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.

32
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.

Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -050037In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
38the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
39scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
40companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000171Software Configuration:
172=======================
173
174Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
175rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
176
177There are two classes of configuration variables:
178
179* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
180 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
181 "CONFIG_".
182
183* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
184 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
185 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200186 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000187
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500188Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
189symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
190U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
191allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
192build.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000193
194
195Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
196---------------------------------------------------
197
198For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200199configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000200
201Example: For a TQM823L module type:
202
203 cd u-boot
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200204 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000205
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500206Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
207you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
208doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000209
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600210Sandbox Environment:
211--------------------
212
213U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
214board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
215specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
216run some of U-Boot's tests.
217
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki287314f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530218See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.

220
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700221Board Initialisation Flow:
222--------------------------
223
224This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500225SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
226
227Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
228more detail later in this file.
229
230At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
231and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
232may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
233CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700234
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500235Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
236CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
237
238 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
239 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
240 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
241
242and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
243limitations of each of these functions are described below.
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700244
245lowlevel_init():
246 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
247 - no global_data or BSS
248 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
249 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
250 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
251 board_init_f()
252 - this is almost never needed
253 - return normally from this function
254
255board_init_f():
256 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
257 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
258 - global_data is available
259 - stack is in SRAM
260 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
261 only stack variables and global_data
262
263 Non-SPL-specific notes:
264 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
265 can do nothing
266
267 SPL-specific notes:
268 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
269 version as needed.
270 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
271 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
272 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
273 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
274 directly)
275
276Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
277this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
278CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
279memory.
280
281board_init_r():
282 - purpose: main execution, common code
283 - global_data is available
284 - SDRAM is available
285 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
286 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
287
288 Non-SPL-specific notes:
289 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
290 there.
291
292 SPL-specific notes:
293 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
294 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
295 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
296 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
297 spl_board_init() function containing this call
298 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000302Configuration Options:
303----------------------
304
305Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
306such information is kept in a configuration file
307"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
308
309Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
310"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
311
312
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000313Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
314kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
315build a config tool - later.
316
317
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000318The following options need to be configured:
319

703 concepts).
704
705 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
706 * New libfdt-based support
707 * Adds the "fdt" command

Kumar Gala1e26aa52006-01-11 13:54:17 -0600720 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
721
722 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
723 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000724
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600725 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
726
727 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
728 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
729 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
730 the kernel.
731
Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500732 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
733
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200734 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500735 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
736
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200737 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
738
739 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
740 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
741 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
742 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
743 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
744 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
745
Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000746 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
747
748 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
749 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
750 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
751 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
752 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
753 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
754 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
755
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100756- vxWorks boot parameters:

758 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
Bin Mengfb694b92015-10-07 20:19:17 -0700759 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
760 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100761 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
762
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100763 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
764 the defaults discussed just above.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000802- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000803 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
804 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
805 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
806 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000807
808 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
809 port routines must be defined elsewhere

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100871- Console Rx buffer length
872 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
873 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100874 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100875 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
876 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
877 the SMC.
878
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000879- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200880 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
881 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
882 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
883 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
884 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
885 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
886 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200887 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200888 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000889
Hans de Goedee355da02015-05-05 13:13:36 +0200890 Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
891 stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
892
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200893 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
894 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000895
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000896- Autoboot Command:
897 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
898 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
899 define a command string that is automatically executed
900 when no character is read on the console interface
901 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
902
903 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000904 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
905 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
906 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000907
908 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000909 The value of these goes into the environment as
910 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
911 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200912 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000913
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100914- Bootcount:
915 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
916 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
917 cycle, see:
918 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
919
920 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
921 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
922 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
923 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
924 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
925 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
926 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
927 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
928 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
929
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000930- Pre-Boot Commands:
931 CONFIG_PREBOOT
932
933 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
934 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
935 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
936 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
937 entering interactive mode.
938
939 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
940 automatically generated or modified. For an example
941 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
942 modified when the user holds down a certain
943 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
944 booting the systems
945
946- Serial Download Echo Mode:
947 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
948 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
949 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
950 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
951 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
952 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
953 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

1079
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001080 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1081 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001082
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -04001083 Other Commands:
1084 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001085
1086 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001087 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001088 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1089 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1090 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1091 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1092 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1093 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001094
1095
1096 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1097
Simon Glassaa34ef22016-03-13 19:07:28 -06001098- Removal of commands
1099 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
1100 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
1101 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
1102 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
1103 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
1104 simple boot procedures.
1105
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001106- Regular expression support:
1107 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001108 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1109 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1110 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1111 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001112
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001113- Device tree:
1114 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1115 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1116 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1117 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1118 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1119 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1120
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001121 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1122 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001123
1124 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1125 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1126 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1127 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1128 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1129 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001130
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001131 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1132 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1133 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1134 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1135
1136 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1137
1138 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1139 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1140 still use the individual files if you need something more
1141 exotic.
1142
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001143- Watchdog:
1144 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1145 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001146 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1147 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1148 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1149 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1150 available, then no further board specific code should
1151 be needed to use it.
1152
1153 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1154 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1155 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1156 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001157
Heiko Schocher735326c2015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001158 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1159 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1160
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001161- U-Boot Version:
1162 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1163 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1164 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1165 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001166 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1167 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001168
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001169- Real-Time Clock:
1170
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001171 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001172 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1173 following options:
1174
1175 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1176 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001177 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001180 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001181 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel90491f22014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001182 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenkef5fe752003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001183 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001186 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001187 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1188 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001189
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001190 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1191 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1192
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001193- GPIO Support:
1194 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001195
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001196 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1197 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1198 pins supported by a particular chip.
1199
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001200 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1201 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1202
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001203- I/O tracing:
1204 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1205 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1206 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1207 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1208 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1209 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1210 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1211 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1212
1213 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1214 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1215 still continue to operate.
1216
1217 iotrace is enabled
1218 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1219 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1220 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1221 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1222 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1223 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1224
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001225- Timestamp Support:
1226
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001227 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1228 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1229 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001230 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001231
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001232- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1233 Zero or more of the following:
1234 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1235 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1236 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1237 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1238 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1239 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1240 disk/part_efi.c
1241 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001242
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001243 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
Simon Glass8706b812016-05-01 11:36:02 -06001244 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001245 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001246
1247- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001248 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1249 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001250
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001251 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1252 be performed by calling the function
1253 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1254 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001255
1256- ATAPI Support:
1257 CONFIG_ATAPI

1613 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1614 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1615 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1616 one that would help mostly the developer.
1617
Heiko Schochera2f831e2013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001618 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1619 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1620 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1621 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1622 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1623
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001624 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1625 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1626 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1627 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1628 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1629 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1630
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001631 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1632 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1633 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1634 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1635
1636 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1637 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1638 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1639 sending again an USB request to the device.

Sebastian Siewior9d4471e2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001657 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1658 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1659 downloaded images.
1660
Paul Kocialkowskif84f0912015-07-20 12:38:22 +02001661 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
Sebastian Siewior9d4471e2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001662 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1663 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1664 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1665
Steve Raebfb9ba42014-08-26 11:47:28 -07001666 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1667 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1668 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1669 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1670
1671 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1672 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1673 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1674 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1675
Steve Rae7d059342014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001676 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1677 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1678 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1679 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1680 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1681 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1682 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1683 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.

1848
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001849 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001850 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1851 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1852 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1853 a per-section basis.
1854
Simon Glassaf3e2802012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001855 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1856
1857 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1858 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1859 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1860 is slow.
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001861
Hannes Petermaiera3c8e862015-03-27 08:01:38 +01001862 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1863
1864 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1865 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1866 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1867 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1868 printed out.
1869 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1870 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1871 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1872 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1873 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1874 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1875 1 = 90 degree rotation
1876 2 = 180 degree rotation
1877 3 = 270 degree rotation
1878
1879 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1880 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1881
Tom Wai-Hong Tam79926a42012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001882 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8

wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001892
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001893 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1894 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1895 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001896 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001897 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1898 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1899 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1900 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001901
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001902 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1903
1904 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1905 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Fabio Estevama58b4912016-03-23 12:46:12 -03001906 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001907 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1908 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1909 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1910 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1911 there is no need to set this option.
1912
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001913 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1914
1915 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1916 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1917 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1918 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1919 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1920 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1921
1922 Example:
1923 setenv splashpos m,m
1924 => image at center of screen
1925
1926 setenv splashpos 30,20
1927 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1928
1929 setenv splashpos -10,m
1930 => vertically centered image
1931 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1932
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001933- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1934
1935 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1936 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1937 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1938
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001939- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1940
1941 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1942 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1943 bmp command.
1944
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001945- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001946 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1947
1948 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1949 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1950
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001951- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001952 CONFIG_GZIP
1953
1954 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1955
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001956 CONFIG_BZIP2
1957
1958 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1959 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1960 compressed images are supported.
1961
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001962 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001963 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001964 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001965
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001966 CONFIG_LZMA
1967
1968 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1969 images is included.
1970
1971 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1972 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1973 formula:
1974
1975 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1976
1977 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1978 and Literal pos bits.
1979
1980 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1981 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1982 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1983 a very small buffer.
1984
1985 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1986 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001987 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001988
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001989 CONFIG_LZO
1990
1991 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1992 is included.
1993
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001994- MII/PHY support:
1995 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1996
1997 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1998
1999 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2000
2001 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2002
2003 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2004
2005 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002006 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002007
2008 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2009
2010 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2011 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2012 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2013 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2014
2015 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2016
2017 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2018 command issued before MII status register can be read
2019
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002020- IP address:

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04002035 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2036
2037 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2038 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2039
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002040- Gateway IP address:
2041 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2042
2043 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2044 default router where packets to other networks are
2045 sent to.
2046 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2047
2048- Subnet mask:
2049 CONFIG_NETMASK
2050
2051 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2052 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2053 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2054 forwarded through a router.
2055 (Environment variable "netmask")
2056
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002057- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2058 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2059
2060 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2061 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002062 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002063 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2064 multicast group.
2065
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002066- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2067 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2068
2069 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2070 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2071 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2072 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2073 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2074 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2075 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2076 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002077 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002078
2079 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2080 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2081 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2082 4th and following
2083 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2084
Thierry Reding8977cda2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002085 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2086
2087 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2088 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2089 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2090 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2091 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2092 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2093 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2094 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2095 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2096 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2097 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2098 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2099 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2100 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2101 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2102

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002120
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002121 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2122 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002123
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002124 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2125 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2126 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2127 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2128 is not available.
2129
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002130 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2131 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2132 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2133 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2134 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2135 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2136 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002137 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002138
2139 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2140 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2141 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002142 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002143 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2144 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002145
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002146 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2147
2148 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2149 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2150 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2151 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2152 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2153 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2154 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2155 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2156 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2157 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2158 this delay.
2159
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002160 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2161 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2162 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2163 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2164 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002210- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2211
2212 Several configurations allow to display the current
2213 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2214 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2215 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2216 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2217 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2218 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2219 feature in U-Boot.
2220
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002221 Additional options:
2222
2223 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2224 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2225 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2226 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2227 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2228
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002229 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2230 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2231 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2232 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2233 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2234 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2235
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002236- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002434
2435 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2436 provides the following compelling advantages:
2437
2438 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2439 - approved multibus support
2440 - better i2c mux support
2441
2442 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002443
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002444 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2445 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2446 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002447
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002448 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002449 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002450 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2451 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002452 command line interface.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002454 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002455
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002456 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002457 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002458
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002459 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002460 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002461 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002462 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002463
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002464 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002465 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002466 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2467 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2468 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002469
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002470 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2471
2472 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2473 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2474 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2475 commands until the slave device responds.
2476
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002477 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002478
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002479 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002480 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2481 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002482
2483 I2C_INIT
2484
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002485 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002486 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002487

2491
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002492 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2493 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2494 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002495
2496 I2C_ACTIVE
2497
2498 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2499 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2500 define can be null.
2501
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002502 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)

2507 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2508 define can be null.

2513
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002514 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2515 false if it is low.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002537 I2C_DELAY
2538
2539 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2540 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002541 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002542 like:
2543

2547
2548 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2549 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2550 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2551 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2552
2553 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2554 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002558 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2559 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2560 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2561 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2562 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2563 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2564 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2565 is run early in the boot sequence.

Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002567 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2568
2569 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2570 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2571 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2572 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2573 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2574 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2575 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2576 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

2586 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002587 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2588 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.

2633 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2634 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2635 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2636 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2637 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2638 the other.

2755 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002765
2766- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2767
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002768 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2769 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002770 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002771 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2772 protects these variables from casual modification by
2773 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2774 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002775 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002776
2777 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2778 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002779 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002780 these parameters.
2781
Joe Hershberger76f353e2015-05-04 14:55:14 -05002782 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2783 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002784 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002785 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2786 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2787 read-only.]
2788
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002789 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2790 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2791 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2792 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2793
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002794- Protected RAM:
2795 CONFIG_PRAM
2796
2797 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2798 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2799 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2800 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2801 this default value by defining an environment
2802 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2803 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2804 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2805 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2806 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2807 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2808 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2809
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002810 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002811 saveenv
2812
2813 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2814 either, which results in a memory region that will
2815 not be affected by reboots.
2816
2817 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2818 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2819 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2820 following board configurations are known to be
2821 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002827- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2828 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2829 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2830 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2831 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2832 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2833 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2834
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002835- Error Recovery:
2836 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2837
2838 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2839 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2840 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002841 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002842 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2843 useful during development since you can try to debug
2844 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2845
2846 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002848 This variable defines the number of retries for
2849 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2850 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2851 default value of 5 is used.

2856
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002857 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2858
2859 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2860 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2861 try longer timeout such as
2862 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002866
2867 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2868
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002869 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002870
2871 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2872 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2873 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2874
2875 Note:
2876
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002877 In the current implementation, the local variables
2878 space and global environment variables space are
2879 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2880 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2881 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2882 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2883 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002884
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002885 Global environment variables are those you use
2886 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2887 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2888 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002889
2890 To store commands and special characters in a
2891 variable, please use double quotation marks
2892 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2893 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2894 symbols.

Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002896- Command Line Editing and History:
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002897 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2898
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002899 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002900 command line input operations

Marek Vasut734fb042016-01-27 04:47:55 +01002902- Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2903 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2904
2905 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2906 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2907 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2908 and PS2.
2909
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002910- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002911 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2912
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002913 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2914 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002915 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002916
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002917 For example, place something like this in your
2918 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002919
2920 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2921 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2922 "myvar2=value2\0"
2923
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002924 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2925 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2926 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2927 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002928 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002929 You better know what you are doing here.
2930
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002931 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2932 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002933 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002934 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002935
Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002936 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2937
2938 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2939 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2940 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2941
2942 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2943
2944 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2945 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2946 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2947 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2948 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2949
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002950 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2951
2952 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2953 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2954 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2955
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002956 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2957
2958 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002959 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002960 that so that the environment is not available until
2961 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2962 this is instead controlled by the value of
2963 /config/load-environment.
2964
Chris Packham2216ddb2015-06-19 20:25:59 +12002965- Parallel Flash support:
2966 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
2967
Bin Meng75574052016-02-05 19:30:11 -08002968 Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
Chris Packham2216ddb2015-06-19 20:25:59 +12002969 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2970 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2971 parallel flash.
2972
2973 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2974 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2975 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2976 flash API (see include/flash.h).
2977
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002978- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002979 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2980
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002981 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2982 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2983 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002984
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002985- Serial Flash support
2986 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2987
2988 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2989 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2990
2991 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2992 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2993 commands.
2994
2995 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2996 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2997 flash is present on the system.
2998
2999 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3000 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
3001 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
3002 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3003
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00003004 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3005
3006 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3007 test ('sf test').
3008
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303009 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3010
3011 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3012 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003013 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303014
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003015- SystemACE Support:
3016 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3017
3018 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3019 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003020 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003021 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003022
3023 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003024 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003025
3026 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3027 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3028
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003029- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3030 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3031
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003032 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003033 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003034 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003035 number generator is used.
3036
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003037 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3038 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3039 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3040
3041 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003042 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3043 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3044 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3045 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3046 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3047 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3048
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003049- Hashing support:
3050 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3051
3052 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3053 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3054
3055 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3056
3057 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3058 size a little.
3059
gaurav ranaef201592015-02-20 12:51:46 +05303060 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3061 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3062 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3063 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3064 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3065 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3066 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3067 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3068 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3069 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3070 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3071 is performed in hardware.
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003072
3073 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3074 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3075
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003076- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3077 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3078 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3079 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3080
3081 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3082 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3083 a boot from specific media.
3084
3085 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3086 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3087 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3088 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3089 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3090
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003091- bootcount support:
3092 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3093
3094 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3095 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3096
3097 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3098 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3099 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3100 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3101 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3102 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3103 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3104 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3105 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3106 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3107 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3108 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3109 the bootcounter.
3110 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003112- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003113 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3114
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003115 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3116 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3117 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3118 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3119 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3120 the following checkpoints are implemented:

3300
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003301 This option defines a board specific value for the
3302 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3303 overwriting the architecture dependent default

3312 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3313 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3314 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3315 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3316 configured panel size.

3346
Joe Hershberger47550fc2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003347 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG

Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003352
3353 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3354 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3355 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3356 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3357 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3358 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3359
3360 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3361 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3362 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3363 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3364 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3365
3366 default: 4096
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003367
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003368 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3369 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3370 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3371 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3372 flash), this value is ignored.
3373
3374 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3375 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3376 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3377 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3378 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3379 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3380
3381 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3382 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3383 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3384 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3385 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3386 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3387 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3388 partition.
3389
3390 default: 20
3391
3392 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3393 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3394 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3395 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3396 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3397 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3398 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3399 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3400 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3401 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3402 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3403 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3404
3405 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3406 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3407 without a fastmap.
3408 default: 0
3409
Heiko Schocher94b66de2015-10-22 06:19:21 +02003410 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3411 Enable UBI fastmap debug

3417 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3418 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3419
3420 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3421
Joe Hershberger47550fc2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003422 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

3468 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3469 loaded does not have a signature.
3470 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3471 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003692- Interrupt support (PPC):
3693
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003694 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3695 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003696 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003697 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003698 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003699 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003700 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003701 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3702 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3703 general timer_interrupt().

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003787 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003788 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3789 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3790 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003791 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003792 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003793 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003794
3795 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3796 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3797 be touched.
3798
3799 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3800 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3801 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3802 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3803 problems.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003830- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003831 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3832
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003833- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3834 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3835 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3836 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3837 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3838 space.
3839
3840 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3841 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3842 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003843 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003844 U-Boot relocates itself.
3845
Simon Glass9fa901b2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07003846- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3847 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3848 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3849 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3850
Thierry Redingc97d9742014-12-09 22:25:22 -07003851- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3852 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3853 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3854 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3855 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3856 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3857 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3858 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3859 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3860 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3861 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3862 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3863 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3864 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3865 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3866 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3867
3868 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3869
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003870- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003871 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3872 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003873 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003874 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3875
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003876- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003877 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3878 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003879 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3880 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003881 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003882 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003883 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003884 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3885 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3886 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

3921 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3922
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003923- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003924
3925 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3926 without this option such a download has to be
3927 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3928 copy from RAM to flash.
3929
3930 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3931 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003932 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3933 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003934 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3935
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003936- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

3945 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3946 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3947 to the MTD layer.
3948
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003949- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

3958 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3959 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3960 optionally available.
3961
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003962- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3963 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown

3966
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003967- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3968 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3969 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3970 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3971 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3972 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3973 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3974 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3975
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003976- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003977 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3978 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003979 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3980 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003981 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003982 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06004023
4024 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4025 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4026 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4027 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4028 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4029 ".flags" variable.
4030
Joe Hershberger6db9fd42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05004031 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a

4051following configurations:
4052
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004053- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4054
4055 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4056 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4057
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004058- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004059
4060 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4061
4062 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4063 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4064 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4065 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4066 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4067 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4068 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4069 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4070 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4071 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4072 between U-Boot and the environment.

4077 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4078 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4079 for this sector is given here.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004084
4085 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4086 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004087 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004090
4091 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4092
4093
4094 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4095 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4096 the environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004098 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004099
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004100 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004101 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004102 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4103 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4104
4105 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4106 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4107 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4108 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4109 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4110 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4111 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4112 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4113 RAM, your target system will be dead.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004138 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4139 can just be read and written to, without any special
4140 provision.
4141
4142BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004143in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004144console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004145U-Boot will hang.
4146
4147Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4148environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4149keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4150to save the current settings.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004172 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4173 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4174 would require six bits.
4175
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004176 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004177 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004184 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004185 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4186 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4187 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4188 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4189 byte chips.
4190
4191 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4192 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4193 in the chip address.

4201
4202 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4203 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4204 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4205 EEPROM. For example:
4206
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004207 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004208

4229
4230 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4231 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4232
4233 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the

4235 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4236
4237 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4238
4239 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4240
4241 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4242
4243 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4244 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4245 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4246 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4247 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4248
4249 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):

4265 want to use for the local device's environment.
4266
4267 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4268 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4269
4270 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4271 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4272 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004273 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004274
4275BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4276"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004277environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4278but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

4299
4300 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4301
4302 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4303 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4304 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4305 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4306 the range to be avoided.
4307
4308 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004309

Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004322- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4323
4324 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the

4326 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4327
4328 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4329
4330 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.

4351
4352 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4353
4354 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4355
4356 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4357
4358 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4359 be as following:
4360
4361 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4362 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4363 partition table.
4364 - "D:0": device D.
4365 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4366 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4367 table.
4368 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004369 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004370 partition table then means device D.
4371
4372 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4373
4374 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004375 environment.
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004376
4377 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004378 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.

Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004380- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4381
4382 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4383 environment.
4384
4385 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4386
4387 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4388
4389 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4390
4391 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4392 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4393 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4394
4395 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4396 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4397
4398 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4399 area within the specified MMC device.
4400
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004401 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4402 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4403 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4404 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4405 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4406 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4407 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4408
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004409 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4410 MMC sector boundary.

4412 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4413
4414 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4415 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4416 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4417 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4418
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004419 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4420 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4421
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004422 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4423 an MMC sector boundary.
4424
4425 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4426
4427 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4428 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4429 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004431- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004432
4433 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4434 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4435 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4436 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4437 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4438 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4439 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4440
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004441Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004442has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004443created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004444until then to read environment variables.
4445
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004446The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4447is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4448with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4449necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4450"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4451have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004452
4453Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4454the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004455use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004501- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4502 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4503 PowerPC SOCs.
4504
4505- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4506 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4507 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4508
4509 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4510 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4511
4512- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4513 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4514 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004515 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004516 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4517 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4518 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4519
4520 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4521 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4522
4523- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004524 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4525 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004526 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4527 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4528
4529- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4530 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4531 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4532 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4533
4534- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4535 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4536 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004756- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4757 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4758
4759- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4760 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004761 to the given FEC; i. e.
4762 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004763 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4764
4765 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4766
4767- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4768 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4769 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4770
4771- CONFIG_RMII
4772 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4773 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4774 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4775

4777 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4778 The syntax is:
4779
4780 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4781
4782 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4783 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the

stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004790- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4791 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4792 "md/mw" commands.
4793 Examples:
4794
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004795 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004796 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4797
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004798 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004799 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4800
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004801 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004802 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004804- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004805 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004806 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4807 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4808 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004809
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004810 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4811 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4812 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4813 these initializations itself.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004814
Simon Glass90844072016-05-05 07:28:06 -06004815- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4816 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
yeongjun Kim7a203682016-07-20 22:56:12 +09004817 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the

4831 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4832 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4833 previous 4k of the .text section.
4834
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004835- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4836 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4837 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4838 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4839 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4840 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4841 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4842 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4843
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004844- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4845 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4846 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4847 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4848 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4849
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004850- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4851 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not

4870The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4871loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4872This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4873are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4874within that device.

4884 is also specified.
4885
4886- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4887 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4888 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4889 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4890 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4891
4892- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4893 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4894 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the

4917---------------------------------------------------------
4918The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4919"firmware".
4920This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4921are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4922within that device.

4925 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4926
4927- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4928 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4929 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4930 is also specified.
4931
4932- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4933 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4934 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4935 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4936 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4937
4938- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4939 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as

Paul Kocialkowski7b917022015-07-26 18:48:15 +02004958Reproducible builds
4959-------------------
4960
4961In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4962process have to be set to a fixed value.
4963
4964This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4965SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4966option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4967
4968SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.

4971======================
4972
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004973Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4974and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4975all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4976(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4977recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4978which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004979
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004980If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4981have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4982you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4983Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4984necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:

Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004989Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4990 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4991 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4992 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4993
4994 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4995
4996 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4997 be executed on computers running Windows.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004999U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5000sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005001is done by typing:
5002
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005003 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005004
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005005where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005006rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00005007
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005008Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5009 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5010 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5011 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005012 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005013
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005014 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005015 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005016
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005017 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005018 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005019
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005020 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005021
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005022
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005023Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5024images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005025
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005026- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5027- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5028- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005029
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005030By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5031in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5032this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5033
50341. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5035
5036 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005037 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005038 make O=/tmp/build all
5039
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +020050402. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005041
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005042 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005043 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005044 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005045 make all
5046
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005047Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005048variable.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005050
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005051Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5052for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5053native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005054

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005056If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5057to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5058steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005059
Phil Sutterc77b4882015-12-25 14:41:18 +010050601. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005061 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
Phil Sutterc77b4882015-12-25 14:41:18 +01005062 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
50632. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5064 your board.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050653. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5066 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020050674. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050685. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5069 to be installed on your target system.
50706. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5071 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005074Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5075==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005076
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005077If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5078or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005079provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5080the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005081official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005082
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005083But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5084cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005085the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5086just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005087for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5088select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5089environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5090you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005091
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005092 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005093
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005094or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005095
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005096 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005097
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005098When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5099U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5100setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5101built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5102<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5103location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5104variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005105
5106 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5107 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5108 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5109
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005110With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5111log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5112during the whole build process.

5174
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005175Environment Variables:
5176======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005177
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005178U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5179can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005180
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005181Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5182"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5183without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5184environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5185working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5186environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005188Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5189
5190List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005191
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005192 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005197
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005198 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005199
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005200 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005201
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005202 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5203 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5204 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5205 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5206 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5207 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005208 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5209 bootm_mapsize.
5210
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005211 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005212 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5213 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5214 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5215 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5216 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5217 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005218
5219 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5220 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5221 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5222 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5223 environment variable.
5224
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005225 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5226 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5227 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5228
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005229 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5230 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5231 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5232 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005233
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005234 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5235 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5236 be automatically started (by internally calling
5237 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005238
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005239 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5240 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5241 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5242 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5243 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005244
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005245 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5246 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005247 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5248 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5249 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5250 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5251 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5252 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5253 access it during the boot procedure.
5254
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005255 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5256 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5257 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5258 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5259 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5260 must be accessible by the kernel.
5261
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005262 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5263 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5264 defined.
5265
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005266 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5267 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5268 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5269 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5270 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5271
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005272 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5273 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5274 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5275 is usually what you want since it allows for
5276 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5277 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005278 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005279 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5280 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5281 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5282 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005283
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005284 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5285 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5286 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5287 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5288 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5289 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005290
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005291 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005292
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005293 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5294 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5295 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5296 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5297 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5298 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5299 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

5328 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5329
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005330 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005331 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5332 When set to "once" the network operation will

5354
5355 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5356 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5357 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5358 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5359 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5360 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5361 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5362
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)83006852015-10-12 00:02:57 +02005363 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5364 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5365 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5366 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5367 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5368 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5369 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.

5376 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
5377 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
5378 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
5379 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005381The following image location variables contain the location of images
5382used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5383not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5384variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5385server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5386loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5387flash or offset in NAND flash.
5388
5389*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
Fabio Estevambb7d4972015-04-25 18:53:10 -03005390boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some

5402depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005403
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005404 bootfile - see above
5405 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5406 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5407 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5408 hostname - Target hostname
5409 ipaddr - see above
5410 netmask - Subnet Mask
5411 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005415There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005416
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005417 serial# - contains hardware identification information such

5419 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005420
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005421These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5422the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5423once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005424

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005437Callback functions for environment variables:
5438---------------------------------------------
5439
5440For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005441when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005442be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5443deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5444effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5445
5446The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5447U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5448
5449These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5450static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5451in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5452associations. The list must be in the following format:
5453
5454 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5455 list = entry[,list]
5456
5457If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5458Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5459
5460Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5461with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5462override any association in the static list. You can define
5463CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005464".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005465
Joe Hershberger6db9fd42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05005466If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5467regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5468the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005474There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5475the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005476
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005477Old, simple command line parser:
5478--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005479
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005480- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5481- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005482- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005483- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5484 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005485 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005486- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5487 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005492- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5493 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5494 until...do...done, ...
5495- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5496 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5497 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5498 command

wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005502
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005503(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5504 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5505 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5506 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005507
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005508(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005509 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005510 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5511 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005512
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005513Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5514=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005515
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005516Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005517such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5518"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005519
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005520Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5521MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5522"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005523
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005524If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5525in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5526ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5527variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005528
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005529o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5530 environment, the SROM's address is used.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005553Image Formats:
5554==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005555
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005556U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5557images in two formats:
5558
5559New uImage format (FIT)
5560-----------------------
5561
5562Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5563to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5564components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5565SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5566
5567
5568Old uImage format
5569-----------------
5570
5571Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5572preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5573details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005593
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005594Linux Support:
5595==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005596
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005597Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5598easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5599U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005600
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005601U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5602special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5603"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5604instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5605serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005606
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005607- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5608 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5609 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005610
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005611- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5612 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005613
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005614- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5615 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5616 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5617 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5618 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5619 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005620
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005621
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005622Linux HOWTO:
5623============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005624
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005625Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5626---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005627
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005628U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5629configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5630(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5631Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005632
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005633But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005634
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005635Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5636include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005637Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5638and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005639as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005640
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005641Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5642If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5643is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5644doc/driver-model.
5645
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005646
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005647Configuring the Linux kernel:
5648-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005649
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005650No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5651device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005652
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005653
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005654Building a Linux Image:
5655-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005656
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005657With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5658not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5659"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5660U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5661which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5662100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005663
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005664Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005665
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005666 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005667 make oldconfig
5668 make dep
5669 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005670
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005671The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5672encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5673CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005674
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005675* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005676
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005677* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005678
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005679 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5680 -R .note -R .comment \
5681 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005682
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005683* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005684
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005685 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005686
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005687* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005688
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005689 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5690 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5691 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005692
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005693
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005694The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5695with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5696combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5697byte header containing information about target architecture,
5698operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5699stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005700
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005701"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5702print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005703
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005704In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5705contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5706checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005707
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005708 tools/mkimage -l image
5709 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005710
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005711The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5712from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005713
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005714 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5715 -n name -d data_file image
5716 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5717 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5718 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5719 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5720 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5721 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5722 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5723 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005724
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005725Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5726address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5727kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005728
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005729- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5730- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005731
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005732So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005733

Guilherme Maciel Ferreira51553812013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005786The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5787option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5788option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5789from the image:
5790
Guilherme Maciel Ferreira40bf5632015-01-15 02:54:40 -02005791 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5792 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5793 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5794 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'

5798-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005799
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005800To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5801you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005802
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005803 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005804
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005805The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5806image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5807address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5808specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5809command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005810

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005977More About U-Boot Image Types:
5978------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005979
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005980U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005981
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005982 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5983 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5984 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5985 the Standalone Program.
5986 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5987 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5988 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5989 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5990 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5991 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5992 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5993 being started.
5994 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5995 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5996 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5997 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5998 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5999 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006000
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006001 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6002 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6003 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6004 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6005 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6006 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006007
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006008 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6009 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6010 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006011
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006012 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6013 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6014 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6015 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00006017Booting the Linux zImage:
6018-------------------------
6019
6020On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6021using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6022as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6023
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04006024Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00006025kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6026address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6027format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

6031=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006032
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006033One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6034run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6035U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006036
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006037Two simple examples are included with the sources:

6043application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6044It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6045like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006071Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6072handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6073Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6074The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6075character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6076controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006077
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006078 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6079 b - enable interrupts and start timer

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006142Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6143(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006144
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006145Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6146NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6147need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6148Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6149attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6150missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006151
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006152 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6153 # mkdir powerpc
6154 # ln -s powerpc machine
6155 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6156 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006157
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006158Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6159and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006160
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006161Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6162stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6163proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6164tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6169=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006170
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006171The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6172implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6173inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6174hardware.

6178---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006179
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006180The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6181starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6182system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6183This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6184is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6185at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6186options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6187models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6188MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6189locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006190
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006191 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006199 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6200 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6201 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6202 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6203 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006204 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006205 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6206 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006208 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6209 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006210 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006211 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6212 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6213 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6214 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006215
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006216 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006217 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6218 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006219 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006220 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6221 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6222 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6223 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6224 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006229It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6230code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006231
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006232* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6233 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006234
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006235* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006236 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6237 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006238
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006239* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6240 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006241
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006242Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006243normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006244turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6245simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6246functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6247functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6248the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6249place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6250reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006251
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006252When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6253relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6254GCC's implementation.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006256For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6257 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006258 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006259 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6260 R5-R10: parameter passing
6261 R13: small data area pointer
6262 R30: GOT pointer
6263 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006265 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6266 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6267 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006271 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6272 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6273 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6274 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6275 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6276 624 text + 127 data).

6325------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006326
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006327U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6328MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006329
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006330The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6331controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6332memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6333physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006334
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006335U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6336TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6337booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6338to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006339memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006340configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6341Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006343Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006369System Initialization:
6370----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006371
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006372In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006373(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006374configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006375To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6376To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6377initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6378which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6379part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6380the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006381
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006382Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6383preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6384(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6385on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6386programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6387simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6388banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006389
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006390When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6391different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6392bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63930x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6394contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006395
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006396Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6397and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6398Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6399pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006400
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006401Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6402until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6403running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6404new address in RAM.

6542 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006543 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006544 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6545 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006547 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6548 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6549 GNU diff.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006566Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006567
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006568* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6569 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6570 for any of the boards.
6571
6572* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6573 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6574 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006575
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006576* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6577 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6578 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6579 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6580 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6581 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006582
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006583* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6584 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6585 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6586 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
