8 Summary:
9 ========
10
11 This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
12 Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13 processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14 initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15 code.
16
17 The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
18 the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19 header files in common, and special provision has been made to
20 support booting of Linux images.
21
22 Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23 configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24 implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25 add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26 code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27 load and run it dynamically.
28
29
30 Status:
31 =======
32
33 In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
34 Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
35 "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
36
37 In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
38 who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board
39 maintainers.
40
41 Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree;
42 it can be created dynamically from the Git log using:
43
44 make CHANGELOG

227 Software Configuration:
228 =======================
229
230 Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231 rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
232
233 There are two classes of configuration variables:
234
235 * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
237 "CONFIG_".
238
239 * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
242 "CONFIG_SYS_".
243
244 Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245 identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246 do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247 links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
248 as an example here.
249
250
251 Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252 ---------------------------------------------------
253
254 For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
255 configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
256
257 Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
260 make TQM823L_defconfig
261
262 For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
263 e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
264 directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
265
266
267 Sandbox Environment:
268 --------------------
269
270 U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
271 board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
272 specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
273 run some of U-Boot's tests.
274
275 See board/sandbox/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
276
277
278 Configuration Options:
279 ----------------------
280
281 Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282 such information is kept in a configuration file
283 "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285 Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286 "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
289 Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290 kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291 build a config tool - later.
292
293
294 The following options need to be configured:
295
296 - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
297
298 - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
299
300 - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
301 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
302
303 - CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
304 Define exactly one of
305 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
306 --- FIXME --- not tested yet:
307 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
308 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
309
310 - Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
311 Define exactly one of
312 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
313
314 - Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
315 Define one or more of
316 CONFIG_CMA302
317
318 - Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
319 Define one or more of
320 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on
321 the LCD display every second with
322 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
323
324 - Marvell Family Member
325 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
326 multiple fs option at one time
327 for marvell soc family
328
329 - MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
330 Define exactly one of
331 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
332
333 - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
334 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
335 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
336 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
337 reference PIT/RTC clock
338 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
339 or XTAL/EXTAL)
340
341 - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
342 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
343 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
344 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
345 See doc/README.MPC866
346
347 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
348
349 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
350 of relying on the correctness of the configured
351 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
352 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
353 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
354 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
355
356 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
357
358 Define this option if you want to enable the
359 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
360
361 - 85xx CPU Options:
362 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
363
364 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
365 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
366 compliance, among other possible reasons.
367
368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
369
370 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
371 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
372 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
373
374 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
375
376 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
377 tree nodes for the given platform.
378
379 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
380
381 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
382 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
383 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
384 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
385 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
386 purpose.
387
388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
389
390 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
391 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
393
394 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
395 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
396
397 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
398 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
399
400 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
401 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
402 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
403 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
404
405 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
406 this erratum.
407
408 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
409 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
410 requred during NOR boot.
411
412 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
413
414 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
415 according to the A004510 workaround.
416
417 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
418 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
419 connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
420
421 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
422 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
423 which is directly connected to the DSP core.
424
425 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
426 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
427 connected to the DSP core.
428
429 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
430 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
431
432 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
433 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
434 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
435 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
436
437 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
438 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
439 time of U-boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
440
441 CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
442 Inidcates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
443 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
444
445 - Generic CPU options:
446 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
447 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
448 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
449 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
450 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
451
452 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
453
454 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
455 values is arch specific.
456

565 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
566 Possible values are:
567 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
568 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA
569 CONF_CM_UNCACHED
570 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT
571 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE
572 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW
573 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW
574 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
575
576 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
577
578 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
579 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
580
581 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
582
583 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
584 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
585 be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
586
587 - ARM options:
588 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
589
590 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
591 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
592
593 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
594
595 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
596 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
597 better code density. For ARM architectures that support
598 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
599 GCC.
600
601 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
602 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
603 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
604 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
605 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
606 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
607
608 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
609 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
610 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
611 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
612 set these options unless they apply!
613
614 - CPU timer options:
615 CONFIG_SYS_HZ
616
617 The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer().
618 get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG
619 option must be set to 1000.
620
621 - Linux Kernel Interface:
622 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
623
624 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
625 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
626 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
627 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
628 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
629 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
630 Linux kernel.
631 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
632 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
633 default environment.
634
635 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
636
637 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
638 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
639 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
640
641 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
642
643 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
644 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
645 concepts).
646
647 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
648 * New libfdt-based support
649 * Adds the "fdt" command
650 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
651
652 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
653 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
654 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
655 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
656 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
657 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
658
659 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
660 addresses
661
662 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
663
664 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
665 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
666
667 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
668
669 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
670 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
671
672 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
673
674 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
675 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
676 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
677 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
678 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
679 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
680
681 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
682
683 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
684 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
685 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
686 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
687 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
688 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
689 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
690
691 - vxWorks boot parameters:
692
693 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
694 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
695 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
696
697 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
698 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
699 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
700 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
701
702 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
703
704 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
705
706 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
707 the defaults discussed just above.
708
709 - Cache Configuration:
710 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
711 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
712 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
713
714 - Cache Configuration for ARM:
715 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
716 controller
717 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
718 controller register space
719
720 - Serial Ports:
721 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
722
723 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
724
725 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
726
727 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
728
729 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
730
731 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
732 the clock speed of the UARTs.
733
734 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
735
736 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
737 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
738 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
739
740 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
741
742 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
743 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
744 this variable to initialize the extra register.
745
746 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
747
748 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
749 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
750 variable to flush the UART at init time.
751
752 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
753
754 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
755 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
756
757 - Console Interface:
758 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
759 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
760 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
761 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
762
763 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
764 port routines must be defined elsewhere
765 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
766
767 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
768 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
769 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
770 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
771 (default big endian)
772 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
773 rectangle fill
774 (cf. smiLynxEM)
775 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
776 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
777 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns
778 (cols=pitch)
779 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows
780 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel
781 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format
782 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
783 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address
784 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct
785 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
786 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct
787 (i.e. i8042_tstc)
788 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
789 (i.e. i8042_getc)
790 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off
791 (requires blink timer
792 cf. i8042.c)
793 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
794 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in
795 upper right corner
796 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
797 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
798 upper left corner
799 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
800 linux_logo.h for logo.
801 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
802 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
803 additional board info beside
804 the logo
805
806 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
807 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
808 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
809
810 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
811 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
812 environment 'console=serial'.
813
814 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
815 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
816 the "silent" environment variable. See
817 doc/README.silent for more information.
818
819 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
820 is 0x00.
821 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
822 is 0xa0.
823
824 - Console Baudrate:
825 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
826 Select one of the baudrates listed in
827 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
828 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
829
830 - Console Rx buffer length
831 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
832 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
833 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
834 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
835 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
836 the SMC.
837
838 - Pre-Console Buffer:
839 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
840 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
841 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
842 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
843 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
844 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
845 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
846 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
847 earlier bytes are discarded.
848
849 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
850 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
851
852 - Safe printf() functions
853 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
854 the printf() functions. These are defined in
855 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
856 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
857 If this option is not given then these functions will
858 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
859 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
860
861 - Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
862 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
863 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
864 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
865 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
866
867 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
868 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
869 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
870 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
871 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
872 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
873 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
874 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
875 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
877 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
878 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
879
880 - Autoboot Command:
881 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
882 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
883 define a command string that is automatically executed
884 when no character is read on the console interface
885 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
886
887 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
888 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
889 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
890 environment value "bootargs".
891
892 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
893 The value of these goes into the environment as
894 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
895 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
896 RAM and NFS.
897
898 - Bootcount:
899 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
900 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
901 cycle, see:
902 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
903
904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
905 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
906 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
907 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
908 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
909 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
910 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
911 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
912 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
913
914 - Pre-Boot Commands:
915 CONFIG_PREBOOT
916
917 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
918 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
919 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
920 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
921 entering interactive mode.
922
923 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
924 automatically generated or modified. For an example
925 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
926 modified when the user holds down a certain
927 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
928 booting the systems
929
930 - Serial Download Echo Mode:
931 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
932 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
933 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
934 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
935 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
936 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
937 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
938
939 - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
940 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
941 Select one of the baudrates listed in
942 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
943
944 - Monitor Functions:
945 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
946 from the build by using the #include files
947 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
948 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
949 and augmenting with additional #define's
950 for wanted commands.
951
952 The default command configuration includes all commands
953 except those marked below with a "*".

1061 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1062 support you can write:
1063
1064 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1065 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1066
1067 Other Commands:
1068 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1069
1070 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1071 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1072 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1073 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1074 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1075 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1076 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1077 initial stack and some data.
1078
1079
1080 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1081
1082 - Regular expression support:
1083 CONFIG_REGEX
1084 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1085 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1086 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1087 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1088
1089 - Device tree:
1090 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1091 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1092 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1093 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1094 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1095 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1096
1097 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1098 be done using one of the two options below:
1099
1100 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1101 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1102 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1103 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1104 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1105 the global data structure as gd->blob.
1106
1107 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1108 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1109 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1110 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1111
1112 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1113
1114 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1115 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1116 still use the individual files if you need something more
1117 exotic.
1118
1119 - Watchdog:
1120 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1121 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1122 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1123 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1124 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1125 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1126 available, then no further board specific code should
1127 be needed to use it.
1128
1129 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1130 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1131 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1132 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1133
1134 - U-Boot Version:
1135 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1136 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1137 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1138 version as printed by the "version" command.
1139 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1140 next reset.
1141
1142 - Real-Time Clock:
1143
1144 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1145 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1146 following options:
1147
1148 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1149 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1150 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1151 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1152 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1153 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1154 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1155 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
1156 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1157 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1158 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1159 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1160 RV3029 RTC.
1161
1162 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1163 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1164
1165 - GPIO Support:
1166 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1167
1168 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1169 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1170 pins supported by a particular chip.
1171
1172 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1173 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1174
1175 - I/O tracing:
1176 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1177 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1178 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1179 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1180 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1181 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1182 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1183 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1184
1185 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1186 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1187 still continue to operate.
1188
1189 iotrace is enabled
1190 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1191 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1192 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1193 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1194 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1195 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1196
1197 - Timestamp Support:
1198
1199 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1200 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1201 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1202 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1203
1204 - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1205 Zero or more of the following:
1206 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.

1209 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1210 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1211 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1212 disk/part_efi.c
1213 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
1214
1215 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1216 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1217 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1218
1219 - IDE Reset method:
1220 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1221 board configurations files but used nowhere!
1222
1223 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1224 be performed by calling the function
1225 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1226 which has to be defined in a board specific file
1227
1228 - ATAPI Support:
1229 CONFIG_ATAPI
1230
1231 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1232
1233 - LBA48 Support
1234 CONFIG_LBA48
1235
1236 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1237 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1238 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1239 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1240
1241 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1242 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1243 Default is 32bit.
1244

1248 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1249
1250 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1251 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1252 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1253 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1254 devices.
1255 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1256

1345 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1346 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1347 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1348 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1349 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1350 control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1351 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.

1426 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1427 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1428 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1429 storage devices.
1430 Note:
1431 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1432 (TEAC FD-05PUB).
1433 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:

1445 instead of using asynchronous interrupts
1446
1447 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
1448 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
1449
1450 - USB Device:
1451 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1452 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1453 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1454 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1455 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1456 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1457 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1458 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1459 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1460 a Linux host by
1461 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1462 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1463 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1464 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1465
1466 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1467 Define this to build a UDC device
1468
1469 CONFIG_USB_TTY
1470 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1471 talk to the UDC device
1472
1473 CONFIG_USBD_HS
1474 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1475 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1476 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1477 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1478 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1479 speed.
1480
1481 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1482 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1483 be set to usbtty.
1484
1485 mpc8xx:
1486 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH

1488 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1489
1490 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
1491 Derive USB clock from brgclk
1492 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
1493
1494 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1495 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1496 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1497 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1498 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1499 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1500
1501 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1502 Define this string as the name of your company for
1503 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1504
1505 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1506 Define this string as the name of your product
1507 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1508
1509 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1510 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1511 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1512 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1513 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1514
1515 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1516 Define this as the unique Product ID
1517 for your device
1518 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1519
1520 - ULPI Layer Support:
1521 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1522 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1523 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1524 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1525 viewport is supported.
1526 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1527 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1528 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1529 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1530 the appropriate value in Hz.
1531
1532 - MMC Support:
1533 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1534 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1535 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1536 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1537 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1538 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1539
1540 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1541 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1542
1543 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR

1556 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1557 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1558
1559 - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1560 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION
1561 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1562
1563 CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1564 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1565 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1566 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1567 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1568
1569 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1570 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1571
1572 CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1573 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1574
1575 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1576 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1577 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1578 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1579 one that would help mostly the developer.
1580
1581 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1582 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1583 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1584 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1585 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1586
1587 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1588 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1589 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1590 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1591 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1592 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1593
1594 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1595 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1596 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1597 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1598
1599 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1600 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1601 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1602 sending again an USB request to the device.
1603
1604 - USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1605 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1606 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1607 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1608 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1609 used on Android devices.
1610 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1611
1612 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1613 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1614 image format header.
1615
1616 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1617 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1618 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1619 downloaded images.
1620
1621 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1622 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1623 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1624 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1625
1626 - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1627 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
1628 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
1629 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1630
1631 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1632 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1633 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1634
1635 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1636 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1637 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1638
1639 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1640 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
1641 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1642 have not defined a custom partition
1643
1644 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1645 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1646
1647 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1648 file in FAT formatted partition.
1649
1650 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1651 user to write files to FAT.
1652
1653 CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1654 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS
1655
1656 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1657 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1658 and cbfsload.
1659
1660 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1661 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1662
1663 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1664 a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1665
1666 - Keyboard Support:
1667 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
1668
1669 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
1670 support
1671
1672 CONFIG_I8042_KBD
1673 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
1674 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
1675 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
1676 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
1677
1678 CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB
1679 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface.
1680 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller
1681 which provides key scans on request.
1682
1683 - Video support:
1684 CONFIG_VIDEO
1685
1686 Define this to enable video support (for output to
1687 video).
1688
1689 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1690
1691 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1692
1693 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1694 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1695 video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1696 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1697 assumed.
1698
1699 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1700 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1701 are possible:
1702 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1703 Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
1704
1705 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1706 -------------+---------------------------------------------
1707 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307
1708 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319
1709 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A
1710 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
1711 -------------+---------------------------------------------
1712 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1713
1714 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1715 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1716
1717
1718 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1719 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1720 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1721 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1722
1723 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1724 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1725 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1726 support, and should also define these other macros:
1727
1728 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1729 CONFIG_VIDEO
1730 CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1731 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1732 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1733 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1734 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1735 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1736
1737 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1738 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1739 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
1740 description of this variable.
1741
1742 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA
1743
1744 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
1745 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer
1746 driver.
1747
1748
1749 - Keyboard Support:
1750 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1751
1752 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1753 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1754 defined in your board-specific files.
1755 The only board using this so far is RBC823.
1756
1757 - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1758
1759 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1760 display); also select one of the supported displays
1761 by defining one of these:
1762
1763 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1764
1765 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1766
1767 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1768
1769 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1770
1771 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1772
1773 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1774 Active, color, single scan.
1775
1776 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1777
1778 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1779 Active, color, single scan.
1780
1781 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1782
1783 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1784 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1785
1786 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1787
1788 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1789 Active, color, single scan.
1790
1791 CONFIG_HLD1045
1792
1793 HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1794 Active, color, single scan.
1795
1796 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1797
1798 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1799 or
1800 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
1801 or
1802 Hitachi SP14Q002
1803
1804 320x240. Black & white.
1805
1806 Normally display is black on white background; define
1807 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1808
1809 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1810
1811 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1812 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1813 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1814 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1815 a per-section basis.
1816
1817 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1818
1819 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1820 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1821 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1822 is slow.
1823
1824 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1825
1826 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1827
1828 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1829
1830 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1831 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1832
1833 - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1834
1835 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1836 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1837 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1838 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1839 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1840 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1841 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1842 loaded very quickly after power-on.
1843
1844 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1845
1846 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1847 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1848 (see README.displaying-bmps).
1849 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1850 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1851 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1852 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1853 there is no need to set this option.
1854
1855 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1856
1857 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1858 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1859 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1860 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1861 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1862 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1863
1864 Example:
1865 setenv splashpos m,m
1866 => image at center of screen
1867
1868 setenv splashpos 30,20
1869 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1870
1871 setenv splashpos -10,m
1872 => vertically centered image
1873 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1874
1875 - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1876
1877 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1878 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1879 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1880
1881 - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1882
1883 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1884 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1885 bmp command.
1886
1887 - Do compresssing for memory range:
1888 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1889
1890 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1891 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1892
1893 - Compression support:
1894 CONFIG_GZIP
1895
1896 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1897
1898 CONFIG_BZIP2
1899
1900 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1901 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1902 compressed images are supported.
1903
1904 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1905 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1906 be at least 4MB.
1907
1908 CONFIG_LZMA
1909
1910 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1911 images is included.
1912
1913 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1914 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1915 formula:
1916
1917 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1918
1919 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1920 and Literal pos bits.
1921
1922 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1923 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1924 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1925 a very small buffer.
1926
1927 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1928 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1929 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1930
1931 CONFIG_LZO
1932
1933 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1934 is included.
1935
1936 - MII/PHY support:
1937 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1938
1939 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1940
1941 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1942
1943 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1944
1945 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1946
1947 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1948 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1949
1950 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1951
1952 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1953 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1954 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1955 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1956
1957 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1958
1959 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1960 command issued before MII status register can be read
1961
1962 - Ethernet address:
1963 CONFIG_ETHADDR
1964 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
1965 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
1966 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
1967 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
1968 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
1969
1970 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1971 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
1972 is not determined automatically.
1973
1974 - IP address:
1975 CONFIG_IPADDR
1976
1977 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1978 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1979 determined through e.g. bootp.
1980 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
1981
1982 - Server IP address:
1983 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1984
1985 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1986 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1987 (Environment variable "serverip")
1988
1989 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1990
1991 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1992 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1993
1994 - Gateway IP address:
1995 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1996
1997 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1998 default router where packets to other networks are
1999 sent to.
2000 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2001
2002 - Subnet mask:
2003 CONFIG_NETMASK
2004
2005 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2006 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2007 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2008 forwarded through a router.
2009 (Environment variable "netmask")
2010
2011 - Multicast TFTP Mode:
2012 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2013
2014 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2015 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
2016 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
2017 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2018 multicast group.
2019
2020 - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2021 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2022
2023 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2024 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2025 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2026 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2027 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2028 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2029 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2030 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
2031 following delays are inserted then:
2032
2033 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2034 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2035 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2036 4th and following
2037 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2038
2039 - DHCP Advanced Options:
2040 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2041 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2042
2043 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2044 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2045 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2046 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2047 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2048 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2049 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2050 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
2051 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2052 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2053 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2054 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2055 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
2056
2057 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2058 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
2059
2060 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2061 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2062 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2063 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2064 is not available.
2065
2066 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2067 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2068 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2069 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2070 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2071 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2072 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2073 is defined.
2074
2075 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2076 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2077 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
2078 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
2079 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2080 option 12 to the DHCP server.
2081
2082 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2083
2084 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2085 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2086 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2087 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2088 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2089 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2090 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2091 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2092 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2093 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2094 this delay.
2095
2096 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2097 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2098 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2099 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2100 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2101
2102 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
2103
2104 - CDP Options:
2105 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2106
2107 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2108
2109 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2110
2111 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2112 of the device.
2113
2114 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2115
2116 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2117 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2118 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2119
2120 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2121
2122 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2123 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2124
2125 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
2126
2127 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2128
2129 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
2130
2131 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2132
2133 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
2134
2135 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2136
2137 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2138
2139 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2140 device in .1 of milliwatts.
2141
2142 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2143
2144 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2145
2146 - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2147
2148 Several configurations allow to display the current
2149 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2150 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2151 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2152 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2153 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2154 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2155 feature in U-Boot.
2156
2157 Additional options:
2158
2159 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2160 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2161 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2162 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2163 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2164
2165 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2166 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2167 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2168 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2169 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2170 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2171
2172 - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2173
2174 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2175 on those systems that support this (optional)
2176 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2177
2178 - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2179
2180 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2181 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2182 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2183 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2184 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2185 interface.
2186
2187 ported i2c driver to the new framework:

2305
2306 additional defines:
2307
2308 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2309 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2310 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2311 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2312 omit this define.
2313
2314 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2315 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2316 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2317 omit this define.
2318
2319 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2320 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2321 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2322 define.
2323
2324 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2325 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2326 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2327 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2328 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2329
2330 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2331 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2332 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2333 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2334 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2335 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2336 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2337 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2338 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2339 }
2340
2341 which defines
2342 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2343 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2344 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2345 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2346 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
2347 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2348 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2349 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2350 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2351
2352 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2353
2354 - Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2355
2356 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2357 provides the following compelling advantages:
2358
2359 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2360 - approved multibus support
2361 - better i2c mux support
2362
2363 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2364
2365 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2366 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2367 for the selected CPU.
2368
2369 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2370 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2371 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2372 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2373 command line interface.
2374
2375 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2376
2377 There are several other quantities that must also be
2378 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2379
2380 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2381 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2382 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2383 the CPU's i2c node address).
2384
2385 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2386 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2387 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2388 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2389 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2390
2391 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2392
2393 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2394 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2395 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2396 commands until the slave device responds.
2397
2398 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2399
2400 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2401 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2402 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2403
2404 I2C_INIT
2405
2406 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2407 controller or configure ports.
2408
2409 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2410
2411 I2C_PORT
2412
2413 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2414 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2415 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2416
2417 I2C_ACTIVE
2418
2419 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2420 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2421 define can be null.
2422
2423 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2424
2425 I2C_TRISTATE
2426
2427 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2428 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2429 define can be null.
2430
2431 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2432
2433 I2C_READ
2434
2435 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2436 false if it is low.
2437
2438 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2439
2440 I2C_SDA(bit)
2441
2442 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2443 is false, it clears it (low).
2444
2445 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2446 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2447 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2448
2449 I2C_SCL(bit)
2450
2451 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2452 is false, it clears it (low).
2453
2454 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2455 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2456 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2457
2458 I2C_DELAY
2459
2460 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2461 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2462 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2463 like:
2464
2465 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2466
2467 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2468
2469 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2470 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2471 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2472 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2473
2474 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2475 the generic GPIO functions.
2476
2477 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2478
2479 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2480 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2481 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2482 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2483 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2484 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2485 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2486 is run early in the boot sequence.
2487
2488 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2489
2490 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2491 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2492 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2493 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2494 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2495 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2496 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2497 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2498
2499 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2500
2501 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2502 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2503 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2504
2505 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2506
2507 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2508 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2509 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2510 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2511
2512 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2513
2514 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2515 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2516 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2517 a 1D array of device addresses
2518
2519 e.g.
2520 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2521 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2522
2523 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2524
2525 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2526 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2527
2528 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2529
2530 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2531
2532 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2533 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2534
2535 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2536
2537 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2538 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2539
2540 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2541
2542 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2543 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2544
2545 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2546
2547 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2548 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2549 specified DTT device.
2550
2551 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2552
2553 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2554 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2555 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2556 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2557 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2558 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2559 the other.
2560
2561 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2562
2563 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2564 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2565 D/As on the SACSng board)
2566
2567 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2568
2569 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2570 only SH7757 is supported.
2571
2572 CONFIG_SPI_X
2573
2574 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2575 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2576
2577 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2578
2579 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2580 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2581 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2582 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2583 defined, the board configuration must define several
2584 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2585 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2586
2587 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2588
2589 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2590 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2591 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2592 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2593 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2594
2595 CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2596
2597 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2598 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2599
2600 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2601 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2602 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
2603
2604 - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2605
2606 Enables FPGA subsystem.
2607
2608 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2609
2610 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2611 (ALTERA, XILINX)
2612
2613 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2614
2615 Enables support for FPGA family.
2616 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2617
2618 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2619
2620 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2621
2622 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2623
2624 Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2625
2626 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2627
2628 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2629
2630 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2631
2632 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2633 (Xilinx only)
2634
2635 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2636
2637 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2638
2639 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2640
2641 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2642 status by the configuration function. This option
2643 will require a board or device specific function to
2644 be written.
2645
2646 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2647
2648 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2649 configuration driver.
2650
2651 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2652 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2653
2654 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2655
2656 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2657 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2658 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2659 indicated a CRC error).
2660
2661 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2662
2663 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
2664 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
2665 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2666 ms.
2667
2668 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2669
2670 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
2671 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2672
2673 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2674
2675 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2676 200 ms.
2677
2678 - Configuration Management:
2679 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2680
2681 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2682 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2683
2684 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2685
2686 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2687 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2688 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2689 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2690 protects these variables from casual modification by
2691 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2692 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2693 change this behaviour:
2694
2695 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2696 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2697 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2698 these parameters.
2699
2700 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2701 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2702 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2703 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2704 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2705 read-only.]
2706
2707 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2708 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2709 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2710 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2711
2712 - Protected RAM:
2713 CONFIG_PRAM
2714
2715 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2716 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2717 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2718 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2719 this default value by defining an environment
2720 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2721 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2722 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2723 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2724 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2725 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2726 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2727
2728 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2729 saveenv
2730
2731 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2732 either, which results in a memory region that will
2733 not be affected by reboots.
2734
2735 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2736 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2737 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2738 following board configurations are known to be
2739 "pRAM-clean":
2740
2741 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2742 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2743 FLAGADM, TQM8260
2744
2745 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2746 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2747 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2748 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2749 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2750 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2751 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2752
2753 - Error Recovery:
2754 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2755
2756 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2757 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2758 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2759 system where you want the system to reboot
2760 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2761 useful during development since you can try to debug
2762 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2763
2764 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2765
2766 This variable defines the number of retries for
2767 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2768 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2769 default value of 5 is used.
2770
2771 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2772
2773 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2774
2775 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2776
2777 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2778 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2779 try longer timeout such as
2780 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2781
2782 - Command Interpreter:
2783 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2784
2785 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2786
2787 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2788 for the "hush" shell.
2789
2790
2791 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
2792
2793 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2794 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2795 powerful command line syntax like
2796 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2797 constructs ("shell scripts").
2798
2799 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2800 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2801
2802
2803 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2804
2805 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2806 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2807 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2808
2809 Note:
2810
2811 In the current implementation, the local variables
2812 space and global environment variables space are
2813 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2814 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2815 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2816 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2817 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2818
2819 Global environment variables are those you use
2820 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2821 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2822 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2823
2824 To store commands and special characters in a
2825 variable, please use double quotation marks
2826 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2827 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2828 symbols.
2829
2830 - Commandline Editing and History:
2831 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2832
2833 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2834 commandline input operations
2835
2836 - Default Environment:
2837 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2838
2839 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2840 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2841 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2842
2843 For example, place something like this in your
2844 board's config file:
2845
2846 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2847 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2848 "myvar2=value2\0"
2849
2850 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2851 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2852 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2853 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2854 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2855 You better know what you are doing here.
2856
2857 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2858 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2859 the environment like the "source" command or the
2860 boot command first.
2861
2862 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2863
2864 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2865 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2866 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2867
2868 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2869
2870 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2871 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2872 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2873 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2874 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2875
2876 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2877
2878 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2879 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2880 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2881
2882 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2883
2884 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2885 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2886 that so that the environment is not available until
2887 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2888 this is instead controlled by the value of
2889 /config/load-environment.
2890
2891 - DataFlash Support:
2892 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2893
2894 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2895 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2896 commands cp, md...
2897
2898 - Serial Flash support
2899 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2900
2901 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2902 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2903
2904 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2905 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2906 commands.
2907
2908 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2909 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2910 flash is present on the system.
2911
2912 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2913 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2914 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2915 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2916
2917 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2918
2919 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2920 test ('sf test').
2921
2922 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2923
2924 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2925 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2926
2927 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2928
2929 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2930 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2931 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2932
2933 - SystemACE Support:
2934 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2935
2936 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2937 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2938 of the chip must also be defined in the
2939 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2940
2941 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2942 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2943
2944 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2945 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2946
2947 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2948 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2949
2950 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2951 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2952 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2953 number generator is used.
2954
2955 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2956 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2957 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2958
2959 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2960 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2961 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2962 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2963 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2964 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2965 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2966
2967 - Hashing support:
2968 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2969
2970 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2971 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2972
2973 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2974
2975 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2976 size a little.
2977
2978 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2979 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2980
2981 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2982 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2983
2984 - Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2985 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2986 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2987 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2988
2989 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2990 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2991 a boot from specific media.
2992
2993 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2994 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2995 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2996 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2997 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2998
2999 - Signing support:
3000 CONFIG_RSA
3001
3002 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
3003 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
3004
3005 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3006 option.
3007
3008 - bootcount support:
3009 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3010
3011 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3012 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3013
3014 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3015 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3016 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3017 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3018 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3019 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3020 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3021 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3022 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3023 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3024 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3025 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3026 the bootcounter.
3027 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3028
3029 - Show boot progress:
3030 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3031
3032 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3033 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3034 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3035 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3036 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3037 the following checkpoints are implemented:
3038
3039 - Detailed boot stage timing
3040 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3041 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3042 of the boot process.
3043
3044 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3045 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3046 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3047 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3048 the limit, recording will stop.
3049
3050 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3051 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3052
3053 Timer summary in microseconds:
3054 Mark Elapsed Stage
3055 0 0 reset
3056 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3057 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
3058 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
3059 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
3060 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
3061 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3062 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3063
3064 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3065 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3066 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3067
3068 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3069 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3070 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3071 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3072 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3073 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3074 For example:
3075
3076 bootstage {
3077 154 {
3078 name = "board_init_f";
3079 mark = <3575678>;
3080 };
3081 170 {
3082 name = "lcd";
3083 accum = <33482>;
3084 };
3085 };
3086
3087 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3242 - legacy image format:
3243 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3244 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3245
3246 Default:
3247 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3248
3249 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3250 disable the legacy image format
3251
3252 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3253 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3254
3255 - FIT image support:
3256 CONFIG_FIT
3257 Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
3258
3259 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3260 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3261 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3262 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3263 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3264 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3265
3266 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3267 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3268 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See
3269 doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3270
3271 WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
3272 signature check the legacy image format is default
3273 disabled. If a board need legacy image format support
3274 enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3275
3276 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3277 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3278 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3279 with this option.
3280
3281 - Standalone program support:
3282 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3283
3284 This option defines a board specific value for the
3285 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3286 overwriting the architecture dependent default
3287 settings.
3288
3289 - Frame Buffer Address:
3290 CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3291
3292 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3293 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3294 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3295 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3296 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3297 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3298 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3299 configured panel size.
3300
3301 Please see board_init_f function.
3302
3303 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3304 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3305 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX

3323 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3324
3325 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3326 with the UBI flash translation layer
3327
3328 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3329
3330 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3331
3332 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3333 warnings and errors enabled.
3334
3335 - UBIFS support
3336 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3337
3338 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3339 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3340
3341 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3342
3343 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3344
3345 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3346 warnings and errors enabled.

3576 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3577
3578 Modem Support:
3579 --------------
3580
3581 [so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
3582
3583 - Modem support enable:
3584 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3585
3586 - RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3587 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3588
3589 - Modem debug support:
3590 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3591
3592 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3593 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
3594
3595 - Interrupt support (PPC):
3596
3597 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3598 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3599 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3600 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3601 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3602 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3603 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3604 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3605 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3606 general timer_interrupt().
3607
3608 - General:
3609
3610 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3611 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3612 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3613 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3614 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3615 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3616 initialization.
3617
3618 If there are no modem init strings in the
3619 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3620 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3621 suppressed, though.
3622
3623 See also: doc/README.Modem
3624
3625 Board initialization settings:
3626 ------------------------------
3627
3628 During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3629 to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3630 before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3631 following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3632 architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3633 typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3634
3635 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3636 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3637 - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3638 - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

3678 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3679
3680 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE

3682
3683 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3684 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3685 simple memory test.
3686
3687 - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3688 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3689
3690 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3691 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3692 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3693
3694 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3695 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3696 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3697 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3698 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3699 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3700 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3701 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3702 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3703 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3704
3705 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3706 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3707 be touched.
3708
3709 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3710 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3711 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3712 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3713 problems.
3714
3715 - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3716 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3717
3718 - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3719 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3720
3721 - CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3722 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3723 Cogent motherboard)
3724
3725 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3726 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3727
3728 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3729 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3730 make config files to be same as the text base address
3731 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3732 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3733
3734 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3735 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3736 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3737 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3738 flash sector.
3739
3740 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3741 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3742
3743 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3744 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3745 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3746 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3747 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3748 space.
3749
3750 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3751 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3752 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3753 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3754 U-Boot relocates itself.
3755
3756 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on sandbox
3757 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3758
3759 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM at present
3760 but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3761
3762 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3763 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3764 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3765 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3766 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3767
3768 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3769 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3770 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3771 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3772 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3773 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3774 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3775 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
3776 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3777 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3778 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3779
3780 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3781 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3782 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3783 is enabled.
3784
3785 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3786 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3787 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3788
3789 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3790 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3791 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3792
3793 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3794 Max number of Flash memory banks
3795
3796 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3797 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3798
3799 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3800 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3801
3802 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3803 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3804
3805 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3806 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3807
3808 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3809 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3810
3811 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3812 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3813 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3814
3815 - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3816
3817 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3818 without this option such a download has to be
3819 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3820 copy from RAM to flash.
3821
3822 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3823 you can check if the download worked before you erase
3824 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3825 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3826 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3827
3828 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3829 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3830 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3831
3832 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3833 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3834 in the drivers directory
3835
3836 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3837 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3838 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3839 to the MTD layer.
3840
3841 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3842 Use buffered writes to flash.
3843
3844 - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3845 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3846 write commands.
3847
3848 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3849 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3850 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3851 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3852 optionally available.
3853
3854 - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3855 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3856 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3857 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3858
3859 - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3860 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3861 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3862 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3863 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3864 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3865 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3866 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3867
3868 - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3869 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3870 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3871 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3872 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3873 on high Ethernet traffic.
3874 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3875
3876 - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3877
3878 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3879 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3880 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3881 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3882 lib/hashtable.c for details.
3883
3884 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3885 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3886 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3887 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3888 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3889 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3890
3891 The format of the list is:
3892 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3893 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]
3894 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute]
3895 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3896 list = entry[,list]
3897
3898 The type attributes are:
3899 s - String (default)
3900 d - Decimal
3901 x - Hexadecimal
3902 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3903 i - IP address
3904 m - MAC address
3905
3906 The access attributes are:
3907 a - Any (default)
3908 r - Read-only
3909 o - Write-once
3910 c - Change-default
3911
3912 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3913 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3914 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3915
3916 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3917 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3918 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3919 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3920 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3921 ".flags" variable.
3922
3923 - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3924 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3925 access flags.
3926
3927 - CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3928 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3929 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3930 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3931 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3932 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3933 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3934 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3935 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3936
3937 - CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3938 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3939 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3940 the value can be calulated on a given board.
3941
3942 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3943 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3944 following configurations:
3945
3946 - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3947
3948 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3949 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3950
3951 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3952
3953 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3954
3955 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3956 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3957 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3958 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3959 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3960 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3961 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3962 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3963 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3964 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3965 between U-Boot and the environment.
3966
3967 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3968
3969 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3970 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3971 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3972 for this sector is given here.
3973
3974 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3975
3976 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3977
3978 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3979 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3980 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3981
3982 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3983
3984 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3985
3986
3987 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3988 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3989 the environment.
3990
3991 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3992
3993 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3994 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3995 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3996 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3997
3998 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3999 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4000 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4001 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4002 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4003 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4004 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4005 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4006 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4007
4008 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4009 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4010
4011 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4012 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4013 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4014 a "saveenv" operation.
4015
4016 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4017 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4018 accordingly!
4019
4020
4021 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4022
4023 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4024 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4025 environment.
4026
4027 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4028 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4029
4030 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4031 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4032 can just be read and written to, without any special
4033 provision.
4034
4035 BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4036 in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4037 console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4038 U-Boot will hang.
4039
4040 Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4041 environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4042 keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4043 to save the current settings.
4044
4045
4046 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4047
4048 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4049 device and a driver for it.
4050
4051 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4052 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4053
4054 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4055 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4056
4057 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4058 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4059 The default address is zero.
4060
4061 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4062 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4063 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4064 would require six bits.
4065
4066 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4067 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4068 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
4069
4070 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4071 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4072 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4073
4074 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4075 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4076 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4077 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4078 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4079 byte chips.
4080
4081 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4082 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4083 in the chip address.
4084
4085 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4086 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4087
4088 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4089 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4090 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4091
4092 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4093 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4094 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4095 EEPROM. For example:
4096
4097 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
4098
4099 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4100 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4101
4102 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4103
4104 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4105 want to use for the environment.
4106
4107 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4108 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4109 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4110
4111 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4112 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4113 at the specified address.
4114
4115 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4116
4117 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4118 want to use for the environment.
4119
4120 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4121 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4122
4123 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4124 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4125 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4126
4127 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4128
4129 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4130
4131 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4132
4133 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4134 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4135 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4136 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4137 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4138
4139 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4140 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4141
4142 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4143
4144 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4145
4146 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4147
4148 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4149
4150 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4151
4152 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4153
4154 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4155 want to use for the local device's environment.
4156
4157 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4158 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4159
4160 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4161 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4162 local device can get the environment from remote memory
4163 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4164
4165 BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4166 "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4167 environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4168 but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4169
4170 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4171
4172 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4173 for the environment.
4174
4175 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4176 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4177
4178 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4179 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4180 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4181
4182 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4183
4184 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4185 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4186 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4187 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4188 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4189
4190 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4191
4192 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4193 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4194 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4195 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4196 the range to be avoided.
4197
4198 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4199
4200 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4201 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4202 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4203 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4204 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4205
4206 - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4207
4208 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4209 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4210 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4211
4212 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4213
4214 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4215 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4216 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4217
4218 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4219
4220 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4221
4222 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4223
4224 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4225 environment in.
4226
4227 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4228
4229 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4230 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4231 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4232
4233 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4234 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4235
4236 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4237 when storing the env in UBI.
4238
4239 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4240 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4241
4242 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4243
4244 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4245
4246 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4247
4248 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4249 be as following:
4250
4251 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4252 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4253 partition table.
4254 - "D:0": device D.
4255 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4256 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4257 table.
4258 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4259 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4260 partition table then means device D.
4261
4262 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4263
4264 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4265 envrionment.
4266
4267 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4268 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4269
4270 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4271
4272 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4273 environment.
4274
4275 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4276
4277 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4278
4279 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4280
4281 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4282 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4283 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4284
4285 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4286 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4287
4288 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4289 area within the specified MMC device.
4290
4291 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4292 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4293 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4294 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4295 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4296 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4297 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4298
4299 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4300 MMC sector boundary.
4301
4302 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4303
4304 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4305 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4306 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4307 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4308
4309 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4310 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4311
4312 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4313 an MMC sector boundary.
4314
4315 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4316
4317 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4318 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4319 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4320
4321 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4322
4323 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4324 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4325 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4326 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4327 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4328 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4329 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4330
4331 Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4332 has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4333 created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4334 until then to read environment variables.
4335
4336 The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4337 is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4338 with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4339 necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4340 "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4341 have any device yet where we could complain.]
4342
4343 Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4344 the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4345 use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4346
4347 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4348 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4349
4350 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4351 also needs to be defined.
4352
4353 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4354 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4355
4356 - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4357 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4358 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4359 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4360 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4361 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4362
4363 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4364 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4365 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4366 to do this.
4367
4368 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4369 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4370 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4371 present.
4372
4373 Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4374 ---------------------------------------------------
4375
4376 - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4377 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4378
4379 - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4380 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4381
4382 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4383 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4384 the IMMR register after a reset.
4385
4386 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4387 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4388 PowerPC SOCs.
4389
4390 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4391 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4392 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4393
4394 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4395 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4396
4397 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4398 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4399 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
4400 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
4401 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4402 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4403 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4404
4405 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4406 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4407
4408 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4409 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4410 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
4411 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4412 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4413
4414 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4415 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4416 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4417 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4418
4419 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4420 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4421 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4422
4423 - Floppy Disk Support:
4424 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4425
4426 the default drive number (default value 0)
4427
4428 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4429
4430 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4431 (default value 1)
4432
4433 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4434
4435 defines the offset of register from address. It
4436 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4437 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4438
4439 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4440 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4441 default value.
4442
4443 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4444 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4445 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4446 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
4447 initializations.
4448
4449 - CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4450 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4451 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4452 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4453 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4454 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4455 is requierd.
4456
4457 - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4458 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4459 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4460
4461 - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4462
4463 Start address of memory area that can be used for
4464 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4465 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4466 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4467 will become available only after programming the
4468 memory controller and running certain initialization
4469 sequences.
4470
4471 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4472 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4473 - MPC824X: data cache
4474 - PPC4xx: data cache
4475
4476 - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4477
4478 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4479 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4480 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4481 data is located at the end of the available space
4482 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4483 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4484 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4485 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4486
4487 Note:
4488 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4489 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4490 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4491 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4492 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
4493

4539 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4540 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
4541
4542 - CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
4543 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
4544 wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4545 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4546
4547 - CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4548 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4549 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4550 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp.

4561 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4562
4563 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4564 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4565 required.
4566
4567 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4568 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses.
4569 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4570 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4571 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4572 by coreboot or similar.
4573
4574 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4575 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4576

4593 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4594
4595 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
4596 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4597
4598 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4599 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4600 a 16 bit bus.
4601 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4602 Example of drivers that use it:
4603 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4604 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4605
4606 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4607 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4608 a default value will be used.
4609
4610 - CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
4611 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4612 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4613
4614 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4615 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4616
4617 - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4618 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4619 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4620 to something your driver can deal with.
4621
4622 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4623 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4624 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4625 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4626 header files or board specific files.
4627
4628 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4629 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4630
4631 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4632 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4633 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4634
4635 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4636 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4637
4638 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4639 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4640 to the given FEC; i. e.
4641 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4642 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4643
4644 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4645
4646 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4647 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4648 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4649
4650 - CONFIG_RMII
4651 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4652 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4653 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4654
4655 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4656 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4657 The syntax is:
4658
4659 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4660
4661 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4662 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4663 area should have.
4664
4665 - CONFIG_LOOPW
4666 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4667 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4668
4669 - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4670 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4671 "md/mw" commands.
4672 Examples:
4673
4674 => mdc.b 10 4 500
4675 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4676
4677 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4678 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4679
4680 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4681 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4682
4683 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4684 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4685 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4686 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4687 relocate itself into RAM.
4688
4689 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4690 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4691 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4692 these initializations itself.
4693
4694 - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4695 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4696 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4697 compiling a NAND SPL.
4698
4699 - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4700 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4701 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4702 It is loaded by the SPL.
4703
4704 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4705 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4706 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4707 previous 4k of the .text section.
4708
4709 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4710 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4711 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4712 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4713 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4714 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4715 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4716 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4717
4718 - CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4719 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4720 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4721 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4722 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4723
4724 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4725 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4726 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4727
4728 - CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4729 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4730
4731 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4732
4733 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4734 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4735
4736 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4737 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4738 driver that uses this:
4739 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4740
4741 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4742 -----------------------------------
4743
4744 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4745 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4746 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4747 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4748 within that device.
4749
4750 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4751 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4752 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4753 is also specified.
4754
4755 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4756 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4757 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4758 is also specified.
4759
4760 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4761 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4762 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4763 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4764 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4765
4766 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4767 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4768 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4769 virtual address in NOR flash.
4770
4771 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4772 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4773 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4774
4775 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4776 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4777 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4778
4779 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4780 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4781 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4782
4783 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4784 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4785 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4786 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4787 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4788 master's memory space.
4789
4790 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4791 ---------------------------------------------------------
4792 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4793 "firmware".
4794 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4795 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4796 within that device.
4797
4798 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4799 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4800
4801 - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4802 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4803 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4804 is also specified.
4805
4806 - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4807 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4808 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4809 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4810 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4811
4812 - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4813 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4814 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4815 virtual address in NOR flash.
4816
4817 Building the Software:
4818 ======================
4819
4820 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4821 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4822 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4823 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4824 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4825 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4826
4827 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4828 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4829 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4830 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4831 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4832
4833 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4834 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
4835
4836 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4837 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4838 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4839 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4840
4841 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4842
4843 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4844 be executed on computers running Windows.
4845
4846 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4847 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4848 is done by typing:
4849
4850 make NAME_defconfig
4851
4852 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4853 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4854
4855 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4856 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4857 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4858 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4859 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4860
4861 make TQM823L_defconfig
4862 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4863
4864 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4865 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4866
4867 etc.
4868
4869
4870 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4871 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4872
4873 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4874 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4875 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4876
4877 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4878 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4879 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4880
4881 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4882
4883 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4884 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4885 make O=/tmp/build all
4886
4887 2. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4888
4889 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4890 make distclean
4891 make NAME_defconfig
4892 make all
4893
4894 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4895 variable.
4896
4897
4898 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4899 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4900 native "make".
4901
4902
4903 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4904 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4905 steps:
4906
4907 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4908 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4909 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
4910 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4911 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4912 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
4913 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4914 your board
4915 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4916 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
4917 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
4918 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4919 to be installed on your target system.
4920 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4921 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4922
4923
4924 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4925 ==============================================================
4926
4927 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4928 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4929 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4930 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4931 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4932
4933 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4934 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4935 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4936 just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
4937 for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4938 select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4939 environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4940 you can type
4941
4942 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4943
4944 or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4945
4946 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4947
4948 When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4949 U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4950 setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4951 built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4952 <target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4953 location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4954 variable. For example:
4955
4956 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4957 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4958 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4959
4960 With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4961 log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4962 during the whole build process.

5017 Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
5018 ========================================
5019
5020 TODO.
5021
5022 For now: just type "help <command>".
5023
5024
5025 Environment Variables:
5026 ======================
5027
5028 U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5029 can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5030
5031 Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5032 "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5033 without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5034 environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5035 working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5036 environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5037
5038 Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5039
5040 List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5041
5042 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5043
5044 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5045
5046 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5047
5048 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5049
5050 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
5051
5052 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5053 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5054 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5055 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5056 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5057 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5058 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5059 bootm_mapsize.
5060
5061 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5062 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5063 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5064 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5065 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5066 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5067 used otherwise.
5068
5069 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5070 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5071 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5072 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5073 environment variable.
5074
5075 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5076 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5077 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5078
5079 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5080 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5081 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5082 load any image using TFTP
5083
5084 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5085 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5086 be automatically started (by internally calling
5087 "bootm")
5088
5089 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5090 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5091 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5092 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5093 data.
5094
5095 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5096 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5097 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5098 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5099 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5100 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5101 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5102 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5103 access it during the boot procedure.
5104
5105 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5106 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5107 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5108 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5109 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5110 must be accessible by the kernel.
5111
5112 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5113 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5114 defined.
5115
5116 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5117 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5118 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5119 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5120 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5121
5122 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5123 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5124 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5125 is usually what you want since it allows for
5126 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5127 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5128 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5129 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5130 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5131 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5132 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5133
5134 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5135 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5136 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5137 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5138 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5139 12 MB as well - this can be done with
5140
5141 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5142
5143 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5144 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5145 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5146 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5147 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5148 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5149 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5150
5151 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5152
5153 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5154 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5155
5156 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5157
5158 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5159
5160 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5161
5162 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5163
5164 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5165
5166 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
5167
5168 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5169 For example you can do the following
5170
5171 => setenv ethact FEC
5172 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5173 => setenv ethact SCC
5174 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5175
5176 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5177 available network interfaces.
5178 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5179
5180 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
5181 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5182 When set to "once" the network operation will
5183 fail when all the available network interfaces
5184 are tried once without success.
5185 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5186 themselves.
5187
5188 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
5189
5190 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5191 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5192 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5193 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5194 is silent.
5195
5196 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5197 UDP source port.
5198
5199 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5200 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5201
5202 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5203 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5204
5205 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5206 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5207 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5208 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5209 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5210 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5211 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5212
5213 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5214 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5215 VLAN tagged frames.
5216
5217 The following image location variables contain the location of images
5218 used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5219 not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5220 variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5221 server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5222 loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5223 flash or offset in NAND flash.
5224
5225 *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5226 boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5227 boards use these variables for other purposes.
5228
5229 Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
5230 ----- --------- ----------- --------------
5231 u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
5232 Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
5233 device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
5234 ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
5235
5236 The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5237 updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5238 depending the information provided by your boot server:
5239
5240 bootfile - see above
5241 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5242 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5243 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5244 hostname - Target hostname
5245 ipaddr - see above
5246 netmask - Subnet Mask
5247 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5248 serverip - see above
5249
5250
5251 There are two special Environment Variables:
5252
5253 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5254 as type string and/or serial number
5255 ethaddr - Ethernet address
5256
5257 These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5258 the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5259 once they have been set once.
5260
5261
5262 Further special Environment Variables:
5263
5264 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5265 with the "version" command. This variable is
5266 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5267
5268
5269 Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5270 only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5271
5272
5273 Callback functions for environment variables:
5274 ---------------------------------------------
5275
5276 For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5277 when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5278 be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5279 deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5280 effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5281
5282 The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5283 U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5284
5285 These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5286 static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5287 in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5288 associations. The list must be in the following format:
5289
5290 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5291 list = entry[,list]
5292
5293 If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5294 Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5295
5296 Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5297 with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5298 override any association in the static list. You can define
5299 CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5300 ".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5301
5302
5303 Command Line Parsing:
5304 =====================
5305
5306 There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5307 the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5308
5309 Old, simple command line parser:
5310 --------------------------------
5311
5312 - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5313 - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5314 - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5315 - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5316 for example:
5317 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5318 - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5319 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5320
5321 Hush shell:
5322 -----------
5323
5324 - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5325 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5326 until...do...done, ...
5327 - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5328 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5329 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5330 command
5331
5332 General rules:
5333 --------------
5334
5335 (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5336 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5337 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5338 executed anyway.
5339
5340 (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5341 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5342 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5343 variables are not executed.
5344
5345 Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5346 =======================================
5347
5348 Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5349 such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5350 "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5351
5352 Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5353 MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5354 "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5355
5356 If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5357 in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5358 ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5359 variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5360
5361 o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5362 environment, the SROM's address is used.
5363
5364 o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5365 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5366 used.
5367
5368 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5369 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5370
5371 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5372 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5373 warning is printed.
5374
5375 o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5376 is raised.
5377
5378 If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5379 will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
5380 may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5381 The naming convention is as follows:
5382 "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5383
5384 Image Formats:
5385 ==============
5386
5387 U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5388 images in two formats:
5389
5390 New uImage format (FIT)
5391 -----------------------
5392
5393 Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5394 to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5395 components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5396 SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5397
5398
5399 Old uImage format
5400 -----------------
5401
5402 Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5403 preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5404 details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5405
5406 * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5407 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5408 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5409 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5410 INTEGRITY).
5411 * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5412 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5413 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5414 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5415 * Load Address
5416 * Entry Point
5417 * Image Name
5418 * Image Timestamp
5419
5420 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5421 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5422 CRC32 checksums.
5423
5424
5425 Linux Support:
5426 ==============
5427
5428 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5429 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5430 U-Boot.
5431
5432 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5433 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5434 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5435 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5436 serves several purposes:
5437
5438 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5439 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5440 Flash memory footprint)
5441
5442 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5443 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5444
5445 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5446 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5447 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5448 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5449 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5450 software is easier now.
5451
5452
5453 Linux HOWTO:
5454 ============
5455
5456 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5457 ---------------------------------------
5458
5459 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5460 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5461 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5462 Linux :-).
5463
5464 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5465
5466 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5467 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5468 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5469 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5470 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5471
5472 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5473 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5474 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5475 doc/driver-model.
5476
5477
5478 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5479 -----------------------------
5480
5481 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5482 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5483
5484
5485 Building a Linux Image:
5486 -----------------------
5487
5488 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5489 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5490 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5491 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5492 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5493 100% compatible format.
5494
5495 Example:
5496
5497 make TQM850L_defconfig
5498 make oldconfig
5499 make dep
5500 make uImage
5501
5502 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5503 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5504 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5505
5506 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5507
5508 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5509
5510 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5511 -R .note -R .comment \
5512 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5513
5514 * compress the binary image:
5515
5516 gzip -9 linux.bin
5517
5518 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5519
5520 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5521 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5522 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5523
5524
5525 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5526 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5527 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5528 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5529 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5530 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5531
5532 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5533 print the header information, or to build new images.
5534
5535 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5536 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5537 checksum verification:
5538
5539 tools/mkimage -l image
5540 -l ==> list image header information
5541
5542 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5543 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5544
5545 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5546 -n name -d data_file image
5547 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5548 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5549 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5550 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5551 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5552 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5553 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5554 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5555
5556 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5557 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5558 kernel version:
5559
5560 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5561 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5562
5563 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5564
5565 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5566 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5567 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5568 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5569 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5570 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5571 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5572 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5573 Load Address: 0x00000000
5574 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5575
5576 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5577
5578 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5579 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5580 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5581 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5582 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5583 Load Address: 0x00000000
5584 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5585
5586 NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5587 speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5588 needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5589 need to be uncompressed:
5590
5591 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5592 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5593 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5594 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5595 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5596 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5597 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5598 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5599 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5600 Load Address: 0x00000000
5601 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5602
5603
5604 Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5605 when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5606
5607 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5608 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5609 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5610 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
5611 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5612 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5613 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5614 Load Address: 0x00000000
5615 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5616
5617 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5618 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5619 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5620 from the image:
5621
5622 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5623 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
5624 indexed by 'position'
5625
5626
5627 Installing a Linux Image:
5628 -------------------------
5629
5630 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5631 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5632
5633 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5634
5635 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5636 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5637 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5638 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5639 command.
5640
5641 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5642 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5643
5644 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5645
5646 .......... done
5647 Erased 8 sectors
5648
5649 => loads 40100000
5650 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5651 ~>examples/image.srec
5652 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...

5655 [file transfer complete]
5656 [connected]
5657 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5658
5659
5660 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5661 this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5662 corruption happened:
5663
5664 => imi 40100000
5665
5666 ## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
5667 Image Name: 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L

5670 Load Address: 00000000
5671 Entry Point: 0000000c
5672 Verifying Checksum ... OK
5673
5674
5675 Boot Linux:
5676 -----------
5677
5678 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5679 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5680 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5681 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5682 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5683
5684
5685 => printenv bootargs
5686 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5687
5688 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5689
5690 => printenv bootargs
5691 bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5759 -----------
5760
5761 First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
5762 titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
5763 following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
5764 flat device tree:

5807 More About U-Boot Image Types:
5808 ------------------------------
5809
5810 U-Boot supports the following image types:
5811
5812 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5813 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5814 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5815 the Standalone Program.
5816 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5817 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5818 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5819 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5820 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5821 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5822 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5823 being started.
5824 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5825 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5826 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5827 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5828 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5829 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5830
5831 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5832 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5833 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5834 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5835 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5836 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5837
5838 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5839 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5840 flash memory.
5841
5842 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5843 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5844 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5845 as command interpreter.
5846
5847 Booting the Linux zImage:
5848 -------------------------
5849
5850 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5851 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5852 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5853
5854 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5855 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5856 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5857 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5858
5859
5860 Standalone HOWTO:
5861 =================
5862
5863 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5864 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5865 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5866
5867 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5868
5869 "Hello World" Demo:
5870 -------------------
5871
5872 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5873 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5874 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5875 like that:
5876
5877 => loads
5878 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5879 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
5880 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5881 [file transfer complete]
5882 [connected]
5883 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5884
5885 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5886 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5887 Hello World
5888 argc = 7
5889 argv[0] = "40004"
5890 argv[1] = "Hello"
5891 argv[2] = "World!"
5892 argv[3] = "This"
5893 argv[4] = "is"
5894 argv[5] = "a"
5895 argv[6] = "test."
5896 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5897 Hit any key to exit ...
5898
5899 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5900
5901 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5902 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5903 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5904 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5905 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5906 controlled by the following keys:
5907
5908 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5909 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5910 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5911 q - quit application
5912

5948 Minicom warning:
5949 ================
5950
5951 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5952 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5953 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5954 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5955 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5956 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5957 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5958 for help with kermit.
5959
5960
5961 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5962 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5963
5964 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5965 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
5966 Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
5967
5968
5969 NetBSD Notes:
5970 =============
5971
5972 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5973 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5974
5975 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5976 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5977 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5978 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5979 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5980 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5981
5982 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5983 # mkdir powerpc
5984 # ln -s powerpc machine
5985 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5986 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5987
5988 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5989 and U-Boot include files.
5990
5991 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5992 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5993 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5994 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5995 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5996
5997
5998 Implementation Internals:
5999 =========================
6000
6001 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6002 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6003 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6004 hardware.
6005
6006
6007 Initial Stack, Global Data:
6008 ---------------------------
6009
6010 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6011 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6012 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6013 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6014 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6015 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6016 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6017 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6018 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6019 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6020
6021 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6022 U-Boot mailing list:
6023
6024 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6025 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>

6027 ...
6028
6029 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6030 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6031 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6032 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6033 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6034 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6035 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6036 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6037
6038 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6039 is another option for the system designer to use as an
6040 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6041 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6042 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6043 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6044 used.
6045
6046 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6047 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6048 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6049 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6050 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6051 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6052 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6053 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6054 you get the config right.

6058
6059 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6060 code for the initialization procedures:
6061
6062 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6063 to write it.
6064
6065 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
6066 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6067 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6068
6069 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6070 that.
6071
6072 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6073 normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6074 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6075 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6076 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6077 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6078 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6079 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6080 reserve for this purpose.
6081
6082 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6083 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6084 GCC's implementation.
6085
6086 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6087 R1: stack pointer
6088 R2: reserved for system use
6089 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6090 R5-R10: parameter passing
6091 R13: small data area pointer
6092 R30: GOT pointer
6093 R31: frame pointer
6094
6095 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6096 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6097 going back and forth between asm and C)
6098
6099 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6100
6101 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6102 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6103 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6104 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6105 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6106 624 text + 127 data).
6107
6108 On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6109 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6110
6111 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6112
6113 On ARM, the following registers are used:
6114
6115 R0: function argument word/integer result
6116 R1-R3: function argument word
6117 R9: platform specific
6118 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6119 R11: argument (frame) pointer
6120 R12: temporary workspace
6121 R13: stack pointer
6122 R14: link register
6123 R15: program counter
6124
6125 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6126
6127 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6128
6129 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6130 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6131
6132 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6133
6134 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6135 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6136
6137 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6138
6139 R0-R1: argument/return
6140 R2-R5: argument
6141 R15: temporary register for assembler
6142 R16: trampoline register
6143 R28: frame pointer (FP)
6144 R29: global pointer (GP)
6145 R30: link register (LP)
6146 R31: stack pointer (SP)
6147 PC: program counter (PC)
6148
6149 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6150
6151 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6152 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6153
6154 Memory Management:
6155 ------------------
6156
6157 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6158 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6159
6160 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6161 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6162 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6163 physical memory banks.
6164
6165 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6166 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6167 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6168 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6169 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6170 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6171 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6172
6173 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6174 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6175
6176 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6177 this:
6178
6179 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6180 :
6181 0x0000 1FFF
6182 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6183 :
6184 :
6185
6186 :
6187 :
6188 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6189 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6190 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6191 :
6192 0x00FD FFFF
6193 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6194 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6195 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6196 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6197
6198
6199 System Initialization:
6200 ----------------------
6201
6202 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6203 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6204 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6205 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6206 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6207 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6208 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6209 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6210 the caches and the SIU.
6211
6212 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6213 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6214 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6215 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6216 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6217 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6218 banks.
6219
6220 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6221 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6222 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
6223 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6224 contiguous memory starting from 0.
6225
6226 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6227 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6228 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6229 pages, and the final stack is set up.
6230
6231 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6232 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6233 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6234 new address in RAM.

6311 Coding Standards:
6312 -----------------
6313
6314 All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6315 coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6316 "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6317
6318 Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6319 MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6320 reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6321 sources.
6322
6323 Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6324 Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6325 in your code.
6326
6327 Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6328 - remove any trailing white space
6329 - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6330 - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6331 - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6332 - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6333
6334 Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6335 with a request to reformat the changes.
6336
6337
6338 Submitting Patches:
6339 -------------------
6340
6341 Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6342 establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6343 may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6344
6345 Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6346
6347 Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6348 see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6349
6350 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6351 it:
6352
6353 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6354 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6355 patch actually fixes something.
6356
6357 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
6358 implementation.
6359
6360 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6361
6362 * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6363
6364 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6365 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6366
6367 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6368 document these in the README file.
6369
6370 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6371 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6372 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6373 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6374 with some other mail clients.
6375
6376 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6377 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6378 GNU diff.
6379
6380 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6381 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6382 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6383 affected files).
6384
6385 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6386 and compressed attachments must not be used.
6387
6388 * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6389 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6390
6391 * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6392 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6393
6394
6395 Notes:
6396
6397 * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6398 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6399 for any of the boards.
6400
6401 * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6402 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6403 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6404
6405 * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6406 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6407 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6408 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6409 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6410 modification.
6411
6412 * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6413 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6414 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6415 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
