8 Summary:
9 ========
10
11 This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
12 Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13 processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14 initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15 code.
16
17 The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
18 the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19 header files in common, and special provision has been made to
20 support booting of Linux images.
21
22 Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23 configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24 implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25 add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26 code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27 load and run it dynamically.
28
29
30 Status:
31 =======
32
33 In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
34 Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
35 "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
36
37 In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
38 the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
39 scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
40 companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.
41
42 Note: As of August, 2010, there is no longer a CHANGELOG file in the
43 actual U-Boot source tree; however, it can be created dynamically
44 from the Git log using:
45
46 make CHANGELOG

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

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

911 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
912 support you can write:
913
914 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
915 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
916
917 Other Commands:
918 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
919
920 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
921 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
922 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
923 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
924 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
925 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
926 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
927 initial stack and some data.
928
929
930 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
931
932 - Removal of commands
933 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
934 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
935 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
936 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
937 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
938 simple boot procedures.
939
940 - Regular expression support:
941 CONFIG_REGEX
942 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
943 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
944 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
945 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
946
947 - Device tree:
948 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
949 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
950 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
951 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
952 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
953 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
954
955 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
956 be done using one of the three options below:
957
958 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
959 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
960 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
961 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
962 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
963 the global data structure as gd->blob.
964
965 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
966 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
967 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
968 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
969
970 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
971
972 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
973 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
974 still use the individual files if you need something more
975 exotic.
976
977 CONFIG_OF_BOARD
978 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree
979 provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with
980 the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support
981 this option (see include/fdtdec.h file).
982
983 - Watchdog:
984 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
985 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
986 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
987 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
988 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
989 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
990 available, then no further board specific code should
991 be needed to use it.
992
993 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
994 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
995 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
996 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
997
998 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
999 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1000
1001 - U-Boot Version:
1002 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1003 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1004 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1005 version as printed by the "version" command.
1006 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1007 next reset.
1008
1009 - Real-Time Clock:
1010
1011 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1012 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1013 following options:
1014
1015 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1016 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1017 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1018 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1019 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1020 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1021 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1022 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1023 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
1024 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1025 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1026 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1027 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1028 RV3029 RTC.
1029
1030 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1031 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1032
1033 - GPIO Support:
1034 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1035
1036 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1037 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1038 pins supported by a particular chip.
1039
1040 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1041 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1042
1043 - I/O tracing:
1044 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1045 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1046 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1047 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1048 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1049 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1050 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1051 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1052
1053 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1054 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1055 still continue to operate.
1056
1057 iotrace is enabled
1058 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1059 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1060 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1061 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1062 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1063 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1064
1065 - Timestamp Support:
1066
1067 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1068 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1069 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1070 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1071
1072 - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1073 Zero or more of the following:
1074 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1075 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1076 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1077 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1078 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1079 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1080 disk/part_efi.c
1081 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
1082
1083 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_IDE or
1084 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1085 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1086
1087 - IDE Reset method:
1088 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1089 board configurations files but used nowhere!
1090
1091 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1092 be performed by calling the function
1093 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1094 which has to be defined in a board specific file
1095
1096 - ATAPI Support:
1097 CONFIG_ATAPI
1098
1099 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1100
1101 - LBA48 Support
1102 CONFIG_LBA48
1103
1104 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1105 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1106 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1107 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1108

1206 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1207 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1208 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1209 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1210 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1211 control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1212 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.

1296 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1297 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1298 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1299 storage devices.
1300 Note:
1301 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1302 (TEAC FD-05PUB).
1303 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1304 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK

1321 HW module registers.
1322
1323 - USB Device:
1324 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1325 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1326 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1327 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1328 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1329 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1330 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1331 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1332 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1333 a Linux host by
1334 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1335 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1336 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1337 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1338
1339 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1340 Define this to build a UDC device
1341
1342 CONFIG_USB_TTY
1343 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1344 talk to the UDC device
1345
1346 CONFIG_USBD_HS
1347 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1348 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1349 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1350 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1351 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1352 speed.
1353
1354 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1355 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1356 be set to usbtty.
1357
1358 mpc8xx:
1359 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1360 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1361 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1362
1363 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1364 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1365 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1366 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1367 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1368 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1369
1370 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1371 Define this string as the name of your company for
1372 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1373
1374 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1375 Define this string as the name of your product
1376 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1377
1378 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1379 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1380 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1381 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1382 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1383
1384 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1385 Define this as the unique Product ID
1386 for your device
1387 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1388
1389 - ULPI Layer Support:
1390 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1391 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1392 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1393 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1394 viewport is supported.
1395 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1396 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1397 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1398 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1399 the appropriate value in Hz.
1400
1401 - MMC Support:
1402 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1403 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1404 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1405 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1406 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1407 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1408
1409 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1410 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1411
1412 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1413 Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1414
1415 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1416 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1417
1418 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1419 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1420
1421 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1422 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1423 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1424
1425 - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1426 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1427 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1428
1429 CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1430 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1431 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1432 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1433 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1434
1435 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1436 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1437
1438 CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1439 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1440
1441 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1442 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1443 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1444 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1445 one that would help mostly the developer.
1446
1447 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1448 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1449 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1450 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1451 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1452
1453 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1454 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1455 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1456 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1457 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1458 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1459
1460 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1461 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1462 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1463 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1464
1465 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1466 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1467 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1468 sending again an USB request to the device.
1469
1470 - USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1471 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1472 This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1473
1474 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1475 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1476 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1477 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1478 used on Android devices.
1479 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1480
1481 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1482 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1483 image format header.
1484
1485 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1486 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1487 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1488 downloaded images.
1489
1490 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1491 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1492 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1493 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1494
1495 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1496 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1497 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1498 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1499
1500 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1501 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1502 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1503 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1504
1505 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1506 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1507 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1508 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1509 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1510 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1511 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1512 The default is "gpt" if undefined.
1513
1514 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1515 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1516 image to DOS MBR.
1517 This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1518 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1519 If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.
1520
1521 - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1522 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND
1523 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1524
1525 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1526 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1527 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1528
1529 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1530 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1531
1532 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1533 file in FAT formatted partition.
1534
1535 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1536 user to write files to FAT.
1537
1538 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1539 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1540
1541 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1542 a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1543
1544 - Keyboard Support:
1545 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1546
1547 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1548
1549 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1550 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1551 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1552 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1553 instead.
1554
1555 - Video support:
1556 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1557 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1558 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1559 support, and should also define these other macros:
1560
1561 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1562 CONFIG_VIDEO
1563 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1564 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1565 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1566 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1567 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1568
1569 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1570 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1571 boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
1572 description of this variable.
1573
1574 - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1575
1576 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1577 display); also select one of the supported displays
1578 by defining one of these:
1579
1580 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1581
1582 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1583
1584 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1585
1586 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1587
1588 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1589
1590 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1591 Active, color, single scan.
1592
1593 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1594
1595 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1596 Active, color, single scan.
1597
1598 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1599
1600 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1601 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1602
1603 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1604
1605 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1606 Active, color, single scan.
1607
1608 CONFIG_HLD1045
1609
1610 HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1611 Active, color, single scan.
1612
1613 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1614
1615 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1616 or
1617 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
1618 or
1619 Hitachi SP14Q002
1620
1621 320x240. Black & white.
1622
1623 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1624
1625 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1626 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1627 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1628 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1629 a per-section basis.
1630
1631
1632 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1633
1634 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1635 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1636 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1637 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1638 printed out.
1639 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1640 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1641 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1642 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1643 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1644 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1645 1 = 90 degree rotation
1646 2 = 180 degree rotation
1647 3 = 270 degree rotation
1648
1649 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1650 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1651
1652 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1653
1654 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1655
1656 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1657
1658 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1659 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1660
1661 - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1662
1663 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1664 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1665 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1666 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1667 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1668 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1669 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1670 loaded very quickly after power-on.
1671
1672 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1673
1674 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1675 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1676 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
1677 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1678 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1679 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1680 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1681 there is no need to set this option.
1682
1683 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1684
1685 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1686 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1687 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1688 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1689 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1690 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1691
1692 Example:
1693 setenv splashpos m,m
1694 => image at center of screen
1695
1696 setenv splashpos 30,20
1697 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1698
1699 setenv splashpos -10,m
1700 => vertically centered image
1701 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1702
1703 - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1704
1705 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1706 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1707 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1708
1709 - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1710
1711 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1712 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1713 bmp command.
1714
1715 - Compression support:
1716 CONFIG_GZIP
1717
1718 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1719
1720 CONFIG_BZIP2
1721
1722 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1723 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1724 compressed images are supported.
1725
1726 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1727 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1728 be at least 4MB.
1729
1730 CONFIG_LZMA
1731
1732 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1733 images is included.
1734
1735 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1736 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1737 formula:
1738
1739 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1740
1741 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1742 and Literal pos bits.
1743
1744 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1745 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1746 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1747 a very small buffer.
1748
1749 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1750 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1751 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1752
1753 CONFIG_LZO
1754
1755 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1756 is included.
1757
1758 - MII/PHY support:
1759 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1760
1761 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1762
1763 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1764
1765 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1766
1767 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1768
1769 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1770 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1771
1772 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1773
1774 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1775 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1776 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1777 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1778
1779 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1780
1781 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1782 command issued before MII status register can be read
1783
1784 - IP address:
1785 CONFIG_IPADDR
1786
1787 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1788 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1789 determined through e.g. bootp.
1790 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
1791
1792 - Server IP address:
1793 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1794
1795 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1796 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1797 (Environment variable "serverip")
1798
1799 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1800
1801 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1802 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1803
1804 - Gateway IP address:
1805 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1806
1807 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1808 default router where packets to other networks are
1809 sent to.
1810 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1811
1812 - Subnet mask:
1813 CONFIG_NETMASK
1814
1815 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1816 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1817 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1818 forwarded through a router.
1819 (Environment variable "netmask")
1820
1821 - Multicast TFTP Mode:
1822 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1823
1824 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1825 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
1826 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
1827 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1828 multicast group.
1829
1830 - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1831 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1832
1833 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1834 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1835 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1836 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1837 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1838 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1839 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1840 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1841 following delays are inserted then:
1842
1843 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1844 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1845 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1846 4th and following
1847 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1848
1849 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1850
1851 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1852 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1853 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1854 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1855 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1856 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1857 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1858 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1859 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1860 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1861 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1862 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1863 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1864 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1865 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1866
1867 - DHCP Advanced Options:
1868 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1869 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1870
1871 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1872 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1873 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1874 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1875 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1876 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1877 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1878 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1879 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1880 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1881 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1882 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1883 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1884
1885 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1886 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1887
1888 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1889 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1890 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1891 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1892 is not available.
1893
1894 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1895 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1896 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1897 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1898 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1899 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1900 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1901 is defined.
1902
1903 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1904 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1905 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1906 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1907 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1908 option 12 to the DHCP server.
1909
1910 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1911
1912 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1913 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1914 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1915 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1916 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1917 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1918 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1919 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1920 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1921 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1922 this delay.
1923
1924 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1925 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1926 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1927 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1928 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1929
1930 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1931
1932 - CDP Options:
1933 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1934
1935 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1936
1937 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1938
1939 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1940 of the device.
1941
1942 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1943
1944 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1945 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1946 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1947
1948 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1949
1950 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1951 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1952
1953 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1954
1955 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1956
1957 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1958
1959 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1960
1961 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1962
1963 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1964
1965 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1966
1967 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1968 device in .1 of milliwatts.
1969
1970 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1971
1972 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1973
1974 - Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
1975
1976 Several configurations allow to display the current
1977 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1978 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1979 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1980 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1981 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1982 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
1983 feature in U-Boot.
1984
1985 Additional options:
1986
1987 CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1988 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
1989 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
1990 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1991 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
1992
1993 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
1994 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
1995 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
1996 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
1997 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
1998 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
1999
2000 - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2001
2002 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2003 on those systems that support this (optional)
2004 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2005
2006 - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2007
2008 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2009 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2010 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2011 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2012 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2013 interface.
2014

2034 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first
2035 bus.
2036 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define
2037 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset
2038 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and

2146
2147 additional defines:
2148
2149 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2150 Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use.
2151
2152 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2153 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2154 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2155 omit this define.
2156
2157 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2158 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2159 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2160 define.
2161
2162 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2163 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2164 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2165 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2166 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2167
2168 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2169 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2170 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2171 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2172 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2173 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2174 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2175 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2176 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2177 }
2178
2179 which defines
2180 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2181 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2182 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2183 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2184 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
2185 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2186 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2187 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2188 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2189
2190 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2191
2192 - Legacy I2C Support:
2193 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2194 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2195 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2196
2197 I2C_INIT
2198
2199 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2200 controller or configure ports.
2201
2202 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2203
2204 I2C_PORT
2205
2206 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2207 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2208 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2209
2210 I2C_ACTIVE
2211
2212 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2213 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2214 define can be null.
2215
2216 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2217
2218 I2C_TRISTATE
2219
2220 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2221 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2222 define can be null.
2223
2224 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2225
2226 I2C_READ
2227
2228 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2229 false if it is low.
2230
2231 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2232
2233 I2C_SDA(bit)
2234
2235 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2236 is false, it clears it (low).
2237
2238 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2239 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2240 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2241
2242 I2C_SCL(bit)
2243
2244 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2245 is false, it clears it (low).
2246
2247 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2248 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2249 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2250
2251 I2C_DELAY
2252
2253 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2254 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2255 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2256 like:
2257
2258 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2259
2260 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2261
2262 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2263 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2264 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2265 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2266
2267 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2268 the generic GPIO functions.
2269
2270 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2271
2272 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2273 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2274 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2275 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2276 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2277 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2278 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2279 is run early in the boot sequence.
2280
2281 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2282
2283 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2284 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2285 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2286 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2287
2288 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2289
2290 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2291 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2292 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2293 a 1D array of device addresses
2294
2295 e.g.
2296 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2297 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2298
2299 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2300
2301 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2302 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2303
2304 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2305
2306 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2307
2308 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2309 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2310
2311 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2312
2313 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2314 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2315
2316 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2317
2318 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2319 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2320 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2321 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2322 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2323 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2324 the other.
2325
2326 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2327
2328 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2329 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2330 D/As on the SACSng board)
2331
2332 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2333
2334 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2335 only SH7757 is supported.
2336
2337 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2338
2339 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2340 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2341 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2342 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2343 defined, the board configuration must define several
2344 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2345 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2346
2347 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2348
2349 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2350 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2351 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2352 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2353 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2354
2355 CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2356
2357 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2358 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2359
2360 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2361 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2362 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
2363
2364 - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2365
2366 Enables FPGA subsystem.
2367
2368 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2369
2370 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2371 (ALTERA, XILINX)
2372
2373 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2374
2375 Enables support for FPGA family.
2376 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2377
2378 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2379
2380 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2381
2382 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2383
2384 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2385
2386 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2387
2388 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2389 status by the configuration function. This option
2390 will require a board or device specific function to
2391 be written.
2392
2393 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2394
2395 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2396 configuration driver.
2397
2398 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2399 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2400
2401 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2402
2403 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2404 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2405 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2406 indicated a CRC error).
2407
2408 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2409
2410 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2411 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2412 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2413 ms.
2414
2415 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2416
2417 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2418 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2419
2420 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2421
2422 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2423 200 ms.
2424
2425 - Configuration Management:
2426 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2427
2428 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2429 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2430 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2431 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2432 make / buildman.
2433
2434 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2435
2436 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2437 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2438
2439 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2440
2441 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2442 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2443 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2444 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2445 protects these variables from casual modification by
2446 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2447 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2448 change this behaviour:
2449
2450 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2451 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2452 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2453 these parameters.
2454
2455 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2456 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2457 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2458 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2459 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2460 read-only.]
2461
2462 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2463 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2464 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2465 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2466
2467 - Protected RAM:
2468 CONFIG_PRAM
2469
2470 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2471 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2472 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2473 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2474 this default value by defining an environment
2475 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2476 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2477 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2478 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2479 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2480 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2481 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2482
2483 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2484 saveenv
2485
2486 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2487 either, which results in a memory region that will
2488 not be affected by reboots.
2489
2490 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2491 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2492 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2493 following board configurations are known to be
2494 "pRAM-clean":
2495
2496 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2497 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2498 FLAGADM, TQM8260
2499
2500 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2501 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2502 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2503 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2504 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2505 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2506 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2507
2508 - Error Recovery:
2509 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2510
2511 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2512 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2513 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2514 system where you want the system to reboot
2515 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2516 useful during development since you can try to debug
2517 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2518
2519 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2520
2521 This variable defines the number of retries for
2522 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2523 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2524 default value of 5 is used.
2525
2526 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2527
2528 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2529
2530 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2531
2532 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2533 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2534 try longer timeout such as
2535 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2536
2537 - Command Interpreter:
2538 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2539
2540 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2541
2542 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2543
2544 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2545 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2546 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2547
2548 Note:
2549
2550 In the current implementation, the local variables
2551 space and global environment variables space are
2552 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2553 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2554 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2555 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2556 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2557
2558 Global environment variables are those you use
2559 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2560 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2561 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2562
2563 To store commands and special characters in a
2564 variable, please use double quotation marks
2565 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2566 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2567 symbols.
2568
2569 - Command Line Editing and History:
2570 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2571
2572 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2573 command line input operations
2574
2575 - Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2576 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2577
2578 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2579 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2580 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2581 and PS2.
2582
2583 - Default Environment:
2584 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2585
2586 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2587 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2588 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2589
2590 For example, place something like this in your
2591 board's config file:
2592
2593 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2594 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2595 "myvar2=value2\0"
2596
2597 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2598 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2599 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2600 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2601 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2602 You better know what you are doing here.
2603
2604 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2605 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2606 the environment like the "source" command or the
2607 boot command first.
2608
2609 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2610
2611 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2612 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2613 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2614
2615 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2616
2617 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2618 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2619 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2620 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2621 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2622
2623 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2624
2625 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2626 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2627 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2628
2629 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2630
2631 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2632 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2633 that so that the environment is not available until
2634 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2635 this is instead controlled by the value of
2636 /config/load-environment.
2637
2638 - DataFlash Support:
2639 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2640
2641 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2642 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2643 commands cp, md...
2644
2645 - Serial Flash support
2646 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2647
2648 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2649 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2650
2651 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2652 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2653 commands.
2654
2655 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2656 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2657 flash is present on the system.
2658
2659 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2660 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2661 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2662 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2663
2664 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2665
2666 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2667 test ('sf test').
2668
2669 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2670
2671 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2672 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2673 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
2674
2675 - SystemACE Support:
2676 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2677
2678 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2679 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2680 of the chip must also be defined in the
2681 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2682
2683 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2684 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2685
2686 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2687 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2688
2689 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2690 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2691
2692 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2693 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2694 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2695 number generator is used.
2696
2697 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2698 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2699 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2700
2701 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2702 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2703 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2704 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2705 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2706 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2707 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2708
2709 - Hashing support:
2710 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2711
2712 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2713 size a little.
2714
2715 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2716 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2717
2718 - bootcount support:
2719 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2720
2721 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2722 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2723
2724 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2725 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2726 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2727 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2728 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2729 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2730 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2731 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2732 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2733 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2734 the bootcounter.
2735 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
2736
2737 - Show boot progress:
2738 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2739
2740 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2741 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2742 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2743 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2744 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2745 the following checkpoints are implemented:
2746

2900
2901 - legacy image format:
2902 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
2903 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
2904
2905 Default:
2906 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
2907
2908 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
2909 disable the legacy image format
2910
2911 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
2912 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
2913
2914 - Standalone program support:
2915 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
2916
2917 This option defines a board specific value for the
2918 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
2919 overwriting the architecture dependent default
2920 settings.
2921
2922 - Frame Buffer Address:
2923 CONFIG_FB_ADDR
2924
2925 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
2926 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
2927 when using a graphics controller has separate video
2928 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2929 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2930 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2931 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2932 configured panel size.
2933
2934 Please see board_init_f function.
2935
2936 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
2937 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
2938 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
2939 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
2940
2941 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
2942 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
2943
2944 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
2945 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
2946
2947 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
2948 Needed for mtdparts command support.
2949
2950 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
2951
2952 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
2953 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
2954
2955 - UBI support
2956 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
2957
2958 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
2959 with the UBI flash translation layer
2960
2961 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
2962
2963 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
2964
2965 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
2966 warnings and errors enabled.
2967
2968
2969 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
2970 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
2971 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
2972 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
2973 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
2974 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
2975
2976 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
2977 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
2978 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
2979 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
2980 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
2981
2982 default: 4096
2983
2984 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
2985 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
2986 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
2987 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
2988 flash), this value is ignored.
2989
2990 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
2991 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
2992 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
2993 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
2994 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
2995 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
2996
2997 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
2998 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
2999 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3000 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3001 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3002 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3003 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3004 partition.
3005
3006 default: 20
3007
3008 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3009 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3010 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3011 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3012 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3013 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3014 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3015 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3016 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3017 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3018 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3019 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3020
3021 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3022 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3023 without a fastmap.
3024 default: 0
3025
3026 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3027 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3028 default: 0
3029
3030 - UBIFS support
3031 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3032
3033 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3034 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3035
3036 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3037
3038 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3039
3040 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3041 warnings and errors enabled.
3042
3043 - SPL framework
3044 CONFIG_SPL
3045 Enable building of SPL globally.
3046
3047 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3048 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3049
3050 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3051 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3052 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3053 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3054 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3055 must not be both defined at the same time.
3056
3057 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3058 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3059 linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3060 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3061 not exceed it.
3062
3063 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3064 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3065
3066 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3067 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
3068 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3069
3070 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3071 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3072
3073 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3074 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3075 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3076 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3077 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3078 must not be both defined at the same time.
3079
3080 CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3081 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3082
3083 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3084 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3085 loaded does not have a signature.
3086 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3087 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3088 will be caught.
3089 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3090 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3091 and thus should be skipped silently.
3092
3093 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3094 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3095 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
3096 CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3097
3098 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3099 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3100 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3101 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3102 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3103
3104 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3105 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3106
3107 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3108 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework
3109 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3110 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3111
3112 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3113 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3114 See also: doc/README.falcon
3115
3116 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3117 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3118 about the running system.
3119
3120 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
3121 Arch init code should be built for a very small image
3122
3123 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
3124 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3125 used in raw mode
3126
3127 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3128 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3129 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3130
3131 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
3132 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
3133 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
3134 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
3135 (for falcon mode)
3136
3137 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
3138 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3139 used in fs mode
3140
3141 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
3142 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
3143
3144 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
3145 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
3146 from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3147
3148 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
3149 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
3150 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3151
3152 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3153 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3154 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3155 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3156 loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3157
3158 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3159 Avoid SPL relocation
3160
3161 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3162 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires
3163 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
3164
3165 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
3166 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.
3167
3168 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
3169 Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3170
3171 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE
3172 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that
3173 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3174
3175 CONFIG_SPL_UBI
3176 Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
3177 loader
3178
3179 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3180 Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3181 if you need to save space.
3182
3183 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3184 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3185 SPL binary.
3186
3187 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3188 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3189 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3190 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3191 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3192 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3193 to read U-Boot
3194
3195 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3196 Add support NAND boot
3197
3198 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3199 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3200
3201 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3202 Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3203
3204 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3205 Size of image to load
3206
3207 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3208 Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3209
3210 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3211 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3212 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3213
3214 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3215 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3216 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3217
3218 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3219 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3220
3221 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3222 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3223 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3224 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3225 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3226 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3227
3228 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3229 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3230 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3231 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3232
3233 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3234 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3235 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3236 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3237 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3238
3239 - TPL framework
3240 CONFIG_TPL
3241 Enable building of TPL globally.
3242
3243 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3244 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3245 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3246 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3247 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3248 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3249
3250 - Interrupt support (PPC):
3251
3252 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3253 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3254 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3255 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3256 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3257 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3258 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3259 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3260 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3261 general timer_interrupt().
3262
3263
3264 Board initialization settings:
3265 ------------------------------
3266
3267 During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3268 to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3269 before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3270 following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3271 architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3272 typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3273
3274 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3275 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3276 - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3277 - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3278
3279 Configuration Settings:
3280 -----------------------
3281
3282 - CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3283 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3284
3285 - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3286 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3287
3288 - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3289 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3290
3291 - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3292 prompt for user input.
3293
3294 - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
3295
3296 - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
3297
3298 - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3299
3300 - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3301 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3302 booted
3303
3304 - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3305 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3306
3307 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3308 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3309 simple memory test.
3310
3311 - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3312 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3313
3314 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3315 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3316 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3317
3318 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3319 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
3320 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3321 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3322 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3323 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3324 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3325 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3326
3327 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3328 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3329 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3330 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3331 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3332 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3333 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3334 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3335 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3336 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3337
3338 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3339 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3340 be touched.
3341
3342 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3343 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3344 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3345 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3346 problems.
3347
3348 - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3349 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3350
3351 - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3352 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3353
3354 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3355 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3356
3357 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3358 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3359 make config files to be same as the text base address
3360 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3361 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3362
3363 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3364 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3365 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3366 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3367 flash sector.
3368
3369 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3370 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3371
3372 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3373 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3374 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3375 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3376 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3377 space.
3378
3379 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3380 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3381 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3382 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3383 U-Boot relocates itself.
3384
3385 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3386 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3387 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3388 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3389
3390 - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3391 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3392 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3393 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3394 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3395 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3396 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3397 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3398 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3399 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3400 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3401 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3402 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3403 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3404 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3405 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3406
3407 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3408
3409 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3410 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3411 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3412 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3413 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3414
3415 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3416 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3417 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3418 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3419 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3420 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3421 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3422 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
3423 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3424 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3425 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3426
3427 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3428 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3429 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3430 is enabled.
3431
3432 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3433 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3434 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3435
3436 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3437 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3438 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3439
3440 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3441 Max number of Flash memory banks
3442
3443 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3444 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3445
3446 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3447 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3448
3449 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3450 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3451
3452 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3453 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3454
3455 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3456 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3457
3458 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3459 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3460 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3461
3462 - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3463
3464 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3465 without this option such a download has to be
3466 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3467 copy from RAM to flash.
3468
3469 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3470 you can check if the download worked before you erase
3471 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3472 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3473 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3474
3475 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3476 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3477 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3478
3479 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3480 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3481 in the drivers directory
3482
3483 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3484 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3485 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3486 to the MTD layer.
3487
3488 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3489 Use buffered writes to flash.
3490
3491 - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3492 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3493 write commands.
3494
3495 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3496 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3497 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3498 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3499 optionally available.
3500
3501 - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3502 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3503 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3504 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3505
3506 - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3507 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3508 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3509 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3510 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3511 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3512 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3513 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3514
3515 - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3516 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3517 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3518 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3519 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3520 on high Ethernet traffic.
3521 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3522
3523 - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3524
3525 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3526 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3527 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3528 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3529 lib/hashtable.c for details.
3530
3531 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3532 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3533 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3534 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3535 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3536 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3537
3538 The format of the list is:
3539 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3540 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
3541 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
3542 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3543 list = entry[,list]
3544
3545 The type attributes are:
3546 s - String (default)
3547 d - Decimal
3548 x - Hexadecimal
3549 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3550 i - IP address
3551 m - MAC address
3552
3553 The access attributes are:
3554 a - Any (default)
3555 r - Read-only
3556 o - Write-once
3557 c - Change-default
3558
3559 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3560 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3561 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3562
3563 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3564 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3565 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3566 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3567 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3568 ".flags" variable.
3569
3570 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3571 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3572 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3573
3574 - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3575 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3576 access flags.
3577
3578 - CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3579 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3580 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3581 building U-Boot to enable this.
3582
3583 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3584 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3585 following configurations:
3586
3587 - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3588
3589 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3590 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3591
3592 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3593
3594 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3595
3596 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3597 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3598 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3599 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3600 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3601 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3602 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3603 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3604 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3605 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3606 between U-Boot and the environment.
3607
3608 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3609
3610 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3611 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3612 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3613 for this sector is given here.
3614
3615 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3616
3617 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3618
3619 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3620 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3621 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3622
3623 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3624
3625 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3626
3627
3628 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3629 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3630 the environment.
3631
3632 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3633
3634 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3635 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3636 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3637 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3638
3639 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3640 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3641 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3642 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3643 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3644 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3645 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3646 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3647 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3648
3649 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3650 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
3651
3652 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
3653 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3654 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
3655 a "saveenv" operation.
3656
3657 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3658 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3659 accordingly!
3660
3661
3662 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
3663
3664 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3665 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3666 environment.
3667
3668 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3669 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3670
3671 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
3672 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3673 can just be read and written to, without any special
3674 provision.
3675
3676 BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3677 in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
3678 console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
3679 U-Boot will hang.
3680
3681 Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3682 environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3683 keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3684 to save the current settings.
3685
3686
3687 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
3688
3689 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3690 device and a driver for it.
3691
3692 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3693 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3694
3695 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3696 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3697
3698 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
3699 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3700 The default address is zero.
3701
3702 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
3703 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
3704
3705 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
3706 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3707 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3708 would require six bits.
3709
3710 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
3711 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
3712 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
3713
3714 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
3715 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3716 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3717
3718 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
3719 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3720 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3721 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3722 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3723 byte chips.
3724
3725 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3726 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3727 in the chip address.
3728
3729 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
3730 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3731
3732 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3733 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3734 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3735
3736 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3737 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3738 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3739 EEPROM. For example:
3740
3741 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
3742
3743 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3744 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
3745
3746 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
3747
3748 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
3749 want to use for the environment.
3750
3751 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3752 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3753 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3754
3755 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3756 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3757 at the specified address.
3758
3759 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
3760
3761 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
3762 want to use for the environment.
3763
3764 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3765 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3766
3767 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3768 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3769 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
3770
3771 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3772
3773 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
3774
3775 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3776
3777 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3778 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3779 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3780 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
3781 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
3782
3783 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
3784 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
3785
3786 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
3787
3788 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
3789
3790 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
3791
3792 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
3793
3794 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
3795
3796 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3797
3798 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3799 want to use for the local device's environment.
3800
3801 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3802 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3803
3804 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3805 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3806 local device can get the environment from remote memory
3807 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
3808
3809 BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3810 "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
3811 environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3812 but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
3813
3814 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
3815
3816 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3817 for the environment.
3818
3819 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3820 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3821
3822 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3823 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3824 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3825
3826 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3827
3828 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3829 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3830 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3831 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
3832 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3833
3834 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3835
3836 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3837 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3838 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3839 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3840 the range to be avoided.
3841
3842 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3843
3844 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3845 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3846 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3847 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3848 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
3849
3850 - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3851
3852 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3853 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3854 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3855
3856 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3857
3858 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3859 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3860 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3861
3862 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3863
3864 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3865
3866 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3867
3868 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3869 environment in.
3870
3871 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3872
3873 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3874 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3875 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3876
3877 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3878 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3879
3880 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3881 when storing the env in UBI.
3882
3883 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
3884 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
3885
3886 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
3887
3888 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
3889
3890 - FAT_ENV_DEVICE_AND_PART:
3891
3892 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
3893 be as following:
3894
3895 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
3896 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
3897 partition table.
3898 - "D:0": device D.
3899 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
3900 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
3901 table.
3902 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
3903 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
3904 partition table then means device D.
3905
3906 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
3907
3908 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
3909 environment.
3910
3911 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
3912 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
3913
3914 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3915
3916 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3917 environment.
3918
3919 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3920
3921 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3922
3923 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3924
3925 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3926 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3927 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3928
3929 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3930 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3931
3932 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3933 area within the specified MMC device.
3934
3935 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3936 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3937 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3938 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3939 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3940 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3941 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3942
3943 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3944 MMC sector boundary.
3945
3946 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3947
3948 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3949 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3950 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3951 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3952
3953 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3954 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3955
3956 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3957 an MMC sector boundary.
3958
3959 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3960
3961 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3962 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3963 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3964
3965 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
3966
3967 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3968 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3969 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3970 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3971 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3972 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3973 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3974
3975 Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
3976 has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
3977 created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
3978 until then to read environment variables.
3979
3980 The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3981 is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3982 with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3983 necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3984 "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3985 have any device yet where we could complain.]
3986
3987 Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3988 the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
3989 use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
3990
3991 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
3992 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
3993
3994 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
3995 also needs to be defined.
3996
3997 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
3998 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
3999
4000 - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4001 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4002 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4003 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4004 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4005 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4006
4007 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4008 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4009 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4010 to do this.
4011
4012 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4013 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4014 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4015 present.
4016
4017 - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4018 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4019 build system checks that the actual size does not
4020 exceed it.
4021
4022 Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4023 ---------------------------------------------------
4024
4025 - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4026 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4027
4028 - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4029 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4030
4031 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4032 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4033 the IMMR register after a reset.
4034
4035 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4036 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4037 PowerPC SOCs.
4038
4039 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4040 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4041 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4042
4043 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4044 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4045
4046 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4047 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4048 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
4049 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
4050 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4051 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4052 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4053
4054 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4055 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4056
4057 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4058 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4059 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
4060 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4061 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4062
4063 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4064 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4065 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4066 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4067
4068 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4069 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4070 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4071
4072 - Floppy Disk Support:
4073 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4074
4075 the default drive number (default value 0)
4076
4077 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4078
4079 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4080 (default value 1)
4081
4082 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4083
4084 defines the offset of register from address. It
4085 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4086 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4087
4088 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4089 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4090 default value.
4091
4092 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4093 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4094 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4095 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4096 initializations.
4097
4098 - CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4099 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4100 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4101 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4102 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4103 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4104 is required.
4105
4106 - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4107 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4108 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4109
4110 - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4111
4112 Start address of memory area that can be used for
4113 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4114 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4115 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4116 will become available only after programming the
4117 memory controller and running certain initialization
4118 sequences.
4119
4120 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4121 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4122 - MPC824X: data cache
4123 - PPC4xx: data cache
4124
4125 - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4126
4127 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4128 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4129 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4130 data is located at the end of the available space
4131 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4132 GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4133 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4134 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4135
4136 Note:
4137 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4138 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4139 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4140 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4141 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
4142
4143 - CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6)
4144
4145 - CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9)
4146
4147 - CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26)
4148
4149 - CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31)
4150
4151 - CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30)
4152
4153 - CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27)
4154
4155 - CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM:
4156 SDRAM timing
4157
4158 - CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA:
4159 periodic timer for refresh
4160
4161 - CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47)
4162
4163 - FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM,
4164 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP,
4165 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM,
4166 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM:

4171 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM:
4172 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM)
4173
4174 - CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K,
4175 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL:

4207 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4208 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4209 required.
4210
4211 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4212 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4213 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4214 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4215 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4216 by coreboot or similar.
4217
4218 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4219 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4220

4229
4230 - CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
4231 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
4232
4233 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:

4239 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
4240 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4241
4242 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4243 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4244 a 16 bit bus.
4245 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4246 Example of drivers that use it:
4247 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4248 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4249
4250 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4251 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4252 a default value will be used.
4253
4254 - CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
4255 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4256 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4257
4258 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4259 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4260
4261 - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4262 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4263 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4264 to something your driver can deal with.
4265
4266 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4267 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4268 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4269 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4270 header files or board specific files.
4271
4272 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4273 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4274
4275 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4276 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4277
4278 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4279 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4280
4281 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4282 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4283 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4284
4285 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4286 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4287
4288 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4289 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4290 to the given FEC; i. e.
4291 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4292 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4293
4294 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4295
4296 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4297 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4298 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4299
4300 - CONFIG_RMII
4301 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4302 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4303 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4304
4305 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4306 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4307 The syntax is:
4308
4309 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4310
4311 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4312 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4313 area should have.
4314
4315 - CONFIG_LOOPW
4316 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4317 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4318
4319 - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4320 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4321 "md/mw" commands.
4322 Examples:
4323
4324 => mdc.b 10 4 500
4325 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4326
4327 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4328 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4329
4330 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4331 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4332
4333 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4334 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4335 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4336 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4337 relocate itself into RAM.
4338
4339 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4340 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4341 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4342 these initializations itself.
4343
4344 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4345 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4346 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4347 instruction cache) is still performed.
4348
4349 - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4350 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4351 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4352 compiling a NAND SPL.
4353
4354 - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4355 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4356 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4357 It is loaded by the SPL.
4358
4359 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4360 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4361 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4362 previous 4k of the .text section.
4363
4364 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4365 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4366 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4367 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4368 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4369 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4370 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4371 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4372
4373 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4374 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4375 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4376
4377 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4378 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4379
4380 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4381 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4382 driver that uses this:
4383 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4384
4385 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4386 -----------------------------------
4387
4388 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4389 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4390 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4391 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4392 within that device.
4393
4394 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4395 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4396 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4397 is also specified.
4398
4399 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4400 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4401 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4402 is also specified.
4403
4404 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4405 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4406 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4407 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4408 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4409
4410 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4411 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4412 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4413 virtual address in NOR flash.
4414
4415 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4416 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4417 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4418
4419 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4420 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4421 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4422
4423 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4424 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4425 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4426 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4427 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4428 master's memory space.
4429
4430 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4431 ---------------------------------------------------------
4432 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4433 "firmware".
4434 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4435 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4436 within that device.
4437
4438 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4439 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4440
4441 Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4442 -------------------------------------------
4443 The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4444 "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4445 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4446
4447 - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4448 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4449
4450 Reproducible builds
4451 -------------------
4452
4453 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4454 process have to be set to a fixed value.
4455
4456 This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4457 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4458 option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4459
4460 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4461
4462 Building the Software:
4463 ======================
4464
4465 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4466 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4467 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4468 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4469 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4470 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4471
4472 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4473 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4474 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4475 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4476 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4477
4478 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4479 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
4480
4481 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4482 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4483 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4484 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4485
4486 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4487
4488 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4489 be executed on computers running Windows.
4490
4491 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4492 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4493 is done by typing:
4494
4495 make NAME_defconfig
4496
4497 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4498 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4499
4500 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4501 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4502 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4503 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4504 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4505
4506 make TQM823L_defconfig
4507 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4508
4509 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4510 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4511
4512 etc.
4513
4514
4515 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4516 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4517
4518 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4519 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4520 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4521
4522 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4523 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4524 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4525
4526 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4527
4528 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4529 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4530 make O=/tmp/build all
4531
4532 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4533
4534 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4535 make distclean
4536 make NAME_defconfig
4537 make all
4538
4539 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4540 variable.
4541
4542
4543 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4544 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4545 native "make".
4546
4547
4548 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4549 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4550 steps:
4551
4552 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4553 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4554 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
4555 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4556 your board.
4557 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4558 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
4559 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
4560 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4561 to be installed on your target system.
4562 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4563 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4564
4565
4566 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4567 ==============================================================
4568
4569 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4570 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4571 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4572 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4573 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4574
4575 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4576 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4577 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4578 just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4579 configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4580 will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4581 for documentation.

4640
4641 For now: just type "help <command>".
4642
4643
4644 Environment Variables:
4645 ======================
4646
4647 U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4648 can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4649
4650 Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4651 "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4652 without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4653 environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4654 working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4655 environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4656
4657 Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4658
4659 List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4660
4661 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4662
4663 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4664
4665 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4666
4667 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4668
4669 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
4670
4671 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4672 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4673 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4674 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4675 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4676 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4677 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4678 bootm_mapsize.
4679
4680 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4681 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4682 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4683 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4684 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4685 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4686 used otherwise.
4687
4688 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4689 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4690 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4691 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4692 environment variable.
4693
4694 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4695 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4696 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4697
4698 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4699 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4700 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4701 load any image using TFTP
4702
4703 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4704 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4705 be automatically started (by internally calling
4706 "bootm")
4707
4708 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4709 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4710 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4711 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4712 data.
4713
4714 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4715 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4716 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4717 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4718 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4719 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4720 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4721 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4722 access it during the boot procedure.
4723
4724 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4725 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4726 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4727 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4728 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4729 must be accessible by the kernel.
4730
4731 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4732 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4733 defined.
4734
4735 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4736 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4737 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4738 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4739 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4740
4741 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4742 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4743 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4744 is usually what you want since it allows for
4745 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4746 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4747 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4748 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4749 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4750 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4751 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4752
4753 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4754 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4755 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4756 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4757 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4758 12 MB as well - this can be done with
4759
4760 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4761
4762 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4763 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4764 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4765 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4766 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4767 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4768 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4769
4770 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4771
4772 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4773 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4774
4775 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4776
4777 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4778
4779 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4780
4781 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4782
4783 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4784
4785 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
4786
4787 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4788 For example you can do the following
4789
4790 => setenv ethact FEC
4791 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4792 => setenv ethact SCC
4793 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4794
4795 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4796 available network interfaces.
4797 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4798
4799 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
4800 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4801 When set to "once" the network operation will
4802 fail when all the available network interfaces
4803 are tried once without success.
4804 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4805 themselves.
4806
4807 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
4808
4809 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
4810 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4811 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4812 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4813 is silent.
4814
4815 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
4816 UDP source port.
4817
4818 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4819 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4820
4821 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4822 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4823
4824 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4825 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4826 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4827 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4828 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4829 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4830 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4831
4832 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
4833 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
4834 can happen during a single file transfer before that
4835 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
4836 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
4837 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
4838 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
4839
4840 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
4841 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
4842 VLAN tagged frames.
4843
4844 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
4845 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
4846 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
4847 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
4848 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
4849
4850 The following image location variables contain the location of images
4851 used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4852 not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4853 variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4854 server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4855 loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4856 flash or offset in NAND flash.
4857
4858 *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4859 boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
4860 boards use these variables for other purposes.
4861
4862 Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
4863 ----- --------- ----------- --------------
4864 u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
4865 Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
4866 device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
4867 ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
4868
4869 The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4870 updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4871 depending the information provided by your boot server:
4872
4873 bootfile - see above
4874 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4875 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4876 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4877 hostname - Target hostname
4878 ipaddr - see above
4879 netmask - Subnet Mask
4880 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4881 serverip - see above
4882
4883
4884 There are two special Environment Variables:
4885
4886 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4887 as type string and/or serial number
4888 ethaddr - Ethernet address
4889
4890 These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4891 the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4892 once they have been set once.
4893
4894
4895 Further special Environment Variables:
4896
4897 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4898 with the "version" command. This variable is
4899 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
4900
4901
4902 Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4903 only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
4904
4905
4906 Callback functions for environment variables:
4907 ---------------------------------------------
4908
4909 For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4910 when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
4911 be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4912 deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4913 effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4914
4915 The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4916 U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4917
4918 These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4919 static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4920 in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4921 associations. The list must be in the following format:
4922
4923 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4924 list = entry[,list]
4925
4926 If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4927 Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4928
4929 Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4930 with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4931 override any association in the static list. You can define
4932 CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4933 ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4934
4935 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4936 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
4937 the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
4938
4939
4940 Command Line Parsing:
4941 =====================
4942
4943 There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4944 the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
4945
4946 Old, simple command line parser:
4947 --------------------------------
4948
4949 - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4950 - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
4951 - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
4952 - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4953 for example:
4954 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
4955 - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4956 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
4957
4958 Hush shell:
4959 -----------
4960
4961 - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4962 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4963 until...do...done, ...
4964 - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4965 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4966 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4967 command
4968
4969 General rules:
4970 --------------
4971
4972 (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4973 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4974 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4975 executed anyway.
4976
4977 (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
4978 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
4979 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4980 variables are not executed.
4981
4982 Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4983 =======================================
4984
4985 Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
4986 such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4987 "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
4988
4989 Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4990 MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4991 "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
4992
4993 If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4994 in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4995 ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4996 variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
4997
4998 o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4999 environment, the SROM's address is used.
5000
5001 o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5002 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5003 used.
5004
5005 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5006 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5007
5008 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5009 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5010 warning is printed.
5011
5012 o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5013 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5014 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5015
5016 If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5017 will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
5018 may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5019 The naming convention is as follows:
5020 "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5021
5022 Image Formats:
5023 ==============
5024
5025 U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5026 images in two formats:
5027
5028 New uImage format (FIT)
5029 -----------------------
5030
5031 Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5032 to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5033 components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5034 SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5035
5036
5037 Old uImage format
5038 -----------------
5039
5040 Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5041 preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5042 details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5043
5044 * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5045 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5046 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5047 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5048 INTEGRITY).
5049 * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5050 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5051 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5052 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5053 * Load Address
5054 * Entry Point
5055 * Image Name
5056 * Image Timestamp
5057
5058 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5059 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5060 CRC32 checksums.
5061
5062
5063 Linux Support:
5064 ==============
5065
5066 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5067 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5068 U-Boot.
5069
5070 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5071 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5072 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5073 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5074 serves several purposes:
5075
5076 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5077 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5078 Flash memory footprint)
5079
5080 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5081 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5082
5083 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5084 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5085 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5086 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5087 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5088 software is easier now.
5089
5090
5091 Linux HOWTO:
5092 ============
5093
5094 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5095 ---------------------------------------
5096
5097 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5098 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5099 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5100 Linux :-).
5101
5102 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5103
5104 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5105 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5106 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5107 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5108 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5109
5110 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5111 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5112 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5113 doc/driver-model.
5114
5115
5116 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5117 -----------------------------
5118
5119 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5120 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5121
5122
5123 Building a Linux Image:
5124 -----------------------
5125
5126 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5127 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5128 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5129 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5130 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5131 100% compatible format.
5132
5133 Example:
5134
5135 make TQM850L_defconfig
5136 make oldconfig
5137 make dep
5138 make uImage
5139
5140 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5141 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5142 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5143
5144 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5145
5146 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5147
5148 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5149 -R .note -R .comment \
5150 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5151
5152 * compress the binary image:
5153
5154 gzip -9 linux.bin
5155
5156 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5157
5158 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5159 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5160 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5161
5162
5163 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5164 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5165 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5166 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5167 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5168 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5169
5170 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5171 print the header information, or to build new images.
5172
5173 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5174 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5175 checksum verification:
5176
5177 tools/mkimage -l image
5178 -l ==> list image header information
5179
5180 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5181 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5182
5183 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5184 -n name -d data_file image
5185 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5186 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5187 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5188 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5189 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5190 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5191 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5192 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5193
5194 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5195 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5196 kernel version:
5197
5198 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5199 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5200
5201 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5202
5203 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5204 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5205 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5206 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5207 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5208 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5209 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5210 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5211 Load Address: 0x00000000
5212 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5213
5214 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5215
5216 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5217 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5218 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5219 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5220 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5221 Load Address: 0x00000000
5222 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5223
5224 NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5225 speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5226 needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5227 need to be uncompressed:
5228
5229 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5230 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5231 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5232 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5233 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5234 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5235 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5236 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5237 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5238 Load Address: 0x00000000
5239 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5240
5241
5242 Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5243 when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5244
5245 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5246 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5247 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5248 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
5249 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5250 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5251 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5252 Load Address: 0x00000000
5253 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5254
5255 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5256 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5257 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5258 from the image:
5259
5260 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5261 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5262 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5263 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5264
5265
5266 Installing a Linux Image:
5267 -------------------------
5268
5269 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5270 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5271
5272 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5273
5274 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5275 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5276 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5277 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5278 command.
5279
5280 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5281 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5282
5283 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5284
5285 .......... done
5286 Erased 8 sectors
5287
5288 => loads 40100000
5289 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5296 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5297
5298
5299 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5300 this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5301 corruption happened:
5302
5303 => imi 40100000
5304

5314 Boot Linux:
5315 -----------
5316
5317 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5318 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5319 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5320 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5321 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5322
5323
5324 => printenv bootargs
5325 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5326
5327 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5328
5329 => printenv bootargs
5330 bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5348 If you want to boot a Linux kernel with initial RAM disk, you pass

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

5446 More About U-Boot Image Types:
5447 ------------------------------
5448
5449 U-Boot supports the following image types:
5450
5451 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5452 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5453 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5454 the Standalone Program.
5455 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5456 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5457 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5458 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5459 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5460 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5461 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5462 being started.
5463 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5464 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5465 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5466 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5467 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5468 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5469
5470 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5471 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5472 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5473 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5474 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5475 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5476
5477 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5478 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5479 flash memory.
5480
5481 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5482 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5483 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5484 as command interpreter.
5485
5486 Booting the Linux zImage:
5487 -------------------------
5488
5489 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5490 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5491 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5492
5493 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5494 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5495 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5496 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5497
5498
5499 Standalone HOWTO:
5500 =================
5501
5502 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5503 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5504 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5505
5506 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5507
5508 "Hello World" Demo:
5509 -------------------
5510
5511 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5512 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5513 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5514 like that:
5515
5516 => loads
5517 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5518 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
5519 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...

5522 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5523
5524 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5525 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5526 Hello World
5527 argc = 7
5528 argv[0] = "40004"
5529 argv[1] = "Hello"
5530 argv[2] = "World!"
5531 argv[3] = "This"
5532 argv[4] = "is"
5533 argv[5] = "a"
5534 argv[6] = "test."
5535 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5536 Hit any key to exit ...
5537
5538 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5539
5540 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5541 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5542 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5543 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5544 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5545 controlled by the following keys:
5546
5547 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5548 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5549 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5550 q - quit application
5551

5587 Minicom warning:
5588 ================
5589
5590 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5591 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5592 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5593 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5594 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5595 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5596 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5597 for help with kermit.
5598
5599
5600 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5601 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5602
5603 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5604 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
5605 Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
5606
5607
5608 NetBSD Notes:
5609 =============
5610
5611 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5612 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5613
5614 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5615 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5616 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5617 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5618 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5619 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5620
5621 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5622 # mkdir powerpc
5623 # ln -s powerpc machine
5624 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5625 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5626
5627 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5628 and U-Boot include files.
5629
5630 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5631 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5632 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5633 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5634 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5635
5636
5637 Implementation Internals:
5638 =========================
5639
5640 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5641 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5642 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5643 hardware.
5644
5645
5646 Initial Stack, Global Data:
5647 ---------------------------
5648
5649 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5650 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5651 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5652 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5653 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5654 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5655 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5656 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5657 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5658 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5659
5660 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5661 U-Boot mailing list:

5667
5668 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5669 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5670 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5671 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5672 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5673 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5674 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5675 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5676
5677 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5678 is another option for the system designer to use as an
5679 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5680 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5681 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5682 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5683 used.
5684
5685 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5686 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5687 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5688 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5689 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5690 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5691 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5692 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5693 you get the config right.

5697
5698 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5699 code for the initialization procedures:
5700
5701 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5702 to write it.
5703
5704 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
5705 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5706 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5707
5708 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5709 that.
5710
5711 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5712 normal global data to share information between the code. But it
5713 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5714 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5715 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5716 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5717 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5718 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5719 reserve for this purpose.
5720
5721 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5722 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5723 GCC's implementation.
5724
5725 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5726 R1: stack pointer
5727 R2: reserved for system use
5728 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5729 R5-R10: parameter passing
5730 R13: small data area pointer
5731 R30: GOT pointer
5732 R31: frame pointer
5733
5734 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5735 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5736 going back and forth between asm and C)
5737
5738 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5739
5740 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5741 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5742 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5743 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5744 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5745 624 text + 127 data).
5746
5747 On ARM, the following registers are used:
5748
5749 R0: function argument word/integer result
5750 R1-R3: function argument word
5751 R9: platform specific
5752 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
5753 R11: argument (frame) pointer
5754 R12: temporary workspace
5755 R13: stack pointer
5756 R14: link register
5757 R15: program counter
5758
5759 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
5760
5761 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
5762
5763 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5764 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5765
5766 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5767
5768 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5769 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5770
5771 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5772
5773 R0-R1: argument/return
5774 R2-R5: argument
5775 R15: temporary register for assembler
5776 R16: trampoline register
5777 R28: frame pointer (FP)
5778 R29: global pointer (GP)
5779 R30: link register (LP)
5780 R31: stack pointer (SP)
5781 PC: program counter (PC)
5782
5783 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5784
5785 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5786 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5787
5788 Memory Management:
5789 ------------------
5790
5791 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5792 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5793
5794 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5795 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5796 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5797 physical memory banks.
5798
5799 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5800 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5801 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5802 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5803 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5804 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5805 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5806
5807 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5808 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5809
5810 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5811 this:
5812
5813 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5814 :
5815 0x0000 1FFF
5816 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5817 :
5818 :
5819
5820 :
5821 :
5822 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5823 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5824 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5825 :
5826 0x00FD FFFF
5827 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5828 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5829 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5830 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5831
5832
5833 System Initialization:
5834 ----------------------
5835
5836 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5837 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5838 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
5839 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5840 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5841 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5842 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5843 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5844 the caches and the SIU.
5845
5846 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5847 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5848 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5849 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5850 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5851 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5852 banks.
5853
5854 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5855 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5856 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
5857 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5858 contiguous memory starting from 0.
5859
5860 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5861 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5862 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5863 pages, and the final stack is set up.
5864
5865 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5866 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5867 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5868 new address in RAM.

5945 Coding Standards:
5946 -----------------
5947
5948 All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
5949 coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
5950 "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
5951
5952 Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5953 MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5954 reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5955 sources.
5956
5957 Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5958 Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5959 in your code.
5960
5961 Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5962 - remove any trailing white space
5963 - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
5964 - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
5965 - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
5966 - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5967
5968 Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5969 with a request to reformat the changes.
5970
5971
5972 Submitting Patches:
5973 -------------------
5974
5975 Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5976 establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5977 may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
5978
5979 Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
5980
5981 Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5982 see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5983
5984 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5985 it:
5986
5987 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5988 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5989 patch actually fixes something.
5990
5991 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
5992 implementation.
5993
5994 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5995
5996 * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
5997 information and associated file and directory references.
5998
5999 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6000 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6001
6002 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6003 document these in the README file.
6004
6005 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6006 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6007 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6008 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6009 with some other mail clients.
6010
6011 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6012 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6013 GNU diff.
6014
6015 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6016 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6017 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6018 affected files).
6019
6020 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6021 and compressed attachments must not be used.
6022
6023 * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6024 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6025
6026 * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6027 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6028
6029
6030 Notes:
6031
6032 * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
6033 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6034 for any of the boards.
6035
6036 * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6037 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6038 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6039
6040 * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6041 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6042 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6043 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6044 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6045 modification.
6046
6047 * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6048 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6049 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6050 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
