4898operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4899stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4900
4901"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4902print the header information, or to build new images.
4903
4904In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4905contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4906checksum verification:
c609719b 4907
2729af9d
WD
4908 tools/mkimage -l image
4909 -l ==> list image header information
4910
4911The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4912from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4913
4914 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4915 -n name -d data_file image
4916 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4917 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4918 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4919 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4920 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4921 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4922 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4923 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4924
69459791
WD
4925Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4926address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4927kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
4928
4929- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4930- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4931
4932So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4933
4934 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4935 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 4936 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD

4942 Load Address: 0x00000000
4943 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4944
4945To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4946

4948 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

4952 Load Address: 0x00000000
4953 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4954
4955NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4956speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4957needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4958need to be uncompressed:
4959
a47a12be 4960 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d
WD
4961 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4962 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \

4973Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
4974when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
4975
4976 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \

4983 Load Address: 0x00000000
4984 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4985
4986
4987Installing a Linux Image:
4988-------------------------
4989
4990To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4991you must convert the image to S-Record format:
4992
4993 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
4994
4995The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4996image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4997address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4998specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4999command.
5000
5001Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5002TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5003
5004 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5005
5006 .......... done
5007 Erased 8 sectors
5008
5009 => loads 40100000
5010 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5017 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5018
5019
5020You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
218ca724 5021this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data

5035Boot Linux:
5036-----------
5037
5038The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5039memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5040of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5041parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5042"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5043
5044
5045 => printenv bootargs
5046 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5047
5048 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5167More About U-Boot Image Types:
5168------------------------------
5169
5170U-Boot supports the following image types:
5171
5172 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5173 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5174 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5175 the Standalone Program.
5176 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5177 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5178 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5179 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5180 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5181 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5182 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5183 being started.
5184 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5185 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5186 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5187 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5188 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5189 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5190
5191 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5192 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5193 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5194 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5195 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5196 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5197
5198 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5199 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5200 flash memory.
5201
5202 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5203 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5204 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5205 as command interpreter.

5207Booting the Linux zImage:
5208-------------------------
5209
5210On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5211using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5212as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5213
8ac28563 5214Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
017e1f3f
MV
5215kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5216address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5217format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5219
5220Standalone HOWTO:
5221=================
5222
5223One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5224run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5225U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5226
5227Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5228
5229"Hello World" Demo:
5230-------------------
5231
5232'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5233application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5234It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5235like that:

5249 argv[0] = "40004"
5250 argv[1] = "Hello"
5251 argv[2] = "World!"
5252 argv[3] = "This"
5253 argv[4] = "is"
5254 argv[5] = "a"
5255 argv[6] = "test."
5256 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5257 Hit any key to exit ...

5260
5261Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5262handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5263Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5264The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5265character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5266controlled by the following keys:
5267
5268 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5269 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5270 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5271 q - quit application

5308Minicom warning:
5309================
5310
5311Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5312"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5313consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5314Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5315especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
5316use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See

5329NetBSD Notes:
5330=============
5331
5332Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5333(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5334
5335Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5336NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5337need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5338Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5339attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5340missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5341
5342 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5343 # mkdir powerpc
5344 # ln -s powerpc machine
5345 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5346 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5347
5348Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5349and U-Boot include files.
5350
5351Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5352stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5353proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5354tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 5355meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5358Implementation Internals:
5359=========================
5360
5361The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5362implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5363inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5364hardware.
5365
5366
5367Initial Stack, Global Data:
5368---------------------------
5369
5370The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5371starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5372system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5373This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5374is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5375at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5376options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5377models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5378MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5379locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5380
218ca724 5381 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 5382 U-Boot mailing list:

5387 ...
5388
5389 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5390 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5391 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5392 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5393 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 5394 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
5395 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5396 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5397
5398 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5399 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 5400 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
5401 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5402 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5403 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5404 used.
5405
6d0f6bcf 5406 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
5407 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5408 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 5409 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
5410 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5411 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5412 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5413 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5414 you get the config right.

5418
5419It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5420code for the initialization procedures:
5421
5422* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5423 to write it.
5424
11ccc33f 5425* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
5426 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5427 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5428
5429* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5430 that.
5431
5432Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5433normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5434turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5435simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5436functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5437functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5438the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5439place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5440reserve for this purpose.
5441
5442When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5443relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5444GCC's implementation.
5445
5446For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5447 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 5448 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
5449 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5450 R5-R10: parameter passing
5451 R13: small data area pointer
5452 R30: GOT pointer
5453 R31: frame pointer
5454
e6bee808
JT
5455 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5456 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5457 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 5458
e7670f6c 5459 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
5460
5461 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5462 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5463 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5464 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5465 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5466 624 text + 127 data).

5493 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

5495On NDS32, the following registers are used:

5511
5512Memory Management:
5513------------------
5514
5515U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5516MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5517
5518The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5519controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5520memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5521physical memory banks.
5522
5523U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5524TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5525booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5526to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 5527memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
5528configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5529Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5530
5531Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5532of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5533
5534So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5535this:
5536
5537 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5538 :
5539 0x0000 1FFF
5540 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5541 :
5542 :
5543
5544 :
5545 :
5546 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5547 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5548 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5549 :
5550 0x00FD FFFF
5551 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5552 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5553 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5554 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5555
5556
5557System Initialization:
5558----------------------
c609719b 5559
2729af9d 5560In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 5561(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
5562configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5563To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5564To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5565initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5566which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5567part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5568the caches and the SIU.
5569
5570Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5571preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5572(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5573on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5574programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5575simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5576banks.
5577
5578When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5579different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5580bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
55810x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5582contiguous memory starting from 0.
5583
5584Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5585and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5586Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5587pages, and the final stack is set up.
5588
5589Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5590until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5591running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5592new address in RAM.

5699Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5700establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5701may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.

5708When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5709it:
c609719b 5710
2729af9d
WD
5711* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5712 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5713 patch actually fixes something.
c609719b 5714
2729af9d
WD
5715* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5716 implementation.
c609719b 5717
2729af9d 5718* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
c609719b 5719
2729af9d 5720* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
c609719b 5721
2729af9d 5722* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
7ca9296e 5723 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too.
c609719b 5724
2729af9d
WD
5725* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5726 document these in the README file.
c609719b 5727

5728* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5729 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 5730 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
5731 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5732 with some other mail clients.
5733
5734 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5735 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5736 GNU diff.
c609719b 5737
218ca724
WD
5738 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5739 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5740 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5741 affected files).

5743 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5744 and compressed attachments must not be used.
c609719b 5745
2729af9d
WD
5746* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5747 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
52f52c14 5748
2729af9d
WD
5749* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5750 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

c609719b 5754
2729af9d
WD
5755* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5756 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5757 for any of the boards.
c609719b 5758
2729af9d
WD
5759* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5760 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5761 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.

WD
5763* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5764 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5765 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5766 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5767 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5768 modification.

5770* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5771 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5772 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5773 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
