wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000011This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
wdenkce4832c2004-10-17 21:12:06 +000012Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000016
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000018the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000020support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.

33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000034Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000035"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000225Software Configuration:
226=======================
227
228Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
230
231There are two classes of configuration variables:
232
233* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
235 "CONFIG_".
236
237* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200240 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000241
242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
246as an example here.
247
248
249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
250---------------------------------------------------
251
252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000254
255Example: For a TQM823L module type:
256
257 cd u-boot
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200258 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000259
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
263
264
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600265Sandbox Environment:
266--------------------
267
268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
271run some of U-Boot's tests.
272
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki287314f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530273See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600274
275
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000276Configuration Options:
277----------------------
278
279Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
280such information is kept in a configuration file
281"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
282
283Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
284"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
285
286
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000287Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
288kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
289build a config tool - later.
290
291
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000292The following options need to be configured:
293

Simon Glass9fa901b2014-11-10 17:16:54 -0700624- Driver Model
625 Driver model is a new framework for devices in U-Boot
626 introduced in early 2014. U-Boot is being progressively
627 moved over to this. It offers a consistent device structure,
628 supports grouping devices into classes and has built-in
629 handling of platform data and device tree.
630
631 To enable transition to driver model in a relatively
632 painful fashion, each subsystem can be independently
633 switched between the legacy/ad-hoc approach and the new
634 driver model using the options below. Also, many uclass
635 interfaces include compatibility features which may be
636 removed once the conversion of that subsystem is complete.
637 As a result, the API provided by the subsystem may in fact
638 not change with driver model.
639
640 See doc/driver-model/README.txt for more information.
641
642 CONFIG_DM
643
644 Enable driver model. This brings in the core support,
645 including scanning of platform data on start-up. If
646 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is enabled, the device tree will be
647 scanned also when available.
648
649 CONFIG_CMD_DM
650
651 Enable driver model test commands. These allow you to print
652 out the driver model tree and the uclasses.
653
654 CONFIG_DM_DEMO
655
656 Enable some demo devices and the 'demo' command. These are
657 really only useful for playing around while trying to
658 understand driver model in sandbox.
659
660 CONFIG_SPL_DM
661
662 Enable driver model in SPL. You will need to provide a
663 suitable malloc() implementation. If you are not using the
664 full malloc() enabled by CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START,
665 consider using CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE. In that case you
666 must provide CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to set the size.
667 In most cases driver model will only allocate a few uclasses
668 and devices in SPL, so 1KB should be enable. See
669 CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN for more details on how to enable
670 it.
671
672 CONFIG_DM_SERIAL
673
674 Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
675 drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
676 implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
677 defined in include/serial.h.
678
679 CONFIG_DM_GPIO
680
681 Enable driver model for GPIO access. The standard GPIO
682 interface (gpio_get_value(), etc.) is then implemented by
683 the GPIO uclass. Drivers provide methods to query the
684 particular GPIOs that they provide. The uclass interface
685 is defined in include/asm-generic/gpio.h.
686
687 CONFIG_DM_SPI
688
689 Enable driver model for SPI. The SPI slave interface
690 (spi_setup_slave(), spi_xfer(), etc.) is then implemented by
691 the SPI uclass. Drivers provide methods to access the SPI
692 buses that they control. The uclass interface is defined in
693 include/spi.h. The existing spi_slave structure is attached
694 as 'parent data' to every slave on each bus. Slaves
695 typically use driver-private data instead of extending the
696 spi_slave structure.
697
698 CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH
699
700 Enable driver model for SPI flash. This SPI flash interface
701 (spi_flash_probe(), spi_flash_write(), etc.) is then
702 implemented by the SPI flash uclass. There is one standard
703 SPI flash driver which knows how to probe most chips
704 supported by U-Boot. The uclass interface is defined in
705 include/spi_flash.h, but is currently fully compatible
706 with the old interface to avoid confusion and duplication
707 during the transition parent. SPI and SPI flash must be
708 enabled together (it is not possible to use driver model
709 for one and not the other).
710
711 CONFIG_DM_CROS_EC
712
713 Enable driver model for the Chrome OS EC interface. This
714 allows the cros_ec SPI driver to operate with CONFIG_DM_SPI
715 but otherwise makes few changes. Since cros_ec also supports
716 I2C and LPC (which don't support driver model yet), a full
717 conversion is not yet possible.
718
719
720 ** Code size options: The following options are enabled by
721 default except in SPL. Enable them explicitly to get these
722 features in SPL.
723
724 CONFIG_DM_WARN
725
726 Enable the dm_warn() function. This can use up quite a bit
727 of space for its strings.
728
729 CONFIG_DM_STDIO
730
731 Enable registering a serial device with the stdio library.
732
733 CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE
734
735 Enable removing of devices.
736

740
741 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
742 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
743 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
744 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
745 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
746 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
747 Linux kernel.

wdenk9b7f3842003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000752 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
753
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -0800754 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
wdenk9b7f3842003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000755 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
756 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.

Gerald Van Barenfcd91bb2008-06-03 20:34:45 -0400758 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
Wolfgang Denk27a5b0b2005-10-13 01:45:54 +0200759
760 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400761 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
762 concepts).
763
764 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
765 * New libfdt-based support
766 * Adds the "fdt" command
Kim Phillips9b46eb62007-08-10 14:34:14 -0500767 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400768

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200776 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
777 addresses
Kim Phillips9b46eb62007-08-10 14:34:14 -0500778
Kumar Gala1e26aa52006-01-11 13:54:17 -0600779 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
780
781 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
782 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000783
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600784 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
785
786 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
787 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
788 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
789 the kernel.
790
Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500791 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
792
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200793 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500794 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
795
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200796 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
797
798 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
799 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
800 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
801 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
802 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
803 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
804
Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000805 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
806
807 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
808 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
809 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
810 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
811 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
812 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
813 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
814
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100815- vxWorks boot parameters:
816
817 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
818 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
819 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
820
821 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
822 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
823 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
824 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
825
826 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
827
828 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
829
830 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
831 the defaults discussed just above.
832
Aneesh V960f5c02011-06-16 23:30:47 +0000833- Cache Configuration:
834 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
835 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
836 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
837
Aneesh V686a0752011-06-16 23:30:51 +0000838- Cache Configuration for ARM:

wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000844- Serial Ports:
Andreas Engel0813b122008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200845 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000846
847 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
848
Andreas Engel0813b122008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200849 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000850
851 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
852
853 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
854
855 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
856 the clock speed of the UARTs.
857
858 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
859
860 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
861 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
862 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
863
John Rigby34e21ee2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000864 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
865
866 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
867 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
868 this variable to initialize the extra register.
869
870 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
871
872 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
873 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
874 variable to flush the UART at init time.
875
Karicheri, Muralidharancbc08882014-04-09 15:38:46 -0400876 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
877
878 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
879 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000880
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000881- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000882 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
883 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
884 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
885 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000886
887 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
888 port routines must be defined elsewhere
889 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
890
891 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
892 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following

Pali Rohár4a57da32012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000930 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
931 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
932 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
933
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000934 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
935 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
936 environment 'console=serial'.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000937
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000938 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
939 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
940 the "silent" environment variable. See
941 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenk3da587e2003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000942
Heiko Schocher62759562013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200943 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
944 is 0x00.
945 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
946 is 0xa0.
947
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000948- Console Baudrate:
949 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
950 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200951 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
952 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100954- Console Rx buffer length
955 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
956 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100957 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100958 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
959 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
960 the SMC.
961
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000962- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200963 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
964 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
965 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
966 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
967 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
968 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
969 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200970 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200971 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000972
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200973 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
974 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000975
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000976- Safe printf() functions
977 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
978 the printf() functions. These are defined in
979 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
980 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
981 If this option is not given then these functions will
982 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
983 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
984
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000985- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
986 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
987 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000988 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
989 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000990
991 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
992 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
993 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
994 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
995 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
996 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
997 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
998 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
999 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
1000 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
1001 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
1002 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
1003
1004- Autoboot Command:
1005 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
1006 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
1007 define a command string that is automatically executed
1008 when no character is read on the console interface
1009 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
1010
1011 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001012 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
1013 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
1014 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001015
1016 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001017 The value of these goes into the environment as
1018 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
1019 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001020 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001021
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +01001022- Bootcount:
1023 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1024 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
1025 cycle, see:
1026 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
1027
1028 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
1029 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1030 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1031 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1032 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1033 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1034 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1035 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1036 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1037
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001038- Pre-Boot Commands:
1039 CONFIG_PREBOOT
1040
1041 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1042 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1043 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1044 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1045 entering interactive mode.
1046
1047 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1048 automatically generated or modified. For an example
1049 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1050 modified when the user holds down a certain
1051 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1052 booting the systems
1053
1054- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1055 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1056 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1057 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1058 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1059 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1060 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1061 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1062
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001063- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001064 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
1065 Select one of the baudrates listed in

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001067
1068- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001069 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1070 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +00001071 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
1072 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001073 and augmenting with additional #define's
1074 for wanted commands.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001195
1196 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001197 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001198 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1199 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1200 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1201 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1202 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1203 initial stack and some data.

1206 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1207
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001208- Regular expression support:
1209 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001210 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1211 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1212 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1213 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001214
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001215- Device tree:
1216 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1217 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1218 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1219 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1220 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1221 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1222
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001223 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1224 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001225
1226 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1227 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1228 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1229 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1230 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1231 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001232
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001233 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1234 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1235 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1236 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1237
1238 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1239
1240 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1241 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1242 still use the individual files if you need something more
1243 exotic.
1244
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001245- Watchdog:
1246 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1247 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001248 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1249 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1250 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1251 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1252 available, then no further board specific code should
1253 be needed to use it.
1254
1255 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1256 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1257 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1258 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001259
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001260- U-Boot Version:
1261 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1262 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1263 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1264 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001265 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1266 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001267
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001268- Real-Time Clock:
1269
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001270 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001271 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1272 following options:
1273
1274 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1275 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001276 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001279 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001280 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel90491f22014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001281 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenkef5fe752003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001282 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001285 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001286 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1287 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001288
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001289 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1290 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1291
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001292- GPIO Support:
1293 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001294
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001295 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1296 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1297 pins supported by a particular chip.
1298
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001299 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1300 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1301
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001302- I/O tracing:
1303 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1304 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1305 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1306 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1307 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1308 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1309 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1310 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1311
1312 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1313 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1314 still continue to operate.
1315
1316 iotrace is enabled
1317 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1318 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1319 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1320 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1321 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1322 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1323
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001324- Timestamp Support:
1325
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001326 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1327 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1328 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001329 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001330
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001331- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1332 Zero or more of the following:
1333 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1334 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the

Igor Grinbergac5f6ee2011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001654- ULPI Layer Support:
1655 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1656 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1657 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1658 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1659 viewport is supported.
1660 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1661 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001662 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1663 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1664 the appropriate value in Hz.

Heiko Schochera2f831e2013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001715 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1716 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1717 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1718 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1719 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1720
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001721 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1722 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1723 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1724 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1725 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1726 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1727
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001728 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1729 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1730 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1731 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1732
1733 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1734 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1735 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1736 sending again an USB request to the device.

1762 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1763 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1764
1765 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1766 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1767 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1768 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1769
Steve Rae7d059342014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001770 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1771 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1772 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1773 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1774 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1775 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1776 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1777 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.

1999 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
2000 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini958a8f82014-02-25 10:27:01 -05002001 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00002002 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
2003 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
2004 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
2005 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
2006 there is no need to set this option.
2007
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02002008 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2009
2010 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2011 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2012 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2013 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2014 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2015 specify 'm' for centering the image.
2016
2017 Example:
2018 setenv splashpos m,m
2019 => image at center of screen
2020
2021 setenv splashpos 30,20
2022 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
2023
2024 setenv splashpos -10,m
2025 => vertically centered image
2026 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
2027
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02002028- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2029
2030 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2031 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2032 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2033
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01002034- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2035
2036 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2037 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2038 bmp command.
2039
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002040- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00002041 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2042
2043 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2044 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2045
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002046- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002047 CONFIG_GZIP
2048
2049 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2050
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002051 CONFIG_BZIP2
2052
2053 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2054 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2055 compressed images are supported.
2056
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002057 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002058 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002059 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00002060
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002061 CONFIG_LZMA
2062
2063 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2064 images is included.
2065
2066 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2067 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2068 formula:
2069
2070 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2071
2072 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2073 and Literal pos bits.
2074
2075 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2076 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2077 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2078 a very small buffer.
2079
2080 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2081 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002082 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002083
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002084 CONFIG_LZO
2085
2086 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2087 is included.
2088
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002089- MII/PHY support:
2090 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
2091
2092 The address of PHY on MII bus.
2093
2094 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2095
2096 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2097
2098 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2099
2100 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002101 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002102
2103 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2104
2105 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2106 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2107 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2108 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2109
2110 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2111
2112 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2113 command issued before MII status register can be read

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04002142 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2143
2144 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2145 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2146
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002147- Gateway IP address:
2148 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2149
2150 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2151 default router where packets to other networks are
2152 sent to.
2153 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2154
2155- Subnet mask:
2156 CONFIG_NETMASK
2157
2158 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2159 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2160 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2161 forwarded through a router.
2162 (Environment variable "netmask")
2163
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002164- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2165 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2166
2167 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2168 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002169 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002170 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2171 multicast group.
2172
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002173- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2174 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2175
2176 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2177 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2178 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2179 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2180 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2181 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2182 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2183 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002184 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002185
2186 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2187 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2188 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2189 4th and following
2190 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2191
Thierry Reding8977cda2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002192 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2193
2194 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2195 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2196 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2197 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2198 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2199 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2200 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2201 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2202 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2203 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2204 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2205 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2206 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2207 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2208 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2209
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002210- DHCP Advanced Options:
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002211 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2212 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002227
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002228 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2229 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002230
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002231 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2232 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2233 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2234 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2235 is not available.
2236
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002237 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2238 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2239 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2240 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2241 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2242 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2243 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002244 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002245
2246 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2247 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2248 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002249 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002250 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2251 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002252
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002253 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2254
2255 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2256 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2257 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2258 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2259 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2260 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2261 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2262 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2263 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2264 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2265 this delay.
2266
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002267 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2268 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2269 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2270 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2271 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002317- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2318
2319 Several configurations allow to display the current
2320 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2321 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2322 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2323 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2324 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2325 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2326 feature in U-Boot.
2327
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002328 Additional options:
2329
2330 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2331 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2332 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2333 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2334 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2335
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002336 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2337 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2338 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2339 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2340 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2341 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2342
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002343- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2344
2345 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2346 on those systems that support this (optional)
2347 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2348

2527 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2528 provides the following compelling advantages:
2529
2530 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2531 - approved multibus support
2532 - better i2c mux support
2533
2534 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002535
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002536 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2537 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2538 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002539
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002540 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002541 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002542 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2543 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002544 command line interface.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002546 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002547
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002548 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002549 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002550
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002551 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002552 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002553 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002554 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002555
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002556 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002557 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002558 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2559 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2560 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002561
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002562 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2563
2564 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2565 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2566 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2567 commands until the slave device responds.
2568
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002569 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002570
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002571 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002572 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are

2583
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002584 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2585 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2586 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002587
2588 I2C_ACTIVE
2589
2590 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2591 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this

2630
2631 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2632 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002633 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something

2641 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2642 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2643 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2644
2645 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2646 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002649
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002650 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2651 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2652 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2653 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2654 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2655 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2656 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2657 is run early in the boot sequence.

Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002659 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2660
2661 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2662 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2663 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2664 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2665 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2666 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2667 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2668 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2669
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002670 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2671
2672 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2673 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2674 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2675
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002676 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2677
2678 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002679 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2680 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002681 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002684
2685 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002686 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002687 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2688 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002689

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002693
2694 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2695

Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002722 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2723
2724 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2725 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2726 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2727 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2728 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2729 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2730 the other.

2851
2852 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2853 with a special header) as build targets. By defining

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002862
2863- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2864
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002865 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2866 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002867 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002868 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2869 protects these variables from casual modification by
2870 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2871 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002872 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002873
2874 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2875 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002876 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002877 these parameters.
2878
2879 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2880 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002881 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002882 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2883 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2884 read-only.]
2885
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002886 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2887 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2888 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2889 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2890
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002891- Protected RAM:
2892 CONFIG_PRAM
2893
2894 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2895 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2896 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2897 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2898 this default value by defining an environment
2899 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2900 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2901 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2902 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2903 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2904 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2905 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2906
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002907 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002908 saveenv
2909
2910 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2911 either, which results in a memory region that will
2912 not be affected by reboots.
2913
2914 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2915 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2916 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2917 following board configurations are known to be
2918 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002924- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2925 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2926 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2927 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2928 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2929 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2930 currently only supports clearing the memory.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002932- Error Recovery:
2933 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2934
2935 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2936 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2937 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002938 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002939 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2940 useful during development since you can try to debug
2941 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2942
2943 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2944
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002945 This variable defines the number of retries for
2946 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2947 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a

2965
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002966 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002967
2968 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2969 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2970 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2971
2972 Note:
2973
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002974 In the current implementation, the local variables
2975 space and global environment variables space are
2976 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2977 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2978 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2979 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2980 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002981
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002982 Global environment variables are those you use
2983 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2984 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2985 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002986
2987 To store commands and special characters in a
2988 variable, please use double quotation marks
2989 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2990 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2991 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003000 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
3001
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003002 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
3003 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003004 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00003005
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003006 For example, place something like this in your
3007 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003008
3009 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
3010 "myvar1=value1\0" \
3011 "myvar2=value2\0"
3012
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003013 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
3014 internal format how the environment is stored by the
3015 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
3016 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003017 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003018 You better know what you are doing here.
3019
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003020 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
3021 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02003022 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003023 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003024
Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00003025 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
3026
3027 Define this in order to add variables describing the
3028 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3029 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3030
3031 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3032
3033 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3034 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3035 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3036 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3037 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3038
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00003039 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3040
3041 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3042 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3043 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3044
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003045 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3046
3047 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003048 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003049 that so that the environment is not available until
3050 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3051 this is instead controlled by the value of
3052 /config/load-environment.
3053
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003054- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003055 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3056
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003057 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3058 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3059 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003060
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07003061- Serial Flash support
3062 CONFIG_CMD_SF
3063
3064 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3065 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3066
3067 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3068 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3069 commands.
3070
3071 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3072 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3073 flash is present on the system.
3074
3075 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3076 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
3077 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
3078 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3079
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00003080 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3081
3082 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3083 test ('sf test').
3084
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekic6d173d2013-06-19 15:33:58 +05303085 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
3086
3087 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
3088 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
3089
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303090 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3091
3092 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3093 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003094 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303095
Heiko Schocherd73b7ec2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02003096 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
3097 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
3098 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
3099 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
3100 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
3101 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
3102 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
3103 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
3104 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
3105 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
3106
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003107- SystemACE Support:
3108 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3109
3110 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3111 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003112 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003113 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003114
3115 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003116 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003117
3118 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3119 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3120
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003121- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3122 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3123
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003124 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003125 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003126 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003127 number generator is used.
3128
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003129 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3130 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3131 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3132
3133 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003134 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3135 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3136 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3137 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3138 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3139 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3140
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003141- Hashing support:
3142 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3143
3144 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3145 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3146
3147 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3148
3149 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3150 size a little.
3151
3152 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3153 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3154
3155 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3156 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3157
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003158- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3159 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3160 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3161 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3162
3163 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3164 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3165 a boot from specific media.
3166
3167 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3168 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3169 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3170 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3171 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3172
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003173- Signing support:
3174 CONFIG_RSA
3175
3176 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel49dc73b2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003177 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003178
3179 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3180 option.
3181
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003182- bootcount support:
3183 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3184
3185 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3186 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3187
3188 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3189 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3190 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3191 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3192 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3193 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3194 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3195 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3196 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3197 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3198 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3199 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3200 the bootcounter.
3201 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003202
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003203- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003204 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3205
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003206 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3207 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3208 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3209 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3210 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3211 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003212
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003213- Detailed boot stage timing
3214 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3215 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3216 of the boot process.
3217
3218 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3219 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3220 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3221 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3222 the limit, recording will stop.
3223
3224 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3225 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3226
3227 Timer summary in microseconds:
3228 Mark Elapsed Stage
3229 0 0 reset
3230 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3231 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9

3237
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003238 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3239 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3240 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3241
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003242 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3243 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3244 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3245 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3246 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3247 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3248 For example:
3249
3250 bootstage {
3251 154 {
3252 name = "board_init_f";
3253 mark = <3575678>;
3254 };
3255 170 {
3256 name = "lcd";
3257 accum = <33482>;
3258 };
3259 };
3260
3261 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003458 This option defines a board specific value for the
3459 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus

3468 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3469 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3470 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3471 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3472 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3473 configured panel size.

3502 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3503 with the UBI flash translation layer
3504
3505 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3506
Joe Hershberger47550fc2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003507 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG

Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003512
3513 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3514 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3515 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3516 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3517 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3518 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3519
3520 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3521 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3522 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3523 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3524 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3525
3526 default: 4096
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003527
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003528 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3529 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3530 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3531 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3532 flash), this value is ignored.
3533
3534 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3535 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3536 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3537 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3538 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3539 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3540
3541 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3542 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3543 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3544 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3545 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3546 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3547 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3548 partition.
3549
3550 default: 20
3551
3552 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3553 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3554 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3555 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3556 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3557 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3558 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3559 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3560 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3561 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3562 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3563 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3564
3565 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3566 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3567 without a fastmap.
3568 default: 0
3569
Joe Hershberger7d80fc12013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003570- UBIFS support
3571 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3572
3573 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3574 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3575
3576 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3577
Joe Hershberger47550fc2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003578 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003844- Interrupt support (PPC):
3845
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003846 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3847 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003848 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003849 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003850 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003851 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003852 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003853 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3854 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3855 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003857- General:
3858
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003859 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3860 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3861 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003862 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003863 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3864 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3865 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003866
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003867 If there are no modem init strings in the
3868 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3869 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003870 suppressed, though.

Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003945 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003946 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By

Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003953
3954 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx

3991
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003992- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3993 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3994 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3995 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3996 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3997 space.
3998
3999 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
4000 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
4001 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004002 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06004003 U-Boot relocates itself.
4004
Simon Glasse997f752014-09-15 06:33:18 -06004005 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass0cc6f5c2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06004006 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
4007
Simon Glass9fa901b2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07004008- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
4009 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those

4012
Thierry Redingc97d9742014-12-09 22:25:22 -07004013- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
4014 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
4015 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
4016 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
4017 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
4018 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
4019 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
4020 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
4021 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
4022 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
4023 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
4024 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
4025 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
4026 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
4027 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
4028 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
4029
4030 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
4031
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004032- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01004033 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
4034 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004035 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01004036 to adjust this setting to your needs.
4037
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004038- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:

4042 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04004043 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004044 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004045 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004046 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4047 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004085- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004086
4087 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4088 without this option such a download has to be
4089 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4090 copy from RAM to flash.
4091
4092 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4093 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004094 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4095 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004096 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.

4131 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4132 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4133 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004139 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4140 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004141 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4142 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004143 on high Ethernet traffic.

4194 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4195 access flags.
4196
Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00004197- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4198 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4199 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4200 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4201 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4202 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4203 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4204 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4205 your board please report the problem and send patches!

4209 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004210 the value can be calculated on a given board.

Gabe Black3687fe42014-10-15 04:38:30 -06004212- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4213 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4214 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4215 building U-Boot to enable this.
4216
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004217The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4218of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4219following configurations:
4220
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004221- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4222
4223 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4224 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4225
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004226- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004227
4228 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4229
4230 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4231 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4232 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4233 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4234 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4235 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4236 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4237 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4238 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4239 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4240 between U-Boot and the environment.
4241
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004242 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004243
4244 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4245 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4246 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4247 for this sector is given here.
4248
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004249 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004250
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004251 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004252
4253 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4254 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004255 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004256
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004257 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004258
4259 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4260
4261
4262 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4263 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4264 the environment.
4265
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004266 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004267
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004268 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004269 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004270 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4271 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4272
4273 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4274 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4275 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4276 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4277 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4278 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4279 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4280 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4281 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4282
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004283 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4284 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004285
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004286 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004287 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004288 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004289 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004290
4291BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4292source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4293accordingly!
4294
4295
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004296- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004297
4298 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4299 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4300 environment.
4301
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004302 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4303 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004304
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004305 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004306 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4307 can just be read and written to, without any special
4308 provision.
4309
4310BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004311in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004312console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004313U-Boot will hang.
4314
4315Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4316environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4317keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4318to save the current settings.
4319
4320
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004321- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004322
4323 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4324 device and a driver for it.
4325
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004326 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4327 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004328
4329 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4330 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4331
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004332 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004333 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4334 The default address is zero.
4335
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004336 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004337 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4338 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4339 would require six bits.
4340
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004341 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004342 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004343 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004344
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004345 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004346 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4347 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4348
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004349 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004350 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4351 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4352 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4353 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4354 byte chips.
4355
4356 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4357 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4358 in the chip address.
4359
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004360 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004361 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4362
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004363 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4364 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4365 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4366
4367 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4368 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4369 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4370 EEPROM. For example:
4371
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004372 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004373
4374 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4375 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004376
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD2b14d2b2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02004377- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004378
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00004379 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004380 want to use for the environment.
4381

4384 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004385
4386 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4387 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4388 at the specified address.
4389
Wu, Josh76db7bf2014-07-01 19:30:13 +08004390- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4391
4392 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4393 want to use for the environment.
4394
4395 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4396 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4397
4398 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4399 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4400 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4401
4402 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4403
4404 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4405
4406 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4407
4408 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4409 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4410 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4411 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4412 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4413
4414 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4415 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4416
4417 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4418
4419 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4420
4421 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4422
4423 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4424
4425 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4426
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004427- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4428
4429 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4430 want to use for the local device's environment.
4431
4432 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4433 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4434
4435 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4436 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4437 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004438 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004439
4440BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4441"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004442environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4443but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDdda84dd2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02004445- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004446
4447 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4448 for the environment.
4449
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004450 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4451 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004452
4453 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004454 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4455 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004459 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004460 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4461 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004462 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004463 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4464
4465 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4466
4467 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4468 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4469 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4470 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4471 the range to be avoided.
4472
4473 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004474
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004475 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4476 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4477 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4478 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4479 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004480
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004481- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4482
4483 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4484 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4485 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4486
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004487- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4488
4489 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4490 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4491 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4492
4493 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4494
4495 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4496
4497 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4498
4499 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4500 environment in.
4501
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004502 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4503
4504 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4505 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4506 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4507
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004508 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4509 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4510
4511 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4512 when storing the env in UBI.
4513
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004514- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4515 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4516
4517 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4518
4519 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4520
4521 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4522
4523 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4524 be as following:
4525
4526 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4527 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4528 partition table.
4529 - "D:0": device D.
4530 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4531 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4532 table.
4533 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004534 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004535 partition table then means device D.
4536
4537 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4538
4539 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004540 environment.
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004541
4542 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004543 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004544
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004545- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4546
4547 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4548 environment.
4549
4550 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4551
4552 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4553
4554 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4555
4556 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4557 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4558 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4559
4560 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4561 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4562
4563 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4564 area within the specified MMC device.
4565
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004566 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4567 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4568 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4569 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4570 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4571 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4572 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4573
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004574 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4575 MMC sector boundary.
4576
4577 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4578
4579 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4580 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4581 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4582 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4583
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004584 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4585 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4586
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004587 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4588 an MMC sector boundary.
4589
4590 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4591
4592 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4593 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4594 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4595
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004596- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004597
4598 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4599 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4600 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4601 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4602 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4603 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4604 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4605
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004606Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004607has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004608created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004609until then to read environment variables.
4610
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004611The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4612is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4613with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4614necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4615"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4616have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004617
4618Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4619the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004620use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004625 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004626 also needs to be defined.
4627
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004628- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004631- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4632 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4633 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4634 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4635 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4636 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4637
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004638- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4639 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4640 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4641 to do this.
4642
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004643- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4644 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4645 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4646 present.
4647
Sascha Silbe4b9c17c2013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004648- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:

4650 build system checks that the actual size does not
4651 exceed it.

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004661
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004662 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4663 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4664 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004666- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4667 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4668 PowerPC SOCs.
4669
4670- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4671 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4672 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4673
4674 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4675 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4676
4677- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4678 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4679 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004680 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004681 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4682 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4683 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4684
4685 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4686 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4687
4688- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004689 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4690 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004691 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4692 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4693
4694- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4695 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4696 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4697 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4698
4699- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4700 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4701 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4916 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4917
4918- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4919 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004920 to the given FEC; i. e.
4921 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004922 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4923
4924 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4925
4926- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR

Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004964 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004965 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4966 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4967 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004968
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004969 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4970 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4971 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4972 these initializations itself.

4988
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004989- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4990 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4991 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4992 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4993 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4994 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4995 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4996 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004998- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4999 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
5000 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
5001 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
5002 conditions but may increase the binary size.
5003
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00005004- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
5005 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not

5023
5024The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
5025loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
5026This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5027are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5028within that device.

5040- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5041 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5042 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5043 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5044 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5045
5046- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5047 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5048 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5049 virtual address in NOR flash.

5071---------------------------------------------------------
5072The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5073"firmware".
5074This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5075are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5076within that device.

5079 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5080
5081- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5082 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
5083 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5084 is also specified.
5085
5086- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5087 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5088 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5089 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5090 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5091
5092- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5093 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as

5104recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5105which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005107If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5108have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5109you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5110Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5111necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005112
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005113 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5114 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005115
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05005116Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5117 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5118 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5119 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5120
5121 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5122
5123 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5124 be executed on computers running Windows.
5125
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005126U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5127sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005128is done by typing:
5129
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005130 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005131
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005132where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005133rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00005134
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005135Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5136 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5137 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5138 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005139 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005140
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005141 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005142 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005143
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005144 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005145 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005146
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005147 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005148
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005149
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005150Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5151images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005152
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005153- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5154- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5155- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005156
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005157By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5158in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5159this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5160
51611. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5162
5163 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005164 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005165 make O=/tmp/build all
5166
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +020051672. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005168
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005169 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005170 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005171 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005172 make all
5173
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005174Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005175variable.
5176
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005177
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005178Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5179for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5180native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005181
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005182
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005183If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5184to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5185steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005186
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051871. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005188 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5189 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051902. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5191 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5192 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
51933. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5194 your board
51953. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5196 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020051974. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051985. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5199 to be installed on your target system.
52006. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5201 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005204Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5205==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005206
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005207If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5208or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005209provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5210the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005211official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005212
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005213But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5214cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005215the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5216just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005217for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5218select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5219environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5220you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005221
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005222 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005223
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005224or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005225
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005226 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005227
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005228When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5229U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5230setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5231built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5232<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5233location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5234variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005235
5236 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5237 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5238 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5239
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005240With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5241log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5242during the whole build process.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005305Environment Variables:
5306======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005307
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005308U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5309can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005310
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005311Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5312"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5313without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5314environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5315working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5316environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005329
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005330 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005331
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005332 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5333 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5334 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5335 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5336 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5337 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005338 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5339 bootm_mapsize.
5340
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005341 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005342 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5343 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5344 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5345 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5346 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5347 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005348
5349 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5350 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5351 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5352 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5353 environment variable.
5354
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005355 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5356 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5357 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5358
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005359 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5360 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5361 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5362 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005363
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005364 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5365 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5366 be automatically started (by internally calling
5367 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005368
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005369 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5370 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5371 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5372 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5373 data.

David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005375 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5376 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005377 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5378 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5379 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5380 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5381 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5382 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5383 access it during the boot procedure.
5384
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005385 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5386 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5387 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5388 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5389 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5390 must be accessible by the kernel.
5391
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005392 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5393 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5394 defined.
5395
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005396 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5397 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5398 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5399 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5400 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5401
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005402 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5403 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5404 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5405 is usually what you want since it allows for
5406 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5407 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005408 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005409 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5410 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5411 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5412 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005413
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005414 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5415 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5416 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5417 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5418 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5419 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005420
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005421 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005422
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005423 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5424 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5425 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5426 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5427 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5428 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5429 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005456 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5457 available network interfaces.
5458 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5459
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005460 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005461 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5462 When set to "once" the network operation will
5463 fail when all the available network interfaces
5464 are tried once without success.
5465 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5466 themselves.

Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005470 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005471 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5472 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5473 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5474 is silent.
5475
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005476 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005477 UDP source port.
5478
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005479 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5480 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5481
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005482 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5483 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5484
5485 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5486 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5487 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5488 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5489 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5490 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5491 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5492
5493 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005494 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005497The following image location variables contain the location of images
5498used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5499not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5500variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5501server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5502loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5503flash or offset in NAND flash.
5504
5505*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5506boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5507boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005520 bootfile - see above
5521 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5522 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5523 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5524 hostname - Target hostname
5525 ipaddr - see above

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005531There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005532
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005533 serial# - contains hardware identification information such

5535 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005536
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005537These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5538the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5539once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005540
5541
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005542Further special Environment Variables:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005544 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5545 with the "version" command. This variable is

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005553Callback functions for environment variables:
5554---------------------------------------------
5555
5556For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005557when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005558be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5559deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5560effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5561
5562The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5563U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5564
5565These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5566static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5567in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5568associations. The list must be in the following format:
5569
5570 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5571 list = entry[,list]
5572
5573If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5574Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5575
5576Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5577with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5578override any association in the static list. You can define
5579CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005580".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005586There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5587the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005588
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005589Old, simple command line parser:
5590--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005591
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005592- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5593- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005594- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005595- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5596 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005597 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005598- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5599 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005600

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005604- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5605 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5606 until...do...done, ...
5607- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5608 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5609 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5610 command

wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005614
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005615(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5616 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5617 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5618 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005619
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005620(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005621 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005622 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5623 variables are not executed.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005625Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5626=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005627
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005628Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005629such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5630"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005631
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005632Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5633MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5634"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005635
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005636If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5637in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5638ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5639variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005640
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005641o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5642 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005643
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005644o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5645 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5646 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005647
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005648o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5649 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005650
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005651o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5652 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a

5668images in two formats:
5669
5670New uImage format (FIT)
5671-----------------------
5672
5673Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5674to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5675components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5676SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5677
5678
5679Old uImage format
5680-----------------
5681
5682Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5683preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5684details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005705Linux Support:
5706==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005707
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005708Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5709easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5710U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005711
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005712U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5713special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5714"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5715instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5716serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005717
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005718- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5719 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5720 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005721
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005722- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5723 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005724
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005725- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5726 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5727 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5728 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5729 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5730 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005731
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005732
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005733Linux HOWTO:
5734============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005735
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005736Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5737---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005738
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005739U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5740configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5741(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5742Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005743
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005744But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005745
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005746Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5747include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005748Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5749and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005750as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005751
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005752Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5753If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5754is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5755doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005757
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005758Configuring the Linux kernel:
5759-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005760
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005761No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5762device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005763
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005764
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005765Building a Linux Image:
5766-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005767
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005768With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5769not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5770"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5771U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5772which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5773100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005774
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005775Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005776
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005777 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005778 make oldconfig
5779 make dep
5780 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005781
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005782The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5783encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5784CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005785
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005786* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005787
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005788* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005789

5791 -R .note -R .comment \
5792 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005793
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005794* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005795
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005796 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005797
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005798* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005799
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005800 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5801 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5802 -d linux.bin.gz uImage

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005804
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005805The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5806with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5807combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5808byte header containing information about target architecture,
5809operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5810stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005811
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005812"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5813print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005814
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005815In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5816contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5817checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005818
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005819 tools/mkimage -l image
5820 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005821
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005822The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5823from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005824
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005825 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5826 -n name -d data_file image
5827 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5828 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5829 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5830 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5831 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5832 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5833 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5834 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005835
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005836Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5837address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5838kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005839
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005840- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5841- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005842
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005843So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005844

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005910To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5911you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005912
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005913 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005914
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005915The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5916image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5917address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5918specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5919command.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006087More About U-Boot Image Types:
6088------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006089
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006090U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006091
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006092 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6093 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6094 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6095 the Standalone Program.
6096 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6097 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6098 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6099 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6100 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6101 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6102 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6103 being started.
6104 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6105 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6106 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6107 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6108 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6109 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006110
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006111 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6112 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6113 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6114 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6115 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6116 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006117
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006118 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6119 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6120 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006121
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006122 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6123 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6124 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6125 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006126
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00006127Booting the Linux zImage:
6128-------------------------
6129
6130On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6131using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6132as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6133
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04006134Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00006135kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6136address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6137format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

6141=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006142
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006143One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6144run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6145U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006146

6153application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6154It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6155like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006181Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6182handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6183Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6184The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6185character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6186controlled by the following keys:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006231Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6232"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6233consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6234Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6235especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006252Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6253(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006254
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006255Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6256NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6257need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6258Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6259attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6260missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006261
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006262 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6263 # mkdir powerpc
6264 # ln -s powerpc machine
6265 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6266 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006267
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006268Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6269and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006270
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006271Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6272stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6273proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6274tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6279=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006280
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006281The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6282implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6283inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6284hardware.

6288---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006289
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006290The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6291starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6292system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6293This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6294is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6295at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6296options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6297models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6298MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6299locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006301 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006309 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6310 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6311 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6312 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6313 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006314 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006315 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6316 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006317
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006318 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6319 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006320 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006321 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6322 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6323 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6324 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006325
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006326 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006327 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6328 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006329 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006330 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6331 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6332 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6333 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6334 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006339It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6340code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006341
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006342* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6343 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006344
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006345* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006346 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6347 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006348
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006349* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6350 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006351
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006352Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006353normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006354turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6355simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6356functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6357functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6358the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6359place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6360reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006361
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006362When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6363relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6364GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006365
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006366For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6367 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006368 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006369 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6370 R5-R10: parameter passing
6371 R13: small data area pointer
6372 R30: GOT pointer
6373 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006375 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6376 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6377 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006381 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6382 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6383 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6384 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6385 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6386 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006434Memory Management:
6435------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006436
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006437U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6438MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006439
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006440The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6441controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6442memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6443physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006444
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006445U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6446TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6447booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6448to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006449memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006450configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6451Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006452
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006453Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6454of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006455
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006456So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006479System Initialization:
6480----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006481
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006482In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006483(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006484configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006485To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6486To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6487initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6488which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6489part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6490the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006491
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006492Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6493preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6494(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6495on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6496programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6497simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6498banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006499
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006500When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6501different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6502bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
65030x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6504contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006505
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006506Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6507and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6508Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6509pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006510
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006511Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6512until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6513running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6514new address in RAM.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006607Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6608- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006609- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006610- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006611- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006632
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006633* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6634 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6635 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006636
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006637* For new features: a description of the feature and your

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006640* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006641
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006642* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006650* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6651 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006652 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006653 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6654 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006656 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6657 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6658 GNU diff.

6661 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6662 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6663 affected files).
6664
6665 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6666 and compressed attachments must not be used.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006675Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006676
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006677* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6678 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6679 for any of the boards.
6680
6681* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6682 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6683 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006684
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006685* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6686 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6687 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6688 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6689 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6690 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006691
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006692* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6693 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6694 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6695 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
