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

225 Software Configuration:
226 =======================
227
228 Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
229 rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
230
231 There are two classes of configuration variables:
232
233 * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
235 "CONFIG_".
236
237 * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
240 "CONFIG_SYS_".
241
242 Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
243 identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
244 do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
245 links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
246 as an example here.
247
248
249 Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
250 ---------------------------------------------------
251
252 For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
253 configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
254
255 Example: For a TQM823L module type:
256
257 cd u-boot
258 make TQM823L_defconfig
259
260 For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
261 e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
262 directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
263
264
265 Sandbox Environment:
266 --------------------
267
268 U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
269 board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
270 specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
271 run some of U-Boot's tests.
272
273 See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
274
275
276 Board Initialisation Flow:
277 --------------------------
278
279 This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
280 SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL
281 mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each
282 function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this.
283 At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
284
285 Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after
286 that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below.
287
288 lowlevel_init():
289 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
290 - no global_data or BSS
291 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
292 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
293 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
294 board_init_f()
295 - this is almost never needed
296 - return normally from this function
297
298 board_init_f():
299 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
300 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
301 - global_data is available
302 - stack is in SRAM
303 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
304 only stack variables and global_data
305
306 Non-SPL-specific notes:
307 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
308 can do nothing
309
310 SPL-specific notes:
311 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
312 version as needed.
313 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
314 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
315 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
316 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
317 directly)
318
319 Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
320 this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
321 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
322 memory.
323
324 board_init_r():
325 - purpose: main execution, common code
326 - global_data is available
327 - SDRAM is available
328 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
329 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
330
331 Non-SPL-specific notes:
332 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
333 there.
334
335 SPL-specific notes:
336 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
337 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
338 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
339 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
340 spl_board_init() function containing this call
341 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
342
343
344
345 Configuration Options:
346 ----------------------
347
348 Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
349 such information is kept in a configuration file
350 "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
351
352 Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
353 "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
354
355
356 Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
357 kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
358 build a config tool - later.
359
360
361 The following options need to be configured:
362
363 - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
364
365 - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
366
367 - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
368 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
369
370 - CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
371 Define exactly one of
372 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
373 --- FIXME --- not tested yet:
374 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
375 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
376
377 - Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
378 Define exactly one of
379 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
380
381 - Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
382 Define one or more of
383 CONFIG_CMA302
384
385 - Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
386 Define one or more of
387 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on
388 the LCD display every second with
389 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
390
391 - Marvell Family Member
392 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
393 multiple fs option at one time
394 for marvell soc family
395
396 - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
397 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
398 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
399 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
400 reference PIT/RTC clock
401 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
402 or XTAL/EXTAL)
403
404 - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
405 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
406 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
407 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
408 See doc/README.MPC866
409
410 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
411
412 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
413 of relying on the correctness of the configured
414 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
415 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
416 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
417 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
418
419 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
420
421 Define this option if you want to enable the
422 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
423
424 - 85xx CPU Options:
425 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
426
427 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
428 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
429 compliance, among other possible reasons.
430
431 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
432
433 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
434 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
435 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
436
437 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
438
439 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
440 tree nodes for the given platform.
441
442 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
443
444 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
445 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
446 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
447 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
448 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
449 purpose.
450
451 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
452
453 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
454 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
455 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
456
457 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
458 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
459
460 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
461 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
462
463 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
464 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
465 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
466 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
467
468 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
469 this erratum.
470
471 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
472 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
473 required during NOR boot.
474
475 CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
476 Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
477 required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
478
479 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
480
481 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
482 according to the A004510 workaround.
483
484 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
485 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
486 connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
487
488 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
489 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
490 which is directly connected to the DSP core.
491
492 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
493 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
494 connected to the DSP core.
495
496 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
497 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
498
499 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
500 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
501 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
502 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
503
504 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
505 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
506 time of U-boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
507
508 CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
509 Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
510 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
511
512 - Generic CPU options:
513 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
514 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
515 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
516 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
517 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
518
519 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
520
521 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
522 values is arch specific.
523
524 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR
525 Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is
526 found in mpc83xx, mpc85xx, mpc86xx as well as some ARM core
527 SoCs.
528
529 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_ADDR
530 Freescale DDR memory-mapped register base.
531
532 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_EMU
533 Specify emulator support for DDR. Some DDR features such as
534 deskew training are not available.
535
536 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDRC_GEN1
537 Freescale DDR1 controller.
538
539 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDRC_GEN2
540 Freescale DDR2 controller.
541
542 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDRC_GEN3
543 Freescale DDR3 controller.
544
545 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDRC_GEN4
546 Freescale DDR4 controller.
547
548 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDRC_ARM_GEN3
549 Freescale DDR3 controller for ARM-based SoCs.
550
551 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR1
552 Board config to use DDR1. It can be enabled for SoCs with
553 Freescale DDR1 or DDR2 controllers, depending on the board
554 implemetation.
555
556 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR2
557 Board config to use DDR2. It can be eanbeld for SoCs with
558 Freescale DDR2 or DDR3 controllers, depending on the board
559 implementation.

599 Physical address from the view of DDR controllers. It is the
600 same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for all Power SoCs. But
601 it could be different for ARM SoCs.
602
603 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B
604 DDR controller interleaving on 256-byte. This is a special
605 interleaving mode, handled by Dickens for Freescale layerscape

619
620 - Intel Monahans options:
621 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
622
623 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
624 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
625 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
626
627 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO

629 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
630 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
631 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
632 by this value.
633
634 - MIPS CPU options:
635 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
636
637 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
638 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
639 relocation.
640
641 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE
642
643 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU.
644 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
645 Possible values are:
646 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
647 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA
648 CONF_CM_UNCACHED
649 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT
650 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE
651 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW
652 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW
653 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED

657 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
658 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
659
660 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
661
662 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
663 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
664 be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
665
666 - ARM options:
667 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
668
669 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
670 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
671
672 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
673
674 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
675 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
676 better code density. For ARM architectures that support
677 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
678 GCC.
679
680 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
681 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
682 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
683 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
684 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
685 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_773022
686 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_774769
687 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
688
689 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
690 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
691 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
692 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
693 set these options unless they apply!
694
695 COUNTER_FREQUENCY
696 Generic timer clock source frequency.
697
698 COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
699 Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
700 different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
701 at run time.
702
703 NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These
704 do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine
705 specific checks, but expect no product checks.
706 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973
707 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179
708 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766
709 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870
710 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_801819
711
712 - Tegra SoC options:
713 CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
714
715 Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
716 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
717 such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
718
719 - Linux Kernel Interface:
720 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
721
722 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
723 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
724 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
725 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
726 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
727 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
728 Linux kernel.
729 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
730 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
731 default environment.
732
733 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
734
735 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
736 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
737 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
738
739 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
740
741 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
742 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
743 concepts).
744
745 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
746 * New libfdt-based support
747 * Adds the "fdt" command
748 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
749
750 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
751 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
752 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
753 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
754 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
755 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
756
757 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
758 addresses
759
760 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
761
762 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
763 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
764
765 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
766
767 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
768 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
769 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
770 the kernel.
771
772 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
773
774 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
775 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
776
777 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
778
779 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
780 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
781 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
782 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
783 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
784 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
785
786 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
787
788 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
789 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
790 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
791 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
792 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
793 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
794 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
795
796 - vxWorks boot parameters:
797
798 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
799 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
800 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
801 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
802
803 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
804 the defaults discussed just above.
805
806 - Cache Configuration:
807 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
808 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
809 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
810
811 - Cache Configuration for ARM:
812 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
813 controller
814 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
815 controller register space
816
817 - Serial Ports:
818 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
819
820 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
821
822 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
823
824 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
825
826 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
827
828 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
829 the clock speed of the UARTs.
830
831 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
832
833 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
834 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
835 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
836
837 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
838
839 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
840 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
841
842 - Console Interface:
843 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
844 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
845 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
846 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
847
848 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
849 port routines must be defined elsewhere
850 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
851
852 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
853 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
854 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
855 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
856 (default big endian)
857 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
858 rectangle fill
859 (cf. smiLynxEM)
860 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
861 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
862 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns
863 (cols=pitch)
864 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows
865 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel
866 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format
867 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
868 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address
869 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct
870 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
871 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct
872 (i.e. i8042_tstc)
873 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
874 (i.e. i8042_getc)
875 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off
876 (requires blink timer
877 cf. i8042.c)
878 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
879 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in
880 upper right corner
881 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
882 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
883 upper left corner
884 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
885 linux_logo.h for logo.
886 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
887 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
888 additional board info beside
889 the logo
890
891 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
892 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
893 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
894
895 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
896 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
897 environment 'console=serial'.
898
899 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
900 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
901 the "silent" environment variable. See
902 doc/README.silent for more information.
903
904 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
905 is 0x00.
906 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
907 is 0xa0.
908
909 - Console Baudrate:
910 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
911 Select one of the baudrates listed in
912 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
913 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
914
915 - Console Rx buffer length
916 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
917 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
918 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
919 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
920 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
921 the SMC.
922
923 - Pre-Console Buffer:
924 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
925 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
926 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
927 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
928 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
929 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
930 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
931 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
932 earlier bytes are discarded.
933
934 Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
935 stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
936
937 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
938 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
939
940 - Safe printf() functions
941 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
942 the printf() functions. These are defined in
943 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
944 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
945 If this option is not given then these functions will
946 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
947 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
948
949 - Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
950 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
951 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
952 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
953 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
954
955 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
956 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
957 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
958 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
959 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
960 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
961 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
962 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
963 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
964 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
965
966 - Autoboot Command:
967 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
968 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
969 define a command string that is automatically executed
970 when no character is read on the console interface
971 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
972
973 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
974 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
975 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
976 environment value "bootargs".
977
978 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
979 The value of these goes into the environment as
980 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
981 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
982 RAM and NFS.
983
984 - Bootcount:
985 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
986 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
987 cycle, see:
988 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
989
990 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
991 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
992 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
993 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
994 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
995 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
996 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
997 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
998 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
999
1000 - Pre-Boot Commands:
1001 CONFIG_PREBOOT
1002
1003 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1004 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1005 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1006 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1007 entering interactive mode.
1008
1009 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1010 automatically generated or modified. For an example
1011 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1012 modified when the user holds down a certain
1013 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1014 booting the systems
1015
1016 - Serial Download Echo Mode:
1017 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1018 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1019 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1020 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1021 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1022 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1023 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1024
1025 - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
1026 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
1027 Select one of the baudrates listed in
1028 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
1029
1030 - Monitor Functions:
1031 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1032 from the build by using the #include files
1033 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
1034 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.
1035
1036 The default command configuration includes all commands
1037 except those marked below with a "*".

1147 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1148 support you can write:
1149
1150 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1151 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1152
1153 Other Commands:
1154 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1155
1156 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1157 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1158 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1159 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1160 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1161 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1162 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1163 initial stack and some data.
1164
1165
1166 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1167
1168 - Regular expression support:
1169 CONFIG_REGEX
1170 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1171 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1172 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1173 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1174
1175 - Device tree:
1176 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1177 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1178 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1179 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1180 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1181 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1182
1183 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1184 be done using one of the two options below:
1185
1186 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1187 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1188 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1189 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1190 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1191 the global data structure as gd->blob.
1192
1193 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1194 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1195 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1196 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1197
1198 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1199
1200 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1201 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1202 still use the individual files if you need something more
1203 exotic.
1204
1205 - Watchdog:
1206 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1207 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1208 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1209 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1210 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1211 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1212 available, then no further board specific code should
1213 be needed to use it.
1214
1215 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1216 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1217 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1218 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1219
1220 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1221 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1222
1223 - U-Boot Version:
1224 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1225 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1226 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1227 version as printed by the "version" command.
1228 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1229 next reset.
1230
1231 - Real-Time Clock:
1232
1233 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1234 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1235 following options:
1236
1237 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1238 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1239 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1240 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1241 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1242 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1243 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1244 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1245 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
1246 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1247 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1248 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1249 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1250 RV3029 RTC.
1251
1252 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1253 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1254
1255 - GPIO Support:
1256 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1257
1258 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1259 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1260 pins supported by a particular chip.
1261
1262 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1263 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1264
1265 - I/O tracing:
1266 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1267 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1268 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1269 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1270 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1271 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1272 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1273 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1274
1275 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1276 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1277 still continue to operate.
1278
1279 iotrace is enabled
1280 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1281 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1282 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1283 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1284 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1285 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1286
1287 - Timestamp Support:
1288
1289 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1290 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1291 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1292 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1293
1294 - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1295 Zero or more of the following:
1296 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1297 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1298 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1299 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1300 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1301 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1302 disk/part_efi.c
1303 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
1304
1305 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1306 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1307 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1308
1309 - IDE Reset method:
1310 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1311 board configurations files but used nowhere!
1312
1313 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1314 be performed by calling the function
1315 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1316 which has to be defined in a board specific file
1317
1318 - ATAPI Support:
1319 CONFIG_ATAPI
1320
1321 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1322
1323 - LBA48 Support
1324 CONFIG_LBA48
1325
1326 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1327 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1328 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1329 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1330
1331 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1332 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1333 Default is 32bit.
1334
1335 - SCSI Support:
1336 At the moment only there is only support for the
1337 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1338 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1339
1340 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1341 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1342 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1343 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1344 devices.
1345 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1346
1347 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1348 SCSI devices found during the last scan.
1349
1350 - NETWORK Support (PCI):
1351 CONFIG_E1000
1352 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1353
1354 CONFIG_E1000_SPI
1355 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1356 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1357 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1358
1359 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1360 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for

1432 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1433 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1434 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1435 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1436 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1437 control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1438 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
1439

1495 Add tpm monitor functions.
1496 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also
1497 provides monitor access to authorized functions.
1498
1499 CONFIG_TPM
1500 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides
1501 functional interfaces to some TPM commands.
1502 Requires support for a TPM device.
1503
1504 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS
1505 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.

1511 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1512 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1513 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1514 storage devices.
1515 Note:
1516 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1517 (TEAC FD-05PUB).
1518 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1519 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK
1520 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb
1521 CONFIG_PSC3_USB
1522 for USB on PSC3

1535 CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2
1536 HW module registers.
1537
1538 - USB Device:
1539 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1540 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1541 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1542 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1543 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1544 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1545 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1546 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1547 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1548 a Linux host by
1549 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1550 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1551 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1552 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1553
1554 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1555 Define this to build a UDC device
1556
1557 CONFIG_USB_TTY
1558 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1559 talk to the UDC device
1560
1561 CONFIG_USBD_HS
1562 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1563 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1564 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1565 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1566 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1567 speed.
1568
1569 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1570 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1571 be set to usbtty.
1572
1573 mpc8xx:
1574 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1575 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1576 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1577
1578 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
1579 Derive USB clock from brgclk
1580 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
1581
1582 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1583 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1584 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1585 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1586 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1587 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1588
1589 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1590 Define this string as the name of your company for
1591 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1592
1593 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1594 Define this string as the name of your product
1595 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1596
1597 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1598 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1599 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1600 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1601 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1602
1603 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1604 Define this as the unique Product ID
1605 for your device
1606 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1607
1608 - ULPI Layer Support:
1609 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1610 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1611 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1612 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1613 viewport is supported.
1614 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1615 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1616 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1617 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1618 the appropriate value in Hz.
1619
1620 - MMC Support:
1621 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1622 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1623 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1624 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1625 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1626 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1627
1628 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1629 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1630
1631 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1632 Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1633
1634 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1635 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1636
1637 CONFIG_GENERIC_MMC
1638 Enable the generic MMC driver
1639
1640 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1641 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1642
1643 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1644 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1645 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1646
1647 - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1648 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1649 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1650
1651 CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1652 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1653 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1654 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1655 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1656
1657 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1658 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1659
1660 CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1661 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1662
1663 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1664 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1665 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1666 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1667 one that would help mostly the developer.
1668
1669 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1670 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1671 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1672 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1673 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1674
1675 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1676 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1677 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1678 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1679 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1680 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1681
1682 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1683 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1684 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1685 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1686
1687 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1688 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1689 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1690 sending again an USB request to the device.
1691
1692 - USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1693 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1694 This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1695
1696 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1697 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1698 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1699 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1700 used on Android devices.
1701 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1702
1703 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1704 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1705 image format header.
1706
1707 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1708 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1709 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1710 downloaded images.
1711
1712 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1713 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1714 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1715 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1716
1717 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1718 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1719 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1720 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1721
1722 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1723 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1724 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1725 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1726
1727 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1728 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1729 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1730 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1731 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1732 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1733 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1734 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.
1735
1736 - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1737 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
1738 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
1739 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1740
1741 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1742 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1743 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1744
1745 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1746 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1747 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1748
1749 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1750 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
1751 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1752 have not defined a custom partition
1753
1754 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1755 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1756
1757 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1758 file in FAT formatted partition.
1759
1760 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1761 user to write files to FAT.
1762
1763 CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1764 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS
1765
1766 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1767 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1768 and cbfsload.
1769
1770 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1771 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1772
1773 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1774 a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1775
1776 - Keyboard Support:
1777 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
1778
1779 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
1780 support
1781
1782 CONFIG_I8042_KBD
1783 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
1784 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
1785 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
1786 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
1787
1788 CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB
1789 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface.
1790 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller
1791 which provides key scans on request.
1792
1793 - Video support:
1794 CONFIG_VIDEO
1795
1796 Define this to enable video support (for output to
1797 video).
1798
1799 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1800
1801 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1802
1803 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1804 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1805 video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1806 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1807 assumed.
1808
1809 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1810 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1811 are possible:
1812 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1813 Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
1814
1815 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1816 -------------+---------------------------------------------
1817 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307
1818 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319
1819 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A
1820 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
1821 -------------+---------------------------------------------
1822 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1823
1824 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1825 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1826
1827
1828 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1829 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1830 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1831 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1832
1833 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1834 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1835 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1836 support, and should also define these other macros:
1837
1838 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1839 CONFIG_VIDEO
1840 CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1841 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1842 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1843 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1844 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1845 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1846
1847 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1848 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1849 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
1850 description of this variable.
1851
1852
1853 - Keyboard Support:
1854 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1855
1856 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1857 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1858 defined in your board-specific files.
1859 The only board using this so far is RBC823.
1860
1861 - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1862
1863 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1864 display); also select one of the supported displays
1865 by defining one of these:
1866
1867 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1868
1869 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1870
1871 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1872
1873 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1874
1875 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1876
1877 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1878 Active, color, single scan.
1879
1880 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1881
1882 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1883 Active, color, single scan.
1884
1885 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1886
1887 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1888 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1889
1890 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1891
1892 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1893 Active, color, single scan.
1894
1895 CONFIG_HLD1045
1896
1897 HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1898 Active, color, single scan.
1899
1900 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1901
1902 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1903 or
1904 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
1905 or
1906 Hitachi SP14Q002
1907
1908 320x240. Black & white.
1909
1910 Normally display is black on white background; define
1911 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1912
1913 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1914
1915 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1916 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1917 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1918 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1919 a per-section basis.
1920
1921 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1922
1923 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1924 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1925 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1926 is slow.
1927
1928 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1929
1930 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1931 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1932 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1933 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1934 printed out.
1935 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1936 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1937 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1938 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1939 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1940 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1941 1 = 90 degree rotation
1942 2 = 180 degree rotation
1943 3 = 270 degree rotation
1944
1945 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1946 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1947
1948 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1949
1950 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1951
1952 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1953
1954 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1955 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1956
1957 - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1958
1959 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1960 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1961 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1962 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1963 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1964 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1965 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1966 loaded very quickly after power-on.
1967
1968 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1969
1970 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1971 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1972 (see README.displaying-bmps).
1973 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1974 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1975 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1976 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1977 there is no need to set this option.
1978
1979 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1980
1981 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1982 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1983 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1984 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1985 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1986 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1987
1988 Example:
1989 setenv splashpos m,m
1990 => image at center of screen
1991
1992 setenv splashpos 30,20
1993 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1994
1995 setenv splashpos -10,m
1996 => vertically centered image
1997 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1998
1999 - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2000
2001 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2002 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2003 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2004
2005 - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2006
2007 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2008 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2009 bmp command.
2010
2011 - Do compressing for memory range:
2012 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2013
2014 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2015 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2016
2017 - Compression support:
2018 CONFIG_GZIP
2019
2020 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2021
2022 CONFIG_BZIP2
2023
2024 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2025 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2026 compressed images are supported.
2027
2028 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
2029 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
2030 be at least 4MB.
2031
2032 CONFIG_LZMA
2033
2034 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2035 images is included.
2036
2037 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2038 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2039 formula:
2040
2041 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2042
2043 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2044 and Literal pos bits.
2045
2046 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2047 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2048 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2049 a very small buffer.
2050
2051 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2052 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
2053 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
2054
2055 CONFIG_LZO
2056
2057 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2058 is included.
2059
2060 - MII/PHY support:
2061 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
2062
2063 The address of PHY on MII bus.
2064
2065 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2066
2067 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2068
2069 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2070
2071 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
2072 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
2073
2074 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2075
2076 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2077 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2078 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2079 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2080
2081 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2082
2083 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2084 command issued before MII status register can be read
2085
2086 - IP address:
2087 CONFIG_IPADDR
2088
2089 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
2090 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
2091 determined through e.g. bootp.
2092 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
2093
2094 - Server IP address:
2095 CONFIG_SERVERIP
2096
2097 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
2098 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
2099 (Environment variable "serverip")
2100
2101 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2102
2103 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2104 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2105
2106 - Gateway IP address:
2107 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2108
2109 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2110 default router where packets to other networks are
2111 sent to.
2112 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2113
2114 - Subnet mask:
2115 CONFIG_NETMASK
2116
2117 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2118 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2119 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2120 forwarded through a router.
2121 (Environment variable "netmask")
2122
2123 - Multicast TFTP Mode:
2124 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2125
2126 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2127 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
2128 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
2129 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2130 multicast group.
2131
2132 - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2133 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2134
2135 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2136 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2137 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2138 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2139 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2140 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2141 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2142 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
2143 following delays are inserted then:
2144
2145 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2146 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2147 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2148 4th and following
2149 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2150
2151 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2152
2153 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2154 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2155 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2156 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2157 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2158 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2159 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2160 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2161 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2162 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2163 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2164 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2165 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2166 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2167 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2168
2169 - DHCP Advanced Options:
2170 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2171 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2172
2173 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2174 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2175 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2176 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2177 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2178 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2179 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2180 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
2181 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2182 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2183 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2184 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2185 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
2186
2187 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2188 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
2189
2190 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2191 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2192 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2193 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2194 is not available.
2195
2196 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2197 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2198 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2199 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2200 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2201 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2202 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2203 is defined.
2204
2205 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2206 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2207 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
2208 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
2209 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2210 option 12 to the DHCP server.
2211
2212 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2213
2214 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2215 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2216 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2217 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2218 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2219 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2220 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2221 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2222 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2223 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2224 this delay.
2225
2226 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2227 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2228 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2229 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2230 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2231
2232 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
2233
2234 - CDP Options:
2235 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2236
2237 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2238
2239 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2240
2241 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2242 of the device.
2243
2244 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2245
2246 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2247 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2248 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2249
2250 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2251
2252 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2253 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2254
2255 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
2256
2257 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2258
2259 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
2260
2261 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2262
2263 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
2264
2265 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2266
2267 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2268
2269 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2270 device in .1 of milliwatts.
2271
2272 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2273
2274 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2275
2276 - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2277
2278 Several configurations allow to display the current
2279 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2280 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2281 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2282 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2283 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2284 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2285 feature in U-Boot.
2286
2287 Additional options:
2288
2289 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2290 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2291 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2292 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2293 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2294
2295 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2296 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2297 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2298 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2299 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2300 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2301
2302 - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2303
2304 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2305 on those systems that support this (optional)
2306 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2307
2308 - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2309
2310 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2311 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2312 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2313 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2314 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2315 interface.

2450
2451 additional defines:
2452
2453 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2454 Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use. If you
2455 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2456 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2457 omit this define.
2458
2459 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2460 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2461 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2462 omit this define.
2463
2464 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2465 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2466 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2467 define.
2468
2469 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2470 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2471 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2472 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2473 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2474
2475 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2476 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2477 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2478 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2479 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2480 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2481 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2482 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2483 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2484 }
2485
2486 which defines
2487 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2488 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2489 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2490 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2491 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
2492 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2493 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2494 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2495 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2496
2497 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2498
2499 - Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2500
2501 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2502 provides the following compelling advantages:
2503
2504 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2505 - approved multibus support
2506 - better i2c mux support
2507
2508 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2509
2510 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2511 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2512 for the selected CPU.
2513
2514 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2515 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2516 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2517 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2518 command line interface.
2519
2520 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2521
2522 There are several other quantities that must also be
2523 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2524
2525 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2526 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2527 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2528 the CPU's i2c node address).
2529
2530 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2531 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2532 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2533 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2534 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2535
2536 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2537
2538 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2539 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2540 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2541 commands until the slave device responds.
2542
2543 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2544
2545 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2546 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2547 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2548
2549 I2C_INIT
2550
2551 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2552 controller or configure ports.
2553
2554 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2555
2556 I2C_PORT
2557
2558 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2559 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2560 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2561
2562 I2C_ACTIVE
2563
2564 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2565 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2566 define can be null.
2567
2568 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2569
2570 I2C_TRISTATE
2571
2572 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2573 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2574 define can be null.
2575
2576 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2577
2578 I2C_READ
2579
2580 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2581 false if it is low.
2582
2583 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2584
2585 I2C_SDA(bit)
2586
2587 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2588 is false, it clears it (low).
2589
2590 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2591 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2592 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2593
2594 I2C_SCL(bit)
2595
2596 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2597 is false, it clears it (low).
2598
2599 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2600 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2601 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2602
2603 I2C_DELAY
2604
2605 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2606 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2607 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2608 like:
2609
2610 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2611
2612 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2613
2614 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2615 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2616 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2617 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2618
2619 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2620 the generic GPIO functions.
2621
2622 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2623
2624 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2625 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2626 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2627 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2628 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2629 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2630 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2631 is run early in the boot sequence.
2632
2633 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2634
2635 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2636 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2637 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2638 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2639 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2640 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2641 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2642 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2643
2644 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2645
2646 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2647 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2648 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2649
2650 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2651
2652 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2653 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2654 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2655 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2656
2657 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2658
2659 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2660 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2661 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2662 a 1D array of device addresses
2663
2664 e.g.
2665 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2666 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2667
2668 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2669
2670 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2671 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2672
2673 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2674
2675 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2676
2677 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2678 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2679
2680 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2681
2682 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2683 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2684
2685 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2686
2687 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2688 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2689
2690 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2691
2692 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2693 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2694 specified DTT device.
2695
2696 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2697
2698 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2699 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2700 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2701 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2702 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2703 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2704 the other.
2705
2706 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2707
2708 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2709 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2710 D/As on the SACSng board)
2711
2712 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2713
2714 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2715 only SH7757 is supported.
2716
2717 CONFIG_SPI_X
2718
2719 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2720 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2721
2722 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2723
2724 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2725 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2726 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2727 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2728 defined, the board configuration must define several
2729 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2730 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2731
2732 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2733
2734 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2735 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2736 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2737 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2738 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2739
2740 CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2741
2742 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2743 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2744
2745 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2746 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2747 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
2748
2749 - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2750
2751 Enables FPGA subsystem.
2752
2753 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2754
2755 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2756 (ALTERA, XILINX)
2757
2758 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2759
2760 Enables support for FPGA family.
2761 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2762
2763 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2764
2765 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2766
2767 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2768
2769 Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2770
2771 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2772
2773 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2774
2775 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2776
2777 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2778 (Xilinx only)
2779
2780 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2781
2782 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2783
2784 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2785
2786 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2787 status by the configuration function. This option
2788 will require a board or device specific function to
2789 be written.
2790
2791 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2792
2793 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2794 configuration driver.
2795
2796 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2797 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2798
2799 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2800
2801 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2802 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2803 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2804 indicated a CRC error).
2805
2806 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2807
2808 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2809 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2810 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2811 ms.
2812
2813 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2814
2815 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2816 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2817
2818 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2819
2820 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2821 200 ms.
2822
2823 - Configuration Management:
2824 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2825
2826 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2827 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2828 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2829 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2830 make / MAKEALL.
2831
2832 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2833
2834 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2835 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2836
2837 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2838
2839 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2840 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2841 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2842 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2843 protects these variables from casual modification by
2844 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2845 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2846 change this behaviour:
2847
2848 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2849 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2850 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2851 these parameters.
2852
2853 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2854 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2855 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2856 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2857 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2858 read-only.]
2859
2860 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2861 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2862 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2863 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2864
2865 - Protected RAM:
2866 CONFIG_PRAM
2867
2868 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2869 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2870 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2871 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2872 this default value by defining an environment
2873 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2874 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2875 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2876 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2877 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2878 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2879 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2880
2881 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2882 saveenv
2883
2884 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2885 either, which results in a memory region that will
2886 not be affected by reboots.
2887
2888 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2889 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2890 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2891 following board configurations are known to be
2892 "pRAM-clean":
2893
2894 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2895 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2896 FLAGADM, TQM8260
2897
2898 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2899 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2900 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2901 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2902 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2903 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2904 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2905
2906 - Error Recovery:
2907 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2908
2909 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2910 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2911 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2912 system where you want the system to reboot
2913 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2914 useful during development since you can try to debug
2915 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2916
2917 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2918
2919 This variable defines the number of retries for
2920 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2921 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2922 default value of 5 is used.
2923
2924 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2925
2926 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2927
2928 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2929
2930 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2931 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2932 try longer timeout such as
2933 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2934
2935 - Command Interpreter:
2936 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2937
2938 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2939
2940 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2941
2942 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2943 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2944 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2945
2946 Note:
2947
2948 In the current implementation, the local variables
2949 space and global environment variables space are
2950 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2951 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2952 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2953 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2954 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2955
2956 Global environment variables are those you use
2957 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2958 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2959 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2960
2961 To store commands and special characters in a
2962 variable, please use double quotation marks
2963 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2964 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2965 symbols.
2966
2967 - Command Line Editing and History:
2968 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2969
2970 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2971 command line input operations
2972
2973 - Default Environment:
2974 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2975
2976 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2977 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2978 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2979
2980 For example, place something like this in your
2981 board's config file:
2982
2983 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2984 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2985 "myvar2=value2\0"
2986
2987 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2988 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2989 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2990 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2991 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2992 You better know what you are doing here.
2993
2994 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2995 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2996 the environment like the "source" command or the
2997 boot command first.
2998
2999 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
3000
3001 Define this in order to add variables describing the
3002 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3003 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3004
3005 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3006
3007 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3008 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3009 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3010 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3011 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3012
3013 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3014
3015 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3016 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3017 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3018
3019 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3020
3021 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
3022 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
3023 that so that the environment is not available until
3024 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3025 this is instead controlled by the value of
3026 /config/load-environment.
3027
3028 - Parallel Flash support:
3029 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
3030
3031 Traditionally U-boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
3032 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
3033 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
3034 parallel flash.
3035
3036 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
3037 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
3038 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
3039 flash API (see include/flash.h).
3040
3041 - DataFlash Support:
3042 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3043
3044 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3045 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3046 commands cp, md...
3047
3048 - Serial Flash support
3049 CONFIG_CMD_SF
3050
3051 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3052 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3053
3054 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3055 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3056 commands.
3057
3058 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3059 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3060 flash is present on the system.
3061
3062 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3063 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
3064 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
3065 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3066
3067 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3068
3069 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3070 test ('sf test').
3071
3072 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3073
3074 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3075 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
3076 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
3077
3078 - SystemACE Support:
3079 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3080
3081 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3082 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
3083 of the chip must also be defined in the
3084 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3085
3086 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3087 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3088
3089 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3090 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3091
3092 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3093 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3094
3095 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
3096 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
3097 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
3098 number generator is used.
3099
3100 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3101 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3102 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3103
3104 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
3105 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3106 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3107 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3108 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3109 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3110 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3111
3112 - Hashing support:
3113 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3114
3115 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3116 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3117
3118 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3119
3120 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3121 size a little.
3122
3123 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3124 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3125 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3126 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3127 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3128 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3129 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3130 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3131 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3132 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3133 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3134 is performed in hardware.
3135
3136 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3137 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3138
3139 - Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3140 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3141 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3142 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3143
3144 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3145 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3146 a boot from specific media.
3147
3148 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3149 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3150 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3151 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3152 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3153
3154 - Signing support:
3155 CONFIG_RSA
3156
3157 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
3158 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
3159
3160 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3161 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3162 library to function.
3163
3164 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3165 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3166 mkimage irrespective of this option.
3167
3168 - bootcount support:
3169 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3170
3171 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3172 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3173
3174 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3175 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3176 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3177 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3178 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3179 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3180 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3181 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3182 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3183 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3184 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3185 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3186 the bootcounter.
3187 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3188
3189 - Show boot progress:
3190 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3191
3192 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3193 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3194 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3195 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3196 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3197 the following checkpoints are implemented:

3352
3353 - legacy image format:
3354 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3355 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3356
3357 Default:
3358 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3359
3360 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3361 disable the legacy image format
3362
3363 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3364 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3365
3366 - FIT image support:
3367 CONFIG_FIT
3368 Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
3369
3370 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3371 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3372 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3373 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3374 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3375 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3376
3377 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3378 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3379 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. If
3380 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL is defined, i.e support for progressive
3381 hashing is available using hardware, RSA library will use it.
3382 See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3383
3384 WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
3385 signature check the legacy image format is default
3386 disabled. If a board need legacy image format support
3387 enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3388
3389 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3390 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3391 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3392 with this option.
3393
3394 - Standalone program support:
3395 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3396
3397 This option defines a board specific value for the
3398 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3399 overwriting the architecture dependent default
3400 settings.
3401
3402 - Frame Buffer Address:
3403 CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3404
3405 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3406 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3407 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3408 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3409 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3410 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3411 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3412 configured panel size.
3413
3414 Please see board_init_f function.
3415
3416 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3417 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3418 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3419 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3420
3421 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3422 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3423
3424 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3425 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3426
3427 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3428 Needed for mtdparts command support.
3429
3430 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3431
3432 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3433 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3434
3435 - UBI support
3436 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3437
3438 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3439 with the UBI flash translation layer
3440
3441 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3442
3443 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3444
3445 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3446 warnings and errors enabled.
3447
3448
3449 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3450 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3451 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3452 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3453 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3454 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3455
3456 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3457 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3458 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3459 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3460 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3461
3462 default: 4096
3463
3464 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3465 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3466 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3467 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3468 flash), this value is ignored.
3469
3470 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3471 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3472 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3473 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3474 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3475 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3476
3477 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3478 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3479 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3480 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3481 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3482 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3483 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3484 partition.
3485
3486 default: 20
3487
3488 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3489 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3490 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3491 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3492 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3493 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3494 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3495 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3496 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3497 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3498 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3499 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3500
3501 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3502 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3503 without a fastmap.
3504 default: 0
3505
3506 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3507 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3508 default: 0
3509
3510 - UBIFS support
3511 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3512
3513 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3514 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3515
3516 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3517
3518 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3519
3520 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3521 warnings and errors enabled.
3522
3523 - SPL framework
3524 CONFIG_SPL
3525 Enable building of SPL globally.
3526
3527 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3528 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3529
3530 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3531 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3532 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3533 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3534 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3535 must not be both defined at the same time.
3536
3537 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3538 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3539 linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3540 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3541 not exceed it.
3542
3543 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3544 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3545
3546 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3547 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
3548 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3549
3550 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3551 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3552
3553 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3554 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3555 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3556 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3557 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3558 must not be both defined at the same time.
3559
3560 CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3561 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3562
3563 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3564 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3565 loaded does not have a signature.
3566 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3567 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3568 will be caught.
3569 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3570 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3571 and thus should be skipped silently.
3572
3573 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3574 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3575 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
3576 CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3577
3578 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3579 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3580 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3581 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3582 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3583
3584 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3585 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3586
3587 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3588 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework
3589 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3590 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3591
3592 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3593 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3594 See also: doc/README.falcon
3595
3596 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3597 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3598 about the running system.
3599

3613 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary
3614
3615 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT
3616 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary
3617
3618 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR,
3619 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS,
3620 Address and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from
3621 when the MMC is being used in raw mode.

3624 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3625 used in raw mode
3626
3627 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3628 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3629 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3630
3631 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
3632 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
3633 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
3634 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode

3656 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3657
3658 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3659 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3660 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3661 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3662 loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3663
3664 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3665 Avoid SPL relocation
3666
3667 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3668 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires
3669 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.

3694 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3695 SPL binary.
3696
3697 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3698 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3699 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3700 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3701 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3702 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3703 to read U-Boot
3704
3705 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3706 Add support NAND boot
3707
3708 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3709 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from

3716
3717 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3718 Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3719
3720 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3721 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3722 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3723
3724 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3725 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3726 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.

3744 Support for the environment operating in SPL binary
3745
3746 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT
3747 Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary.
3748 It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by
3749 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
3750
3751 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3752 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3753 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3754 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3755 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3756 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3757
3758 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3759 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3760 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3761 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3762
3763 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3764 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3765 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3766 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3767 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3768
3769 - TPL framework
3770 CONFIG_TPL
3771 Enable building of TPL globally.
3772
3773 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3774 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3775 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3776 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3777 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3778 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3779
3780 Modem Support:
3781 --------------
3782
3783 [so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
3784
3785 - Modem support enable:
3786 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3787
3788 - RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3789 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3790
3791 - Modem debug support:
3792 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3793
3794 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3795 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
3796
3797 - Interrupt support (PPC):
3798
3799 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3800 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3801 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3802 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3803 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3804 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3805 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3806 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3807 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3808 general timer_interrupt().
3809
3810 - General:
3811
3812 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3813 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3814 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3815 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3816 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3817 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3818 initialization.
3819
3820 If there are no modem init strings in the
3821 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3822 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3823 suppressed, though.
3824
3825 See also: doc/README.Modem
3826
3827 Board initialization settings:
3828 ------------------------------
3829
3830 During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3831 to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3832 before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3833 following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3834 architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3835 typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3836
3837 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3838 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3839 - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3840 - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3841
3842 Configuration Settings:
3843 -----------------------
3844
3845 - CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3846 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3847
3848 - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3849 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3850
3851 - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3852 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3853
3854 - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3855 prompt for user input.
3856
3857 - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
3858
3859 - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
3860
3861 - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3862
3863 - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3864 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3865 booted
3866
3867 - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3868 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3869
3870 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3871 Suppress display of console information at boot.
3872
3873 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3874 If the board specific function
3875 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3876 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3877 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3878
3879 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3880 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3881
3882 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3883 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3884
3885 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3886 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3887 simple memory test.
3888
3889 - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3890 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3891
3892 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3893 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3894 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3895
3896 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3897 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3898 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3899 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3900 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3901 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3902 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3903 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3904 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3905 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3906
3907 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3908 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3909 be touched.
3910
3911 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3912 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3913 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3914 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3915 problems.
3916
3917 - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3918 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3919
3920 - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3921 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3922
3923 - CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3924 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3925 Cogent motherboard)
3926
3927 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3928 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3929
3930 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3931 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3932 make config files to be same as the text base address
3933 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3934 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3935
3936 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3937 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3938 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3939 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3940 flash sector.
3941
3942 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3943 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3944
3945 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3946 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3947 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3948 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3949 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3950 space.
3951
3952 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3953 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3954 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3955 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3956 U-Boot relocates itself.
3957
3958 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
3959 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3960
3961 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3962 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3963 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3964 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3965
3966 - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3967 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3968 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3969 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3970 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3971 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3972 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3973 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3974 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3975 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3976 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3977 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3978 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3979 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3980 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3981 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3982
3983 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3984
3985 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3986 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3987 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3988 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3989 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3990
3991 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3992 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3993 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3994 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3995 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3996 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3997 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3998 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
3999 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4000 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
4001 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
4002
4003 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
4004 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
4005 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
4006 is enabled.
4007
4008 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
4009 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
4010 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4011
4012 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
4013 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
4014 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4015
4016 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
4017 Max number of Flash memory banks
4018
4019 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
4020 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
4021
4022 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
4023 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
4024
4025 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
4026 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
4027
4028 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
4029 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
4030
4031 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
4032 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
4033
4034 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
4035 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
4036 instead of U-Boot software protection.
4037
4038 - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
4039
4040 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4041 without this option such a download has to be
4042 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4043 copy from RAM to flash.
4044
4045 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4046 you can check if the download worked before you erase
4047 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4048 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
4049 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
4050
4051 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
4052 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
4053 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
4054
4055 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
4056 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
4057 in the drivers directory
4058
4059 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
4060 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
4061 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
4062 to the MTD layer.
4063
4064 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
4065 Use buffered writes to flash.
4066
4067 - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
4068 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
4069 write commands.
4070
4071 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
4072 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
4073 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4074 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4075 optionally available.
4076
4077 - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
4078 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
4079 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
4080 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
4081
4082 - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4083 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4084 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4085 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4086 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4087 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4088 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4089 this option if you really know what you are doing.
4090
4091 - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
4092 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4093 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
4094 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4095 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
4096 on high Ethernet traffic.
4097 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
4098
4099 - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
4100
4101 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
4102 internally to store the environment settings. The default
4103 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
4104 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
4105 lib/hashtable.c for details.
4106
4107 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4108 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4109 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
4110 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4111 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4112 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4113
4114 The format of the list is:
4115 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
4116 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
4117 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
4118 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
4119 list = entry[,list]
4120
4121 The type attributes are:
4122 s - String (default)
4123 d - Decimal
4124 x - Hexadecimal
4125 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
4126 i - IP address
4127 m - MAC address
4128
4129 The access attributes are:
4130 a - Any (default)
4131 r - Read-only
4132 o - Write-once
4133 c - Change-default
4134
4135 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4136 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
4137 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4138
4139 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4140 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4141 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4142 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4143 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4144 ".flags" variable.
4145
4146 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4147 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
4148 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
4149
4150 - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4151 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4152 access flags.
4153
4154 - CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4155 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4156 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4157 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4158 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4159 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4160 must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig).
4161 If you find problems enabling this option on your board please report
4162 the problem and send patches!
4163
4164 - CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4165 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4166 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4167 the value can be calculated on a given board.
4168
4169 - CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4170 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4171 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4172 building U-Boot to enable this.
4173
4174 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4175 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4176 following configurations:
4177
4178 - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4179
4180 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4181 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4182
4183 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
4184
4185 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4186
4187 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4188 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4189 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4190 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4191 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4192 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4193 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4194 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4195 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4196 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4197 between U-Boot and the environment.
4198
4199 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4200
4201 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4202 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4203 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4204 for this sector is given here.
4205
4206 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
4207
4208 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4209
4210 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4211 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
4212 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
4213
4214 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4215
4216 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4217
4218
4219 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4220 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4221 the environment.
4222
4223 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4224
4225 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
4226 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
4227 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4228 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4229
4230 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4231 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4232 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4233 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4234 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4235 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4236 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4237 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4238 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4239
4240 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4241 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4242
4243 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4244 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4245 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4246 a "saveenv" operation.
4247
4248 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4249 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4250 accordingly!
4251
4252
4253 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4254
4255 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4256 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4257 environment.
4258
4259 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4260 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4261
4262 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4263 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4264 can just be read and written to, without any special
4265 provision.
4266
4267 BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4268 in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4269 console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4270 U-Boot will hang.
4271
4272 Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4273 environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4274 keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4275 to save the current settings.
4276
4277
4278 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4279
4280 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4281 device and a driver for it.
4282
4283 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4284 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4285
4286 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4287 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4288
4289 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4290 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4291 The default address is zero.
4292
4293 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4294 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4295
4296 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4297 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4298 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4299 would require six bits.
4300
4301 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4302 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4303 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
4304
4305 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4306 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4307 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4308
4309 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4310 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4311 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4312 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4313 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4314 byte chips.
4315
4316 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4317 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4318 in the chip address.
4319
4320 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4321 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4322
4323 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4324 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4325 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4326
4327 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4328 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4329 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4330 EEPROM. For example:
4331
4332 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
4333
4334 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4335 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4336
4337 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4338
4339 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4340 want to use for the environment.
4341
4342 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4343 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4344 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4345
4346 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4347 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4348 at the specified address.
4349
4350 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4351
4352 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4353 want to use for the environment.
4354
4355 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4356 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4357
4358 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4359 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4360 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4361
4362 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4363
4364 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4365
4366 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4367
4368 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4369 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4370 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4371 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4372 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4373
4374 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4375 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4376
4377 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4378
4379 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4380
4381 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4382
4383 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4384
4385 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4386
4387 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4388
4389 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4390 want to use for the local device's environment.
4391
4392 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4393 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4394
4395 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4396 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4397 local device can get the environment from remote memory
4398 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4399
4400 BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4401 "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4402 environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4403 but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4404
4405 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4406
4407 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4408 for the environment.
4409
4410 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4411 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4412
4413 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4414 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4415 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4416
4417 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4418
4419 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4420 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4421 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4422 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4423 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4424
4425 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4426
4427 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4428 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4429 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4430 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4431 the range to be avoided.
4432
4433 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4434
4435 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4436 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4437 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4438 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4439 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4440
4441 - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4442
4443 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4444 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4445 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4446
4447 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4448
4449 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4450 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4451 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4452
4453 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4454
4455 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4456
4457 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4458
4459 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4460 environment in.
4461
4462 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4463
4464 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4465 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4466 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4467
4468 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4469 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4470
4471 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4472 when storing the env in UBI.
4473
4474 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4475 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4476
4477 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4478
4479 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4480
4481 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4482
4483 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4484 be as following:
4485
4486 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4487 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4488 partition table.
4489 - "D:0": device D.
4490 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4491 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4492 table.
4493 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4494 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4495 partition table then means device D.
4496
4497 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4498
4499 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4500 environment.
4501
4502 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4503 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4504
4505 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4506
4507 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4508 environment.
4509
4510 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4511
4512 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4513
4514 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4515
4516 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4517 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4518 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4519
4520 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4521 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4522
4523 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4524 area within the specified MMC device.
4525
4526 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4527 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4528 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4529 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4530 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4531 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4532 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4533
4534 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4535 MMC sector boundary.
4536
4537 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4538
4539 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4540 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4541 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4542 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4543
4544 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4545 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4546
4547 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4548 an MMC sector boundary.
4549
4550 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4551
4552 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4553 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4554 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4555
4556 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4557
4558 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4559 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4560 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4561 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4562 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4563 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4564 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4565
4566 Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4567 has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4568 created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4569 until then to read environment variables.
4570
4571 The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4572 is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4573 with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4574 necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4575 "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4576 have any device yet where we could complain.]
4577
4578 Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4579 the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4580 use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4581
4582 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4583 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4584
4585 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4586 also needs to be defined.
4587
4588 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4589 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4590
4591 - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4592 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4593 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4594 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4595 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4596 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4597
4598 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4599 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4600 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4601 to do this.
4602
4603 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4604 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4605 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4606 present.
4607
4608 - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4609 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4610 build system checks that the actual size does not
4611 exceed it.
4612
4613 Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4614 ---------------------------------------------------
4615
4616 - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4617 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4618
4619 - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4620 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4621
4622 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4623 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4624 the IMMR register after a reset.
4625
4626 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4627 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4628 PowerPC SOCs.
4629
4630 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4631 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4632 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4633
4634 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4635 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4636
4637 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4638 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4639 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
4640 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
4641 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4642 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4643 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4644
4645 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4646 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4647
4648 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4649 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4650 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
4651 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4652 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4653
4654 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4655 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4656 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4657 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4658
4659 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4660 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4661 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4662
4663 - Floppy Disk Support:
4664 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4665
4666 the default drive number (default value 0)
4667
4668 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4669
4670 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4671 (default value 1)
4672
4673 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4674
4675 defines the offset of register from address. It
4676 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4677 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4678
4679 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4680 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4681 default value.
4682
4683 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4684 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4685 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4686 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4687 initializations.
4688
4689 - CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4690 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4691 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4692 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4693 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4694 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4695 is required.
4696
4697 - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4698 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4699 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4700
4701 - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4702
4703 Start address of memory area that can be used for
4704 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4705 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4706 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4707 will become available only after programming the
4708 memory controller and running certain initialization
4709 sequences.
4710
4711 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4712 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4713 - MPC824X: data cache
4714 - PPC4xx: data cache
4715
4716 - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4717
4718 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4719 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4720 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4721 data is located at the end of the available space
4722 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4723 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4724 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4725 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4726
4727 Note:
4728 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4729 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4730 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4731 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4732 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4780 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
4781
4782 - CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
4783 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
4784 wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4785 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4786
4787 - CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4788 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post

4803 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4804 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4805 required.
4806
4807 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4808 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4809 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4810 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4811 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4812 by coreboot or similar.
4813
4814 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4815 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4816
4817 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:

4830 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4831
4832 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS:
4833 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region

4839 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4840 a 16 bit bus.
4841 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4842 Example of drivers that use it:
4843 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4844 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4845
4846 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG

4856
4857 - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4858 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4859 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4860 to something your driver can deal with.
4861
4862 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4863 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4864 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4865 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4866 header files or board specific files.
4867
4868 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4869 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.

4876
4877 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4878 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4879 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4880
4881 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4882 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4883
4884 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4885 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4886 to the given FEC; i. e.
4887 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4888 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4889
4890 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4891
4892 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4893 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4894 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4895
4896 - CONFIG_RMII
4897 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4898 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4899 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4900
4901 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4902 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4903 The syntax is:
4904
4905 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4906
4907 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4908 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4909 area should have.
4910
4911 - CONFIG_LOOPW
4912 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4913 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4914
4915 - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4916 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4917 "md/mw" commands.
4918 Examples:
4919
4920 => mdc.b 10 4 500
4921 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4922
4923 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4924 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4925
4926 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4927 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4928
4929 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4930 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4931 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4932 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4933 relocate itself into RAM.
4934
4935 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4936 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4937 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4938 these initializations itself.
4939
4940 - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4941 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4942 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4943 compiling a NAND SPL.
4944
4945 - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4946 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4947 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4948 It is loaded by the SPL.
4949
4950 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4951 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4952 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4953 previous 4k of the .text section.
4954
4955 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4956 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4957 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4958 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4959 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4960 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4961 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4962 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4963
4964 - CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4965 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4966 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4967 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4968 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4969
4970 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4971 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4972 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4973
4974 - CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4975 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4976
4977 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4978
4979 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4980 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4981
4982 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4983 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4984 driver that uses this:
4985 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4986
4987 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4988 -----------------------------------
4989
4990 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4991 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4992 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4993 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4994 within that device.
4995
4996 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4997 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4998 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4999 is also specified.
5000
5001 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
5002 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
5003 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5004 is also specified.
5005
5006 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5007 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5008 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5009 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5010 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5011
5012 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5013 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5014 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5015 virtual address in NOR flash.
5016
5017 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
5018 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
5019 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
5020
5021 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
5022 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
5023 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5024
5025 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
5026 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
5027 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5028
5029 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
5030 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
5031 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
5032 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
5033 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
5034 master's memory space.
5035
5036 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
5037 ---------------------------------------------------------
5038 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5039 "firmware".
5040 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5041 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5042 within that device.
5043
5044 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
5045 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5046
5047 - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5048 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
5049 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5050 is also specified.
5051
5052 - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5053 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5054 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5055 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5056 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5057
5058 - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5059 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5060 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
5061 virtual address in NOR flash.
5062
5063 Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
5064 -------------------------------------------
5065 The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
5066 "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
5067 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
5068
5069 - CONFIG_FSL_DEBUG_SERVER
5070 Enable the Debug Server for Layerscape SoCs.
5071
5072 - CONFIG_SYS_DEBUG_SERVER_DRAM_BLOCK_MIN_SIZE
5073 Define minimum DDR size required for debug server image
5074
5075 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE_MIN
5076 Define minimum DDR size to be hided from top of the DDR memory
5077
5078 Reproducible builds
5079 -------------------
5080
5081 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
5082 process have to be set to a fixed value.
5083
5084 This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
5085 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
5086 option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
5087
5088 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
5089
5090 Building the Software:
5091 ======================
5092
5093 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5094 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5095 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5096 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5097 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5098 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
5099
5100 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5101 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5102 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5103 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5104 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
5105
5106 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5107 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
5108
5109 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5110 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5111 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5112 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5113
5114 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5115
5116 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5117 be executed on computers running Windows.
5118
5119 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5120 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
5121 is done by typing:
5122
5123 make NAME_defconfig
5124
5125 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
5126 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
5127
5128 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5129 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5130 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5131 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
5132 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
5133
5134 make TQM823L_defconfig
5135 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5136
5137 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
5138 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5139
5140 etc.
5141
5142
5143 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5144 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5145
5146 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5147 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5148 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5149
5150 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5151 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5152 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5153
5154 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5155
5156 make O=/tmp/build distclean
5157 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
5158 make O=/tmp/build all
5159
5160 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
5161
5162 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
5163 make distclean
5164 make NAME_defconfig
5165 make all
5166
5167 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
5168 variable.
5169
5170
5171 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5172 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5173 native "make".
5174
5175
5176 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5177 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5178 steps:
5179
5180 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
5181 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5182 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
5183 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5184 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5185 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
5186 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5187 your board
5188 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5189 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
5190 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
5191 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5192 to be installed on your target system.
5193 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5194 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5195
5196
5197 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5198 ==============================================================
5199
5200 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5201 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
5202 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5203 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
5204 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
5205
5206 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5207 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
5208 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5209 just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
5210 for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5211 select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5212 environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5213 you can type
5214
5215 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5216
5217 or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5218
5219 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5220
5221 When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5222 U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5223 setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5224 built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5225 <target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5226 location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5227 variable. For example:
5228
5229 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5230 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5231 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5232
5233 With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5234 log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5235 during the whole build process.

5294
5295 For now: just type "help <command>".
5296
5297
5298 Environment Variables:
5299 ======================
5300
5301 U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5302 can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5303
5304 Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5305 "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5306 without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5307 environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5308 working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5309 environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5310
5311 Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5312
5313 List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5314
5315 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5316
5317 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5318
5319 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5320
5321 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5322
5323 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
5324
5325 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5326 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5327 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5328 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5329 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5330 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5331 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5332 bootm_mapsize.
5333
5334 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5335 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5336 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5337 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5338 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5339 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5340 used otherwise.
5341
5342 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5343 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5344 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5345 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5346 environment variable.
5347
5348 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5349 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5350 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5351
5352 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5353 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5354 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5355 load any image using TFTP
5356
5357 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5358 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5359 be automatically started (by internally calling
5360 "bootm")
5361
5362 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5363 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5364 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5365 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5366 data.
5367
5368 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5369 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5370 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5371 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5372 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5373 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5374 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5375 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5376 access it during the boot procedure.
5377
5378 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5379 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5380 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5381 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5382 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5383 must be accessible by the kernel.
5384
5385 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5386 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5387 defined.
5388
5389 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5390 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5391 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5392 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5393 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5394
5395 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5396 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5397 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5398 is usually what you want since it allows for
5399 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5400 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5401 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5402 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5403 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5404 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5405 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5406
5407 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5408 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5409 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5410 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5411 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5412 12 MB as well - this can be done with
5413
5414 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5415
5416 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5417 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5418 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5419 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5420 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5421 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5422 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5423
5424 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5425
5426 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5427 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5428
5429 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5430
5431 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5432
5433 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5434
5435 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5436
5437 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5438
5439 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
5440
5441 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5442 For example you can do the following
5443
5444 => setenv ethact FEC
5445 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5446 => setenv ethact SCC
5447 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5448
5449 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5450 available network interfaces.
5451 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5452
5453 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
5454 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5455 When set to "once" the network operation will
5456 fail when all the available network interfaces
5457 are tried once without success.
5458 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5459 themselves.
5460
5461 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
5462
5463 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5464 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5465 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5466 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5467 is silent.
5468
5469 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5470 UDP source port.
5471
5472 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5473 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5474
5475 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5476 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5477
5478 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5479 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5480 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5481 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5482 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5483 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5484 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5485
5486 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5487 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5488 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5489 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5490 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5491 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5492 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5493
5494 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5495 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5496 VLAN tagged frames.
5497
5498 The following image location variables contain the location of images
5499 used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5500 not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5501 variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5502 server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5503 loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5504 flash or offset in NAND flash.
5505
5506 *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5507 boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5508 boards use these variables for other purposes.
5509
5510 Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
5511 ----- --------- ----------- --------------
5512 u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
5513 Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
5514 device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
5515 ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
5516
5517 The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5518 updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5519 depending the information provided by your boot server:
5520
5521 bootfile - see above
5522 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5523 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5524 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5525 hostname - Target hostname
5526 ipaddr - see above
5527 netmask - Subnet Mask
5528 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5529 serverip - see above
5530
5531
5532 There are two special Environment Variables:
5533
5534 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5535 as type string and/or serial number
5536 ethaddr - Ethernet address
5537
5538 These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5539 the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5540 once they have been set once.
5541
5542
5543 Further special Environment Variables:
5544
5545 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5546 with the "version" command. This variable is
5547 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5548
5549
5550 Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5551 only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5552
5553
5554 Callback functions for environment variables:
5555 ---------------------------------------------
5556
5557 For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5558 when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
5559 be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5560 deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5561 effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5562
5563 The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5564 U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5565
5566 These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5567 static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5568 in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5569 associations. The list must be in the following format:
5570
5571 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5572 list = entry[,list]
5573
5574 If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5575 Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5576
5577 Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5578 with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5579 override any association in the static list. You can define
5580 CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5581 ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5582
5583 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5584 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5585 the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5586
5587
5588 Command Line Parsing:
5589 =====================
5590
5591 There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5592 the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5593
5594 Old, simple command line parser:
5595 --------------------------------
5596
5597 - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5598 - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5599 - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5600 - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5601 for example:
5602 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5603 - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5604 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5605
5606 Hush shell:
5607 -----------
5608
5609 - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5610 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5611 until...do...done, ...
5612 - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5613 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5614 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5615 command
5616
5617 General rules:
5618 --------------
5619
5620 (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5621 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5622 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5623 executed anyway.
5624
5625 (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5626 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5627 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5628 variables are not executed.
5629
5630 Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5631 =======================================
5632
5633 Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5634 such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5635 "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5636
5637 Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5638 MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5639 "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5640
5641 If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5642 in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5643 ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5644 variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5645
5646 o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5647 environment, the SROM's address is used.
5648
5649 o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5650 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5651 used.
5652
5653 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5654 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5655
5656 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5657 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5658 warning is printed.
5659
5660 o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5661 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5662 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5663
5664 If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5665 will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
5666 may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5667 The naming convention is as follows:
5668 "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5669
5670 Image Formats:
5671 ==============
5672
5673 U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5674 images in two formats:
5675
5676 New uImage format (FIT)
5677 -----------------------
5678
5679 Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5680 to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5681 components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5682 SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5683
5684
5685 Old uImage format
5686 -----------------
5687
5688 Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5689 preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5690 details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5691
5692 * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5693 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5694 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5695 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5696 INTEGRITY).
5697 * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5698 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5699 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5700 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5701 * Load Address
5702 * Entry Point
5703 * Image Name
5704 * Image Timestamp
5705
5706 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5707 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5708 CRC32 checksums.

5710
5711 Linux Support:
5712 ==============
5713
5714 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5715 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5716 U-Boot.
5717
5718 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5719 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5720 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5721 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5722 serves several purposes:
5723
5724 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5725 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5726 Flash memory footprint)
5727
5728 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5729 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5730
5731 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5732 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5733 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5734 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5735 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5736 software is easier now.
5737
5738
5739 Linux HOWTO:
5740 ============
5741
5742 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5743 ---------------------------------------
5744
5745 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5746 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5747 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5748 Linux :-).
5749
5750 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5751
5752 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5753 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5754 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5755 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5756 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5757
5758 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5759 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5760 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5761 doc/driver-model.
5762
5763
5764 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5765 -----------------------------
5766
5767 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5768 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5769
5770
5771 Building a Linux Image:
5772 -----------------------
5773
5774 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5775 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5776 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5777 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5778 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5779 100% compatible format.
5780
5781 Example:
5782
5783 make TQM850L_defconfig
5784 make oldconfig
5785 make dep
5786 make uImage
5787
5788 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5789 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5790 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5791
5792 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5793
5794 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5795
5796 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5797 -R .note -R .comment \
5798 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5799
5800 * compress the binary image:
5801
5802 gzip -9 linux.bin
5803
5804 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5805
5806 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5807 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5808 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5809
5810
5811 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5812 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5813 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5814 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5815 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5816 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5817
5818 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5819 print the header information, or to build new images.
5820
5821 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5822 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5823 checksum verification:
5824
5825 tools/mkimage -l image
5826 -l ==> list image header information
5827
5828 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5829 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5830
5831 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5832 -n name -d data_file image
5833 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5834 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5835 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5836 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5837 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5838 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5839 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5840 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5841
5842 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5843 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5844 kernel version:
5845
5846 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5847 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5848
5849 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5850
5851 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5852 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5853 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5854 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5855 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5856 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5857 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5858 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5859 Load Address: 0x00000000
5860 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5861
5862 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5863
5864 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5865 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5866 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5867 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5868 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5869 Load Address: 0x00000000
5870 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5871
5872 NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5873 speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5874 needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5875 need to be uncompressed:
5876
5877 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5878 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5879 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5880 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5881 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5882 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5883 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5884 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5885 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5886 Load Address: 0x00000000
5887 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5888
5889
5890 Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5891 when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5892
5893 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5894 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5895 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5896 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
5897 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5898 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5899 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5900 Load Address: 0x00000000
5901 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5902
5903 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5904 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5905 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5906 from the image:
5907
5908 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5909 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5910 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5911 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5912
5913
5914 Installing a Linux Image:
5915 -------------------------
5916
5917 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5918 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5919
5920 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5921
5922 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5923 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5924 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5925 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5926 command.
5927
5928 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5929 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5930
5931 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5932
5933 .......... done
5934 Erased 8 sectors
5935
5936 => loads 40100000
5937 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5938 ~>examples/image.srec

5942 [file transfer complete]
5943 [connected]
5944 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5945
5946
5947 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5948 this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5949 corruption happened:
5950
5951 => imi 40100000
5952
5953 ## Checking Image at 40100000 ...

5962 Boot Linux:
5963 -----------
5964
5965 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5966 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5967 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5968 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5969 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5970
5971
5972 => printenv bootargs
5973 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5974
5975 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5976
5977 => printenv bootargs
5978 bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

6094 More About U-Boot Image Types:
6095 ------------------------------
6096
6097 U-Boot supports the following image types:
6098
6099 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6100 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6101 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6102 the Standalone Program.
6103 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6104 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6105 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6106 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6107 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6108 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6109 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6110 being started.
6111 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6112 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6113 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6114 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6115 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6116 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
6117
6118 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6119 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6120 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6121 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6122 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6123 a multiple of 4 bytes).
6124
6125 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6126 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6127 flash memory.
6128
6129 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6130 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6131 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6132 as command interpreter.
6133
6134 Booting the Linux zImage:
6135 -------------------------
6136
6137 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6138 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6139 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6140
6141 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
6142 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6143 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6144 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
6145
6146
6147 Standalone HOWTO:
6148 =================
6149
6150 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6151 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6152 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
6153
6154 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6155
6156 "Hello World" Demo:
6157 -------------------
6158
6159 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6160 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6161 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6162 like that:

6188 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6189 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6190 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6191 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6192 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6193 controlled by the following keys:
6194
6195 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6196 b - enable interrupts and start timer
6197 e - stop timer and disable interrupts

6235 Minicom warning:
6236 ================
6237
6238 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6239 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6240 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6241 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6242 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
6243 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
6244 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6245 for help with kermit.
6246
6247
6248 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
6249 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
6250
6251 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
6252 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N

6256 NetBSD Notes:
6257 =============
6258
6259 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6260 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6261
6262 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6263 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6264 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6265 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6266 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6267 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6268
6269 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6270 # mkdir powerpc
6271 # ln -s powerpc machine
6272 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6273 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6274
6275 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6276 and U-Boot include files.
6277
6278 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6279 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6280 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6281 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6282 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6283
6284
6285 Implementation Internals:
6286 =========================
6287
6288 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6289 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6290 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6291 hardware.
6292
6293
6294 Initial Stack, Global Data:
6295 ---------------------------
6296
6297 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6298 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6299 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6300 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6301 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6302 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6303 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6304 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6305 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6306 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6307
6308 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6309 U-Boot mailing list:
6310
6311 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6312 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>

6314 ...
6315
6316 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6317 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6318 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6319 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6320 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6321 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6322 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6323 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6324
6325 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6326 is another option for the system designer to use as an
6327 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6328 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6329 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6330 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6331 used.
6332
6333 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6334 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6335 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6336 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6337 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6338 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6339 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6340 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6341 you get the config right.

6345
6346 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6347 code for the initialization procedures:
6348
6349 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6350 to write it.
6351
6352 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6353 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6354 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6355
6356 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6357 that.
6358
6359 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6360 normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6361 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6362 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6363 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6364 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6365 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6366 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6367 reserve for this purpose.
6368
6369 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6370 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6371 GCC's implementation.
6372
6373 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6374 R1: stack pointer
6375 R2: reserved for system use
6376 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6377 R5-R10: parameter passing
6378 R13: small data area pointer
6379 R30: GOT pointer
6380 R31: frame pointer
6381
6382 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6383 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6384 going back and forth between asm and C)
6385
6386 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6387
6388 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6389 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6390 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6391 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6392 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6393 624 text + 127 data).
6394
6395 On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6396 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6397
6398 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6399
6400 On ARM, the following registers are used:
6401
6402 R0: function argument word/integer result
6403 R1-R3: function argument word
6404 R9: platform specific
6405 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6406 R11: argument (frame) pointer
6407 R12: temporary workspace
6408 R13: stack pointer
6409 R14: link register
6410 R15: program counter
6411
6412 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6413
6414 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6415
6416 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6417 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6418
6419 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6420
6421 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6422 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6423
6424 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6425
6426 R0-R1: argument/return
6427 R2-R5: argument
6428 R15: temporary register for assembler
6429 R16: trampoline register
6430 R28: frame pointer (FP)
6431 R29: global pointer (GP)
6432 R30: link register (LP)
6433 R31: stack pointer (SP)
6434 PC: program counter (PC)
6435
6436 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6437
6438 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6439 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6440
6441 Memory Management:
6442 ------------------
6443
6444 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6445 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6446
6447 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6448 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6449 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6450 physical memory banks.
6451
6452 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6453 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6454 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6455 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6456 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6457 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6458 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6459
6460 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6461 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6462
6463 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6464 this:
6465
6466 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6467 :
6468 0x0000 1FFF
6469 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6470 :
6471 :
6472
6473 :
6474 :
6475 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6476 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6477 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6478 :
6479 0x00FD FFFF
6480 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6481 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6482 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6483 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6484
6485
6486 System Initialization:
6487 ----------------------
6488
6489 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6490 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6491 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6492 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6493 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6494 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6495 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6496 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6497 the caches and the SIU.
6498
6499 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6500 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6501 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6502 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6503 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6504 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6505 banks.
6506
6507 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6508 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6509 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
6510 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6511 contiguous memory starting from 0.
6512
6513 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6514 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6515 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6516 pages, and the final stack is set up.
6517
6518 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6519 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6520 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6521 new address in RAM.

6598 Coding Standards:
6599 -----------------
6600
6601 All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6602 coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6603 "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6604
6605 Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6606 MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6607 reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6608 sources.
6609
6610 Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6611 Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6612 in your code.
6613
6614 Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6615 - remove any trailing white space
6616 - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6617 - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6618 - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6619 - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6620
6621 Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6622 with a request to reformat the changes.
6623
6624
6625 Submitting Patches:
6626 -------------------
6627
6628 Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6629 establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6630 may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6631
6632 Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6633
6634 Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6635 see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6636
6637 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6638 it:
6639
6640 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6641 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6642 patch actually fixes something.
6643
6644 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
6645 implementation.
6646
6647 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6648
6649 * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6650
6651 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6652 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6653
6654 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6655 document these in the README file.
6656
6657 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6658 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6659 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6660 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6661 with some other mail clients.
6662
6663 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6664 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6665 GNU diff.

6667 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6668 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6669 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6670 affected files).
6671
6672 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6673 and compressed attachments must not be used.
6674
6675 * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6676 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6677
6678 * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6679 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

6681
6682 Notes:
6683
6684 * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6685 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6686 for any of the boards.
6687
6688 * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6689 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6690 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6691
6692 * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6693 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6694 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6695 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6696 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6697 modification.
6698
6699 * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6700 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6701 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6702 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
