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

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000225Software Configuration:
226=======================
227
228Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
230
231There are two classes of configuration variables:
232
233* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
235 "CONFIG_".
236
237* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200240 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000241
242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
246as an example here.
247
248
249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
250---------------------------------------------------
251
252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
254
255Example: For a TQM823L module type:
256
257 cd u-boot
258 make TQM823L_config
259
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
263
264
265Configuration Options:
266----------------------
267
268Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
269such information is kept in a configuration file
270"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
271
272Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
273"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
274
275
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000276Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
277kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
278build a config tool - later.
279
280
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000281The following options need to be configured:

Prabhakar Kushwahaa6a30622012-04-29 23:56:13 +0000374 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
375
376 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
377 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
378 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
379 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
380 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
381 purpose.
382
Scott Wood80806962012-08-14 10:14:53 +0000383 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510

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

488
Aneesh Vb8e40802012-03-08 07:20:19 +0000489 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
490
491 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
492 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
493 better code density. For ARM architectures that support

500 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
501
502 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
503 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
504 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
505 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
506 set these options unless they apply!
507
Stephen Warren445d56c2013-03-27 17:06:41 +0000508- CPU timer options:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000516 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
517
518 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
519 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
520 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
521 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
522 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
523 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
524 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000525 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100526 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

565
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200566 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
567
568 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
569 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
570 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
571 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
572 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
573 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
574
Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000575 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
576
577 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
578 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
579 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
580 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
581 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
582 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
583 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

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

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000704 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
705 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
706 the "silent" environment variable. See
707 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenk3da587e2003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000708
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000709- Console Baudrate:
710 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
711 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200712 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100715- Console Rx buffer length
716 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
717 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100718 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100719 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
720 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
721 the SMC.
722
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000723- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200724 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
725 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
726 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
727 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
728 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
729 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
730 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200731 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200732 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000733
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200734 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
735 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000736
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000737- Safe printf() functions
738 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
739 the printf() functions. These are defined in
740 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
741 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
742 If this option is not given then these functions will
743 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
744 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
745
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000746- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
747 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
748 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000749 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
750 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000751
752 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
753 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
754 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
755 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
756 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
757 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
758 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
759 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
760 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
761 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
762 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
763 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
764
765- Autoboot Command:
766 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
767 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
768 define a command string that is automatically executed
769 when no character is read on the console interface
770 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
771
772 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000773 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
774 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
775 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000776
777 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000778 The value of these goes into the environment as
779 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
780 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200781 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000782
783- Pre-Boot Commands:
784 CONFIG_PREBOOT
785
786 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
787 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
788 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
789 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
790 entering interactive mode.
791
792 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
793 automatically generated or modified. For an example
794 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
795 modified when the user holds down a certain
796 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
797 booting the systems
798
799- Serial Download Echo Mode:
800 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
801 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
802 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
803 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
804 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
805 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
806 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

813- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500814 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
815 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000816 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
817 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500818 and augmenting with additional #define's
819 for wanted commands.

925 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
926 support you can write:
927
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500928 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
929 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000930
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400931 Other Commands:
932 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000933
934 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500935 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000936 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
937 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
938 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
939 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
940 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
941 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000942
943
944 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
945
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000946- Regular expression support:
947 CONFIG_REGEX
948 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
949 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
950 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
951 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
952
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000953- Device tree:
954 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
955 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
956 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
957 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
958 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
959 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
960
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000961 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
962 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +0000963
964 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
965 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
966 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
967 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
968 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
969 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000970
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000971 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
972 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
973 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
974 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
975
976 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
977
978 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
979 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
980 still use the individual files if you need something more
981 exotic.
982
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000983- Watchdog:
984 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
985 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000986 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
987 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
988 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
989 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
990 available, then no further board specific code should
991 be needed to use it.
992

Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001304 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1305 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1306 a Linux host by
1307 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1308 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1309 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1310 might be defined in YourBoardName.h

Igor Grinbergac5f6ee2011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001366- ULPI Layer Support:
1367 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1368 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1369 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1370 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1371 viewport is supported.
1372 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1373 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001374 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1375 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1376 the appropriate value in Hz.

1412 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1413 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1414 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1415 one that would help mostly the developer.
1416
Heiko Schochera2f831e2013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001417 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1418 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1419 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1420 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1421 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1422
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001423 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1424 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1425 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1426 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1427 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1428 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

Tom Wai-Hong Tam79926a42012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001622 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1623
1624 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1625
Tom Wai-Hong Tam6664f202012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001626 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1627
1628 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1629 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1630
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001631- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001632
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001633 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1634 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1635 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001636 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001637 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1638 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1639 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1640 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001641
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001642 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1643
1644 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1645 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1646 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1647 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1648 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1649 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1650 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1651 there is no need to set this option.
1652
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001653 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1654
1655 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1656 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1657 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1658 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1659 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1660 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1661
1662 Example:
1663 setenv splashpos m,m
1664 => image at center of screen
1665
1666 setenv splashpos 30,20
1667 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1668
1669 setenv splashpos -10,m
1670 => vertically centered image
1671 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1672
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001673- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1674
1675 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1676 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1677 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1678
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001679- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1680
1681 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1682 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1683 bmp command.
1684
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001685- Do compresssing for memory range:
1686 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1687
1688 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1689 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1690
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001691- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001692 CONFIG_GZIP
1693
1694 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1695
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001696 CONFIG_BZIP2
1697
1698 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1699 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1700 compressed images are supported.
1701
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001702 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001703 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001704 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001705
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001706 CONFIG_LZMA
1707
1708 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1709 images is included.
1710
1711 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1712 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1713 formula:
1714
1715 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1716
1717 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1718 and Literal pos bits.
1719
1720 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1721 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1722 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1723 a very small buffer.
1724
1725 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1726 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001727 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001728
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001729 CONFIG_LZO
1730
1731 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1732 is included.
1733
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001734- MII/PHY support:
1735 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1736
1737 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1738
1739 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1740
1741 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1742
1743 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1744
1745 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001746 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001747
1748 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1749
1750 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1751 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1752 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1753 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1754
1755 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1756
1757 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1758 command issued before MII status register can be read
1759

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001768 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1769 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001770 is not determined automatically.
1771

1774
1775 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001776 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001777 determined through e.g. bootp.

1781 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1782
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001783 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001784 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001787 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1788
1789 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1790 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1791
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001792- Gateway IP address:
1793 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1794
1795 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1796 default router where packets to other networks are
1797 sent to.
1798 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1799
1800- Subnet mask:
1801 CONFIG_NETMASK
1802
1803 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1804 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1805 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1806 forwarded through a router.
1807 (Environment variable "netmask")
1808
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001809- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1810 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1811
1812 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1813 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001814 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001815 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1816 multicast group.
1817
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001818- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1819 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1820
1821 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1822 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1823 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1824 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1825 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1826 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1827 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1828 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001829 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001830
1831 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1832 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1833 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1834 4th and following
1835 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001853 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001854
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001855 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1856 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001857
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001858 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1859 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1860 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1861 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1862 is not available.
1863
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001864 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1865 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1866 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1867 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1868 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1869 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1870 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001871 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001872
1873 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1874 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1875 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001876 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001877 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1878 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001879
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001880 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1881
1882 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1883 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1884 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1885 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1886 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1887 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1888 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1889 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1890 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1891 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1892 this delay.
1893
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001894 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1895 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1896 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1897 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1898 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1899
1900 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

1905 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1906
1907 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1908
1909 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1910 of the device.
1911
1912 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1913
1914 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1915 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001916 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001917
1918 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES

1942 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1943
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001944- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1945
1946 Several configurations allow to display the current
1947 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1948 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1949 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1950 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1951 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1952 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1953 feature in U-Boot.
1954
1955- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1956
1957 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1958 on those systems that support this (optional)
1959 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2024
2025 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2026 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2027 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example

Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002056
2057 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2058 provides the following compelling advantages:
2059
2060 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2061 - approved multibus support
2062 - better i2c mux support
2063
2064 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002065
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002066 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2067 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2068 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002069
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002070 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002071 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002072 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2073 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002074 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002075
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002076 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002077
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002078 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002079 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002080
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002081 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002082 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002083 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002084 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002085
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002086 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002087 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002088 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2089 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2090 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002091
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002092 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2093
2094 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2095 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2096 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2097 commands until the slave device responds.
2098
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002099 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002100
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002101 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002102 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2103 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002104
2105 I2C_INIT
2106
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002107 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002108 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002109
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002110 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002111
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002112 I2C_PORT
2113
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002114 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2115 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2116 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002117
2118 I2C_ACTIVE
2119
2120 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2121 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2122 define can be null.
2123
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002124 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2125
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002126 I2C_TRISTATE
2127
2128 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2129 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2130 define can be null.
2131
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002132 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2133
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002134 I2C_READ
2135
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002136 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2137 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002138
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002139 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2140
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002141 I2C_SDA(bit)
2142
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002143 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2144 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002145
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002146 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002147 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002148 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002149
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002150 I2C_SCL(bit)
2151
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002152 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2153 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002154
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002155 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002156 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002157 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002158
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002159 I2C_DELAY
2160
2161 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2162 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002163 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002164 like:
2165
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002166 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002167
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002168 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2169
2170 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2171 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2172 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2173 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2174
2175 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2176 the generic GPIO functions.
2177
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002178 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002179
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002180 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2181 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2182 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2183 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2184 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2185 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2186 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2187 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002188
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002189 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2190
2191 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2192 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2193 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2194 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2195 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2196 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2197 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2198 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2199
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002200 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2201
2202 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2203 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2204 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2205
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002206 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2207
2208 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002209 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2210 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002211 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2212
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002213 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002214
2215 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002216 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002217 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2218 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002219
2220 e.g.
2221 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002222 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002223
2224 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2225
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002226 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002227 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002228
2229 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2230
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002231 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002232
2233 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2234 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2235
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002236 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002237
2238 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2239 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2240
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002241 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002242
2243 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2244 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2245
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002246 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002247
2248 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2249 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2250 specified DTT device.
2251
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002252 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2253
2254 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2255 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2256 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2257 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2258 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2259 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2260 the other.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002280 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2281 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2282 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2283 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2284 defined, the board configuration must define several
2285 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2286 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2289
2290 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2291 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2292 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.

2362- Configuration Management:
2363 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2364
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002365 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2366 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002367
2368- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2369
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002370 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2371 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002372 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002373 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2374 protects these variables from casual modification by
2375 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2376 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002377 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002378
2379 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2380 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002381 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002382 these parameters.
2383
2384 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2385 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002386 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002387 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2388 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2389 read-only.]
2390
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002391 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2392 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2393 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2394 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2395
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002396- Protected RAM:
2397 CONFIG_PRAM
2398
2399 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2400 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2401 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2402 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2403 this default value by defining an environment
2404 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2405 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2406 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2407 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2408 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2409 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2410 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2411
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002412 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002413 saveenv
2414
2415 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2416 either, which results in a memory region that will
2417 not be affected by reboots.
2418
2419 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2420 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2421 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2422 following board configurations are known to be
2423 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002429- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2430 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2431 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2432 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2433 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2434 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2435 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2436
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002437- Error Recovery:
2438 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2439
2440 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2441 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2442 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002443 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002444 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2445 useful during development since you can try to debug
2446 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2447
2448 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2449
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002450 This variable defines the number of retries for
2451 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2452 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2453 default value of 5 is used.

2458
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002459 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2460
2461 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2462 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2463 try longer timeout such as
2464 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

2474
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002475 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002476
2477 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2478 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2479 powerful command line syntax like
2480 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2481 constructs ("shell scripts").
2482
2483 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2484 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2485
2486
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002487 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002488
2489 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2490 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2491 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2492
2493 Note:
2494
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002495 In the current implementation, the local variables
2496 space and global environment variables space are
2497 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2498 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2499 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2500 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2501 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002502
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002503 Global environment variables are those you use
2504 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2505 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2506 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002507
2508 To store commands and special characters in a
2509 variable, please use double quotation marks
2510 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2511 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2512 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002521 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2522
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002523 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2524 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002525 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002526
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002527 For example, place something like this in your
2528 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002529
2530 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2531 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2532 "myvar2=value2\0"
2533
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002534 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2535 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2536 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2537 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002538 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002539 You better know what you are doing here.
2540
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002541 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2542 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002543 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002544 boot command first.

Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002546 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2547
2548 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2549 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2550 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2551
2552 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2553
2554 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2555 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2556 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2557 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2558 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2559
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002560 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2561
2562 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2563 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2564 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2565
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002566 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2567
2568 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2569 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2570 that so that the environment is not available until
2571 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2572 this is instead controlled by the value of
2573 /config/load-environment.

2577
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002578 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2579 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2580 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002581
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002582- Serial Flash support
2583 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2584
2585 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2586 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2587
2588 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2589 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2590 commands.
2591
2592 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2593 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2594 flash is present on the system.
2595
2596 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2597 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2598 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)

Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekic6d173d2013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302606 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2607
2608 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2609 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2610
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002611- SystemACE Support:
2612 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2613
2614 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2615 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002616 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002617 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002618
2619 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002620 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002621
2622 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2623 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2624
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002625- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2626 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2627
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002628 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002629 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002630 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002631 number generator is used.
2632
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002633 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2634 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2635 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2636
2637 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002638 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2639 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2640 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2641 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2642 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2643 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2644
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002645- Hashing support:
2646 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2647
2648 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2649 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2650
2651 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2652
2653 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2654 size a little.
2655
2656 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2657 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2658
2659 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2660 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2661
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002662- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2663 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2664 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2665 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2666
2667 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2668 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2669 a boot from specific media.
2670
2671 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2672 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2673 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2674 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2675 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2676
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002677- Signing support:
2678 CONFIG_RSA
2679
2680 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2681 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2682
2683 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2684 option.
2685
2686
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002687- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002688 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2689
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002690 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2691 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2692 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2693 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2694 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2695 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002696
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002697- Detailed boot stage timing
2698 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2699 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2700 of the boot process.
2701
2702 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2703 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2704 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2705 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2706 the limit, recording will stop.
2707
2708 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2709 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2710
2711 Timer summary in microseconds:
2712 Mark Elapsed Stage
2713 0 0 reset
2714 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2715 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2716 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2717 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2718 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2719 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2720 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2721
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002722 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2723 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2724 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2725
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002726 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2727 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2728 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2729 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2730 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2731 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2732 For example:
2733
2734 bootstage {
2735 154 {
2736 name = "board_init_f";
2737 mark = <3575678>;
2738 };
2739 170 {
2740 name = "lcd";
2741 accum = <33482>;
2742 };
2743 };
2744
2745 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2930 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2931 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2932 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2933 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2934 configured panel size.

Wolfgang Denk8f399b32011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003202[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003203
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003204- Modem support enable:

3208 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3209
3210- Modem debug support:
3211 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3212
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003213 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3214 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003215
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003216- Interrupt support (PPC):
3217
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003218 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3219 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003220 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003221 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003222 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003223 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003224 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003225 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3226 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3227 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003229- General:
3230
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003231 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3232 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3233 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003234 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003235 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3236 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3237 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003238
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003239 If there are no modem init strings in the
3240 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3241 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003242 suppressed, though.

3250to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3251before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3252following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003290 If the board specific function
3291 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3292 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003306 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003307
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003308- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5958f4a2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003309 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3310 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3311
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003312- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3313 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003314 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003315 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003316 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3317 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3318 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003319 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003320 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003321 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003322
3323 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3324 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3325 be touched.
3326
3327 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3328 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3329 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3330 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3331 problems.

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003353 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3354 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3355 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3356 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003357
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003358- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003359 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3360
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003361- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003362 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3363 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003364 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003365 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3366
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003367- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003368 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3369 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by

3371 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003372 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003373 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003374 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003375 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3376 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3377 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003378
John Rigbyeea8e692010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003379- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3380 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3381 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3382 is enabled.
3383
3384- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3385 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3386 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3387
3388- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3389 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3390 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3391
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003392- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003393 Max number of Flash memory banks
3394
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003395- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003398- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003399 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3400
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003401- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:

3409
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003410- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003411 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3412 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3413
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003414- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003415
3416 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3417 without this option such a download has to be
3418 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3419 copy from RAM to flash.
3420
3421 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3422 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003423 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3424 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003425 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3426
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003427- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003428 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the

3430
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD8d94c232008-08-13 01:40:42 +02003431- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003432 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3433 in the drivers directory
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003434
Piotr Ziecik3e939e92008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003435- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3436 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3437 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3438 to the MTD layer.
3439
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003440- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski183284f2008-04-03 13:36:02 +02003441 Use buffered writes to flash.
3442
3443- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3444 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3445 write commands.
3446
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003447- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roesec443fe92005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003448 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3449 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3450 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3451 optionally available.
3452
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003453- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3454 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3455 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3456 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3457
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003458- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3459 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3460 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3461 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3462 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3463 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3464 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3465 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3466
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003467- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003468 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3469 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003470 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3471 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003472 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003473 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3474

3516 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3517 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3518 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3519 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3520 ".flags" variable.
3521
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003522- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3523 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3524 access flags.
3525
Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003526- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3527 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3528 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3529 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3530 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3531 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3532 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3533 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3534 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3535
Simon Glass9c9f44a2013-03-11 07:06:48 +00003536- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3537 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3538 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3539 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3540 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3541
Lokesh Vutla100c2d82013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003542- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3543 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3544 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3545 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003547The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3548of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3549following configurations:
3550
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003551- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3552
3553 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3554 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3555
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003556- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003557
3558 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3559
3560 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3561 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3562 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3563 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3564 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3565 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3566 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3567 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3568 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3569 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3570 between U-Boot and the environment.
3571
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003572 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003573
3574 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3575 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3576 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3577 for this sector is given here.
3578
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003579 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003580
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003581 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003582
3583 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3584 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003585 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003586
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003587 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003588
3589 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3590
3591
3592 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3593 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3594 the environment.
3595
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003596 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003597
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003598 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003599 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003600 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3601 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3602
3603 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3604 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3605 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3606 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3607 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3608 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3609 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3610 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3611 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3612
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003613 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3614 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003615
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003616 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003617 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003618 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003619 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003620
3621BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3622source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3623accordingly!
3624
3625
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003626- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003627
3628 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3629 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3630 environment.
3631
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003632 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3633 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003634
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003635 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003636 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3637 can just be read and written to, without any special
3638 provision.
3639
3640BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3641in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003642console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003643U-Boot will hang.
3644
3645Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3646environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3647keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3648to save the current settings.
3649
3650
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003651- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003652
3653 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3654 device and a driver for it.
3655
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003656 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3657 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003658
3659 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3660 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3661
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003662 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003663 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3664 The default address is zero.
3665
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003666 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003667 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3668 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3669 would require six bits.
3670
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003671 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003672 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003673 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003674
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003675 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003676 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3677 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3678
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003679 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003680 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3681 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3682 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3683 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3684 byte chips.
3685
3686 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3687 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3688 in the chip address.
3689
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003690 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003691 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3692
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003693 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3694 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3695 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3696
3697 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3698 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3699 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3700 EEPROM. For example:
3701
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003702 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003703
3704 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3705 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003706
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD2b14d2b2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003707- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003708
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003709 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003710 want to use for the environment.
3711
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003712 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3713 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3714 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003715
3716 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3717 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3718 at the specified address.
3719
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003720- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3721
3722 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3723 want to use for the local device's environment.
3724
3725 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3726 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3727
3728 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3729 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3730 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003731 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003732
3733BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3734"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003735environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3736but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003737
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDdda84dd2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003738- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003739
3740 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3741 for the environment.
3742
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003743 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3744 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003745
3746 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003747 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3748 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003749
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003750 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003751
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003752 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003753 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3754 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003755 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003756 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3757
3758 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3759
3760 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3761 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3762 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3763 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3764 the range to be avoided.
3765
3766 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003767
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003768 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3769 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3770 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3771 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3772 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003773
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003774- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3775
3776 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3777 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3778 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3779
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003780- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3781
3782 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3783 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3784 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3785
3786 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3787
3788 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3789
3790 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3791
3792 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3793 environment in.
3794
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00003795 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3796
3797 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3798 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3799 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3800
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003801 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3802 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3803
3804 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3805 when storing the env in UBI.
3806
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003807- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3808
3809 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3810 environment.
3811
3812 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3813
3814 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3815
3816 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3817
3818 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3819 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3820 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3821
3822 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3823 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3824
3825 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3826 area within the specified MMC device.
3827
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003828 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3829 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3830 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3831 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3832 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3833 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3834 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3835
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003836 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3837 MMC sector boundary.
3838
3839 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3840
3841 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3842 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3843 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3844 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3845
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003846 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3847 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3848
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003849 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3850 an MMC sector boundary.
3851
3852 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3853
3854 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3855 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3856 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3857
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003858- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003859
3860 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3861 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3862 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3863 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3864 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3865 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3866 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3867
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003868Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003869has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02003870created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003871until then to read environment variables.
3872
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003873The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3874is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3875with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3876necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3877"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3878have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003879
3880Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3881the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003882use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00003918
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003919 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
3920 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003923- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3924 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3925 PowerPC SOCs.
3926
3927- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3928 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3929 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3930
3931 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3932 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3933
3934- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3935 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3936 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003937 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003938 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3939 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3940 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3941
3942 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3943 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3944
3945- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003946 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3947 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003948 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3949 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3950
3951- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3952 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3953 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3954 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3955
3956- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3957 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3958 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4136 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4137 a 16 bit bus.
4138 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
Fabio Estevam417052b2013-04-11 09:35:35 +00004139 Example of drivers that use it:

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004155 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4156 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4157 to something your driver can deal with.

York Sune73cc042011-06-07 09:42:16 +08004159- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4160 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4161 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4162 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4163 header files or board specific files.
4164
York Sunbd495cf2011-09-16 13:21:35 -07004165- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004168- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004169 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4170 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.

wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004172- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4173 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4174
4175- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4176 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004177 to the given FEC; i. e.
4178 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004179 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4180
4181 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4182
4183- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4184 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4185 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4186
4187- CONFIG_RMII
4188 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4189 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4190 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4191
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004192- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4193 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4194 The syntax is:
4195
4196 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4197
4198 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4199 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4200 area should have.
4201
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004202- CONFIG_LOOPW
4203 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004204 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004205
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004206- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4207 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4208 "md/mw" commands.
4209 Examples:
4210
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004211 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004212 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4213
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004214 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004215 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4216
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004217 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004218 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004219
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004220- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004221 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004222 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4223 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4224 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004225
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004226 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4227 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4228 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4229 these initializations itself.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004230
Aneesh V552a3192011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004231- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Lilja1ec96d82009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004232 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4233 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4234 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk336b2bc2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00004235
Ying Zhang2d2e3b62013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004236- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4237 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4238 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4239 It is loaded by the SPL.
4240
Ying Zhang0d4f5442013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004241- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4242 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4243 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4244 previous 4k of the .text section.
4245
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004246- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4247 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4248 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4249 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4250 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4251 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4252 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4253 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4254
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004255- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4256 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4257 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4258 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4259 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4260
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004261- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4262 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4263 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Black14f82462012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004264
Mark Jackson52b003c2013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004265- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4266 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4267
4268 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.

Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004270Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4271-----------------------------------
4272
4273The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4274loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4275This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4276are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4277within that device.
4278
4279- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4280 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4281 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4282 is also specified.
4283
4284- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4285 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4286 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4287 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4288 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4289
4290- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4291 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4292 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4293 virtual address in NOR flash.
4294
4295- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4296 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4297 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4298
4299- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4300 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4301 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4302
4303- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4304 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4305 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4306
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004307- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4308 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4309 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004310 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4311 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4312 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004314Building the Software:
4315======================
4316
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004317Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4318and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4319all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4320(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4321recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4322which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004323
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004324If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4325have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4326you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4327Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4328necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004329
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004330 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4331 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004332
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004333Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4334 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4335 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4336 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4337
4338 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4339
4340 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4341 be executed on computers running Windows.
4342
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004343U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4344sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004345is done by typing:
4346
4347 make NAME_config
4348
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004349where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004350rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004351
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004352Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4353 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4354 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4355 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004356 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004357
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004358 make TQM823L_config
4359 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004360
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004361 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4362 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004363
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004364 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004365
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004366
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004367Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4368images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004369
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004370- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4371- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4372- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004373
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004374By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4375in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4376this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4377
43781. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4379
4380 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4381 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4382 make O=/tmp/build all
4383
43842. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4385
4386 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4387 make distclean
4388 make NAME_config
4389 make all
4390
4391Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4392variable.
4393
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004394
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004395Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4396for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4397native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004398
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004399
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004400If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4401to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4402steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004403
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000044041. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004405 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4406 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000044072. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4408 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4409 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
44103. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4411 your board
44123. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4413 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
44144. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
44155. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4416 to be installed on your target system.
44176. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4418 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

4422==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004423
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004424If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4425or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004426provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4427the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004428official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004429
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004430But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4431cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004432the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4433just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004434for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4435select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4436environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4437you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004438
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004439 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004440
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004441or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004442
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004443 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004444
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004445When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4446U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4447setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4448built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4449<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4450location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4451variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004452
4453 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4454 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4455 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4456
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004457With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4458log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4459during the whole build process.

4521
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004522Environment Variables:
4523======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004524
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004525U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4526can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004527
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004528Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4529"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4530without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4531environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4532working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4533environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004534
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004535Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4536
4537List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004538
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004539 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004540
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004541 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004542
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004543 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004544
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004545 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004546
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004547 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004548
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004549 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4550 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4551 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4552 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4553 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4554 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004555 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4556 bootm_mapsize.
4557
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004558 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004559 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4560 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4561 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4562 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4563 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4564 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004565
4566 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4567 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4568 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4569 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4570 environment variable.
4571
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004572 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4573 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4574 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4575
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004576 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4577 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4578 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4579 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004580
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004581 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4582 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4583 be automatically started (by internally calling
4584 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004585
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004586 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4587 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4588 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4589 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4590 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004591
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004592 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4593 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004594 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4595 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4596 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4597 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4598 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4599 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4600 access it during the boot procedure.
4601
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004602 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4603 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4604 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4605 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4606 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4607 must be accessible by the kernel.
4608
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004609 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4610 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4611 defined.
4612
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004613 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4614 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4615 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4616 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4617 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4618
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004619 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4620 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4621 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4622 is usually what you want since it allows for
4623 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4624 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004625 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004626 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4627 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4628 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4629 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004630
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004631 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4632 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4633 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4634 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4635 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4636 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004637
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004638 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004639
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004640 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4641 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4642 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4643 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4644 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4645 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4646 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004647
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004648 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004663 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004664
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004665 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4666 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004667
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004668 => setenv ethact FEC
4669 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4670 => setenv ethact SCC
4671 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004672
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004673 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4674 available network interfaces.
4675 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4676
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004677 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004678 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4679 When set to "once" the network operation will
4680 fail when all the available network interfaces
4681 are tried once without success.
4682 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4683 themselves.

Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004687 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4688 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4689 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4690 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4691 is silent.
4692
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004693 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's

4695
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004696 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4697 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4698
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004699 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4700 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4701
4702 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4703 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4704 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4705 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4706 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4707 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4708 with unreliable TFTP servers.

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004714The following image location variables contain the location of images
4715used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4716not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4717variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4718server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4719loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4720flash or offset in NAND flash.
4721
4722*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4723boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4724boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004733The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4734updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4735depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004736
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004737 bootfile - see above

4740 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4741 hostname - Target hostname
4742 ipaddr - see above
4743 netmask - Subnet Mask
4744 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4745 serverip - see above

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004748There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004749
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004750 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4751 as type string and/or serial number
4752 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004753
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004754These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4755the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4756once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004757
4758
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004759Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004760
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004761 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4762 with the "version" command. This variable is
4763 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004764

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004766Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4767only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004770Callback functions for environment variables:
4771---------------------------------------------
4772
4773For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4774when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4775be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4776deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4777effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4778
4779The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4780U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4781
4782These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4783static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4784in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4785associations. The list must be in the following format:
4786
4787 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4788 list = entry[,list]
4789
4790If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4791Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4792
4793Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4794with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4795override any association in the static list. You can define
4796CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4797".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004800Command Line Parsing:
4801=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004802
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004803There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4804the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004805
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004806Old, simple command line parser:
4807--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004808
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004809- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4810- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004811- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004812- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4813 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004814 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004815- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4816 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004817
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004818Hush shell:
4819-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004820
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004821- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4822 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4823 until...do...done, ...
4824- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4825 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4826 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4827 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004828
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004829General rules:
4830--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004831
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004832(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4833 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4834 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4835 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004836
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004837(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004838 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004839 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4840 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004841
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004842Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4843=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004844
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004845Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004846such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4847"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004848
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004849Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4850MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4851"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004852
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004853If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4854in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4855ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4856variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004857
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004858o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4859 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004860
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004861o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4862 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4863 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004864
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004865o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4866 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004867
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004868o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4869 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4870 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004871
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004872o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4873 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004874
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004875If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004876will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004877may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4878The naming convention is as follows:
4879"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004880
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004881Image Formats:
4882==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004883
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01004884U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4885images in two formats:
4886
4887New uImage format (FIT)
4888-----------------------
4889
4890Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4891to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4892components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4893SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4894
4895
4896Old uImage format
4897-----------------
4898
4899Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4900preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4901details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004902

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004921
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004922Linux Support:
4923==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004924
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004925Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4926easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4927U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004928
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004929U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4930special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4931"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4932instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4933serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004934
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004935- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4936 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4937 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004938
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004939- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4940 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004941
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004942- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4943 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4944 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4945 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4946 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4947 software is easier now.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004950Linux HOWTO:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004952
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004953Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4954---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004955
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004956U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4957configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4958(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4959Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004960
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02004961But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004962
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004963Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4964include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02004965Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4966and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004970Configuring the Linux kernel:
4971-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004972
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004973No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4974device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004977Building a Linux Image:
4978-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004979
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004980With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4981not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4982"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4983U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4984which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4985100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004986
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004987Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004988
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004989 make TQM850L_config
4990 make oldconfig
4991 make dep
4992 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004993
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004994The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4995encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4996CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004997
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004998* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004999
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005000* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005001
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005002 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5003 -R .note -R .comment \
5004 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005005
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005006* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005007
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005008 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005009
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005010* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005011
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005012 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5013 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5014 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005015
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005016
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005017The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5018with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5019combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5020byte header containing information about target architecture,
5021operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5022stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005023
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005024"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5025print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005026
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005027In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5028contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5029checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005030
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005031 tools/mkimage -l image
5032 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005033
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005034The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5035from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005036
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005037 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5038 -n name -d data_file image
5039 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5040 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5041 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5042 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5043 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5044 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5045 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5046 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005047
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005048Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5049address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5050kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005051
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005052- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5053- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005054
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005055So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005056

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005110Installing a Linux Image:
5111-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005112
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005113To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5114you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005115
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005116 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005117
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005118The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5119image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5120address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5121specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5122command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005123
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005124Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5125TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005290More About U-Boot Image Types:
5291------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005292
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005293U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005294
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005295 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5296 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5297 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5298 the Standalone Program.
5299 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5300 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5301 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5302 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5303 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5304 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5305 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5306 being started.
5307 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5308 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5309 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5310 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5311 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5312 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005313
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005314 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5315 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5316 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5317 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5318 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5319 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005320
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005321 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5322 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5323 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005324
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005325 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5326 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5327 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5328 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005329
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005330Booting the Linux zImage:
5331-------------------------
5332
5333On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5334using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5335as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5336
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005337Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005338kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5339address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5340format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005343Standalone HOWTO:
5344=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005345
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005346One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5347run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5348U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005349
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005350Two simple examples are included with the sources:

5353-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005354
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005355'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5356application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5357It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5358like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005384Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5385handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5386Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5387The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5388character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5389controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005390
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005391 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5392 b - enable interrupts and start timer

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005434Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5435"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5436consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5437Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5438especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
Karl O. Pinca0189bb2012-10-01 05:11:56 +00005439use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See

5453=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005454
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005455Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5456(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005457
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005458Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5459NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5460need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5461Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5462attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5463missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005464
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005465 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5466 # mkdir powerpc
5467 # ln -s powerpc machine
5468 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5469 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005470
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005471Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5472and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005473
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005474Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5475stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5476proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5477tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005484The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5485implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5486inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5487hardware.

5491---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005492
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005493The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5494starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5495system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5496This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5497is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5498at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5499options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5500models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5501MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5502locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005512 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5513 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5514 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5515 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5516 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005518 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5519 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005521 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5522 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005523 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005524 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5525 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5526 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5527 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005528
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005529 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005530 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5531 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005532 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005533 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5534 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5535 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5536 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5537 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005542It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5543code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005544
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005545* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5546 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005547
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005548* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005549 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5550 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005551
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005552* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5553 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005554
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005555Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5556normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5557turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5558simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5559functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5560functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5561the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5562place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5563reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005564
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005565When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5566relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5567GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005568
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005569For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5570 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005571 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005572 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5573 R5-R10: parameter passing
5574 R13: small data area pointer
5575 R30: GOT pointer
5576 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005577
Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005578 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5579 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5580 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005583
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005584 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5585 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5586 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5587 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5588 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5589 624 text + 127 data).

5617 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5618 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005634NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5635or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005637Memory Management:
5638------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005639
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005640U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5641MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005642
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005643The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5644controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5645memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5646physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005647
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005648U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5649TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5650booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5651to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005652memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005653configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5654Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005655
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005656Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5657of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005658
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005659So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5660this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005661
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005662 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

5676 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5677 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5678 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5679 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005682System Initialization:
5683----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005684
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005685In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005686(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005687configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5688To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5689To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5690initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5691which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5692part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5693the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005694
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005695Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5696preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5697(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5698on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5699programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5700simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5701banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005702
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005703When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5704different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5705bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
57060x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5707contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005708
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005709Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5710and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5711Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5712pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005713
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005714Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5715until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5716running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5717new address in RAM.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005794Coding Standards:
5795-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005796
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005797All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005798coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005799"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005800
5801Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5802MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5803reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5804sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005805
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005806Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5807Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5808in your code.
wdenkad276f22004-01-04 16:28:35 +00005809
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005810Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5811- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005812- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005813- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005814- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005815- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005816
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005817Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5818with a request to reformat the changes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005821Submitting Patches:
5822-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005823
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005824Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5825establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5826may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005827
Magnus Liljaf3b287b2008-08-06 19:32:33 +02005828Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005829
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005830Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5831see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5832
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005833When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5834it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005835
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005836* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5837 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5838 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005839
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005840* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5841 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005842
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005843* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005844
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005845* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005846
Albert ARIBAUD48e910f2013-09-11 15:52:51 +02005847* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
5848 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005849
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005850* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5851 document these in the README file.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005852
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005853* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5854 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005855 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005856 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5857 with some other mail clients.
wdenkca9bc762003-07-15 07:45:49 +00005858
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005859 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5860 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5861 GNU diff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005862
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005863 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5864 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5865 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5866 affected files).
5867
5868 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5869 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005870
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005871* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5872 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00005873
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005874* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5875 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005876

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005878Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005879
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005880* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5881 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5882 for any of the boards.
5883
5884* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5885 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5886 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005887
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005888* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5889 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5890 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5891 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5892 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5893 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00005894
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005895* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5896 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5897 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5898 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
