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

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

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

1016 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1017 support you can write:
1018
1019 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1020 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1021
1022 Other Commands:
1023 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1024
1025 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1026 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1027 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1028 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1029 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1030 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1031 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1032 initial stack and some data.
1033
1034
1035 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1036
1037 - Removal of commands
1038 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
1039 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
1040 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
1041 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
1042 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
1043 simple boot procedures.
1044
1045 - Regular expression support:
1046 CONFIG_REGEX
1047 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1048 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1049 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1050 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1051
1052 - Device tree:
1053 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1054 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1055 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1056 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1057 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1058 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1059
1060 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1061 be done using one of the two options below:
1062
1063 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1064 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1065 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1066 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1067 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1068 the global data structure as gd->blob.
1069
1070 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1071 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1072 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1073 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1074
1075 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1076
1077 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1078 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1079 still use the individual files if you need something more
1080 exotic.
1081
1082 - Watchdog:
1083 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1084 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1085 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1086 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1087 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1088 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1089 available, then no further board specific code should
1090 be needed to use it.
1091
1092 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1093 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1094 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1095 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1096
1097 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1098 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1099
1100 - U-Boot Version:
1101 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1102 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1103 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1104 version as printed by the "version" command.
1105 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1106 next reset.
1107
1108 - Real-Time Clock:
1109
1110 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1111 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1112 following options:
1113
1114 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx

1126 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1127 RV3029 RTC.
1128
1129 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1130 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1131
1132 - GPIO Support:
1133 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1134
1135 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1136 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1137 pins supported by a particular chip.
1138
1139 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1140 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1141
1142 - I/O tracing:
1143 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1144 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1145 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1146 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1147 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1148 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1149 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1150 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1151
1152 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1153 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1154 still continue to operate.
1155
1156 iotrace is enabled
1157 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1158 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)

1162 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1163
1164 - Timestamp Support:
1165
1166 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1167 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1168 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1169 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1170
1171 - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1172 Zero or more of the following:

1215 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1216
1217 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1218 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1219 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1220 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1221 devices.
1222 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1223

1304 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA
1305 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1306 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1307 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1308 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1309 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1310 control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1311 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
1312

1420 HW module registers.
1421
1422 - USB Device:
1423 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1424 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1425 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1426 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1427 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1428 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1429 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1430 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1431 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1432 a Linux host by
1433 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1434 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1435 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1436 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1437
1438 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1439 Define this to build a UDC device
1440
1441 CONFIG_USB_TTY
1442 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1443 talk to the UDC device
1444
1445 CONFIG_USBD_HS
1446 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1447 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1448 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1449 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1450 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1451 speed.
1452
1453 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1454 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1455 be set to usbtty.
1456
1457 mpc8xx:
1458 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1459 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1460 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1461
1462 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1463 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1464 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1465 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1466 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1467 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1468
1469 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1470 Define this string as the name of your company for
1471 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"

1479 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1480 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1481 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1482
1483 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1484 Define this as the unique Product ID
1485 for your device
1486 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1487
1488 - ULPI Layer Support:
1489 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1490 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1491 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1492 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1493 viewport is supported.
1494 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1495 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1496 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1497 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1498 the appropriate value in Hz.
1499
1500 - MMC Support:
1501 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1502 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1503 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1504 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1505 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1506 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.

1528 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1529 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1530
1531 CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1532 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1533 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1534 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1535 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1536
1537 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1538 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1539
1540 CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1541 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1542
1543 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1544 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1545 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1546 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1547 one that would help mostly the developer.
1548
1549 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1550 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1551 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1552 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1553 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1554
1555 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1556 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1557 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1558 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1559 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1560 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1561
1562 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1563 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1564 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1565 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1566
1567 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1568 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1569 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1570 sending again an USB request to the device.
1571
1572 - USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1573 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1574 This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1575
1576 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1577 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1578 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1579 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1580 used on Android devices.
1581 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1582
1583 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1584 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1585 image format header.
1586
1587 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1588 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1589 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1590 downloaded images.
1591
1592 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1593 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1594 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1595 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1596
1597 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1598 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1599 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1600 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1601
1602 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1603 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1604 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1605 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1606
1607 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1608 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1609 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1610 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1611 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1612 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1613 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1614 The default is "gpt" if undefined.
1615
1616 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1617 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1618 image to DOS MBR.
1619 This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1620 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1621 If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.

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

2308 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2309 Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use.
2310
2311 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2312 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2313 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2314 omit this define.
2315
2316 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2317 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2318 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2319 define.
2320
2321 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2322 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2323 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2324 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2325 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2326
2327 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2328 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2329 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \

2335 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2336 }

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

3193
3194 - legacy image format:
3195 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3196 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3197
3198 Default:
3199 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3200
3201 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3202 disable the legacy image format
3203
3204 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3205 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3206
3207 - FIT image support:
3208 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3209 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3210 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3211 with this option.
3212
3213 TODO(sjg@chromium.org): Adjust this option to be positive,
3214 and move it to Kconfig
3215
3216 - Standalone program support:
3217 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3218
3219 This option defines a board specific value for the
3220 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3221 overwriting the architecture dependent default
3222 settings.
3223
3224 - Frame Buffer Address:
3225 CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3226
3227 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3228 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3229 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3230 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3231 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3232 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3233 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3234 configured panel size.
3235
3236 Please see board_init_f function.
3237
3238 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3239 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3240 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3241 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3242
3243 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3244 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3245
3246 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3247 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3248
3249 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3250 Needed for mtdparts command support.
3251
3252 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3253
3254 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3255 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3256
3257 - UBI support
3258 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3259
3260 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3261 with the UBI flash translation layer
3262
3263 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3264
3265 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3266
3267 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3268 warnings and errors enabled.
3269
3270
3271 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3272 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3273 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3274 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3275 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3276 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3277
3278 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3279 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3280 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3281 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3282 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3283
3284 default: 4096
3285
3286 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3287 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3288 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3289 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3290 flash), this value is ignored.
3291
3292 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3293 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3294 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3295 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3296 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3297 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3298
3299 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3300 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3301 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3302 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3303 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3304 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3305 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3306 partition.
3307
3308 default: 20
3309
3310 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3311 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3312 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3313 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3314 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3315 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3316 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3317 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3318 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3319 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3320 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3321 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3322
3323 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3324 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3325 without a fastmap.
3326 default: 0
3327
3328 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3329 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3330 default: 0
3331
3332 - UBIFS support
3333 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3334
3335 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3336 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3337
3338 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3339
3340 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3341
3342 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3343 warnings and errors enabled.
3344
3345 - SPL framework
3346 CONFIG_SPL
3347 Enable building of SPL globally.
3348
3349 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3350 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3351
3352 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3353 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3354 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3355 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3356 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3357 must not be both defined at the same time.
3358
3359 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3360 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3361 linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3362 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3363 not exceed it.
3364
3365 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3366 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3367
3368 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3369 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
3370 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3371
3372 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3373 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3374
3375 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3376 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3377 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3378 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3379 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3380 must not be both defined at the same time.
3381
3382 CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3383 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3384
3385 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3386 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3387 loaded does not have a signature.
3388 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3389 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3390 will be caught.
3391 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3392 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3393 and thus should be skipped silently.
3394
3395 CONFIG_SPL_ABORT_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3396 When defined, SPL will proceed to another boot method
3397 if the image it has loaded does not have a signature.
3398
3399 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3400 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3401 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
3402 CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3403
3404 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3405 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3406 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3407 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3408 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3409
3410 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3411 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3412
3413 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3414 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework
3415 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3416 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3417
3418 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3419 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3420 See also: doc/README.falcon
3421
3422 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3423 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3424 about the running system.
3425
3426 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
3427 Arch init code should be built for a very small image
3428
3429 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR,

3436 used in raw mode
3437
3438 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3439 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3440 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3441

3443 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
3444 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
3445 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
3446 (for falcon mode)
3447
3448 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
3449 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3450 used in fs mode
3451
3452 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
3453 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
3454
3455 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
3456 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
3457 from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3458
3459 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
3460 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
3461 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3462
3463 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3464 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3465 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3466 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3467 loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3468
3469 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3470 Avoid SPL relocation
3471
3472 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3473 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires
3474 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
3475
3476 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
3477 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.
3478
3479 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
3480 Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3481
3482 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE
3483 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that
3484 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3485
3486 CONFIG_SPL_UBI
3487 Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
3488 loader
3489
3490 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3491 Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3492 if you need to save space.
3493
3494 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3495 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3496 SPL binary.
3497
3498 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3499 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3500 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3501 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3502 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3503 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3504 to read U-Boot
3505
3506 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3507 Add support NAND boot
3508
3509 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3510 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3511
3512 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3513 Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3514
3515 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3516 Size of image to load
3517
3518 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3519 Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3520
3521 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3522 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3523 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3524
3525 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3526 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3527 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3528
3529 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3530 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3531
3532 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3533 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3534 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3535 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3536 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3537 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3538
3539 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3540 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3541 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3542 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3543
3544 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3545 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3546 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3547 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3548 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3549
3550 - TPL framework
3551 CONFIG_TPL
3552 Enable building of TPL globally.
3553
3554 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3555 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3556 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3557 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3558 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3559 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3560
3561 - Interrupt support (PPC):
3562
3563 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3564 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3565 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3566 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3567 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3568 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3569 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3570 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3571 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3572 general timer_interrupt().
3573
3574
3575 Board initialization settings:
3576 ------------------------------
3577
3578 During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3579 to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3580 before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3581 following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3582 architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3583 typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3584
3585 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3586 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3587 - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3588 - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3589
3590 Configuration Settings:
3591 -----------------------
3592
3593 - CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3594 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3595
3596 - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3597 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3598
3599 - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3600 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3601
3602 - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3603 prompt for user input.
3604
3605 - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
3606
3607 - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
3608
3609 - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3610
3611 - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3612 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3613 booted
3614
3615 - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3616 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3617
3618 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3619 Suppress display of console information at boot.
3620
3621 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3622 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3623
3624 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3625 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3626
3627 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3628 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3629 simple memory test.
3630
3631 - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3632 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3633
3634 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3635 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3636 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3637
3638 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3639 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
3640 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3641 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3642 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3643 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3644 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3645 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3646
3647 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3648 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3649 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3650 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3651 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3652 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3653 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3654 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3655 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3656 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3657
3658 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3659 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3660 be touched.
3661
3662 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3663 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3664 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3665 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3666 problems.
3667
3668 - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3669 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3670
3671 - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3672 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3673
3674 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3675 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3676
3677 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3678 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3679 make config files to be same as the text base address
3680 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3681 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3682
3683 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3684 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3685 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3686 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3687 flash sector.
3688
3689 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3690 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3691
3692 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3693 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3694 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3695 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3696 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3697 space.
3698
3699 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3700 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3701 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3702 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3703 U-Boot relocates itself.
3704
3705 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3706 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3707 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3708 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3709
3710 - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3711 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3712 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3713 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3714 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3715 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3716 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3717 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3718 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3719 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3720 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3721 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3722 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3723 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3724 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3725 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3726
3727 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3728
3729 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3730 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3731 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3732 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3733 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3734
3735 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3736 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3737 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3738 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3739 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3740 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3741 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3742 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
3743 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3744 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3745 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3746
3747 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3748 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3749 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3750 is enabled.
3751
3752 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3753 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3754 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3755
3756 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3757 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3758 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3759
3760 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3761 Max number of Flash memory banks
3762
3763 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3764 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3765
3766 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3767 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3768
3769 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3770 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3771
3772 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3773 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3774
3775 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3776 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3777
3778 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3779 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3780 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3781
3782 - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3783
3784 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3785 without this option such a download has to be
3786 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3787 copy from RAM to flash.
3788
3789 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3790 you can check if the download worked before you erase
3791 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3792 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3793 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3794
3795 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3796 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3797 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3798
3799 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3800 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3801 in the drivers directory
3802
3803 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3804 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3805 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3806 to the MTD layer.
3807
3808 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3809 Use buffered writes to flash.
3810
3811 - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3812 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3813 write commands.
3814
3815 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3816 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3817 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3818 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3819 optionally available.
3820
3821 - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3822 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3823 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3824 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3825
3826 - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3827 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3828 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3829 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3830 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3831 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3832 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3833 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3834
3835 - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3836 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3837 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3838 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3839 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3840 on high Ethernet traffic.
3841 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3842
3843 - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3844
3845 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3846 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3847 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3848 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3849 lib/hashtable.c for details.
3850
3851 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3852 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3853 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3854 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3855 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3856 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3857
3858 The format of the list is:
3859 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3860 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
3861 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
3862 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3863 list = entry[,list]
3864
3865 The type attributes are:
3866 s - String (default)
3867 d - Decimal
3868 x - Hexadecimal
3869 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3870 i - IP address
3871 m - MAC address
3872
3873 The access attributes are:
3874 a - Any (default)
3875 r - Read-only
3876 o - Write-once
3877 c - Change-default
3878
3879 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3880 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3881 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3882
3883 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3884 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3885 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3886 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3887 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3888 ".flags" variable.
3889
3890 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3891 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3892 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3893
3894 - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3895 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3896 access flags.
3897
3898 - CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3899 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3900 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3901 the value can be calculated on a given board.
3902
3903 - CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3904 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3905 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3906 building U-Boot to enable this.
3907
3908 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3909 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3910 following configurations:
3911
3912 - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3913
3914 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3915 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3916
3917 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3918
3919 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3920
3921 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3922 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3923 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3924 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3925 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3926 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3927 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3928 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3929 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3930 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3931 between U-Boot and the environment.
3932
3933 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3934
3935 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3936 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3937 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3938 for this sector is given here.
3939
3940 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3941
3942 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3943
3944 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3945 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3946 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3947
3948 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3949
3950 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3951
3952
3953 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3954 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3955 the environment.
3956
3957 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3958
3959 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3960 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3961 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3962 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3963
3964 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3965 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3966 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3967 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3968 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3969 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3970 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3971 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3972 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3973
3974 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3975 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
3976
3977 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
3978 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3979 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
3980 a "saveenv" operation.
3981
3982 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3983 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3984 accordingly!
3985
3986
3987 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
3988
3989 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3990 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3991 environment.
3992
3993 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3994 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3995
3996 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
3997 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3998 can just be read and written to, without any special
3999 provision.
4000
4001 BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4002 in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4003 console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4004 U-Boot will hang.
4005
4006 Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4007 environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4008 keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4009 to save the current settings.
4010
4011
4012 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4013
4014 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4015 device and a driver for it.
4016
4017 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4018 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4019
4020 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4021 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4022
4023 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4024 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4025 The default address is zero.
4026
4027 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4028 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4029
4030 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4031 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4032 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4033 would require six bits.
4034
4035 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4036 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4037 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
4038
4039 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4040 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4041 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4042
4043 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4044 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4045 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4046 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4047 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4048 byte chips.
4049
4050 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4051 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4052 in the chip address.
4053
4054 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4055 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4056
4057 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4058 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4059 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4060
4061 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4062 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4063 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4064 EEPROM. For example:
4065
4066 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
4067
4068 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4069 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4070
4071 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4072
4073 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4074 want to use for the environment.
4075
4076 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4077 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4078 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4079
4080 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4081 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4082 at the specified address.
4083
4084 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4085
4086 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4087 want to use for the environment.
4088
4089 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4090 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4091
4092 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4093 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4094 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4095
4096 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4097
4098 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4099
4100 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4101
4102 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4103 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4104 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4105 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
4106 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4107
4108 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4109 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4110
4111 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4112
4113 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4114
4115 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4116
4117 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4118
4119 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4120
4121 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4122
4123 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4124 want to use for the local device's environment.
4125
4126 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4127 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4128
4129 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4130 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4131 local device can get the environment from remote memory
4132 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4133
4134 BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4135 "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4136 environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4137 but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4138
4139 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4140
4141 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4142 for the environment.
4143
4144 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4145 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4146
4147 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4148 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4149 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4150
4151 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4152
4153 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4154 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4155 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4156 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
4157 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4158
4159 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4160
4161 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4162 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4163 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4164 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4165 the range to be avoided.
4166
4167 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4168
4169 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4170 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4171 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4172 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4173 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4174
4175 - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4176
4177 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4178 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4179 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4180
4181 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4182
4183 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4184 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4185 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4186
4187 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4188
4189 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4190
4191 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4192
4193 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4194 environment in.
4195
4196 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4197
4198 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4199 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4200 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4201
4202 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4203 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4204
4205 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4206 when storing the env in UBI.
4207
4208 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4209 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4210
4211 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4212
4213 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4214
4215 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4216
4217 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4218 be as following:
4219
4220 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4221 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4222 partition table.
4223 - "D:0": device D.
4224 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4225 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4226 table.
4227 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4228 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4229 partition table then means device D.
4230
4231 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4232
4233 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4234 environment.
4235
4236 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4237 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4238
4239 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4240
4241 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4242 environment.
4243
4244 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4245
4246 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4247
4248 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4249
4250 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4251 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4252 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4253
4254 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4255 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4256
4257 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4258 area within the specified MMC device.
4259
4260 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4261 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4262 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4263 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4264 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4265 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4266 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4267
4268 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4269 MMC sector boundary.
4270
4271 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4272
4273 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4274 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4275 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4276 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4277
4278 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4279 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4280
4281 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4282 an MMC sector boundary.
4283
4284 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4285
4286 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4287 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4288 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4289
4290 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4291
4292 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4293 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4294 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4295 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4296 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4297 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4298 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4299
4300 Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4301 has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4302 created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4303 until then to read environment variables.
4304
4305 The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4306 is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4307 with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4308 necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4309 "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4310 have any device yet where we could complain.]
4311
4312 Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4313 the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4314 use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4315
4316 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4317 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4318
4319 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4320 also needs to be defined.
4321
4322 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4323 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4324
4325 - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4326 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4327 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4328 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4329 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4330 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4331
4332 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4333 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4334 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4335 to do this.
4336
4337 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4338 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4339 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4340 present.
4341
4342 - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4343 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4344 build system checks that the actual size does not
4345 exceed it.
4346
4347 Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4348 ---------------------------------------------------
4349
4350 - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4351 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4352
4353 - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4354 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4355
4356 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4357 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4358 the IMMR register after a reset.
4359
4360 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4361 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4362 PowerPC SOCs.
4363
4364 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4365 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4366 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4367
4368 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4369 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4370
4371 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4372 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4373 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
4374 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
4375 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4376 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4377 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4378
4379 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4380 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4381
4382 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4383 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4384 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
4385 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4386 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4387
4388 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4389 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4390 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4391 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4392
4393 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4394 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4395 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4396
4397 - Floppy Disk Support:
4398 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4399
4400 the default drive number (default value 0)
4401
4402 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4403
4404 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4405 (default value 1)
4406
4407 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4408
4409 defines the offset of register from address. It
4410 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4411 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4412
4413 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4414 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4415 default value.
4416
4417 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4418 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4419 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4420 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4421 initializations.
4422
4423 - CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4424 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4425 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4426 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4427 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4428 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4429 is required.
4430
4431 - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4432 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4433 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4434
4435 - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4436
4437 Start address of memory area that can be used for
4438 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4439 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4440 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4441 will become available only after programming the
4442 memory controller and running certain initialization
4443 sequences.
4444
4445 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4446 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4447 - MPC824X: data cache
4448 - PPC4xx: data cache
4449
4450 - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4451
4452 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4453 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4454 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4455 data is located at the end of the available space
4456 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4457 GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4458 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4459 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4460
4461 Note:
4462 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4463 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4464 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4465 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4466 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
4467

4511
4512 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4513 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4514 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
4515
4516 - CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4517 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4518 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4519 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp.

4528 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE,
4529 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only)
4530 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4531
4532 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4533 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4534 required.
4535
4536 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4537 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4538 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4539 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4540 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4541 by coreboot or similar.
4542
4543 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4544 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4545

4565 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4566
4567 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4568 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4569 a 16 bit bus.
4570 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4571 Example of drivers that use it:
4572 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4573 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4574
4575 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4576 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4577 a default value will be used.
4578
4579 - CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM

4581 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4582
4583 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4584 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4585
4586 - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4587 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4588 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4589 to something your driver can deal with.
4590
4591 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4592 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4593 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4594 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4595 header files or board specific files.
4596
4597 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4598 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.

4601 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4602
4603 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4604 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4605
4606 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4607 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4608 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4609
4610 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4611 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4612
4613 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4614 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4615 to the given FEC; i. e.
4616 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4617 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4618
4619 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4620
4621 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4622 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4623 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4624
4625 - CONFIG_RMII
4626 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4627 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4628 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4629
4630 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4631 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4632 The syntax is:
4633
4634 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4635
4636 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4637 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4638 area should have.
4639
4640 - CONFIG_LOOPW
4641 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4642 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4643
4644 - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4645 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4646 "md/mw" commands.
4647 Examples:
4648
4649 => mdc.b 10 4 500
4650 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4651
4652 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4653 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4654
4655 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4656 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4657
4658 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4659 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4660 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4661 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4662 relocate itself into RAM.
4663
4664 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4665 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4666 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4667 these initializations itself.
4668
4669 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4670 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4671 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4672 instruction cache) is still performed.
4673
4674 - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4675 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4676 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4677 compiling a NAND SPL.
4678
4679 - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4680 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4681 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4682 It is loaded by the SPL.
4683
4684 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4685 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4686 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4687 previous 4k of the .text section.
4688
4689 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4690 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4691 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4692 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4693 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4694 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4695 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4696 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4697
4698 - CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4699 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4700 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4701 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4702 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4703
4704 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4705 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4706 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4707
4708 - CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4709 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4710
4711 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4712
4713 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4714 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4715
4716 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4717 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4718 driver that uses this:
4719 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4720
4721 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4722 -----------------------------------
4723
4724 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4725 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4726 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4727 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4728 within that device.
4729
4730 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4731 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4732 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4733 is also specified.
4734
4735 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4736 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4737 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4738 is also specified.
4739
4740 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4741 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4742 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4743 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4744 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4745
4746 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4747 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4748 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4749 virtual address in NOR flash.
4750
4751 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4752 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4753 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4754
4755 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4756 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4757 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4758
4759 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4760 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4761 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4762 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4763 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4764 master's memory space.
4765
4766 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4767 ---------------------------------------------------------
4768 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4769 "firmware".
4770 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4771 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4772 within that device.
4773
4774 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4775 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4776
4777 Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4778 -------------------------------------------
4779 The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4780 "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4781 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4782
4783 - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4784 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4785
4786 Reproducible builds
4787 -------------------
4788
4789 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4790 process have to be set to a fixed value.
4791
4792 This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4793 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4794 option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4795
4796 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4797
4798 Building the Software:
4799 ======================
4800
4801 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4802 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4803 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4804 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4805 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4806 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4807
4808 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4809 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4810 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4811 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4812 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4813
4814 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4815 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
4816
4817 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4818 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4819 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4820 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4821
4822 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4823
4824 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4825 be executed on computers running Windows.
4826
4827 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4828 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4829 is done by typing:
4830
4831 make NAME_defconfig
4832
4833 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4834 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4835
4836 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4837 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4838 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4839 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4840 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4841
4842 make TQM823L_defconfig
4843 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4844
4845 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4846 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4847
4848 etc.
4849
4850
4851 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4852 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4853
4854 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4855 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4856 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4857
4858 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4859 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4860 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4861
4862 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4863
4864 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4865 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4866 make O=/tmp/build all
4867
4868 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4869
4870 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4871 make distclean
4872 make NAME_defconfig
4873 make all
4874
4875 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4876 variable.
4877
4878
4879 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4880 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4881 native "make".
4882
4883
4884 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4885 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4886 steps:
4887
4888 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4889 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4890 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
4891 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4892 your board.
4893 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4894 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
4895 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
4896 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4897 to be installed on your target system.
4898 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4899 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4900
4901
4902 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4903 ==============================================================
4904
4905 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4906 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4907 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4908 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4909 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4910
4911 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4912 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4913 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4914 just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4915 configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4916 will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4917 for documentation.

4972 Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
4973 ========================================
4974
4975 TODO.
4976
4977 For now: just type "help <command>".
4978
4979
4980 Environment Variables:
4981 ======================
4982
4983 U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4984 can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4985
4986 Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4987 "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4988 without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4989 environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4990 working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4991 environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4992
4993 Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4994
4995 List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4996
4997 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4998
4999 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5000
5001 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5002
5003 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5004
5005 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
5006
5007 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5008 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5009 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5010 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5011 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5012 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5013 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5014 bootm_mapsize.
5015
5016 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5017 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5018 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5019 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5020 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5021 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5022 used otherwise.
5023
5024 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5025 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5026 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5027 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5028 environment variable.
5029
5030 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5031 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5032 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5033
5034 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5035 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5036 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5037 load any image using TFTP
5038
5039 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5040 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5041 be automatically started (by internally calling
5042 "bootm")
5043
5044 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5045 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5046 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5047 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5048 data.
5049
5050 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5051 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5052 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5053 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5054 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5055 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5056 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5057 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5058 access it during the boot procedure.
5059
5060 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5061 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5062 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5063 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5064 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5065 must be accessible by the kernel.
5066
5067 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5068 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5069 defined.
5070
5071 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5072 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5073 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5074 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5075 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5076
5077 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5078 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5079 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5080 is usually what you want since it allows for
5081 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5082 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5083 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5084 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5085 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5086 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5087 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5088
5089 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5090 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5091 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5092 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5093 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5094 12 MB as well - this can be done with
5095
5096 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5097
5098 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5099 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5100 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5101 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5102 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5103 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5104 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5105
5106 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5107
5108 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5109 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5110
5111 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5112
5113 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5114
5115 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5116
5117 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5118
5119 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5120
5121 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
5122
5123 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5124 For example you can do the following
5125
5126 => setenv ethact FEC
5127 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5128 => setenv ethact SCC
5129 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5130
5131 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5132 available network interfaces.
5133 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5134
5135 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
5136 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5137 When set to "once" the network operation will
5138 fail when all the available network interfaces
5139 are tried once without success.
5140 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5141 themselves.
5142
5143 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
5144
5145 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5146 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5147 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5148 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5149 is silent.
5150
5151 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5152 UDP source port.
5153
5154 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5155 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5156
5157 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5158 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5159
5160 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5161 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5162 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5163 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5164 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5165 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5166 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5167
5168 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5169 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5170 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5171 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5172 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5173 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5174 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5175
5176 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5177 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5178 VLAN tagged frames.
5179
5180 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
5181 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
5182 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
5183 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
5184 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
5185
5186 The following image location variables contain the location of images
5187 used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5188 not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5189 variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5190 server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5191 loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5192 flash or offset in NAND flash.
5193
5194 *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5195 boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5196 boards use these variables for other purposes.
5197
5198 Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
5199 ----- --------- ----------- --------------
5200 u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
5201 Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
5202 device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
5203 ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
5204
5205 The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5206 updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5207 depending the information provided by your boot server:
5208
5209 bootfile - see above
5210 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5211 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5212 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5213 hostname - Target hostname
5214 ipaddr - see above
5215 netmask - Subnet Mask
5216 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5217 serverip - see above
5218
5219
5220 There are two special Environment Variables:
5221
5222 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5223 as type string and/or serial number
5224 ethaddr - Ethernet address
5225
5226 These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5227 the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5228 once they have been set once.
5229
5230
5231 Further special Environment Variables:
5232
5233 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5234 with the "version" command. This variable is
5235 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5236
5237
5238 Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5239 only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5240
5241
5242 Callback functions for environment variables:
5243 ---------------------------------------------
5244
5245 For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5246 when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
5247 be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5248 deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5249 effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5250
5251 The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5252 U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5253
5254 These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5255 static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5256 in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5257 associations. The list must be in the following format:
5258
5259 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5260 list = entry[,list]
5261
5262 If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5263 Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5264
5265 Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5266 with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5267 override any association in the static list. You can define
5268 CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5269 ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5270
5271 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5272 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5273 the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5274
5275
5276 Command Line Parsing:
5277 =====================
5278
5279 There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5280 the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5281
5282 Old, simple command line parser:
5283 --------------------------------
5284
5285 - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5286 - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5287 - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5288 - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5289 for example:
5290 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5291 - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5292 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5293
5294 Hush shell:
5295 -----------
5296
5297 - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5298 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5299 until...do...done, ...
5300 - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5301 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5302 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5303 command
5304
5305 General rules:
5306 --------------
5307
5308 (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5309 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5310 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5311 executed anyway.
5312
5313 (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5314 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5315 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5316 variables are not executed.
5317
5318 Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5319 =======================================
5320
5321 Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5322 such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5323 "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5324
5325 Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5326 MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5327 "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5328
5329 If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5330 in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5331 ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5332 variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5333
5334 o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5335 environment, the SROM's address is used.
5336
5337 o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5338 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5339 used.
5340
5341 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5342 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5343
5344 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5345 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5346 warning is printed.
5347
5348 o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5349 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5350 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5351
5352 If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5353 will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
5354 may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5355 The naming convention is as follows:
5356 "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5357
5358 Image Formats:
5359 ==============
5360
5361 U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5362 images in two formats:
5363
5364 New uImage format (FIT)
5365 -----------------------
5366
5367 Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5368 to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5369 components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5370 SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5371
5372
5373 Old uImage format
5374 -----------------
5375
5376 Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5377 preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5378 details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5379
5380 * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5381 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5382 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5383 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5384 INTEGRITY).
5385 * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5386 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5387 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5388 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5389 * Load Address
5390 * Entry Point
5391 * Image Name
5392 * Image Timestamp
5393
5394 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5395 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5396 CRC32 checksums.
5397
5398
5399 Linux Support:
5400 ==============
5401
5402 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5403 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5404 U-Boot.
5405
5406 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5407 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5408 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5409 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5410 serves several purposes:
5411
5412 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5413 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5414 Flash memory footprint)
5415
5416 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5417 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5418
5419 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5420 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5421 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5422 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5423 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5424 software is easier now.
5425
5426
5427 Linux HOWTO:
5428 ============
5429
5430 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5431 ---------------------------------------
5432
5433 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5434 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5435 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5436 Linux :-).
5437
5438 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5439
5440 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5441 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5442 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5443 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5444 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5445
5446 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5447 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5448 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5449 doc/driver-model.
5450
5451
5452 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5453 -----------------------------
5454
5455 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5456 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5457
5458
5459 Building a Linux Image:
5460 -----------------------
5461
5462 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5463 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5464 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5465 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5466 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5467 100% compatible format.
5468
5469 Example:
5470
5471 make TQM850L_defconfig
5472 make oldconfig
5473 make dep
5474 make uImage
5475
5476 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5477 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5478 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5479
5480 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5481
5482 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5483
5484 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5485 -R .note -R .comment \
5486 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5487
5488 * compress the binary image:
5489
5490 gzip -9 linux.bin
5491
5492 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5493
5494 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5495 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5496 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5497
5498
5499 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5500 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5501 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5502 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5503 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5504 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5505
5506 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5507 print the header information, or to build new images.
5508
5509 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5510 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5511 checksum verification:
5512
5513 tools/mkimage -l image
5514 -l ==> list image header information
5515
5516 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5517 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5518
5519 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5520 -n name -d data_file image
5521 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5522 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5523 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5524 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5525 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5526 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5527 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5528 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5529
5530 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5531 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5532 kernel version:
5533
5534 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5535 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5536
5537 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5538
5539 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5540 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5541 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5542 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5543 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5544 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5545 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5546 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5547 Load Address: 0x00000000
5548 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5549
5550 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5551
5552 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5553 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5554 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5555 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5556 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5557 Load Address: 0x00000000
5558 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5559
5560 NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5561 speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5562 needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5563 need to be uncompressed:
5564
5565 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5566 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5567 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5568 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5569 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5570 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5571 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5572 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5573 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5574 Load Address: 0x00000000
5575 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5576
5577
5578 Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5579 when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5580
5581 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5582 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5583 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5584 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
5585 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5586 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5587 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5588 Load Address: 0x00000000
5589 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5590
5591 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5592 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5593 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5594 from the image:
5595
5596 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5597 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5598 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5599 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5600
5601
5602 Installing a Linux Image:
5603 -------------------------
5604
5605 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5606 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5607
5608 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5609
5610 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5611 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5612 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5613 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5614 command.
5615
5616 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5617 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5618
5619 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5620
5621 .......... done
5622 Erased 8 sectors
5623
5624 => loads 40100000
5625 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5626 ~>examples/image.srec
5627 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
5628 ...
5629 15989 15990 15991 15992
5630 [file transfer complete]
5631 [connected]
5632 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5633
5634
5635 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5636 this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5637 corruption happened:
5638
5639 => imi 40100000
5640
5641 ## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
5642 Image Name: 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
5643 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5644 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB
5645 Load Address: 00000000
5646 Entry Point: 0000000c
5647 Verifying Checksum ... OK
5648
5649
5650 Boot Linux:
5651 -----------
5652
5653 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5654 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5655 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5656 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5657 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5658
5659
5660 => printenv bootargs
5661 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5662
5663 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5664
5665 => printenv bootargs
5666 bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5667
5668 => bootm 40020000
5669 ## Booting Linux kernel at 40020000 ...
5670 Image Name: 2.2.13 for NFS on TQM850L

5736 First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
5737 titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
5738 following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
5739 flat device tree:

5782 More About U-Boot Image Types:
5783 ------------------------------
5784
5785 U-Boot supports the following image types:
5786
5787 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5788 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5789 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5790 the Standalone Program.
5791 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5792 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5793 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5794 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5795 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5796 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5797 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5798 being started.
5799 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5800 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5801 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5802 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5803 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5804 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5805
5806 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5807 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5808 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5809 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5810 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5811 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5812
5813 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5814 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5815 flash memory.
5816
5817 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5818 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5819 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5820 as command interpreter.
5821
5822 Booting the Linux zImage:
5823 -------------------------
5824
5825 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5826 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5827 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5828
5829 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5830 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5831 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5832 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5833
5834
5835 Standalone HOWTO:
5836 =================
5837
5838 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5839 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5840 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5841
5842 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5843
5844 "Hello World" Demo:
5845 -------------------
5846
5847 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5848 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5849 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5850 like that:
5851
5852 => loads
5853 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5854 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
5855 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5856 [file transfer complete]
5857 [connected]
5858 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5859
5860 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5861 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5862 Hello World
5863 argc = 7
5864 argv[0] = "40004"
5865 argv[1] = "Hello"
5866 argv[2] = "World!"
5867 argv[3] = "This"
5868 argv[4] = "is"
5869 argv[5] = "a"
5870 argv[6] = "test."
5871 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5872 Hit any key to exit ...
5873
5874 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5875
5876 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5877 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5878 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5879 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5880 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5881 controlled by the following keys:
5882
5883 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5884 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5885 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5886 q - quit application
5887

5923 Minicom warning:
5924 ================
5925
5926 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5927 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5928 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5929 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5930 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5931 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5932 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5933 for help with kermit.
5934
5935
5936 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5937 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5938
5939 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5940 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
5941 Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
5942
5943
5944 NetBSD Notes:
5945 =============
5946
5947 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5948 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5949
5950 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5951 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5952 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5953 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5954 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5955 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5956
5957 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5958 # mkdir powerpc
5959 # ln -s powerpc machine
5960 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5961 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5962
5963 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5964 and U-Boot include files.
5965
5966 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5967 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5968 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5969 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5970 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5971
5972
5973 Implementation Internals:
5974 =========================
5975
5976 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5977 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5978 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5979 hardware.
5980
5981
5982 Initial Stack, Global Data:
5983 ---------------------------
5984
5985 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5986 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5987 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5988 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5989 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5990 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5991 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5992 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5993 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5994 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5995
5996 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5997 U-Boot mailing list:
5998
5999 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6000 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>

6002 ...
6003
6004 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6005 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6006 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6007 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6008 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6009 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6010 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6011 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6012
6013 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6014 is another option for the system designer to use as an
6015 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6016 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6017 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6018 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6019 used.
6020
6021 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6022 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6023 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6024 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6025 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6026 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6027 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6028 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6029 you get the config right.

6033
6034 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6035 code for the initialization procedures:
6036
6037 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6038 to write it.
6039
6040 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6041 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6042 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6043
6044 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6045 that.
6046
6047 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6048 normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6049 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6050 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6051 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6052 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6053 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6054 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6055 reserve for this purpose.
6056
6057 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6058 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6059 GCC's implementation.
6060
6061 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6062 R1: stack pointer
6063 R2: reserved for system use
6064 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6065 R5-R10: parameter passing
6066 R13: small data area pointer
6067 R30: GOT pointer
6068 R31: frame pointer
6069
6070 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6071 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6072 going back and forth between asm and C)
6073
6074 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6075
6076 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6077 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6078 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6079 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6080 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6081 624 text + 127 data).
6082
6083 On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6084 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6085
6086 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6087
6088 On ARM, the following registers are used:
6089
6090 R0: function argument word/integer result
6091 R1-R3: function argument word
6092 R9: platform specific
6093 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6094 R11: argument (frame) pointer
6095 R12: temporary workspace
6096 R13: stack pointer
6097 R14: link register
6098 R15: program counter
6099
6100 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6101
6102 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6103
6104 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6105 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6106
6107 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6108
6109 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6110 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6111
6112 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6113
6114 R0-R1: argument/return
6115 R2-R5: argument
6116 R15: temporary register for assembler
6117 R16: trampoline register
6118 R28: frame pointer (FP)
6119 R29: global pointer (GP)
6120 R30: link register (LP)
6121 R31: stack pointer (SP)
6122 PC: program counter (PC)
6123
6124 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6125
6126 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6127 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6128
6129 Memory Management:
6130 ------------------
6131
6132 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6133 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6134
6135 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6136 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6137 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6138 physical memory banks.
6139
6140 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6141 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6142 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6143 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6144 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6145 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6146 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6147
6148 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6149 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6150
6151 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6152 this:
6153
6154 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6155 :
6156 0x0000 1FFF
6157 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6158 :
6159 :
6160
6161 :
6162 :
6163 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6164 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6165 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6166 :
6167 0x00FD FFFF
6168 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6169 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6170 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6171 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6172
6173
6174 System Initialization:
6175 ----------------------
6176
6177 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6178 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6179 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6180 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6181 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6182 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6183 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6184 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6185 the caches and the SIU.
6186
6187 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6188 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6189 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6190 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6191 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6192 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6193 banks.
6194
6195 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6196 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6197 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
6198 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6199 contiguous memory starting from 0.
6200
6201 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6202 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6203 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6204 pages, and the final stack is set up.
6205
6206 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6207 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6208 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6209 new address in RAM.

6286 Coding Standards:
6287 -----------------
6288
6289 All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6290 coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6291 "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6292
6293 Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6294 MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6295 reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6296 sources.
6297
6298 Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6299 Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6300 in your code.
6301
6302 Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6303 - remove any trailing white space
6304 - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6305 - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6306 - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6307 - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6308
6309 Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6310 with a request to reformat the changes.
6311
6312
6313 Submitting Patches:
6314 -------------------
6315
6316 Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6317 establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6318 may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6319
6320 Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6321
6322 Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6323 see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6324
6325 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6326 it:
6327
6328 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6329 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6330 patch actually fixes something.
6331
6332 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
6333 implementation.
6334
6335 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6336
6337 * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6338 information and associated file and directory references.
6339
6340 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6341 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6342
6343 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6344 document these in the README file.
6345
6346 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6347 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6348 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6349 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6350 with some other mail clients.
6351
6352 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6353 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6354 GNU diff.
6355
6356 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6357 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6358 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6359 affected files).
6360
6361 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6362 and compressed attachments must not be used.
6363
6364 * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6365 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6366
6367 * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6368 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6369
6370
6371 Notes:
6372
6373 * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
6374 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6375 for any of the boards.
6376
6377 * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6378 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6379 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6380
6381 * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6382 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6383 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6384 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6385 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6386 modification.
6387
6388 * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6389 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6390 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6391 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
