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 +0000224Software Configuration:
225=======================
226
227Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
228rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
229
230There are two classes of configuration variables:
231
232* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
233 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
234 "CONFIG_".
235
236* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
237 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
238 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200239 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000240
241Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
242identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
243do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
244links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
245as an example here.
246
247
248Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
249---------------------------------------------------
250
251For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
252configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
253
254Example: For a TQM823L module type:
255
256 cd u-boot
257 make TQM823L_config
258
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200259For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000260e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
261directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
262
263
264Configuration Options:
265----------------------
266
267Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
268such information is kept in a configuration file
269"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
270
271Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
272"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
273
274
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000275Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
276kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
277build a config tool - later.
278
279
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000280The following options need to be configured:
281

Prabhakar Kushwahaa6a30622012-04-29 23:56:13 +0000373 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
374
375 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
376 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
377 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
378 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
379 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
380 purpose.
381
Scott Wood80806962012-08-14 10:14:53 +0000382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510

390
391 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
392 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
393
394 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
395 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
396 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
397 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
398
399 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
400 this erratum.

487
Aneesh Vb8e40802012-03-08 07:20:19 +0000488 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
489
490 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
491 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides

499 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
500
501 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
502 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
503 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
504 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
505 set these options unless they apply!
506
Stephen Warren445d56c2013-03-27 17:06:41 +0000507- CPU timer options:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000515 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
516
517 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
518 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
519 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
520 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
521 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
522 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
523 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000524 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100525 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

564
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200565 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
566
567 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
568 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
569 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
570 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
571 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
572 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
573
Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000574 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
575
576 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
577 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
578 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
579 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
580 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
581 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
582 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

636 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
637 this variable to initialize the extra register.
638
639 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
640
641 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000703 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
704 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
705 the "silent" environment variable. See
706 doc/README.silent for more information.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000708- Console Baudrate:
709 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
710 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200711 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100714- Console Rx buffer length
715 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
716 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100717 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100718 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
719 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
720 the SMC.
721
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000722- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200723 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
724 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
725 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
726 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
727 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
728 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
729 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200730 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200731 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000732
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200733 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
734 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000735
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000736- Safe printf() functions
737 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
738 the printf() functions. These are defined in
739 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
740 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
741 If this option is not given then these functions will
742 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
743 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
744
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000745- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
746 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
747 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000748 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
749 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000750
751 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
752 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
753 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
754 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
755 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
756 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
757 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
758 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
759 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
760 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
761 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
762 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
763
764- Autoboot Command:
765 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
766 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
767 define a command string that is automatically executed
768 when no character is read on the console interface
769 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
770
771 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000772 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
773 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
774 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000775
776 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000777 The value of these goes into the environment as
778 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
779 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200780 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000781
782- Pre-Boot Commands:
783 CONFIG_PREBOOT
784
785 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
786 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
787 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
788 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
789 entering interactive mode.
790
791 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
792 automatically generated or modified. For an example
793 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
794 modified when the user holds down a certain
795 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
796 booting the systems
797
798- Serial Download Echo Mode:
799 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
800 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
801 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
802 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
803 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
804 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
805 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500813 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
814 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000815 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
816 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500817 and augmenting with additional #define's
818 for wanted commands.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000932
933 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500934 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000935 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
936 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
937 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
938 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
939 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
940 initial stack and some data.

943 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
944
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000945- Regular expression support:
946 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +0200947 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
948 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
949 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
950 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000951
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000952- Device tree:
953 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
954 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
955 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
956 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
957 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
958 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
959
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000960 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
961 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +0000962
963 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
964 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
965 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
966 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
967 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
968 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000969
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000970 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
971 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
972 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
973 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
974
975 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
976
977 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
978 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
979 still use the individual files if you need something more
980 exotic.
981
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000982- Watchdog:
983 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
984 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000985 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
986 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260

Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001300 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1301 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to

Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001303 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1304 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1305 a Linux host by
1306 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1307 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1308 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1309 might be defined in YourBoardName.h

Igor Grinbergac5f6ee2011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001365- ULPI Layer Support:
1366 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1367 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1368 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1369 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1370 viewport is supported.
1371 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1372 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001373 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1374 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1375 the appropriate value in Hz.

1409
Afzal Mohammede3c687a2013-09-18 01:15:24 +05301410 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1411 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1412 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1413 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1414 one that would help mostly the developer.
1415
Heiko Schochera2f831e2013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001416 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1417 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1418 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1419 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1420 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1421
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001422 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1423 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1424 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1425 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1426 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1427 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +00001439 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1440 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1441
1442 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001443 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +00001444 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1445 have not defined a custom partition

1618 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1619 is slow.

Tom Wai-Hong Tam79926a42012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001621 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1622
1623 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1624
Tom Wai-Hong Tam6664f202012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001625 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1626
1627 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1628 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1629
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001630- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001631
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001632 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1633 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1634 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001635 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001636 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1637 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1638 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1639 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001640
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001641 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1642
1643 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1644 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1645 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1646 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1647 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1648 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1649 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1650 there is no need to set this option.
1651
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001652 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1653
1654 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1655 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1656 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1657 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1658 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1659 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1660
1661 Example:
1662 setenv splashpos m,m
1663 => image at center of screen
1664
1665 setenv splashpos 30,20
1666 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1667
1668 setenv splashpos -10,m
1669 => vertically centered image
1670 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1671
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001672- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1673
1674 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1675 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1676 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1677
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001678- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1679
1680 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1681 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1682 bmp command.
1683
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001684- Do compresssing for memory range:
1685 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1686
1687 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1688 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1689
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001690- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001691 CONFIG_GZIP
1692
1693 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1694
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001695 CONFIG_BZIP2
1696
1697 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1698 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1699 compressed images are supported.
1700
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001701 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001702 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001703 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001704
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001705 CONFIG_LZMA
1706
1707 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1708 images is included.
1709
1710 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1711 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1712 formula:
1713
1714 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1715
1716 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1717 and Literal pos bits.
1718
1719 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1720 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1721 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1722 a very small buffer.
1723
1724 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1725 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001726 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001727
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001728 CONFIG_LZO
1729
1730 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1731 is included.
1732
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001733- MII/PHY support:
1734 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1735
1736 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1737
1738 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1739
1740 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1741
1742 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1743
1744 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001745 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001746
1747 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1748
1749 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1750 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1751 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1752 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1753
1754 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1755
1756 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1757 command issued before MII status register can be read

1780 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1781
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001782 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001786 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1787
1788 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1789 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1790
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001791- Gateway IP address:
1792 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1793
1794 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1795 default router where packets to other networks are
1796 sent to.
1797 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1798
1799- Subnet mask:
1800 CONFIG_NETMASK
1801
1802 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1803 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1804 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1805 forwarded through a router.
1806 (Environment variable "netmask")
1807
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001808- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1809 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1810
1811 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1812 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001813 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001814 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1815 multicast group.
1816
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001817- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1818 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1819
1820 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1821 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1822 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1823 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1824 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1825 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1826 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1827 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001828 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001829
1830 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1831 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1832 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1833 4th and following
1834 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001853
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001854 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1855 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001856
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001857 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1858 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1859 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1860 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1861 is not available.
1862
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001863 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1864 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1865 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1866 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1867 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1868 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1869 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001870 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001871
1872 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1873 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1874 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001875 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001876 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1877 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001878
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001879 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1880
1881 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1882 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1883 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1884 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1885 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1886 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1887 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1888 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1889 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1890 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1891 this delay.
1892
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001893 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1894 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1895 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1896 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1897 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1898
1899 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

1908 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1909 of the device.
1910
1911 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1912
1913 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1914 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001915 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001943- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1944
1945 Several configurations allow to display the current
1946 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1947 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1948 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1949 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1950 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1951 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1952 feature in U-Boot.
1953
1954- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1955
1956 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1957 on those systems that support this (optional)
1958 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2032
2033 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2034 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2035 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2036 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can

2038
2039 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2040 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.

2042 omit this define.
2043
2044 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2045 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2046 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2047 define.
2048
2049 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2050 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2051 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2052 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and

Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002080
2081 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2082 provides the following compelling advantages:
2083
2084 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2085 - approved multibus support
2086 - better i2c mux support
2087
2088 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002089
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002090 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2091 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2092 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002093
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002094 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002095 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002096 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2097 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002098 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002099
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002100 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002101
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002102 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002103 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002104
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002105 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002106 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002107 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002108 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002109
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002110 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002111 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002112 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2113 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2114 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002115
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002116 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2117
2118 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2119 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2120 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2121 commands until the slave device responds.
2122
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002123 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002124
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002125 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002126 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2127 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002128
2129 I2C_INIT
2130
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002131 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002132 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002133
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002134 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002135
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002136 I2C_PORT
2137
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002138 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2139 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2140 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002141
2142 I2C_ACTIVE
2143
2144 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2145 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2146 define can be null.
2147
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002148 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2149
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002150 I2C_TRISTATE
2151
2152 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2153 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2154 define can be null.
2155
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002156 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2157
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002158 I2C_READ
2159
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002160 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2161 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002162
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002163 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2164
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002165 I2C_SDA(bit)
2166
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002167 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2168 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002169
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002170 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \

wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002173
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002174 I2C_SCL(bit)
2175
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002176 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2177 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002178
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002179 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002180 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002181 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002182
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002183 I2C_DELAY
2184
2185 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2186 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002187 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002188 like:
2189
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002190 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002191
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002192 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2193
2194 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2195 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2196 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2197 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2198
2199 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2200 the generic GPIO functions.
2201
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002202 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002203
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002204 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2205 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2206 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2207 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2208 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2209 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2210 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2211 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002212
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002213 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2214
2215 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2216 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2217 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2218 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2219 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2220 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2221 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2222 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2223
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002224 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2225
2226 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2227 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2228 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2229
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002230 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2231
2232 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002233 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2234 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002235 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2236
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002237 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002238
2239 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002240 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002241 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2242 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002243
2244 e.g.
2245 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002246 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002247
2248 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2249
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002250 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002251 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002252
2253 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2254
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002255 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002256
2257 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2258 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.

2277
2278 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2279 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2280 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2281 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2282 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2283 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2284 the other.

2306 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2307 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2308 defined, the board configuration must define several
2309 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2310 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2386- Configuration Management:
2387 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2388
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002389 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2390 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002391
2392- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2393
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002394 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2395 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002396 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002397 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2398 protects these variables from casual modification by
2399 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2400 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002401 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002402
2403 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2404 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002405 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002406 these parameters.
2407
2408 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2409 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002410 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002411 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2412 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2413 read-only.]
2414
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002415 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2416 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2417 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2418 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2419
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002420- Protected RAM:
2421 CONFIG_PRAM
2422
2423 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2424 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2425 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2426 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2427 this default value by defining an environment
2428 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2429 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2430 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2431 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2432 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2433 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2434 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2435
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002436 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002437 saveenv
2438
2439 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2440 either, which results in a memory region that will
2441 not be affected by reboots.
2442
2443 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2444 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2445 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2446 following board configurations are known to be
2447 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002453- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2454 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2455 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2456 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2457 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2458 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2459 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2460
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002461- Error Recovery:
2462 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2463
2464 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2465 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2466 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002467 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002468 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2469 useful during development since you can try to debug
2470 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2471
2472 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2473
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002474 This variable defines the number of retries for
2475 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2476 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2477 default value of 5 is used.

2482
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002483 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2484
2485 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.

2498
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002499 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002500
2501 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2502 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2503 powerful command line syntax like
2504 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2505 constructs ("shell scripts").
2506
2507 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2508 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2509
2510
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002511 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002512
2513 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2514 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2515 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2516
2517 Note:
2518
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002519 In the current implementation, the local variables
2520 space and global environment variables space are
2521 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2522 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2523 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2524 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2525 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002526
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002527 Global environment variables are those you use
2528 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2529 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2530 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002531
2532 To store commands and special characters in a
2533 variable, please use double quotation marks
2534 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2535 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2536 symbols.

2546
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002547 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2548 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002549 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002550
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002551 For example, place something like this in your
2552 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002553
2554 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2555 "myvar1=value1\0" \

2557
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002558 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2559 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2560 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2561 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002562 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002563 You better know what you are doing here.

2573 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2574 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2575
2576 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2577

Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002584 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2585
2586 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2587 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2588 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2589
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002590 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2591
2592 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2593 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2594 that so that the environment is not available until
2595 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2596 this is instead controlled by the value of
2597 /config/load-environment.

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002599- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002600 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2601
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002602 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2603 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2604 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002605
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002606- Serial Flash support
2607 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2608
2609 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2610 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2611
2612 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2613 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2614 commands.
2615
2616 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2617 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2618 flash is present on the system.
2619
2620 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2621 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2622 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2623 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2624
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002625 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2626
2627 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2628 test ('sf test').
2629
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekic6d173d2013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302630 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2631
2632 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2633 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2634
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002635- SystemACE Support:
2636 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2637
2638 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2639 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002640 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002641 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002642
2643 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002644 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002645
2646 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2647 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2648
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002649- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2650 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2651
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002652 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002653 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002654 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002655 number generator is used.
2656
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002657 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2658 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2659 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2660
2661 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002662 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2663 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2664 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2665 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2666 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2667 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2668
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002669- Hashing support:
2670 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2671
2672 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2673 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2674
2675 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2676
2677 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2678 size a little.
2679
2680 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2681 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2682
2683 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2684 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2685
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002686- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2687 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2688 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2689 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2690
2691 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2692 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2693 a boot from specific media.
2694
2695 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2696 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2697 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2698 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2699 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2700
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002701- Signing support:
2702 CONFIG_RSA
2703
2704 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2705 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2706
2707 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2708 option.
2709
2710
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002711- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002712 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2713
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002714 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2715 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2716 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2717 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2718 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2719 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002720
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002721- Detailed boot stage timing
2722 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2723 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2724 of the boot process.
2725
2726 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2727 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2728 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2729 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2730 the limit, recording will stop.
2731
2732 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2733 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2734
2735 Timer summary in microseconds:
2736 Mark Elapsed Stage
2737 0 0 reset
2738 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2739 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2740 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2741 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2742 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2743 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2744 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2745
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002746 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2747 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2748 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2749
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002750 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2751 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2752 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2753 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2754 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2755 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2756 For example:
2757
2758 bootstage {
2759 154 {
2760 name = "board_init_f";
2761 mark = <3575678>;
2762 };
2763 170 {
2764 name = "lcd";
2765 accum = <33482>;
2766 };
2767 };
2768
2769 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2954 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2955 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2956 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2957 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2958 configured panel size.

3254
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003255 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3256 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3257 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003258 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003259 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3260 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3261 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003262
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003263 If there are no modem init strings in the
3264 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3265 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003266 suppressed, though.

3271------------------------------
3272
3273During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3274to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3275before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3276following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3277architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3278typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003313- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003314 If the board specific function
3315 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3316 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003317 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3318
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003319- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003329- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003330 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003331
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003332- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:

3334 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3335
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003336- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3337 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003338 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003339 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003340 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3341 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3342 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003343 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003344 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003345 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003346
3347 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3348 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3349 be touched.
3350
3351 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3352 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3353 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3354 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3355 problems.

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003377 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3378 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3379 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3380 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003381
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003382- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003383 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3384
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003385- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003386 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3387 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003388 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003389 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3390
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003391- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:

Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003396 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003397 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003398 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003399 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3400 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3401 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003402
John Rigbyeea8e692010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003403- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:

3413 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3414 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3415
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003416- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:

3433
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003434- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003435 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3436 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3437
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003438- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003439
3440 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3441 without this option such a download has to be
3442 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3443 copy from RAM to flash.
3444
3445 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3446 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003447 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3448 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003449 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3450
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003451- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

3454
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD8d94c232008-08-13 01:40:42 +02003455- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003456 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3457 in the drivers directory
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003458
Piotr Ziecik3e939e92008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003459- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3460 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3461 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3462 to the MTD layer.
3463
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003464- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski183284f2008-04-03 13:36:02 +02003465 Use buffered writes to flash.
3466
3467- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3468 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3469 write commands.
3470
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003471- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roesec443fe92005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003472 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3473 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3474 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3475 optionally available.
3476
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003477- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3478 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3479 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3480 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3481
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003482- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3483 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3484 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3485 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3486 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3487 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3488 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3489 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3490
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003491- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003492 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3493 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003494 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all

3508- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003509 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003510 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3511 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3512 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3513
3514 The format of the list is:
3515 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003516 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]

3519 list = entry[,list]
3520
3521 The type attributes are:
3522 s - String (default)
3523 d - Decimal
3524 x - Hexadecimal
3525 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3526 i - IP address
3527 m - MAC address
3528
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003529 The access attributes are:

3534
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003535 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3536 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3537 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3538
3539 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3540 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3541 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3542 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3543 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3544 ".flags" variable.
3545
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003546- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE

Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003550- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3551 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3552 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3553 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3554 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3555 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3556 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3557 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3558 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3559
Simon Glass9c9f44a2013-03-11 07:06:48 +00003560- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3561 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3562 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3563 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3564 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3565

3567 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3568 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3569 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003571The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3572of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3573following configurations:
3574
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003575- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3576
3577 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3578 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3579
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003580- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003581
3582 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3583
3584 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3585 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3586 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3587 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3588 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3589 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3590 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3591 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3592 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3593 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3594 between U-Boot and the environment.
3595
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003596 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003597
3598 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3599 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3600 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3601 for this sector is given here.
3602
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003603 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003605 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003606
3607 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3608 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003609 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003610
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003611 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003612
3613 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3614
3615
3616 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3617 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3618 the environment.
3619
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003620 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003621
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003622 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003623 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003624 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3625 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3626
3627 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3628 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3629 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3630 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3631 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3632 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3633 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3634 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3635 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3636
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003637 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3638 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003639
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003640 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003641 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003642 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003643 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003644
3645BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3646source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3647accordingly!
3648
3649
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003650- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003651
3652 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3653 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3654 environment.
3655
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003656 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3657 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003658
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003659 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003660 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3661 can just be read and written to, without any special
3662 provision.
3663
3664BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3665in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003666console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003667U-Boot will hang.
3668
3669Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3670environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3671keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3672to save the current settings.
3673
3674
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003675- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003676
3677 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3678 device and a driver for it.
3679
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003680 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3681 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003682
3683 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3684 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3685
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003686 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003687 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3688 The default address is zero.
3689
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003690 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003691 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3692 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3693 would require six bits.
3694
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003695 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003696 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003697 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003698
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003699 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003700 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3701 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3702
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003703 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003704 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3705 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3706 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3707 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3708 byte chips.
3709
3710 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3711 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3712 in the chip address.
3713
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003714 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003715 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3716
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003717 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3718 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3719 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3720
3721 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3722 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3723 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3724 EEPROM. For example:
3725
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003726 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003727
3728 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3729 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003733 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003734 want to use for the environment.

3738 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003739
3740 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3741 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3742 at the specified address.
3743
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003744- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3745
3746 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3747 want to use for the local device's environment.
3748
3749 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3750 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3751
3752 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3753 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3754 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003755 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003756
3757BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3758"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003759environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3760but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003767 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3768 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003769
3770 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003771 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3772 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003776 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003777 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3778 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003779 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003780 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3781
3782 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3783
3784 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3785 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3786 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3787 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3788 the range to be avoided.
3789
3790 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003791
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003792 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3793 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3794 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3795 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3796 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003798- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3799
3800 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3801 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3802 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3803
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003804- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3805
3806 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3807 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3808 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3809
3810 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3811
3812 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3813
3814 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3815
3816 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3817 environment in.
3818
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00003819 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3820
3821 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3822 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3823 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3824
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003825 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3826 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3827
3828 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3829 when storing the env in UBI.
3830
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003831- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3832
3833 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3834 environment.
3835
3836 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3837
3838 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3839
3840 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3841
3842 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3843 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3844 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3845
3846 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3847 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3848
3849 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3850 area within the specified MMC device.
3851
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003852 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3853 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3854 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3855 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3856 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3857 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3858 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3859
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003860 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3861 MMC sector boundary.
3862
3863 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3864
3865 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3866 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3867 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3868 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3869
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003870 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3871 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3872
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003873 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3874 an MMC sector boundary.
3875
3876 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3877
3878 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3879 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3880 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3881
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003882- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003883
3884 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3885 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3886 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3887 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3888 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3889 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3890 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3891
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003892Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003893has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02003894created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003895until then to read environment variables.
3896
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003897The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3898is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3899with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3900necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3901"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3902have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003903
3904Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3905the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003906use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003908- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003911 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00003912 also needs to be defined.
3913
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003914- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08003917- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:

3919 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3920 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3921 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3922 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

3926 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
3927 to do this.

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00003942
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003943 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
3944 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003947- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3948 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3949 PowerPC SOCs.
3950
3951- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3952 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3953 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3954
3955 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3956 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3957
3958- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3959 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3960 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003961 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003962 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3963 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3964 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3965
3966 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3967 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3968
3969- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003970 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3971 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003972 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3973 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3974
3975- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3976 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3977 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3978 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3979
3980- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3981 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3982 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004196- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4197 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4198
4199- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4200 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004201 to the given FEC; i. e.
4202 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004203 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4204
4205 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4206
4207- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4208 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4209 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4210
4211- CONFIG_RMII
4212 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4213 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4214 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4215
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004216- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4217 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4218 The syntax is:
4219
4220 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4221
4222 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4223 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the

4231 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4232 "md/mw" commands.
4233 Examples:
4234
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004235 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004236 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4237
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004238 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004239 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4240
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004241 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004242 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004244- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004245 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004246 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4247 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4248 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004249
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004250 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4251 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4252 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4253 these initializations itself.

4261 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4262 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4263 It is loaded by the SPL.
4264
Ying Zhang0d4f5442013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004265- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4266 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4267 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4268 previous 4k of the .text section.
4269
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004270- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4271 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4272 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4273 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4274 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4275 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4276 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4277 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4278
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004279- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4280 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4281 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4282 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4283 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4284
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004285- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4286 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4287 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Black14f82462012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004288
Mark Jackson52b003c2013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004289- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4290 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4291
4292 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.

Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004294Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4295-----------------------------------
4296
4297The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4298loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4299This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4300are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4301within that device.
4302
4303- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4304 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4305 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4306 is also specified.
4307
4308- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4309 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4310 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4311 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4312 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4313
4314- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4315 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4316 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4317 virtual address in NOR flash.
4318
4319- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4320 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4321 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4322
4323- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4324 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4325 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4326
4327- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4328 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4329 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4330
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004331- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4332 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4333 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004334 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4335 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4336 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004338Building the Software:
4339======================
4340
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004341Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4342and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4343all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4344(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4345recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4346which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004347
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004348If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4349have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4350you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4351Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4352necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004353
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004354 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4355 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004356
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004357Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4358 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4359 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4360 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4361
4362 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4363
4364 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4365 be executed on computers running Windows.
4366
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004367U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4368sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004369is done by typing:
4370
4371 make NAME_config
4372
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004373where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004374rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004375
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004376Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4377 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4378 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4379 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004380 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004381
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004382 make TQM823L_config
4383 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004384

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004390
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004391Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4392images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004393
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004394- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4395- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4396- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004397
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004398By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4399in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4400this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4401
44021. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4403
4404 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4405 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4406 make O=/tmp/build all
4407
44082. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4409
4410 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4411 make distclean
4412 make NAME_config
4413 make all
4414
4415Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4416variable.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004419Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4420for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4421native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004422
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004423
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004424If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4425to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4426steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004427
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000044281. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004429 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4430 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000044312. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4432 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4433 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
44343. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4435 your board
44363. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4437 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
44384. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
44395. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4440 to be installed on your target system.
44416. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4442 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004445Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4446==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004447
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004448If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4449or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004450provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4451the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004452official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004453
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004454But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4455cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004456the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4457just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004458for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4459select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4460environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4461you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004462
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004463 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004464
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004465or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004466
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004467 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004468
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004469When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4470U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4471setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4472built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4473<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4474location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4475variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004476
4477 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4478 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4479 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4480
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004481With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4482log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4483during the whole build process.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004546Environment Variables:
4547======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004548
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004549U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4550can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004551
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004552Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4553"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4554without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4555environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4556working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4557environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004559Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4560
4561List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004562
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004563 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004564
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004565 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004566
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004567 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004568
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004569 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004570
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004571 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004572
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004573 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4574 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4575 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4576 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4577 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4578 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004579 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4580 bootm_mapsize.
4581
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004582 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004583 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4584 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4585 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4586 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4587 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4588 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004589
4590 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4591 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4592 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4593 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4594 environment variable.
4595
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004596 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4597 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4598 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4599
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004600 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4601 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4602 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4603 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004604
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004605 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4606 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4607 be automatically started (by internally calling
4608 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004609
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004610 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4611 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4612 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4613 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4614 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004615
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004616 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4617 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004618 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4619 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4620 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4621 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4622 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4623 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4624 access it during the boot procedure.
4625
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004626 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4627 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4628 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4629 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4630 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4631 must be accessible by the kernel.
4632
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004633 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4634 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4635 defined.
4636
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004637 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4638 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4639 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4640 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4641 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4642
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004643 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4644 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4645 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4646 is usually what you want since it allows for
4647 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4648 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004649 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004650 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4651 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4652 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4653 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004654
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004655 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4656 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4657 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4658 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4659 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4660 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004661
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004662 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004663
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004664 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4665 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4666 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4667 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4668 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4669 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4670 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004671
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004672 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004673
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004674 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",

Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004697 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4698 available network interfaces.
4699 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4700
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004701 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004702 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4703 When set to "once" the network operation will
4704 fail when all the available network interfaces
4705 are tried once without success.
4706 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4707 themselves.

Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004711 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4712 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4713 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4714 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4715 is silent.

4719
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004720 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4721 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4722
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004723 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4724 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4725
4726 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4727 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4728 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4729 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4730 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4731 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4732 with unreliable TFTP servers.

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004738The following image location variables contain the location of images
4739used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4740not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4741variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4742server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4743loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4744flash or offset in NAND flash.
4745
4746*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4747boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4748boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004757The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4758updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4759depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004760
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004761 bootfile - see above
4762 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4763 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4764 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4765 hostname - Target hostname
4766 ipaddr - see above
4767 netmask - Subnet Mask
4768 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4769 serverip - see above

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004772There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004773
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004774 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4775 as type string and/or serial number
4776 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004777
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004778These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4779the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4780once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004781
4782
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004783Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004784
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004785 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4786 with the "version" command. This variable is
4787 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004788
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004789
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004790Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4791only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004794Callback functions for environment variables:
4795---------------------------------------------
4796
4797For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4798when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4799be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4800deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4801effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4802
4803The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4804U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4805
4806These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4807static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4808in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4809associations. The list must be in the following format:
4810
4811 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4812 list = entry[,list]
4813
4814If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4815Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4816
4817Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4818with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4819override any association in the static list. You can define
4820CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4821".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4822
4823
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004824Command Line Parsing:
4825=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004826
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004827There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4828the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004829
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004830Old, simple command line parser:
4831--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004832
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004833- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4834- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004835- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004836- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4837 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004838 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004839- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4840 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004841
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004842Hush shell:
4843-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004844
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004845- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4846 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4847 until...do...done, ...
4848- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4849 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4850 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4851 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004852
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004853General rules:
4854--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004855
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004856(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4857 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4858 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4859 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004860
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004861(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004862 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004863 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4864 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004865
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004866Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4867=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004868
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004869Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004870such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4871"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004872
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004873Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4874MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4875"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004876
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004877If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4878in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4879ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4880variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004881
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004882o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4883 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004884
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004885o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4886 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4887 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004888
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004889o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4890 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004891
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004892o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4893 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4894 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004895
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004896o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4897 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004898
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004899If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004900will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004901may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4902The naming convention is as follows:
4903"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004904
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004905Image Formats:
4906==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004907
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01004908U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4909images in two formats:
4910
4911New uImage format (FIT)
4912-----------------------
4913
4914Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4915to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4916components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4917SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4918
4919
4920Old uImage format
4921-----------------
4922
4923Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4924preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4925details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004926

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004946Linux Support:
4947==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004948
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004949Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4950easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4951U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004952
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004953U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4954special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4955"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4956instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4957serves several purposes:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004959- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4960 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4961 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004962
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004963- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4964 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004965
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004966- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4967 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4968 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4969 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4970 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4971 software is easier now.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004974Linux HOWTO:
4975============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004976
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004977Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4978---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004979
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004980U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4981configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4982(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4983Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004984
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02004985But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004986
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004987Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4988include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02004989Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4990and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004991as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004992
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004993
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004994Configuring the Linux kernel:
4995-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004996
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004997No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4998device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004999
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005000
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005001Building a Linux Image:
5002-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005003
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005004With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5005not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5006"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5007U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5008which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5009100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005010
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005011Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005012
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005013 make TQM850L_config
5014 make oldconfig
5015 make dep
5016 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005017
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005018The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5019encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5020CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005021
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005022* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005023
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005024* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005025
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005026 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5027 -R .note -R .comment \
5028 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005029
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005030* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005031
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005032 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005033
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005034* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005035
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005036 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5037 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5038 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005039
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005040
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005041The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5042with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5043combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5044byte header containing information about target architecture,
5045operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5046stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005047
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005048"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5049print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005050
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005051In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5052contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5053checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005054
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005055 tools/mkimage -l image
5056 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005057
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005058The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5059from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005060
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005061 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5062 -n name -d data_file image
5063 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5064 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5065 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5066 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5067 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5068 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5069 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5070 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005071
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005072Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5073address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5074kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005075
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005076- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5077- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005078
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005079So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005080

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005134Installing a Linux Image:
5135-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005136
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005137To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5138you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005139
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005140 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005141
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005142The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5143image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5144address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5145specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5146command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005147
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005148Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005314More About U-Boot Image Types:
5315------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005316
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005317U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005318
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005319 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5320 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5321 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5322 the Standalone Program.
5323 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5324 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5325 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5326 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5327 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5328 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5329 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5330 being started.
5331 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5332 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5333 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5334 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5335 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5336 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005337
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005338 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5339 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5340 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5341 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5342 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5343 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005344
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005345 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5346 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5347 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005348
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005349 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5350 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5351 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5352 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005353
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005354Booting the Linux zImage:
5355-------------------------
5356
5357On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5358using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5359as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5360
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005361Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005362kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5363address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5364format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5368=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005369
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005370One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5371run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5372U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005373
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005374Two simple examples are included with the sources:

5377-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005378
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005379'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5380application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5381It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5382like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005408Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5409handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5410Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5411The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5412character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5413controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005414
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005415 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5416 b - enable interrupts and start timer

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005458Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5459"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5460consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5461Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5462especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
Karl O. Pinca0189bb2012-10-01 05:11:56 +00005463use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005479Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5480(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005481
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005482Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5483NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5484need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5485Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5486attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5487missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005488

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005495Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5496and U-Boot include files.

5499stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5500proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005508The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5509implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5510inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5511hardware.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005514Initial Stack, Global Data:
5515---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005516
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005517The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5518starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5519system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5520This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5521is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5522at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5523options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5524models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5525MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5526locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005528 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005536 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5537 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5538 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5539 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5540 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005541 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005542 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5543 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005544
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005545 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5546 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005547 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005548 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5549 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5550 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5551 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005552
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005553 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005554 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5555 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005556 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005557 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5558 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5559 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5560 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5561 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005566It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5567code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005568
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005569* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5570 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005571
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005572* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005573 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5574 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005575
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005576* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5577 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005578
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005579Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5580normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5581turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5582simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5583functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5584functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5585the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5586place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5587reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005588
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005589When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5590relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5591GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005592
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005593For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5594 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005595 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005596 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5597 R5-R10: parameter passing
5598 R13: small data area pointer
5599 R30: GOT pointer
5600 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005601
Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005602 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5603 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5604 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005607
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005608 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5609 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5610 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5611 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5612 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5613 624 text + 127 data).

5625 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005626 R11: argument (frame) pointer
5627 R12: temporary workspace
5628 R13: stack pointer
5629 R14: link register
5630 R15: program counter

5633
5634 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.

Thomas Chou8fa38582010-05-21 11:08:03 +08005636On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:

5638
5639 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5640
5641 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5642 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5643
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00005644On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5645
5646 R0-R1: argument/return
5647 R2-R5: argument
5648 R15: temporary register for assembler
5649 R16: trampoline register
5650 R28: frame pointer (FP)
5651 R29: global pointer (GP)
5652 R30: link register (LP)
5653 R31: stack pointer (SP)
5654 PC: program counter (PC)
5655
5656 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5657
Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005658NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5659or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005661Memory Management:
5662------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005663
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005664U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5665MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005666
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005667The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5668controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5669memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5670physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005671
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005672U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5673TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5674booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5675to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005676memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005677configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5678Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005679
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005680Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5681of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005682
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005683So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5684this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005685
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005686 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5687 :

5690 :

5695 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5696 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data

5699 0x00FD FFFF
5700 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5701 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5702 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5703 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005706System Initialization:
5707----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005708
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005709In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005710(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005711configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5712To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5713To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5714initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5715which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5716part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5717the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005718
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005719Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5720preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5721(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5722on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5723programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5724simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5725banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005726
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005727When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5728different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5729bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
57300x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5731contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005732
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005733Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5734and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5735Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5736pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005737
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005738Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5739until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5740running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5741new address in RAM.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005818Coding Standards:
5819-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005820
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005821All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005822coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005823"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005824
5825Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5826MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5827reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5828sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005829
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005830Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5831Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5832in your code.
wdenkad276f22004-01-04 16:28:35 +00005833
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005834Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5835- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005836- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005837- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005838- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005839- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005840
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005841Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5842with a request to reformat the changes.

5846-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005847
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005848Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5849establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5850may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005851
Magnus Liljaf3b287b2008-08-06 19:32:33 +02005852Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005853
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005854Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5855see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5856
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005857When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5858it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005859
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005860* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5861 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5862 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005863
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005864* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5865 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005866
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005867* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005868
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005869* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005870
Albert ARIBAUD48e910f2013-09-11 15:52:51 +02005871* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
5872 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005873
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005874* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5875 document these in the README file.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005876
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005877* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5878 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005879 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005880 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5881 with some other mail clients.
wdenkca9bc762003-07-15 07:45:49 +00005882
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005883 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5884 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5885 GNU diff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005886
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005887 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5888 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5889 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5890 affected files).
5891
5892 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5893 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005894
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005895* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5896 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00005897
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005898* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5899 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005902Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005903
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005904* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5905 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5906 for any of the boards.
5907
5908* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5909 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5910 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005911
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005912* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5913 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5914 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5915 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5916 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5917 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00005918
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005919* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5920 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5921 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5922 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
