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

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000227Software Configuration:
228=======================
229
230Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
232
233There are two classes of configuration variables:
234
235* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
237 "CONFIG_".
238
239* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200242 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000243
244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
248as an example here.
249
250
251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252---------------------------------------------------
253
254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200260 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000261
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
265
266
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600267Sandbox Environment:
268--------------------
269
270U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
271board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
272specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
273run some of U-Boot's tests.
274
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki287314f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530275See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600276
277
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292
293
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000294The following options need to be configured:

635
636 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
637 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
638 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
639 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
640 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
641 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
642 Linux kernel.

707 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
708
709 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
710 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
711 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
712 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
713
714 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
715
716 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
717
718 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
719 the defaults discussed just above.

751
John Rigby34e21ee2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000752 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
753
754 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
755 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
756 this variable to initialize the extra register.
757
758 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
759
760 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000769- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000770 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
771 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
772 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
773 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000774
775 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial

820 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
821
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000822 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100842- Console Rx buffer length
843 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
844 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100845 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100846 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
847 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
848 the SMC.
849
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000850- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200851 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
852 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
853 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
854 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
855 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
856 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
857 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200858 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200859 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000860
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200861 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
862 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000863
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000864- Safe printf() functions
865 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
866 the printf() functions. These are defined in
867 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
868 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
869 If this option is not given then these functions will
870 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
871 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
872
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000873- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
874 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
875 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000876 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
877 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000878
879 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
880 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
881 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
882 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
883 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
884 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
885 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
886 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
887 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
888 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
889 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
890 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
891
892- Autoboot Command:
893 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
894 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
895 define a command string that is automatically executed
896 when no character is read on the console interface
897 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
898
899 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000900 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
901 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
902 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000903
904 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000905 The value of these goes into the environment as
906 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
907 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200908 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000909
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100910- Bootcount:
911 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
912 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
913 cycle, see:
914 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
915
916 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
917 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
918 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
919 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
920 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
921 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
922 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
923 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
924 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
925
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000926- Pre-Boot Commands:
927 CONFIG_PREBOOT
928
929 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
930 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
931 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
932 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
933 entering interactive mode.
934
935 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
936 automatically generated or modified. For an example
937 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
938 modified when the user holds down a certain
939 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
940 booting the systems
941
942- Serial Download Echo Mode:
943 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
944 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
945 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
946 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
947 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
948 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
949 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
950
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500951- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000952 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
953 Select one of the baudrates listed in

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000955
956- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500957 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
958 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000959 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
960 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500961 and augmenting with additional #define's
962 for wanted commands.

1081 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001082
1083 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001084 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001085 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1086 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1087 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1088 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1089 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1090 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001091

1093 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1094
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001095- Regular expression support:
1096 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001097 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1098 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1099 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1100 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001101
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001102- Device tree:
1103 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1104 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1105 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1106 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1107 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1108 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1109
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001110 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1111 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001112
1113 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1114 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1115 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1116 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1117 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1118 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001119
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001120 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1121 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1122 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1123 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1124
1125 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1126
1127 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1128 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1129 still use the individual files if you need something more
1130 exotic.
1131
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001132- Watchdog:
1133 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1134 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001135 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1136 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1137 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1138 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1139 available, then no further board specific code should
1140 be needed to use it.
1141
1142 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1143 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1144 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1145 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001146
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001147- U-Boot Version:
1148 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1149 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1150 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1151 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001152 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1153 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001154
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001155- Real-Time Clock:
1156
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001157 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001158 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1159 following options:
1160
1161 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1162 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001163 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001164 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
wdenk1fe2c702003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001165 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001166 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001167 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel90491f22014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001168 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenkef5fe752003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001169 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krillb27939b2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001170 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenkaeba06f2004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001171 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001172 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001173 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1174 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001175
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001176 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1177 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1178
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001179- GPIO Support:
1180 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001181
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001182 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1183 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1184 pins supported by a particular chip.
1185
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001186 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1187 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1188
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001189- I/O tracing:
1190 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1191 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1192 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1193 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1194 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1195 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1196 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1197 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1198
1199 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1200 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1201 still continue to operate.
1202
1203 iotrace is enabled
1204 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1205 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1206 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1207 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1208 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1209 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1210
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001211- Timestamp Support:
1212
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001213 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1214 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1215 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001216 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001217
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001218- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1219 Zero or more of the following:
1220 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1221 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1222 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1223 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1224 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1225 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1226 disk/part_efi.c
1227 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001228
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001229 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1230 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001231 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001232
1233- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001234 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1235 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001236
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001237 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1238 be performed by calling the function
1239 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1240 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001241
1242- ATAPI Support:
1243 CONFIG_ATAPI
1244
1245 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1246
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001247- LBA48 Support
1248 CONFIG_LBA48
1249
1250 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher0f602e12009-12-03 11:21:21 +01001251 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001252 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1253 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1254
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001255 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001256 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1257 Default is 32bit.
1258
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001259- SCSI Support:
1260 At the moment only there is only support for the
1261 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1262 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1263
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001264 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1265 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1266 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001267 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1268 devices.
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001269 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001270
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001271 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1272 SCSI devices found during the last scan.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001274- NETWORK Support (PCI):
wdenk4e112c12003-06-03 23:54:09 +00001275 CONFIG_E1000
Kyle Moffett64b94dd2011-10-18 11:05:29 +00001276 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1277
1278 CONFIG_E1000_SPI
1279 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1280 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1281 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1282
1283 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1284 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1285 example with the "sspi" command.
1286
1287 CONFIG_CMD_E1000
1288 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1289 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00001290

1606 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1607 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1608 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1609 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1610 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1611
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001612 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1613 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1614 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1615 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1616
1617 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1618 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1619 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1620 sending again an USB request to the device.

1636 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1637 downloaded images.
1638
1639 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1640 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1641 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1642 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1643
Steve Raebfb9ba42014-08-26 11:47:28 -07001644 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1645 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1646 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1647 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1648
1649 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1650 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1651 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1652 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.

Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001837 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1838
1839 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1840 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1841 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1842 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1843 a per-section basis.
1844

1846
1847 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1848 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1849 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1850 is slow.

1859 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1860
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001861- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001862
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001863 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1864 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1865 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001866 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001867 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1868 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1869 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1870 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001871
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001872 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1873
1874 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1875 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini958a8f82014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001876 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001877 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1878 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1879 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1880 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1881 there is no need to set this option.
1882
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001883 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1884
1885 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1886 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1887 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1888 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1889 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1890 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1891
1892 Example:
1893 setenv splashpos m,m
1894 => image at center of screen
1895
1896 setenv splashpos 30,20
1897 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1898
1899 setenv splashpos -10,m
1900 => vertically centered image
1901 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1902
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001903- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1904
1905 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1906 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1907 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1908
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001909- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1910
1911 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1912 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1913 bmp command.
1914
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001915- Do compresssing for memory range:
1916 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1917
1918 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1919 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1920
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001921- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001922 CONFIG_GZIP
1923
1924 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1925
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001926 CONFIG_BZIP2
1927
1928 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1929 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1930 compressed images are supported.
1931
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001932 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001933 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001934 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001935
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001936 CONFIG_LZMA
1937
1938 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1939 images is included.
1940
1941 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1942 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1943 formula:
1944
1945 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1946
1947 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1948 and Literal pos bits.
1949
1950 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1951 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1952 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1953 a very small buffer.
1954
1955 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1956 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001957 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001958
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001959 CONFIG_LZO
1960
1961 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1962 is included.
1963

1965 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1966
1967 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1968
1969 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1970
1971 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1972
1973 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1974
1975 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001976 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001977
1978 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1979
1980 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002048- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2049 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2050
2051 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2052 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2053 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2054 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2055 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2056 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2057 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2058 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002059 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002060
2061 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2062 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2063 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2064 4th and following
2065 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2066
Thierry Reding8977cda2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002067 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2068
2069 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2070 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2071 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2072 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2073 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2074 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2075 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2076 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2077 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2078 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2079 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2080 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2081 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2082 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2083 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002106 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2107 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2108 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2109 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2110 is not available.

2114 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2115 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2116 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2117 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2118 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002119 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002120
2121 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2122 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2123 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002124 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002125 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2126 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002128 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2129
2130 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2131 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2132 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2133 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2134 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2135 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2136 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2137 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2138 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2139 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2140 this delay.
2141
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002142 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2143 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2144 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2145 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2146 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002192- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2193
2194 Several configurations allow to display the current
2195 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2196 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2197 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2198 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2199 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2200 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2201 feature in U-Boot.
2202
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002203 Additional options:
2204
2205 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2206 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2207 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2208 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2209 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2210
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002211 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2212 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2213 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2214 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2215 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2216 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2217
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002218- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

2221 on those systems that support this (optional)
2222 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002352 additional defines:
2353
2354 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2355 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2356 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2357 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2358 omit this define.
2359
2360 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2361 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2362 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2363 omit this define.
2364
2365 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2366 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2367 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2368 define.
2369
2370 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2371 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2372 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2373 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2374 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2375
2376 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \

Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002400- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002401
2402 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2403 provides the following compelling advantages:
2404
2405 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2406 - approved multibus support
2407 - better i2c mux support
2408
2409 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002410
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002411 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2412 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2413 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002414
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002415 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002416 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002417 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2418 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002419 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002420
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002421 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002422
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002423 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002424 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002425
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002426 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002427 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002428 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002429 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002430
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002431 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002432 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002433 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2434 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2435 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002436
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002437 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2438
2439 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2440 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2441 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2442 commands until the slave device responds.
2443
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002444 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002445
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002446 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002447 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2448 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002449
2450 I2C_INIT
2451
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002452 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002453 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002454
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002455 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002456
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002457 I2C_PORT
2458
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002459 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2460 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2461 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002462
2463 I2C_ACTIVE
2464
2465 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2466 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2467 define can be null.
2468
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002469 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2470
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002471 I2C_TRISTATE
2472
2473 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2474 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2475 define can be null.
2476
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002477 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2478
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002479 I2C_READ
2480
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002481 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2482 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002483
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002484 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2485
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002486 I2C_SDA(bit)
2487
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002488 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2489 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002490
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002491 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002492 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002493 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002494
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002495 I2C_SCL(bit)
2496
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002497 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2498 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002499
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002500 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002501 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002502 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002503
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002504 I2C_DELAY
2505
2506 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2507 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002508 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002509 like:
2510
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002511 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002512
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002513 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2514
2515 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2516 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2517 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2518 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2519
2520 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2521 the generic GPIO functions.
2522
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002523 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002524
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002525 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2526 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2527 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2528 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2529 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2530 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2531 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2532 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002533
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002534 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2535
2536 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2537 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2538 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2539 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2540 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2541 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2542 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2543 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2544
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002545 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2546
2547 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2548 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2549 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2550
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002551 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2552
2553 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002554 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2555 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002556 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2557
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002558 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002559
2560 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002561 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002562 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2563 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002564
2565 e.g.
2566 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002567 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002568
2569 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2570
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002571 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002572 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002573
2574 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2575
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002576 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002577
2578 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2579 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2580
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002581 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002582
2583 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2584 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2585
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002586 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002587
2588 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2589 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2590
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002591 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002592
2593 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2594 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2595 specified DTT device.
2596
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002597 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2598
2599 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2600 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2601 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2602 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2603 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002625 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2626 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2627 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2628 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2629 defined, the board configuration must define several
2630 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2631 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2724- Configuration Management:
2725 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2726
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002727 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2728 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002729
2730- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2731
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002732 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2733 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002734 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002735 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2736 protects these variables from casual modification by
2737 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2738 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002739 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002740
2741 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2742 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002743 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002744 these parameters.
2745
2746 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2747 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002748 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002749 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2750 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2751 read-only.]
2752
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002753 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2754 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2755 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2756 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2757
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002758- Protected RAM:
2759 CONFIG_PRAM
2760
2761 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2762 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2763 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2764 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2765 this default value by defining an environment
2766 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2767 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2768 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2769 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2770 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2771 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2772 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2773
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002774 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002775 saveenv
2776
2777 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2778 either, which results in a memory region that will
2779 not be affected by reboots.
2780
2781 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2782 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2783 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2784 following board configurations are known to be
2785 "pRAM-clean":
2786

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002791- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2792 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2793 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2794 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2795 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2796 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2797 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2798
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002799- Error Recovery:
2800 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2801
2802 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2803 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2804 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002805 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002806 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2807 useful during development since you can try to debug
2808 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2809
2810 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2811
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002812 This variable defines the number of retries for
2813 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2814 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2815 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002816
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002817 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2818
2819 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2820
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002821 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2822
2823 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2824 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2825 try longer timeout such as
2826 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2827
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002828- Command Interpreter:

wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002830
2831 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2832
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002833 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002834
2835 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2836 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2837 powerful command line syntax like
2838 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2839 constructs ("shell scripts").
2840
2841 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2842 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2843
2844
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002845 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002846
2847 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2848 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2849 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2850
2851 Note:
2852
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002853 In the current implementation, the local variables
2854 space and global environment variables space are
2855 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2856 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2857 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2858 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2859 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002860
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002861 Global environment variables are those you use
2862 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2863 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2864 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002865
2866 To store commands and special characters in a
2867 variable, please use double quotation marks
2868 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2869 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2870 symbols.

2882 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002883 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002884
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002885 For example, place something like this in your
2886 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002887
2888 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2889 "myvar1=value1\0" \

2891
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002892 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2893 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2894 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2895 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002896 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002897 You better know what you are doing here.
2898
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002899 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is

Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002901 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002902 boot command first.

2907 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2908 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2909
2910 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2911
2912 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2913 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2914 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2915 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR

2923
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002924 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2925
2926 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2927 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2928 that so that the environment is not available until
2929 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2930 this is instead controlled by the value of
2931 /config/load-environment.

2935
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002936 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2937 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2938 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002939
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002940- Serial Flash support
2941 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2942
2943 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2944 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2945
2946 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2947 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2948 commands.
2949
2950 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2951 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2952 flash is present on the system.
2953
2954 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2955 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2956 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2957 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2958
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002959 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2960
2961 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2962 test ('sf test').
2963
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekic6d173d2013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302964 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2965
2966 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2967 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2968
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302969 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2970
2971 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2972 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2973 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2974
Heiko Schocherd73b7ec2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02002975 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
2976 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
2977 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
2978 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
2979 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
2980 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
2981 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
2982 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
2983 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
2984 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
2985
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002986- SystemACE Support:
2987 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2988
2989 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2990 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002991 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002992 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002993
2994 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002995 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002996
2997 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2998 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2999
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003000- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3001 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3002
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003003 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003004 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003005 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003006 number generator is used.
3007
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003008 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3009 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3010 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3011
3012 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003013 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3014 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3015 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3016 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3017 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3018 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3019
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003020- Hashing support:
3021 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3022
3023 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3024 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3025
3026 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3027
3028 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3029 size a little.
3030
3031 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3032 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3033
3034 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3035 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3036
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003037- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3038 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3039 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3040 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3041
3042 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3043 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3044 a boot from specific media.
3045
3046 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3047 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3048 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3049 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3050 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3051
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003052- Signing support:
3053 CONFIG_RSA
3054
3055 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel49dc73b2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003056 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003057
3058 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3059 option.
3060
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003061- bootcount support:
3062 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3063
3064 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3065 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3066
3067 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3068 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3069 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3070 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3071 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3072 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3073 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3074 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3075 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3076 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3077 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3078 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3079 the bootcounter.
3080 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003081
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003082- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003083 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3084
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003085 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3086 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3087 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3088 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3089 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3090 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003091
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003092- Detailed boot stage timing
3093 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3094 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3095 of the boot process.
3096
3097 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3098 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3099 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3100 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3101 the limit, recording will stop.
3102
3103 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3104 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3105
3106 Timer summary in microseconds:
3107 Mark Elapsed Stage
3108 0 0 reset
3109 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3110 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
3111 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done

3114 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3115 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3116
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003117 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3118 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3119 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3120
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003121 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3122 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3123 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3124 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3125 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3126 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3127 For example:
3128
3129 bootstage {
3130 154 {
3131 name = "board_init_f";
3132 mark = <3575678>;
3133 };
3134 170 {
3135 name = "lcd";
3136 accum = <33482>;
3137 };
3138 };
3139
3140 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3315 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3316 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3317 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3318
Simon Glass58fe7e52013-06-13 15:10:00 -07003319 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3320 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,

3336
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003337 This option defines a board specific value for the
3338 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3339 overwriting the architecture dependent default

3347 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3348 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3349 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3350 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3351 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3352 configured panel size.

Joe Hershberger7d80fc12013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003378- UBI support
3379 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3380
3381 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3382 with the UBI flash translation layer
3383
3384 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3385
Joe Hershberger47550fc2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003386 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3387
3388 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3389 warnings and errors enabled.
3390
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003391
3392 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3393 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3394 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3395 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3396 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3397 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3398
3399 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3400 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3401 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3402 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3403 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3404
3405 default: 4096
3406
3407 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3408 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3409 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3410 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3411 flash), this value is ignored.
3412
3413 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3414 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3415 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3416 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3417 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3418 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3419
3420 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3421 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3422 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3423 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3424 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3425 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3426 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3427 partition.
3428
3429 default: 20
3430
3431 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3432 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3433 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3434 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3435 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3436 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3437 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3438 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3439 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3440 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3441 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3442 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3443
3444 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3445 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3446 without a fastmap.
3447 default: 0
3448
Joe Hershberger7d80fc12013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003449- UBIFS support
3450 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3451
3452 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3453 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3454
3455 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3456
Joe Hershberger47550fc2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003457 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

3665 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3666 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3667 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3668 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

Simon Glass82d94532013-05-08 08:05:59 +00003675 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3676 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3677 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3678 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3679 bootm command when booting a FIT image.

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003709- Interrupt support (PPC):
3710
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003711 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3712 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003713 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003714 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003715 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003716 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003717 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003718 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3719 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3720 general timer_interrupt().

3723
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003724 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3725 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3726 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003727 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003728 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3729 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3730 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003731
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003732 If there are no modem init strings in the
3733 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3734 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003735 suppressed, though.

3741
3742During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3743to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3744before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3745following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3746architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3747typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

3799 simple memory test.
3800
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003801- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003803
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003804- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5958f4a2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003805 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3806 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3807
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003808- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3809 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003810 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003811 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003812 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3813 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3814 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003815 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003816 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003817 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003818
3819 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3820 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3821 be touched.
3822
3823 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3824 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3825 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3826 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3827 problems.

3837 Cogent motherboard)
3838
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003839- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:

3841
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003842- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003843 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3844 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk0708bc62010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003845 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003846 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003847
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003848- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003849 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3850 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3851 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3852 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003853
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003854- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:

3856
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003857- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3858 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3859 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3860 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3861 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3862 space.
3863
3864 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3865 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3866 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3867 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3868 U-Boot relocates itself.
3869
Simon Glasse997f752014-09-15 06:33:18 -06003870 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass0cc6f5c2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06003871 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3872
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003873- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003874 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3875 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003876 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003877 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3878

Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003884 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003885 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"

3925
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003926- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003927
3928 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3929 without this option such a download has to be
3930 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3931 copy from RAM to flash.
3932
3933 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3934 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003935 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3936 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003937 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.

3961 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3962 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3963 optionally available.
3964
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003965- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS

3971 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3972 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3973 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3974 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3975 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3976 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3977 this option if you really know what you are doing.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003979- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003980 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3981 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003982 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3983 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003984 on high Ethernet traffic.

Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003998 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3999 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4000 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4001
4002 The format of the list is:

4039 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4040 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4041 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4042 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4043 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4044 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4045 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4046 your board please report the problem and send patches!

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004053The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4054of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4055following configurations:
4056
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004057- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4058
4059 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4060 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4061
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004062- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004063
4064 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4065
4066 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4067 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4068 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4069 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4070 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4071 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4072 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4073 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4074 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4075 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4076 between U-Boot and the environment.
4077
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004078 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004079
4080 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4081 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4082 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4083 for this sector is given here.
4084
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004085 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004087 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004088
4089 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4090 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004091 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004092
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004093 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004094
4095 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4096
4097
4098 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4099 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4100 the environment.
4101
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004102 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004103
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004104 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004105 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004106 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4107 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4108
4109 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4110 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4111 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4112 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4113 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4114 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4115 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4116 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4117 RAM, your target system will be dead.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004122 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004123 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004124 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004125 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004126
4127BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4128source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4129accordingly!
4130
4131
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004132- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004133
4134 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4135 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4136 environment.

4139 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004140
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004141 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004142 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4143 can just be read and written to, without any special
4144 provision.
4145
4146BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4147in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004148console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004149U-Boot will hang.
4150
4151Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4152environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4153keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4154to save the current settings.

4187 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4188 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4189 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4190 byte chips.
4191
4192 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4193 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4194 in the chip address.
4195

4200 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4201 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4202
4203 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4204 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4205 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4206 EEPROM. For example:
4207
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004208 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004209
4210 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4211 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

4220 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004221
4222 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4223 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4224 at the specified address.
4225
Wu, Josh76db7bf2014-07-01 19:30:13 +08004226- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4227
4228 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4229 want to use for the environment.
4230
4231 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4232 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4233
4234 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4235 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4236 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4237
4238 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4239
4240 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4241
4242 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4243
4244 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4245 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4246 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4247 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4248 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4249
4250 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4251 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4252
4253 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4254
4255 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4256
4257 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4258
4259 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4260
4261 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4262
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004263- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4264
4265 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4266 want to use for the local device's environment.
4267
4268 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4269 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4270
4271 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4272 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4273 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004274 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004275
4276BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4277"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004278environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4279but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDdda84dd2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02004281- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004282
4283 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4284 for the environment.
4285
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004286 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4287 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004288
4289 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004290 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4291 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004292
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004293 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004294
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004295 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004296 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4297 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004298 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004299 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4300
4301 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4302
4303 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4304 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4305 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4306 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4307 the range to be avoided.
4308
4309 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004310
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004311 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4312 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4313 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4314 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4315 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004316
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004317- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4318
4319 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4320 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4321 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4322
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004323- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4324
4325 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4326 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4327 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4328
4329 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4330
4331 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4332
4333 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4334
4335 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4336 environment in.
4337
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004338 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4339
4340 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4341 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4342 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4343
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004344 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4345 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4346
4347 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4348 when storing the env in UBI.
4349
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004350- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4351 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4352
4353 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4354
4355 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4356
4357 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4358
4359 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4360 be as following:
4361
4362 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4363 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4364 partition table.
4365 - "D:0": device D.
4366 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4367 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4368 table.
4369 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4370 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4371 partition table then means device D.
4372
4373 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4374
4375 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4376 envrionment.
4377
4378 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4379 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4380
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004381- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4382
4383 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4384 environment.
4385
4386 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4387
4388 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4389
4390 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4391
4392 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4393 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4394 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4395
4396 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4397 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4398
4399 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4400 area within the specified MMC device.
4401
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004402 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4403 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4404 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4405 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4406 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4407 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4408 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4409
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004410 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4411 MMC sector boundary.
4412
4413 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4414
4415 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4416 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4417 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4418 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4419
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004420 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4421 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4422
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004423 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4424 an MMC sector boundary.
4425
4426 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4427
4428 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4429 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4430 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4431
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004432- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004433
4434 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4435 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4436 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4437 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4438 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4439 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4440 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4441
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004442Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004443has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004444created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004445until then to read environment variables.
4446
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004447The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4448is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4449with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4450necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4451"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4452have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004453
4454Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4455the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004456use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004457
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004458- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:

wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004460
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004461 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004462 also needs to be defined.
4463
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004464- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004465 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004466
Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004467- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4468 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4469 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4470 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4471 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4472 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4473
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004474- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4475 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4476 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4477 to do this.
4478
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004479- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4480 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4481 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4482 present.
4483
Sascha Silbe4b9c17c2013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004484- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4485 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4486 build system checks that the actual size does not
4487 exceed it.

4494
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004495- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004496 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004497
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004498 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4499 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4500 the IMMR register after a reset.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004501
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004502- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4503 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4504 PowerPC SOCs.
4505
4506- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4507 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4508 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4509
4510 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4511 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4512
4513- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4514 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4515 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004516 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004517 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4518 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4519 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4520
4521 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4522 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4523
4524- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004525 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4526 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004527 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4528 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4529
4530- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4531 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4532 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or

Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004800 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004801 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4802 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4803 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004804
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004805 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4806 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4807 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4808 these initializations itself.

4817 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4818 It is loaded by the SPL.
4819
Ying Zhang0d4f5442013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004820- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4821 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4822 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4823 previous 4k of the .text section.
4824
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004825- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4826 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4827 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4828 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4829 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4830 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4831 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4832 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4833
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004834- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4835 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4836 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4837 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4838 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4839
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004840- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4841 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4842 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004857Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4858-----------------------------------
4859
4860The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4861loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4862This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4863are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4864within that device.
4865
Zhao Qiang83a90842014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004866- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4867 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4868 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4869 is also specified.
4870
4871- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4872 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004873 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4874 is also specified.
4875
4876- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4877 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4878 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4879 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4880 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4881
4882- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4883 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4884 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4885 virtual address in NOR flash.
4886
4887- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4888 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4889 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4890
4891- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4892 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4893 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4894
4895- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4896 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4897 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4898
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004899- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4900 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4901 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004902 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4903 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4904 master's memory space.

J. German Rivera8ff14b72014-06-23 15:15:55 -07004906Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4907---------------------------------------------------------
4908The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4909"firmware".
4910This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4911are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4912within that device.
4913
4914- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4915 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4916
4917- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4918 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4919 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4920 is also specified.
4921
4922- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4923 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4924 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4925 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4926 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4927
4928- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4929 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4930 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4931 virtual address in NOR flash.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004933Building the Software:
4934======================
4935
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004936Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4937and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4938all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4939(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4940recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4941which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004942
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004943If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4944have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4945you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4946Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4947necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004948
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004949 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4950 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004951
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004952Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4953 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4954 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4955 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4956
4957 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4958
4959 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4960 be executed on computers running Windows.
4961
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004962U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4963sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004964is done by typing:
4965
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004966 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004967
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004968where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004969rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004970
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004971Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4972 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4973 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4974 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004975 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004976
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004977 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004978 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004979
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004980 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004981 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004982
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004983 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004984
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004985
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004986Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4987images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004988
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004989- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4990- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4991- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004992
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004993By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4994in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4995this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4996
49971. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4998
4999 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005000 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005001 make O=/tmp/build all
5002
50032. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
5004
5005 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5006 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005007 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005008 make all
5009
5010Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
5011variable.
5012
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005013
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005014Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5015for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5016native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005017
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005018
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005019If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5020to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5021steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005022
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050231. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005024 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5025 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050262. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5027 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5028 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
50293. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5030 your board
50313. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5032 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020050334. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050345. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5035 to be installed on your target system.
50366. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5037 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005038
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005039
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005040Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5041==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005042
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005043If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5044or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005045provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5046the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005047official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005048
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005049But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5050cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005051the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5052just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005053for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5054select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5055environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5056you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005057
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005058 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005059
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005060or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005061
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005062 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005063
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005064When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5065U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5066setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5067built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5068<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5069location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5070variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005071
5072 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5073 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5074 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5075
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005076With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5077log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5078during the whole build process.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005141Environment Variables:
5142======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005143
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005144U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5145can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005146
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005147Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5148"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5149without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5150environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5151working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5152environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005153
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005154Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5155
5156List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005157
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005158 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005159
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005160 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005161
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005162 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005163
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005164 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005165
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005166 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005167
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005168 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5169 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5170 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5171 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5172 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5173 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005174 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5175 bootm_mapsize.
5176
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005177 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005178 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5179 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5180 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5181 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5182 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5183 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005184
5185 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5186 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5187 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5188 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5189 environment variable.
5190
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005191 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5192 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5193 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5194
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005195 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5196 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5197 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5198 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005199
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005200 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5201 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5202 be automatically started (by internally calling
5203 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005204
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005205 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5206 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5207 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5208 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5209 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005210
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005211 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5212 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005213 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5214 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5215 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5216 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5217 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5218 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5219 access it during the boot procedure.
5220
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005221 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5222 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5223 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5224 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5225 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5226 must be accessible by the kernel.
5227
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005228 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5229 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5230 defined.
5231
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005232 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5233 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5234 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5235 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5236 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5237
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005238 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5239 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5240 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5241 is usually what you want since it allows for
5242 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5243 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005244 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005245 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5246 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5247 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5248 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005249
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005250 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5251 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5252 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5253 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5254 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5255 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005256
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005257 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005258
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005259 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5260 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5261 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5262 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5263 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5264 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5265 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005266
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005267 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005269 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5270 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005271

wdenk6f770ed2003-05-23 23:18:21 +00005275
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005276 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005277

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005279
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005280 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005281
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005282 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005283
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005284 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5285 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005286
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005287 => setenv ethact FEC
5288 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5289 => setenv ethact SCC
5290 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005291
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005292 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5293 available network interfaces.
5294 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5295
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005296 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005297 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5298 When set to "once" the network operation will
5299 fail when all the available network interfaces
5300 are tried once without success.
5301 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5302 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005303
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD1948d6c2009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005304 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDd2164ef2008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005305
Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005306 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5307 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5308 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5309 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5310 is silent.
5311
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005312 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005313 UDP source port.
5314
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005315 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5316 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5317
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005318 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5319 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5320
5321 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5322 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5323 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5324 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5325 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5326 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5327 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5328
5329 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005330 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005331 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005332
Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005333The following image location variables contain the location of images
5334used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5335not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5336variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5337server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5338loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5339flash or offset in NAND flash.
5340
5341*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5342boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5343boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005352The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5353updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5354depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005355
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005356 bootfile - see above
5357 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5358 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5359 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5360 hostname - Target hostname
5361 ipaddr - see above
5362 netmask - Subnet Mask
5363 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5364 serverip - see above
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005365
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005366
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005367There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005368
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005369 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5370 as type string and/or serial number
5371 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005372
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005373These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5374the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5375once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005376
5377
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005378Further special Environment Variables:

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005389Callback functions for environment variables:
5390---------------------------------------------
5391
5392For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5393when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5394be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5395deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5396effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5397
5398The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5399U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5400
5401These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5402static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5403in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5404associations. The list must be in the following format:
5405
5406 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5407 list = entry[,list]
5408
5409If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5410Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5411
5412Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5413with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5414override any association in the static list. You can define
5415CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5416".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005419Command Line Parsing:
5420=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005421
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005422There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5423the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005424
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005425Old, simple command line parser:
5426--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005427
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005428- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5429- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005430- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005431- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5432 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005433 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005434- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5435 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005436
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005437Hush shell:
5438-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005439
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005440- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5441 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5442 until...do...done, ...
5443- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5444 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5445 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5446 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005447
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005448General rules:
5449--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005450
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005451(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5452 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5453 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5454 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005455
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005456(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005457 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005458 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5459 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005460
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005461Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5462=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005463
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005464Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005465such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5466"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005467
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005468Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5469MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5470"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005471
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005472If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5473in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5474ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5475variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005476
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005477o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5478 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005479
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005480o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5481 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5482 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005483
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005484o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5485 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005486
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005487o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5488 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5489 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005490
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005491o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5492 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005493
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005494If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005495will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005496may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5497The naming convention is as follows:
5498"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005499
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005500Image Formats:
5501==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005502
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005503U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5504images in two formats:
5505
5506New uImage format (FIT)
5507-----------------------
5508
5509Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5510to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5511components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5512SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5513
5514
5515Old uImage format
5516-----------------
5517
5518Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5519preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5520details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005521
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005522* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005536The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5537and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5538CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005539
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005540
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005541Linux Support:
5542==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005543
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005544Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5545easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5546U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005547
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005548U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5549special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5550"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5551instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5552serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005553
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005554- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5555 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5556 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005557
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005558- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5559 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005560
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005561- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5562 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5563 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5564 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5565 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5566 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005567
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005568
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005569Linux HOWTO:
5570============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005571
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005572Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5573---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005574
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005575U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5576configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5577(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5578Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005579
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005580But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005581
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005582Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5583include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005584Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5585and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005586as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005587
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005588Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5589If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5590is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5591doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005593
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005594Configuring the Linux kernel:
5595-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005596
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005597No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5598device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005599
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005600
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005601Building a Linux Image:
5602-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005603
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005604With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5605not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5606"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5607U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5608which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5609100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005610
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005611Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005612
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005613 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005614 make oldconfig
5615 make dep
5616 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005617
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005618The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5619encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5620CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005621
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005622* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005623
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005624* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005625
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005626 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5627 -R .note -R .comment \
5628 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005629
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005630* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005631
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005632 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005633
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005634* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005635
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005636 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5637 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5638 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005639
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005640
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005641The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5642with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5643combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5644byte header containing information about target architecture,
5645operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5646stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005647
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005648"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5649print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005650
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005651In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5652contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5653checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005654
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005655 tools/mkimage -l image
5656 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005657
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005658The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5659from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005660
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005661 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5662 -n name -d data_file image
5663 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5664 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5665 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5666 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5667 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5668 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5669 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5670 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005671
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005672Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5673address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5674kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005675
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005676- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5677- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005678
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005679So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005680

Guilherme Maciel Ferreira51553812013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005733The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5734option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5735option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5736from the image:
5737
5738 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5739 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005743Installing a Linux Image:
5744-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005745
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005746To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5747you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005748
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005749 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005750
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005751The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5752image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5753address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5754specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5755command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005756
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005757Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5758TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005926U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005927
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005928 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5929 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5930 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5931 the Standalone Program.
5932 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5933 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5934 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5935 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5936 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5937 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5938 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5939 being started.
5940 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5941 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5942 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5943 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5944 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5945 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005946
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005947 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5948 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5949 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5950 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5951 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5952 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005953
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005954 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5955 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5956 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005957
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005958 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5959 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5960 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5961 as command interpreter.

5964-------------------------
5965
5966On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5967using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5968as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5969
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005970Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005971kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5972address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5973format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005979One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5980run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5981U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005982
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005983Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005988'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5989application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5990It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5991like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006017Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6018handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6019Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6020The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6021character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6022controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006023
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006024 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6025 b - enable interrupts and start timer

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006088Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6089(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006090
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006091Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6092NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6093need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6094Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6095attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6096missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006097
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006098 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6099 # mkdir powerpc
6100 # ln -s powerpc machine
6101 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6102 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006103
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006104Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6105and U-Boot include files.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006107Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6108stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6109proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6110tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6115=========================

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006117The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6118implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6119inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6120hardware.

6124---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006125
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006126The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6127starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6128system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6129This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6130is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6131at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6132options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6133models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6134MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6135locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006136
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006137 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006145 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6146 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6147 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6148 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6149 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006150 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006151 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6152 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006153
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006154 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6155 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006156 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006157 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6158 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6159 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6160 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006161
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006162 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006163 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6164 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006165 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006166 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6167 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6168 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6169 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6170 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006175It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6176code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006177
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006178* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6179 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006180
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006181* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006182 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6183 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006184
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006185* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6186 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006187
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006188Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6189normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6190turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6191simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6192functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6193functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6194the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6195place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6196reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006197
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006198When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6199relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6200GCC's implementation.

Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006204 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006205 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6206 R5-R10: parameter passing
6207 R13: small data area pointer
6208 R30: GOT pointer
6209 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006210
Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006211 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6212 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6213 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006214
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006215 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006216
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006217 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6218 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6219 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6220 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6221 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6222 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006229On ARM, the following registers are used:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006230
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006231 R0: function argument word/integer result
6232 R1-R3: function argument word
Jeroen Hofsteea556aca2013-09-21 14:04:42 +02006233 R9: platform specific
6234 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006235 R11: argument (frame) pointer
6236 R12: temporary workspace
6237 R13: stack pointer
6238 R14: link register
6239 R15: program counter
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006240
Jeroen Hofsteea556aca2013-09-21 14:04:42 +02006241 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6242
6243 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006244
Thomas Chou8fa38582010-05-21 11:08:03 +08006245On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6246 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6247
6248 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6249
6250 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6251 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6252
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00006253On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6254
6255 R0-R1: argument/return
6256 R2-R5: argument
6257 R15: temporary register for assembler
6258 R16: trampoline register
6259 R28: frame pointer (FP)
6260 R29: global pointer (GP)
6261 R30: link register (LP)
6262 R31: stack pointer (SP)
6263 PC: program counter (PC)
6264
6265 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6266
Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02006267NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6268or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006270Memory Management:
6271------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006272
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006273U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6274MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006275
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006276The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6277controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6278memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6279physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006280
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006281U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6282TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6283booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6284to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006285memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006286configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6287Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006288
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006289Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6290of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006291
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006292So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6293this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006294
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006295 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6296 :
6297 0x0000 1FFF
6298 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6299 :
6300 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006301
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006302 :
6303 :
6304 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6305 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6306 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6307 :
6308 0x00FD FFFF
6309 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6310 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6311 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6312 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006313
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006314
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006315System Initialization:
6316----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006317
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006318In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006319(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006320configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6321To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6322To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6323initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6324which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6325part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6326the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006327
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006328Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6329preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6330(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6331on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6332programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6333simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6334banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006335
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006336When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6337different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6338bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63390x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6340contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006341
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006342Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6343and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6344Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6345pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006346
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006347Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6348until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6349running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6350new address in RAM.

Albert ARIBAUD48e910f2013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006480* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6481 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006486* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6487 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006488 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006489 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6490 with some other mail clients.
wdenkca9bc762003-07-15 07:45:49 +00006491
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006492 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6493 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6494 GNU diff.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006496 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6497 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6498 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6499 affected files).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006504* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6505 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00006506
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006507* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6508 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006511Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006512
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006513* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6514 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6515 for any of the boards.
6516
6517* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6518 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6519 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006520
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006521* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6522 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6523 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6524 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6525 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6526 modification.

Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006528* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6529 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6530 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6531 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
