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

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

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

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

1332
1333 - USB Device:
1334 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1335 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1336 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1337 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1338 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1339 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1340 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1341 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1342 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1343 a Linux host by
1344 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1345 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1346 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1347 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1348
1349 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1350 Define this to build a UDC device
1351
1352 CONFIG_USB_TTY
1353 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1354 talk to the UDC device
1355
1356 CONFIG_USBD_HS
1357 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1358 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1359 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1360 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1361 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1362 speed.
1363
1364 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1365 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1366 be set to usbtty.
1367
1368 mpc8xx:
1369 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1370 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1371 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1372
1373 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1374 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1375 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1376 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1377 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1378 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1379
1380 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1381 Define this string as the name of your company for
1382 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1383
1384 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1385 Define this string as the name of your product
1386 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1387
1388 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1389 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1390 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1391 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1392 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1393
1394 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1395 Define this as the unique Product ID
1396 for your device
1397 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1398
1399 - ULPI Layer Support:
1400 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1401 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1402 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1403 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1404 viewport is supported.
1405 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1406 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1407 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1408 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1409 the appropriate value in Hz.
1410
1411 - MMC Support:
1412 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1413 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1414 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1415 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1416 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1417 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.

1430
1431 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1432 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1433 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1434
1435 - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1436 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1437 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1438
1439 CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1440 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1441 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1442 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1443 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1444
1445 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1446 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1447
1448 CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1449 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1450
1451 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1452 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1453 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1454 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1455 one that would help mostly the developer.
1456
1457 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1458 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1459 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1460 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1461 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1462
1463 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1464 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1465 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1466 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1467 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1468 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1469
1470 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1471 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1472 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1473 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1474
1475 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1476 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1477 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1478 sending again an USB request to the device.
1479
1480 - USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1481 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1482 This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1483
1484 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1485 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1486 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1487 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1488 used on Android devices.
1489 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1490

1497 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1498 downloaded images.
1499
1500 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1501 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1502 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1503 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1504
1505 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1506 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1507 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1508 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1509
1510 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1511 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1512 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1513 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1514
1515 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1516 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1517 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1518 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1519 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1520 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1521 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1522 The default is "gpt" if undefined.
1523
1524 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1525 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1526 image to DOS MBR.
1527 This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1528 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1529 If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.
1530
1531 - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1532 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND
1533 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1534
1535 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1536 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1537 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1538
1539 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1540 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1541
1542 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1543 file in FAT formatted partition.
1544
1545 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1546 user to write files to FAT.
1547
1548 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1549 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1550
1551 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1552 a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1553
1554 - Keyboard Support:
1555 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1556
1557 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1558
1559 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1560 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1561 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1562 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1563 instead.
1564
1565 - Video support:
1566 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1567 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1568 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1569 support, and should also define these other macros:
1570
1571 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1572 CONFIG_VIDEO
1573 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1574 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1575 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1576 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1577 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1578
1579 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1580 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1581 boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
1582 description of this variable.
1583
1584 - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1585
1586 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1587 display); also select one of the supported displays
1588 by defining one of these:
1589
1590 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:

1603 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1604
1605 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1606 Active, color, single scan.
1607
1608 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1609
1610 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.

1632
1633 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1634
1635 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1636 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1637 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1638 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1639 a per-section basis.
1640
1641
1642 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1643
1644 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1645 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1646 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1647 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1648 printed out.
1649 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1650 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1651 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1652 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1653 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1654 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1655 1 = 90 degree rotation
1656 2 = 180 degree rotation
1657 3 = 270 degree rotation
1658
1659 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1660 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1661
1662 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1663
1664 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1665
1666 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1667
1668 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1669 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1670
1671 - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1672
1673 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1674 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1675 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1676 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1677 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1678 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1679 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1680 loaded very quickly after power-on.
1681
1682 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1683
1684 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1685 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1686 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
1687 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1688 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1689 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1690 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1691 there is no need to set this option.
1692
1693 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1694
1695 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1696 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1697 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1698 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1699 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1700 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1701
1702 Example:
1703 setenv splashpos m,m
1704 => image at center of screen
1705
1706 setenv splashpos 30,20
1707 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1708
1709 setenv splashpos -10,m
1710 => vertically centered image
1711 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1712
1713 - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1714
1715 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1716 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1717 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1718
1719 - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1720
1721 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1722 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1723 bmp command.
1724
1725 - Compression support:
1726 CONFIG_GZIP
1727
1728 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1729
1730 CONFIG_BZIP2
1731
1732 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1733 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1734 compressed images are supported.
1735
1736 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1737 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1738 be at least 4MB.
1739
1740 CONFIG_LZMA
1741
1742 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1743 images is included.
1744
1745 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1746 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1747 formula:
1748
1749 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1750
1751 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1752 and Literal pos bits.
1753
1754 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1755 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1756 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1757 a very small buffer.
1758
1759 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1760 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1761 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1762
1763 CONFIG_LZO
1764
1765 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1766 is included.
1767
1768 - MII/PHY support:
1769 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1770
1771 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1772
1773 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1774
1775 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1776
1777 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1778
1779 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1780 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1781
1782 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1783
1784 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1785 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1786 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1787 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1788
1789 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1790
1791 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1792 command issued before MII status register can be read
1793
1794 - IP address:
1795 CONFIG_IPADDR
1796
1797 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1798 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1799 determined through e.g. bootp.
1800 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
1801
1802 - Server IP address:
1803 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1804
1805 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1806 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1807 (Environment variable "serverip")
1808
1809 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1810
1811 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1812 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1813
1814 - Gateway IP address:
1815 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1816
1817 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1818 default router where packets to other networks are
1819 sent to.
1820 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1821
1822 - Subnet mask:
1823 CONFIG_NETMASK
1824
1825 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1826 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1827 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1828 forwarded through a router.
1829 (Environment variable "netmask")
1830
1831 - Multicast TFTP Mode:
1832 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1833
1834 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1835 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
1836 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
1837 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1838 multicast group.
1839
1840 - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1841 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1842
1843 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1844 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1845 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1846 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1847 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1848 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1849 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1850 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1851 following delays are inserted then:
1852
1853 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1854 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1855 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1856 4th and following
1857 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1858
1859 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1860
1861 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1862 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1863 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1864 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1865 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1866 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1867 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1868 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1869 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1870 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1871 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1872 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1873 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1874 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1875 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1876
1877 - DHCP Advanced Options:
1878 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1879 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1880
1881 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1882 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1883 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1884 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1885 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1886 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1887 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1888 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1889 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1890 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1891 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1892 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1893 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1894
1895 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1896 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1897
1898 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1899 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1900 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1901 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1902 is not available.
1903
1904 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1905 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1906 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1907 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1908 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1909 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1910 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1911 is defined.
1912
1913 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1914 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1915 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1916 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1917 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1918 option 12 to the DHCP server.
1919
1920 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1921
1922 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1923 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1924 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1925 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1926 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1927 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1928 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1929 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1930 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1931 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1932 this delay.
1933
1934 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1935 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1936 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1937 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1938 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1939
1940 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1941
1942 - CDP Options:
1943 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1944
1945 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1946
1947 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1948
1949 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1950 of the device.
1951
1952 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1953
1954 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1955 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1956 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1957
1958 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1959
1960 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1961 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1962
1963 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1964
1965 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1966
1967 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1968
1969 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1970
1971 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1972
1973 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1974
1975 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1976
1977 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1978 device in .1 of milliwatts.
1979
1980 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1981
1982 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1983
1984 - Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
1985
1986 Several configurations allow to display the current
1987 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1988 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1989 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1990 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1991 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1992 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
1993 feature in U-Boot.
1994
1995 Additional options:
1996
1997 CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1998 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
1999 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2000 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
2001 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2002
2003 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2004 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2005 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2006 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2007 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2008 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2009
2010 - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2011
2012 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2013 on those systems that support this (optional)
2014 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2015
2016 - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2017
2018 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2019 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2020 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2021 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2022 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2023 interface.

2157 additional defines:
2158
2159 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2160 Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use.
2161
2162 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2163 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2164 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2165 omit this define.
2166
2167 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2168 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2169 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2170 define.
2171
2172 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2173 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2174 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2175 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2176 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2177
2178 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2179 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2180 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2181 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2182 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \

2186 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2187 }
2188
2189 which defines
2190 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux

2200 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2201
2202 - Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2203
2204 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2205 provides the following compelling advantages:
2206
2207 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2208 - approved multibus support
2209 - better i2c mux support
2210
2211 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2212
2213 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2214 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2215 for the selected CPU.
2216
2217 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2218 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2219 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2220 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2221 command line interface.
2222
2223 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2224
2225 There are several other quantities that must also be
2226 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2227
2228 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2229 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2230 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2231 the CPU's i2c node address).
2232
2233 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2234 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2235 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2236 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2237 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2238
2239 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2240
2241 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2242 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2243 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2244 commands until the slave device responds.
2245
2246 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2247
2248 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2249 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2250 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2251
2252 I2C_INIT
2253
2254 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2255 controller or configure ports.
2256
2257 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2258
2259 I2C_PORT
2260
2261 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2262 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2263 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2264
2265 I2C_ACTIVE
2266
2267 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2268 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2269 define can be null.
2270
2271 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2272
2273 I2C_TRISTATE
2274
2275 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2276 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2277 define can be null.
2278
2279 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2280
2281 I2C_READ
2282
2283 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2284 false if it is low.
2285
2286 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2287
2288 I2C_SDA(bit)
2289
2290 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2291 is false, it clears it (low).
2292
2293 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2294 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2295 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2296
2297 I2C_SCL(bit)
2298
2299 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2300 is false, it clears it (low).
2301
2302 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2303 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2304 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2305
2306 I2C_DELAY
2307
2308 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2309 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2310 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2311 like:
2312
2313 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2314
2315 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2316
2317 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2318 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2319 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2320 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2321
2322 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2323 the generic GPIO functions.
2324
2325 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2326
2327 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2328 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2329 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2330 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2331 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2332 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2333 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2334 is run early in the boot sequence.
2335
2336 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2337
2338 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2339 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2340 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2341 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2342 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2343 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2344 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2345 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2346
2347 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2348
2349 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2350 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2351 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2352
2353 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2354
2355 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2356 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2357 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2358 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2359
2360 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2361
2362 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2363 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2364 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2365 a 1D array of device addresses
2366
2367 e.g.
2368 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2369 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2370
2371 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2372
2373 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2374 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2375
2376 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2377
2378 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2379
2380 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2381 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2382
2383 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2384
2385 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2386 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2387
2388 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2389
2390 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2391 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2392
2393 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2394
2395 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2396 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2397 specified DTT device.
2398
2399 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2400
2401 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2402 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2403 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2404 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2405 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2406 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2407 the other.
2408
2409 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2410
2411 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2412 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2413 D/As on the SACSng board)
2414
2415 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2416
2417 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2418 only SH7757 is supported.
2419
2420 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2421
2422 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2423 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2424 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2425 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2426 defined, the board configuration must define several
2427 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2428 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2429
2430 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2431
2432 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2433 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2434 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2435 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2436 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2437
2438 CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2439
2440 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2441 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2442
2443 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2444 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2445 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
2446
2447 - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2448
2449 Enables FPGA subsystem.
2450
2451 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2452
2453 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2454 (ALTERA, XILINX)
2455
2456 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2457
2458 Enables support for FPGA family.
2459 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2460
2461 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2462
2463 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2464
2465 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2466
2467 Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2468
2469 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2470
2471 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2472
2473 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2474
2475 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2476 (Xilinx only)
2477
2478 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2479
2480 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2481
2482 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2483
2484 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2485 status by the configuration function. This option
2486 will require a board or device specific function to
2487 be written.
2488
2489 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2490
2491 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2492 configuration driver.
2493
2494 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2495 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2496
2497 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2498
2499 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2500 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2501 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2502 indicated a CRC error).
2503
2504 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2505
2506 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2507 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2508 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2509 ms.
2510
2511 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2512
2513 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2514 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2515
2516 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2517
2518 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2519 200 ms.
2520
2521 - Configuration Management:
2522 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2523
2524 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2525 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2526 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2527 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2528 make / buildman.
2529
2530 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2531
2532 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2533 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2534
2535 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2536
2537 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2538 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2539 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2540 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2541 protects these variables from casual modification by
2542 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2543 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2544 change this behaviour:
2545
2546 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2547 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2548 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2549 these parameters.
2550
2551 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2552 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2553 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2554 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2555 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2556 read-only.]
2557
2558 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2559 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2560 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2561 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2562
2563 - Protected RAM:
2564 CONFIG_PRAM
2565
2566 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2567 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2568 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2569 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2570 this default value by defining an environment
2571 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2572 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2573 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2574 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2575 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2576 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2577 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2578
2579 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2580 saveenv
2581
2582 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2583 either, which results in a memory region that will
2584 not be affected by reboots.
2585
2586 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2587 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2588 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2589 following board configurations are known to be
2590 "pRAM-clean":
2591
2592 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2593 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2594 FLAGADM, TQM8260
2595
2596 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2597 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2598 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2599 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2600 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2601 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2602 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2603
2604 - Error Recovery:
2605 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2606
2607 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2608 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2609 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2610 system where you want the system to reboot
2611 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2612 useful during development since you can try to debug
2613 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2614
2615 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2616
2617 This variable defines the number of retries for
2618 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2619 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2620 default value of 5 is used.
2621
2622 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2623
2624 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2625
2626 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2627
2628 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2629 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2630 try longer timeout such as
2631 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2632
2633 - Command Interpreter:
2634 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2635
2636 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2637
2638 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2639
2640 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2641 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2642 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2643
2644 Note:
2645
2646 In the current implementation, the local variables
2647 space and global environment variables space are
2648 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2649 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2650 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2651 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2652 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2653
2654 Global environment variables are those you use
2655 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2656 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2657 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2658
2659 To store commands and special characters in a
2660 variable, please use double quotation marks
2661 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2662 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2663 symbols.
2664
2665 - Command Line Editing and History:
2666 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2667
2668 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2669 command line input operations
2670
2671 - Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2672 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2673
2674 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2675 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2676 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2677 and PS2.
2678
2679 - Default Environment:
2680 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2681
2682 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2683 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2684 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2685
2686 For example, place something like this in your
2687 board's config file:
2688
2689 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2690 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2691 "myvar2=value2\0"
2692
2693 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2694 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2695 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2696 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2697 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2698 You better know what you are doing here.
2699
2700 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2701 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2702 the environment like the "source" command or the
2703 boot command first.
2704
2705 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2706
2707 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2708 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2709 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2710
2711 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2712
2713 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2714 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2715 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2716 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2717 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2718
2719 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2720
2721 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2722 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2723 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2724
2725 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2726
2727 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2728 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2729 that so that the environment is not available until
2730 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2731 this is instead controlled by the value of
2732 /config/load-environment.
2733
2734 - DataFlash Support:
2735 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2736
2737 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2738 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2739 commands cp, md...
2740
2741 - Serial Flash support
2742 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2743
2744 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2745 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2746
2747 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2748 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2749 commands.
2750
2751 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2752 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2753 flash is present on the system.
2754
2755 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2756 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2757 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2758 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2759
2760 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2761
2762 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2763 test ('sf test').
2764
2765 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2766
2767 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2768 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2769 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
2770
2771 - SystemACE Support:
2772 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2773
2774 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2775 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2776 of the chip must also be defined in the
2777 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2778
2779 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2780 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2781
2782 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2783 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2784
2785 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2786 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2787
2788 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2789 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2790 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2791 number generator is used.
2792
2793 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2794 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2795 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2796
2797 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2798 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2799 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2800 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2801 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2802 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2803 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2804
2805 - Hashing support:
2806 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2807
2808 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2809 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2810
2811 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2812
2813 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2814 size a little.
2815
2816 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
2817 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
2818 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
2819 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
2820 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
2821 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
2822 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
2823 hash_lookup_algo() function.
2824 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
2825 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
2826 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
2827 is performed in hardware.
2828
2829 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2830 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2831
2832 - Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2833 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2834 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2835 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2836
2837 - bootcount support:
2838 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2839
2840 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2841 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2842
2843 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2844 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2845 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2846 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2847 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2848 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2849 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2850 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2851 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2852 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2853 the bootcounter.
2854 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
2855
2856 - Show boot progress:
2857 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2858
2859 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2860 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2861 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2862 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2863 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2864 the following checkpoints are implemented:
2865
2866
2867 Legacy uImage format:

3018 151 common/cmd_nand.c FIT image format OK
3019
3020 - legacy image format:
3021 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3022 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3023
3024 Default:
3025 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3026
3027 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3028 disable the legacy image format
3029
3030 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3031 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3032
3033 - FIT image support:
3034 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3035 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3036 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3037 with this option.
3038
3039 TODO(sjg@chromium.org): Adjust this option to be positive,
3040 and move it to Kconfig
3041
3042 - Standalone program support:
3043 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3044
3045 This option defines a board specific value for the
3046 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3047 overwriting the architecture dependent default
3048 settings.
3049
3050 - Frame Buffer Address:
3051 CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3052
3053 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3054 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3055 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3056 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3057 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3058 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3059 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3060 configured panel size.
3061
3062 Please see board_init_f function.
3063
3064 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3065 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3066 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3067 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3068
3069 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3070 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3071
3072 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3073 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3074
3075 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3076 Needed for mtdparts command support.
3077
3078 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3079
3080 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3081 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3082
3083 - UBI support
3084 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3085
3086 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3087 with the UBI flash translation layer
3088
3089 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3090
3091 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3092
3093 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3094 warnings and errors enabled.
3095
3096
3097 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3098 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3099 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3100 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3101 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3102 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3103
3104 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3105 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3106 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3107 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3108 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3109
3110 default: 4096
3111
3112 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3113 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3114 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3115 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3116 flash), this value is ignored.
3117
3118 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3119 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3120 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3121 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3122 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3123 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3124
3125 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3126 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3127 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3128 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3129 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3130 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3131 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3132 partition.
3133
3134 default: 20
3135
3136 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3137 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3138 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3139 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3140 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3141 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3142 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3143 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3144 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3145 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3146 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3147 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3148
3149 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3150 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3151 without a fastmap.
3152 default: 0
3153
3154 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3155 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3156 default: 0
3157
3158 - UBIFS support
3159 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3160
3161 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3162 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3163
3164 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3165
3166 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3167
3168 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3169 warnings and errors enabled.
3170
3171 - SPL framework
3172 CONFIG_SPL
3173 Enable building of SPL globally.
3174
3175 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3176 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3177
3178 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3179 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3180 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3181 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3182 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3183 must not be both defined at the same time.
3184
3185 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3186 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3187 linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3188 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3189 not exceed it.
3190
3191 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3192 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3193
3194 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3195 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
3196 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3197
3198 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3199 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3200
3201 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3202 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3203 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3204 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3205 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3206 must not be both defined at the same time.
3207
3208 CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3209 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3210
3211 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3212 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3213 loaded does not have a signature.
3214 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3215 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3216 will be caught.
3217 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3218 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3219 and thus should be skipped silently.
3220
3221 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3222 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3223 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
3224 CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3225
3226 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3227 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3228 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3229 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3230 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3231
3232 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3233 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3234
3235 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3236 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework
3237 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3238 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3239
3240 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3241 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3242 See also: doc/README.falcon
3243
3244 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3245 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3246 about the running system.
3247
3248 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
3249 Arch init code should be built for a very small image
3250
3251 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
3252 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3253 used in raw mode
3254
3255 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3256 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3257 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3258

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

4324 - CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4325 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4326 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4327 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp.

4329
4330 - CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
4331 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,
4332 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS,

4336 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE,
4337 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only)
4338 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4339
4340 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4341 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4342 required.
4343
4344 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4345 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4346 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4347 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4348 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4349 by coreboot or similar.
4350
4351 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4352 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4353
4354 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
4355 Chip has SRIO or not
4356
4357 - CONFIG_SRIO1:
4358 Board has SRIO 1 port available
4359

4361 Board has SRIO 2 port available
4362
4363 - CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
4364 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
4365
4366 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:
4367 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4368
4369 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS:
4370 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4371
4372 - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
4373 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4374
4375 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4376 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4377 a 16 bit bus.
4378 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4379 Example of drivers that use it:
4380 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4381 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4382
4383 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4384 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4385 a default value will be used.
4386
4387 - CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
4388 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4389 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4390
4391 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4392 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4393
4394 - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4395 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4396 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4397 to something your driver can deal with.
4398
4399 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4400 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4401 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4402 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4403 header files or board specific files.
4404
4405 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4406 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4407
4408 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4409 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4410
4411 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4412 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4413
4414 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4415 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4416 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4417
4418 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4419 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4420
4421 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4422 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4423 to the given FEC; i. e.
4424 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4425 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4426
4427 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4428
4429 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4430 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4431 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4432
4433 - CONFIG_RMII
4434 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4435 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4436 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4437
4438 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4439 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4440 The syntax is:
4441
4442 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4443
4444 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4445 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4446 area should have.
4447
4448 - CONFIG_LOOPW
4449 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4450 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4451
4452 - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4453 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4454 "md/mw" commands.
4455 Examples:
4456
4457 => mdc.b 10 4 500
4458 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4459
4460 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4461 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4462
4463 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4464 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4465
4466 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4467 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4468 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4469 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4470 relocate itself into RAM.
4471
4472 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4473 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4474 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4475 these initializations itself.
4476
4477 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4478 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4479 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4480 instruction cache) is still performed.
4481
4482 - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4483 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4484 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4485 compiling a NAND SPL.
4486
4487 - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4488 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4489 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4490 It is loaded by the SPL.
4491
4492 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4493 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4494 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4495 previous 4k of the .text section.
4496
4497 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4498 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4499 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4500 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4501 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4502 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4503 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4504 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4505
4506 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4507 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4508 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4509
4510 - CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4511 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4512
4513 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4514
4515 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4516 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4517
4518 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4519 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4520 driver that uses this:
4521 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4522
4523 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4524 -----------------------------------
4525
4526 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4527 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4528 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4529 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4530 within that device.
4531
4532 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4533 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4534 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4535 is also specified.
4536
4537 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4538 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4539 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4540 is also specified.
4541
4542 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4543 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4544 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4545 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4546 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4547
4548 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4549 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4550 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4551 virtual address in NOR flash.
4552
4553 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4554 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4555 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4556
4557 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4558 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4559 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4560
4561 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4562 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4563 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4564 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4565 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4566 master's memory space.
4567
4568 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4569 ---------------------------------------------------------
4570 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4571 "firmware".
4572 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4573 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4574 within that device.
4575
4576 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4577 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4578
4579 Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4580 -------------------------------------------
4581 The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4582 "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4583 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4584
4585 - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4586 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4587
4588 Reproducible builds
4589 -------------------
4590
4591 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4592 process have to be set to a fixed value.
4593
4594 This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4595 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4596 option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4597
4598 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4599
4600 Building the Software:
4601 ======================
4602
4603 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4604 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4605 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4606 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4607 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4608 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4609
4610 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4611 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4612 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4613 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4614 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4615
4616 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4617 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
4618
4619 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4620 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4621 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4622 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4623
4624 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4625
4626 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4627 be executed on computers running Windows.
4628
4629 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4630 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4631 is done by typing:
4632
4633 make NAME_defconfig
4634
4635 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4636 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4637
4638 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4639 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4640 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4641 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4642 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4643
4644 make TQM823L_defconfig
4645 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4646
4647 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4648 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4649
4650 etc.
4651
4652
4653 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4654 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4655
4656 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4657 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4658 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4659
4660 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4661 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4662 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4663
4664 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4665
4666 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4667 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4668 make O=/tmp/build all
4669
4670 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4671
4672 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4673 make distclean
4674 make NAME_defconfig
4675 make all
4676
4677 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4678 variable.
4679
4680
4681 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4682 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4683 native "make".
4684
4685
4686 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4687 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4688 steps:
4689
4690 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4691 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4692 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
4693 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4694 your board.
4695 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4696 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
4697 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
4698 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4699 to be installed on your target system.
4700 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4701 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4702
4703
4704 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4705 ==============================================================
4706
4707 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4708 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4709 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4710 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4711 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4712
4713 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4714 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4715 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4716 just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4717 configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4718 will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4719 for documentation.

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

5189 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5190 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5191 * Load Address
5192 * Entry Point
5193 * Image Name
5194 * Image Timestamp
5195
5196 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5197 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5198 CRC32 checksums.

5201 Linux Support:
5202 ==============
5203
5204 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5205 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5206 U-Boot.
5207
5208 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5209 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5210 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5211 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5212 serves several purposes:
5213
5214 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5215 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5216 Flash memory footprint)
5217
5218 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5219 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5220
5221 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5222 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5223 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5224 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5225 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5226 software is easier now.
5227
5228
5229 Linux HOWTO:
5230 ============
5231
5232 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5233 ---------------------------------------
5234
5235 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5236 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5237 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5238 Linux :-).
5239
5240 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5241
5242 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5243 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5244 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5245 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5246 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5247
5248 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5249 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5250 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5251 doc/driver-model.
5252
5253
5254 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5255 -----------------------------
5256
5257 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5258 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5259
5260
5261 Building a Linux Image:
5262 -----------------------
5263
5264 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5265 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5266 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5267 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5268 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5269 100% compatible format.
5270
5271 Example:
5272
5273 make TQM850L_defconfig
5274 make oldconfig
5275 make dep
5276 make uImage
5277
5278 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5279 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5280 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5281
5282 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5283
5284 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5285
5286 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5287 -R .note -R .comment \
5288 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5289
5290 * compress the binary image:
5291
5292 gzip -9 linux.bin
5293
5294 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5295
5296 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5297 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5298 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5299
5300
5301 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5302 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5303 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5304 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5305 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5306 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5307
5308 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5309 print the header information, or to build new images.
5310
5311 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5312 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5313 checksum verification:
5314
5315 tools/mkimage -l image
5316 -l ==> list image header information
5317
5318 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5319 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5320
5321 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5322 -n name -d data_file image
5323 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5324 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5325 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5326 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5327 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5328 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5329 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5330 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5331
5332 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5333 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5334 kernel version:
5335
5336 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5337 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5338
5339 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5340
5341 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5342 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5343 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5344 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5345 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5346 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5347 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5348 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5349 Load Address: 0x00000000
5350 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5351
5352 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5353
5354 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5355 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5356 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5357 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5358 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5359 Load Address: 0x00000000
5360 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5361
5362 NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5363 speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5364 needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5365 need to be uncompressed:
5366
5367 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5368 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5369 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5370 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5371 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5372 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5373 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5374 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5375 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5376 Load Address: 0x00000000
5377 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5378
5379
5380 Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5381 when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5382
5383 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5384 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5385 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5386 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
5387 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5388 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5389 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5390 Load Address: 0x00000000
5391 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5392
5393 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5394 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5395 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5396 from the image:
5397
5398 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5399 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5400 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5401 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5402
5403
5404 Installing a Linux Image:
5405 -------------------------
5406
5407 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5408 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5409
5410 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5411
5412 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5413 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5414 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5415 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5416 command.
5417
5418 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5419 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5420
5421 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5422
5423 .......... done
5424 Erased 8 sectors
5425
5426 => loads 40100000
5427 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5428 ~>examples/image.srec

5432 [file transfer complete]
5433 [connected]
5434 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5435
5436
5437 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5438 this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5439 corruption happened:
5440
5441 => imi 40100000
5442
5443 ## Checking Image at 40100000 ...

5452 Boot Linux:
5453 -----------
5454
5455 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5456 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5457 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5458 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5459 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5460
5461
5462 => printenv bootargs
5463 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5464
5465 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5466
5467 => printenv bootargs
5468 bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5583
5584 More About U-Boot Image Types:
5585 ------------------------------
5586
5587 U-Boot supports the following image types:
5588
5589 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5590 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5591 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5592 the Standalone Program.
5593 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5594 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5595 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5596 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5597 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5598 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5599 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5600 being started.
5601 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5602 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5603 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5604 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5605 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5606 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5607
5608 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5609 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5610 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5611 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5612 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5613 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5614
5615 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5616 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5617 flash memory.
5618
5619 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5620 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5621 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5622 as command interpreter.
5623
5624 Booting the Linux zImage:
5625 -------------------------
5626
5627 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5628 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5629 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5630
5631 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5632 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5633 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5634 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5635
5636
5637 Standalone HOWTO:
5638 =================
5639
5640 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5641 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5642 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5643
5644 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5645
5646 "Hello World" Demo:
5647 -------------------
5648
5649 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5650 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5651 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5652 like that:

5678 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5679 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5680 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5681 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5682 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5683 controlled by the following keys:
5684
5685 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5686 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5687 e - stop timer and disable interrupts

5725 Minicom warning:
5726 ================
5727
5728 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5729 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5730 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5731 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5732 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5733 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5734 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5735 for help with kermit.
5736
5737
5738 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5739 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5740
5741 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5742 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N

5746 NetBSD Notes:
5747 =============
5748
5749 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5750 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5751
5752 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5753 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5754 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5755 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5756 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5757 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5758
5759 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5760 # mkdir powerpc
5761 # ln -s powerpc machine
5762 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5763 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5764
5765 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5766 and U-Boot include files.
5767
5768 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5769 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5770 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5771 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5772 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5773
5774
5775 Implementation Internals:
5776 =========================
5777
5778 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5779 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5780 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5781 hardware.
5782
5783
5784 Initial Stack, Global Data:
5785 ---------------------------
5786
5787 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5788 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5789 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5790 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5791 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5792 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5793 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5794 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5795 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5796 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5797
5798 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5799 U-Boot mailing list:
5800
5801 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
5802 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
5803 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
5804 ...
5805
5806 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5807 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5808 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5809 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5810 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5811 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5812 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5813 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5814
5815 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5816 is another option for the system designer to use as an
5817 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5818 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5819 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5820 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5821 used.
5822
5823 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5824 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5825 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5826 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5827 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5828 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5829 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5830 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5831 you get the config right.

5835
5836 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5837 code for the initialization procedures:
5838
5839 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5840 to write it.
5841
5842 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
5843 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5844 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5845
5846 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5847 that.
5848
5849 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5850 normal global data to share information between the code. But it
5851 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5852 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5853 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5854 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5855 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5856 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5857 reserve for this purpose.
5858
5859 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5860 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5861 GCC's implementation.
5862
5863 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5864 R1: stack pointer
5865 R2: reserved for system use
5866 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5867 R5-R10: parameter passing
5868 R13: small data area pointer
5869 R30: GOT pointer
5870 R31: frame pointer
5871
5872 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5873 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5874 going back and forth between asm and C)
5875
5876 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5877
5878 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5879 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5880 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5881 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5882 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5883 624 text + 127 data).
5884
5885 On ARM, the following registers are used:
5886
5887 R0: function argument word/integer result
5888 R1-R3: function argument word
5889 R9: platform specific
5890 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
5891 R11: argument (frame) pointer
5892 R12: temporary workspace
5893 R13: stack pointer
5894 R14: link register
5895 R15: program counter
5896
5897 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
5898
5899 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
5900
5901 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5902 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5903
5904 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5905
5906 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5907 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5908
5909 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5910
5911 R0-R1: argument/return
5912 R2-R5: argument
5913 R15: temporary register for assembler
5914 R16: trampoline register
5915 R28: frame pointer (FP)
5916 R29: global pointer (GP)
5917 R30: link register (LP)
5918 R31: stack pointer (SP)
5919 PC: program counter (PC)
5920
5921 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5922
5923 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5924 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5925
5926 Memory Management:
5927 ------------------
5928
5929 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5930 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5931
5932 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5933 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5934 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5935 physical memory banks.
5936
5937 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5938 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5939 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5940 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5941 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5942 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5943 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5944
5945 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5946 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5947
5948 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5949 this:
5950
5951 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5952 :
5953 0x0000 1FFF
5954 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5955 :
5956 :
5957
5958 :
5959 :
5960 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5961 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5962 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5963 :
5964 0x00FD FFFF
5965 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5966 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5967 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5968 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5969
5970
5971 System Initialization:
5972 ----------------------
5973
5974 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5975 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5976 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
5977 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5978 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5979 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5980 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5981 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5982 the caches and the SIU.
5983
5984 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5985 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5986 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5987 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5988 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5989 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5990 banks.
5991
5992 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5993 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5994 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
5995 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5996 contiguous memory starting from 0.
5997
5998 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5999 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6000 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6001 pages, and the final stack is set up.
6002
6003 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6004 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6005 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6006 new address in RAM.

6083 Coding Standards:
6084 -----------------
6085
6086 All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6087 coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6088 "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6089
6090 Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6091 MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6092 reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6093 sources.
6094
6095 Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6096 Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6097 in your code.
6098
6099 Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6100 - remove any trailing white space
6101 - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6102 - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6103 - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6104 - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6105
6106 Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6107 with a request to reformat the changes.
6108
6109
6110 Submitting Patches:
6111 -------------------
6112
6113 Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6114 establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6115 may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6116
6117 Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6118
6119 Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6120 see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6121
6122 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6123 it:
6124
6125 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6126 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6127 patch actually fixes something.
6128
6129 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
6130 implementation.
6131
6132 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6133
6134 * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6135 information and associated file and directory references.
6136
6137 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6138 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6139
6140 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6141 document these in the README file.
6142
6143 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6144 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6145 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6146 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6147 with some other mail clients.
6148
6149 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6150 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6151 GNU diff.
6152
6153 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6154 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6155 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6156 affected files).

6158 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6159 and compressed attachments must not be used.

6161 * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6162 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6163
6164 * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6165 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6166
6167
6168 Notes:
6169
6170 * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
6171 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6172 for any of the boards.
6173
6174 * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6175 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6176 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6177
6178 * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6179 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6180 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6181 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6182 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6183 modification.
6184
6185 * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6186 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6187 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6188 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
