| The /config node (Configuration Options) |
| ---------------------------------------- |
| |
| A number of run-time configuration options are provided in the /config node |
| of the control device tree. You can access these using fdtdec_get_config_int(), |
| fdtdec_get_config_bool() and fdtdec_get_config_string(). |
| |
| These options are designed to affect the operation of U-Boot at runtime. |
| Runtime-configuration items can help avoid proliferation of different builds |
| with only minor changes, e.g. enabling and disabling console output. Items |
| here should be those that can usefully be set by the build system after U-Boot |
| is built. |
| |
| Available options are: |
| |
| bootcmd (string) |
| Allows overwriting of the boot command used by U-Boot on startup. If |
| present, U-Boot uses this command instead. Note that this feature can |
| work even if loading the environment is disabled, e.g. for security |
| reasons. See also bootsecure. |
| |
| bootdelay (int) |
| This allows selecting of the U-Boot bootdelay, to control whether U-Boot |
| waits on boot or for how long. This allows this option to be configured |
| by the build system or by a previous-stage binary. For example, if the |
| images is being packed for testing or a user holds down a button, it may |
| allow a delay, but disable it for production. |
| |
| u-boot,boot-led (string) |
| u-boot,error-led (string) |
| This is used to specify the label for an LED to indicate an error and |
| a successful boot, on supported hardware. |
| |
| bootsecure (int) |
| Indicates that U-Boot should use secure_boot_cmd() to run commands, |
| rather than the normal CLI. This can be used in production images, to |
| restrict the amount of parsing done or the options available, to cut |
| back on the available surface for security attacks. |
| |
| u-boot,efi-partition-entries-offset (int) |
| If present, this provides an offset (in bytes, from the start of a |
| device) that should be skipped over before the partition entries. |
| This is used by the EFI/GPT partition implementation when a device |
| is formatted. |
| |
| This setting will override any values configured via Kconfig. |
| |
| kernel-offset (int) |
| This allows setting the 'kernaddr' environment variable, used to select |
| the address to load the kernel. It is useful for systems that use U-Boot |
| to flash a device, so the scripts that do this know where to put the |
| kernel to be flashed. |
| |
| load-environment (int) |
| Allows control over whether U-Boot loads its environment after |
| relocation (0=no, 1 or not present=yes). |
| |
| u-boot,mmc-env-offset (int) |
| u-boot,mmc-env-offset-redundant (int) |
| If present, the values of the 'u-boot,mmc-env-offset' and/or |
| of the u-boot,mmc-env-offset-redundant' properties overrides |
| CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND, respectively, |
| for SD/MMC devices. |
| |
| Values are interpreted as the offset from the start of the |
| device, specified in bytes. It is assumed that the setting |
| will point at the beginning of a LBA and values that are not |
| LBA-aligned will be rounded up to the next LBA address. |
| |
| u-boot,mmc-env-partition (int) |
| if present, the environment shall be placed at the last |
| CONFIG_ENV_SIZE blocks of the partition on the |
| CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV. |
| |
| if u-boot,mmc-env-offset* is present, this setting will take |
| precedence. In that case, only if the partition is not found, |
| mmc-env-offset* will be tried. |
| |
| u-boot,no-apm-finalize (bool) |
| For x86 devices running on coreboot, this tells U-Boot not to lock |
| down the Intel Management Engine (ME) registers. This allows U-Boot to |
| access the hardware more fully for platforms that need it. |
| |
| u-boot,no-keyboard (bool) |
| Tells U-Boot not to expect an attached keyboard with a VGA console. |
| |
| rootdisk-offset (int) |
| This allows setting the 'rootdisk' environment variable, used to select |
| the address to load the rootdisk. It is useful for systems that use |
| U-Boot to flash a device, so the scripts that do this know where to put |
| the root disk to be flashed. |
| |
| silent-console (int) |
| If present and non-zero, the console is silenced by default on boot. |
| |
| u-boot,spl-payload-offset (int) |
| If present (and SPL is controlled by the device-tree), this allows |
| to override the CONFIG_SYS_SPI_U_BOOT_OFFS setting using a value |
| from the device-tree. |
| |
| sysreset-gpio (string) |
| If present (and supported by the specific board), indicates a |
| GPIO that can be set to trigger a system reset. It is assumed |
| that such a system reset will effect a complete platform reset, |
| being roughly equivalent to a power-on reset. |
