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 defining 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

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

1337
1338 - USB Device:
1339 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1340 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1341 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1342 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1343 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1344 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1345 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1346 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1347 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1348 a Linux host by
1349 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1350 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1351 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1352 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1353
1354 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1355 Define this to build a UDC device
1356
1357 CONFIG_USB_TTY
1358 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1359 talk to the UDC device
1360
1361 CONFIG_USBD_HS
1362 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1363 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1364 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1365 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1366 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1367 speed.
1368
1369 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1370 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1371 be set to usbtty.
1372
1373 mpc8xx:
1374 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1375 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1376 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1377
1378 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1379 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1380 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1381 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1382 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1383 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1384
1385 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1386 Define this string as the name of your company for
1387 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1388
1389 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1390 Define this string as the name of your product
1391 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1392
1393 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1394 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1395 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1396 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1397 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1398
1399 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1400 Define this as the unique Product ID
1401 for your device
1402 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1403
1404 - ULPI Layer Support:
1405 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1406 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1407 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1408 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1409 viewport is supported.
1410 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1411 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1412 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1413 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1414 the appropriate value in Hz.
1415
1416 - MMC Support:
1417 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1418 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1419 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1420 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1421 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1422 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.

1438 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1439
1440 - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1441 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1442 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1443
1444 CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1445 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1446 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1447 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1448 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1449
1450 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1451 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1452
1453 CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1454 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1455
1456 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1457 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1458 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1459 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1460 one that would help mostly the developer.
1461
1462 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1463 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1464 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1465 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1466 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1467
1468 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1469 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1470 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1471 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1472 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1473 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1474
1475 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1476 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1477 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1478 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1479
1480 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1481 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1482 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1483 sending again an USB request to the device.
1484
1485 - USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1486 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1487 This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1488

1502 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1503 downloaded images.
1504
1505 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1506 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1507 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1508 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1509
1510 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1511 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1512 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1513 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1514
1515 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1516 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1517 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1518 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1519
1520 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1521 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1522 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1523 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1524 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1525 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1526 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1527 The default is "gpt" if undefined.
1528
1529 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1530 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1531 image to DOS MBR.
1532 This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1533 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1534 If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.
1535
1536 - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1537 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND
1538 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device

1545 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1546
1547 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1548 file in FAT formatted partition.
1549
1550 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1551 user to write files to FAT.
1552
1553 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1554 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1555
1556 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1557 a default value of 65536 will be defined.

1560 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1561
1562 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1563
1564 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1565 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1566 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1567 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1568 instead.
1569
1570 - Video support:
1571 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1572 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1573 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1574 support, and should also define these other macros:

1577 CONFIG_VIDEO
1578 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1579 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1580 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1581 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1582 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1583
1584 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1585 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1586 boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
1587 description of this variable.
1588
1589 - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD

1641 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1642 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1643 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1644 a per-section basis.
1645
1646
1647 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1648
1649 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1650 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1651 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1652 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1653 printed out.
1654 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1655 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1656 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1657 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1658 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1659 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1660 1 = 90 degree rotation
1661 2 = 180 degree rotation
1662 3 = 270 degree rotation
1663
1664 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1665 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1666
1667 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1668
1669 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1670
1671 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1672
1673 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1674 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1675
1676 - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1677
1678 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1679 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1680 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1681 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1682 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1683 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1684 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1685 loaded very quickly after power-on.
1686
1687 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1688
1689 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1690 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1691 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
1692 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1693 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1694 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1695 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1696 there is no need to set this option.
1697
1698 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1699
1700 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1701 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1702 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1703 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1704 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1705 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1706
1707 Example:
1708 setenv splashpos m,m
1709 => image at center of screen
1710
1711 setenv splashpos 30,20
1712 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1713
1714 setenv splashpos -10,m
1715 => vertically centered image
1716 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1717
1718 - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1719
1720 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1721 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1722 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1723
1724 - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1725
1726 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1727 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1728 bmp command.
1729
1730 - Compression support:
1731 CONFIG_GZIP
1732
1733 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1734
1735 CONFIG_BZIP2
1736
1737 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1738 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1739 compressed images are supported.
1740
1741 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1742 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1743 be at least 4MB.
1744
1745 CONFIG_LZMA
1746
1747 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1748 images is included.
1749
1750 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1751 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1752 formula:
1753
1754 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1755
1756 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1757 and Literal pos bits.
1758
1759 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1760 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1761 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1762 a very small buffer.
1763
1764 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1765 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1766 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1767
1768 CONFIG_LZO
1769
1770 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1771 is included.
1772
1773 - MII/PHY support:
1774 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1775
1776 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1777
1778 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1779
1780 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1781
1782 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1783
1784 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1785 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1786
1787 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1788
1789 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1790 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1791 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1792 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1793
1794 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1795
1796 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1797 command issued before MII status register can be read
1798
1799 - IP address:
1800 CONFIG_IPADDR
1801
1802 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1803 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1804 determined through e.g. bootp.
1805 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
1806
1807 - Server IP address:
1808 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1809
1810 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1811 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1812 (Environment variable "serverip")
1813
1814 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1815
1816 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1817 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1818
1819 - Gateway IP address:
1820 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1821
1822 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1823 default router where packets to other networks are
1824 sent to.
1825 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1826
1827 - Subnet mask:
1828 CONFIG_NETMASK
1829
1830 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1831 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1832 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1833 forwarded through a router.
1834 (Environment variable "netmask")
1835
1836 - Multicast TFTP Mode:
1837 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1838
1839 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1840 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
1841 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
1842 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1843 multicast group.
1844
1845 - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1846 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1847
1848 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1849 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1850 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1851 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1852 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1853 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1854 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1855 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1856 following delays are inserted then:
1857
1858 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1859 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1860 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1861 4th and following
1862 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1863
1864 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1865
1866 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1867 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1868 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1869 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1870 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1871 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1872 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1873 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1874 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1875 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1876 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1877 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1878 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1879 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1880 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1881
1882 - DHCP Advanced Options:
1883 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1884 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1885
1886 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1887 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1888 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1889 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1890 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1891 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1892 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1893 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1894 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1895 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1896 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1897 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1898 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1899
1900 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1901 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1902
1903 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1904 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1905 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1906 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1907 is not available.
1908
1909 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1910 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1911 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1912 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1913 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1914 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1915 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1916 is defined.
1917
1918 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1919 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1920 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1921 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1922 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1923 option 12 to the DHCP server.
1924
1925 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1926
1927 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1928 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1929 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1930 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1931 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1932 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1933 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1934 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1935 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1936 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1937 this delay.
1938
1939 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1940 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1941 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1942 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1943 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1944
1945 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1946
1947 - CDP Options:
1948 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1949
1950 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1951
1952 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1953
1954 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1955 of the device.
1956
1957 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1958
1959 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1960 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1961 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1962
1963 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1964
1965 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1966 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1967
1968 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1969
1970 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1971
1972 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1973
1974 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1975
1976 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1977
1978 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1979
1980 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1981
1982 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1983 device in .1 of milliwatts.
1984
1985 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1986
1987 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1988
1989 - Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
1990
1991 Several configurations allow to display the current
1992 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1993 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1994 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1995 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1996 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1997 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
1998 feature in U-Boot.
1999
2000 Additional options:
2001
2002 CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
2003 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2004 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2005 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
2006 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2007
2008 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2009 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2010 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2011 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2012 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2013 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2014
2015 - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2016
2017 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2018 on those systems that support this (optional)
2019 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2020
2021 - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2022
2023 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2024 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2025 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2026 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2027 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2028 interface.
2029

2162 additional defines:
2163
2164 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2165 Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use.
2166
2167 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2168 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2169 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2170 omit this define.
2171
2172 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2173 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2174 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2175 define.
2176
2177 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2178 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2179 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2180 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2181 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2182
2183 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2184 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2185 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2186 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2187 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2188 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2189 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2190 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2191 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2192 }
2193
2194 which defines
2195 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2196 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2197 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2198 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2199 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4

2202 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2203 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2204
2205 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2206
2207 ----under removal:
2208
2209 - Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
2210
2211 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2212 provides the following compelling advantages:
2213
2214 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2215 - approved multibus support
2216 - better i2c mux support
2217
2218 ** CONFIG_SOFT_I2C is now being removed **
2219
2220 With CONFIG_SOFT_I2C you will need to define
2221 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you
2222 wish your i2c bus to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the
2223 address of this node (ie the CPU's i2c node address).
2224
2225 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2226 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2227 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2228 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2229 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2230
2231 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2232 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2233 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2234 commands until the slave device responds.
2235
2236 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2237
2238 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2239 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2240 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2241
2242 I2C_INIT
2243
2244 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2245 controller or configure ports.
2246
2247 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2248
2249 I2C_PORT
2250
2251 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2252 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2253 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2254
2255 I2C_ACTIVE
2256
2257 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2258 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2259 define can be null.
2260
2261 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2262
2263 I2C_TRISTATE
2264
2265 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2266 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2267 define can be null.
2268
2269 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2270
2271 I2C_READ
2272
2273 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2274 false if it is low.
2275
2276 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2277
2278 I2C_SDA(bit)
2279
2280 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2281 is false, it clears it (low).
2282
2283 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2284 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2285 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2286
2287 I2C_SCL(bit)
2288
2289 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2290 is false, it clears it (low).
2291
2292 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2293 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2294 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2295
2296 I2C_DELAY
2297
2298 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2299 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2300 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2301 like:
2302
2303 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2304
2305 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2306
2307 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2308 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2309 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2310 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2311
2312 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2313 the generic GPIO functions.
2314
2315 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2316
2317 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2318 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2319 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2320 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2321 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2322 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2323 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2324 is run early in the boot sequence.
2325
2326 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2327
2328 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2329 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2330 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2331
2332 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2333
2334 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2335 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2336 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2337 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2338
2339 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2340
2341 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2342 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2343 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2344 a 1D array of device addresses
2345
2346 e.g.
2347 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2348 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2349
2350 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2351
2352 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2353 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2354
2355 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2356
2357 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2358
2359 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2360 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2361
2362 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2363
2364 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2365 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2366
2367 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2368
2369 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2370 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2371
2372 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2373
2374 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2375 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2376 specified DTT device.
2377
2378 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2379
2380 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2381 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2382 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2383 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2384 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2385 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2386 the other.
2387
2388 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2389
2390 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2391 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2392 D/As on the SACSng board)
2393
2394 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2395
2396 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2397 only SH7757 is supported.
2398
2399 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2400
2401 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2402 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2403 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2404 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2405 defined, the board configuration must define several
2406 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2407 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2408
2409 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2410
2411 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2412 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2413 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2414 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2415 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2416
2417 CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2418
2419 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2420 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2421
2422 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2423 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2424 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
2425
2426 - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2427
2428 Enables FPGA subsystem.
2429
2430 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2431
2432 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2433 (ALTERA, XILINX)
2434
2435 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2436
2437 Enables support for FPGA family.
2438 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2439
2440 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2441
2442 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2443
2444 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2445
2446 Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2447
2448 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2449
2450 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2451
2452 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2453
2454 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2455 (Xilinx only)
2456
2457 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2458
2459 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2460
2461 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2462
2463 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2464 status by the configuration function. This option
2465 will require a board or device specific function to
2466 be written.
2467
2468 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2469
2470 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2471 configuration driver.
2472
2473 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2474 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2475
2476 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2477
2478 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2479 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2480 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2481 indicated a CRC error).
2482
2483 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2484
2485 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2486 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2487 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2488 ms.
2489
2490 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2491
2492 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2493 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2494
2495 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2496
2497 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2498 200 ms.
2499
2500 - Configuration Management:
2501 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2502
2503 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2504 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2505 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2506 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2507 make / buildman.
2508
2509 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2510
2511 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2512 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2513
2514 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2515
2516 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2517 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2518 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2519 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2520 protects these variables from casual modification by
2521 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2522 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2523 change this behaviour:
2524
2525 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2526 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2527 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2528 these parameters.
2529
2530 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2531 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2532 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2533 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2534 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2535 read-only.]
2536
2537 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2538 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2539 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2540 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2541
2542 - Protected RAM:
2543 CONFIG_PRAM
2544
2545 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2546 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2547 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2548 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2549 this default value by defining an environment
2550 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2551 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2552 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2553 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2554 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2555 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2556 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2557
2558 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2559 saveenv
2560
2561 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2562 either, which results in a memory region that will
2563 not be affected by reboots.
2564
2565 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2566 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2567 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2568 following board configurations are known to be
2569 "pRAM-clean":
2570
2571 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2572 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2573 FLAGADM, TQM8260
2574
2575 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2576 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2577 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2578 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2579 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2580 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2581 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2582
2583 - Error Recovery:
2584 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2585
2586 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2587 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2588 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2589 system where you want the system to reboot
2590 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2591 useful during development since you can try to debug
2592 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2593
2594 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2595
2596 This variable defines the number of retries for
2597 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2598 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2599 default value of 5 is used.
2600
2601 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2602
2603 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2604
2605 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2606
2607 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2608 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2609 try longer timeout such as
2610 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2611
2612 - Command Interpreter:
2613 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2614
2615 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2616
2617 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2618
2619 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2620 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2621 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2622
2623 Note:
2624
2625 In the current implementation, the local variables
2626 space and global environment variables space are
2627 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2628 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2629 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2630 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2631 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2632
2633 Global environment variables are those you use
2634 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2635 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2636 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2637
2638 To store commands and special characters in a
2639 variable, please use double quotation marks
2640 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2641 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2642 symbols.
2643
2644 - Command Line Editing and History:
2645 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2646
2647 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2648 command line input operations
2649
2650 - Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2651 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2652
2653 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2654 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2655 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2656 and PS2.
2657
2658 - Default Environment:
2659 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2660
2661 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2662 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2663 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2664
2665 For example, place something like this in your
2666 board's config file:
2667
2668 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2669 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2670 "myvar2=value2\0"
2671
2672 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2673 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2674 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2675 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2676 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2677 You better know what you are doing here.
2678
2679 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2680 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2681 the environment like the "source" command or the
2682 boot command first.
2683
2684 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2685
2686 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2687 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2688 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2689
2690 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2691
2692 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2693 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2694 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2695 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2696 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2697
2698 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2699
2700 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2701 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2702 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2703
2704 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2705
2706 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2707 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2708 that so that the environment is not available until
2709 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2710 this is instead controlled by the value of
2711 /config/load-environment.
2712
2713 - DataFlash Support:
2714 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2715
2716 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2717 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2718 commands cp, md...
2719
2720 - Serial Flash support
2721 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2722
2723 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2724 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2725
2726 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2727 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2728 commands.
2729
2730 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2731 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2732 flash is present on the system.
2733
2734 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2735 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2736 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2737 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2738
2739 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2740
2741 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2742 test ('sf test').
2743
2744 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2745
2746 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2747 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2748 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
2749
2750 - SystemACE Support:
2751 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2752
2753 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2754 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2755 of the chip must also be defined in the
2756 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2757
2758 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2759 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2760
2761 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2762 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2763
2764 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2765 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2766
2767 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2768 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2769 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2770 number generator is used.
2771
2772 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2773 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2774 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2775
2776 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2777 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2778 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2779 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2780 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2781 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2782 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2783
2784 - Hashing support:
2785 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2786
2787 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2788 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2789
2790 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2791
2792 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2793 size a little.
2794
2795 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
2796 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
2797 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
2798 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
2799 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
2800 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
2801 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
2802 hash_lookup_algo() function.
2803 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
2804 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
2805 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
2806 is performed in hardware.
2807
2808 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2809 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2810
2811 - Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2812 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2813 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2814 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2815
2816 - bootcount support:
2817 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2818
2819 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2820 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2821
2822 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2823 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2824 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2825 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2826 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2827 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2828 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2829 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2830 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2831 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2832 the bootcounter.
2833 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
2834
2835 - Show boot progress:
2836 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2837
2838 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2839 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2840 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2841 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2842 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2843 the following checkpoints are implemented:
2844
2845
2846 Legacy uImage format:

2998
2999 - legacy image format:
3000 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3001 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3002
3003 Default:
3004 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3005
3006 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3007 disable the legacy image format
3008
3009 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3010 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3011
3012 - FIT image support:
3013 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3014 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3015 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3016 with this option.
3017
3018 TODO(sjg@chromium.org): Adjust this option to be positive,
3019 and move it to Kconfig
3020
3021 - Standalone program support:
3022 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3023
3024 This option defines a board specific value for the
3025 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3026 overwriting the architecture dependent default
3027 settings.
3028
3029 - Frame Buffer Address:
3030 CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3031
3032 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3033 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3034 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3035 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3036 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3037 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3038 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3039 configured panel size.
3040
3041 Please see board_init_f function.
3042
3043 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3044 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3045 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3046 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3047
3048 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3049 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3050
3051 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3052 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3053
3054 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3055 Needed for mtdparts command support.
3056
3057 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3058
3059 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3060 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3061
3062 - UBI support
3063 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3064
3065 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3066 with the UBI flash translation layer
3067
3068 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3069
3070 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3071
3072 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3073 warnings and errors enabled.
3074
3075
3076 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3077 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3078 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3079 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3080 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3081 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3082
3083 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3084 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3085 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3086 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3087 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3088
3089 default: 4096
3090
3091 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3092 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3093 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3094 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3095 flash), this value is ignored.
3096
3097 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3098 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3099 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3100 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3101 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3102 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3103
3104 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3105 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3106 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3107 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3108 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3109 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3110 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3111 partition.
3112
3113 default: 20
3114
3115 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3116 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3117 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3118 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3119 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3120 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3121 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3122 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3123 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3124 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3125 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3126 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3127
3128 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3129 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3130 without a fastmap.
3131 default: 0
3132
3133 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3134 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3135 default: 0
3136
3137 - UBIFS support
3138 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3139
3140 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3141 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3142
3143 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3144
3145 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3146
3147 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3148 warnings and errors enabled.
3149
3150 - SPL framework
3151 CONFIG_SPL
3152 Enable building of SPL globally.
3153
3154 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3155 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3156
3157 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3158 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3159 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3160 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3161 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3162 must not be both defined at the same time.
3163
3164 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3165 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3166 linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3167 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3168 not exceed it.
3169
3170 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3171 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3172
3173 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3174 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
3175 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3176
3177 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3178 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3179
3180 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3181 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3182 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3183 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3184 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3185 must not be both defined at the same time.
3186
3187 CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3188 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3189
3190 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3191 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3192 loaded does not have a signature.
3193 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3194 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3195 will be caught.
3196 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3197 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3198 and thus should be skipped silently.
3199
3200 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3201 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3202 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
3203 CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3204
3205 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3206 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3207 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3208 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3209 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3210
3211 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3212 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3213
3214 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3215 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework

3217 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3218
3219 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3220 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3221 See also: doc/README.falcon
3222
3223 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3224 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3225 about the running system.
3226
3227 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
3228 Arch init code should be built for a very small image
3229
3230 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
3231 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3232 used in raw mode

3235 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3236 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3237

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

4303 - CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4304 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4305 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4306 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
4307 cpm_8260.h.
4308
4309 - CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,

4316 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only)
4317 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4318
4319 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4320 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4321 required.
4322
4323 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4324 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4325 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4326 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4327 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4328 by coreboot or similar.
4329
4330 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4331 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4332
4333 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
4334 Chip has SRIO or not
4335
4336 - CONFIG_SRIO1:
4337 Board has SRIO 1 port available
4338
4339 - CONFIG_SRIO2:
4340 Board has SRIO 2 port available
4341
4342 - CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
4343 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
4344
4345 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:
4346 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4347
4348 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS:
4349 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4350
4351 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
4352 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4353
4354 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4355 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4356 a 16 bit bus.
4357 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4358 Example of drivers that use it:
4359 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4360 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4361
4362 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4363 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4364 a default value will be used.
4365
4366 - CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
4367 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4368 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4369
4370 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4371 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4372
4373 - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4374 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4375 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4376 to something your driver can deal with.
4377
4378 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4379 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4380 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4381 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4382 header files or board specific files.
4383
4384 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4385 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4386
4387 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4388 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4389
4390 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4391 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4392
4393 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4394 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4395 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4396
4397 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4398 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4399
4400 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4401 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4402 to the given FEC; i. e.
4403 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4404 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4405
4406 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4407
4408 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4409 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4410 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4411
4412 - CONFIG_RMII
4413 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4414 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4415 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4416
4417 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4418 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4419 The syntax is:
4420
4421 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4422
4423 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4424 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4425 area should have.
4426
4427 - CONFIG_LOOPW
4428 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4429 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4430
4431 - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4432 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4433 "md/mw" commands.
4434 Examples:
4435
4436 => mdc.b 10 4 500
4437 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4438
4439 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4440 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4441
4442 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4443 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4444
4445 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4446 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4447 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4448 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4449 relocate itself into RAM.
4450
4451 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4452 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4453 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4454 these initializations itself.
4455
4456 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4457 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4458 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4459 instruction cache) is still performed.
4460
4461 - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4462 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4463 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4464 compiling a NAND SPL.
4465
4466 - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4467 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4468 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4469 It is loaded by the SPL.
4470
4471 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4472 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4473 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4474 previous 4k of the .text section.
4475
4476 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4477 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4478 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4479 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4480 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4481 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4482 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4483 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4484
4485 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4486 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4487 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4488
4489 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4490 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4491
4492 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4493 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4494 driver that uses this:
4495 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4496
4497 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4498 -----------------------------------
4499
4500 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4501 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4502 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4503 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4504 within that device.
4505
4506 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4507 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4508 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4509 is also specified.
4510
4511 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4512 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4513 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4514 is also specified.
4515
4516 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4517 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4518 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4519 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4520 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4521
4522 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4523 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4524 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4525 virtual address in NOR flash.
4526
4527 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4528 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4529 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4530
4531 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4532 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4533 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4534
4535 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4536 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4537 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4538 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4539 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4540 master's memory space.
4541
4542 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4543 ---------------------------------------------------------
4544 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4545 "firmware".
4546 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4547 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4548 within that device.
4549
4550 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4551 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4552
4553 Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4554 -------------------------------------------
4555 The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4556 "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4557 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4558
4559 - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4560 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4561
4562 Reproducible builds
4563 -------------------
4564
4565 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4566 process have to be set to a fixed value.
4567
4568 This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4569 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4570 option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4571
4572 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4573
4574 Building the Software:
4575 ======================
4576
4577 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4578 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4579 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4580 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4581 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4582 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4583
4584 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4585 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4586 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4587 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4588 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4589
4590 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4591 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
4592
4593 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4594 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4595 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4596 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4597
4598 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4599
4600 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4601 be executed on computers running Windows.
4602
4603 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4604 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4605 is done by typing:
4606
4607 make NAME_defconfig
4608
4609 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4610 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4611
4612 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4613 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4614 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4615 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4616 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4617
4618 make TQM823L_defconfig
4619 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4620
4621 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4622 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4623
4624 etc.
4625
4626
4627 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4628 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4629
4630 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4631 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4632 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4633
4634 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4635 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4636 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4637
4638 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4639
4640 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4641 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4642 make O=/tmp/build all
4643
4644 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4645
4646 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4647 make distclean
4648 make NAME_defconfig
4649 make all
4650
4651 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4652 variable.
4653
4654
4655 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4656 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4657 native "make".
4658
4659
4660 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4661 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4662 steps:
4663
4664 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4665 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4666 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
4667 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4668 your board.
4669 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4670 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
4671 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
4672 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4673 to be installed on your target system.
4674 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4675 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4676
4677
4678 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4679 ==============================================================
4680
4681 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4682 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4683 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4684 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4685 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4686
4687 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4688 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4689 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4690 just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4691 configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4692 will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4693 for documentation.

4748 Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
4749 ========================================
4750
4751 TODO.
4752
4753 For now: just type "help <command>".
4754
4755
4756 Environment Variables:
4757 ======================
4758
4759 U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4760 can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4761
4762 Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4763 "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4764 without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4765 environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4766 working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4767 environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4768
4769 Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4770
4771 List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4772
4773 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4774
4775 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4776
4777 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4778
4779 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4780
4781 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
4782
4783 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4784 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4785 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4786 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4787 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4788 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4789 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4790 bootm_mapsize.
4791
4792 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4793 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4794 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4795 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4796 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4797 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4798 used otherwise.
4799
4800 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4801 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4802 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4803 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4804 environment variable.
4805
4806 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4807 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4808 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4809
4810 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4811 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4812 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4813 load any image using TFTP
4814
4815 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4816 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4817 be automatically started (by internally calling
4818 "bootm")
4819
4820 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4821 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4822 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4823 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4824 data.
4825
4826 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4827 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4828 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4829 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4830 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4831 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4832 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4833 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4834 access it during the boot procedure.
4835
4836 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4837 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4838 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4839 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4840 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4841 must be accessible by the kernel.
4842
4843 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4844 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4845 defined.
4846
4847 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4848 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4849 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4850 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4851 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4852
4853 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4854 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4855 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4856 is usually what you want since it allows for
4857 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4858 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4859 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4860 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4861 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4862 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4863 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4864
4865 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4866 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4867 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4868 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4869 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4870 12 MB as well - this can be done with
4871
4872 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4873
4874 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4875 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4876 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4877 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4878 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4879 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4880 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4881
4882 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4883
4884 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4885 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4886
4887 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4888
4889 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4890
4891 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4892
4893 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4894
4895 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4896
4897 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
4898
4899 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4900 For example you can do the following
4901
4902 => setenv ethact FEC
4903 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4904 => setenv ethact SCC
4905 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4906
4907 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4908 available network interfaces.
4909 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4910
4911 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
4912 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4913 When set to "once" the network operation will
4914 fail when all the available network interfaces
4915 are tried once without success.
4916 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4917 themselves.
4918
4919 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
4920
4921 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
4922 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4923 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4924 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4925 is silent.
4926
4927 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
4928 UDP source port.
4929
4930 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4931 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4932
4933 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4934 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4935
4936 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4937 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4938 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4939 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4940 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4941 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4942 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4943
4944 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
4945 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
4946 can happen during a single file transfer before that
4947 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
4948 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
4949 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
4950 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
4951
4952 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
4953 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
4954 VLAN tagged frames.
4955
4956 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
4957 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
4958 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
4959 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
4960 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
4961
4962 The following image location variables contain the location of images
4963 used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4964 not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4965 variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4966 server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4967 loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4968 flash or offset in NAND flash.
4969
4970 *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4971 boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
4972 boards use these variables for other purposes.
4973
4974 Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
4975 ----- --------- ----------- --------------
4976 u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
4977 Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
4978 device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
4979 ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
4980
4981 The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4982 updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4983 depending the information provided by your boot server:
4984
4985 bootfile - see above
4986 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4987 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4988 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4989 hostname - Target hostname
4990 ipaddr - see above
4991 netmask - Subnet Mask
4992 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4993 serverip - see above
4994
4995
4996 There are two special Environment Variables:
4997
4998 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4999 as type string and/or serial number
5000 ethaddr - Ethernet address
5001
5002 These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5003 the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5004 once they have been set once.
5005
5006
5007 Further special Environment Variables:
5008
5009 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5010 with the "version" command. This variable is
5011 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5012
5013
5014 Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5015 only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5016
5017
5018 Callback functions for environment variables:
5019 ---------------------------------------------
5020
5021 For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5022 when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
5023 be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5024 deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5025 effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5026
5027 The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5028 U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5029
5030 These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5031 static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5032 in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5033 associations. The list must be in the following format:
5034
5035 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5036 list = entry[,list]
5037
5038 If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5039 Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5040
5041 Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5042 with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5043 override any association in the static list. You can define
5044 CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5045 ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5046
5047 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5048 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5049 the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5050
5051
5052 Command Line Parsing:
5053 =====================
5054
5055 There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5056 the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5057
5058 Old, simple command line parser:
5059 --------------------------------
5060
5061 - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5062 - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5063 - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5064 - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5065 for example:
5066 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5067 - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5068 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5069
5070 Hush shell:
5071 -----------
5072
5073 - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5074 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5075 until...do...done, ...
5076 - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5077 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5078 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5079 command
5080
5081 General rules:
5082 --------------
5083
5084 (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5085 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5086 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5087 executed anyway.
5088
5089 (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5090 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5091 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5092 variables are not executed.
5093
5094 Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5095 =======================================
5096
5097 Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5098 such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5099 "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5100
5101 Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5102 MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5103 "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5104
5105 If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5106 in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5107 ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5108 variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5109
5110 o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5111 environment, the SROM's address is used.
5112
5113 o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5114 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5115 used.
5116
5117 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5118 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5119
5120 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5121 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5122 warning is printed.
5123
5124 o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5125 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5126 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5127
5128 If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5129 will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
5130 may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5131 The naming convention is as follows:
5132 "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5133
5134 Image Formats:
5135 ==============
5136
5137 U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5138 images in two formats:
5139
5140 New uImage format (FIT)
5141 -----------------------
5142
5143 Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5144 to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5145 components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5146 SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5147
5148
5149 Old uImage format
5150 -----------------
5151
5152 Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5153 preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5154 details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5155
5156 * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5157 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5158 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5159 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5160 INTEGRITY).
5161 * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5162 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5163 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5164 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5165 * Load Address
5166 * Entry Point
5167 * Image Name
5168 * Image Timestamp
5169
5170 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5171 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5172 CRC32 checksums.
5173
5174
5175 Linux Support:
5176 ==============
5177
5178 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5179 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5180 U-Boot.
5181
5182 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5183 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5184 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5185 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5186 serves several purposes:
5187
5188 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5189 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5190 Flash memory footprint)
5191
5192 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5193 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5194
5195 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5196 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5197 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5198 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5199 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5200 software is easier now.

5203 Linux HOWTO:
5204 ============
5205
5206 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5207 ---------------------------------------
5208
5209 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5210 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5211 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5212 Linux :-).
5213
5214 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5215
5216 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5217 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5218 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5219 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5220 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5221
5222 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5223 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5224 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5225 doc/driver-model.
5226
5227
5228 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5229 -----------------------------
5230
5231 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5232 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5233
5234
5235 Building a Linux Image:
5236 -----------------------
5237
5238 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5239 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5240 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5241 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5242 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5243 100% compatible format.
5244
5245 Example:
5246
5247 make TQM850L_defconfig
5248 make oldconfig
5249 make dep
5250 make uImage
5251
5252 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5253 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5254 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5255
5256 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5257
5258 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5259
5260 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5261 -R .note -R .comment \
5262 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5263
5264 * compress the binary image:
5265
5266 gzip -9 linux.bin
5267
5268 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5269
5270 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5271 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5272 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5273
5274
5275 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5276 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5277 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5278 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5279 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5280 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5281
5282 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5283 print the header information, or to build new images.
5284
5285 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5286 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5287 checksum verification:
5288
5289 tools/mkimage -l image
5290 -l ==> list image header information
5291
5292 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5293 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5294
5295 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5296 -n name -d data_file image
5297 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5298 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5299 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5300 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5301 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5302 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5303 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5304 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5305
5306 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5307 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5308 kernel version:
5309
5310 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5311 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5312
5313 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5314
5315 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5316 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5317 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5318 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5319 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5320 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5321 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5322 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5323 Load Address: 0x00000000
5324 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5325
5326 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5327
5328 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5329 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5330 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5331 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5332 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5333 Load Address: 0x00000000
5334 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5335
5336 NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5337 speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5338 needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5339 need to be uncompressed:
5340
5341 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5342 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5343 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5344 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5345 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5346 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5347 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5348 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5349 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5350 Load Address: 0x00000000
5351 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5352
5353
5354 Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5355 when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5356
5357 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5358 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5359 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5360 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
5361 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5362 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5363 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5364 Load Address: 0x00000000
5365 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5366
5367 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5368 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5369 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5370 from the image:
5371
5372 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5373 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5374 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5375 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5376
5377
5378 Installing a Linux Image:
5379 -------------------------
5380
5381 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5382 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5383
5384 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5385
5386 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5387 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5388 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5389 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5390 command.
5391
5392 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5393 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5394
5395 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5396
5397 .......... done
5398 Erased 8 sectors
5399
5400 => loads 40100000
5401 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5406 [file transfer complete]
5407 [connected]
5408 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5409
5410
5411 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5412 this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5413 corruption happened:
5414
5415 => imi 40100000
5416
5417 ## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
5418 Image Name: 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L

5421 Load Address: 00000000
5422 Entry Point: 0000000c
5423 Verifying Checksum ... OK
5424
5425
5426 Boot Linux:
5427 -----------
5428
5429 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5430 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5431 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5432 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5433 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5434
5435
5436 => printenv bootargs
5437 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5438
5439 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5440
5441 => printenv bootargs
5442 bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5513 titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
5514 following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
5515 flat device tree:

5557
5558 More About U-Boot Image Types:
5559 ------------------------------
5560
5561 U-Boot supports the following image types:
5562
5563 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5564 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5565 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5566 the Standalone Program.
5567 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5568 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5569 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5570 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5571 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5572 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5573 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5574 being started.
5575 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5576 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5577 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5578 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5579 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5580 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5581
5582 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5583 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5584 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5585 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5586 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5587 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5588
5589 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5590 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5591 flash memory.
5592
5593 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5594 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5595 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5596 as command interpreter.
5597
5598 Booting the Linux zImage:
5599 -------------------------
5600
5601 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5602 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5603 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5604
5605 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5606 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5607 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5608 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5609
5610
5611 Standalone HOWTO:
5612 =================
5613
5614 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5615 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5616 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5617
5618 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5619
5620 "Hello World" Demo:
5621 -------------------
5622
5623 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5624 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5625 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5626 like that:
5627
5628 => loads
5629 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5637 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5638 Hello World
5639 argc = 7
5640 argv[0] = "40004"
5641 argv[1] = "Hello"
5642 argv[2] = "World!"
5643 argv[3] = "This"
5644 argv[4] = "is"
5645 argv[5] = "a"
5646 argv[6] = "test."
5647 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5648 Hit any key to exit ...
5649
5650 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5651
5652 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5653 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5654 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5655 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5656 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5657 controlled by the following keys:

5699 Minicom warning:
5700 ================
5701
5702 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5703 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5704 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5705 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5706 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5707 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5708 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5709 for help with kermit.
5710
5711
5712 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5713 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5714
5715 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5716 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N

5720 NetBSD Notes:
5721 =============
5722
5723 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5724 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5725
5726 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5727 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5728 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5729 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5730 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5731 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5732
5733 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5734 # mkdir powerpc
5735 # ln -s powerpc machine
5736 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5737 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5738
5739 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5740 and U-Boot include files.
5741
5742 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5743 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5744 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5745 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5746 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5747
5748
5749 Implementation Internals:
5750 =========================
5751
5752 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5753 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5754 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5755 hardware.
5756
5757
5758 Initial Stack, Global Data:
5759 ---------------------------
5760
5761 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5762 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5763 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5764 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5765 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5766 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5767 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5768 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5769 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5770 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5771
5772 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5773 U-Boot mailing list:
5774
5775 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
5776 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
5777 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
5778 ...
5779
5780 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5781 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5782 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5783 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5784 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5785 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5786 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5787 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5788
5789 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5790 is another option for the system designer to use as an
5791 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5792 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5793 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5794 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5795 used.
5796
5797 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5798 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5799 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5800 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5801 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5802 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5803 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5804 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5805 you get the config right.

5809
5810 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5811 code for the initialization procedures:
5812
5813 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5814 to write it.
5815
5816 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
5817 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5818 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5819
5820 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5821 that.
5822
5823 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5824 normal global data to share information between the code. But it
5825 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5826 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5827 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5828 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5829 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5830 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5831 reserve for this purpose.
5832
5833 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5834 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5835 GCC's implementation.
5836
5837 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5838 R1: stack pointer
5839 R2: reserved for system use
5840 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5841 R5-R10: parameter passing
5842 R13: small data area pointer
5843 R30: GOT pointer
5844 R31: frame pointer
5845
5846 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5847 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5848 going back and forth between asm and C)
5849
5850 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5851
5852 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5853 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5854 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5855 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5856 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5857 624 text + 127 data).
5858
5859 On ARM, the following registers are used:
5860
5861 R0: function argument word/integer result
5862 R1-R3: function argument word
5863 R9: platform specific
5864 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
5865 R11: argument (frame) pointer
5866 R12: temporary workspace
5867 R13: stack pointer
5868 R14: link register
5869 R15: program counter
5870
5871 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
5872
5873 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
5874
5875 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5876 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5877
5878 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5879
5880 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5881 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5882
5883 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5884
5885 R0-R1: argument/return
5886 R2-R5: argument
5887 R15: temporary register for assembler
5888 R16: trampoline register
5889 R28: frame pointer (FP)
5890 R29: global pointer (GP)
5891 R30: link register (LP)
5892 R31: stack pointer (SP)
5893 PC: program counter (PC)
5894
5895 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5896
5897 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5898 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5899
5900 Memory Management:
5901 ------------------
5902
5903 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5904 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5905
5906 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5907 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5908 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5909 physical memory banks.
5910
5911 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5912 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5913 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5914 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5915 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5916 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5917 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5918
5919 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5920 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5921
5922 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5923 this:
5924
5925 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5926 :
5927 0x0000 1FFF
5928 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5929 :
5930 :
5931
5932 :
5933 :
5934 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5935 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5936 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5937 :
5938 0x00FD FFFF
5939 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5940 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5941 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5942 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5943
5944
5945 System Initialization:
5946 ----------------------
5947
5948 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5949 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5950 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
5951 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5952 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5953 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5954 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5955 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5956 the caches and the SIU.
5957
5958 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5959 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5960 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5961 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5962 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5963 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5964 banks.
5965
5966 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5967 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5968 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
5969 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5970 contiguous memory starting from 0.
5971
5972 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5973 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5974 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5975 pages, and the final stack is set up.
5976
5977 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5978 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5979 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5980 new address in RAM.

6057 Coding Standards:
6058 -----------------
6059
6060 All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6061 coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6062 "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6063
6064 Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6065 MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6066 reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6067 sources.
6068
6069 Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6070 Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6071 in your code.
6072
6073 Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6074 - remove any trailing white space
6075 - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6076 - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6077 - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6078 - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6079
6080 Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6081 with a request to reformat the changes.
6082
6083
6084 Submitting Patches:
6085 -------------------
6086
6087 Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6088 establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6089 may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6090
6091 Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6092
6093 Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6094 see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6095
6096 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6097 it:
6098
6099 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6100 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6101 patch actually fixes something.
6102
6103 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
6104 implementation.
6105
6106 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6107
6108 * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6109 information and associated file and directory references.
6110
6111 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6112 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6113
6114 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6115 document these in the README file.
6116
6117 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6118 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6119 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6120 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6121 with some other mail clients.
6122
6123 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6124 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6125 GNU diff.
6126
6127 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6128 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6129 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6130 affected files).
6131
6132 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6133 and compressed attachments must not be used.
6134
6135 * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6136 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6137
6138 * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6139 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6140
6141
6142 Notes:
6143
6144 * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
6145 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6146 for any of the boards.
6147
6148 * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6149 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6150 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6151
6152 * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6153 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6154 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6155 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6156 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6157 modification.
6158
6159 * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6160 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6161 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6162 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
