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
275See board/sandbox/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
276
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:
295

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000622 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
623
624 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
625 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
626 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
627 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
628 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
629 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
630 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000631 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100632 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

673
674 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
675 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
676 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
677 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and

739
John Rigby34e21ee2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000740 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
741
742 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
743 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
744 this variable to initialize the extra register.
745
746 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
747
748 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage

755 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000756
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000757- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000758 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
759 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
760 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
761 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000762
763 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
764 port routines must be defined elsewhere
765 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
766
767 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
768 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following

Pali Rohár4a57da32012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000806 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
807 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
808 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
809
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000810 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
811 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
812 environment 'console=serial'.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000813
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000814 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
815 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
816 the "silent" environment variable. See
817 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenk3da587e2003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000818
Heiko Schocher62759562013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200819 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
820 is 0x00.
821 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
822 is 0xa0.
823
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000824- Console Baudrate:
825 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
826 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200827 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
828 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000829
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100830- Console Rx buffer length
831 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
832 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100833 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100834 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
835 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
836 the SMC.
837
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000838- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200839 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
840 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
841 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
842 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
843 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
844 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
845 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200846 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200847 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000848
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200849 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
850 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000851
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000852- Safe printf() functions
853 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
854 the printf() functions. These are defined in
855 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
856 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
857 If this option is not given then these functions will
858 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
859 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
860
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000861- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
862 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
863 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000864 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
865 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000866
867 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
868 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
869 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
870 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
871 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
872 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
873 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
874 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
875 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
877 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
878 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
879
880- Autoboot Command:
881 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
882 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
883 define a command string that is automatically executed
884 when no character is read on the console interface
885 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
886
887 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000888 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
889 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
890 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000891
892 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000893 The value of these goes into the environment as
894 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
895 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200896 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000897
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100898- Bootcount:
899 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
900 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
901 cycle, see:
902 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
903
904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
905 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
906 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
907 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
908 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
909 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
910 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
911 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
912 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
913
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000914- Pre-Boot Commands:
915 CONFIG_PREBOOT
916
917 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
918 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
919 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
920 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
921 entering interactive mode.
922
923 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
924 automatically generated or modified. For an example
925 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
926 modified when the user holds down a certain
927 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
928 booting the systems
929
930- Serial Download Echo Mode:
931 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
932 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
933 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
934 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
935 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
936 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
937 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
938
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500939- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000940 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
941 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200942 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000943
944- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500945 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
946 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000947 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
948 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500949 and augmenting with additional #define's
950 for wanted commands.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000951
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500952 The default command configuration includes all commands
953 except those marked below with a "*".

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001069
1070 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001071 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001072 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1073 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1074 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1075 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1076 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1077 initial stack and some data.

1080 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1081
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001082- Regular expression support:
1083 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001084 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1085 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1086 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1087 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001088
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001089- Device tree:
1090 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1091 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1092 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1093 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1094 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1095 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1096
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001097 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1098 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001099
1100 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1101 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1102 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1103 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1104 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1105 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001106
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001107 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1108 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1109 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1110 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1111
1112 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1113
1114 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1115 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1116 still use the individual files if you need something more
1117 exotic.
1118
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001119- Watchdog:
1120 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1121 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001122 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1123 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1124 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1125 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1126 available, then no further board specific code should
1127 be needed to use it.
1128
1129 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1130 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1131 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1132 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001133
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001134- U-Boot Version:
1135 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1136 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1137 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1138 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001139 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1140 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001141
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001142- Real-Time Clock:
1143
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001144 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001145 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1146 following options:
1147
1148 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1149 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001150 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001151 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
wdenk1fe2c702003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001152 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001153 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001154 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
wdenkef5fe752003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001155 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krillb27939b2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001156 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenkaeba06f2004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001157 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001158 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001159 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1160 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001161
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001162 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1163 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1164
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001165- GPIO Support:
1166 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001167
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001168 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1169 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1170 pins supported by a particular chip.
1171
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001172 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1173 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1174
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001175- I/O tracing:
1176 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1177 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1178 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1179 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1180 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1181 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1182 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1183 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1184
1185 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1186 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1187 still continue to operate.
1188
1189 iotrace is enabled
1190 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1191 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1192 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1193 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1194 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1195 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1196
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001197- Timestamp Support:
1198
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001199 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1200 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1201 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001202 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001203
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001204- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1205 Zero or more of the following:
1206 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1207 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1208 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1209 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1210 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1211 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1212 disk/part_efi.c
1213 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001214
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001215 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1216 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001217 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001218
1219- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001220 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1221 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001222
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001223 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1224 be performed by calling the function
1225 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1226 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001227
1228- ATAPI Support:
1229 CONFIG_ATAPI
1230
1231 Set this to enable ATAPI support.

wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001233- LBA48 Support
1234 CONFIG_LBA48
1235
1236 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher0f602e12009-12-03 11:21:21 +01001237 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001238 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1239 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1240
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001241 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001242 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1243 Default is 32bit.
1244
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001245- SCSI Support:
1246 At the moment only there is only support for the
1247 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1248 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1249
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001250 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1251 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1252 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001253 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1254 devices.
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001255 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001256
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001257 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1258 SCSI devices found during the last scan.
Stefan Reinauere50a10e2012-10-29 05:23:48 +00001259
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001260- NETWORK Support (PCI):

Kyle Moffett64b94dd2011-10-18 11:05:29 +00001262 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1263
1264 CONFIG_E1000_SPI
1265 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1266 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1267 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1268
1269 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1270 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1271 example with the "sspi" command.
1272
1273 CONFIG_CMD_E1000
1274 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1275 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00001276
Andre Schwarz68c2a302008-03-06 16:45:44 +01001277 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC

1587 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1588 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1589 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1590
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001591 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1592 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1593 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1594 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1595 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1596 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1597
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001598 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1599 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1600 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1601 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1602
1603 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1604 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1605 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1606 sending again an USB request to the device.

Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001813 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1814
1815 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1816 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1817 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1818 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1819 a per-section basis.

1822
1823 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1824 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1825 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1826 is slow.

wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001837- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001838
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001839 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1840 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1841 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001842 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001843 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1844 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1845 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1846 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001847
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001848 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1849
1850 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1851 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini958a8f82014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001852 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001853 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1854 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1855 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1856 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1857 there is no need to set this option.
1858
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001859 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1860
1861 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1862 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1863 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1864 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1865 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1866 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1867
1868 Example:
1869 setenv splashpos m,m
1870 => image at center of screen
1871
1872 setenv splashpos 30,20
1873 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1874
1875 setenv splashpos -10,m
1876 => vertically centered image
1877 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1878
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001879- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1880
1881 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1882 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1883 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1884
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001885- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1886
1887 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1888 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1889 bmp command.
1890
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001891- Do compresssing for memory range:
1892 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1893
1894 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1895 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1896
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001897- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001898 CONFIG_GZIP
1899
1900 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1901
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001902 CONFIG_BZIP2
1903
1904 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1905 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1906 compressed images are supported.
1907
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001908 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001909 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001910 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001911
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001912 CONFIG_LZMA
1913
1914 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1915 images is included.
1916
1917 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1918 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1919 formula:
1920
1921 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1922
1923 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1924 and Literal pos bits.
1925
1926 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1927 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1928 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1929 a very small buffer.
1930
1931 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1932 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001933 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001934
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001935 CONFIG_LZO
1936
1937 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1938 is included.

1951 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001952 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001953
1954 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1955
1956 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1957 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1958 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1959 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1960
1961 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1962

1995 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1996 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1997
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001998- Gateway IP address:
1999 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2000
2001 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2002 default router where packets to other networks are
2003 sent to.
2004 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2005
2006- Subnet mask:
2007 CONFIG_NETMASK
2008
2009 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or

David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002015- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2016 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2017
2018 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2019 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002020 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002021 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2022 multicast group.
2023
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002024- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2025 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2026
2027 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2028 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2029 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2030 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2031 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2032 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2033 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2034 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002035 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002036
2037 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2038 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2039 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2040 4th and following
2041 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002061 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2062 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002063
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002064 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2065 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2066 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2067 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2068 is not available.
2069
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002070 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2071 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2072 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2073 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2074 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2075 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2076 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002077 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002078
2079 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2080 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2081 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002082 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002083 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2084 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002086 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2087
2088 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2089 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2090 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2091 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2092 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2093 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2094 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2095 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2096 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2097 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2098 this delay.
2099
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002100 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2101 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2102 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2103 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2104 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002150- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2151
2152 Several configurations allow to display the current
2153 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2154 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2155 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2156 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2157 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2158 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2159 feature in U-Boot.
2160
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002161 Additional options:
2162
2163 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2164 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2165 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2166 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2167 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2168
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002169 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2170 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2171 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2172 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2173 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2174 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2175
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002176- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2177

2179 on those systems that support this (optional)
2180 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002358- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002359
2360 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2361 provides the following compelling advantages:
2362
2363 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2364 - approved multibus support
2365 - better i2c mux support
2366
2367 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002368
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002369 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2370 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2371 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002372
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002373 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002374 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002375 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2376 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002377 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002378
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002379 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002380
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002381 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002382 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002383
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002384 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002385 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002386 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002387 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002388
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002389 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002390 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002391 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2392 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2393 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002394
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002395 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2396
2397 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2398 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2399 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2400 commands until the slave device responds.
2401
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002402 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002403
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002404 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002405 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2406 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002407
2408 I2C_INIT
2409
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002410 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002411 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002412
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002413 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002414
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002415 I2C_PORT
2416
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002417 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2418 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2419 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002420
2421 I2C_ACTIVE
2422
2423 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2424 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2425 define can be null.
2426
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002427 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2428
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002429 I2C_TRISTATE
2430
2431 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2432 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2433 define can be null.
2434
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002435 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2436
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002437 I2C_READ
2438
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002439 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2440 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002441
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002442 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2443
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002444 I2C_SDA(bit)
2445
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002446 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2447 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002448
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002449 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002450 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002451 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002452
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002453 I2C_SCL(bit)
2454
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002455 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2456 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002457
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002458 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002459 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002460 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002461
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002462 I2C_DELAY
2463
2464 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2465 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002466 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002467 like:
2468
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002469 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002470
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002471 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2472
2473 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2474 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2475 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2476 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2477
2478 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2479 the generic GPIO functions.
2480
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002481 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002482
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002483 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2484 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2485 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2486 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2487 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2488 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2489 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2490 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002491
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002492 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2493
2494 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2495 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2496 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2497 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2498 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2499 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2500 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2501 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2502
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002503 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2504
2505 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2506 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2507 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2508
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002509 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2510
2511 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002512 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2513 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002514 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2515
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002516 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002517
2518 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002519 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002520 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2521 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002522
2523 e.g.
2524 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002525 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002526
2527 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2528
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002529 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002530 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002531
2532 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2533
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002534 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002535
2536 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2537 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2538
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002539 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002540
2541 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2542 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2543
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002544 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002545
2546 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2547 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2548
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002549 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002550
2551 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2552 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2553 specified DTT device.
2554
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002555 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2556
2557 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2558 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2559 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2560 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2561 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2562 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2563 the other.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002565- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2566
2567 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2568 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2569 D/As on the SACSng board)
2570
Yoshihiro Shimoda65bd9b42011-01-31 16:50:43 +09002571 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2572
2573 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2574 only SH7757 is supported.
2575
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002576 CONFIG_SPI_X
2577
2578 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2579 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2580
2581 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2582
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002583 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2584 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2585 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2586 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2587 defined, the board configuration must define several
2588 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2589 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002590
Ben Warren7efe9272008-01-16 22:37:35 -05002591 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2592
2593 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2594 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2595 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002596 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an

2683 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2684
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002685 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2686 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002687
2688- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2689
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002690 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2691 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002692 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002693 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2694 protects these variables from casual modification by
2695 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2696 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002697 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002698
2699 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2700 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002701 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002702 these parameters.
2703
2704 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2705 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002706 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002707 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2708 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2709 read-only.]
2710
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002711 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2712 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2713 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2714 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2715
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002716- Protected RAM:
2717 CONFIG_PRAM
2718
2719 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2720 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2721 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2722 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2723 this default value by defining an environment
2724 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2725 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2726 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2727 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2728 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2729 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2730 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2731
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002732 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002733 saveenv
2734
2735 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2736 either, which results in a memory region that will
2737 not be affected by reboots.
2738
2739 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2740 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2741 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2742 following board configurations are known to be
2743 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002749- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2750 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2751 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2752 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2753 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2754 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2755 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2756
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002757- Error Recovery:
2758 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2759
2760 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2761 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2762 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002763 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002764 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2765 useful during development since you can try to debug
2766 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2767
2768 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2769
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002770 This variable defines the number of retries for
2771 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2772 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2773 default value of 5 is used.

2778
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002779 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2780
2781 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2782 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2783 try longer timeout such as
2784 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002788
2789 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2790
Wolfgang Denk018147d2006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002791 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2792 for the "hush" shell.

2794
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002795 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002796
2797 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2798 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2799 powerful command line syntax like
2800 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2801 constructs ("shell scripts").
2802
2803 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2804 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2805
2806
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002807 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002808
2809 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2810 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2811 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2812
2813 Note:
2814
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002815 In the current implementation, the local variables
2816 space and global environment variables space are
2817 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2818 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2819 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2820 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2821 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002822
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002823 Global environment variables are those you use
2824 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2825 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2826 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002827
2828 To store commands and special characters in a
2829 variable, please use double quotation marks
2830 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2831 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2832 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002841 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2842
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002843 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2844 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002845 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002846
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002847 For example, place something like this in your
2848 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002849
2850 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2851 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2852 "myvar2=value2\0"
2853
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002854 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2855 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2856 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2857 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002858 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002859 You better know what you are doing here.
2860
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002861 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2862 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002863 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002864 boot command first.

Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002866 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2867
2868 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2869 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2870 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2871
2872 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2873
2874 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2875 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2876 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2877 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2878 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2879
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002880 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2881
2882 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2883 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2884 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2885
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002886 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2887
2888 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2889 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2890 that so that the environment is not available until
2891 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2892 this is instead controlled by the value of
2893 /config/load-environment.
2894

wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002896 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2897
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002898 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2899 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2900 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002901
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002902- Serial Flash support
2903 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2904
2905 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2906 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2907
2908 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2909 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2910 commands.
2911
2912 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2913 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2914 flash is present on the system.
2915
2916 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2917 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2918 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)

2929 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2930
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302931 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2932
2933 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2934 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2935 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2936
Heiko Schocherd73b7ec2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02002937 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
2938 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
2939 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
2940 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
2941 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
2942 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
2943 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
2944 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
2945 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
2946 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
2947
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002948- SystemACE Support:
2949 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2950
2951 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2952 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002953 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002954 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002955
2956 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002957 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002958
2959 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2960 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2961
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002962- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2963 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2964
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002965 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002966 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002967 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002968 number generator is used.
2969
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002970 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2971 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2972 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2973
2974 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002975 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2976 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2977 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2978 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2979 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2980 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2981
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002982- Hashing support:
2983 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2984
2985 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2986 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2987
2988 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2989
2990 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2991 size a little.
2992
2993 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2994 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2995
2996 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2997 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2998
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002999- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3000 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3001 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3002 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3003
3004 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3005 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3006 a boot from specific media.
3007
3008 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3009 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3010 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3011 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3012 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3013
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003014- Signing support:
3015 CONFIG_RSA
3016
3017 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel49dc73b2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003018 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003019
3020 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3021 option.
3022
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003023- bootcount support:
3024 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3025
3026 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3027 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3028
3029 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3030 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3031 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3032 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3033 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3034 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3035 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3036 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3037 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3038 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3039 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3040 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3041 the bootcounter.
3042 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003044- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003045 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3046
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003047 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3048 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3049 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3050 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3051 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3052 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003053
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003054- Detailed boot stage timing
3055 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3056 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3057 of the boot process.
3058
3059 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3060 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3061 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3062 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3063 the limit, recording will stop.
3064
3065 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3066 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3067
3068 Timer summary in microseconds:
3069 Mark Elapsed Stage
3070 0 0 reset
3071 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3072 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
3073 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done

3076 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3077 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3078
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003079 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3080 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3081 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3082
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003083 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3084 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3085 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3086 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3087 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3088 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3089 For example:
3090
3091 bootstage {
3092 154 {
3093 name = "board_init_f";
3094 mark = <3575678>;
3095 };
3096 170 {
3097 name = "lcd";
3098 accum = <33482>;
3099 };
3100 };
3101
3102 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3310 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3311 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3312 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3313 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3314 configured panel size.

3601- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3602 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3603
3604- Modem debug support:
3605 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3606
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003607 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3608 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003610- Interrupt support (PPC):
3611
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003612 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3613 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003614 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003615 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003616 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003617 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003618 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003619 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3620 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3621 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003623- General:
3624
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003625 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3626 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3627 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003628 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003629 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3630 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3631 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003632
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003633 If there are no modem init strings in the
3634 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3635 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003636 suppressed, though.

3641------------------------------
3642
3643During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3644to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3645before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3646following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3647architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3648typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3649
3650- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()

3697
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003698- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003699 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3700 simple memory test.
3701
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003702- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003704
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003705- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5958f4a2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003706 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3707 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3708
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003709- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3710 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003711 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003712 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003713 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3714 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3715 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003716 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003717 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003718 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003719
3720 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3721 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3722 be touched.
3723
3724 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3725 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3726 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3727 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3728 problems.

3738 Cogent motherboard)
3739
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003740- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:

3742
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003743- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003744 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3745 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk0708bc62010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003746 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003747 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003749- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003750 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3751 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3752 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3753 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003754
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003755- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:

3757
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003758- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3759 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3760 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3761 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3762 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3763 space.
3764
3765 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3766 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3767 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3768 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3769 U-Boot relocates itself.
3770
Simon Glass0cc6f5c2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06003771 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on sandbox
3772 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3773
Simon Glass1f36da02014-07-10 22:23:29 -06003774 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM at present
3775 but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3776
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003777- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003778 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3779 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003780 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003781 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3782
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003783- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:

3787 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003788 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003789 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003790 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003791 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3792 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3793 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003827 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3828 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3829
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003830- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003831
3832 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3833 without this option such a download has to be
3834 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3835 copy from RAM to flash.
3836
3837 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3838 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003839 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3840 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003841 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.

3852 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3853 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3854 to the MTD layer.
3855
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003856- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski183284f2008-04-03 13:36:02 +02003857 Use buffered writes to flash.
3858
3859- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3860 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3861 write commands.
3862
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003863- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roesec443fe92005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003864 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3865 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3866 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3867 optionally available.
3868
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003869- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3870 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3871 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3872 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3873
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003874- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3875 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3876 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3877 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3878 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3879 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3880 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3881 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3882
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003883- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003884 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3885 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003886 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3887 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003888 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003889 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3890
Wolfgang Denk460a9ff2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02003891- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3892
Wolfgang Denk1136f692010-10-27 22:48:30 +02003893 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3894 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3895 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3896 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3897 lib/hashtable.c for details.

3900- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003901 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003902 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3903 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3904 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3905
3906 The format of the list is:
3907 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]

3911 list = entry[,list]
3912
3913 The type attributes are:
3914 s - String (default)
3915 d - Decimal
3916 x - Hexadecimal
3917 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3918 i - IP address

3926
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003927 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3928 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3929 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3930
3931 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3932 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3933 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3934 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3935 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3936 ".flags" variable.
3937
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003938- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3939 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3940 access flags.
3941
Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003942- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3943 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3944 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3945 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3946 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3947 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3948 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3949 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3950 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3951
Lokesh Vutla100c2d82013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003952- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3953 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3954 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3955 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003957The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3958of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3959following configurations:
3960
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003961- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3962
3963 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3964 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3965
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003966- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003967
3968 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3969
3970 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3971 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3972 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3973 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3974 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3975 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3976 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3977 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3978 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3979 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3980 between U-Boot and the environment.
3981
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003982 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003983
3984 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3985 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3986 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3987 for this sector is given here.
3988
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003989 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003990
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003991 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003992
3993 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3994 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003995 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003996
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003997 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003998
3999 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4000
4001
4002 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4003 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4004 the environment.
4005
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004006 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004007
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004008 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004009 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004010 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4011 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4012
4013 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4014 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4015 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4016 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4017 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4018 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4019 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4020 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4021 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4022
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004023 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4024 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004025
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004026 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004027 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004028 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004029 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004030
4031BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4032source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4033accordingly!
4034
4035
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004036- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004037
4038 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4039 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4040 environment.
4041
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004042 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4043 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004044
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004045 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004046 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4047 can just be read and written to, without any special
4048 provision.
4049
4050BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4051in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004052console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004053U-Boot will hang.
4054
4055Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4056environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4057keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4058to save the current settings.
4059
4060
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004061- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004062
4063 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4064 device and a driver for it.
4065
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004066 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4067 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004068
4069 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4070 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4071
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004072 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004073 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4074 The default address is zero.
4075
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004076 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004077 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4078 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4079 would require six bits.
4080
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004081 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004082 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004083 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004084
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004085 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004086 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4087 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4088
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004089 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004090 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4091 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4092 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4093 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4094 byte chips.
4095
4096 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4097 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4098 in the chip address.
4099
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004100 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004101 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4102
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004103 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4104 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4105 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4106
4107 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4108 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4109 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4110 EEPROM. For example:
4111
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004112 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004113
4114 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4115 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004116
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD2b14d2b2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02004117- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00004119 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004120 want to use for the environment.
4121

4124 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004125
4126 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4127 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4128 at the specified address.
4129
Wu, Josh76db7bf2014-07-01 19:30:13 +08004130- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4131
4132 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4133 want to use for the environment.
4134
4135 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4136 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4137
4138 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4139 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4140 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4141
4142 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4143
4144 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4145
4146 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4147
4148 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4149 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4150 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4151 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4152 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4153
4154 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4155 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4156
4157 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4158
4159 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4160
4161 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4162
4163 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4164
4165 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4166
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004167- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4168
4169 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4170 want to use for the local device's environment.
4171
4172 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4173 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4174
4175 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4176 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4177 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004178 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004179
4180BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4181"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the

wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004186
4187 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4188 for the environment.

4191 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004192
4193 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004194 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4195 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004197 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004198
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004199 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004200 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4201 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004202 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004203 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4204
4205 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4206
4207 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4208 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4209 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4210 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4211 the range to be avoided.
4212
4213 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004214
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004215 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4216 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4217 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4218 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4219 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004220
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004221- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4222
4223 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4224 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4225 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4226
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004227- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4228
4229 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4230 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4231 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4232
4233 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4234
4235 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4236
4237 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4238
4239 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4240 environment in.
4241
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004242 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4243
4244 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4245 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4246 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4247
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004248 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4249 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4250
4251 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4252 when storing the env in UBI.
4253
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004254- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4255 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4256
4257 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4258
4259 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4260
4261 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4262
4263 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4264 be as following:
4265
4266 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4267 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4268 partition table.
4269 - "D:0": device D.
4270 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4271 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4272 table.
4273 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4274 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4275 partition table then means device D.
4276
4277 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4278
4279 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4280 envrionment.
4281
4282 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4283 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4284
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004285- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4286
4287 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4288 environment.
4289
4290 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4291
4292 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4293
4294 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4295
4296 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4297 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4298 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4299
4300 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4301 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4302
4303 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4304 area within the specified MMC device.
4305
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004306 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4307 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4308 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4309 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4310 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4311 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4312 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4313
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004314 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4315 MMC sector boundary.
4316
4317 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4318
4319 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4320 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4321 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4322 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4323
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004324 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4325 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4326
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004327 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4328 an MMC sector boundary.
4329
4330 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4331
4332 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4333 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4334 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4335
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004336- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004337
4338 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4339 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4340 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4341 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4342 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4343 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4344 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4345
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004346Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004347has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004348created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004349until then to read environment variables.
4350
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004351The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4352is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4353with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4354necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4355"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4356have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004357
4358Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4359the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004360use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004364
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004365 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004366 also needs to be defined.
4367
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004368- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004371- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4372 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4373 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4374 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4375 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4376 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4377
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004378- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4379 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4380 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4381 to do this.
4382
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004383- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4384 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4385 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4386 present.

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004396
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004397 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4398 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004401- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4402 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4403 PowerPC SOCs.
4404
4405- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4406 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4407 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4408
4409 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4410 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4411
4412- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4413 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4414 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004415 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004416 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4417 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4418 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4419
4420 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4421 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4422
4423- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004424 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4425 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004426 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4427 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4428
4429- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4430 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4431 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4432 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4433
4434- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4435 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4436 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004650- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4651 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4652
4653- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4654 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004655 to the given FEC; i. e.
4656 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004657 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4658
4659 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4660
4661- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4662 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4663 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4664

4686 "md/mw" commands.
4687 Examples:
4688
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004689 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004690 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.

4694
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004695 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004696 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004698- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004699 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004700 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4701 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4702 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004703
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004704 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4705 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4706 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4707 these initializations itself.

4715 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4716 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4717 It is loaded by the SPL.
4718
Ying Zhang0d4f5442013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004719- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4720 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4721 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4722 previous 4k of the .text section.
4723
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004724- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4725 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4726 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4727 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4728 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4729 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4730 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4731 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4732
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004733- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4734 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4735 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4736 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4737 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4738
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004739- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4740 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4741 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004756Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4757-----------------------------------
4758
4759The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4760loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4761This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4762are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4763within that device.
4764
Zhao Qiang83a90842014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004765- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4766 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4767 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4768 is also specified.
4769
4770- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4771 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004772 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4773 is also specified.
4774
4775- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4776 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4777 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4778 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4779 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4780
4781- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4782 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4783 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4784 virtual address in NOR flash.
4785
4786- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4787 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4788 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4789
4790- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4791 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4792 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4793
4794- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4795 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4796 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4797
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004798- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4799 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4800 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004801 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4802 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4803 master's memory space.

J. German Rivera8ff14b72014-06-23 15:15:55 -07004805Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4806---------------------------------------------------------
4807The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4808"firmware".
4809This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4810are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4811within that device.
4812
4813- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4814 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4815
4816- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4817 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4818 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4819 is also specified.
4820
4821- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4822 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4823 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4824 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4825 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4826
4827- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4828 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4829 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4830 virtual address in NOR flash.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004832Building the Software:
4833======================
4834
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004835Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4836and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4837all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4838(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4839recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4840which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004841
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004842If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4843have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4844you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4845Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4846necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004847
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004848 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4849 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004850
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004851Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4852 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4853 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4854 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4855
4856 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4857
4858 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4859 be executed on computers running Windows.
4860
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004861U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4862sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004863is done by typing:
4864
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004865 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004866
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004867where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004868rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004869
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004870Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4871 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4872 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4873 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004874 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004875
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004876 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004877 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004878
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004879 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004880 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004881
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004882 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004883
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004884
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004885Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4886images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004887
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004888- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4889- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4890- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004891
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004892By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4893in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4894this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4895
48961. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4897
4898 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004899 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004900 make O=/tmp/build all
4901
49022. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4903
4904 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4905 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004906 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004907 make all
4908
4909Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4910variable.
4911
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004912
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004913Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4914for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4915native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004916
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004917
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004918If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4919to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4920steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004921
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000049221. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004923 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4924 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000049252. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4926 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4927 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
49283. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4929 your board
49303. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4931 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020049324. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000049335. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4934 to be installed on your target system.
49356. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4936 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004937
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004938
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004939Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4940==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004941
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004942If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4943or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004944provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4945the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004946official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004947
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004948But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4949cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004950the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4951just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004952for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4953select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4954environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4955you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004956
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004957 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004958
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004959or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004960
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004961 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004962
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004963When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4964U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4965setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4966built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4967<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4968location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4969variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004970
4971 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4972 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4973 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4974
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004975With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4976log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4977during the whole build process.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005042
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005043U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5044can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005045
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005046Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5047"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5048without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5049environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5050working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5051environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005063 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005064
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005065 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005066
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005067 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5068 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5069 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5070 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5071 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5072 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005073 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5074 bootm_mapsize.
5075
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005076 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005077 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5078 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5079 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5080 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5081 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5082 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005083
5084 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5085 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5086 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5087 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5088 environment variable.
5089
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005090 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5091 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5092 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5093
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005094 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5095 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5096 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5097 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005098
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005099 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5100 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5101 be automatically started (by internally calling
5102 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005103
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005104 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5105 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5106 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5107 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5108 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005109
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005110 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5111 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005112 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5113 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5114 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5115 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5116 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5117 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5118 access it during the boot procedure.
5119
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005120 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5121 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5122 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5123 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5124 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5125 must be accessible by the kernel.
5126
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005127 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5128 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5129 defined.
5130
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005131 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5132 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5133 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5134 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5135 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5136
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005137 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5138 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5139 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5140 is usually what you want since it allows for
5141 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5142 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005143 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005144 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5145 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5146 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5147 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005148
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005149 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5150 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5151 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5152 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5153 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5154 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005155
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005156 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005157
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005158 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5159 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5160 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5161 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5162 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5163 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5164 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005183 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5184 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005185
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005186 => setenv ethact FEC

Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005191 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5192 available network interfaces.
5193 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5194
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005195 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005196 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5197 When set to "once" the network operation will
5198 fail when all the available network interfaces
5199 are tried once without success.
5200 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5201 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005202
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD1948d6c2009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005203 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDd2164ef2008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005204
Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005205 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5206 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5207 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5208 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5209 is silent.
5210
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005211 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005212 UDP source port.
5213
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005214 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5215 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5216
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005217 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5218 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5219
5220 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5221 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5222 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5223 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5224 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5225 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5226 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5227
5228 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005229 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005232The following image location variables contain the location of images
5233used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5234not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5235variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5236server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5237loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5238flash or offset in NAND flash.
5239
5240*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5241boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5242boards use these variables for other purposes.

5252updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5253depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005254
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005255 bootfile - see above
5256 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5257 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5258 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5259 hostname - Target hostname
5260 ipaddr - see above
5261 netmask - Subnet Mask
5262 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5263 serverip - see above

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005266There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005267
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005268 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5269 as type string and/or serial number
5270 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005271
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005272These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5273the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5274once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005275
5276
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005277Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005278
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005279 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5280 with the "version" command. This variable is
5281 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005288Callback functions for environment variables:
5289---------------------------------------------
5290
5291For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5292when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5293be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5294deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5295effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5296
5297The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5298U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5299
5300These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5301static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5302in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5303associations. The list must be in the following format:
5304
5305 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5306 list = entry[,list]
5307
5308If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5309Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5310
5311Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5312with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5313override any association in the static list. You can define
5314CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5315".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005318Command Line Parsing:
5319=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005320
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005321There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5322the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005323
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005324Old, simple command line parser:
5325--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005326
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005327- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5328- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005329- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005330- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5331 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005332 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005333- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5334 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005335

5337-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005338
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005339- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5340 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5341 until...do...done, ...
5342- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5343 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5344 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5345 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005346
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005347General rules:
5348--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005349
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005350(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5351 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5352 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5353 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005354
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005355(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005356 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005357 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5358 variables are not executed.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005360Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5361=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005362
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005363Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005364such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5365"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005366
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005367Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5368MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5369"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005370
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005371If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5372in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5373ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5374variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005375
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005376o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5377 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005378
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005379o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5380 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5381 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005382
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005383o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5384 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005385
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005386o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5387 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5388 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005389
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005390o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5391 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005392
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005393If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005394will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005395may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5396The naming convention is as follows:
5397"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005398
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005399Image Formats:
5400==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005401
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005402U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5403images in two formats:
5404
5405New uImage format (FIT)
5406-----------------------
5407
5408Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5409to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5410components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5411SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5412
5413
5414Old uImage format
5415-----------------
5416
5417Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5418preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5419details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005420

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005439
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005440Linux Support:
5441==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005442
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005443Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5444easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5445U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005446
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005447U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5448special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5449"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5450instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5451serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005452
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005453- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5454 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5455 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005456
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005457- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5458 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005459
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005460- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5461 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5462 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5463 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5464 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5465 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005466
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005467
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005468Linux HOWTO:
5469============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005470
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005471Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5472---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005473
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005474U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5475configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5476(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5477Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005478
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005479But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005480
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005481Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5482include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005483Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5484and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005485as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005486
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005487Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5488If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5489is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5490doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005492
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005493Configuring the Linux kernel:
5494-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005495
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005496No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5497device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005498
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005499
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005500Building a Linux Image:
5501-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005502
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005503With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5504not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5505"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5506U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5507which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5508100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005509
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005510Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005511
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005512 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005513 make oldconfig
5514 make dep
5515 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005516
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005517The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5518encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5519CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005520
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005521* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005522
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005523* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005524
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005525 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5526 -R .note -R .comment \
5527 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005528
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005529* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005530
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005531 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005532
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005533* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005534
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005535 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5536 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5537 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005538
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005539
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005540The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5541with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5542combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5543byte header containing information about target architecture,
5544operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5545stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005546
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005547"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5548print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005549
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005550In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5551contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5552checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005553
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005554 tools/mkimage -l image
5555 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005556
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005557The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5558from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005559
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005560 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5561 -n name -d data_file image
5562 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5563 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5564 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5565 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5566 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5567 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5568 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5569 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005570
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005571Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5572address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5573kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005574
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005575- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5576- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005577
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005578So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:

5602speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5603needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5604need to be uncompressed:

Guilherme Maciel Ferreira51553812013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005632The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5633option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5634option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5635from the image:
5636
5637 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5638 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005642Installing a Linux Image:
5643-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005644
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005645To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5646you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005647
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005648 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005649
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005650The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5651image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5652address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5653specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5654command.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005822More About U-Boot Image Types:
5823------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005824
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005825U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005826
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005827 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5828 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5829 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5830 the Standalone Program.
5831 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5832 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5833 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5834 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5835 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5836 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5837 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5838 being started.
5839 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5840 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5841 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5842 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5843 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5844 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005845
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005846 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5847 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5848 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5849 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5850 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5851 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005852
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005853 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5854 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5855 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005856
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005857 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5858 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5859 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5860 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005861
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005862Booting the Linux zImage:
5863-------------------------
5864
5865On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5866using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5867as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5868
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005869Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005870kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5871address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5872format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5876=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005877
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005878One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5879run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5880U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005881

5917handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5918Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5919The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5920character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5921controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005922
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005923 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5924 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5925 e - stop timer and disable interrupts

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005987Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5988(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005989
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005990Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5991NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5992need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5993Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5994attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5995missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005996
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005997 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5998 # mkdir powerpc
5999 # ln -s powerpc machine
6000 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6001 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006002
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006003Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6004and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006005
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006006Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6007stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6008proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6009tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6014=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006015
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006016The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6017implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6018inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6019hardware.

6023---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006024
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006025The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6026starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6027system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6028This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6029is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6030at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6031options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6032models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6033MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6034locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006035
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006036 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006044 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6045 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6046 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6047 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6048 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006049 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006050 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6051 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006053 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6054 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006055 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006056 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6057 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6058 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6059 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006060
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006061 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006062 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6063 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006064 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006065 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6066 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6067 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6068 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6069 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006074It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6075code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006076
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006077* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6078 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006079
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006080* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006081 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6082 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006083
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006084* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6085 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006086
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006087Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6088normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6089turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6090simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6091functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6092functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6093the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6094place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6095reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006096
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006097When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6098relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6099GCC's implementation.

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006110 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6111 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6112 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006116 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6117 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6118 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6119 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6120 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6121 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006172U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6173MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006174
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006175The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6176controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6177memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6178physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006179
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006180U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6181TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6182booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6183to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006184memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006185configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6186Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006187
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006188Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6189of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006190
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006191So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6192this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006193
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006194 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006214System Initialization:
6215----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006216
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006217In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006218(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006219configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6220To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6221To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6222initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6223which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6224part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6225the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006226
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006227Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6228preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6229(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6230on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6231programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6232simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6233banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006234
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006235When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6236different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6237bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
62380x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6239contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006240
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006241Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6242and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6243Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6244pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006245
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006246Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6247until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6248running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6249new address in RAM.

6327-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006328
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006329All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006330coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006331"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006332
6333Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6334MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6335reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6336sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006337
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006338Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6339Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6340in your code.
wdenkad276f22004-01-04 16:28:35 +00006341
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006342Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6343- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006344- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006345- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006346- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006347- do not add trailing empty lines to source files

6386 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006387 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006388 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6389 with some other mail clients.
wdenkca9bc762003-07-15 07:45:49 +00006390
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006391 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6392 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6393 GNU diff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006394
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006395 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6396 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6397 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6398 affected files).
6399
6400 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6401 and compressed attachments must not be used.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006411
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006412* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6413 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6414 for any of the boards.
6415
6416* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6417 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6418 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006419
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006420* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6421 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6422 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6423 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6424 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6425 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006426
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006427* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6428 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6429 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6430 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
