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.

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

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

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

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

Kumar Gala1e26aa52006-01-11 13:54:17 -0600720 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
721
722 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
723 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000724
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600725 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
726
727 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
728 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
729 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
730 the kernel.
731
Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500732 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
733
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200734 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500735 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
736
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200737 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
738
739 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
740 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
741 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
742 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
743 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
744 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
745
Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000746 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
747
748 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
749 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
750 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
751 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
752 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
753 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
754 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
755
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100756- vxWorks boot parameters:
757
758 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
Bin Mengfb694b92015-10-07 20:19:17 -0700759 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
760 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100761 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
762
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100763 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
764 the defaults discussed just above.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000802- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000803 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
804 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
805 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
806 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000807
808 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
809 port routines must be defined elsewhere
810 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
811
812 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

846 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
847
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000848 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000852 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
853 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
854 the "silent" environment variable. See
855 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenk3da587e2003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000856
Heiko Schocher62759562013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200857 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100868- Console Rx buffer length
869 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
870 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100871 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100872 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
873 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
874 the SMC.
875
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000876- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200877 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
878 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
879 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
880 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
881 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
882 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
883 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200884 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200885 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000886
Hans de Goedee355da02015-05-05 13:13:36 +0200887 Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
888 stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
889
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200890 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
891 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000892
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000893- Autoboot Command:
894 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
895 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
896 define a command string that is automatically executed
897 when no character is read on the console interface
898 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
899
900 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000901 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
902 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
903 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000904
905 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000906 The value of these goes into the environment as
907 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
908 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200909 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000910
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100911- Bootcount:
912 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
913 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
914 cycle, see:
915 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
916
917 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
918 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
919 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
920 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
921 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
922 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
923 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
924 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
925 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
926
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000927- Pre-Boot Commands:
928 CONFIG_PREBOOT
929
930 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
931 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
932 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
933 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
934 entering interactive mode.
935
936 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
937 automatically generated or modified. For an example
938 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
939 modified when the user holds down a certain
940 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
941 booting the systems
942
943- Serial Download Echo Mode:
944 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
945 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
946 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
947 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
948 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
949 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
950 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

957- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500958 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
959 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000960 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted

1074 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1075 support you can write:
1076
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001077 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1078 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001079
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -04001080 Other Commands:
1081 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001082
1083 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001084 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001085 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1086 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1087 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1088 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1089 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1090 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001091
1092
1093 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1094
Simon Glassaa34ef22016-03-13 19:07:28 -06001095- Removal of commands
1096 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
1097 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
1098 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
1099 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
1100 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
1101 simple boot procedures.
1102
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001103- Regular expression support:
1104 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001105 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1106 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1107 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1108 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001109
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001110- Device tree:
1111 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1112 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1113 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1114 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1115 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1116 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1117
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001118 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1119 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001120
1121 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1122 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1123 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1124 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1125 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1126 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001127
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001128 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1129 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1130 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1131 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1132
1133 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1134
1135 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1136 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1137 still use the individual files if you need something more
1138 exotic.
1139
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001140- Watchdog:
1141 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1142 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001143 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1144 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1145 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1146 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1147 available, then no further board specific code should
1148 be needed to use it.
1149
1150 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1151 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1152 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1153 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001154
Heiko Schocher735326c2015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001155 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1156 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1157
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001158- U-Boot Version:
1159 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1160 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1161 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1162 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001163 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1164 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001165
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001166- Real-Time Clock:
1167
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001168 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001169 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1170 following options:
1171
1172 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1173 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001174 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

wdenk1fe2c702003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001176 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001177 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001178 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel90491f22014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001179 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenkef5fe752003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001180 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krillb27939b2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001181 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenkaeba06f2004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001182 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001183 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001184 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1185 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001186
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001187 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1188 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1189
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001190- GPIO Support:
1191 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001192
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001193 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1194 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1195 pins supported by a particular chip.
1196
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001197 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1198 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1199
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001200- I/O tracing:
1201 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1202 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1203 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1204 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1205 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1206 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1207 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1208 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1209
1210 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1211 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1212 still continue to operate.
1213
1214 iotrace is enabled
1215 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1216 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1217 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1218 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1219 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1220 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1221
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001222- Timestamp Support:
1223
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001224 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1225 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1226 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001227 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001228
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001229- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1230 Zero or more of the following:
1231 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1232 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1233 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1234 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1235 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1236 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1237 disk/part_efi.c
1238 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001239
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001240 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
Simon Glass8706b812016-05-01 11:36:02 -06001241 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001242 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001243
1244- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001245 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1246 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001247
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001248 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1249 be performed by calling the function
1250 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1251 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001252
1253- ATAPI Support:
1254 CONFIG_ATAPI
1255
1256 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1257
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001258- LBA48 Support
1259 CONFIG_LBA48
1260

1555 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1556 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1557 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1558 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1559 viewport is supported.
1560 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1561 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001562 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1563 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1564 the appropriate value in Hz.

1610 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1611 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1612 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1613 one that would help mostly the developer.
1614
Heiko Schochera2f831e2013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001615 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1616 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1617 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1618 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1619 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1620
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001621 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1622 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1623 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1624 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1625 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1626 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1627
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001628 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1629 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1630 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1631 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1632
1633 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1634 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1635 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1636 sending again an USB request to the device.

Sebastian Siewior9d4471e2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001654 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1655 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1656 downloaded images.
1657
Paul Kocialkowskif84f0912015-07-20 12:38:22 +02001658 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
Sebastian Siewior9d4471e2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001659 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1660 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1661 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1662
Steve Raebfb9ba42014-08-26 11:47:28 -07001663 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1664 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1665 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1666 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1667
1668 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1669 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1670 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1671 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1672
Steve Rae7d059342014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001673 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1674 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1675 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1676 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1677 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1678 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1679 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1680 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.
1681

1845
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001846 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001847 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1848 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1849 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1850 a per-section basis.
1851
Simon Glassaf3e2802012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001852 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1853
1854 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1855 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1856 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1857 is slow.
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001858
Hannes Petermaiera3c8e862015-03-27 08:01:38 +01001859 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1860
1861 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1862 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1863 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1864 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1865 printed out.
1866 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1867 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1868 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1869 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1870 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1871 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1872 1 = 90 degree rotation
1873 2 = 180 degree rotation
1874 3 = 270 degree rotation
1875
1876 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1877 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1878

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001890 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1891 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1892 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001893 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001894 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1895 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1896 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1897 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001898
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001899 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1900
1901 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1902 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Fabio Estevama58b4912016-03-23 12:46:12 -03001903 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001904 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1905 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1906 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1907 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1908 there is no need to set this option.
1909

1913 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1914 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1915 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1916 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1917 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1918
1919 Example:
1920 setenv splashpos m,m
1921 => image at center of screen
1922
1923 setenv splashpos 30,20
1924 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1925
1926 setenv splashpos -10,m
1927 => vertically centered image
1928 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001930- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1931
1932 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1933 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1934 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1935
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001936- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1937
1938 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1939 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1940 bmp command.
1941
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001942- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001943 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1944
1945 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1946 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1947
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001948- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001949 CONFIG_GZIP
1950
1951 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1952
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001953 CONFIG_BZIP2
1954
1955 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1956 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1957 compressed images are supported.
1958
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001959 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001960 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001961 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001962
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001963 CONFIG_LZMA
1964
1965 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1966 images is included.
1967
1968 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1969 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1970 formula:
1971
1972 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1973
1974 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1975 and Literal pos bits.
1976
1977 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1978 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1979 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1980 a very small buffer.
1981
1982 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1983 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001984 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001985
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001986 CONFIG_LZO
1987
1988 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1989 is included.
1990
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001991- MII/PHY support:
1992 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR

1994 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1995
1996 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1997
1998 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1999
2000 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2001
2002 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002003 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002004
2005 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2006
2007 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2008 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2009 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2010 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2011
2012 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2013
2014 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2015 command issued before MII status register can be read
2016
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002017- IP address:

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04002032 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2033
2034 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2035 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2036
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002037- Gateway IP address:
2038 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2039
2040 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2041 default router where packets to other networks are
2042 sent to.
2043 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2044
2045- Subnet mask:
2046 CONFIG_NETMASK
2047
2048 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2049 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2050 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2051 forwarded through a router.
2052 (Environment variable "netmask")
2053
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002054- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2055 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2056
2057 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2058 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002059 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002060 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2061 multicast group.
2062
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002063- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2064 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2065
2066 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2067 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2068 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2069 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2070 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2071 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2072 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2073 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002074 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002075
2076 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2077 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2078 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2079 4th and following
2080 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2081
Thierry Reding8977cda2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002082 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2083
2084 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2085 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2086 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2087 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2088 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2089 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2090 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2091 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2092 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2093 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2094 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2095 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2096 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2097 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2098 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2099

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002117
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002118 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2119 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002120
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002121 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2122 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2123 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2124 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2125 is not available.
2126
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002127 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2128 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2129 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2130 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2131 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2132 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2133 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002134 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002135
2136 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2137 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2138 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002139 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002140 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2141 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002142
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002143 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2144
2145 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2146 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2147 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2148 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2149 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2150 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2151 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2152 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2153 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2154 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2155 this delay.
2156
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002157 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2158 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2159 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2160 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2161 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2162
2163 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002207- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2208
2209 Several configurations allow to display the current
2210 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2211 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2212 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2213 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2214 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2215 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2216 feature in U-Boot.
2217
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002218 Additional options:
2219
2220 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2221 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2222 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2223 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2224 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2225
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002226 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2227 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2228 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2229 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2230 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2231 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2232
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002233- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

2236 on those systems that support this (optional)
2237 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002431
2432 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2433 provides the following compelling advantages:
2434
2435 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2436 - approved multibus support
2437 - better i2c mux support
2438
2439 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002440
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002441 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2442 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2443 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002444
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002445 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002446 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002447 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2448 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002449 command line interface.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002451 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002452
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002453 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002454 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002455
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002456 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002457 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002458 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002459 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002460
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002461 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002462 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002463 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2464 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2465 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002466
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002467 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2468
2469 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2470 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2471 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2472 commands until the slave device responds.
2473
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002474 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002475
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002476 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002477 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2478 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002479
2480 I2C_INIT
2481
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002482 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C

2488
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002489 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2490 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2491 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002492
2493 I2C_ACTIVE
2494
2495 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2496 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2497 define can be null.
2498
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002499 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)

2510
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002511 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2512 false if it is low.

2526
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002527 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002534 I2C_DELAY
2535
2536 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2537 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002538 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002539 like:
2540

2546 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2547 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2548 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2549
2550 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2551 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002554
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002555 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2556 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2557 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2558 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2559 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2560 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2561 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2562 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002563
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002564 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2565
2566 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2567 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2568 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2569 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2570 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2571 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2572 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2573 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2574
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002575 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2576
2577 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2578 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2579 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2580
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002581 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2582
2583 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002584 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2585 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002586 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002589
2590 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002591 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002592 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2593 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002594

Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002597 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002598
2599 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus

Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002627 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2628
2629 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2630 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2631 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2632 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2633 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2634 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2635 the other.

2652 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2653 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2654 defined, the board configuration must define several
2655 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For

2751
2752 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2753 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2754 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2755 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2756 make / MAKEALL.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002758 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002762
2763- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2764
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002765 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2766 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002767 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002768 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2769 protects these variables from casual modification by
2770 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2771 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002772 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002773
2774 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2775 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002776 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002777 these parameters.
2778
Joe Hershberger76f353e2015-05-04 14:55:14 -05002779 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2780 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002781 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002782 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2783 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2784 read-only.]
2785
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002786 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2787 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2788 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2789 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2790
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002791- Protected RAM:
2792 CONFIG_PRAM
2793
2794 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2795 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2796 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2797 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2798 this default value by defining an environment
2799 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2800 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2801 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2802 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2803 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2804 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2805 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2806
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002807 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002808 saveenv
2809
2810 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2811 either, which results in a memory region that will
2812 not be affected by reboots.
2813
2814 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2815 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2816 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2817 following board configurations are known to be
2818 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002824- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2825 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2826 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2827 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2828 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2829 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2830 currently only supports clearing the memory.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002832- Error Recovery:
2833 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2834
2835 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2836 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2837 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002838 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002839 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2840 useful during development since you can try to debug
2841 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2842
2843 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2844
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002845 This variable defines the number of retries for
2846 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2847 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2848 default value of 5 is used.

Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002854 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2855
2856 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2857 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2858 try longer timeout such as
2859 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002866 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002867
2868 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2869 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2870 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2871
2872 Note:
2873
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002874 In the current implementation, the local variables
2875 space and global environment variables space are
2876 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2877 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2878 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2879 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2880 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002881
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002882 Global environment variables are those you use
2883 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2884 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2885 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002886
2887 To store commands and special characters in a
2888 variable, please use double quotation marks
2889 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2890 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2891 symbols.

Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002893- Command Line Editing and History:
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002894 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2895
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002896 Enable editing and History functions for interactive

Marek Vasut734fb042016-01-27 04:47:55 +01002899- Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2900 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2901
2902 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2903 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2904 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2905 and PS2.
2906
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002907- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002908 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2909
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002910 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2911 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002912 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002913
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002914 For example, place something like this in your
2915 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002916
2917 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2918 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2919 "myvar2=value2\0"
2920
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002921 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2922 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2923 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2924 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002925 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002926 You better know what you are doing here.
2927
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002928 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2929 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002930 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002931 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002932
Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002933 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2934
2935 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2936 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2937 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2938
2939 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2940
2941 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2942 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2943 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2944 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2945 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2946
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002947 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2948
2949 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2950 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2951 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2952
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002953 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2954
2955 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002956 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002957 that so that the environment is not available until
2958 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2959 this is instead controlled by the value of
2960 /config/load-environment.
2961
Chris Packham2216ddb2015-06-19 20:25:59 +12002962- Parallel Flash support:
2963 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
2964
Bin Meng75574052016-02-05 19:30:11 -08002965 Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
Chris Packham2216ddb2015-06-19 20:25:59 +12002966 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2967 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2968 parallel flash.
2969
2970 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2971 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2972 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2973 flash API (see include/flash.h).
2974
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002975- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002976 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2977
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002978 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2979 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2980 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002981
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002982- Serial Flash support
2983 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2984
2985 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2986 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2987
2988 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2989 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2990 commands.
2991
2992 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2993 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2994 flash is present on the system.
2995
2996 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2997 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2998 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2999 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3000
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00003001 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3002
3003 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3004 test ('sf test').
3005
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303006 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3007
3008 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3009 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003010 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303011
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003012- SystemACE Support:
3013 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3014
3015 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3016 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003017 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003018 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003019
3020 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003021 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003022
3023 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3024 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3025
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003026- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3027 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3028
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003029 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003030 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003031 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003032 number generator is used.
3033
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003034 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3035 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3036 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3037
3038 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003039 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3040 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3041 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3042 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3043 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3044 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3045
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003046- Hashing support:
3047 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3048
3049 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3050 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3051
3052 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3053
3054 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3055 size a little.
3056
gaurav ranaef201592015-02-20 12:51:46 +05303057 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3058 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3059 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3060 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3061 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3062 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3063 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3064 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3065 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3066 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3067 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3068 is performed in hardware.
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003069
3070 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3071 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3072
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003073- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3074 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3075 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3076 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3077
3078 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3079 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3080 a boot from specific media.
3081
3082 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3083 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3084 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3085 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3086 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3087
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003088- bootcount support:
3089 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3090
3091 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3092 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3093
3094 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3095 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3096 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3097 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3098 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3099 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3100 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3101 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3102 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3103 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3104 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3105 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3106 the bootcounter.
3107 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003109- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003110 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3111
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003112 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3113 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3114 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3115 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3116 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3117 the following checkpoints are implemented:

3297
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003298 This option defines a board specific value for the
3299 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3300 overwriting the architecture dependent default

3309 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3310 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3311 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3312 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3313 configured panel size.

Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003349
3350 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3351 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3352 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3353 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3354 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3355 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3356
3357 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3358 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3359 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3360 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3361 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3362
3363 default: 4096
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003364
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003365 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3366 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3367 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3368 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3369 flash), this value is ignored.
3370
3371 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3372 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3373 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3374 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3375 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3376 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3377
3378 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3379 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3380 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3381 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3382 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3383 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3384 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3385 partition.
3386
3387 default: 20
3388
3389 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3390 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3391 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3392 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3393 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3394 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3395 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3396 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3397 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3398 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3399 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3400 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3401
3402 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3403 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3404 without a fastmap.
3405 default: 0
3406
Heiko Schocher94b66de2015-10-22 06:19:21 +02003407 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3408 Enable UBI fastmap debug

3414 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3415 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3416

3465 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3466 loaded does not have a signature.
3467 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3468 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3469 will be caught.

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003685- Interrupt support (PPC):
3686
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003687 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3688 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003689 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003690 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003691 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003692 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003693 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003694 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3695 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3696 general timer_interrupt().

3703to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3704before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3705following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3706architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c

Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003786 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003787
3788 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3789 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3790 be touched.

3792 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3793 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3794 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3795 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3796 problems.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003823- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003824 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3825
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003826- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3827 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3828 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3829 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3830 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3831 space.
3832
3833 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3834 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3835 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003836 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003837 U-Boot relocates itself.
3838
Simon Glass9fa901b2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07003839- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3840 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3841 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3842 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3843
Thierry Redingc97d9742014-12-09 22:25:22 -07003844- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3845 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3846 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3847 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3848 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3849 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3850 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3851 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3852 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3853 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3854 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3855 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3856 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3857 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3858 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3859 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3860
3861 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3862
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003863- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003864 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3865 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003866 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003867 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3868
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003869- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003870 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3871 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by

3873 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003874 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003875 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003876 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003877 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3878 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3879 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

3883 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3884 is enabled.
3885
3886- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3887 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3888 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3889
3890- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:

3914 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3915
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003916- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003917
3918 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3919 without this option such a download has to be
3920 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3921 copy from RAM to flash.
3922
3923 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3924 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003925 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3926 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003927 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3928
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003929- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

Piotr Ziecik3e939e92008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003937- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3938 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3939 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3940 to the MTD layer.
3941
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003942- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

3951 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3952 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3953 optionally available.
3954
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003955- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3956 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3957 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3958 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3959
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003960- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3961 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3962 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3963 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3964 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3965 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3966 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3967 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3968
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003969- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003970 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3971 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003972 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3973 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003974 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003975 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003987 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003988 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3989 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3990 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.

Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06004016
4017 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4018 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4019 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4020 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4021 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4022 ".flags" variable.
4023
Joe Hershberger6db9fd42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05004024 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a

Gabe Black3687fe42014-10-15 04:38:30 -06004037- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4038 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4039 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4040 building U-Boot to enable this.
4041
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004042The following definitions that deal with the placement and management

4044following configurations:
4045
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004046- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4047
4048 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4049 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4050
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004051- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004052
4053 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4054
4055 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4056 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4057 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4058 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4059 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4060 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4061 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4062 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4063 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4064 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4065 between U-Boot and the environment.
4066
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004067 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:

4069 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4070 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4071 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4072 for this sector is given here.
4073
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004074 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.

4078 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4079 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004080 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).

4084 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4085
4086
4087 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4088 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4089 the environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004093 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004094 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004095 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4096 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4097
4098 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4099 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4100 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4101 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4102 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4103 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4104 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4105 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4106 RAM, your target system will be dead.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004131 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4132 can just be read and written to, without any special
4133 provision.
4134
4135BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004136in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004138U-Boot will hang.
4139
4140Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4141environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4142keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4143to save the current settings.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004177 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004178 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4179 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4180 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4181 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4182 byte chips.
4183
4184 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4185 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4186 in the chip address.

4292
4293 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4294
4295 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4296 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4297 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4298 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4299 the range to be avoided.
4300
4301 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):

4346
4347 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4348
4349 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4350
4351 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4352 be as following:
4353
4354 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4355 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4356 partition table.
4357 - "D:0": device D.
4358 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4359 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4360 table.
4361 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004362 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004363 partition table then means device D.
4364
4365 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4366
4367 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004368 environment.

4375 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4376 environment.
4377
4378 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4379
4380 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4381
4382 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4383
4384 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4385 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4386 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4387
4388 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4389 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4390
4391 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4392 area within the specified MMC device.
4393
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004394 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4395 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4396 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4397 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4398 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4399 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4400 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4401
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004402 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4403 MMC sector boundary.
4404
4405 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4406
4407 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4408 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4409 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4410 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4411
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004412 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4413 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4414
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004415 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4416 an MMC sector boundary.

4418 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4419
4420 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4421 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4422 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4423
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004424- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004425
4426 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4427 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4428 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4429 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4430 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4431 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4432 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4433
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004434Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004435has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004436created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004437until then to read environment variables.
4438
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004439The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4440is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4441with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4442necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4443"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4444have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004445
4446Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4447the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004448use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004494- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4495 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4496 PowerPC SOCs.
4497
4498- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4499 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4500 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4501
4502 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4503 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4504
4505- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4506 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4507 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004508 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004509 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4510 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4511 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4512
4513 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4514 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4515
4516- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004517 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4518 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004519 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4520 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4521
4522- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4523 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4524 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4525 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4526
4527- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4528 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4529 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4750 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4751
4752- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4753 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004754 to the given FEC; i. e.
4755 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004756 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4757
4758 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4759
4760- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4761 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4762 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4763
4764- CONFIG_RMII
4765 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4766 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4767 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.

stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004783- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4784 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4785 "md/mw" commands.
4786 Examples:
4787
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004788 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004789 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4790
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004791 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004792 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4793
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004794 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004795 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004797- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004798 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004799 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4800 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4801 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004802
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004803 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4804 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4805 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4806 these initializations itself.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004807
Simon Glass90844072016-05-05 07:28:06 -06004808- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4809 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4810 to be skipped. The normal CPU15 init (such as enabling the
4811 instruction cache) is still performed.

4824 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4825 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4826 previous 4k of the .text section.
4827
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004828- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4829 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4830 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4831 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4832 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4833 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4834 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4835 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4836
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004837- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4838 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4839 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4840 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4841 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4842
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004843- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4844 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4845 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

4862
4863The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4864loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4865This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4866are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4867within that device.

4877 is also specified.
4878
4879- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4880 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4881 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4882 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4883 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4884
4885- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4886 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4887 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4888 virtual address in NOR flash.
4889
4890- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4891 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.

4910---------------------------------------------------------
4911The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4912"firmware".
4913This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4914are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address

4918 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4919
4920- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4921 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4922 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4923 is also specified.
4924
4925- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4926 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4927 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4928 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4929 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4930
4931- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4932 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as

Paul Kocialkowski7b917022015-07-26 18:48:15 +02004951Reproducible builds
4952-------------------
4953
4954In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4955process have to be set to a fixed value.
4956
4957This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4958SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4959option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4960
4961SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004963Building the Software:
4964======================
4965
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004966Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4967and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4968all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4969(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4970recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4971which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004972
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004973If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4974have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4975you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4976Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4977necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004978
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004979 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4980 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004981
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004982Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4983 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4984 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4985 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4986
4987 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4988
4989 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004992U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4993sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004994is done by typing:
4995
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004996 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004997
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004998where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004999rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00005000
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005001Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5002 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5003 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5004 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005005 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005006
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005007 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005008 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005009
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005010 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005011 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005012
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005013 etc.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005015
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005016Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5017images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005018
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005019- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5020- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5021- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005022
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005023By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5024in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5025this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5026
50271. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5028
5029 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005030 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005031 make O=/tmp/build all
5032
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +020050332. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005034
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005035 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005036 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005037 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005038 make all
5039
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005040Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005041variable.
5042
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005043
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005044Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5045for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5046native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005047

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005049If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5050to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5051steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005052
Phil Sutterc77b4882015-12-25 14:41:18 +010050531. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005054 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
Phil Sutterc77b4882015-12-25 14:41:18 +01005055 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
50562. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5057 your board.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050583. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5059 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020050604. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050615. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5062 to be installed on your target system.
50636. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5064 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005067Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5068==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005069
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005070If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5071or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005072provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5073the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005074official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005075
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005076But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5077cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005078the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5079just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005080for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5081select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5082environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5083you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005084
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005085 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005086
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005087or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005088
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005089 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005090
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005091When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5092U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5093setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5094built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5095<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5096location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5097variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005098
5099 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5100 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5101 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5102
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005103With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5104log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5105during the whole build process.

5167
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005168Environment Variables:
5169======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005170
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005171U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5172can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005173
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005174Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5175"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5176without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5177environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5178working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5179environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005180
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005181Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5182
5183List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005184
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005185 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005186
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005187 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005188
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005189 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005190
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005191 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005192
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005193 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005194
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005195 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5196 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5197 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5198 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5199 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5200 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005201 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5202 bootm_mapsize.
5203
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005204 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005205 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5206 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5207 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5208 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5209 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5210 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005211
5212 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5213 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5214 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5215 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5216 environment variable.
5217
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005218 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5219 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5220 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5221
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005222 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5223 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5224 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5225 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005226
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005227 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5228 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5229 be automatically started (by internally calling
5230 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005231
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005232 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5233 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5234 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5235 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5236 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005237
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005238 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5239 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005240 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5241 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5242 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5243 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5244 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5245 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5246 access it during the boot procedure.
5247
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005248 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5249 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5250 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5251 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5252 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5253 must be accessible by the kernel.
5254
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005255 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5256 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5257 defined.
5258
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005259 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5260 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5261 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5262 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5263 it must be saved and board must be reset.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005265 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5266 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5267 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5268 is usually what you want since it allows for
5269 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5270 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005271 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005272 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5273 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5274 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5275 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005277 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5278 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5279 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5280 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5281 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5282 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005283
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005284 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005285
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005286 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5287 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5288 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5289 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5290 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5291 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5292 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

5322
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005323 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005324 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5325 When set to "once" the network operation will

5347
5348 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5349 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5350 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5351 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5352 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5353 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5354 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5355
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)83006852015-10-12 00:02:57 +02005356 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5357 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5358 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5359 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5360 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5361 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5362 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.

5369 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
5370 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
5371 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
5372 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005374The following image location variables contain the location of images
5375used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5376not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5377variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5378server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5379loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5380flash or offset in NAND flash.
5381
5382*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
Fabio Estevambb7d4972015-04-25 18:53:10 -03005383boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005393The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5394updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5395depending the information provided by your boot server:

5400 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5401 hostname - Target hostname
5402 ipaddr - see above

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005408There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005409
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005410 serial# - contains hardware identification information such

5412 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005413
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005414These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5415the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5416once they have been set once.

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005430Callback functions for environment variables:
5431---------------------------------------------
5432
5433For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005434when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005435be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5436deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5437effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5438
5439The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5440U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5441
5442These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5443static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5444in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5445associations. The list must be in the following format:
5446
5447 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5448 list = entry[,list]
5449
5450If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5451Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5452
5453Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5454with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5455override any association in the static list. You can define
5456CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005457".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005458
Joe Hershberger6db9fd42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05005459If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5460regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5461the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005467There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5468the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005469
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005470Old, simple command line parser:
5471--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005472
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005473- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5474- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005475- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005476- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5477 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005478 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005479- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5480 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'

wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005484
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005485- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5486 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5487 until...do...done, ...
5488- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5489 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5490 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5491 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005492
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005493General rules:
5494--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005495
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005496(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5497 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5498 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5499 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005500
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005501(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005502 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005503 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5504 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005505
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005506Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5507=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005508
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005509Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005510such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5511"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005512
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005513Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5514MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5515"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005516
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005517If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5518in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5519ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5520variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005521
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005522o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5523 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005524
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005525o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5526 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5527 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005528
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005529o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5530 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005531
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005532o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5533 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5534 warning is printed.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005546Image Formats:
5547==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005548
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005549U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5550images in two formats:
5551
5552New uImage format (FIT)
5553-----------------------
5554
5555Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5556to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5557components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5558SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5559
5560
5561Old uImage format
5562-----------------
5563
5564Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5565preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5566details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005586
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005587Linux Support:
5588==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005589
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005590Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5591easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5592U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005593
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005594U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5595special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5596"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5597instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5598serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005599
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005600- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5601 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5602 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005603
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005604- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5605 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005606
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005607- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5608 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5609 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5610 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5611 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5612 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005613
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005614
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005615Linux HOWTO:
5616============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005617
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005618Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5619---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005620
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005621U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5622configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5623(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5624Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005625
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005626But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005627
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005628Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5629include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005630Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5631and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005632as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005633
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005634Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5635If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5636is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5637doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005639
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005640Configuring the Linux kernel:
5641-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005642
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005643No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5644device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005645
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005646
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005647Building a Linux Image:
5648-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005649
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005650With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5651not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5652"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5653U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5654which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5655100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005656
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005657Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005658
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005659 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005660 make oldconfig
5661 make dep
5662 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005663
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005664The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5665encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5666CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005667
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005668* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005669
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005670* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005671
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005672 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5673 -R .note -R .comment \
5674 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005675
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005676* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005677
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005678 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005679
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005680* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005681
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005682 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5683 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5684 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005685
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005686
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005687The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5688with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5689combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5690byte header containing information about target architecture,
5691operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5692stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005693
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005694"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5695print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005696
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005697In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5698contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5699checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005700
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005701 tools/mkimage -l image
5702 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005703
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005704The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5705from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005706
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005707 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5708 -n name -d data_file image
5709 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5710 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5711 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5712 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5713 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5714 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5715 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5716 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005717
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005718Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5719address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5720kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005721
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005722- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5723- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005724
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005725So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005726

5780option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5781option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"

5791-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005792
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005793To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5794you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005795
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005796 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005797
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005798The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5799image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5800address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5801specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5802command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005803
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005804Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5805TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005841The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5842memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5843of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5844parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005970More About U-Boot Image Types:
5971------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005972
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005973U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005974
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005975 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5976 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5977 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5978 the Standalone Program.
5979 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5980 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5981 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5982 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5983 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5984 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5985 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5986 being started.
5987 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5988 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5989 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5990 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5991 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5992 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005993
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005994 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5995 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5996 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5997 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5998 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5999 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006000
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006001 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6002 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6003 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006004
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006005 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6006 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6007 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6008 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006009
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00006010Booting the Linux zImage:
6011-------------------------
6012
6013On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6014using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6015as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6016
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04006017Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00006018kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6019address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6020format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

6024=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006025
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006026One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6027run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6028U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006029

6036application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6037It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6038like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006064Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6065handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6066Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6067The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6068character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6069controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006070

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006135Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6136(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006137
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006138Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6139NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6140need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6141Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6142attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6143missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006144
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006145 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6146 # mkdir powerpc
6147 # ln -s powerpc machine
6148 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6149 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006150
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006151Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6152and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006153
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006154Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6155stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6156proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6157tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6162=========================

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006164The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6165implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6166inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6167hardware.

6171---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006172
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006173The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6174starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6175system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6176This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6177is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6178at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6179options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6180models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6181MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6182locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006183
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006184 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006192 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6193 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6194 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6195 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6196 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006197 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006198 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6199 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006201 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6202 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006203 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006204 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6205 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6206 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6207 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006208
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006209 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006210 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6211 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006212 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006213 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6214 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6215 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6216 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6217 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006222It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6223code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006224
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006225* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6226 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006227
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006228* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006229 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6230 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006231
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006232* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6233 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006234
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006235Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006236normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006237turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6238simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6239functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6240functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6241the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6242place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6243reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006244
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006245When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6246relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6247GCC's implementation.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006249For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6250 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006251 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006252 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6253 R5-R10: parameter passing
6254 R13: small data area pointer
6255 R30: GOT pointer

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006258 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6259 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6260 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006264 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6265 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6266 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6267 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6268 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6269 624 text + 127 data).

6318------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006319
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006320U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6321MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006322
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006323The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6324controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6325memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6326physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006327
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006328U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6329TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6330booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6331to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006332memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006333configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6334Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006335
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006336Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6337of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006338
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006339So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006362System Initialization:
6363----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006364
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006365In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006366(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006367configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006368To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6369To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6370initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6371which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6372part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6373the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006374
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006375Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6376preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6377(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6378on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6379programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6380simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6381banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006382
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006383When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6384different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6385bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63860x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6387contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006388
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006389Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6390and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6391Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6392pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006393
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006394Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6395until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6396running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6397new address in RAM.

6535 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006536 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006537 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6538 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006540 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6541 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6542 GNU diff.

6545 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6546 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6547 affected files).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006560
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006561* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6562 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6563 for any of the boards.
6564
6565* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6566 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6567 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006568
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006569* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6570 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6571 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6572 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6573 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6574 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006575
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006576* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6577 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6578 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6579 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
