24Summary:
25========
26
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000027This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
wdenkce4832c2004-10-17 21:12:06 +000028Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31code.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000032
33The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000034the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
35header files in common, and special provision has been made to
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000036support booting of Linux images.
37
38Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
39configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
43load and run it dynamically.
44
45
46Status:
47=======
48
49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000050Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000051"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000228Software Configuration:
229=======================
230
231Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
232rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
233
234There are two classes of configuration variables:
235
236* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
237 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
238 "CONFIG_".
239
240* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
241 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
242 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200243 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000244
245Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
246identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
247do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
248links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
249as an example here.
250
251
252Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
253---------------------------------------------------
254
255For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
256configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
257
258Example: For a TQM823L module type:
259
260 cd u-boot
261 make TQM823L_config
262
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200263For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000264e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
265directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
266
267
268Configuration Options:
269----------------------
270
271Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
272such information is kept in a configuration file
273"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
274
275Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
276"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
277
278
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000279Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
280kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
281build a config tool - later.
282
283
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000284The following options need to be configured:

wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +0000347 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
348 of relying on the correctness of the configured
349 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
350 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
351 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200352 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)

360 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
361
362 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
363 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
364 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.

wdenk9b7f3842003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000385- Linux Kernel Interface:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000386 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
387
388 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
389 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
390 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
391 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
392 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
393 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
394 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000395 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100396 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000397 default environment.

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200433 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500434 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
435
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200436 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
437
438 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
439 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
440 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
441 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
442 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
443 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
444
Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000445 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
446
447 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
448 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
449 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
450 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
451 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
452 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
453 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

457 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
458 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
459 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
460
461 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
462 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
463 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
464 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
465
466 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
467
468 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"

495 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
496 the clock speed of the UARTs.
497
498 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
499
500 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
501 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
502 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
503
John Rigby34e21ee2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000504 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
505
506 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
507 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
508 this variable to initialize the extra register.
509
510 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
511
512 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
513 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
514 variable to flush the UART at init time.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000518 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
519 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
520 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
521 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000522
523 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100581- Console Rx buffer length
582 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
583 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100584 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100585 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
586 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
587 the SMC.
588
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000589- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
590 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
591 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
592
593 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
594 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.

604 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
605
606- Autoboot Command:
607 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
608 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
609 define a command string that is automatically executed
610 when no character is read on the console interface
611 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
612
613 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000614 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
615 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
616 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000617
618 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000619 The value of these goes into the environment as
620 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
621 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200622 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000623
624- Pre-Boot Commands:
625 CONFIG_PREBOOT
626
627 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
628 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
629 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
630 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
631 entering interactive mode.
632
633 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
634 automatically generated or modified. For an example
635 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
636 modified when the user holds down a certain
637 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
638 booting the systems
639
640- Serial Download Echo Mode:
641 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
642 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
643 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
644 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
645 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
646 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
647 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

744 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
745 support you can write:
746
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500747 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
748 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000749
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400750 Other Commands:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000752
753 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500754 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000755 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
756 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
757 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
758 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
759 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
760 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000761
762
763 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
764
765- Watchdog:
766 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
767 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000768 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
769 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
770 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
771 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
772 available, then no further board specific code should
773 be needed to use it.
774
775 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
776 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
777 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
778 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000779
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +0000780- U-Boot Version:
781 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
782 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
783 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
784 version as printed by the "version" command.
785 This variable is readonly.
786
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000787- Real-Time Clock:
788
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500789 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000790 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the

815 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
816 pins supported by a particular chip.
817
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -0600818 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
819 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
820
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000821- Timestamp Support:
822
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000823 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
824 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
825 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500826 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000827
828- Partition Support:
829 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION

833 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
834 least one partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000835
836- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +0000837 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
838 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000839
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +0000840 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
841 be performed by calling the function
842 ide_set_reset(int reset)
843 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000844

wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001217
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001218 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1219 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1220 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001221 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001222 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1223 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1224 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1225 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001226
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001227 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1228
1229 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1230 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1231 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1232 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1233 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1234 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1235
1236 Example:
1237 setenv splashpos m,m
1238 => image at center of screen
1239
1240 setenv splashpos 30,20
1241 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1242
1243 setenv splashpos -10,m
1244 => vertically centered image
1245 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1246
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001247- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1248
1249 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1250 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1251 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1252
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001253- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1254
1255 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1256 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1257 bmp command.
1258
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001259- Compression support:
1260 CONFIG_BZIP2
1261
1262 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1263 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1264 compressed images are supported.
1265
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001266 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001267 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001268 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001269
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001270 CONFIG_LZMA
1271
1272 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1273 images is included.
1274
1275 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1276 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1277 formula:
1278
1279 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1280
1281 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1282 and Literal pos bits.
1283
1284 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1285 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1286 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1287 a very small buffer.
1288
1289 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1290 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001291 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

1304 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001305 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001306
1307 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1308
1309 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1310 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1311 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1312 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1313
1314 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001327 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1328 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001329 is not determined automatically.
1330
1331- IP address:
1332 CONFIG_IPADDR
1333
1334 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001335 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001336 determined through e.g. bootp.
1337
1338- Server IP address:
1339 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1340
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001341 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001342 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1343
Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001344 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1345
1346 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1347 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1348
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001349- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1350 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1351
1352 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1353 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001354 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001355 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1356 multicast group.
1357
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001358- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1359 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1360
1361 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1362 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1363 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1364 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1365 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1366 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1367 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1368 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001369 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001370
1371 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1372 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1373 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1374 4th and following
1375 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1376
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001377- DHCP Advanced Options:
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001378 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1379 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001380
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001381 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1382 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1383 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME

1389 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1390 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1391 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1392 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001393
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001394 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1395 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001396
1397 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1398 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1399 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1400 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1401 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1402 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1403 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001404 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001405
1406 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1407 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1408 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001409 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001410 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1411 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001412
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001413 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1414
1415 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1416 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1417 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1418 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1419 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1420 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1421 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1422 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1423 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1424 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1425 this delay.
1426
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001427 - CDP Options:
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00001428 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001429
1430 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1431
1432 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1433
1434 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1435 of the device.
1436
1437 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1438
1439 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1440 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001441 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001442
1443 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1444
1445 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1446 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1447
1448 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1449
1450 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1451
1452 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1453
1454 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1455
1456 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1457
1458 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1459
1460 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1461
1462 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1463 device in .1 of milliwatts.
1464
1465 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1466
1467 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1468
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001469- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1470
1471 Several configurations allow to display the current
1472 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1473 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1474 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1475 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1476 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1477 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1478 feature in U-Boot.
1479
1480- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1481
1482 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1483 on those systems that support this (optional)
1484 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1485
1486- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1487
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001488 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001489 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001490 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001491
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001492 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001493 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001494 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1495 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001496 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001497
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001498 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001499
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001500 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001501 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1502 support for I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001503
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001504 There are several other quantities that must also be
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001505 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001506
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001507 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001508 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001509 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001510 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001511
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05001512 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02001513 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05001514 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1515 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1516 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001517
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05001518 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1519
1520 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1521 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1522 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
1523 commands until the slave device responds.
1524
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001525 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001526
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001527 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1528 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1529 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001530
1531 I2C_INIT
1532
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001533 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001534 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001535
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001536 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001537
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001538 I2C_PORT
1539
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001540 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1541 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1542 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001543
1544 I2C_ACTIVE
1545
1546 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1547 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1548 define can be null.
1549
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001550 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1551
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001552 I2C_TRISTATE
1553
1554 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1555 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1556 define can be null.
1557
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001558 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1559
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001560 I2C_READ
1561
1562 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1563 FALSE if it is low.
1564
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001565 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1566
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001567 I2C_SDA(bit)
1568
1569 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1570 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1571
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001572 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001573 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001574 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001575
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001576 I2C_SCL(bit)
1577
1578 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1579 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1580
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001581 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001582 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001583 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001584
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001585 I2C_DELAY
1586
1587 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1588 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001589 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001590 like:
1591
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001592 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001593
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04001594 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1595
1596 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1597 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1598 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1599 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1600
1601 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1602 the generic GPIO functions.
1603
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001604 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001605
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001606 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1607 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1608 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1609 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1610 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1611 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1612 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1613 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001614
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04001615 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
1616
1617 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
1618 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
1619 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
1620 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
1621 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
1622 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
1623 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
1624 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
1625
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001626 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1627
1628 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1629 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1630 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1631
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001632 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1633
1634 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
1635 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1636 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001639 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001640
1641 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05001642 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1643 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1644 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001645
1646 e.g.
1647 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001648 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001649

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001654
1655 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1656
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001657 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001658
1659 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1660 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1661
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001662 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001663
1664 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1665 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1666
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001667 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001668
1669 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
1670 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
1671
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001672 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07001673
1674 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
1675 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
1676 specified DTT device.
1677
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001678 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
1679
1680 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
Marcel Ziswileraea68562007-12-30 03:30:46 +01001681 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001682
Heiko Schocher6ee861b2008-10-15 09:39:47 +02001683 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
1684
1685 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
1686 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
1687 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
1688 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
1689 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
1690 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
1691
1692 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
1693 feature!
1694
1695 Example:
1696 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
1697 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
1698 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
1699
1700 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
1701
1702 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
1703 of I2C Busses with muxes:
1704
1705 => i2c bus
1706 Busses reached over muxes:
1707 Bus ID: 2
1708 reached over Mux(es):
1709 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
1710 Bus ID: 3
1711 reached over Mux(es):
1712 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
1713 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
1714 =>
1715
1716 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
1717 u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable
1718 channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable
1719 the channel 4.
1720
1721 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
1722 usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind
1723 the 2 muxes.
1724
1725 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
1726 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
1727 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
1728 to add this option to other architectures.
1729
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06001730 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
1731
1732 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
1733 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
1734 between writing the address pointer and reading the
1735 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
1736 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
1737 devices can use either method, but some require one or
1738 the other.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001758 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
1759 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
1760 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
1761 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
1762 defined, the board configuration must define several
1763 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
1764 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001843 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
1844 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001845
1846- Vendor Parameter Protection:
1847
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001848 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
1849 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001850 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001851 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
1852 protects these variables from casual modification by
1853 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
1854 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001855 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001856
1857 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
1858 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001859 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001860 these parameters.
1861
1862 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
1863 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001864 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001865 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
1866 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
1867 read-only.]
1868
1869- Protected RAM:
1870 CONFIG_PRAM
1871
1872 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
1873 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
1874 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
1875 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
1876 this default value by defining an environment
1877 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
1878 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
1879 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
1880 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
1881 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
1882 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
1883 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
1884
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01001885 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001886 saveenv
1887
1888 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
1889 either, which results in a memory region that will
1890 not be affected by reboots.
1891
1892 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
1893 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
1894 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
1895 following board configurations are known to be
1896 "pRAM-clean":
1897
1898 ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
1899 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001901
1902- Error Recovery:
1903 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
1904
1905 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
1906 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
1907 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001908 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001909 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
1910 useful during development since you can try to debug
1911 the conditions that lead to the situation.
1912
1913 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
1914
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001915 This variable defines the number of retries for
1916 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
1917 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
1918 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001919
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02001920 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
1921
1922 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.

wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00001926
1927 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
1928
Wolfgang Denk018147d2006-11-27 15:32:42 +01001929 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
1930 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02001931
1932
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001933 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001934
1935 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
1936 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
1937 powerful command line syntax like
1938 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
1939 constructs ("shell scripts").
1940
1941 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
1942 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
1943
1944
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001945 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001946
1947 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
1948 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
1949 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
1950
1951 Note:
1952
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001953 In the current implementation, the local variables
1954 space and global environment variables space are
1955 separated. Local variables are those you define by
1956 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
1957 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
1958 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
1959 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001960
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001961 Global environment variables are those you use
1962 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
1963 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
1964 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001965
1966 To store commands and special characters in a
1967 variable, please use double quotation marks
1968 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
1969 of the backslashes before semicolons and special

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00001978- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001979 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
1980
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001981 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
1982 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001983 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00001984
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001985 For example, place something like this in your
1986 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001987
1988 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
1989 "myvar1=value1\0" \
1990 "myvar2=value2\0"
1991
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001992 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
1993 internal format how the environment is stored by the
1994 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
1995 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001996 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001997 You better know what you are doing here.
1998
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001999 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2000 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002001 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002002 boot command first.

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002004- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002005 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2006
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002007 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2008 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2009 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002010
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002011- SystemACE Support:
2012 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2013
2014 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2015 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002016 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002017 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002018
2019 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002020 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002021
2022 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2023 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2024
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002025- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2026 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2027
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002028 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002029 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002030 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002031 number generator is used.
2032
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002033 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2034 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2035 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2036
2037 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002038 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2039 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2040 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2041 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2042 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2043 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2044
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002045- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002046 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2047
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002048 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2049 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2050 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2051 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2052 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2053 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002054
Wolfgang Denk33a57342011-02-04 14:25:17 +01002055- Standalone program support:
2056 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
2057
2058 This option allows to define board specific values
2059 for the address where standalone program gets loaded,
2060 thus overwriting the architecutre dependent default
2061 settings.
2062
Minkyu Kang50777c42011-04-24 22:22:34 +00002063- Frame Buffer Address:
2064 CONFIG_FB_ADDR
2065
2066 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific address for
2067 frame buffer.
2068 Then system will reserve the frame buffer address to defined address
2069 instead of lcd_setmem (this function grab the memory for frame buffer
2070 by panel's size).
2071
2072 Please see board_init_f function.
2073
2074 If you want this config option then,
2075 please define it at your board config file

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002264 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
2265 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002266
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002267- Interrupt support (PPC):
2268
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002269 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2270 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002271 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002272 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002273 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002274 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002275 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002276 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2277 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2278 general timer_interrupt().
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002279
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002280- General:
2281
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002282 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2283 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2284 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002285 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002286 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2287 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2288 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002289
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002290 If there are no modem init strings in the
2291 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2292 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002293 suppressed, though.

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002327 If the board specific function
2328 extern int overwrite_console (void);
2329 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002330 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
2331
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002332- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002342- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002343 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002344
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002345- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:

2347 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
2348
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002349- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
2350 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002351 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002352 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002353 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2354 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2355 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002356 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002357 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002358 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002359
2360 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2361 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2362 be touched.
2363
2364 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2365 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2366 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2367 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
2368 problems.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002392- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002393 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
2394 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
2395 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
2396 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002397
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002398- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:

2400
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002401- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01002402 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2403 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002404 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01002405 to adjust this setting to your needs.
2406

2411 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
2412 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
2413 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00002414 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
2415 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
2416 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
2417 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002418
John Rigbyeea8e692010-10-13 13:57:35 -06002419- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
2420 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
2421 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
2422 is enabled.
2423
2424- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
2425 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
2426 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2427
2428- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
2429 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
2430 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2431
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002432- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:

2449
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002450- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00002451 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
2452 instead of U-Boot software protection.
2453
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002454- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002455
2456 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2457 without this option such a download has to be
2458 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2459 copy from RAM to flash.
2460
2461 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2462 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002463 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2464 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002465 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2466
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002467- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00002469 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
2470
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD8d94c232008-08-13 01:40:42 +02002471- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00002472 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
2473 in the drivers directory
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002474
Piotr Ziecik3e939e92008-11-17 15:57:58 +01002475- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
2476 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
2477 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
2478 to the MTD layer.
2479
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002480- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski183284f2008-04-03 13:36:02 +02002481 Use buffered writes to flash.
2482
2483- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
2484 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
2485 write commands.
2486
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002487- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roesec443fe92005-11-22 13:20:42 +01002488 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
2489 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
2490 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
2491 optionally available.
2492
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05002493- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
2494 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
2495 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
2496 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
2497
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002498- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002499 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
2500 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002501 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
2502 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002503 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002504 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

2509 internally to store the environment settings. The default
2510 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
2511 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
2512 lib/hashtable.c for details.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002514The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
2515of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
2516following configurations:
2517
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02002518- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002519
2520 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
2521
2522 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
2523 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
2524 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
2525 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
2526 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
2527 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
2528 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
2529 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
2530 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
2531 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
2532 between U-Boot and the environment.
2533
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002534 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002535
2536 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
2537 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
2538 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
2539 for this sector is given here.
2540
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002541 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002542
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002543 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002544
2545 This is just another way to specify the start address of
2546 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002547 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002548
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002549 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002550
2551 Size of the sector containing the environment.
2552
2553
2554 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
2555 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
2556 the environment.
2557
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002558 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002559
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02002560 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002561 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002562 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
2563 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
2564
2565 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
2566 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
2567 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
2568 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
2569 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
2570 updating the environment in flash makes it always
2571 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
2572 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
2573 RAM, your target system will be dead.
2574
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002575 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
2576 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002577
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002578 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002579 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00002580 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002581 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002582
2583BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
2584source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
2585accordingly!
2586
2587
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02002588- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002589
2590 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
2591 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
2592 environment.
2593
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002594 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
2595 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002596
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002597 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002598 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
2599 can just be read and written to, without any special
2600 provision.
2601
2602BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
2603in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002604console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002605U-Boot will hang.
2606
2607Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
2608environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
2609keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
2610to save the current settings.
2611
2612
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02002613- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002614
2615 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
2616 device and a driver for it.
2617
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002618 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2619 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002620
2621 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
2622 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
2623
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002624 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002625 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
2626 The default address is zero.
2627
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002628 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002629 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
2630 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
2631 would require six bits.
2632
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002633 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002634 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002635 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002636
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002637 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002638 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
2639 that this is NOT the chip address length!
2640
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002641 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00002642 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
2643 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
2644 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
2645 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
2646 byte chips.
2647
2648 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
2649 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
2650 in the chip address.
2651
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002652 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002653 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
2654
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01002655 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
2656 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
2657 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
2658
2659 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
2660 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
2661 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
2662 EEPROM. For example:
2663
Wolfgang Denk16fa98a2010-06-13 17:48:15 +02002664 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0"
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01002665
2666 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
2667 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002668
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD2b14d2b2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02002669- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00002670
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002671 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00002672 want to use for the environment.
2673
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002674 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2675 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
2676 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00002677
2678 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
2679 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
2680 at the specified address.
2681
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDdda84dd2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02002682- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00002683
2684 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
2685 for the environment.
2686
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002687 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2688 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00002689
2690 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05002691 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
2692 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00002693
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05002694 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002695
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002696 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05002697 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
2698 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
2699 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
2700 aligned to an erase block boundary.
2701
2702 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
2703
2704 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
2705 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
2706 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
2707 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
2708 the range to be avoided.
2709
2710 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002711
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05002712 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
2713 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
2714 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
2715 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
2716 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002717
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02002718- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
2719
2720 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
2721 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
2722 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
2723
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002724- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002725
2726 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
2727 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
2728 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
2729 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
2730 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
2731 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
2732 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
2733
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07002734Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002735has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02002736created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002737until then to read environment variables.
2738
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002739The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
2740is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
2741with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
2742necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
2743"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
2744have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002745
2746Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
2747the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002748use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002749
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002750- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002751 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00002752
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002753 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00002754 also needs to be defined.
2755
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002756- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08002759- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
2760 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
2761 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
2762 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
2763 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
2764 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002835 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
2836 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002837 data is located at the end of the available space
Wolfgang Denk1c2e98e2010-10-26 13:32:32 +02002838 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002839 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002846 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003041Building the Software:
3042======================
3043
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003044Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3045and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3046all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3047(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3048recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3049which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003051If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3052have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3053you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3054Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3055necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003056
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003057 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3058 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003059
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05003060Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3061 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3062 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3063 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
3064
3065 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3066
3067 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3068 be executed on computers running Windows.
3069
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003070U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3071sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003072is done by typing:
3073
3074 make NAME_config
3075
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003076where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
3077rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00003078
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003079Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3080 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3081 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3082 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003083 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003084
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003085 make TQM823L_config
3086 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003087
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003088 make TQM823L_LCD_config
3089 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003090
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003091 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003092
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003093
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003094Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3095images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003096
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003097- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3098- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3099- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003100
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003101By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3102in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3103this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3104
31051. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3106
3107 make O=/tmp/build distclean
3108 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
3109 make O=/tmp/build all
3110
31112. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
3112
3113 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3114 make distclean
3115 make NAME_config
3116 make all
3117
3118Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
3119variable.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003121
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003122Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3123for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3124native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003125
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003126
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003127If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3128to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3129steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003130
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000031311. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
3132 "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
3133 entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
3134 boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
3135 keep this order.
31362. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3137 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3138 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
31393. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3140 your board
31413. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3142 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
31434. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
31445. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3145 to be installed on your target system.
31466. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3147 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003150Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
3151==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003152
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003153If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3154or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003155provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3156the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003157official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003158
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003159But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3160cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003161the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3162just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003163for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
3164select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
3165environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
3166you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003167
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003168 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003169
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003170or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003171
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003172 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003173
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003174When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
3175U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
3176setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
3177built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
3178<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
3179location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
3180variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003181
3182 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3183 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
3184 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3185
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003186With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
3187log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
3188during the whole build process.

3247
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003248Environment Variables:
3249======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003250
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003251U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
3252can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003253
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003254Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
3255"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
3256without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
3257environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
3258working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
3259environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003260
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003261Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
3262
3263List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003264
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003265 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003266
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003267 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003268
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003269 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003270
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003271 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003272
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003273 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003274
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003275 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3276 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3277 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
3278 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
3279 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
3280 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003281 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
3282 bootm_mapsize.
3283
3284 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
3285 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
3286 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
3287 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
3288 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
3289 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
3290 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003291
3292 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3293 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3294 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
3295 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
3296 environment variable.
3297
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02003298 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
3299 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
3300 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
3301
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003302 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
3303 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
3304 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
3305 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003306
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003307 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3308 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3309 be automatically started (by internally calling
3310 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003311
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003312 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3313 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3314 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3315 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3316 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003317
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00003318 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3319 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3320 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3321 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3322 it must be saved and board must be reset.
3323
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003324 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
3325 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3326 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3327 is usually what you want since it allows for
3328 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3329 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003330 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003331 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3332 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3333 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3334 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003335
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003336 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3337 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3338 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3339 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3340 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3341 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003342
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003343 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003344
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003345 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3346 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3347 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3348 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3349 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3350 boot time on your system, but requires that this
3351 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

3401 we use the TFTP server's default block size
3402
3403 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
3404 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
3405 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
3406 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
3407 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
3408 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
3409 with unreliable TFTP servers.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003419 bootfile - see above
3420 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
3421 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
3422 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
3423 hostname - Target hostname
3424 ipaddr - see above
3425 netmask - Subnet Mask
3426 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
3427 serverip - see above

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003430There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003431
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003432 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
3433 as type string and/or serial number
3434 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003435
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003436These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
3437the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
3438once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003439
3440
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003441Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003442
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003443 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
3444 with the "version" command. This variable is
3445 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003447
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003448Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
3449only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

3453=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003454
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003455There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
3456the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003457
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003458Old, simple command line parser:
3459--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003460
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003461- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
3462- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003463- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003464- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
3465 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003466 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003467- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
3468 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003469
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003470Hush shell:
3471-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003472
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003473- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
3474 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
3475 until...do...done, ...
3476- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
3477 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
3478 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
3479 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003480
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003481General rules:
3482--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003483
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003484(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
3485 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
3486 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
3487 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003488
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003489(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003490 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003491 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
3492 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003493
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003494Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
3495=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003496
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003497Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003498such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
3499"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003500
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003501Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
3502MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
3503"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003504
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003505If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
3506in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
3507ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
3508variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003509
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003510o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
3511 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003512
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003513o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
3514 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
3515 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003516
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003517o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
3518 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003519
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003520o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
3521 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
3522 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003523
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003524o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
3525 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003526
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07003527If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
3528will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
3529may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
3530The naming convention is as follows:
3531"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003532
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003533Image Formats:
3534==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003535
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01003536U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
3537images in two formats:
3538
3539New uImage format (FIT)
3540-----------------------
3541
3542Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
3543to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
3544components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
3545SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
3546
3547
3548Old uImage format
3549-----------------
3550
3551Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
3552preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
3553details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003554

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003573
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003574Linux Support:
3575==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003576
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003577Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
3578easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
3579U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003580
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003581U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
3582special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
3583"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
3584instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
3585serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003586
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003587- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
3588 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
3589 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003590
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003591- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
3592 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003593
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003594- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
3595 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
3596 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
3597 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
3598 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
3599 software is easier now.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003602Linux HOWTO:
3603============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003604
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003605Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
3606---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003607
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003608U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
3609configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
3610(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
3611Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003612
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02003613But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003615Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
3616include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02003617Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
3618and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003619as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003622Configuring the Linux kernel:
3623-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003624
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003625No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
3626device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003627
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003628
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003629Building a Linux Image:
3630-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003631
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003632With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
3633not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
3634"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
3635U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
3636which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
3637100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003638
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003639Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003640
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003641 make TQM850L_config
3642 make oldconfig
3643 make dep
3644 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003645
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003646The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
3647encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
3648CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003649
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003650* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003651
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003652* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003653
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003654 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
3655 -R .note -R .comment \
3656 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003657
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003658* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003659
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003660 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003661
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003662* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003663
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003664 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
3665 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
3666 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003667
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003668
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003669The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
3670with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
3671combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
3672byte header containing information about target architecture,
3673operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
3674stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003675
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003676"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
3677print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003678
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003679In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
3680contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
3681checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003682
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003683 tools/mkimage -l image
3684 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003685
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003686The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
3687from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003688
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003689 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
3690 -n name -d data_file image
3691 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
3692 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
3693 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
3694 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
3695 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
3696 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
3697 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
3698 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003699
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00003700Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
3701address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
3702kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003703
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003704- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
3705- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003706
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003707So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003708

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003762Installing a Linux Image:
3763-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003764
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003765To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
3766you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003767
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003768 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003769
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003770The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
3771image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
3772address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
3773specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
3774command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003775
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003776Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003942More About U-Boot Image Types:
3943------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003944
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003945U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003946
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003947 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
3948 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
3949 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
3950 the Standalone Program.
3951 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
3952 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
3953 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
3954 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
3955 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
3956 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
3957 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
3958 being started.
3959 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
3960 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
3961 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
3962 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
3963 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
3964 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003965
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003966 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
3967 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
3968 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
3969 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
3970 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
3971 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003972
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003973 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
3974 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
3975 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00003976
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003977 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
3978 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
3979 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
3980 as command interpreter.

3984=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003985
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003986One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
3987run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
3988U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003989
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003990Two simple examples are included with the sources:
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00003991
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003992"Hello World" Demo:
3993-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003994
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003995'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
3996application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
3997It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
3998like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004024Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
4025handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4026Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4027The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4028character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4029controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004030
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004031 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
4032 b - enable interrupts and start timer

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004074Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
4075"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
4076consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
4077Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
4078especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
4079use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).

4090=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004091
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004092Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
4093(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004094
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004095Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
4096NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
4097need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
4098Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
4099attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
4100missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004101
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004102 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
4103 # mkdir powerpc
4104 # ln -s powerpc machine
4105 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4106 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004107
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004108Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4109and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004110
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004111Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4112stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4113proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4114tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

4119=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004120
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004121The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4122implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4123inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4124hardware.

4128---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004129
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004130The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4131starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4132system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4133This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4134is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4135at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4136options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4137models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4138MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4139locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004149 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4150 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4151 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
4152 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
4153 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004154 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004155 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
4156 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004160 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004161 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
4162 board designers haven't used it for something that would
4163 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
4164 used.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004166 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004167 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
4168 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02004169 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004170 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
4171 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
4172 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
4173 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
4174 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004179It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
4180code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004181
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004182* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
4183 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004184
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004185* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004186 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
4187 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004188
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004189* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
4190 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004191
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004192Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
4193normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
4194turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
4195simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
4196functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
4197functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
4198the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
4199place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
4200reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004201
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004202When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
4203relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
4204GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004205
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004206For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
4207 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01004208 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004209 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
4210 R5-R10: parameter passing
4211 R13: small data area pointer
4212 R30: GOT pointer
4213 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004214
Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01004215 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
4216 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
4217 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004218
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01004219 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004220
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004221 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
4222 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
4223 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
4224 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
4225 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
4226 624 text + 127 data).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004234
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004235 R0: function argument word/integer result

Thomas Chou8fa38582010-05-21 11:08:03 +08004247On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
4248 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
4249
4250 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
4251
4252 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
4253 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
4254
Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02004255NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
4256or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004258Memory Management:
4259------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004260
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004261U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
4262MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004263
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004264The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
4265controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
4266memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
4267physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004268
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004269U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
4270TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
4271booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
4272to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004273memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004274configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
4275Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004276
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004277Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
4278of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004279
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004280So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
4281this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004282
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004283 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
4284 :
4285 0x0000 1FFF
4286 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
4287 :
4288 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004289
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004290 :
4291 :
4292 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
4293 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
4294 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
4295 :
4296 0x00FD FFFF
4297 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
4298 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
4299 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
4300 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004301
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004302
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004303System Initialization:
4304----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004305
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004306In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004307(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004308configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
4309To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
4310To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
4311initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
4312which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
4313part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
4314the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004315
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004316Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
4317preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
4318(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
4319on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
4320programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
4321simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
4322banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004323
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004324When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
4325different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
4326bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
43270x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
4328contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004329
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004330Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
4331and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
4332Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
4333pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004334
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004335Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
4336until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
4337running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
4338new address in RAM.

Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02004429Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
4430Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
4431in your code.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004447Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
4448establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
4449may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.

4455
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004456When you send a patch, please include the following information with
4457it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004458
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004459* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
4460 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
4461 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004462
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004463* For new features: a description of the feature and your
4464 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004465
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004466* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004467
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004468* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004469
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004470* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
4471 board to the MAKEALL script, too.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004472
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004473* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
4474 document these in the README file.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004475
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004476* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
4477 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
4478 "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to
4479 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
4480 with some other mail clients.
wdenkca9bc762003-07-15 07:45:49 +00004481
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004482 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
4483 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
4484 GNU diff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004485
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004486 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
4487 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
4488 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
4489 affected files).
4490
4491 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
4492 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004493
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004494* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
4495 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00004496
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004497* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
4498 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004501Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004502
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004503* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
4504 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
4505 for any of the boards.
4506
4507* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
4508 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
4509 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004510
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004511* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
4512 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
4513 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
4514 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
4515 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
4516 modification.

Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01004518* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
4519 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
4520 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
4521 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
