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

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000223Software Configuration:
224=======================
225
226Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
227rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
228
229There are two classes of configuration variables:
230
231* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
232 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
233 "CONFIG_".
234
235* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
236 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
237 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200238 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000239
240Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
241identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
242do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
243links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
244as an example here.
245
246
247Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
248---------------------------------------------------
249
250For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
251configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
252
253Example: For a TQM823L module type:
254
255 cd u-boot
256 make TQM823L_config
257
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200258For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000259e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
260directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
261
262
263Configuration Options:
264----------------------
265
266Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
267such information is kept in a configuration file
268"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
269
270Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
271"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
272
273
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000274Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
275kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
276build a config tool - later.
277
278
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000279The following options need to be configured:
280

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000584 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
585
586 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
587 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
588 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
589 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
590 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
591 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
592 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000593 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100594 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200634 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
635
636 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
637 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
638 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
639 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
640 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
641 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
642

Pali Rohár4a57da32012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000764 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
765 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
766 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
767
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000768 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
769 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
770 environment 'console=serial'.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000771
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000772 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
773 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
774 the "silent" environment variable. See
775 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenk3da587e2003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000776
Heiko Schocher62759562013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200777 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
778 is 0x00.
779 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
780 is 0xa0.
781
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000782- Console Baudrate:
783 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
784 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200785 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
786 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000787
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100788- Console Rx buffer length
789 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
790 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100791 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100792 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
793 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
794 the SMC.
795
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000796- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200797 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
798 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
799 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
800 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
801 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
802 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
803 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200804 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200805 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000806
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200807 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
808 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000809
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000810- Safe printf() functions
811 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
812 the printf() functions. These are defined in
813 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
814 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
815 If this option is not given then these functions will
816 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
817 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
818
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000819- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
820 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
821 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000822 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
823 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000824
825 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
826 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
827 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
828 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
829 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
830 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
831 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
832 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
833 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
834 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
835 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
836 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
837
838- Autoboot Command:
839 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
840 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
841 define a command string that is automatically executed
842 when no character is read on the console interface
843 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
844
845 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000846 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
847 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
848 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000849
850 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000851 The value of these goes into the environment as
852 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
853 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200854 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000855
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100856- Bootcount:
857 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
858 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
859 cycle, see:
860 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
861
862 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
863 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
864 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
865 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
866 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
867 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
868 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
869 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
870 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
871
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000872- Pre-Boot Commands:
873 CONFIG_PREBOOT
874
875 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
876 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
877 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
878 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
879 entering interactive mode.
880
881 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
882 automatically generated or modified. For an example
883 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
884 modified when the user holds down a certain
885 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
886 booting the systems
887
888- Serial Download Echo Mode:
889 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
890 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
891 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
892 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
893 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
894 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
895 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
896
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500897- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000898 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
899 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200900 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000901
902- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500903 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
904 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000905 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
906 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500907 and augmenting with additional #define's
908 for wanted commands.

1017 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1018 support you can write:
1019

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001025
1026 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001027 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001028 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1029 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1030 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1031 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1032 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1033 initial stack and some data.

1036 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1037
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001038- Regular expression support:
1039 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001040 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1041 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1042 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1043 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001044
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001045- Device tree:
1046 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1047 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1048 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1049 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1050 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1051 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1052
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001053 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1054 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001055
1056 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1057 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1058 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1059 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1060 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1061 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001062
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001063 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1064 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1065 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1066 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1067
1068 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1069
1070 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1071 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1072 still use the individual files if you need something more
1073 exotic.
1074
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001075- Watchdog:
1076 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1077 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001078 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1079 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1080 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1081 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1082 available, then no further board specific code should
1083 be needed to use it.
1084
1085 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1086 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1087 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1088 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001089
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001090- U-Boot Version:
1091 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1092 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1093 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1094 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001095 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1096 next reset.

1116 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001117
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001118 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1119 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1120
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001121- GPIO Support:
1122 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001123
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001124 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1125 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1126 pins supported by a particular chip.
1127
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001128 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1129 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1130
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001131- Timestamp Support:
1132
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001133 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1134 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1135 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001136 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001137
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001138- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001152
1153- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001154 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1155 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001156
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001157 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1158 be performed by calling the function
1159 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1160 which has to be defined in a board specific file

1388 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1389 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1390 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001391 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001392 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1393 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001394 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001395 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1396 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1397 a Linux host by
1398 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1399 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1400 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1401 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001402

Igor Grinbergac5f6ee2011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001464- ULPI Layer Support:
1465 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1466 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1467 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1468 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1469 viewport is supported.
1470 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1471 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001472 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1473 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1474 the appropriate value in Hz.

1517 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1518 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1519 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1520
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001521 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1522 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1523 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1524 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1525 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1526 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001619 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
Wolfgang Denk825223d2011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001620 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001621 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1622 support, and should also define these other macros:
1623
1624 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1625 CONFIG_VIDEO
1626 CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1627 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1628 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR

1632
Timur Tabi32f709e2011-04-11 14:18:22 -05001633 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1634 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1635 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
1636 description of this variable.
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001637
Simon Glass54df8ce2012-12-03 13:59:47 +00001638 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA
1639
1640 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
1641 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer
1642 driver.

wdenk4e112c12003-06-03 23:54:09 +00001645- Keyboard Support:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001646 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
wdenk4e112c12003-06-03 23:54:09 +00001647
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001648 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1649 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1650 defined in your board-specific files.
1651 The only board using this so far is RBC823.
wdenk9dd2b882002-12-03 21:28:10 +00001652
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001653- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001704
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001705 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1706
1707 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1708 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1709 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1710 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1711 a per-section basis.
1712
Simon Glassaf3e2802012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001713 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1714
1715 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1716 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1717 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1718 is slow.
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001719
Tom Wai-Hong Tam79926a42012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001720 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1721
1722 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1723
Tom Wai-Hong Tam6664f202012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001724 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1725
1726 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1727 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1728
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001729- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001730
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001731 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1732 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1733 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001734 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001735 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1736 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1737 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1738 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001739
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001740 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1741
1742 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1743 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini958a8f82014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001744 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001745 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1746 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1747 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1748 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1749 there is no need to set this option.
1750
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001751 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1752
1753 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1754 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1755 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1756 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1757 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1758 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1759
1760 Example:
1761 setenv splashpos m,m
1762 => image at center of screen
1763
1764 setenv splashpos 30,20
1765 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1766
1767 setenv splashpos -10,m
1768 => vertically centered image
1769 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1770
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001771- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1772
1773 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1774 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1775 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1776
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001777- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1778
1779 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1780 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1781 bmp command.
1782
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001783- Do compresssing for memory range:
1784 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1785
1786 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1787 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1788
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001789- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001790 CONFIG_GZIP
1791
1792 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1793
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001794 CONFIG_BZIP2
1795
1796 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1797 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1798 compressed images are supported.
1799
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001800 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001801 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001802 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001803
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001804 CONFIG_LZMA
1805
1806 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1807 images is included.
1808
1809 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1810 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1811 formula:
1812
1813 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1814
1815 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1816 and Literal pos bits.
1817
1818 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1819 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1820 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1821 a very small buffer.
1822
1823 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1824 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001825 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001826
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001827 CONFIG_LZO
1828
1829 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1830 is included.
1831
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001832- MII/PHY support:
1833 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1834
1835 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1836
1837 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1838
1839 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1840
1841 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1842
1843 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001844 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001845
1846 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1847
1848 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1849 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1850 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1851 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1852
1853 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1854
1855 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1856 command issued before MII status register can be read
1857

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001866 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1867 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001868 is not determined automatically.
1869
1870- IP address:
1871 CONFIG_IPADDR
1872
1873 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001874 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001875 determined through e.g. bootp.
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001876 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001877
1878- Server IP address:
1879 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1880
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001881 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001882 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001885 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1886
1887 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1888 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1889
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001890- Gateway IP address:
1891 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1892
1893 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1894 default router where packets to other networks are
1895 sent to.
1896 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1897
1898- Subnet mask:
1899 CONFIG_NETMASK
1900
1901 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1902 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1903 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1904 forwarded through a router.
1905 (Environment variable "netmask")
1906
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001907- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1908 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1909
1910 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1911 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001912 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001913 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1914 multicast group.
1915
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001916- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1917 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1918
1919 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1920 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1921 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1922 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1923 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1924 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1925 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1926 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001927 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001928
1929 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1930 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1931 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1932 4th and following
1933 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001952
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001953 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1954 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001955
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001956 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1957 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1958 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1959 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1960 is not available.
1961
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001962 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1963 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1964 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1965 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1966 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1967 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1968 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001969 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001970
1971 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1972 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1973 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001974 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001975 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as

Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001978 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1979
1980 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1981 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1982 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1983 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1984 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1985 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1986 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1987 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1988 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1989 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1990 this delay.

1993 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1994 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1995 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1996 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002042- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2043
2044 Several configurations allow to display the current
2045 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2046 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2047 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2048 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2049 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2050 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2051 feature in U-Boot.
2052
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002053 Additional options:
2054
2055 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2056 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2057 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2058 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2059 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2060
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002061 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2062 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2063 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2064 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2065 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2066 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2067
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002068- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2069
2070 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2071 on those systems that support this (optional)
2072 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2242 - better i2c mux support
2243
2244 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **

Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002246 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2247 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2248 for the selected CPU.

wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002258 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002259 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002260
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002261 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002262 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002263 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002264 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002265
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002266 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002267 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002268 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2269 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2270 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002271

2274 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2275 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2276 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2277 commands until the slave device responds.

2285 I2C_INIT

2349
2350 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2351 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2352 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2353 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.

2355 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2356 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002360 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2361 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2362 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2363 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2364 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2365 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2366 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2367 is run early in the boot sequence.

2370
2371 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2372 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2373 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2374 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2375 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2376 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2377 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2378 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002389 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2390 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.

2433
2434 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2435 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2436 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2437 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2438 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2439 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2440 the other.

Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002571 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2572 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2573 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2574 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2575
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002576- Protected RAM:
2577 CONFIG_PRAM
2578
2579 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2580 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2581 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2582 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2583 this default value by defining an environment
2584 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2585 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2586 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2587 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2588 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2589 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2590 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2591
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002592 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002593 saveenv
2594
2595 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2596 either, which results in a memory region that will
2597 not be affected by reboots.
2598
2599 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2600 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2601 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2602 following board configurations are known to be
2603 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002609- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2610 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2611 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2612 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2613 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2614 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2615 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2616
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002617- Error Recovery:
2618 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2619
2620 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2621 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2622 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002623 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002624 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2625 useful during development since you can try to debug
2626 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2627
2628 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2629
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002630 This variable defines the number of retries for
2631 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2632 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2633 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002634
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002635 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2636
2637 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2638
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002639 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2640
2641 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2642 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2643 try longer timeout such as
2644 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2645
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002646- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002647 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002648
2649 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2650
Wolfgang Denk018147d2006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002651 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2652 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002653
2654
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002655 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002656
2657 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2658 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2659 powerful command line syntax like
2660 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2661 constructs ("shell scripts").
2662
2663 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2664 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2665
2666
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002667 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002668
2669 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2670 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2671 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2672
2673 Note:
2674
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002675 In the current implementation, the local variables
2676 space and global environment variables space are
2677 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2678 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2679 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2680 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2681 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002682
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002683 Global environment variables are those you use
2684 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2685 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2686 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002687
2688 To store commands and special characters in a
2689 variable, please use double quotation marks
2690 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2691 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2692 symbols.
2693
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002694- Commandline Editing and History:
2695 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2696
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002697 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkc80857e2006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002698 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002699
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002700- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002701 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2702
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002703 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2704 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002705 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002706
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002707 For example, place something like this in your
2708 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002709
2710 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2711 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2712 "myvar2=value2\0"
2713
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002714 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2715 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2716 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2717 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002718 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002719 You better know what you are doing here.
2720
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002721 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2722 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002723 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002724 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002725
Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002726 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2727
2728 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2729 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2730 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2731
2732 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2733
2734 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2735 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2736 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2737 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2738 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2739
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002740 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2741
2742 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2743 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2744 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2745
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002746 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2747
2748 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2749 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2750 that so that the environment is not available until
2751 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2752 this is instead controlled by the value of
2753 /config/load-environment.
2754
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002755- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002756 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2757
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002758 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2759 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2760 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002761
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002762- Serial Flash support
2763 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2764
2765 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2766 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2767
2768 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2769 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2770 commands.
2771
2772 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2773 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2774 flash is present on the system.
2775
2776 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2777 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2778 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2779 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2780
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002781 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2782
2783 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2784 test ('sf test').
2785
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekic6d173d2013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302786 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2787
2788 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2789 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2790
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302791 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2792
2793 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2794 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2795 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2796
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002797- SystemACE Support:
2798 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2799
2800 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2801 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002802 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002803 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002804
2805 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002806 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002807
2808 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2809 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2810
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002811- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2812 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2813
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002814 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002815 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002816 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002817 number generator is used.
2818
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002819 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2820 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2821 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2822
2823 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002824 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2825 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2826 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2827 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2828 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2829 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2830
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002831- Hashing support:
2832 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2833
2834 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2835 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2836
2837 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2838
2839 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2840 size a little.
2841
2842 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2843 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2844
2845 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2846 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2847
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002848- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2849 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2850 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2851 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2852
2853 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2854 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2855 a boot from specific media.
2856
2857 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2858 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2859 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2860 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2861 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2862
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002863- Signing support:
2864 CONFIG_RSA
2865
2866 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel49dc73b2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01002867 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002868
2869 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2870 option.
2871
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01002872- bootcount support:
2873 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2874
2875 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2876 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2877
2878 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2879 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2880 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2881 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2882 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2883 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2884 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2885 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2886 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2887 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2888 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2889 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2890 the bootcounter.
2891 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002892
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002893- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002894 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2895
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002896 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2897 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2898 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2899 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2900 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2901 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002902
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002903- Detailed boot stage timing
2904 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2905 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2906 of the boot process.
2907
2908 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2909 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2910 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2911 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2912 the limit, recording will stop.
2913
2914 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2915 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2916
2917 Timer summary in microseconds:
2918 Mark Elapsed Stage
2919 0 0 reset
2920 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2921 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2922 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2923 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2924 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2925 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2926 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2927
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002928 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2929 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2930 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2931
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002932 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2933 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2934 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2935 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2936 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2937 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2938 For example:
2939
2940 bootstage {
2941 154 {
2942 name = "board_init_f";
2943 mark = <3575678>;
2944 };
2945 170 {
2946 name = "lcd";
2947 accum = <33482>;

3137 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3138 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3139 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3140 configured panel size.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003408Modem Support:
3409--------------
3410
Wolfgang Denk8f399b32011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003411[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003412
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003413- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003414 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3415
3416- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3417 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3418
3419- Modem debug support:
3420 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3421
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003422 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3423 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003424
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003425- Interrupt support (PPC):
3426
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003427 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3428 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003429 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003430 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003431 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003432 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003433 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003434 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3435 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3436 general timer_interrupt().
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003437
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003438- General:
3439
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003440 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3441 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3442 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003443 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003444 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3445 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3446 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003447
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003448 If there are no modem init strings in the
3449 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3450 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003451 suppressed, though.

3456------------------------------
3457
3458During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3459to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3460before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3461following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3462architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3463typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

3525 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003526 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003527 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003528 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3529 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3530 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003531 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003532 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003533 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003534
3535 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3536 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3537 be touched.

3628 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3629 without this option such a download has to be
3630 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3631 copy from RAM to flash.
3632
3633 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3634 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003635 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3636 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the

3673 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3674 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3675 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3676 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3677 this option if you really know what you are doing.

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003680 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3681 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003682 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3683 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003684 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003685 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003738- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3739 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3740 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3741 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3742 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3743 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3744 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3745 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3746 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3747
Lokesh Vutla100c2d82013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003748- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003753The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3754of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3755following configurations:
3756
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003757- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3758
3759 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3760 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3761
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003762- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003763
3764 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3765
3766 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3767 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3768 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3769 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3770 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3771 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3772 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3773 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3774 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3775 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3776 between U-Boot and the environment.
3777
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003778 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003779
3780 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3781 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3782 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3783 for this sector is given here.
3784
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003785 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003787 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003788
3789 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3790 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003791 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003792
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003793 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003794
3795 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3796
3797
3798 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3799 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3800 the environment.
3801
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003802 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003803
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003804 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003805 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003806 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3807 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3808
3809 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3810 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3811 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3812 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3813 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3814 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3815 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3816 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3817 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3818
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003819 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003823 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003824 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003825 a "saveenv" operation.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003832- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003833
3834 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3835 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3836 environment.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003840
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003841 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003842 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3843 can just be read and written to, without any special
3844 provision.
3845
3846BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3847in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003848console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003849U-Boot will hang.
3850
3851Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3852environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3853keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3854to save the current settings.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003858
3859 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3860 device and a driver for it.

3863 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003864
3865 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3866 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003873 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3874 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3875 would require six bits.
3876
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003877 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003878 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003879 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003882 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3883 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3884
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003885 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003886 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3887 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3888 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3889 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3890 byte chips.
3891
3892 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3893 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3894 in the chip address.
3895
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003896 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:

Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003899 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3900 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3901 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3902
3903 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3904 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3905 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3906 EEPROM. For example:
3907
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003908 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003909
3910 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3911 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003914
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003915 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003916 want to use for the environment.
3917

3920 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003921
3922 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3923 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3924 at the specified address.
3925
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003926- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3927
3928 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3929 want to use for the local device's environment.
3930
3931 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3932 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3933
3934 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3935 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3936 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003937 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003938
3939BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3940"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003941environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3942but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

3950 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003951
3952 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003953 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3954 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003955
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003956 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003957
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003958 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003959 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3960 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003961 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003962 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3963
3964 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3965
3966 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3967 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3968 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3969 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3970 the range to be avoided.
3971
3972 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003973
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003974 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3975 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3976 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3977 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3978 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003979
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003980- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3981
3982 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3983 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3984 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3985
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003986- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3987
3988 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3989 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3990 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3991
3992 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3993
3994 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3995
3996 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3997
3998 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3999 environment in.
4000
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004001 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4002
4003 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4004 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4005 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4006
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004007 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4008 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4009
4010 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4011 when storing the env in UBI.
4012
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004013- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4014
4015 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4016 environment.
4017
4018 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4019
4020 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4021
4022 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4023
4024 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4025 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4026 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4027
4028 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4029 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4030
4031 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4032 area within the specified MMC device.
4033
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004034 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4035 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4036 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4037 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4038 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4039 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4040 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4041
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004042 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4043 MMC sector boundary.
4044
4045 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4046
4047 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4048 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4049 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4050 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4051
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004052 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4053 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4054
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004055 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4056 an MMC sector boundary.
4057
4058 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4059
4060 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4061 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4062 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4063
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004064- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004065
4066 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4067 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4068 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4069 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4070 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4071 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4072 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4073
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004074Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004075has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004076created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004077until then to read environment variables.
4078
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004079The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4080is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4081with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4082necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4083"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4084have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004085
4086Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4087the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004088use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004093 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004094 also needs to be defined.
4095
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004096- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004099- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4100 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4101 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4102 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4103 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4104 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4105
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004106- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4107 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4108 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4109 to do this.
4110
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004111- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4112 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4113 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4114 present.

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004129- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4130 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4131 PowerPC SOCs.
4132
4133- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4134 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4135 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4136
4137 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4138 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4139
4140- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4141 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4142 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004143 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004144 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4145 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4146 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4147
4148 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4149 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4150
4151- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004152 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4153 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004154 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4155 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4156
4157- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4158 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4159 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4160 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4161
4162- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4163 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4164 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4404 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4405 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4406 area should have.
4407
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004408- CONFIG_LOOPW
4409 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004410 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004411
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004412- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4413 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4414 "md/mw" commands.
4415 Examples:
4416
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004417 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004418 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4419
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004420 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004421 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4422
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004423 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004424 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004425
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004426- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004427 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004428 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4429 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4430 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004431
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004432 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4433 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4434 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4435 these initializations itself.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004436
Aneesh V552a3192011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004437- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Lilja1ec96d82009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004438 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4439 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4440 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk336b2bc2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00004441
Ying Zhang2d2e3b62013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004442- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4443 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4444 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4445 It is loaded by the SPL.
4446
Ying Zhang0d4f5442013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004447- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4448 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4449 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4450 previous 4k of the .text section.
4451
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004452- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4453 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4454 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4455 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4456 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4457 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4458 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4459 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4460
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004461- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4462 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4463 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4464 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4465 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4466
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004467- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4468 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4469 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Black14f82462012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004470
Mark Jackson52b003c2013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004471- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4472 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4473
4474 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
Gabe Black76ce2492012-11-29 16:23:41 +00004475
Heiko Schocher2233e462013-11-04 14:05:00 +01004476- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4477 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4478
Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004479Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4480-----------------------------------
4481
4482The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4483loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4484This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4485are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4486within that device.
4487
4488- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4489 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4490 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4491 is also specified.
4492
4493- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4494 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4495 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4496 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4497 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4498
4499- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4500 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4501 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4502 virtual address in NOR flash.
4503
4504- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4505 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4506 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4507
4508- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4509 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4510 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4511
4512- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4513 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4514 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4515
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004516- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4517 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4518 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004519 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4520 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4521 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004523Building the Software:
4524======================
4525
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004526Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4527and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4528all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4529(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4530recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4531which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004532
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004533If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4534have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4535you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4536Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4537necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004538
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004539 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4540 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004541
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004542Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4543 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4544 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4545 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4546
4547 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4548
4549 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4550 be executed on computers running Windows.
4551
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004552U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4553sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004554is done by typing:
4555
4556 make NAME_config
4557
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004558where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004559rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004560
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004561Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4562 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4563 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4564 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004565 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004566
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004567 make TQM823L_config
4568 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004569
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004570 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4571 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004572
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004573 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004574
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004575
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004576Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4577images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004578
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004579- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4580- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4581- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004582
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004583By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4584in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4585this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4586
45871. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4588
4589 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4590 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4591 make O=/tmp/build all
4592
45932. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4594
4595 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4596 make distclean
4597 make NAME_config
4598 make all
4599
4600Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4601variable.
4602
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004603
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004604Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4605for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4606native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004607
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004608
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004609If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4610to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4611steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004612
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046131. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004614 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4615 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046162. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4617 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4618 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
46193. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4620 your board
46213. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4622 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
46234. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
46245. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4625 to be installed on your target system.
46266. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4627 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004628
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004629
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004630Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4631==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004632
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004633If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4634or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004635provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4636the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004637official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004638
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004639But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4640cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004641the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4642just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004643for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4644select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4645environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4646you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004647
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004648 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004649
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004650or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004651
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004652 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004653
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004654When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4655U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4656setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4657built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4658<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4659location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4660variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004661
4662 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4663 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4664 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4665
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004666With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4667log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4668during the whole build process.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004731Environment Variables:
4732======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004733
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004734U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4735can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004736
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004737Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4738"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4739without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4740environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4741working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4742environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004743
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004744Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4745
4746List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004747
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004748 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004749
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004750 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004751
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004752 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004753
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004754 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004755
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004756 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004757
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004758 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4759 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4760 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4761 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4762 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4763 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004764 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4765 bootm_mapsize.
4766
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004767 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004768 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4769 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4770 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4771 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4772 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4773 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004774
4775 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4776 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4777 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4778 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4779 environment variable.
4780
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004781 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4782 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4783 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4784
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004785 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4786 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4787 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4788 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004789
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004790 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4791 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4792 be automatically started (by internally calling
4793 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004794
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004795 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4796 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4797 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4798 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4799 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004800
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004801 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4802 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004803 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4804 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4805 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4806 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4807 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4808 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4809 access it during the boot procedure.
4810
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004811 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4812 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4813 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4814 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4815 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4816 must be accessible by the kernel.
4817
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004818 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4819 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4820 defined.
4821
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004822 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4823 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4824 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4825 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4826 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4827
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004828 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4829 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4830 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4831 is usually what you want since it allows for
4832 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4833 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004834 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004835 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4836 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4837 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4838 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004839
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004840 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4841 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4842 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4843 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4844 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4845 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004846
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004847 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004848
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004849 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4850 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4851 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4852 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4853 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4854 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4855 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004856
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004857 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004869
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004870 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004871
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004872 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004873
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004874 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4875 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004876
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004877 => setenv ethact FEC
4878 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4879 => setenv ethact SCC
4880 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004881
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004882 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4883 available network interfaces.
4884 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4885
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004886 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004887 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4888 When set to "once" the network operation will
4889 fail when all the available network interfaces
4890 are tried once without success.
4891 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4892 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004893
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD1948d6c2009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004894 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDd2164ef2008-01-07 08:41:34 +01004895
Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004896 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4897 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4898 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4899 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4900 is silent.
4901
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004902 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02004903 UDP source port.
4904
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004905 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4906 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4907
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004908 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4909 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4910
4911 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4912 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4913 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4914 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4915 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4916 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4917 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4918
4919 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004920 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004921 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004922
Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004923The following image location variables contain the location of images
4924used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4925not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4926variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4927server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4928loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4929flash or offset in NAND flash.
4930
4931*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4932boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4933boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004942The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4943updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4944depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004945
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004946 bootfile - see above
4947 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4948 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4949 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4950 hostname - Target hostname
4951 ipaddr - see above
4952 netmask - Subnet Mask
4953 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4954 serverip - see above
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004955
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004956
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004957There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004958
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004959 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4960 as type string and/or serial number
4961 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004962
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004963These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4964the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4965once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004966
4967
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004968Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004969
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004970 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4971 with the "version" command. This variable is
4972 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004979Callback functions for environment variables:
4980---------------------------------------------
4981
4982For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4983when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4984be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4985deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4986effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4987
4988The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4989U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4990
4991These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4992static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4993in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4994associations. The list must be in the following format:
4995
4996 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4997 list = entry[,list]
4998
4999If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5000Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5001
5002Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5003with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5004override any association in the static list. You can define
5005CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5006".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005009Command Line Parsing:
5010=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005011
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005012There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5013the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005014
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005015Old, simple command line parser:
5016--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005017
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005018- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5019- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005020- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005021- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5022 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005023 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005024- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5025 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005026
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005027Hush shell:
5028-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005029
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005030- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5031 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5032 until...do...done, ...
5033- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5034 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5035 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5036 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005037
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005038General rules:
5039--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005040
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005041(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5042 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5043 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5044 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005045
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005046(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005047 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005048 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5049 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005050
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005051Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5052=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005053
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005054Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005055such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5056"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005057
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005058Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5059MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5060"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005061
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005062If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5063in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5064ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5065variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005066
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005067o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5068 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005069
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005070o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5071 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5072 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005073
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005074o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5075 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005076
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005077o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5078 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5079 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005080
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005081o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5082 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005083
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005084If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005085will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005086may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5087The naming convention is as follows:
5088"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005089
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005090Image Formats:
5091==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005092
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005093U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5094images in two formats:
5095
5096New uImage format (FIT)
5097-----------------------
5098
5099Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5100to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5101components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5102SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5103
5104
5105Old uImage format
5106-----------------
5107
5108Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5109preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5110details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005111
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005112* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

5119 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005120* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005126The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5127and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5128CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005129
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005130
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005131Linux Support:
5132==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005133
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005134Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5135easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5136U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005137
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005138U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5139special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5140"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5141instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5142serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005143
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005144- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5145 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5146 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005147
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005148- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5149 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005150
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005151- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5152 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5153 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5154 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5155 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5156 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005157
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005158
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005159Linux HOWTO:
5160============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005161
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005162Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5163---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005164
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005165U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5166configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5167(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5168Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005169
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005170But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005171
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005172Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5173include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005174Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5175and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005176as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005177
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005178
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005179Configuring the Linux kernel:
5180-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005181
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005182No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5183device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005184
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005185
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005186Building a Linux Image:
5187-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005188
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005189With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5190not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5191"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5192U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5193which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5194100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005195
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005196Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005197
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005198 make TQM850L_config
5199 make oldconfig
5200 make dep
5201 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005202
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005203The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5204encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5205CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005206
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005207* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005208
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005209* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005210
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005211 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5212 -R .note -R .comment \
5213 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005214
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005215* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005216
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005217 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005218
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005219* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005220
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005221 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5222 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5223 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005224
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005225
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005226The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5227with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5228combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5229byte header containing information about target architecture,
5230operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5231stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005232
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005233"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5234print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005235
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005236In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5237contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5238checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005239
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005240 tools/mkimage -l image
5241 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005242
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005243The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5244from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005245
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005246 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5247 -n name -d data_file image
5248 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5249 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5250 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5251 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5252 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5253 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5254 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5255 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005256
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005257Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5258address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5259kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005260

5288speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5289needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5290need to be uncompressed:

Guilherme Maciel Ferreira51553812013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005318The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5319option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5320option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5321from the image:
5322
5323 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5324 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005328Installing a Linux Image:
5329-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005330
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005331To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5332you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005333
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005334 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005335
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005336The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5337image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5338address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5339specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5340command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005341
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005342Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005508More About U-Boot Image Types:
5509------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005510
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005511U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005512
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005513 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5514 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5515 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5516 the Standalone Program.
5517 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5518 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5519 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5520 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5521 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5522 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5523 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5524 being started.
5525 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5526 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5527 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5528 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5529 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5530 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005531
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005532 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5533 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5534 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5535 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5536 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5537 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005538
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005539 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5540 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to

5544 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5545 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5546 as command interpreter.

5549-------------------------
5550
5551On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5552using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5553as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5554
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005555Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005556kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5557address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5558format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005564One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5565run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5566U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005602Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5603handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5604Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5605The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5606character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5607controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005608
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005609 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005673Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5674(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005675
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005676Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5677NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5678need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5679Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5680attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5681missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005682
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005683 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5684 # mkdir powerpc
5685 # ln -s powerpc machine
5686 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5687 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005688
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005689Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5690and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005691
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005692Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5693stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5694proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5695tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

5700=========================

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005702The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5703implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5704inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5705hardware.

5709---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005710
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005711The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5712starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5713system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5714This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5715is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5716at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5717options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5718models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5719MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5720locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005722 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005730 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5731 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5732 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5733 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5734 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005735 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005736 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5737 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005739 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5740 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005741 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005742 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5743 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5744 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5745 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005746
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005747 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005748 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5749 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005750 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005751 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5752 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5753 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5754 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5755 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005760It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5761code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005762
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005763* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5764 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005765
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005766* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005767 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5768 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005769
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005770* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5771 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005772
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005773Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5774normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5775turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5776simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5777functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5778functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5779the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5780place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5781reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005782
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005783When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5784relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5785GCC's implementation.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005787For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5788 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005789 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005790 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5791 R5-R10: parameter passing
5792 R13: small data area pointer
5793 R30: GOT pointer
5794 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005796 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5797 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5798 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005802 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5803 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5804 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5805 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5806 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5807 624 text + 127 data).

5835 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5836 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005852NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5853or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005855Memory Management:
5856------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005857
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005858U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5859MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005860
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005861The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5862controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5863memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5864physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005865
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005866U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5867TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5868booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5869to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005870memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005871configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5872Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005873
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005874Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5875of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005876
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005877So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5878this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005879
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005880 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5881 :
5882 0x0000 1FFF
5883 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5884 :
5885 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005886
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005887 :
5888 :
5889 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5890 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5891 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5892 :
5893 0x00FD FFFF
5894 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5895 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5896 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5897 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005898
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005899
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005900System Initialization:
5901----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005902
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005903In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005904(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005905configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5906To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5907To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5908initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5909which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5910part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5911the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005912
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005913Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5914preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5915(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5916on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5917programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5918simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5919banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005920
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005921When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5922different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5923bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
59240x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5925contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005926
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005927Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5928and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5929Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5930pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005931
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005932Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5933until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5934running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5935new address in RAM.

6078 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6079 GNU diff.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006098* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6099 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6100 for any of the boards.
6101
6102* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6103 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6104 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006105
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006106* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6107 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6108 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6109 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6110 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6111 modification.

Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006113* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6114 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6115 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6116 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
