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

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

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
2224 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and

2334
2335 additional defines:
2336
2337 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2338 Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use. If you
2339 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2340 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2341 omit this define.
2342
2343 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2344 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2345 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2346 omit this define.
2347
2348 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2349 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2350 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2351 define.
2352
2353 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2354 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2355 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2356 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2357 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2358
2359 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2360 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2361 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2362 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2363 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2364 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2365 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2366 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2367 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2368 }
2369
2370 which defines
2371 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2372 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2373 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2374 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2375 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
2376 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2377 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2378 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2379 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2380
2381 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2382
2383 - Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2384
2385 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2386 provides the following compelling advantages:
2387
2388 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2389 - approved multibus support
2390 - better i2c mux support
2391
2392 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2393
2394 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2395 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2396 for the selected CPU.
2397
2398 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2399 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2400 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2401 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2402 command line interface.
2403
2404 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2405
2406 There are several other quantities that must also be
2407 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2408
2409 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2410 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2411 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2412 the CPU's i2c node address).
2413
2414 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2415 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2416 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2417 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2418 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2419
2420 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2421
2422 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2423 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2424 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2425 commands until the slave device responds.
2426
2427 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2428
2429 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2430 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2431 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2432
2433 I2C_INIT
2434
2435 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2436 controller or configure ports.
2437
2438 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2439
2440 I2C_PORT
2441
2442 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2443 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2444 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2445
2446 I2C_ACTIVE
2447
2448 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2449 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2450 define can be null.
2451
2452 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2453
2454 I2C_TRISTATE
2455
2456 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2457 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2458 define can be null.
2459
2460 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2461
2462 I2C_READ
2463
2464 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2465 false if it is low.
2466
2467 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2468
2469 I2C_SDA(bit)
2470
2471 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2472 is false, it clears it (low).
2473
2474 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2475 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2476 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2477
2478 I2C_SCL(bit)
2479
2480 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2481 is false, it clears it (low).
2482
2483 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2484 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2485 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2486
2487 I2C_DELAY
2488
2489 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2490 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2491 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2492 like:
2493
2494 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2495
2496 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2497
2498 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2499 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2500 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2501 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2502
2503 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2504 the generic GPIO functions.
2505
2506 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2507
2508 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2509 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2510 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2511 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2512 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2513 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2514 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2515 is run early in the boot sequence.
2516
2517 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2518
2519 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2520 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2521 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2522 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2523 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2524 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2525 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2526 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2527
2528 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2529
2530 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2531 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2532 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2533
2534 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2535
2536 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2537 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2538 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2539 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2540
2541 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2542
2543 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2544 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2545 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2546 a 1D array of device addresses
2547
2548 e.g.
2549 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2550 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2551
2552 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2553
2554 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2555 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2556
2557 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2558
2559 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2560
2561 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2562 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2563
2564 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2565
2566 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2567 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2568
2569 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2570
2571 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2572 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2573
2574 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2575
2576 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2577 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2578 specified DTT device.
2579
2580 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2581
2582 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2583 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2584 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2585 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2586 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2587 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2588 the other.
2589
2590 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2591
2592 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2593 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2594 D/As on the SACSng board)
2595
2596 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2597
2598 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2599 only SH7757 is supported.
2600
2601 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2602
2603 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2604 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2605 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2606 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2607 defined, the board configuration must define several
2608 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2609 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2610
2611 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2612
2613 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2614 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2615 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2616 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2617 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2618
2619 CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2620
2621 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2622 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2623
2624 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2625 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2626 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
2627
2628 - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2629
2630 Enables FPGA subsystem.
2631
2632 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2633
2634 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2635 (ALTERA, XILINX)
2636
2637 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2638
2639 Enables support for FPGA family.
2640 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2641
2642 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2643
2644 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2645
2646 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2647
2648 Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2649
2650 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2651
2652 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2653
2654 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2655
2656 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2657 (Xilinx only)
2658
2659 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2660
2661 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2662
2663 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2664
2665 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2666 status by the configuration function. This option
2667 will require a board or device specific function to
2668 be written.
2669
2670 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2671
2672 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2673 configuration driver.
2674
2675 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2676 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2677
2678 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2679
2680 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2681 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2682 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2683 indicated a CRC error).
2684
2685 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2686
2687 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2688 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2689 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2690 ms.
2691
2692 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2693
2694 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2695 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2696
2697 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2698
2699 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2700 200 ms.
2701
2702 - Configuration Management:
2703 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2704
2705 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2706 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2707 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2708 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2709 make / buildman.
2710
2711 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2712
2713 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2714 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2715
2716 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2717
2718 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2719 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2720 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2721 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2722 protects these variables from casual modification by
2723 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2724 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2725 change this behaviour:
2726
2727 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2728 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2729 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2730 these parameters.
2731
2732 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2733 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2734 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2735 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2736 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2737 read-only.]
2738
2739 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2740 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2741 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2742 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2743
2744 - Protected RAM:
2745 CONFIG_PRAM
2746
2747 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2748 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2749 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2750 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2751 this default value by defining an environment
2752 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2753 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2754 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2755 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2756 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2757 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2758 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2759
2760 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2761 saveenv
2762
2763 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2764 either, which results in a memory region that will
2765 not be affected by reboots.
2766
2767 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2768 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2769 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2770 following board configurations are known to be
2771 "pRAM-clean":
2772
2773 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2774 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2775 FLAGADM, TQM8260
2776
2777 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2778 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2779 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2780 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2781 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2782 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2783 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2784
2785 - Error Recovery:
2786 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2787
2788 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2789 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2790 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2791 system where you want the system to reboot
2792 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2793 useful during development since you can try to debug
2794 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2795
2796 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2797
2798 This variable defines the number of retries for
2799 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2800 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2801 default value of 5 is used.
2802
2803 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2804
2805 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2806
2807 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2808
2809 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2810 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2811 try longer timeout such as
2812 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2813
2814 - Command Interpreter:
2815 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2816
2817 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2818
2819 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2820
2821 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2822 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2823 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2824
2825 Note:
2826
2827 In the current implementation, the local variables
2828 space and global environment variables space are
2829 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2830 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2831 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2832 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2833 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2834
2835 Global environment variables are those you use
2836 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2837 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2838 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2839
2840 To store commands and special characters in a
2841 variable, please use double quotation marks
2842 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2843 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2844 symbols.
2845
2846 - Command Line Editing and History:
2847 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2848
2849 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2850 command line input operations
2851
2852 - Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2853 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2854
2855 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2856 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2857 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2858 and PS2.
2859
2860 - Default Environment:
2861 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2862
2863 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2864 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2865 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2866
2867 For example, place something like this in your
2868 board's config file:
2869
2870 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2871 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2872 "myvar2=value2\0"
2873
2874 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2875 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2876 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2877 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2878 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2879 You better know what you are doing here.
2880
2881 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2882 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2883 the environment like the "source" command or the
2884 boot command first.
2885
2886 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2887
2888 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2889 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2890 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2891
2892 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2893
2894 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2895 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2896 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2897 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2898 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2899
2900 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2901
2902 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2903 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2904 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2905
2906 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2907
2908 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2909 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2910 that so that the environment is not available until
2911 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2912 this is instead controlled by the value of
2913 /config/load-environment.
2914
2915 - Parallel Flash support:
2916 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
2917
2918 Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
2919 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2920 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2921 parallel flash.
2922
2923 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2924 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2925 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2926 flash API (see include/flash.h).
2927
2928 - DataFlash Support:
2929 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2930
2931 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2932 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2933 commands cp, md...
2934
2935 - Serial Flash support
2936 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2937
2938 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2939 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2940
2941 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2942 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2943 commands.
2944
2945 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2946 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2947 flash is present on the system.
2948
2949 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2950 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2951 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2952 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2953
2954 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2955
2956 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2957 test ('sf test').
2958
2959 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2960
2961 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2962 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2963 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
2964
2965 - SystemACE Support:
2966 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2967
2968 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2969 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2970 of the chip must also be defined in the
2971 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2972
2973 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2974 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2975
2976 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2977 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2978
2979 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2980 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2981
2982 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2983 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2984 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2985 number generator is used.
2986
2987 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2988 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2989 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2990
2991 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2992 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2993 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2994 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2995 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2996 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2997 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2998
2999 - Hashing support:
3000 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3001
3002 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3003 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3004
3005 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3006
3007 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3008 size a little.
3009
3010 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3011 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3012 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3013 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3014 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3015 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3016 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3017 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3018 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3019 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3020 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3021 is performed in hardware.
3022
3023 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3024 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3025
3026 - Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3027 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3028 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3029 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3030
3031 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3032 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3033 a boot from specific media.
3034
3035 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3036 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3037 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3038 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3039 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3040
3041 - bootcount support:
3042 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3043
3044 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3045 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3046
3047 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3048 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3049 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3050 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3051 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3052 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3053 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3054 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3055 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3056 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3057 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3058 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3059 the bootcounter.
3060 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3061
3062 - Show boot progress:
3063 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3064
3065 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3066 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3067 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3068 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3069 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3070 the following checkpoints are implemented:
3071
3072

3225
3226 - legacy image format:
3227 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3228 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3229
3230 Default:
3231 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3232
3233 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3234 disable the legacy image format
3235
3236 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3237 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3238
3239 - FIT image support:
3240 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3241 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3242 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3243 with this option.
3244
3245 TODO(sjg@chromium.org): Adjust this option to be positive,
3246 and move it to Kconfig
3247
3248 - Standalone program support:
3249 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3250
3251 This option defines a board specific value for the
3252 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3253 overwriting the architecture dependent default
3254 settings.
3255
3256 - Frame Buffer Address:
3257 CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3258
3259 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3260 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3261 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3262 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3263 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3264 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3265 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3266 configured panel size.
3267
3268 Please see board_init_f function.
3269
3270 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3271 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3272 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3273 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3274
3275 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3276 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3277
3278 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3279 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3280
3281 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3282 Needed for mtdparts command support.
3283
3284 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3285
3286 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3287 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3288
3289 - UBI support
3290 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3291
3292 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3293 with the UBI flash translation layer
3294
3295 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3296
3297 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3298
3299 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3300 warnings and errors enabled.
3301
3302
3303 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3304 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3305 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3306 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3307 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3308 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3309
3310 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3311 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3312 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3313 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3314 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3315
3316 default: 4096
3317
3318 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3319 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3320 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3321 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3322 flash), this value is ignored.
3323
3324 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3325 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3326 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3327 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3328 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3329 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3330
3331 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3332 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3333 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3334 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3335 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3336 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3337 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3338 partition.
3339
3340 default: 20
3341
3342 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3343 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3344 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3345 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3346 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3347 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3348 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3349 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3350 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3351 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3352 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3353 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3354
3355 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3356 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3357 without a fastmap.
3358 default: 0
3359
3360 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3361 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3362 default: 0
3363
3364 - UBIFS support
3365 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3366
3367 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3368 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3369
3370 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3371
3372 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3373
3374 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3375 warnings and errors enabled.
3376
3377 - SPL framework
3378 CONFIG_SPL
3379 Enable building of SPL globally.
3380
3381 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3382 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3383
3384 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3385 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3386 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3387 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3388 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3389 must not be both defined at the same time.
3390
3391 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3392 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3393 linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3394 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3395 not exceed it.
3396
3397 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3398 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3399
3400 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3401 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
3402 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3403
3404 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3405 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3406
3407 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3408 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3409 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3410 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3411 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3412 must not be both defined at the same time.
3413
3414 CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3415 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3416
3417 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3418 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3419 loaded does not have a signature.
3420 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3421 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3422 will be caught.
3423 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3424 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3425 and thus should be skipped silently.
3426
3427 CONFIG_SPL_ABORT_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3428 When defined, SPL will proceed to another boot method
3429 if the image it has loaded does not have a signature.
3430
3431 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3432 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3433 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
3434 CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3435
3436 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3437 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3438 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3439 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3440 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3441
3442 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3443 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3444
3445 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3446 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework
3447 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3448 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3449
3450 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3451 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3452 See also: doc/README.falcon
3453
3454 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3455 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3456 about the running system.
3457
3458 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
3459 Arch init code should be built for a very small image
3460
3461 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR,
3462 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS,
3463 Address and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from
3464 when the MMC is being used in raw mode.
3465
3466 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
3467 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3468 used in raw mode
3469
3470 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3471 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3472 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3473
3474 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
3475 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
3476 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
3477 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
3478 (for falcon mode)
3479
3480 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
3481 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3482 used in fs mode
3483
3484 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
3485 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
3486
3487 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
3488 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
3489 from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3490
3491 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
3492 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
3493 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3494
3495 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3496 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3497 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3498 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3499 loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3500
3501 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3502 Avoid SPL relocation
3503
3504 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3505 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires
3506 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
3507
3508 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
3509 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.
3510
3511 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
3512 Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3513
3514 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE
3515 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that
3516 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3517
3518 CONFIG_SPL_UBI
3519 Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
3520 loader
3521
3522 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3523 Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3524 if you need to save space.
3525
3526 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3527 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3528 SPL binary.
3529
3530 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3531 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3532 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3533 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3534 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3535 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3536 to read U-Boot
3537
3538 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3539 Add support NAND boot
3540
3541 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3542 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3543
3544 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3545 Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3546
3547 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3548 Size of image to load
3549
3550 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3551 Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3552
3553 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3554 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3555 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3556
3557 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3558 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3559 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3560
3561 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3562 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3563
3564 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3565 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3566 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3567 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3568 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3569 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3570
3571 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3572 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3573 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3574 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3575
3576 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3577 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3578 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3579 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3580 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3581
3582 - TPL framework
3583 CONFIG_TPL
3584 Enable building of TPL globally.
3585
3586 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3587 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3588 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3589 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3590 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3591 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3592
3593 - Interrupt support (PPC):
3594
3595 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3596 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3597 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3598 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3599 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3600 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3601 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3602 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3603 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3604 general timer_interrupt().
3605
3606
3607 Board initialization settings:
3608 ------------------------------
3609
3610 During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3611 to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3612 before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3613 following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3614 architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3615 typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3616
3617 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3618 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3619 - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3620 - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3621
3622 Configuration Settings:
3623 -----------------------
3624
3625 - CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3626 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3627
3628 - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3629 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3630
3631 - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3632 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3633
3634 - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3635 prompt for user input.
3636
3637 - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
3638
3639 - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
3640
3641 - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3642
3643 - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3644 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3645 booted
3646
3647 - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3648 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3649
3650 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3651 Suppress display of console information at boot.
3652
3653 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3654 If the board specific function
3655 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3656 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3657 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3658
3659 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3660 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3661
3662 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3663 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3664
3665 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3666 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3667 simple memory test.
3668
3669 - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3670 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3671
3672 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3673 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3674 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3675
3676 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3677 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
3678 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3679 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3680 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3681 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3682 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3683 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3684
3685 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3686 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3687 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3688 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3689 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3690 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3691 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3692 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3693 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3694 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3695
3696 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3697 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3698 be touched.
3699
3700 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3701 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3702 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3703 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3704 problems.
3705
3706 - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3707 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3708
3709 - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3710 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3711
3712 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3713 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3714
3715 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3716 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3717 make config files to be same as the text base address
3718 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3719 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3720
3721 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3722 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3723 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3724 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3725 flash sector.
3726
3727 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3728 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3729
3730 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3731 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3732 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3733 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3734 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3735 space.
3736
3737 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3738 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3739 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3740 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3741 U-Boot relocates itself.
3742
3743 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3744 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3745 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3746 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3747
3748 - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3749 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3750 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3751 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3752 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3753 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3754 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3755 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3756 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3757 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3758 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3759 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3760 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3761 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3762 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3763 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3764
3765 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3766
3767 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3768 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3769 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3770 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3771 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3772
3773 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3774 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3775 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3776 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3777 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3778 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3779 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3780 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
3781 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3782 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3783 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3784
3785 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3786 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3787 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3788 is enabled.
3789
3790 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3791 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3792 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3793
3794 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3795 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3796 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3797
3798 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3799 Max number of Flash memory banks
3800
3801 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3802 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3803
3804 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3805 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3806
3807 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3808 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3809
3810 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3811 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3812
3813 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3814 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3815
3816 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3817 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3818 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3819
3820 - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3821
3822 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3823 without this option such a download has to be
3824 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3825 copy from RAM to flash.
3826
3827 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3828 you can check if the download worked before you erase
3829 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3830 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3831 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3832
3833 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3834 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3835 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3836
3837 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3838 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3839 in the drivers directory
3840
3841 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3842 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3843 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3844 to the MTD layer.
3845
3846 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3847 Use buffered writes to flash.
3848
3849 - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3850 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3851 write commands.
3852
3853 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3854 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3855 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3856 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3857 optionally available.
3858
3859 - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3860 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3861 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3862 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3863
3864 - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3865 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3866 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3867 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3868 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3869 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3870 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3871 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3872
3873 - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3874 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3875 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3876 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3877 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3878 on high Ethernet traffic.
3879 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3880
3881 - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3882
3883 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3884 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3885 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3886 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3887 lib/hashtable.c for details.
3888
3889 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3890 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3891 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3892 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3893 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3894 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3895
3896 The format of the list is:
3897 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3898 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
3899 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
3900 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3901 list = entry[,list]
3902
3903 The type attributes are:
3904 s - String (default)
3905 d - Decimal
3906 x - Hexadecimal
3907 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3908 i - IP address
3909 m - MAC address
3910
3911 The access attributes are:
3912 a - Any (default)
3913 r - Read-only
3914 o - Write-once
3915 c - Change-default
3916
3917 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3918 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3919 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3920
3921 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3922 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3923 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3924 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3925 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3926 ".flags" variable.
3927
3928 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3929 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3930 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3931
3932 - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3933 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3934 access flags.
3935
3936 - CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3937 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3938 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3939 the value can be calculated on a given board.
3940
3941 - CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3942 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3943 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3944 building U-Boot to enable this.
3945
3946 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3947 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3948 following configurations:
3949
3950 - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3951
3952 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3953 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3954
3955 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3956
3957 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3958
3959 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3960 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3961 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3962 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3963 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3964 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3965 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3966 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3967 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3968 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3969 between U-Boot and the environment.
3970
3971 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3972
3973 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3974 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3975 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3976 for this sector is given here.
3977
3978 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3979
3980 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3981
3982 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3983 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3984 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3985
3986 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3987
3988 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3989
3990
3991 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3992 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3993 the environment.
3994
3995 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3996
3997 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3998 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3999 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4000 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4001
4002 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4003 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4004 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4005 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4006 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4007 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4008 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4009 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4010 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4011
4012 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4013 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4014
4015 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4016 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4017 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4018 a "saveenv" operation.
4019
4020 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4021 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4022 accordingly!
4023
4024
4025 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4026
4027 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4028 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4029 environment.
4030
4031 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4032 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4033
4034 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4035 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4036 can just be read and written to, without any special
4037 provision.
4038
4039 BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4040 in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4041 console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4042 U-Boot will hang.
4043
4044 Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4045 environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4046 keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4047 to save the current settings.
4048
4049
4050 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4051
4052 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4053 device and a driver for it.
4054
4055 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4056 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4057
4058 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4059 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4060
4061 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4062 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4063 The default address is zero.
4064
4065 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4066 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4067
4068 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4069 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4070 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4071 would require six bits.
4072
4073 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4074 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4075 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
4076
4077 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4078 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4079 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4080
4081 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4082 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4083 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4084 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4085 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4086 byte chips.
4087
4088 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4089 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4090 in the chip address.
4091
4092 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4093 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4094
4095 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4096 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4097 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4098
4099 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4100 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4101 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4102 EEPROM. For example:
4103
4104 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
4105
4106 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4107 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4108
4109 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4110
4111 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4112 want to use for the environment.
4113
4114 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4115 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4116 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4117
4118 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4119 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4120 at the specified address.
4121
4122 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4123
4124 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4125 want to use for the environment.
4126
4127 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4128 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4129
4130 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4131 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4132 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4133
4134 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4135
4136 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4137
4138 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4139
4140 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4141 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4142 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4143 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
4144 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4145
4146 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4147 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4148
4149 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4150
4151 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4152
4153 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4154
4155 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4156
4157 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4158
4159 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4160
4161 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4162 want to use for the local device's environment.
4163
4164 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4165 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4166
4167 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4168 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4169 local device can get the environment from remote memory
4170 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4171
4172 BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4173 "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4174 environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4175 but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4176
4177 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4178
4179 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4180 for the environment.
4181
4182 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4183 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4184
4185 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4186 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4187 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4188
4189 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4190
4191 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4192 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4193 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4194 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
4195 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4196
4197 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4198
4199 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4200 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4201 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4202 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4203 the range to be avoided.
4204
4205 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4206
4207 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4208 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4209 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4210 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4211 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4212
4213 - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4214
4215 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4216 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4217 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4218
4219 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4220
4221 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4222 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4223 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4224
4225 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4226
4227 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4228
4229 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4230
4231 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4232 environment in.
4233
4234 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4235
4236 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4237 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4238 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4239
4240 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4241 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4242
4243 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4244 when storing the env in UBI.
4245
4246 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4247 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4248
4249 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4250
4251 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4252
4253 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4254
4255 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4256 be as following:
4257
4258 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4259 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4260 partition table.
4261 - "D:0": device D.
4262 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4263 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4264 table.
4265 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4266 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4267 partition table then means device D.
4268
4269 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4270
4271 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4272 environment.
4273
4274 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4275 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4276
4277 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4278
4279 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4280 environment.
4281
4282 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4283
4284 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4285
4286 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4287
4288 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4289 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4290 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4291
4292 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4293 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4294
4295 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4296 area within the specified MMC device.
4297
4298 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4299 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4300 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4301 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4302 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4303 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4304 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4305
4306 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4307 MMC sector boundary.
4308
4309 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4310
4311 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4312 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4313 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4314 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4315
4316 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4317 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4318
4319 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4320 an MMC sector boundary.
4321
4322 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4323
4324 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4325 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4326 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4327
4328 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4329
4330 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4331 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4332 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4333 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4334 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4335 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4336 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4337
4338 Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4339 has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4340 created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4341 until then to read environment variables.
4342
4343 The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4344 is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4345 with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4346 necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4347 "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4348 have any device yet where we could complain.]
4349
4350 Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4351 the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4352 use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4353
4354 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4355 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4356
4357 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4358 also needs to be defined.
4359
4360 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4361 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4362
4363 - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4364 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4365 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4366 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4367 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4368 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4369
4370 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4371 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4372 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4373 to do this.
4374
4375 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4376 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4377 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4378 present.
4379
4380 - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4381 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4382 build system checks that the actual size does not
4383 exceed it.
4384
4385 Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4386 ---------------------------------------------------
4387
4388 - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4389 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4390
4391 - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4392 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4393
4394 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4395 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4396 the IMMR register after a reset.
4397
4398 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4399 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4400 PowerPC SOCs.
4401
4402 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4403 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4404 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4405
4406 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4407 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4408
4409 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4410 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4411 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
4412 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
4413 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4414 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4415 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4416
4417 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4418 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4419
4420 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4421 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4422 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). 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_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4427 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4428 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4429 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4430
4431 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4432 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4433 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4434
4435 - Floppy Disk Support:
4436 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4437
4438 the default drive number (default value 0)
4439
4440 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4441
4442 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4443 (default value 1)
4444
4445 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4446
4447 defines the offset of register from address. It
4448 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4449 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4450
4451 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4452 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4453 default value.
4454
4455 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4456 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4457 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4458 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4459 initializations.
4460
4461 - CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4462 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4463 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4464 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4465 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4466 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4467 is required.
4468
4469 - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4470 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4471 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4472
4473 - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4474
4475 Start address of memory area that can be used for
4476 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4477 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4478 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4479 will become available only after programming the
4480 memory controller and running certain initialization
4481 sequences.
4482
4483 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4484 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4485 - MPC824X: data cache
4486 - PPC4xx: data cache
4487
4488 - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4489
4490 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4491 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4492 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4493 data is located at the end of the available space
4494 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4495 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4496 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4497 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4498
4499 Note:
4500 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4501 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4502 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4503 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4504 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
4505

4556 wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4557 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4558
4559 - CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4560 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4561 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4562 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp.

4573 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4574
4575 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4576 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4577 required.
4578
4579 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4580 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4581 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4582 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4583 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4584 by coreboot or similar.
4585
4586 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4587 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4588

4611 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4612 a 16 bit bus.
4613 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4614 Example of drivers that use it:

4632 to something your driver can deal with.
4633
4634 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4635 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with

4649 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4650 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4651 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4652
4653 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4654 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4655
4656 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4657 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4658 to the given FEC; i. e.
4659 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4660 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4661
4662 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4663
4664 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4665 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4666 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4667
4668 - CONFIG_RMII
4669 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4670 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4671 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4672
4673 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4674 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4675 The syntax is:
4676
4677 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4678
4679 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4680 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4681 area should have.
4682
4683 - CONFIG_LOOPW
4684 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4685 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4686
4687 - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4688 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4689 "md/mw" commands.
4690 Examples:
4691
4692 => mdc.b 10 4 500
4693 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4694
4695 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4696 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4697
4698 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4699 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4700
4701 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4702 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4703 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4704 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4705 relocate itself into RAM.
4706
4707 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4708 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4709 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4710 these initializations itself.
4711
4712 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4713 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4714 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4715 instruction cache) is still performed.
4716
4717 - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4718 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4719 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4720 compiling a NAND SPL.
4721
4722 - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4723 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4724 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4725 It is loaded by the SPL.
4726
4727 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4728 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4729 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4730 previous 4k of the .text section.
4731
4732 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4733 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4734 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4735 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4736 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4737 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4738 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4739 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4740
4741 - CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4742 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4743 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4744 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4745 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4746
4747 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4748 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4749 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4750
4751 - CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4752 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4753
4754 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4755
4756 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4757 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4758
4759 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4760 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4761 driver that uses this:
4762 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4763
4764 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4765 -----------------------------------
4766
4767 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4768 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4769 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4770 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4771 within that device.
4772
4773 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4774 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4775 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4776 is also specified.
4777
4778 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4779 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4780 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4781 is also specified.
4782
4783 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4784 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4785 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4786 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4787 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4788
4789 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4790 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4791 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4792 virtual address in NOR flash.
4793
4794 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4795 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4796 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4797
4798 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4799 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4800 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4801
4802 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4803 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4804 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4805 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4806 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4807 master's memory space.
4808
4809 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4810 ---------------------------------------------------------
4811 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4812 "firmware".
4813 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4814 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4815 within that device.
4816
4817 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4818 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4819
4820 Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4821 -------------------------------------------
4822 The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4823 "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4824 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4825
4826 - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4827 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4828
4829 Reproducible builds
4830 -------------------
4831
4832 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4833 process have to be set to a fixed value.
4834
4835 This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4836 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4837 option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4838
4839 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4840
4841 Building the Software:
4842 ======================
4843
4844 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4845 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4846 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4847 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4848 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4849 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4850
4851 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4852 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4853 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4854 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4855 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4856
4857 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4858 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
4859
4860 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4861 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4862 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4863 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4864
4865 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4866
4867 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4868 be executed on computers running Windows.
4869
4870 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4871 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4872 is done by typing:
4873
4874 make NAME_defconfig
4875
4876 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4877 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4878
4879 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4880 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4881 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4882 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4883 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4884
4885 make TQM823L_defconfig
4886 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4887
4888 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4889 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4890
4891 etc.
4892
4893
4894 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4895 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4896
4897 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4898 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4899 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4900
4901 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4902 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4903 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4904
4905 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4906
4907 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4908 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4909 make O=/tmp/build all
4910
4911 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4912
4913 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4914 make distclean
4915 make NAME_defconfig
4916 make all
4917
4918 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4919 variable.
4920
4921
4922 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4923 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4924 native "make".
4925
4926
4927 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4928 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4929 steps:
4930
4931 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4932 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4933 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
4934 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4935 your board.
4936 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4937 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
4938 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
4939 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4940 to be installed on your target system.
4941 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4942 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4943
4944
4945 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4946 ==============================================================
4947
4948 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4949 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4950 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4951 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4952 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4953
4954 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4955 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4956 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4957 just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4958 configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4959 will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4960 for documentation.

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

5693 Boot Linux:

5695
5696 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5697 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5698 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5699 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5700 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5701
5702
5703 => printenv bootargs
5704 bootargs=root=/dev/ram

5825 More About U-Boot Image Types:
5826 ------------------------------
5827
5828 U-Boot supports the following image types:
5829
5830 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5831 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5832 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5833 the Standalone Program.
5834 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5835 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5836 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5837 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5838 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5839 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5840 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5841 being started.
5842 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5843 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5844 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5845 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5846 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5847 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5848
5849 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5850 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5851 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5852 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5853 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5854 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5855
5856 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5857 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5858 flash memory.
5859
5860 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5861 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5862 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5863 as command interpreter.
5864
5865 Booting the Linux zImage:
5866 -------------------------
5867
5868 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5869 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5870 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5871
5872 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5873 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5874 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5875 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5876
5877
5878 Standalone HOWTO:
5879 =================
5880
5881 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5882 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5883 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5884
5885 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5886
5887 "Hello World" Demo:
5888 -------------------
5889
5890 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5891 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5892 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5893 like that:
5894
5895 => loads
5896 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5897 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
5898 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5899 [file transfer complete]
5900 [connected]
5901 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5902
5903 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5904 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5905 Hello World
5906 argc = 7
5907 argv[0] = "40004"
5908 argv[1] = "Hello"
5909 argv[2] = "World!"
5910 argv[3] = "This"
5911 argv[4] = "is"
5912 argv[5] = "a"
5913 argv[6] = "test."
5914 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5915 Hit any key to exit ...
5916
5917 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5918
5919 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5920 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5921 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5922 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5923 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5924 controlled by the following keys:
5925
5926 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5927 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5928 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5929 q - quit application
5930
5931 => loads

5966 Minicom warning:
5967 ================
5968
5969 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5970 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5971 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5972 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5973 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5974 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5975 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5976 for help with kermit.
5977
5978
5979 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5980 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5981
5982 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5983 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
5984 Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
5985
5986
5987 NetBSD Notes:
5988 =============
5989
5990 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5991 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5992
5993 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5994 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5995 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5996 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5997 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5998 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5999
6000 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6001 # mkdir powerpc
6002 # ln -s powerpc machine
6003 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6004 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6005
6006 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6007 and U-Boot include files.
6008
6009 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6010 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6011 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6012 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6013 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6014
6015
6016 Implementation Internals:
6017 =========================
6018
6019 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6020 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6021 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6022 hardware.
6023
6024
6025 Initial Stack, Global Data:
6026 ---------------------------
6027
6028 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6029 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6030 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6031 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6032 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6033 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6034 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6035 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6036 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6037 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6038
6039 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6040 U-Boot mailing list:
6041
6042 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6043 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
6044 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
6045 ...
6046
6047 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6048 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6049 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6050 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6051 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6052 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6053 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6054 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6055
6056 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6057 is another option for the system designer to use as an
6058 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6059 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6060 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6061 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6062 used.
6063
6064 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6065 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6066 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6067 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6068 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6069 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6070 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6071 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6072 you get the config right.

6076
6077 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6078 code for the initialization procedures:
6079
6080 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6081 to write it.
6082
6083 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6084 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6085 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6086
6087 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6088 that.
6089
6090 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6091 normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6092 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6093 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6094 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6095 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6096 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6097 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6098 reserve for this purpose.
6099
6100 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6101 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6102 GCC's implementation.
6103
6104 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6105 R1: stack pointer
6106 R2: reserved for system use
6107 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6108 R5-R10: parameter passing
6109 R13: small data area pointer
6110 R30: GOT pointer
6111 R31: frame pointer
6112
6113 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6114 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6115 going back and forth between asm and C)
6116
6117 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6118
6119 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6120 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6121 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6122 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6123 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6124 624 text + 127 data).
6125
6126 On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6127 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6128
6129 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6130
6131 On ARM, the following registers are used:
6132
6133 R0: function argument word/integer result
6134 R1-R3: function argument word
6135 R9: platform specific
6136 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6137 R11: argument (frame) pointer
6138 R12: temporary workspace
6139 R13: stack pointer
6140 R14: link register
6141 R15: program counter
6142
6143 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6144
6145 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6146
6147 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6148 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6149
6150 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6151
6152 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6153 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6154
6155 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6156
6157 R0-R1: argument/return
6158 R2-R5: argument
6159 R15: temporary register for assembler
6160 R16: trampoline register
6161 R28: frame pointer (FP)
6162 R29: global pointer (GP)
6163 R30: link register (LP)
6164 R31: stack pointer (SP)
6165 PC: program counter (PC)
6166
6167 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6168
6169 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6170 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6171
6172 Memory Management:
6173 ------------------
6174
6175 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6176 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6177
6178 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6179 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6180 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6181 physical memory banks.
6182
6183 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6184 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6185 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6186 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6187 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6188 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6189 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6190
6191 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6192 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6193
6194 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6195 this:
6196
6197 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6198 :
6199 0x0000 1FFF
6200 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6201 :
6202 :
6203
6204 :
6205 :
6206 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6207 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6208 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6209 :
6210 0x00FD FFFF
6211 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6212 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6213 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6214 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6215
6216
6217 System Initialization:
6218 ----------------------
6219
6220 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6221 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6222 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6223 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6224 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6225 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6226 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6227 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6228 the caches and the SIU.
6229
6230 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6231 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6232 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6233 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6234 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6235 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6236 banks.
6237
6238 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6239 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6240 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
6241 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6242 contiguous memory starting from 0.
6243
6244 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6245 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6246 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6247 pages, and the final stack is set up.
6248
6249 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6250 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6251 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6252 new address in RAM.

6329 Coding Standards:
6330 -----------------
6331
6332 All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6333 coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6334 "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6335
6336 Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6337 MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6338 reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6339 sources.
6340
6341 Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6342 Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6343 in your code.
6344
6345 Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6346 - remove any trailing white space
6347 - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6348 - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6349 - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6350 - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6351
6352 Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6353 with a request to reformat the changes.
6354
6355
6356 Submitting Patches:
6357 -------------------
6358
6359 Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6360 establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6361 may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6362
6363 Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6364
6365 Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6366 see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6367
6368 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6369 it:
6370
6371 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6372 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6373 patch actually fixes something.
6374
6375 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
6376 implementation.
6377
6378 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6379
6380 * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6381 information and associated file and directory references.
6382
6383 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6384 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6385
6386 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6387 document these in the README file.
6388
6389 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6390 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6391 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6392 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6393 with some other mail clients.
6394
6395 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6396 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6397 GNU diff.
6398
6399 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6400 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6401 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6402 affected files).
6403
6404 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6405 and compressed attachments must not be used.
6406
6407 * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6408 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6409
6410 * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6411 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6412
6413
6414 Notes:
6415
6416 * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
6417 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6418 for any of the boards.
6419
6420 * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6421 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6422 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6423
6424 * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6425 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6426 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6427 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6428 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6429 modification.
6430
6431 * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6432 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6433 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6434 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
