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 file to find out who contributed
38 the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
39 scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
40 companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.
41
42 Note: As of August, 2010, there is no longer a CHANGELOG file in the
43 actual U-Boot source tree; however, it can be created dynamically
44 from the Git log using:
45
46 make CHANGELOG

171
172 Software Configuration:
173 =======================
174
175 Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
176 rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
177
178 There are two classes of configuration variables:
179
180 * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
181 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
182 "CONFIG_".
183
184 * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
185 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
186 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
187 "CONFIG_SYS_".
188
189 Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
190 symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
191 U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
192 allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
193 build.
194
195
196 Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
197 ---------------------------------------------------
198
199 For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
200 configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
201
202 Example: For a TQM823L module type:
203
204 cd u-boot
205 make TQM823L_defconfig
206
207 Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
208 you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
209 doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
210
211 Sandbox Environment:
212 --------------------
213
214 U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
215 board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
216 specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
217 run some of U-Boot's tests.
218
219 See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
220
221
222 Board Initialisation Flow:
223 --------------------------
224
225 This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
226 SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
227
228 Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
229 more detail later in this file.
230
231 At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
232 and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
233 may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
234 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
235
236 Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
237 CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
238
239 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
240 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
241 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
242
243 and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
244 limitations of each of these functions are described below.
245
246 lowlevel_init():
247 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
248 - no global_data or BSS
249 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
250 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
251 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
252 board_init_f()
253 - this is almost never needed
254 - return normally from this function
255
256 board_init_f():
257 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
258 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
259 - global_data is available
260 - stack is in SRAM
261 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
262 only stack variables and global_data
263
264 Non-SPL-specific notes:
265 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
266 can do nothing
267
268 SPL-specific notes:
269 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
270 version as needed.
271 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
272 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
273 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
274 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
275 directly)
276
277 Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
278 this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
279 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
280 memory.
281
282 board_init_r():
283 - purpose: main execution, common code
284 - global_data is available
285 - SDRAM is available
286 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
287 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
288
289 Non-SPL-specific notes:
290 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
291 there.
292
293 SPL-specific notes:
294 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
295 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
296 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
297 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
298 spl_board_init() function containing this call
299 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
300
301
302
303 Configuration Options:
304 ----------------------
305
306 Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
307 such information is kept in a configuration file
308 "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
309
310 Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
311 "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
312
313
314 Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
315 kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
316 build a config tool - later.
317
318
319 The following options need to be configured:
320
321 - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
322
323 - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
324
325 - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
326 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
327
328 - Marvell Family Member
329 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
330 multiple fs option at one time
331 for marvell soc family
332
333 - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
334 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
335 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
336 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
337 reference PIT/RTC clock
338 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
339 or XTAL/EXTAL)
340
341 - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
342 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
343 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
344 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
345 See doc/README.MPC866
346
347 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
348
349 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
350 of relying on the correctness of the configured
351 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
352 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
353 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
354 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
355
356 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
357
358 Define this option if you want to enable the
359 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
360
361 - 85xx CPU Options:
362 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
363
364 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
365 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
366 compliance, among other possible reasons.
367
368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
369
370 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
371 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
372 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
373
374 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
375
376 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
377 tree nodes for the given platform.
378
379 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
380
381 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
382 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
383 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
384 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
385 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
386 purpose.
387
388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
389
390 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
391 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
393
394 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
395 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
396
397 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
398 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
399
400 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
401 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
402 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
403 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
404
405 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
406 this erratum.
407
408 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
409 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
410 required during NOR boot.
411
412 CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
413 Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
414 required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
415
416 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
417
418 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
419 according to the A004510 workaround.
420
421 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
422 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
423 connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
424
425 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
426 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
427 which is directly connected to the DSP core.
428
429 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
430 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
431 connected to the DSP core.
432
433 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
434 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
435
436 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
437 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
438 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
439 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
440
441 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
442 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
443 time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
444
445 CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
446 Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
447 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
448
449 - Generic CPU options:
450 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
451 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
452 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
453 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
454 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
455
456 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN

581 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
582
583 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
584 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
585
586 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
587
588 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
589 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
590 be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
591
592 - ARM options:
593 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
594
595 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
596 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
597
598 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
599
600 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
601 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
602 better code density. For ARM architectures that support
603 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
604 GCC.
605
606 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
607 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
608 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
609 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
610 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
611 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_773022
612 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_774769
613 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
614
615 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
616 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
617 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
618 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
619 set these options unless they apply!
620
621 COUNTER_FREQUENCY
622 Generic timer clock source frequency.
623
624 COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
625 Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
626 different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
627 at run time.
628
629 NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These
630 do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine
631 specific checks, but expect no product checks.
632 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973
633 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179
634 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766
635 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870
636 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_801819
637
638 - Tegra SoC options:
639 CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
640
641 Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
642 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
643 such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
644
645 - Linux Kernel Interface:
646 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
647
648 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
649 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
650 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
651 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
652 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
653 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
654 Linux kernel.
655 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
656 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
657 default environment.
658
659 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
660
661 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
662 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
663 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
664
665 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
666
667 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
668 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
669 concepts).
670
671 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
672 * New libfdt-based support
673 * Adds the "fdt" command
674 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
675
676 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
677 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
678 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
679 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
680 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
681 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
682
683 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
684 addresses
685
686 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
687
688 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
689 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
690
691 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
692
693 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
694 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
695 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
696 the kernel.
697
698 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
699
700 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
701 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
702 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
703 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
704 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
705 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
706
707 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
708
709 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
710 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
711 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
712 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
713 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
714 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
715 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
716
717 - vxWorks boot parameters:
718
719 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
720 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
721 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
722 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
723
724 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
725 the defaults discussed just above.
726
727 - Cache Configuration:
728 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
729 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
730 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
731
732 - Cache Configuration for ARM:
733 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
734 controller
735 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
736 controller register space
737
738 - Serial Ports:
739 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
740
741 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
742
743 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
744
745 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
746
747 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
748
749 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
750 the clock speed of the UARTs.
751
752 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
753
754 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
755 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
756 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
757
758 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
759
760 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
761 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
762
763 - Console Interface:
764 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
765 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
766 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
767 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
768
769 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
770 port routines must be defined elsewhere
771 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
772
773 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
774 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
775 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
776 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
777 (default big endian)
778 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
779 rectangle fill
780 (cf. smiLynxEM)
781 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
782 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
783 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns
784 (cols=pitch)
785 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows
786 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel
787 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format
788 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
789 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address
790 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct
791 (i.e. rx51_kp_init())
792 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct
793 (i.e. rx51_kp_tstc)
794 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
795 (i.e. rx51_kp_getc)
796 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
797 upper left corner
798 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
799 linux_logo.h for logo.
800 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
801 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
802 additional board info beside
803 the logo
804 CONFIG_HIDE_LOGO_VERSION
805 do not display bootloader
806 version string
807
808 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
809 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
810 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
811
812 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
813 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
814 environment 'console=serial'.
815
816 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
817 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
818 the "silent" environment variable. See
819 doc/README.silent for more information.
820
821 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
822 is 0x00.
823 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
824 is 0xa0.
825
826 - Console Baudrate:
827 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
828 Select one of the baudrates listed in
829 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
830 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
831
832 - Console Rx buffer length
833 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
834 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
835 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
836 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
837 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
838 the SMC.
839
840 - Pre-Console Buffer:
841 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
842 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
843 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
844 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
845 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
846 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
847 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
848 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
849 earlier bytes are discarded.
850
851 Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
852 stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
853
854 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
855 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
856
857 - Autoboot Command:
858 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
859 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
860 define a command string that is automatically executed
861 when no character is read on the console interface
862 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
863
864 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
865 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
866 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
867 environment value "bootargs".
868
869 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
870 The value of these goes into the environment as
871 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
872 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
873 RAM and NFS.
874
875 - Bootcount:
876 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
877 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
878 cycle, see:
879 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
880
881 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
882 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
883 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
884 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
885 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
886 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
887 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
888 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
889 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
890
891 - Pre-Boot Commands:
892 CONFIG_PREBOOT
893
894 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
895 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
896 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
897 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
898 entering interactive mode.
899
900 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
901 automatically generated or modified. For an example
902 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
903 modified when the user holds down a certain
904 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
905 booting the systems
906
907 - Serial Download Echo Mode:
908 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
909 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
910 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
911 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
912 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
913 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
914 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
915
916 - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
917 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
918 Select one of the baudrates listed in
919 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
920
921 - Monitor Functions:
922 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
923 from the build by using the #include files
924 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
925 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.
926
927 The default command configuration includes all commands
928 except those marked below with a "*".

1038 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1039 support you can write:
1040
1041 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1042 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1043
1044 Other Commands:
1045 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1046
1047 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1048 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1049 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1050 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1051 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1052 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1053 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1054 initial stack and some data.
1055
1056
1057 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1058
1059 - Removal of commands
1060 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
1061 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
1062 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
1063 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
1064 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
1065 simple boot procedures.
1066
1067 - Regular expression support:
1068 CONFIG_REGEX
1069 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1070 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1071 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1072 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1073
1074 - Device tree:
1075 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1076 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1077 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1078 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1079 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1080 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1081
1082 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1083 be done using one of the two options below:
1084
1085 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1086 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1087 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1088 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1089 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1090 the global data structure as gd->blob.
1091
1092 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1093 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1094 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1095 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1096
1097 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1098
1099 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1100 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1101 still use the individual files if you need something more
1102 exotic.
1103
1104 - Watchdog:
1105 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1106 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1107 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1108 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1109 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1110 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1111 available, then no further board specific code should
1112 be needed to use it.
1113
1114 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1115 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1116 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1117 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1118
1119 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1120 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1121
1122 - U-Boot Version:
1123 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1124 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1125 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1126 version as printed by the "version" command.
1127 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1128 next reset.
1129
1130 - Real-Time Clock:
1131
1132 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1133 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1134 following options:
1135
1136 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1137 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1138 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

1148 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1149 RV3029 RTC.
1150
1151 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1152 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1153
1154 - GPIO Support:
1155 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1156
1157 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1158 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1159 pins supported by a particular chip.
1160
1161 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1162 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1163
1164 - I/O tracing:
1165 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1166 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1167 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1168 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1169 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1170 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1171 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1172 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1173
1174 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1175 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1176 still continue to operate.
1177
1178 iotrace is enabled
1179 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1180 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)

1185
1186 - Timestamp Support:
1187
1188 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1189 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1190 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1191 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .

1199 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1200 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1201 disk/part_efi.c
1202 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
1203
1204 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1205 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1206 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1207
1208 - IDE Reset method:

1210 board configurations files but used nowhere!
1211
1212 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1213 be performed by calling the function
1214 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1215 which has to be defined in a board specific file

1240 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1241 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1242 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1243 devices.
1244 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1245

1327 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1328 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1329 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1330 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1331 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1332 control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1333 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.

1443
1444 - USB Device:
1445 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1446 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1447 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1448 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1449 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1450 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1451 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1452 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1453 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1454 a Linux host by
1455 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1456 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1457 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1458 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1459
1460 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1461 Define this to build a UDC device
1462
1463 CONFIG_USB_TTY
1464 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1465 talk to the UDC device
1466
1467 CONFIG_USBD_HS
1468 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1469 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1470 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1471 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1472 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1473 speed.
1474
1475 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1476 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to

1484 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1485 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1486 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1487 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1488 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1489 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1490
1491 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER

1504
1505 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1506 Define this as the unique Product ID
1507 for your device
1508 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1509
1510 - ULPI Layer Support:
1511 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1512 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1513 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1514 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1515 viewport is supported.
1516 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1517 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1518 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1519 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1520 the appropriate value in Hz.
1521
1522 - MMC Support:
1523 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1524 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1525 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1526 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is

1551 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1552
1553 CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1554 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1555 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1556 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1557 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1558
1559 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1560 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1561
1562 CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1563 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1564
1565 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1566 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1567 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1568 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1569 one that would help mostly the developer.
1570
1571 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1572 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1573 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1574 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1575 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1576
1577 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1578 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1579 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1580 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1581 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1582 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1583
1584 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1585 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1586 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1587 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1588
1589 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1590 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1591 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1592 sending again an USB request to the device.
1593

1611 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1612 downloaded images.
1613
1614 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1615 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1616 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1617 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1618
1619 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1620 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing

1628
1629 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1630 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1631 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1632 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1633 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1634 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1635 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1636 The default is "gpt" if undefined.
1637
1638 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1639 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1640 image to DOS MBR.
1641 This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1642 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1643 If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.
1644
1645 - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1646 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND
1647 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1648
1649 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1650 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1651 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1652
1653 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1654 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1655
1656 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1657 file in FAT formatted partition.
1658
1659 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1660 user to write files to FAT.
1661
1662 CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1663 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS
1664
1665 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1666 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1667 and cbfsload.
1668
1669 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1670 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1671
1672 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1673 a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1674
1675 - Keyboard Support:
1676 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1677
1678 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1679
1680 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1681 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1682 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1683 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1684 instead.
1685
1686 - Video support:
1687 CONFIG_VIDEO
1688
1689 Define this to enable video support (for output to
1690 video).
1691
1692 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1693
1694 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1695
1696 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1697 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1698 video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1699 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1700 assumed.
1701
1702 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1703 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1704 are possible:
1705 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1706 Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
1707
1708 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1709 -------------+---------------------------------------------
1710 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307
1711 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319
1712 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A
1713 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
1714 -------------+---------------------------------------------
1715 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1716
1717 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1718 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1719
1720
1721 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1722 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1723 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1724 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1725
1726 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1727 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1728 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1729 support, and should also define these other macros:
1730
1731 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1732 CONFIG_VIDEO
1733 CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1734 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1735 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1736 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1737 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1738 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1739
1740 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1741 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1742 boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
1743 description of this variable.
1744
1745 - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1746
1747 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1748 display); also select one of the supported displays
1749 by defining one of these:
1750
1751 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1752
1753 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1754
1755 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1756
1757 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1758
1759 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1760
1761 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1762 Active, color, single scan.
1763
1764 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1765
1766 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1767 Active, color, single scan.
1768
1769 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1770
1771 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1772 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1773
1774 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1775
1776 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1777 Active, color, single scan.
1778
1779 CONFIG_HLD1045
1780
1781 HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1782 Active, color, single scan.
1783
1784 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1785
1786 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1787 or
1788 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
1789 or
1790 Hitachi SP14Q002
1791
1792 320x240. Black & white.
1793
1794 Normally display is black on white background; define
1795 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1796
1797 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1798
1799 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1800 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1801 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1802 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1803 a per-section basis.
1804
1805 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1806
1807 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1808 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1809 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1810 is slow.
1811
1812 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1813
1814 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1815 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1816 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1817 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1818 printed out.
1819 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1820 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1821 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1822 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1823 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1824 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1825 1 = 90 degree rotation
1826 2 = 180 degree rotation
1827 3 = 270 degree rotation
1828
1829 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1830 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1831
1832 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1833
1834 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1835
1836 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1837
1838 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1839 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1840
1841 - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1842
1843 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1844 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1845 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1846 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1847 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1848 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1849 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1850 loaded very quickly after power-on.
1851
1852 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1853
1854 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1855 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1856 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
1857 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1858 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1859 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1860 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1861 there is no need to set this option.
1862
1863 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1864
1865 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1866 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1867 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1868 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1869 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1870 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1871
1872 Example:
1873 setenv splashpos m,m
1874 => image at center of screen
1875
1876 setenv splashpos 30,20
1877 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1878
1879 setenv splashpos -10,m
1880 => vertically centered image
1881 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1882
1883 - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1884
1885 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1886 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1887 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1888
1889 - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1890
1891 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1892 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1893 bmp command.
1894
1895 - Do compressing for memory range:
1896 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1897
1898 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1899 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1900
1901 - Compression support:
1902 CONFIG_GZIP
1903
1904 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1905
1906 CONFIG_BZIP2
1907
1908 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1909 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1910 compressed images are supported.
1911
1912 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1913 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1914 be at least 4MB.
1915
1916 CONFIG_LZMA
1917
1918 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1919 images is included.
1920
1921 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1922 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1923 formula:
1924
1925 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1926
1927 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1928 and Literal pos bits.
1929
1930 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1931 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1932 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1933 a very small buffer.
1934
1935 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1936 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1937 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1938
1939 CONFIG_LZO
1940
1941 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1942 is included.
1943
1944 - MII/PHY support:
1945 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1946
1947 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1948
1949 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1950
1951 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1952
1953 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1954
1955 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1956 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1957
1958 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1959
1960 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1961 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1962 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1963 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1964
1965 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1966
1967 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1968 command issued before MII status register can be read
1969
1970 - IP address:
1971 CONFIG_IPADDR
1972
1973 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1974 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1975 determined through e.g. bootp.
1976 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
1977
1978 - Server IP address:
1979 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1980
1981 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1982 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1983 (Environment variable "serverip")
1984
1985 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1986
1987 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1988 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1989
1990 - Gateway IP address:
1991 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1992
1993 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1994 default router where packets to other networks are
1995 sent to.
1996 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1997
1998 - Subnet mask:
1999 CONFIG_NETMASK
2000
2001 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2002 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2003 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2004 forwarded through a router.
2005 (Environment variable "netmask")
2006
2007 - Multicast TFTP Mode:
2008 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2009
2010 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2011 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
2012 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
2013 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2014 multicast group.
2015
2016 - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2017 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2018
2019 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2020 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2021 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2022 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2023 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2024 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2025 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2026 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
2027 following delays are inserted then:
2028
2029 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2030 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2031 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2032 4th and following
2033 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2034
2035 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2036
2037 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2038 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2039 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2040 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2041 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2042 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2043 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2044 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2045 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2046 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2047 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2048 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2049 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2050 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2051 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2052
2053 - DHCP Advanced Options:
2054 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2055 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2056
2057 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2058 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2059 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2060 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2061 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2062 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2063 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2064 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
2065 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2066 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2067 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2068 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2069 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
2070
2071 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2072 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
2073
2074 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2075 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2076 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2077 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2078 is not available.
2079
2080 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2081 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2082 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2083 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2084 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2085 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2086 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2087 is defined.
2088
2089 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2090 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2091 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
2092 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
2093 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2094 option 12 to the DHCP server.
2095
2096 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2097
2098 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2099 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2100 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2101 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2102 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2103 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2104 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2105 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2106 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2107 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2108 this delay.
2109
2110 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2111 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2112 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2113 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2114 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2115
2116 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
2117
2118 - CDP Options:
2119 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2120
2121 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2122
2123 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2124
2125 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2126 of the device.
2127
2128 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2129
2130 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2131 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2132 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2133
2134 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2135
2136 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2137 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2138
2139 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
2140
2141 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2142
2143 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
2144
2145 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2146
2147 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
2148
2149 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2150
2151 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2152
2153 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2154 device in .1 of milliwatts.
2155
2156 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2157
2158 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2159
2160 - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2161
2162 Several configurations allow to display the current
2163 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2164 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2165 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2166 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2167 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2168 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2169 feature in U-Boot.
2170
2171 Additional options:
2172
2173 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2174 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2175 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2176 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2177 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2178
2179 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2180 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2181 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2182 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2183 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2184 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2185
2186 - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2187
2188 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2189 on those systems that support this (optional)
2190 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2191
2192 - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2193
2194 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2195 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2196 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2197 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2198 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2199 interface.
2200

2221 bus.
2222 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define
2223 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset

2332
2333 additional defines:
2334
2335 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2336 Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use.
2337
2338 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2339 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2340 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2341 omit this define.
2342
2343 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2344 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2345 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2346 define.
2347
2348 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2349 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2350 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2351 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2352 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2353
2354 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2355 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2356 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2357 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2358 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2359 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2360 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2361 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2362 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2363 }
2364
2365 which defines
2366 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2367 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1

2376 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2377
2378 - Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2379
2380 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2381 provides the following compelling advantages:
2382
2383 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2384 - approved multibus support
2385 - better i2c mux support
2386
2387 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2388
2389 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2390 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2391 for the selected CPU.
2392
2393 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2394 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2395 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2396 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2397 command line interface.
2398
2399 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2400
2401 There are several other quantities that must also be
2402 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2403
2404 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2405 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2406 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2407 the CPU's i2c node address).
2408
2409 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2410 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2411 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2412 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2413 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2414
2415 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2416
2417 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2418 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2419 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2420 commands until the slave device responds.
2421
2422 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2423
2424 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2425 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2426 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2427
2428 I2C_INIT
2429
2430 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2431 controller or configure ports.
2432
2433 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2434
2435 I2C_PORT
2436
2437 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2438 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2439 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2440
2441 I2C_ACTIVE
2442
2443 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2444 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2445 define can be null.
2446
2447 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2448
2449 I2C_TRISTATE
2450
2451 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2452 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2453 define can be null.
2454
2455 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2456
2457 I2C_READ
2458
2459 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2460 false if it is low.
2461
2462 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2463
2464 I2C_SDA(bit)
2465
2466 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2467 is false, it clears it (low).
2468
2469 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2470 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2471 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2472
2473 I2C_SCL(bit)
2474
2475 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2476 is false, it clears it (low).
2477
2478 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2479 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2480 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2481
2482 I2C_DELAY
2483
2484 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2485 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2486 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2487 like:
2488
2489 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2490
2491 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2492
2493 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2494 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2495 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2496 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2497
2498 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2499 the generic GPIO functions.
2500
2501 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2502
2503 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2504 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2505 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2506 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2507 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2508 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2509 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2510 is run early in the boot sequence.
2511
2512 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2513
2514 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2515 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2516 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2517 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2518 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2519 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2520 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2521 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2522
2523 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2524
2525 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2526 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2527 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2528
2529 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2530
2531 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2532 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2533 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2534 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2535
2536 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2537
2538 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2539 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2540 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2541 a 1D array of device addresses
2542
2543 e.g.
2544 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2545 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2546
2547 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2548
2549 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2550 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2551
2552 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2553
2554 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2555
2556 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2557 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2558
2559 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2560
2561 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2562 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2563
2564 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2565
2566 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2567 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2568
2569 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2570
2571 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2572 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2573 specified DTT device.
2574
2575 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2576
2577 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2578 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2579 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2580 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2581 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2582 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2583 the other.
2584
2585 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2586
2587 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2588 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2589 D/As on the SACSng board)
2590
2591 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2592
2593 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2594 only SH7757 is supported.
2595
2596 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2597
2598 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2599 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2600 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2601 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2602 defined, the board configuration must define several
2603 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2604 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2605
2606 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2607
2608 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2609 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2610 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2611 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2612 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2613
2614 CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2615
2616 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2617 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2618
2619 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2620 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2621 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
2622
2623 - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2624
2625 Enables FPGA subsystem.
2626
2627 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2628
2629 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2630 (ALTERA, XILINX)
2631
2632 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2633
2634 Enables support for FPGA family.
2635 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2636
2637 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2638
2639 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2640
2641 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2642
2643 Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2644
2645 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2646
2647 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2648
2649 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2650
2651 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2652 (Xilinx only)
2653
2654 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2655
2656 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2657
2658 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2659
2660 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2661 status by the configuration function. This option
2662 will require a board or device specific function to
2663 be written.
2664
2665 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2666
2667 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2668 configuration driver.
2669
2670 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2671 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2672
2673 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2674
2675 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2676 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2677 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2678 indicated a CRC error).
2679
2680 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2681
2682 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2683 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2684 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2685 ms.
2686
2687 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2688
2689 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2690 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2691
2692 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2693
2694 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2695 200 ms.
2696
2697 - Configuration Management:
2698 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2699
2700 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2701 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2702 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2703 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2704 make / buildman.
2705
2706 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2707
2708 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2709 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2710
2711 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2712
2713 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2714 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2715 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2716 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2717 protects these variables from casual modification by
2718 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2719 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2720 change this behaviour:
2721
2722 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2723 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2724 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2725 these parameters.
2726
2727 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2728 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2729 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2730 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2731 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2732 read-only.]
2733
2734 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2735 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2736 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2737 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2738
2739 - Protected RAM:
2740 CONFIG_PRAM
2741
2742 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2743 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2744 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2745 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2746 this default value by defining an environment
2747 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2748 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2749 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2750 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2751 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2752 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2753 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2754
2755 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2756 saveenv
2757
2758 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2759 either, which results in a memory region that will
2760 not be affected by reboots.
2761
2762 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2763 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2764 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2765 following board configurations are known to be
2766 "pRAM-clean":
2767
2768 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2769 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2770 FLAGADM, TQM8260
2771
2772 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2773 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2774 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2775 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2776 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2777 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2778 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2779
2780 - Error Recovery:
2781 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2782
2783 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2784 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2785 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2786 system where you want the system to reboot
2787 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2788 useful during development since you can try to debug
2789 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2790
2791 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2792
2793 This variable defines the number of retries for
2794 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2795 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2796 default value of 5 is used.
2797
2798 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2799
2800 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2801
2802 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2803
2804 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2805 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2806 try longer timeout such as
2807 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2808
2809 - Command Interpreter:
2810 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2811
2812 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2813
2814 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2815
2816 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2817 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2818 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2819
2820 Note:
2821
2822 In the current implementation, the local variables
2823 space and global environment variables space are
2824 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2825 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2826 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2827 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2828 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2829
2830 Global environment variables are those you use
2831 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2832 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2833 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2834
2835 To store commands and special characters in a
2836 variable, please use double quotation marks
2837 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2838 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2839 symbols.
2840
2841 - Command Line Editing and History:
2842 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2843
2844 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2845 command line input operations
2846
2847 - Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2848 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2849
2850 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2851 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2852 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2853 and PS2.
2854
2855 - Default Environment:
2856 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2857
2858 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2859 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2860 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2861
2862 For example, place something like this in your
2863 board's config file:
2864
2865 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2866 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2867 "myvar2=value2\0"
2868
2869 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2870 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2871 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2872 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2873 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2874 You better know what you are doing here.
2875
2876 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2877 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2878 the environment like the "source" command or the
2879 boot command first.
2880
2881 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2882
2883 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2884 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2885 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2886
2887 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2888
2889 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2890 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2891 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2892 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2893 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2894
2895 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2896
2897 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2898 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2899 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2900
2901 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2902
2903 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2904 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2905 that so that the environment is not available until
2906 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2907 this is instead controlled by the value of
2908 /config/load-environment.
2909
2910 - Parallel Flash support:
2911 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
2912
2913 Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
2914 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2915 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2916 parallel flash.
2917
2918 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2919 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2920 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2921 flash API (see include/flash.h).
2922
2923 - DataFlash Support:
2924 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2925
2926 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2927 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2928 commands cp, md...
2929
2930 - Serial Flash support
2931 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2932
2933 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2934 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2935
2936 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2937 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2938 commands.
2939
2940 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2941 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2942 flash is present on the system.
2943
2944 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2945 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2946 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2947 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2948
2949 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2950
2951 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2952 test ('sf test').
2953
2954 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2955
2956 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2957 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2958 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
2959
2960 - SystemACE Support:
2961 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2962
2963 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2964 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2965 of the chip must also be defined in the
2966 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2967
2968 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2969 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2970
2971 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2972 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2973
2974 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2975 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2976
2977 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2978 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2979 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2980 number generator is used.
2981
2982 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2983 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2984 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2985
2986 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2987 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2988 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2989 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2990 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2991 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2992 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2993
2994 - Hashing support:
2995 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2996
2997 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2998 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2999
3000 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3001
3002 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3003 size a little.
3004
3005 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3006 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3007 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3008 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3009 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3010 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3011 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3012 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3013 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3014 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3015 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3016 is performed in hardware.
3017
3018 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3019 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3020
3021 - Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3022 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3023 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3024 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3025
3026 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3027 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3028 a boot from specific media.
3029
3030 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3031 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3032 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3033 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3034 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3035
3036 - bootcount support:
3037 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3038
3039 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3040 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3041
3042 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3043 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3044 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3045 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3046 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3047 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3048 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3049 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3050 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3051 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3052 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3053 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3054 the bootcounter.
3055 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3056
3057 - Show boot progress:
3058 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3059
3060 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3061 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3062 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3063 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3064 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3065 the following checkpoints are implemented:
3066
3067

3220
3221 - legacy image format:
3222 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3223 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3224
3225 Default:
3226 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3227
3228 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3229 disable the legacy image format
3230
3231 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3232 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3233
3234 - FIT image support:
3235 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3236 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3237 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3238 with this option.
3239
3240 TODO(sjg@chromium.org): Adjust this option to be positive,
3241 and move it to Kconfig
3242
3243 - Standalone program support:
3244 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3245
3246 This option defines a board specific value for the
3247 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3248 overwriting the architecture dependent default
3249 settings.
3250
3251 - Frame Buffer Address:
3252 CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3253
3254 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3255 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3256 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3257 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3258 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3259 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3260 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3261 configured panel size.
3262
3263 Please see board_init_f function.
3264
3265 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3266 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3267 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3268 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3269
3270 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3271 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3272
3273 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3274 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3275
3276 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3277 Needed for mtdparts command support.
3278
3279 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3280
3281 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3282 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3283
3284 - UBI support
3285 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3286
3287 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3288 with the UBI flash translation layer
3289
3290 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3291
3292 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3293
3294 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3295 warnings and errors enabled.
3296
3297
3298 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3299 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3300 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3301 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3302 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3303 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3304
3305 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3306 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3307 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3308 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3309 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3310
3311 default: 4096
3312
3313 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3314 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3315 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3316 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3317 flash), this value is ignored.
3318
3319 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3320 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3321 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3322 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3323 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3324 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3325
3326 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3327 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3328 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3329 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3330 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3331 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3332 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3333 partition.
3334
3335 default: 20
3336
3337 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3338 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3339 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3340 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3341 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3342 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3343 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3344 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3345 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3346 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3347 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3348 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3349
3350 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3351 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3352 without a fastmap.
3353 default: 0
3354
3355 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3356 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3357 default: 0
3358
3359 - UBIFS support
3360 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3361
3362 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3363 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3364
3365 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3366
3367 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3368
3369 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3370 warnings and errors enabled.
3371
3372 - SPL framework
3373 CONFIG_SPL
3374 Enable building of SPL globally.
3375
3376 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3377 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3378
3379 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3380 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3381 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3382 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3383 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3384 must not be both defined at the same time.
3385
3386 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3387 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3388 linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3389 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3390 not exceed it.
3391
3392 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3393 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3394
3395 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3396 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
3397 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3398
3399 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3400 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3401
3402 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3403 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3404 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3405 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3406 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3407 must not be both defined at the same time.
3408
3409 CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3410 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3411
3412 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3413 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3414 loaded does not have a signature.
3415 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3416 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3417 will be caught.
3418 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3419 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3420 and thus should be skipped silently.
3421
3422 CONFIG_SPL_ABORT_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3423 When defined, SPL will proceed to another boot method
3424 if the image it has loaded does not have a signature.
3425
3426 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3427 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3428 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
3429 CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3430
3431 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3432 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3433 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3434 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3435 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3436
3437 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3438 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3439
3440 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3441 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework
3442 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3443 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3444
3445 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3446 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3447 See also: doc/README.falcon
3448
3449 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3450 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3451 about the running system.
3452
3453 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
3454 Arch init code should be built for a very small image
3455
3456 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR,
3457 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS,
3458 Address and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from
3459 when the MMC is being used in raw mode.

3463 used in raw mode
3464
3465 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3466 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3467 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)

3471 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
3472 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
3473 (for falcon mode)
3474
3475 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
3476 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3477 used in fs mode
3478
3479 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
3480 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
3481
3482 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
3483 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
3484 from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3485
3486 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
3487 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
3488 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3489
3490 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3491 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3492 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3493 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3494 loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3495
3496 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3497 Avoid SPL relocation
3498
3499 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3500 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires
3501 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
3502
3503 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
3504 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.
3505
3506 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
3507 Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3508
3509 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE
3510 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that
3511 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3512
3513 CONFIG_SPL_UBI
3514 Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
3515 loader
3516
3517 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3518 Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3519 if you need to save space.
3520
3521 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3522 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3523 SPL binary.
3524
3525 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3526 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3527 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3528 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3529 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3530 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3531 to read U-Boot
3532
3533 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3534 Add support NAND boot
3535
3536 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3537 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3538
3539 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3540 Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3541
3542 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3543 Size of image to load
3544
3545 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3546 Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3547
3548 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3549 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3550 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3551
3552 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3553 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3554 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3555
3556 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3557 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3558
3559 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3560 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3561 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3562 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3563 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3564 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3565
3566 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3567 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3568 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3569 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3570
3571 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3572 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3573 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3574 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3575 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3576
3577 - TPL framework
3578 CONFIG_TPL
3579 Enable building of TPL globally.
3580
3581 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3582 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3583 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3584 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3585 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3586 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3587
3588 - Interrupt support (PPC):
3589
3590 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3591 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3592 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3593 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3594 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3595 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3596 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3597 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3598 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3599 general timer_interrupt().
3600
3601
3602 Board initialization settings:
3603 ------------------------------
3604
3605 During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3606 to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3607 before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3608 following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3609 architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3610 typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3611
3612 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3613 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3614 - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3615 - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3616
3617 Configuration Settings:
3618 -----------------------
3619
3620 - CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3621 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3622
3623 - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3624 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3625
3626 - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3627 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3628
3629 - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3630 prompt for user input.
3631
3632 - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
3633
3634 - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
3635
3636 - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3637
3638 - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3639 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3640 booted
3641
3642 - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3643 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3644
3645 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3646 Suppress display of console information at boot.
3647
3648 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3649 If the board specific function
3650 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3651 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3652 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3653
3654 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3655 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3656
3657 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3658 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3659
3660 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3661 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3662 simple memory test.
3663
3664 - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3665 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3666
3667 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3668 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3669 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3670
3671 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3672 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
3673 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3674 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3675 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3676 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3677 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3678 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3679
3680 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3681 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3682 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3683 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3684 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3685 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3686 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3687 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3688 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3689 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3690
3691 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3692 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3693 be touched.
3694
3695 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3696 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3697 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3698 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3699 problems.
3700
3701 - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3702 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3703
3704 - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3705 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3706
3707 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3708 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3709
3710 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3711 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3712 make config files to be same as the text base address
3713 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3714 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3715
3716 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3717 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3718 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3719 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3720 flash sector.
3721
3722 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3723 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3724
3725 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3726 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3727 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3728 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3729 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3730 space.
3731
3732 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3733 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3734 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3735 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3736 U-Boot relocates itself.
3737
3738 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3739 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3740 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3741 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3742
3743 - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3744 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3745 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3746 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3747 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3748 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3749 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3750 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3751 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3752 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3753 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3754 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3755 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3756 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3757 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3758 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3759
3760 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3761
3762 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3763 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3764 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3765 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3766 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3767
3768 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3769 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3770 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3771 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3772 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3773 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3774 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3775 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
3776 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3777 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3778 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3779
3780 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3781 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3782 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3783 is enabled.
3784
3785 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3786 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3787 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3788
3789 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3790 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3791 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3792
3793 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3794 Max number of Flash memory banks
3795
3796 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3797 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3798
3799 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3800 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3801
3802 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3803 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3804
3805 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3806 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3807
3808 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3809 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3810
3811 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3812 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3813 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3814
3815 - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3816
3817 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3818 without this option such a download has to be
3819 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3820 copy from RAM to flash.
3821
3822 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3823 you can check if the download worked before you erase
3824 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3825 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3826 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3827
3828 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3829 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3830 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3831
3832 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3833 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3834 in the drivers directory
3835
3836 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3837 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3838 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3839 to the MTD layer.
3840
3841 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3842 Use buffered writes to flash.
3843
3844 - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3845 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3846 write commands.
3847
3848 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3849 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3850 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3851 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3852 optionally available.
3853
3854 - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3855 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3856 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3857 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3858
3859 - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3860 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3861 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3862 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3863 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3864 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3865 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3866 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3867
3868 - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3869 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3870 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3871 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3872 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3873 on high Ethernet traffic.
3874 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3875
3876 - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3877
3878 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3879 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3880 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3881 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3882 lib/hashtable.c for details.
3883
3884 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3885 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3886 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3887 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3888 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3889 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3890
3891 The format of the list is:
3892 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3893 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
3894 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
3895 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3896 list = entry[,list]
3897
3898 The type attributes are:
3899 s - String (default)
3900 d - Decimal
3901 x - Hexadecimal
3902 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3903 i - IP address
3904 m - MAC address
3905
3906 The access attributes are:
3907 a - Any (default)
3908 r - Read-only
3909 o - Write-once
3910 c - Change-default
3911
3912 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3913 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3914 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3915
3916 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3917 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3918 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3919 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3920 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3921 ".flags" variable.
3922
3923 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3924 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3925 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3926
3927 - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3928 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3929 access flags.
3930
3931 - CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3932 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3933 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3934 the value can be calculated on a given board.
3935
3936 - CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3937 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3938 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3939 building U-Boot to enable this.
3940
3941 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3942 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3943 following configurations:
3944
3945 - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3946
3947 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3948 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3949
3950 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3951
3952 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3953
3954 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3955 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3956 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3957 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3958 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3959 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3960 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3961 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3962 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3963 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3964 between U-Boot and the environment.
3965
3966 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3967
3968 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3969 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3970 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3971 for this sector is given here.
3972
3973 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3974
3975 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3976
3977 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3978 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3979 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3980
3981 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3982
3983 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3984
3985
3986 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3987 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3988 the environment.
3989
3990 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3991
3992 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3993 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3994 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3995 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3996
3997 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3998 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3999 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4000 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4001 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4002 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4003 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4004 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4005 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4006
4007 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4008 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4009
4010 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4011 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4012 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4013 a "saveenv" operation.
4014
4015 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4016 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4017 accordingly!
4018
4019
4020 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4021
4022 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4023 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4024 environment.
4025
4026 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4027 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4028
4029 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4030 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4031 can just be read and written to, without any special
4032 provision.
4033
4034 BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4035 in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4036 console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4037 U-Boot will hang.
4038
4039 Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4040 environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4041 keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4042 to save the current settings.
4043
4044
4045 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4046
4047 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4048 device and a driver for it.
4049
4050 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4051 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4052
4053 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4054 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4055
4056 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4057 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4058 The default address is zero.
4059
4060 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4061 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4062
4063 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4064 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4065 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4066 would require six bits.
4067
4068 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4069 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4070 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
4071
4072 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4073 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4074 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4075
4076 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4077 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4078 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4079 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4080 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4081 byte chips.
4082
4083 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4084 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4085 in the chip address.
4086
4087 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4088 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4089
4090 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4091 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4092 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4093
4094 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4095 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4096 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4097 EEPROM. For example:
4098
4099 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
4100
4101 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4102 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4103
4104 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4105
4106 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4107 want to use for the environment.
4108
4109 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4110 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4111 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4112
4113 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4114 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4115 at the specified address.
4116
4117 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4118
4119 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4120 want to use for the environment.
4121
4122 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4123 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4124
4125 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4126 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4127 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4128
4129 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4130
4131 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4132
4133 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4134
4135 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4136 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4137 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4138 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
4139 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4140
4141 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4142 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4143
4144 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4145
4146 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4147
4148 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4149
4150 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4151
4152 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4153
4154 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4155
4156 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4157 want to use for the local device's environment.
4158
4159 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4160 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4161
4162 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4163 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4164 local device can get the environment from remote memory
4165 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4166
4167 BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4168 "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4169 environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4170 but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4171
4172 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4173
4174 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4175 for the environment.
4176
4177 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4178 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4179
4180 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4181 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4182 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4183
4184 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4185
4186 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4187 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4188 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4189 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
4190 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4191
4192 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4193
4194 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4195 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4196 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4197 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4198 the range to be avoided.
4199
4200 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4201
4202 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4203 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4204 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4205 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4206 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4207
4208 - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4209
4210 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4211 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4212 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4213
4214 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4215
4216 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4217 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4218 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4219
4220 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4221
4222 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4223
4224 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4225
4226 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4227 environment in.
4228
4229 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4230
4231 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4232 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4233 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4234
4235 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4236 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4237
4238 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4239 when storing the env in UBI.
4240
4241 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4242 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4243
4244 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4245
4246 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4247
4248 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4249
4250 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4251 be as following:
4252
4253 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4254 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4255 partition table.
4256 - "D:0": device D.
4257 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4258 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4259 table.
4260 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4261 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4262 partition table then means device D.
4263
4264 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4265
4266 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4267 environment.
4268
4269 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4270 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4271
4272 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4273
4274 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4275 environment.
4276
4277 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4278
4279 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4280
4281 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4282
4283 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4284 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4285 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4286
4287 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4288 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4289
4290 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4291 area within the specified MMC device.
4292
4293 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4294 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4295 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4296 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4297 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4298 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4299 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4300
4301 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4302 MMC sector boundary.
4303
4304 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4305
4306 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4307 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4308 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4309 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4310
4311 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4312 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4313
4314 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4315 an MMC sector boundary.
4316
4317 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4318
4319 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4320 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4321 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4322
4323 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4324
4325 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4326 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4327 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4328 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4329 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4330 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4331 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4332
4333 Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4334 has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4335 created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4336 until then to read environment variables.
4337
4338 The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4339 is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4340 with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4341 necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4342 "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4343 have any device yet where we could complain.]
4344
4345 Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4346 the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4347 use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4348
4349 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4350 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4351
4352 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4353 also needs to be defined.
4354
4355 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4356 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4357
4358 - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4359 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4360 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4361 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4362 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4363 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4364
4365 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4366 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4367 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4368 to do this.
4369
4370 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4371 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4372 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4373 present.
4374
4375 - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4376 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4377 build system checks that the actual size does not
4378 exceed it.
4379
4380 Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4381 ---------------------------------------------------
4382
4383 - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4384 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4385
4386 - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4387 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4388
4389 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4390 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4391 the IMMR register after a reset.
4392
4393 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4394 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4395 PowerPC SOCs.
4396
4397 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4398 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4399 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4400
4401 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4402 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4403
4404 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4405 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4406 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
4407 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
4408 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4409 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4410 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4411
4412 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4413 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4414
4415 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4416 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4417 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
4418 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4419 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4420
4421 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4422 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4423 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4424 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4425
4426 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4427 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4428 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4429
4430 - Floppy Disk Support:
4431 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4432
4433 the default drive number (default value 0)
4434
4435 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4436
4437 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4438 (default value 1)
4439
4440 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4441
4442 defines the offset of register from address. It
4443 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4444 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4445
4446 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4447 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4448 default value.
4449
4450 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4451 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4452 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4453 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4454 initializations.
4455
4456 - CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4457 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4458 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4459 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4460 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4461 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4462 is required.
4463
4464 - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4465 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4466 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4467
4468 - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4469
4470 Start address of memory area that can be used for
4471 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4472 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4473 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4474 will become available only after programming the
4475 memory controller and running certain initialization
4476 sequences.
4477
4478 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4479 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4480 - MPC824X: data cache
4481 - PPC4xx: data cache
4482
4483 - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4484
4485 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4486 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4487 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4488 data is located at the end of the available space
4489 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4490 GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4491 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4492 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4493
4494 Note:
4495 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4496 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4497 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4498 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4499 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4548
4549 - CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4550 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post

4565 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4566 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4567 required.
4568
4569 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4570 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4571 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4572 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4573 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4574 by coreboot or similar.
4575
4576 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4577 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4578

4601 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4602 a 16 bit bus.
4603 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4604 Example of drivers that use it:
4605 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4606 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4607
4608 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG

4622 to something your driver can deal with.
4623
4624 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4625 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4626 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4627 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4628 header files or board specific files.
4629
4630 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4631 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.

4637 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4638
4639 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4640 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4641 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4642
4643 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4644 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4645
4646 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4647 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4648 to the given FEC; i. e.
4649 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4650 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4651
4652 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4653
4654 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4655 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4656 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4657
4658 - CONFIG_RMII
4659 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4660 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4661 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4662
4663 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4664 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4665 The syntax is:
4666
4667 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4668
4669 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4670 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4671 area should have.
4672
4673 - CONFIG_LOOPW
4674 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4675 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4676
4677 - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4678 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4679 "md/mw" commands.
4680 Examples:
4681
4682 => mdc.b 10 4 500
4683 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4684
4685 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4686 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4687
4688 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4689 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4690
4691 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4692 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4693 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4694 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4695 relocate itself into RAM.
4696
4697 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4698 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4699 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4700 these initializations itself.
4701
4702 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4703 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4704 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4705 instruction cache) is still performed.
4706
4707 - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4708 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4709 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4710 compiling a NAND SPL.
4711
4712 - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4713 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4714 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4715 It is loaded by the SPL.
4716
4717 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4718 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4719 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4720 previous 4k of the .text section.
4721
4722 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4723 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4724 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4725 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4726 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4727 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4728 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4729 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4730
4731 - CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4732 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4733 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4734 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4735 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4736
4737 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4738 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4739 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4740
4741 - CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4742 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4743
4744 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4745
4746 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4747 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4748
4749 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4750 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4751 driver that uses this:
4752 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4753
4754 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4755 -----------------------------------
4756
4757 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4758 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4759 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4760 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4761 within that device.
4762
4763 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4764 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4765 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4766 is also specified.
4767
4768 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4769 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4770 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4771 is also specified.
4772
4773 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4774 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4775 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4776 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4777 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4778
4779 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4780 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4781 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4782 virtual address in NOR flash.
4783
4784 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4785 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4786 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4787
4788 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4789 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4790 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4791
4792 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4793 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4794 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4795 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4796 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4797 master's memory space.
4798
4799 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4800 ---------------------------------------------------------
4801 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4802 "firmware".
4803 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4804 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4805 within that device.
4806
4807 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4808 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4809
4810 Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4811 -------------------------------------------
4812 The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4813 "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4814 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4815
4816 - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4817 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4818
4819 Reproducible builds
4820 -------------------
4821
4822 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4823 process have to be set to a fixed value.
4824
4825 This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4826 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4827 option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4828
4829 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4830
4831 Building the Software:
4832 ======================
4833
4834 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4835 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4836 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4837 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4838 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4839 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4840
4841 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4842 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4843 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4844 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4845 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4846
4847 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4848 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
4849
4850 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4851 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4852 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4853 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4854
4855 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4856
4857 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4858 be executed on computers running Windows.
4859
4860 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4861 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4862 is done by typing:
4863
4864 make NAME_defconfig
4865
4866 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4867 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4868
4869 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4870 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4871 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4872 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4873 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4874
4875 make TQM823L_defconfig
4876 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4877
4878 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4879 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4880
4881 etc.
4882
4883
4884 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4885 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4886
4887 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4888 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4889 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4890
4891 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4892 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4893 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4894
4895 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4896
4897 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4898 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4899 make O=/tmp/build all
4900
4901 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4902
4903 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4904 make distclean
4905 make NAME_defconfig
4906 make all
4907
4908 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4909 variable.
4910
4911
4912 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4913 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4914 native "make".
4915
4916
4917 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4918 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4919 steps:
4920
4921 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4922 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4923 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
4924 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4925 your board.
4926 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4927 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
4928 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
4929 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4930 to be installed on your target system.
4931 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4932 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4933
4934
4935 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4936 ==============================================================
4937
4938 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4939 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4940 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4941 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4942 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4943
4944 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4945 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4946 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4947 just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4948 configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4949 will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4950 for documentation.

5005 Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
5006 ========================================
5007
5008 TODO.
5009
5010 For now: just type "help <command>".
5011
5012
5013 Environment Variables:
5014 ======================
5015
5016 U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5017 can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5018
5019 Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5020 "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5021 without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5022 environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5023 working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5024 environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5025
5026 Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5027
5028 List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5029
5030 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5031
5032 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5033
5034 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5035
5036 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5037
5038 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
5039
5040 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5041 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5042 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5043 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5044 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5045 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5046 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5047 bootm_mapsize.
5048
5049 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5050 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5051 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5052 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5053 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5054 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5055 used otherwise.
5056
5057 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5058 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5059 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5060 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5061 environment variable.
5062
5063 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5064 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5065 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5066
5067 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5068 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5069 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5070 load any image using TFTP
5071
5072 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5073 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5074 be automatically started (by internally calling
5075 "bootm")
5076
5077 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5078 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5079 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5080 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5081 data.
5082
5083 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5084 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5085 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5086 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5087 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5088 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5089 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5090 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5091 access it during the boot procedure.
5092
5093 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5094 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5095 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5096 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5097 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5098 must be accessible by the kernel.
5099
5100 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5101 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5102 defined.
5103
5104 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5105 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5106 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5107 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5108 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5109
5110 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5111 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5112 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5113 is usually what you want since it allows for
5114 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5115 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5116 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5117 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5118 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5119 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5120 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5121
5122 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5123 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5124 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5125 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5126 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5127 12 MB as well - this can be done with
5128
5129 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5130
5131 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5132 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5133 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5134 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5135 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5136 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5137 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5138
5139 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5140
5141 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5142 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5143
5144 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5145
5146 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5147
5148 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5149
5150 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5151
5152 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5153
5154 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
5155
5156 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5157 For example you can do the following
5158
5159 => setenv ethact FEC
5160 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5161 => setenv ethact SCC
5162 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5163
5164 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5165 available network interfaces.
5166 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5167
5168 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
5169 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5170 When set to "once" the network operation will
5171 fail when all the available network interfaces
5172 are tried once without success.
5173 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5174 themselves.
5175
5176 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
5177
5178 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5179 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5180 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5181 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5182 is silent.
5183
5184 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5185 UDP source port.
5186
5187 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5188 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5189
5190 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5191 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5192
5193 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5194 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5195 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5196 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5197 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5198 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5199 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5200
5201 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5202 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5203 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5204 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5205 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5206 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5207 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5208
5209 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5210 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5211 VLAN tagged frames.
5212
5213 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
5214 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
5215 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
5216 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
5217 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
5218
5219 The following image location variables contain the location of images
5220 used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5221 not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5222 variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5223 server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5224 loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5225 flash or offset in NAND flash.
5226
5227 *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5228 boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5229 boards use these variables for other purposes.
5230
5231 Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
5232 ----- --------- ----------- --------------
5233 u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
5234 Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
5235 device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
5236 ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
5237
5238 The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5239 updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5240 depending the information provided by your boot server:
5241
5242 bootfile - see above
5243 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5244 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5245 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5246 hostname - Target hostname
5247 ipaddr - see above
5248 netmask - Subnet Mask
5249 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5250 serverip - see above
5251
5252
5253 There are two special Environment Variables:
5254
5255 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5256 as type string and/or serial number
5257 ethaddr - Ethernet address
5258
5259 These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5260 the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5261 once they have been set once.
5262
5263
5264 Further special Environment Variables:
5265
5266 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5267 with the "version" command. This variable is
5268 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5269
5270
5271 Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5272 only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5273
5274
5275 Callback functions for environment variables:
5276 ---------------------------------------------
5277
5278 For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5279 when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
5280 be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5281 deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5282 effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5283
5284 The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5285 U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5286
5287 These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5288 static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5289 in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5290 associations. The list must be in the following format:
5291
5292 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5293 list = entry[,list]
5294
5295 If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5296 Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5297
5298 Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5299 with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5300 override any association in the static list. You can define
5301 CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5302 ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5303
5304 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5305 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5306 the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5307
5308
5309 Command Line Parsing:
5310 =====================
5311
5312 There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5313 the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5314
5315 Old, simple command line parser:
5316 --------------------------------
5317
5318 - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5319 - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5320 - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5321 - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5322 for example:
5323 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5324 - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5325 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5326
5327 Hush shell:
5328 -----------
5329
5330 - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5331 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5332 until...do...done, ...
5333 - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5334 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5335 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5336 command
5337
5338 General rules:
5339 --------------
5340
5341 (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5342 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5343 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5344 executed anyway.
5345
5346 (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5347 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5348 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5349 variables are not executed.
5350
5351 Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5352 =======================================
5353
5354 Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5355 such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5356 "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5357
5358 Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5359 MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5360 "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5361
5362 If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5363 in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5364 ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5365 variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5366
5367 o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5368 environment, the SROM's address is used.
5369
5370 o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5371 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5372 used.
5373
5374 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5375 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5376
5377 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5378 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5379 warning is printed.
5380
5381 o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5382 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5383 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5384
5385 If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5386 will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
5387 may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5388 The naming convention is as follows:
5389 "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5390
5391 Image Formats:
5392 ==============
5393
5394 U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5395 images in two formats:
5396
5397 New uImage format (FIT)
5398 -----------------------
5399
5400 Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5401 to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5402 components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5403 SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5404
5405
5406 Old uImage format
5407 -----------------
5408
5409 Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5410 preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5411 details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5412
5413 * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5414 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5415 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5416 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5417 INTEGRITY).
5418 * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5419 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5420 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5421 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5422 * Load Address
5423 * Entry Point
5424 * Image Name
5425 * Image Timestamp
5426
5427 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5428 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5429 CRC32 checksums.
5430
5431
5432 Linux Support:
5433 ==============
5434
5435 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5436 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5437 U-Boot.
5438
5439 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5440 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5441 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5442 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5443 serves several purposes:
5444
5445 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5446 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5447 Flash memory footprint)
5448
5449 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5450 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5451
5452 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5453 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5454 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5455 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5456 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5457 software is easier now.
5458
5459
5460 Linux HOWTO:
5461 ============
5462
5463 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5464 ---------------------------------------
5465
5466 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5467 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5468 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5469 Linux :-).
5470
5471 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5472
5473 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5474 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5475 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5476 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5477 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5478
5479 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5480 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5481 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5482 doc/driver-model.
5483
5484
5485 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5486 -----------------------------
5487
5488 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5489 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5490
5491
5492 Building a Linux Image:
5493 -----------------------
5494
5495 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5496 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5497 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5498 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5499 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5500 100% compatible format.
5501
5502 Example:
5503
5504 make TQM850L_defconfig
5505 make oldconfig
5506 make dep
5507 make uImage
5508
5509 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5510 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5511 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5512
5513 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5514
5515 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5516
5517 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5518 -R .note -R .comment \
5519 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5520
5521 * compress the binary image:
5522
5523 gzip -9 linux.bin
5524
5525 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5526
5527 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5528 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5529 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5530
5531
5532 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5533 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5534 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5535 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5536 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5537 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5538
5539 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5540 print the header information, or to build new images.
5541
5542 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5543 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5544 checksum verification:
5545
5546 tools/mkimage -l image
5547 -l ==> list image header information
5548
5549 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5550 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5551
5552 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5553 -n name -d data_file image
5554 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5555 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5556 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5557 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5558 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5559 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5560 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5561 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5562
5563 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5564 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5565 kernel version:
5566
5567 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5568 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5569
5570 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5571
5572 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5573 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5574 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5575 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5576 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5577 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5578 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5579 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5580 Load Address: 0x00000000
5581 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5582
5583 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5584
5585 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5586 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5587 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5588 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5589 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5590 Load Address: 0x00000000
5591 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5592
5593 NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5594 speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5595 needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5596 need to be uncompressed:
5597
5598 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5599 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5600 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5601 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5602 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5603 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5604 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5605 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5606 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5607 Load Address: 0x00000000
5608 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5609
5610
5611 Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5612 when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5613
5614 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5615 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5616 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5617 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
5618 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5619 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5620 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5621 Load Address: 0x00000000
5622 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5623
5624 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5625 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5626 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5627 from the image:
5628
5629 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5630 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5631 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5632 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5633
5634
5635 Installing a Linux Image:
5636 -------------------------
5637
5638 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5639 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5640
5641 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5642
5643 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5644 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5645 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5646 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5647 command.
5648
5649 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5650 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5651
5652 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5653
5654 .......... done
5655 Erased 8 sectors
5656
5657 => loads 40100000
5658 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5659 ~>examples/image.srec
5660 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
5661 ...
5662 15989 15990 15991 15992
5663 [file transfer complete]
5664 [connected]
5665 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5666
5667
5668 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5669 this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5670 corruption happened:
5671
5672 => imi 40100000
5673
5674 ## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
5675 Image Name: 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
5676 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5677 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB
5678 Load Address: 00000000
5679 Entry Point: 0000000c

5683 Boot Linux:
5684 -----------
5685
5686 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5687 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5688 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5689 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5690 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5691
5692
5693 => printenv bootargs
5694 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5695
5696 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5697
5698 => printenv bootargs
5699 bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5769 First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section

5771 following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated

5815 More About U-Boot Image Types:
5816 ------------------------------
5817
5818 U-Boot supports the following image types:
5819
5820 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5821 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5822 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5823 the Standalone Program.
5824 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5825 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5826 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5827 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5828 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5829 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5830 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5831 being started.
5832 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5833 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5834 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5835 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5836 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5837 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5838
5839 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5840 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5841 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5842 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5843 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5844 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5845
5846 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5847 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5848 flash memory.
5849
5850 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5851 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5852 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5853 as command interpreter.
5854
5855 Booting the Linux zImage:
5856 -------------------------
5857
5858 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5859 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5860 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5861
5862 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5863 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5864 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5865 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5866
5867
5868 Standalone HOWTO:
5869 =================
5870
5871 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5872 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5873 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5874
5875 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5876
5877 "Hello World" Demo:
5878 -------------------
5879
5880 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5881 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5882 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5883 like that:
5884
5885 => loads
5886 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5887 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
5888 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5889 [file transfer complete]
5890 [connected]
5891 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5892
5893 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5894 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5895 Hello World
5896 argc = 7
5897 argv[0] = "40004"
5898 argv[1] = "Hello"
5899 argv[2] = "World!"
5900 argv[3] = "This"
5901 argv[4] = "is"
5902 argv[5] = "a"
5903 argv[6] = "test."
5904 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5905 Hit any key to exit ...
5906
5907 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5908
5909 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5910 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5911 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5912 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5913 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5914 controlled by the following keys:
5915
5916 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5917 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5918 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5919 q - quit application
5920
5921 => loads

5956 Minicom warning:
5957 ================
5958
5959 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5960 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5961 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5962 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5963 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5964 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5965 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5966 for help with kermit.
5967
5968
5969 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5970 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5971
5972 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5973 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
5974 Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
5975
5976
5977 NetBSD Notes:
5978 =============
5979
5980 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5981 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5982
5983 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5984 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5985 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5986 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5987 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5988 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5989
5990 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5991 # mkdir powerpc
5992 # ln -s powerpc machine
5993 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5994 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5995
5996 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5997 and U-Boot include files.
5998
5999 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6000 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6001 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6002 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6003 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6004
6005
6006 Implementation Internals:
6007 =========================
6008
6009 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6010 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6011 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6012 hardware.
6013
6014
6015 Initial Stack, Global Data:
6016 ---------------------------
6017
6018 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6019 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6020 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6021 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6022 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6023 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6024 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6025 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6026 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6027 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6028
6029 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6030 U-Boot mailing list:
6031
6032 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6033 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
6034 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
6035 ...
6036
6037 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6038 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6039 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6040 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6041 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6042 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6043 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6044 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6045
6046 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6047 is another option for the system designer to use as an
6048 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6049 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6050 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6051 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6052 used.
6053
6054 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6055 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6056 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6057 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6058 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6059 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6060 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6061 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6062 you get the config right.

6066
6067 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6068 code for the initialization procedures:
6069
6070 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6071 to write it.
6072
6073 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6074 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6075 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6076
6077 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6078 that.
6079
6080 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6081 normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6082 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6083 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6084 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6085 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6086 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6087 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6088 reserve for this purpose.
6089
6090 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6091 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6092 GCC's implementation.
6093
6094 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6095 R1: stack pointer
6096 R2: reserved for system use
6097 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6098 R5-R10: parameter passing
6099 R13: small data area pointer
6100 R30: GOT pointer
6101 R31: frame pointer
6102
6103 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6104 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6105 going back and forth between asm and C)
6106
6107 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6108
6109 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6110 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6111 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6112 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6113 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6114 624 text + 127 data).
6115
6116 On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6117 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6118
6119 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6120
6121 On ARM, the following registers are used:
6122
6123 R0: function argument word/integer result
6124 R1-R3: function argument word
6125 R9: platform specific
6126 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6127 R11: argument (frame) pointer
6128 R12: temporary workspace
6129 R13: stack pointer
6130 R14: link register
6131 R15: program counter
6132
6133 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6134
6135 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6136
6137 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6138 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6139
6140 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6141
6142 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6143 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6144
6145 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6146
6147 R0-R1: argument/return
6148 R2-R5: argument
6149 R15: temporary register for assembler
6150 R16: trampoline register
6151 R28: frame pointer (FP)
6152 R29: global pointer (GP)
6153 R30: link register (LP)
6154 R31: stack pointer (SP)
6155 PC: program counter (PC)
6156
6157 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6158
6159 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6160 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6161
6162 Memory Management:
6163 ------------------
6164
6165 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6166 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6167
6168 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6169 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6170 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6171 physical memory banks.
6172
6173 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6174 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6175 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6176 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6177 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6178 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6179 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6180
6181 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6182 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6183
6184 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6185 this:
6186
6187 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6188 :
6189 0x0000 1FFF
6190 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6191 :
6192 :
6193
6194 :
6195 :
6196 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6197 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6198 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6199 :
6200 0x00FD FFFF
6201 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6202 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6203 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6204 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6205
6206
6207 System Initialization:
6208 ----------------------
6209
6210 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6211 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6212 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6213 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6214 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6215 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6216 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6217 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6218 the caches and the SIU.
6219
6220 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6221 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6222 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6223 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6224 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6225 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6226 banks.
6227
6228 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6229 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6230 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
6231 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6232 contiguous memory starting from 0.
6233
6234 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6235 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6236 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6237 pages, and the final stack is set up.
6238
6239 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6240 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6241 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6242 new address in RAM.

6319 Coding Standards:
6320 -----------------
6321
6322 All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6323 coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6324 "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6325
6326 Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6327 MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6328 reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6329 sources.
6330
6331 Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6332 Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6333 in your code.
6334
6335 Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6336 - remove any trailing white space
6337 - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6338 - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6339 - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6340 - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6341
6342 Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6343 with a request to reformat the changes.
6344
6345
6346 Submitting Patches:
6347 -------------------
6348
6349 Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6350 establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6351 may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6352
6353 Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6354
6355 Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6356 see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6357
6358 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6359 it:
6360
6361 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6362 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6363 patch actually fixes something.
6364
6365 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
6366 implementation.
6367
6368 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6369
6370 * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6371 information and associated file and directory references.
6372
6373 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6374 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6375
6376 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6377 document these in the README file.
6378
6379 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6380 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6381 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6382 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6383 with some other mail clients.
6384
6385 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6386 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6387 GNU diff.
6388
6389 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6390 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6391 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6392 affected files).
6393
6394 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6395 and compressed attachments must not be used.
6396
6397 * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6398 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6399
6400 * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6401 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6402
6403
6404 Notes:
6405
6406 * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
6407 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6408 for any of the boards.
6409
6410 * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6411 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6412 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6413
6414 * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6415 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6416 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6417 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6418 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6419 modification.
6420
6421 * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6422 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6423 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6424 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
