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

169
170 Software Configuration:
171 =======================
172
173 Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
174 rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
175
176 There are two classes of configuration variables:
177
178 * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
179 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
180 "CONFIG_".
181
182 * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
183 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
184 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
185 "CONFIG_SYS_".
186
187 Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
188 symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
189 U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
190 allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
191 build.
192
193
194 Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
195 ---------------------------------------------------
196
197 For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
198 configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
199
200 Example: For a TQM823L module type:
201
202 cd u-boot
203 make TQM823L_defconfig
204
205 Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
206 you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
207 doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
208
209 Sandbox Environment:
210 --------------------
211
212 U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
213 board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
214 specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
215 run some of U-Boot's tests.
216
217 See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
218
219
220 Board Initialisation Flow:
221 --------------------------
222
223 This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
224 SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
225
226 Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
227 more detail later in this file.
228
229 At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
230 and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
231 may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
232 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
233
234 Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
235 CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
236
237 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
238 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
239 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
240
241 and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
242 limitations of each of these functions are described below.
243
244 lowlevel_init():
245 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
246 - no global_data or BSS
247 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
248 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
249 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
250 board_init_f()
251 - this is almost never needed
252 - return normally from this function
253
254 board_init_f():
255 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
256 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
257 - global_data is available
258 - stack is in SRAM
259 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
260 only stack variables and global_data
261
262 Non-SPL-specific notes:
263 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
264 can do nothing
265
266 SPL-specific notes:
267 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
268 version as needed.
269 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
270 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
271 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
272 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
273 directly)
274
275 Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
276 this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
277 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
278 memory.
279
280 board_init_r():
281 - purpose: main execution, common code
282 - global_data is available
283 - SDRAM is available
284 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
285 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
286
287 Non-SPL-specific notes:
288 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
289 there.
290
291 SPL-specific notes:
292 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
293 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
294 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
295 done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
296 spl_board_init() function containing this call
297 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
298
299
300
301 Configuration Options:
302 ----------------------
303
304 Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
305 such information is kept in a configuration file
306 "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
307
308 Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
309 "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
310
311
312 Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
313 kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
314 build a config tool - later.
315
316
317 The following options need to be configured:
318
319 - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
320
321 - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
322
323 - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
324 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
325
326 - Marvell Family Member
327 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
328 multiple fs option at one time
329 for marvell soc family
330
331 - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
332 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
333 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
334 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
335 reference PIT/RTC clock
336 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
337 or XTAL/EXTAL)
338
339 - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
340 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
341 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
342 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
343 See doc/README.MPC866
344
345 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
346
347 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
348 of relying on the correctness of the configured
349 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
350 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
351 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
352 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
353
354 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
355
356 Define this option if you want to enable the
357 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
358
359 - 85xx CPU Options:
360 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
361
362 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
363 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
364 compliance, among other possible reasons.
365
366 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
367
368 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
369 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
370 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
371
372 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
373
374 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
375 tree nodes for the given platform.
376
377 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
378
379 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
380 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
381 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
382
383 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
384 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
385
386 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
387 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
388
389 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
390 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
391 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
392 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
393
394 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
395 this erratum.
396
397 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
398 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
399 required during NOR boot.
400
401 CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
402 Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
403 required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
404
405 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
406
407 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
408 according to the A004510 workaround.
409
410 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
411 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
412 connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
413
414 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
415 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
416 which is directly connected to the DSP core.
417
418 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
419 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
420 connected to the DSP core.
421
422 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
423 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
424
425 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
426 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
427 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
428 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
429
430 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
431 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
432 time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
433
434 CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
435 Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
436 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
437
438 - Generic CPU options:
439 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
440 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
441 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
442 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
443 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
444
445 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
446
447 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
448 values is arch specific.

578 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
579 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
580
581 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
582
583 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
584 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
585 be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
586
587 - ARM options:
588 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
589
590 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
591 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
592
593 COUNTER_FREQUENCY
594 Generic timer clock source frequency.
595
596 COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
597 Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
598 different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
599 at run time.
600
601 - Tegra SoC options:
602 CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
603
604 Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
605 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
606 such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
607
608 - Linux Kernel Interface:
609 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
610
611 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
612 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
613 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
614 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
615 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
616 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
617 Linux kernel.
618 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
619 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
620 default environment.
621
622 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
623
624 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
625 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
626 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
627
628 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
629
630 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
631 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
632 concepts).
633
634 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
635 * New libfdt-based support
636 * Adds the "fdt" command
637 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
638
639 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
640 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
641 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
642 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
643 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
644 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
645
646 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
647 addresses
648
649 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
650
651 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
652 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
653
654 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
655
656 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
657 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
658 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
659 the kernel.
660
661 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
662
663 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
664 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
665 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
666 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
667 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
668 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
669
670 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
671
672 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
673 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
674 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
675 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
676 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
677 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
678 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
679
680 - vxWorks boot parameters:
681
682 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
683 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
684 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
685 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
686
687 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
688 the defaults discussed just above.
689
690 - Cache Configuration:
691 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
692 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
693 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
694
695 - Cache Configuration for ARM:
696 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
697 controller
698 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
699 controller register space
700
701 - Serial Ports:
702 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
703
704 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
705
706 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
707
708 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
709
710 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
711
712 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
713 the clock speed of the UARTs.
714
715 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
716
717 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
718 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
719 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
720
721 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
722
723 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
724 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
725
726 - Console Interface:
727 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
728 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
729 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
730 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
731
732 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
733 port routines must be defined elsewhere
734 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
735
736 - Console Baudrate:
737 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
738 Select one of the baudrates listed in
739 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
740 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
741
742 - Console Rx buffer length
743 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
744 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
745 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
746 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
747 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
748 the SMC.
749
750 - Autoboot Command:
751 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
752 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
753 define a command string that is automatically executed
754 when no character is read on the console interface
755 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
756
757 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
758 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
759 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
760 environment value "bootargs".
761
762 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
763 The value of these goes into the environment as
764 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
765 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
766 RAM and NFS.
767
768 - Bootcount:
769 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
770 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
771 cycle, see:
772 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
773
774 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
775 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
776 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
777 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
778 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
779 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
780 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
781 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
782 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
783
784 - Pre-Boot Commands:
785 CONFIG_PREBOOT
786
787 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
788 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
789 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
790 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
791 entering interactive mode.
792
793 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
794 automatically generated or modified. For an example
795 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
796 modified when the user holds down a certain
797 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
798 booting the systems
799
800 - Serial Download Echo Mode:
801 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
802 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
803 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
804 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
805 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
806 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
807 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
808
809 - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
810 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
811 Select one of the baudrates listed in
812 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
813
814 - Monitor Functions:
815 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
816 from the build by using the #include files
817 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
818 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.
819
820 The default command configuration includes all commands
821 except those marked below with a "*".

913 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
914 support you can write:
915
916 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
917 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
918
919 Other Commands:
920 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
921
922 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
923 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
924 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
925 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
926 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
927 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
928 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
929 initial stack and some data.
930
931
932 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
933
934 - Removal of commands
935 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
936 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
937 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
938 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
939 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
940 simple boot procedures.
941
942 - Regular expression support:
943 CONFIG_REGEX
944 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
945 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
946 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
947 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
948
949 - Device tree:
950 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
951 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
952 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
953 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
954 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
955 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
956
957 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
958 be done using one of the three options below:
959
960 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
961 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
962 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
963 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
964 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
965 the global data structure as gd->blob.
966
967 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
968 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
969 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
970 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
971
972 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
973
974 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
975 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
976 still use the individual files if you need something more
977 exotic.
978
979 CONFIG_OF_BOARD
980 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree
981 provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with
982 the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support
983 this option (see include/fdtdec.h file).
984
985 - Watchdog:
986 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
987 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
988 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
989 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
990 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
991 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
992 available, then no further board specific code should
993 be needed to use it.
994
995 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
996 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
997 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
998 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
999
1000 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1001 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1002
1003 - U-Boot Version:
1004 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1005 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1006 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1007 version as printed by the "version" command.
1008 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1009 next reset.
1010
1011 - Real-Time Clock:
1012
1013 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1014 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1015 following options:
1016
1017 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1018 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1019 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1020 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1021 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1022 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1023 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1024 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1025 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
1026 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1027 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1028 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1029 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1030 RV3029 RTC.
1031
1032 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1033 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1034
1035 - GPIO Support:
1036 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1037
1038 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1039 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1040 pins supported by a particular chip.
1041
1042 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1043 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1044
1045 - I/O tracing:
1046 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1047 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1048 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1049 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1050 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1051 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1052 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1053 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1054
1055 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1056 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1057 still continue to operate.
1058
1059 iotrace is enabled
1060 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1061 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1062 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1063 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1064 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1065 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1066
1067 - Timestamp Support:
1068
1069 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1070 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1071 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1072 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1073
1074 - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1075 Zero or more of the following:
1076 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1077 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1078 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1079 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1080 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1081 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1082 disk/part_efi.c
1083 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
1084
1085 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1086 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1087 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1088
1089 - IDE Reset method:
1090 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1091 board configurations files but used nowhere!
1092
1093 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1094 be performed by calling the function
1095 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1096 which has to be defined in a board specific file
1097
1098 - ATAPI Support:
1099 CONFIG_ATAPI
1100
1101 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1102
1103 - LBA48 Support
1104 CONFIG_LBA48
1105
1106 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1107 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1108 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'

1208 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1209 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1210 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1211 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1212 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1213 control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1214 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.

1298 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1299 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1300 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1301 storage devices.
1302 Note:
1303 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1304 (TEAC FD-05PUB).
1305 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1306 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK

1323 HW module registers.
1324
1325 - USB Device:
1326 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1327 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1328 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1329 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1330 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1331 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1332 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1333 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1334 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1335 a Linux host by
1336 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1337 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1338 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1339 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1340
1341 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1342 Define this to build a UDC device
1343
1344 CONFIG_USB_TTY
1345 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1346 talk to the UDC device
1347
1348 CONFIG_USBD_HS
1349 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1350 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1351 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1352 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1353 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1354 speed.
1355
1356 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1357 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1358 be set to usbtty.
1359
1360 mpc8xx:
1361 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1362 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1363 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1364
1365 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1366 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1367 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1368 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1369 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1370 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1371
1372 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1373 Define this string as the name of your company for
1374 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1375
1376 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1377 Define this string as the name of your product
1378 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1379
1380 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1381 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1382 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1383 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1384 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1385
1386 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1387 Define this as the unique Product ID
1388 for your device
1389 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1390
1391 - ULPI Layer Support:
1392 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1393 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1394 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1395 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1396 viewport is supported.
1397 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1398 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1399 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1400 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1401 the appropriate value in Hz.
1402
1403 - MMC Support:
1404 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1405 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1406 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1407 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1408 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1409 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1410
1411 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1412 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1413
1414 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1415 Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1416
1417 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1418 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1419
1420 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1421 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1422
1423 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1424 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1425 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1426
1427 - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1428 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1429 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1430
1431 CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1432 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1433 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1434 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1435 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1436
1437 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1438 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1439
1440 CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1441 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1442
1443 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1444 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1445 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1446 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1447 one that would help mostly the developer.
1448
1449 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1450 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1451 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1452 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1453 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1454
1455 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1456 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1457 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1458 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1459 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1460 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1461
1462 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1463 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1464 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1465 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1466
1467 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1468 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1469 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1470 sending again an USB request to the device.
1471
1472 - USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1473 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1474 This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1475
1476 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1477 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1478 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1479 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1480 used on Android devices.
1481 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1482
1483 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1484 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1485 image format header.
1486
1487 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1488 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1489 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1490 downloaded images.
1491
1492 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1493 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1494 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1495 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1496
1497 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1498 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1499 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1500 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1501
1502 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1503 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1504 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1505 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1506
1507 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1508 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1509 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1510 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1511 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1512 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1513 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1514 The default is "gpt" if undefined.
1515
1516 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1517 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1518 image to DOS MBR.
1519 This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1520 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1521 If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.
1522
1523 - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1524 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND
1525 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1526
1527 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1528 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1529 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1530
1531 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1532 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1533
1534 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1535 file in FAT formatted partition.
1536
1537 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1538 user to write files to FAT.
1539
1540 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1541 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1542
1543 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1544 a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1545
1546 - Keyboard Support:
1547 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1548
1549 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1550
1551 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1552 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1553 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1554 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1555 instead.
1556
1557 - Video support:
1558 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1559 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1560 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1561 support, and should also define these other macros:
1562
1563 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1564 CONFIG_VIDEO
1565 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1566 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1567 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1568 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1569 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1570
1571 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1572 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1573 boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
1574 description of this variable.
1575
1576 - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1577
1578 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1579 display); also select one of the supported displays
1580 by defining one of these:
1581
1582 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1583
1584 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1585
1586 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1587
1588 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1589
1590 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1591
1592 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1593 Active, color, single scan.
1594
1595 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1596
1597 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1598 Active, color, single scan.
1599
1600 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1601
1602 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1603 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1604
1605 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1606
1607 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1608 Active, color, single scan.
1609
1610 CONFIG_HLD1045
1611
1612 HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1613 Active, color, single scan.
1614
1615 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1616
1617 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1618 or
1619 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
1620 or
1621 Hitachi SP14Q002
1622
1623 320x240. Black & white.
1624
1625 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1626
1627 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1628 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1629 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1630 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1631 a per-section basis.
1632
1633
1634 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1635
1636 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1637 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1638 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1639 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1640 printed out.
1641 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1642 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1643 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1644 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1645 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1646 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1647 1 = 90 degree rotation
1648 2 = 180 degree rotation
1649 3 = 270 degree rotation
1650
1651 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1652 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1653
1654 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1655
1656 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1657
1658 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1659
1660 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1661 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1662
1663 - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1664
1665 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1666 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1667 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1668 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1669 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1670 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1671 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1672 loaded very quickly after power-on.
1673
1674 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1675
1676 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1677 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1678 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
1679 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1680 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1681 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1682 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1683 there is no need to set this option.
1684
1685 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1686
1687 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1688 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1689 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1690 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1691 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1692 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1693
1694 Example:
1695 setenv splashpos m,m
1696 => image at center of screen
1697
1698 setenv splashpos 30,20
1699 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1700
1701 setenv splashpos -10,m
1702 => vertically centered image
1703 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1704
1705 - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1706
1707 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1708 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1709 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1710
1711 - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1712
1713 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1714 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1715 bmp command.
1716
1717 - Compression support:
1718 CONFIG_GZIP
1719
1720 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1721
1722 CONFIG_BZIP2
1723
1724 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1725 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1726 compressed images are supported.
1727
1728 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1729 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1730 be at least 4MB.
1731
1732 CONFIG_LZMA
1733
1734 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1735 images is included.
1736
1737 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1738 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1739 formula:
1740
1741 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1742
1743 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1744 and Literal pos bits.
1745
1746 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1747 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1748 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1749 a very small buffer.
1750
1751 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1752 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1753 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1754
1755 CONFIG_LZO
1756
1757 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1758 is included.
1759
1760 - MII/PHY support:
1761 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1762
1763 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1764
1765 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1766
1767 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1768
1769 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1770
1771 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1772 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1773
1774 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1775
1776 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1777 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1778 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1779 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1780
1781 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1782
1783 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1784 command issued before MII status register can be read
1785
1786 - IP address:
1787 CONFIG_IPADDR
1788
1789 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1790 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1791 determined through e.g. bootp.
1792 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
1793
1794 - Server IP address:
1795 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1796
1797 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1798 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1799 (Environment variable "serverip")
1800
1801 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1802
1803 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1804 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1805
1806 - Gateway IP address:
1807 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1808
1809 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1810 default router where packets to other networks are
1811 sent to.
1812 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1813
1814 - Subnet mask:
1815 CONFIG_NETMASK
1816
1817 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1818 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1819 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1820 forwarded through a router.
1821 (Environment variable "netmask")
1822
1823 - Multicast TFTP Mode:
1824 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1825
1826 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1827 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
1828 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
1829 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1830 multicast group.
1831
1832 - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1833 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1834
1835 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1836 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1837 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1838 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1839 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1840 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1841 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1842 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1843 following delays are inserted then:
1844
1845 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1846 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1847 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1848 4th and following
1849 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1850
1851 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1852
1853 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1854 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1855 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1856 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1857 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1858 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1859 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1860 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1861 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1862 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1863 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1864 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1865 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1866 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1867 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1868
1869 - DHCP Advanced Options:
1870 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1871 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1872
1873 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1874 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1875 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1876 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1877 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1878 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1879 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1880 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1881 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1882 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1883 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1884 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1885 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1886
1887 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1888 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1889
1890 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1891 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1892 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1893 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1894 is not available.
1895
1896 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1897 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1898 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1899 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1900 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1901 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1902 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1903 is defined.
1904
1905 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1906 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1907 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1908 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1909 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1910 option 12 to the DHCP server.
1911
1912 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1913
1914 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1915 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1916 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1917 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1918 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1919 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1920 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1921 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1922 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1923 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1924 this delay.
1925
1926 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1927 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1928 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1929 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1930 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1931
1932 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1933
1934 - CDP Options:
1935 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1936
1937 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1938
1939 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1940
1941 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1942 of the device.
1943
1944 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1945
1946 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1947 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1948 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1949
1950 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1951
1952 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1953 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1954
1955 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1956
1957 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1958
1959 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1960
1961 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1962
1963 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1964
1965 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1966
1967 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1968
1969 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1970 device in .1 of milliwatts.
1971
1972 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1973
1974 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1975
1976 - Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
1977
1978 Several configurations allow to display the current
1979 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1980 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1981 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1982 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1983 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1984 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
1985 feature in U-Boot.
1986
1987 Additional options:
1988
1989 CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1990 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
1991 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
1992 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1993 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
1994
1995 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
1996 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
1997 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
1998 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
1999 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2000 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2001
2002 - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2003
2004 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2005 on those systems that support this (optional)
2006 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2007
2008 - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2009
2010 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2011 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2012 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2013 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2014 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2015 interface.
2016

2037 bus.
2038 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define
2039 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset

2148
2149 additional defines:
2150
2151 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2152 Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use.
2153
2154 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2155 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2156 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2157 omit this define.
2158
2159 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2160 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2161 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2162 define.
2163
2164 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2165 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2166 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2167 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2168 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2169
2170 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2171 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2172 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2173 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2174 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2175 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2176 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2177 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2178 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2179 }
2180
2181 which defines
2182 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2183 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2184 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2185 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2186 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
2187 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2188 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2189 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2190 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2191
2192 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2193
2194 - Legacy I2C Support:
2195 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2196 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2197 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2198
2199 I2C_INIT
2200
2201 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2202 controller or configure ports.
2203
2204 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2205
2206 I2C_PORT
2207
2208 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2209 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2210 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2211
2212 I2C_ACTIVE
2213
2214 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2215 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2216 define can be null.
2217
2218 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2219
2220 I2C_TRISTATE
2221
2222 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2223 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2224 define can be null.
2225
2226 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2227
2228 I2C_READ
2229
2230 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2231 false if it is low.
2232
2233 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2234
2235 I2C_SDA(bit)
2236
2237 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2238 is false, it clears it (low).
2239
2240 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2241 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2242 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2243
2244 I2C_SCL(bit)
2245
2246 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2247 is false, it clears it (low).
2248
2249 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2250 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2251 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2252
2253 I2C_DELAY
2254
2255 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2256 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2257 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2258 like:
2259
2260 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2261
2262 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2263
2264 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2265 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2266 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2267 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2268
2269 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2270 the generic GPIO functions.
2271
2272 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2273
2274 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2275 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2276 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2277 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2278 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2279 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2280 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2281 is run early in the boot sequence.
2282
2283 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2284
2285 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2286 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2287 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2288 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2289
2290 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2291
2292 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2293 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2294 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2295 a 1D array of device addresses
2296
2297 e.g.
2298 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2299 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2300
2301 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2302
2303 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2304 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2305
2306 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2307
2308 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2309
2310 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2311 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2312
2313 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2314
2315 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2316 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2317
2318 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2319
2320 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2321 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2322 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2323 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2324 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2325 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2326 the other.
2327
2328 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2329
2330 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2331 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2332 D/As on the SACSng board)
2333
2334 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2335
2336 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2337 only SH7757 is supported.
2338
2339 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2340
2341 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2342 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2343 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2344 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2345 defined, the board configuration must define several
2346 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2347 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2348
2349 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2350
2351 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2352 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2353 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2354 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2355 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2356
2357 CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2358
2359 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2360 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2361
2362 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2363 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2364 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
2365
2366 - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2367
2368 Enables FPGA subsystem.
2369
2370 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2371
2372 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2373 (ALTERA, XILINX)
2374
2375 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2376
2377 Enables support for FPGA family.
2378 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2379
2380 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2381
2382 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2383
2384 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2385
2386 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2387
2388 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2389
2390 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2391 status by the configuration function. This option
2392 will require a board or device specific function to
2393 be written.
2394
2395 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2396
2397 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2398 configuration driver.
2399
2400 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2401 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2402
2403 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2404
2405 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2406 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2407 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2408 indicated a CRC error).
2409
2410 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2411
2412 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2413 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2414 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2415 ms.
2416
2417 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2418
2419 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2420 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2421
2422 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2423
2424 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2425 200 ms.
2426
2427 - Configuration Management:
2428 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2429
2430 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2431 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2432 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2433 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2434 make / buildman.
2435
2436 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2437
2438 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2439 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2440
2441 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2442
2443 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2444 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2445 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2446 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2447 protects these variables from casual modification by
2448 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2449 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2450 change this behaviour:
2451
2452 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2453 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2454 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2455 these parameters.
2456
2457 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2458 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2459 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2460 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2461 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2462 read-only.]
2463
2464 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2465 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2466 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2467 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2468
2469 - Protected RAM:
2470 CONFIG_PRAM
2471
2472 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2473 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2474 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2475 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2476 this default value by defining an environment
2477 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2478 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2479 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2480 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2481 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2482 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2483 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2484
2485 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2486 saveenv
2487
2488 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2489 either, which results in a memory region that will
2490 not be affected by reboots.
2491
2492 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2493 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2494 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2495 following board configurations are known to be
2496 "pRAM-clean":
2497
2498 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2499 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2500 FLAGADM, TQM8260
2501
2502 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2503 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2504 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2505 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2506 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2507 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2508 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2509
2510 - Error Recovery:
2511 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2512
2513 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2514 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2515 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2516 system where you want the system to reboot
2517 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2518 useful during development since you can try to debug
2519 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2520
2521 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2522
2523 This variable defines the number of retries for
2524 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2525 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2526 default value of 5 is used.
2527
2528 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2529
2530 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2531
2532 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2533
2534 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2535 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2536 try longer timeout such as
2537 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2538
2539 - Command Interpreter:
2540 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2541
2542 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2543
2544 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2545
2546 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2547 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2548 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2549
2550 Note:
2551
2552 In the current implementation, the local variables
2553 space and global environment variables space are
2554 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2555 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2556 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2557 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2558 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2559
2560 Global environment variables are those you use
2561 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2562 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2563 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2564
2565 To store commands and special characters in a
2566 variable, please use double quotation marks
2567 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2568 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2569 symbols.
2570
2571 - Command Line Editing and History:
2572 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2573
2574 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2575 command line input operations
2576
2577 - Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2578 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2579
2580 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2581 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2582 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2583 and PS2.
2584
2585 - Default Environment:
2586 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2587
2588 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2589 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2590 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2591
2592 For example, place something like this in your
2593 board's config file:
2594
2595 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2596 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2597 "myvar2=value2\0"
2598
2599 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2600 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2601 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2602 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2603 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2604 You better know what you are doing here.
2605
2606 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2607 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2608 the environment like the "source" command or the
2609 boot command first.
2610
2611 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2612
2613 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2614 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2615 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2616
2617 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2618
2619 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2620 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2621 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2622 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2623 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2624
2625 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2626
2627 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2628 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2629 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2630
2631 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2632
2633 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2634 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2635 that so that the environment is not available until
2636 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2637 this is instead controlled by the value of
2638 /config/load-environment.
2639
2640 - DataFlash Support:
2641 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2642
2643 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2644 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2645 commands cp, md...
2646
2647 - Serial Flash support
2648 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2649
2650 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2651 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2652
2653 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2654 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2655 commands.
2656
2657 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2658 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2659 flash is present on the system.
2660
2661 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2662 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2663 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2664 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2665
2666 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2667
2668 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2669 test ('sf test').
2670
2671 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2672
2673 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2674 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2675 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
2676
2677 - SystemACE Support:
2678 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2679
2680 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2681 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2682 of the chip must also be defined in the
2683 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2684
2685 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2686 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2687
2688 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2689 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2690
2691 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2692 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2693
2694 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2695 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2696 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2697 number generator is used.
2698
2699 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2700 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2701 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2702
2703 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2704 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2705 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2706 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2707 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2708 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2709 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2710
2711 - Hashing support:
2712 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2713
2714 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2715 size a little.
2716
2717 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2718 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2719
2720 - bootcount support:
2721 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2722
2723 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2724 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2725
2726 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2727 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2728 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2729 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2730 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2731 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2732 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2733 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2734 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2735 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2736 the bootcounter.
2737 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
2738
2739 - Show boot progress:
2740 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2741
2742 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2743 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2744 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2745 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2746 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2747 the following checkpoints are implemented:
2748

2902
2903 - legacy image format:
2904 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
2905 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
2906
2907 Default:
2908 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
2909
2910 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
2911 disable the legacy image format
2912
2913 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
2914 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
2915
2916 - Standalone program support:
2917 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
2918
2919 This option defines a board specific value for the
2920 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
2921 overwriting the architecture dependent default
2922 settings.
2923
2924 - Frame Buffer Address:
2925 CONFIG_FB_ADDR
2926
2927 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
2928 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
2929 when using a graphics controller has separate video
2930 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2931 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2932 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2933 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2934 configured panel size.
2935
2936 Please see board_init_f function.
2937
2938 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
2939 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
2940 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
2941 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
2942
2943 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
2944 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
2945
2946 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
2947 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
2948
2949 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
2950 Needed for mtdparts command support.
2951
2952 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
2953
2954 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
2955 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
2956
2957 - UBI support
2958 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
2959
2960 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
2961 with the UBI flash translation layer
2962
2963 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
2964
2965 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
2966
2967 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
2968 warnings and errors enabled.
2969
2970
2971 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
2972 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
2973 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
2974 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
2975 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
2976 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
2977
2978 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
2979 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
2980 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
2981 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
2982 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
2983
2984 default: 4096
2985
2986 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
2987 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
2988 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
2989 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
2990 flash), this value is ignored.
2991
2992 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
2993 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
2994 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
2995 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
2996 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
2997 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
2998
2999 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3000 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3001 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3002 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3003 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3004 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3005 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3006 partition.
3007
3008 default: 20
3009
3010 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3011 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3012 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3013 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3014 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3015 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3016 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3017 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3018 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3019 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3020 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3021 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3022
3023 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3024 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3025 without a fastmap.
3026 default: 0
3027
3028 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3029 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3030 default: 0
3031
3032 - UBIFS support
3033 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3034
3035 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3036 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3037
3038 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3039
3040 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3041
3042 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3043 warnings and errors enabled.
3044
3045 - SPL framework
3046 CONFIG_SPL
3047 Enable building of SPL globally.
3048
3049 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3050 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3051
3052 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3053 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3054 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3055 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3056 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3057 must not be both defined at the same time.
3058
3059 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3060 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3061 linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3062 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3063 not exceed it.
3064
3065 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3066 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3067
3068 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3069 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
3070 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3071
3072 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3073 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3074
3075 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3076 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3077 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3078 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3079 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3080 must not be both defined at the same time.
3081
3082 CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3083 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3084
3085 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3086 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3087 loaded does not have a signature.
3088 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3089 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3090 will be caught.
3091 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3092 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3093 and thus should be skipped silently.
3094
3095 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3096 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3097 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
3098 CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3099
3100 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3101 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3102 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3103 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3104 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3105
3106 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3107 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3108
3109 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3110 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework
3111 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3112 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3113
3114 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3115 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3116 See also: doc/README.falcon
3117
3118 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3119 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3120 about the running system.
3121
3122 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
3123 Arch init code should be built for a very small image
3124
3125 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
3126 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3127 used in raw mode
3128
3129 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3130 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3131 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3132
3133 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
3134 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
3135 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
3136 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
3137 (for falcon mode)
3138
3139 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
3140 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3141 used in fs mode
3142
3143 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
3144 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
3145
3146 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
3147 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
3148 from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3149
3150 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
3151 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
3152 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3153
3154 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3155 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3156 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3157 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3158 loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3159
3160 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3161 Avoid SPL relocation
3162
3163 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3164 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires
3165 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
3166
3167 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
3168 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.
3169
3170 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
3171 Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3172
3173 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE
3174 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that
3175 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3176
3177 CONFIG_SPL_UBI
3178 Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
3179 loader
3180
3181 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3182 Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3183 if you need to save space.
3184
3185 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3186 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3187 SPL binary.
3188
3189 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3190 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3191 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3192 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3193 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3194 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3195 to read U-Boot
3196
3197 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3198 Add support NAND boot
3199
3200 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3201 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3202
3203 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3204 Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3205
3206 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3207 Size of image to load
3208
3209 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3210 Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3211
3212 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3213 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3214 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3215
3216 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3217 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3218 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3219
3220 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3221 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3222
3223 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3224 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3225 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3226 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3227 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3228 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3229
3230 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3231 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3232 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3233 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3234
3235 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3236 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3237 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3238 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3239 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3240
3241 - TPL framework
3242 CONFIG_TPL
3243 Enable building of TPL globally.
3244
3245 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3246 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3247 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3248 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3249 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3250 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3251
3252 - Interrupt support (PPC):
3253
3254 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3255 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3256 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3257 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3258 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3259 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3260 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3261 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3262 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3263 general timer_interrupt().
3264
3265
3266 Board initialization settings:
3267 ------------------------------
3268
3269 During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3270 to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3271 before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3272 following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3273 architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3274 typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3275
3276 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3277 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3278 - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3279 - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3280
3281 Configuration Settings:
3282 -----------------------
3283
3284 - CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3285 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3286
3287 - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3288 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3289
3290 - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3291 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3292
3293 - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3294 prompt for user input.
3295
3296 - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
3297
3298 - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
3299
3300 - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3301
3302 - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3303 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3304 booted
3305
3306 - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3307 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3308
3309 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3310 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3311 simple memory test.
3312
3313 - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3314 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3315
3316 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3317 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3318 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3319
3320 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3321 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
3322 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3323 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3324 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3325 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3326 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3327 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3328
3329 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3330 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3331 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3332 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3333 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3334 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3335 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3336 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3337 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3338 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3339
3340 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3341 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3342 be touched.
3343
3344 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3345 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3346 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3347 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3348 problems.
3349
3350 - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3351 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3352
3353 - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3354 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3355
3356 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3357 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3358
3359 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3360 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3361 make config files to be same as the text base address
3362 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3363 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3364
3365 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3366 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3367 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3368 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3369 flash sector.
3370
3371 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3372 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3373
3374 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3375 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3376 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3377 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3378 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3379 space.
3380
3381 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3382 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3383 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3384 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3385 U-Boot relocates itself.
3386
3387 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3388 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3389 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3390 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3391
3392 - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3393 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3394 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3395 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3396 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3397 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3398 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3399 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3400 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3401 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3402 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3403 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3404 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3405 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3406 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3407 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3408
3409 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3410
3411 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3412 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3413 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3414 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3415 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3416
3417 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3418 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3419 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3420 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3421 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3422 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3423 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3424 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
3425 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3426 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3427 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3428
3429 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3430 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3431 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3432 is enabled.
3433
3434 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3435 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3436 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3437
3438 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3439 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3440 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3441
3442 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3443 Max number of Flash memory banks
3444
3445 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3446 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3447
3448 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3449 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3450
3451 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3452 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3453
3454 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3455 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3456
3457 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3458 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3459
3460 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3461 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3462 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3463
3464 - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3465
3466 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3467 without this option such a download has to be
3468 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3469 copy from RAM to flash.
3470
3471 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3472 you can check if the download worked before you erase
3473 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3474 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3475 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3476
3477 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3478 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3479 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3480
3481 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3482 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3483 in the drivers directory
3484
3485 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3486 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3487 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3488 to the MTD layer.
3489
3490 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3491 Use buffered writes to flash.
3492
3493 - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3494 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3495 write commands.
3496
3497 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3498 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3499 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3500 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3501 optionally available.
3502
3503 - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3504 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3505 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3506 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3507
3508 - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3509 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3510 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3511 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3512 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3513 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3514 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3515 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3516
3517 - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3518 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3519 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3520 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3521 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3522 on high Ethernet traffic.
3523 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3524
3525 - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3526
3527 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3528 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3529 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3530 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3531 lib/hashtable.c for details.
3532
3533 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3534 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3535 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3536 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3537 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3538 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3539
3540 The format of the list is:
3541 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3542 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
3543 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
3544 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3545 list = entry[,list]
3546
3547 The type attributes are:
3548 s - String (default)
3549 d - Decimal
3550 x - Hexadecimal
3551 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3552 i - IP address
3553 m - MAC address
3554
3555 The access attributes are:
3556 a - Any (default)
3557 r - Read-only
3558 o - Write-once
3559 c - Change-default
3560
3561 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3562 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3563 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3564
3565 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3566 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3567 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3568 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3569 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3570 ".flags" variable.
3571
3572 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3573 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3574 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3575
3576 - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3577 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3578 access flags.
3579
3580 - CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3581 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3582 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3583 building U-Boot to enable this.
3584
3585 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3586 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3587 following configurations:
3588
3589 - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3590
3591 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3592 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3593
3594 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3595
3596 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3597
3598 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3599 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3600 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3601 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3602 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3603 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3604 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3605 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3606 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3607 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3608 between U-Boot and the environment.
3609
3610 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3611
3612 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3613 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3614 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3615 for this sector is given here.
3616
3617 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3618
3619 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3620
3621 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3622 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3623 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3624
3625 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3626
3627 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3628
3629
3630 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3631 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3632 the environment.
3633
3634 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3635
3636 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3637 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3638 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3639 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3640
3641 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3642 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3643 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3644 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3645 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3646 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3647 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3648 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3649 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3650
3651 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3652 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
3653
3654 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
3655 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3656 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
3657 a "saveenv" operation.
3658
3659 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3660 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3661 accordingly!
3662
3663
3664 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
3665
3666 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3667 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3668 environment.
3669
3670 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3671 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3672
3673 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
3674 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3675 can just be read and written to, without any special
3676 provision.
3677
3678 BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3679 in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
3680 console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
3681 U-Boot will hang.
3682
3683 Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3684 environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3685 keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3686 to save the current settings.
3687
3688
3689 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
3690
3691 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3692 device and a driver for it.
3693
3694 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3695 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3696
3697 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3698 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3699
3700 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
3701 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3702 The default address is zero.
3703
3704 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
3705 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
3706
3707 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
3708 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3709 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3710 would require six bits.
3711
3712 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
3713 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
3714 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
3715
3716 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
3717 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3718 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3719
3720 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
3721 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3722 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3723 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3724 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3725 byte chips.
3726
3727 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3728 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3729 in the chip address.
3730
3731 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
3732 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3733
3734 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3735 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3736 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3737
3738 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3739 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3740 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3741 EEPROM. For example:
3742
3743 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
3744
3745 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3746 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
3747
3748 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
3749
3750 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
3751 want to use for the environment.
3752
3753 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3754 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3755 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3756
3757 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3758 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3759 at the specified address.
3760
3761 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
3762
3763 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
3764 want to use for the environment.
3765
3766 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3767 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3768
3769 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3770 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3771 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
3772
3773 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3774
3775 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
3776
3777 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3778
3779 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3780 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3781 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3782 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
3783 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
3784
3785 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
3786 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
3787
3788 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
3789
3790 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
3791
3792 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
3793
3794 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
3795
3796 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
3797
3798 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3799
3800 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3801 want to use for the local device's environment.
3802
3803 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3804 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3805
3806 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3807 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3808 local device can get the environment from remote memory
3809 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
3810
3811 BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3812 "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
3813 environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3814 but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
3815
3816 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
3817
3818 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3819 for the environment.
3820
3821 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3822 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3823
3824 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3825 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3826 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3827
3828 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3829
3830 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3831 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3832 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3833 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
3834 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3835
3836 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3837
3838 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3839 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3840 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3841 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3842 the range to be avoided.
3843
3844 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3845
3846 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3847 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3848 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3849 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3850 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
3851
3852 - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3853
3854 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3855 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3856 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3857
3858 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3859
3860 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3861 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3862 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3863
3864 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3865
3866 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3867
3868 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3869
3870 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3871 environment in.
3872
3873 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3874
3875 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3876 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3877 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3878
3879 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3880 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3881
3882 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3883 when storing the env in UBI.
3884
3885 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
3886 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
3887
3888 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
3889
3890 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
3891
3892 - FAT_ENV_DEVICE_AND_PART:
3893
3894 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
3895 be as following:
3896
3897 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
3898 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
3899 partition table.
3900 - "D:0": device D.
3901 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
3902 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
3903 table.
3904 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
3905 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
3906 partition table then means device D.
3907
3908 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
3909
3910 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
3911 environment.
3912
3913 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
3914 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
3915
3916 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3917
3918 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3919 environment.
3920
3921 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3922
3923 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3924
3925 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3926
3927 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3928 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3929 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3930
3931 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3932 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3933
3934 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3935 area within the specified MMC device.
3936
3937 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3938 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3939 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3940 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3941 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3942 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3943 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3944
3945 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3946 MMC sector boundary.
3947
3948 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3949
3950 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3951 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3952 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3953 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3954
3955 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3956 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3957
3958 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3959 an MMC sector boundary.
3960
3961 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3962
3963 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3964 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3965 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3966
3967 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
3968
3969 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3970 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3971 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3972 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3973 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3974 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3975 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3976
3977 Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
3978 has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
3979 created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
3980 until then to read environment variables.
3981
3982 The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3983 is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3984 with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3985 necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3986 "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3987 have any device yet where we could complain.]
3988
3989 Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3990 the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
3991 use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
3992
3993 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
3994 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
3995
3996 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
3997 also needs to be defined.
3998
3999 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4000 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4001
4002 - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4003 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4004 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4005 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4006 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4007 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4008
4009 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4010 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4011 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4012 to do this.
4013
4014 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4015 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4016 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4017 present.
4018
4019 - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4020 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4021 build system checks that the actual size does not
4022 exceed it.
4023
4024 Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4025 ---------------------------------------------------
4026
4027 - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4028 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4029
4030 - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4031 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4032
4033 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4034 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4035 the IMMR register after a reset.
4036
4037 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4038 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4039 PowerPC SOCs.
4040
4041 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4042 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4043 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4044
4045 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4046 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4047
4048 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4049 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4050 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
4051 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
4052 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4053 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4054 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4055
4056 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4057 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4058
4059 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4060 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4061 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
4062 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4063 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4064
4065 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4066 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4067 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4068 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4069
4070 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4071 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4072 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4073
4074 - Floppy Disk Support:
4075 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4076
4077 the default drive number (default value 0)
4078
4079 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4080
4081 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4082 (default value 1)
4083
4084 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4085
4086 defines the offset of register from address. It
4087 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4088 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4089
4090 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4091 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4092 default value.
4093
4094 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4095 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4096 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4097 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4098 initializations.
4099
4100 - CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4101 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4102 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4103 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4104 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4105 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4106 is required.
4107
4108 - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4109 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4110 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4111
4112 - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4113
4114 Start address of memory area that can be used for
4115 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4116 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4117 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4118 will become available only after programming the
4119 memory controller and running certain initialization
4120 sequences.
4121
4122 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4123 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4124 - MPC824X: data cache
4125 - PPC4xx: data cache
4126
4127 - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4128
4129 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4130 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4131 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4132 data is located at the end of the available space
4133 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4134 GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4135 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4136 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4137
4138 Note:
4139 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4140 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4141 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4142 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4143 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
4144
4145 - CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6)
4146
4147 - CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9)
4148
4149 - CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26)
4150
4151 - CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31)
4152
4153 - CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30)
4154
4155 - CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27)
4156
4157 - CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM:
4158 SDRAM timing
4159
4160 - CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA:
4161 periodic timer for refresh
4162
4163 - CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47)
4164
4165 - FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM,
4166 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP,
4167 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM,
4168 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM:
4169 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH)
4170
4171 - SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE,
4172 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM,
4173 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM:
4174 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM)
4175
4176 - CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K,
4177 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL:
4178 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer

4209 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4210 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4211 required.
4212
4213 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4214 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4215 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4216 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4217 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4218 by coreboot or similar.
4219
4220 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4221 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4222

4230 Board has SRIO 2 port available
4231
4232 - CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
4233 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
4234
4235 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:
4236 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region

4242 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4243
4244 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4245 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4246 a 16 bit bus.
4247 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4248 Example of drivers that use it:
4249 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4250 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4251
4252 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4253 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4254 a default value will be used.
4255
4256 - CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
4257 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4258 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4259
4260 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4261 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4262
4263 - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4264 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4265 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4266 to something your driver can deal with.
4267
4268 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4269 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4270 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4271 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4272 header files or board specific files.
4273
4274 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4275 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4276
4277 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4278 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4279
4280 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4281 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4282
4283 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4284 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4285 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4286
4287 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4288 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4289
4290 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4291 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4292 to the given FEC; i. e.
4293 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4294 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4295
4296 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4297
4298 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4299 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4300 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4301
4302 - CONFIG_RMII
4303 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4304 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4305 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4306
4307 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4308 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4309 The syntax is:
4310
4311 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4312
4313 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4314 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4315 area should have.
4316
4317 - CONFIG_LOOPW
4318 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4319 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4320
4321 - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4322 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4323 "md/mw" commands.
4324 Examples:
4325
4326 => mdc.b 10 4 500
4327 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4328
4329 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4330 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4331
4332 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4333 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4334
4335 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4336 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4337 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4338 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4339 relocate itself into RAM.
4340
4341 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4342 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4343 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4344 these initializations itself.
4345
4346 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4347 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4348 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4349 instruction cache) is still performed.
4350
4351 - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4352 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4353 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4354 compiling a NAND SPL.
4355
4356 - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4357 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4358 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4359 It is loaded by the SPL.
4360
4361 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4362 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4363 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4364 previous 4k of the .text section.
4365
4366 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4367 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4368 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4369 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4370 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4371 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4372 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4373 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4374
4375 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4376 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4377 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4378
4379 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4380 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4381
4382 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4383 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4384 driver that uses this:
4385 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4386
4387 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4388 -----------------------------------
4389
4390 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4391 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4392 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4393 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4394 within that device.
4395
4396 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4397 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4398 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4399 is also specified.
4400
4401 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4402 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4403 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4404 is also specified.
4405
4406 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4407 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4408 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4409 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4410 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4411
4412 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4413 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4414 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4415 virtual address in NOR flash.
4416
4417 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4418 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4419 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4420
4421 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4422 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4423 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4424
4425 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4426 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4427 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4428 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4429 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4430 master's memory space.
4431
4432 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4433 ---------------------------------------------------------
4434 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4435 "firmware".
4436 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4437 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4438 within that device.
4439
4440 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4441 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4442
4443 Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4444 -------------------------------------------
4445 The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4446 "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4447 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4448
4449 - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4450 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4451
4452 Reproducible builds
4453 -------------------
4454
4455 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4456 process have to be set to a fixed value.
4457
4458 This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4459 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4460 option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4461
4462 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4463
4464 Building the Software:
4465 ======================
4466
4467 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4468 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4469 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4470 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4471 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4472 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4473
4474 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4475 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4476 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4477 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4478 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4479
4480 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4481 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
4482
4483 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4484 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4485 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4486 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4487
4488 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4489
4490 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4491 be executed on computers running Windows.
4492
4493 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4494 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4495 is done by typing:
4496
4497 make NAME_defconfig
4498
4499 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4500 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4501
4502 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4503 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4504 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4505 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4506 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4507
4508 make TQM823L_defconfig
4509 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4510
4511 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4512 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4513
4514 etc.
4515
4516
4517 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4518 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4519
4520 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4521 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4522 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4523
4524 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4525 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4526 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4527
4528 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4529
4530 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4531 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4532 make O=/tmp/build all
4533
4534 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4535
4536 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4537 make distclean
4538 make NAME_defconfig
4539 make all
4540
4541 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4542 variable.
4543
4544
4545 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4546 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4547 native "make".
4548
4549
4550 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4551 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4552 steps:
4553
4554 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4555 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4556 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
4557 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4558 your board.
4559 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4560 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
4561 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
4562 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4563 to be installed on your target system.
4564 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4565 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4566
4567
4568 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4569 ==============================================================
4570
4571 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4572 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4573 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4574 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4575 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4576
4577 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4578 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4579 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4580 just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4581 configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4582 will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4583 for documentation.
4584

4642
4643 For now: just type "help <command>".
4644
4645
4646 Environment Variables:
4647 ======================
4648
4649 U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4650 can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4651
4652 Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4653 "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4654 without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4655 environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4656 working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4657 environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4658
4659 Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4660
4661 List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4662
4663 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4664
4665 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4666
4667 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4668
4669 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4670
4671 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
4672
4673 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4674 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4675 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4676 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4677 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4678 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4679 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4680 bootm_mapsize.
4681
4682 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4683 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4684 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4685 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4686 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4687 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4688 used otherwise.
4689
4690 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4691 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4692 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4693 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4694 environment variable.
4695
4696 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4697 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4698 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4699
4700 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4701 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4702 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4703 load any image using TFTP
4704
4705 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4706 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4707 be automatically started (by internally calling
4708 "bootm")
4709
4710 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4711 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4712 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4713 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4714 data.
4715
4716 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4717 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4718 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4719 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4720 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4721 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4722 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4723 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4724 access it during the boot procedure.
4725
4726 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4727 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4728 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4729 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4730 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4731 must be accessible by the kernel.
4732
4733 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4734 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4735 defined.
4736
4737 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4738 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4739 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4740 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4741 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4742
4743 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4744 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4745 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4746 is usually what you want since it allows for
4747 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4748 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4749 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4750 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4751 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4752 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4753 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4754
4755 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4756 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4757 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4758 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4759 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4760 12 MB as well - this can be done with
4761
4762 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4763
4764 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4765 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4766 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4767 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4768 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4769 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4770 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4771
4772 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4773
4774 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4775 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4776
4777 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4778
4779 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4780
4781 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4782
4783 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4784
4785 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4786
4787 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
4788
4789 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4790 For example you can do the following
4791
4792 => setenv ethact FEC
4793 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4794 => setenv ethact SCC
4795 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4796
4797 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4798 available network interfaces.
4799 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4800
4801 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
4802 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4803 When set to "once" the network operation will
4804 fail when all the available network interfaces
4805 are tried once without success.
4806 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4807 themselves.
4808
4809 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
4810
4811 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
4812 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4813 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4814 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4815 is silent.
4816
4817 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
4818 UDP source port.
4819
4820 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4821 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4822
4823 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4824 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4825
4826 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4827 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4828 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4829 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4830 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4831 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4832 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4833
4834 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
4835 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
4836 can happen during a single file transfer before that
4837 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
4838 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
4839 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
4840 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
4841
4842 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
4843 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
4844 VLAN tagged frames.
4845
4846 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
4847 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
4848 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
4849 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
4850 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
4851
4852 The following image location variables contain the location of images
4853 used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4854 not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4855 variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4856 server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4857 loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4858 flash or offset in NAND flash.
4859
4860 *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4861 boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
4862 boards use these variables for other purposes.
4863
4864 Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
4865 ----- --------- ----------- --------------
4866 u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
4867 Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
4868 device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
4869 ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
4870
4871 The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4872 updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4873 depending the information provided by your boot server:
4874
4875 bootfile - see above
4876 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4877 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4878 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4879 hostname - Target hostname
4880 ipaddr - see above
4881 netmask - Subnet Mask
4882 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4883 serverip - see above
4884
4885
4886 There are two special Environment Variables:
4887
4888 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4889 as type string and/or serial number
4890 ethaddr - Ethernet address
4891
4892 These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4893 the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4894 once they have been set once.
4895
4896
4897 Further special Environment Variables:
4898
4899 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4900 with the "version" command. This variable is
4901 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
4902
4903
4904 Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4905 only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
4906
4907
4908 Callback functions for environment variables:
4909 ---------------------------------------------
4910
4911 For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4912 when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
4913 be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4914 deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4915 effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4916
4917 The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4918 U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4919
4920 These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4921 static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4922 in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4923 associations. The list must be in the following format:
4924
4925 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4926 list = entry[,list]
4927
4928 If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4929 Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4930
4931 Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4932 with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4933 override any association in the static list. You can define
4934 CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4935 ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4936
4937 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4938 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
4939 the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
4940
4941
4942 Command Line Parsing:
4943 =====================
4944
4945 There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4946 the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
4947
4948 Old, simple command line parser:
4949 --------------------------------
4950
4951 - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4952 - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
4953 - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
4954 - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4955 for example:
4956 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
4957 - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4958 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
4959
4960 Hush shell:
4961 -----------
4962
4963 - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4964 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4965 until...do...done, ...
4966 - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4967 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4968 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4969 command
4970
4971 General rules:
4972 --------------
4973
4974 (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4975 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4976 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4977 executed anyway.
4978
4979 (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
4980 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
4981 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4982 variables are not executed.
4983
4984 Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4985 =======================================
4986
4987 Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
4988 such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4989 "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
4990
4991 Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4992 MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4993 "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
4994
4995 If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4996 in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4997 ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4998 variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
4999
5000 o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5001 environment, the SROM's address is used.
5002
5003 o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5004 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5005 used.
5006
5007 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5008 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5009
5010 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5011 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5012 warning is printed.
5013
5014 o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5015 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5016 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5017
5018 If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5019 will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
5020 may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5021 The naming convention is as follows:
5022 "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5023
5024 Image Formats:
5025 ==============
5026
5027 U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5028 images in two formats:
5029
5030 New uImage format (FIT)
5031 -----------------------
5032
5033 Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5034 to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5035 components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5036 SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5037
5038
5039 Old uImage format
5040 -----------------
5041
5042 Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5043 preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5044 details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5045
5046 * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5047 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5048 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5049 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5050 INTEGRITY).
5051 * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5052 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5053 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5054 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5055 * Load Address
5056 * Entry Point
5057 * Image Name
5058 * Image Timestamp
5059
5060 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5061 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5062 CRC32 checksums.
5063
5064
5065 Linux Support:
5066 ==============
5067
5068 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5069 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5070 U-Boot.
5071
5072 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5073 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5074 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5075 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5076 serves several purposes:
5077
5078 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5079 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5080 Flash memory footprint)
5081
5082 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5083 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5084
5085 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5086 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5087 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5088 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5089 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5090 software is easier now.
5091
5092
5093 Linux HOWTO:
5094 ============
5095
5096 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5097 ---------------------------------------
5098
5099 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5100 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5101 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5102 Linux :-).
5103
5104 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5105
5106 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5107 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5108 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5109 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5110 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5111
5112 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5113 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5114 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5115 doc/driver-model.
5116
5117
5118 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5119 -----------------------------
5120
5121 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5122 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5123
5124
5125 Building a Linux Image:
5126 -----------------------
5127
5128 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5129 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5130 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5131 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5132 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5133 100% compatible format.
5134
5135 Example:
5136
5137 make TQM850L_defconfig
5138 make oldconfig
5139 make dep
5140 make uImage
5141
5142 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5143 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5144 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5145
5146 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5147
5148 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5149
5150 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5151 -R .note -R .comment \
5152 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5153
5154 * compress the binary image:
5155
5156 gzip -9 linux.bin
5157
5158 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5159
5160 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5161 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5162 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5163
5164
5165 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5166 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5167 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5168 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5169 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5170 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5171
5172 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5173 print the header information, or to build new images.
5174
5175 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5176 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5177 checksum verification:
5178
5179 tools/mkimage -l image
5180 -l ==> list image header information
5181
5182 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5183 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5184
5185 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5186 -n name -d data_file image
5187 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5188 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5189 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5190 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5191 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5192 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5193 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5194 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5195
5196 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5197 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5198 kernel version:

5200 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5201 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5202
5203 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5204
5205 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5206 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5207 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5208 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5209 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5210 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5211 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5212 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5213 Load Address: 0x00000000
5214 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5215
5216 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5217
5218 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5219 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5220 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5221 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5222 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5223 Load Address: 0x00000000
5224 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5225
5226 NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5227 speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5228 needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5229 need to be uncompressed:
5230
5231 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5232 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5233 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5234 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5235 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5236 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5237 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5238 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5239 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5240 Load Address: 0x00000000
5241 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5242
5243
5244 Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5245 when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5246
5247 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5248 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5249 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5250 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
5251 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5252 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5253 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5254 Load Address: 0x00000000
5255 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5256
5257 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5258 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5259 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5260 from the image:
5261
5262 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5263 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5264 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5265 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5266
5267
5268 Installing a Linux Image:
5269 -------------------------
5270
5271 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5272 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5273
5274 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5275
5276 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5277 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5278 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5279 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5280 command.
5281
5282 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5283 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5284
5285 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5286
5287 .......... done
5288 Erased 8 sectors
5289
5290 => loads 40100000
5291 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5298 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5299
5300
5301 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5302 this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5303 corruption happened:
5304
5305 => imi 40100000
5306

5316 Boot Linux:
5317 -----------
5318
5319 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5320 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5321 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5322 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5323 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5324
5325
5326 => printenv bootargs
5327 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5328
5329 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5330
5331 => printenv bootargs
5332 bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5400 -----------
5401
5402 First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
5403 titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
5404 following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
5405 flat device tree:

5448 More About U-Boot Image Types:
5449 ------------------------------
5450
5451 U-Boot supports the following image types:
5452
5453 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5454 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5455 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5456 the Standalone Program.
5457 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5458 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5459 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5460 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5461 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5462 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5463 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5464 being started.
5465 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5466 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5467 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5468 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5469 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5470 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5471
5472 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5473 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5474 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5475 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5476 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5477 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5478
5479 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5480 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5481 flash memory.
5482
5483 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5484 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5485 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5486 as command interpreter.
5487
5488 Booting the Linux zImage:
5489 -------------------------
5490
5491 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5492 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5493 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5494
5495 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5496 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5497 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5498 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5499
5500
5501 Standalone HOWTO:
5502 =================
5503
5504 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5505 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5506 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5507
5508 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5509
5510 "Hello World" Demo:
5511 -------------------
5512
5513 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5514 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5515 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5516 like that:
5517
5518 => loads
5519 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5520 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
5521 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...

5524 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5525
5526 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5527 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5528 Hello World
5529 argc = 7
5530 argv[0] = "40004"
5531 argv[1] = "Hello"
5532 argv[2] = "World!"
5533 argv[3] = "This"
5534 argv[4] = "is"
5535 argv[5] = "a"
5536 argv[6] = "test."
5537 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5538 Hit any key to exit ...
5539
5540 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5541
5542 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5543 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5544 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5545 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5546 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5547 controlled by the following keys:
5548
5549 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5550 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5551 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5552 q - quit application
5553

5589 Minicom warning:
5590 ================
5591
5592 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5593 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5594 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5595 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5596 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5597 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5598 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5599 for help with kermit.
5600
5601
5602 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5603 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5604
5605 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5606 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
5607 Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
5608
5609
5610 NetBSD Notes:
5611 =============
5612
5613 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5614 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5615
5616 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5617 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5618 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5619 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5620 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5621 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5622
5623 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5624 # mkdir powerpc
5625 # ln -s powerpc machine
5626 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5627 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5628
5629 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5630 and U-Boot include files.
5631
5632 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5633 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5634 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5635 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5636 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5637
5638
5639 Implementation Internals:
5640 =========================
5641
5642 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5643 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5644 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5645 hardware.
5646
5647
5648 Initial Stack, Global Data:
5649 ---------------------------
5650
5651 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5652 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5653 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5654 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5655 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5656 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5657 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5658 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5659 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5660 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5661
5662 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5663 U-Boot mailing list:

5670 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5671 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5672 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5673 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5674 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5675 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5676 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5677 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5678
5679 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5680 is another option for the system designer to use as an
5681 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5682 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5683 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5684 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5685 used.
5686
5687 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5688 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5689 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5690 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5691 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5692 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5693 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5694 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5695 you get the config right.

5700 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5701 code for the initialization procedures:
5702
5703 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5704 to write it.
5705
5706 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
5707 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5708 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5709
5710 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5711 that.
5712
5713 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5714 normal global data to share information between the code. But it
5715 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5716 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5717 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5718 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5719 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5720 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5721 reserve for this purpose.
5722
5723 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5724 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5725 GCC's implementation.
5726
5727 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5728 R1: stack pointer
5729 R2: reserved for system use
5730 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5731 R5-R10: parameter passing
5732 R13: small data area pointer
5733 R30: GOT pointer
5734 R31: frame pointer
5735
5736 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5737 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5738 going back and forth between asm and C)
5739
5740 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5741
5742 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5743 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5744 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5745 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5746 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5747 624 text + 127 data).
5748
5749 On ARM, the following registers are used:
5750
5751 R0: function argument word/integer result
5752 R1-R3: function argument word
5753 R9: platform specific
5754 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
5755 R11: argument (frame) pointer
5756 R12: temporary workspace
5757 R13: stack pointer
5758 R14: link register
5759 R15: program counter
5760
5761 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
5762
5763 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
5764
5765 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5766 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5767
5768 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5769
5770 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5771 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5772
5773 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5774
5775 R0-R1: argument/return
5776 R2-R5: argument
5777 R15: temporary register for assembler
5778 R16: trampoline register
5779 R28: frame pointer (FP)
5780 R29: global pointer (GP)
5781 R30: link register (LP)
5782 R31: stack pointer (SP)
5783 PC: program counter (PC)
5784
5785 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5786
5787 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5788 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5789
5790 Memory Management:
5791 ------------------
5792
5793 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5794 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5795
5796 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5797 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5798 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5799 physical memory banks.
5800
5801 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5802 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5803 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5804 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5805 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5806 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5807 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5808
5809 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5810 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5811
5812 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5813 this:
5814
5815 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5816 :
5817 0x0000 1FFF
5818 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5819 :
5820 :
5821
5822 :
5823 :
5824 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5825 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5826 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5827 :
5828 0x00FD FFFF
5829 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5830 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5831 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5832 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5833
5834
5835 System Initialization:
5836 ----------------------
5837
5838 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5839 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5840 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
5841 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5842 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5843 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5844 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5845 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5846 the caches and the SIU.
5847
5848 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5849 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5850 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5851 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5852 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5853 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5854 banks.
5855
5856 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5857 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5858 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
5859 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5860 contiguous memory starting from 0.
5861
5862 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5863 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5864 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5865 pages, and the final stack is set up.
5866
5867 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5868 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5869 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5870 new address in RAM.

5947 Coding Standards:
5948 -----------------
5949
5950 All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
5951 coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
5952 "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
5953
5954 Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5955 MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5956 reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5957 sources.
5958
5959 Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5960 Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5961 in your code.
5962
5963 Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5964 - remove any trailing white space
5965 - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
5966 - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
5967 - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
5968 - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5969
5970 Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5971 with a request to reformat the changes.
5972
5973
5974 Submitting Patches:
5975 -------------------
5976
5977 Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5978 establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5979 may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
5980
5981 Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
5982
5983 Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5984 see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5985
5986 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5987 it:
5988
5989 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5990 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5991 patch actually fixes something.
5992
5993 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
5994 implementation.
5995
5996 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5997
5998 * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
5999 information and associated file and directory references.
6000
6001 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6002 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6003
6004 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6005 document these in the README file.
6006
6007 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6008 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6009 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6010 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6011 with some other mail clients.
6012
6013 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6014 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6015 GNU diff.
6016
6017 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6018 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6019 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6020 affected files).
6021
6022 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6023 and compressed attachments must not be used.
6024
6025 * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6026 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6027
6028 * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6029 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6030
6031
6032 Notes:
6033
6034 * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
6035 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6036 for any of the boards.
6037
6038 * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6039 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6040 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6041
6042 * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6043 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6044 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6045 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6046 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6047 modification.
6048
6049 * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6050 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6051 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6052 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
