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 +0000585 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
586
587 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
588 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
589 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
590 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
591 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
592 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
593 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000594 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100595 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200635 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
636
637 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
638 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
639 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
640 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
641 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
642 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

719 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
720 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000721
722 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
723 port routines must be defined elsewhere
724 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
725
726 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

Pali Rohár4a57da32012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000765 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
766 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
767 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
768
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000769 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
770 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
771 environment 'console=serial'.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000772
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000773 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
774 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
775 the "silent" environment variable. See
776 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenk3da587e2003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000777
Heiko Schocher62759562013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200778 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
779 is 0x00.
780 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
781 is 0xa0.
782
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000783- Console Baudrate:
784 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
785 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200786 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
787 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100789- Console Rx buffer length
790 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
791 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100792 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100793 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
794 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
795 the SMC.
796
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000797- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200798 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
799 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
800 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
801 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
802 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
803 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
804 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200805 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200806 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000807
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200808 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
809 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000810
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000811- Safe printf() functions
812 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
813 the printf() functions. These are defined in
814 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
815 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
816 If this option is not given then these functions will
817 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
818 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
819
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000820- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
821 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
822 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000823 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
824 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000825
826 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
827 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
828 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
829 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
830 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
831 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
832 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
833 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
834 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
835 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
836 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
837 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
838
839- Autoboot Command:
840 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
841 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
842 define a command string that is automatically executed
843 when no character is read on the console interface
844 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
845
846 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000847 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
848 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
849 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000850
851 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000852 The value of these goes into the environment as
853 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
854 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200855 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000856
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100857- Bootcount:
858 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
859 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
860 cycle, see:
861 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
862
863 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
864 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
865 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
866 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
867 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
868 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
869 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
870 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
871 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
872
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000873- Pre-Boot Commands:
874 CONFIG_PREBOOT
875
876 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
877 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
878 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
879 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
880 entering interactive mode.
881
882 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
883 automatically generated or modified. For an example
884 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
885 modified when the user holds down a certain
886 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
887 booting the systems
888
889- Serial Download Echo Mode:
890 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
891 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
892 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
893 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
894 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
895 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
896 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
897
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500898- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000899 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
900 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200901 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000902
903- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500904 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
905 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000906 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
907 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500908 and augmenting with additional #define's
909 for wanted commands.

1018 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1019 support you can write:
1020

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001026
1027 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001028 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001029 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1030 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1031 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1032 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1033 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1034 initial stack and some data.

1037 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1038
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001039- Regular expression support:
1040 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001041 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1042 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1043 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1044 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001045
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001046- Device tree:
1047 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1048 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1049 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1050 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1051 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1052 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1053
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001054 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1055 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001056
1057 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1058 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1059 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1060 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1061 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1062 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001063
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001064 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1065 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1066 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1067 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1068
1069 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1070
1071 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1072 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1073 still use the individual files if you need something more
1074 exotic.
1075
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001076- Watchdog:
1077 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1078 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001079 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1080 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1081 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1082 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1083 available, then no further board specific code should
1084 be needed to use it.
1085
1086 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1087 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1088 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1089 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001090
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001091- U-Boot Version:
1092 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1093 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1094 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1095 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001096 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1097 next reset.

1117 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001118
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001119 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1120 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1121
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001122- GPIO Support:
1123 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001124
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001125 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1126 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1127 pins supported by a particular chip.
1128
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001129 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1130 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1131
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001132- Timestamp Support:
1133
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001134 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1135 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1136 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001137 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001138
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001139- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001153
1154- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001155 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1156 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001157
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001158 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1159 be performed by calling the function

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001392 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001393 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1394 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001395 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001396 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1397 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1398 a Linux host by
1399 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1400 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1401 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1402 might be defined in YourBoardName.h

1466 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1467 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1468 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1469 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1470 viewport is supported.
1471 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1472 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001473 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1474 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1475 the appropriate value in Hz.

Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001620 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
Wolfgang Denk825223d2011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001621 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001622 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1623 support, and should also define these other macros:
1624
1625 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1626 CONFIG_VIDEO
1627 CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1628 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1629 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR

1631 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1632 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1633
Timur Tabi32f709e2011-04-11 14:18:22 -05001634 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1635 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1636 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
1637 description of this variable.
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001638
Simon Glass54df8ce2012-12-03 13:59:47 +00001639 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA
1640
1641 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
1642 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer
1643 driver.

wdenk4e112c12003-06-03 23:54:09 +00001648
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001649 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1650 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1651 defined in your board-specific files.
1652 The only board using this so far is RBC823.

Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001706 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1707
1708 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1709 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1710 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1711 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1712 a per-section basis.
1713
Simon Glassaf3e2802012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001714 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1715
1716 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1717 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1718 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1719 is slow.
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001720
Tom Wai-Hong Tam79926a42012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001721 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1722

1724
Tom Wai-Hong Tam6664f202012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001725 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1726

1728 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1729
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001730- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001731
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001732 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1733 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1734 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001735 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001736 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1737 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1738 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1739 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001740
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001741 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1742
1743 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1744 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini958a8f82014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001745 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001746 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1747 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1748 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1749 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1750 there is no need to set this option.
1751
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001752 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1753
1754 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1755 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1756 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1757 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1758 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1759 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1760
1761 Example:
1762 setenv splashpos m,m
1763 => image at center of screen
1764
1765 setenv splashpos 30,20
1766 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1767
1768 setenv splashpos -10,m
1769 => vertically centered image
1770 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1771
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001772- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1773
1774 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1775 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1776 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1777
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001778- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1779
1780 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1781 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1782 bmp command.
1783
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001784- Do compresssing for memory range:
1785 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1786
1787 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1788 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1789
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001790- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001791 CONFIG_GZIP
1792
1793 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1794
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001795 CONFIG_BZIP2
1796
1797 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1798 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1799 compressed images are supported.
1800
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001801 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001802 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001803 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001804
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001805 CONFIG_LZMA
1806
1807 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1808 images is included.
1809
1810 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1811 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1812 formula:
1813
1814 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1815
1816 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1817 and Literal pos bits.
1818
1819 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1820 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1821 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1822 a very small buffer.
1823
1824 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1825 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001826 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001827
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001828 CONFIG_LZO
1829
1830 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1831 is included.
1832
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001833- MII/PHY support:
1834 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1835
1836 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1837
1838 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1839
1840 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1841
1842 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1843
1844 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001845 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001846
1847 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1848
1849 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1850 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1851 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1852 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1853
1854 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1855
1856 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1857 command issued before MII status register can be read

1880 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1881
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001882 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001883 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001886 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1887
1888 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1889 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1890
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001891- Gateway IP address:
1892 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1893
1894 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1895 default router where packets to other networks are
1896 sent to.
1897 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1898
1899- Subnet mask:
1900 CONFIG_NETMASK
1901
1902 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1903 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1904 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1905 forwarded through a router.
1906 (Environment variable "netmask")
1907
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001908- Multicast TFTP Mode:

1910
1911 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1912 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001913 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001914 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1915 multicast group.
1916
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001917- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1918 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1919
1920 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1921 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1922 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1923 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1924 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1925 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1926 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1927 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001928 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001929
1930 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1931 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec

Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001957 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1958 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1959 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1960 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1961 is not available.
1962
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001963 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1964 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1965 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1966 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1967 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1968 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1969 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001970 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001971
1972 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1973 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1974 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001975 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001976 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1977 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001979 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1980
1981 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1982 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1983 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1984 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1985 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1986 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1987 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1988 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1989 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1990 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1991 this delay.

1994 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1995 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1996 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1997 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002043- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2044
2045 Several configurations allow to display the current
2046 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2047 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2048 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2049 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2050 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2051 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2052 feature in U-Boot.
2053
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002054 Additional options:
2055
2056 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2057 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2058 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2059 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2060 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2061
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002062 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2063 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2064 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2065 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2066 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2067 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2068
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002069- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

2072 on those systems that support this (optional)
2073 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2243 - better i2c mux support
2244
2245 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **

Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002247 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2248 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2249 for the selected CPU.

wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002258
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002259 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002260 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002261
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002262 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002263 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002264 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002265 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002266
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002267 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002268 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002269 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2270 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2271 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002272
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002273 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2274
2275 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2276 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2277 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2278 commands until the slave device responds.

wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002280 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

2286 I2C_INIT

2350
2351 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2352 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2353 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2354 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2355
2356 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2357 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002361 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2362 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2363 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2364 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2365 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2366 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2367 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2368 is run early in the boot sequence.

2371
2372 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2373 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2374 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2375 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2376 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2377 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2378 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2379 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002390 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2391 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.

2434
2435 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2436 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2437 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2438 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2439 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2440 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2441 the other.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002568 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2569 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2570 read-only.]
2571
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002572 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2573 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2574 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2575 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2576
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002577- Protected RAM:
2578 CONFIG_PRAM
2579
2580 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2581 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2582 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2583 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2584 this default value by defining an environment
2585 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2586 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2587 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2588 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2589 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2590 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2591 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2592
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002593 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002594 saveenv
2595
2596 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2597 either, which results in a memory region that will
2598 not be affected by reboots.
2599
2600 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2601 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2602 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2603 following board configurations are known to be
2604 "pRAM-clean":

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002609
Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002610- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2611 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2612 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2613 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2614 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2615 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2616 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2617
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002618- Error Recovery:
2619 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2620
2621 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2622 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2623 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002624 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002625 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2626 useful during development since you can try to debug
2627 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2628
2629 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2630
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002631 This variable defines the number of retries for
2632 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2633 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2634 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002635
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002636 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2637
2638 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2639
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002640 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2641
2642 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2643 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2644 try longer timeout such as
2645 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2646
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002647- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002648 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002649
2650 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2651
Wolfgang Denk018147d2006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002652 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2653 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002654
2655
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002656 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002657
2658 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2659 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2660 powerful command line syntax like
2661 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2662 constructs ("shell scripts").
2663
2664 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2665 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2666
2667
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002668 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002669
2670 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2671 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2672 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2673
2674 Note:
2675
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002676 In the current implementation, the local variables
2677 space and global environment variables space are
2678 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2679 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2680 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2681 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2682 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002683
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002684 Global environment variables are those you use
2685 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2686 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2687 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002688
2689 To store commands and special characters in a
2690 variable, please use double quotation marks
2691 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2692 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2693 symbols.
2694
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002695- Commandline Editing and History:
2696 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2697
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002698 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkc80857e2006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002699 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002700
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002701- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002702 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2703
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002704 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2705 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002706 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002707
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002708 For example, place something like this in your
2709 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002710
2711 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2712 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2713 "myvar2=value2\0"
2714
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002715 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2716 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2717 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2718 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002719 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002720 You better know what you are doing here.
2721
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002722 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2723 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002724 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002725 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002726
Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002727 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2728
2729 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2730 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2731 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2732
2733 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2734
2735 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2736 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2737 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2738 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2739 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2740
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002741 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2742
2743 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2744 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2745 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2746
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002747 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2748
2749 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2750 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2751 that so that the environment is not available until
2752 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2753 this is instead controlled by the value of
2754 /config/load-environment.
2755
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002756- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002757 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2758
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002759 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2760 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2761 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002762
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002763- Serial Flash support
2764 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2765
2766 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2767 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2768
2769 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2770 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2771 commands.
2772
2773 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2774 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2775 flash is present on the system.
2776
2777 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2778 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2779 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2780 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2781
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002782 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2783
2784 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2785 test ('sf test').
2786
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekic6d173d2013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302787 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2788
2789 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2790 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2791
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302792 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2793
2794 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2795 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2796 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2797
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002798- SystemACE Support:
2799 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2800
2801 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2802 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002803 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002804 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002805
2806 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002807 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002808
2809 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2810 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2811
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002812- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2813 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2814
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002815 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002816 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002817 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002818 number generator is used.
2819
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002820 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2821 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2822 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2823
2824 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002825 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2826 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2827 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2828 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2829 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2830 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2831
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002832- Hashing support:
2833 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2834
2835 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2836 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2837
2838 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2839
2840 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2841 size a little.
2842
2843 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2844 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2845
2846 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2847 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2848
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002849- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2850 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2851 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2852 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2853
2854 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2855 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2856 a boot from specific media.
2857
2858 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2859 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2860 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2861 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2862 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2863
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002864- Signing support:
2865 CONFIG_RSA
2866
2867 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel49dc73b2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01002868 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002869
2870 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2871 option.
2872
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01002873- bootcount support:
2874 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2875
2876 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2877 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2878
2879 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2880 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2881 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2882 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2883 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2884 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2885 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2886 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2887 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2888 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2889 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2890 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2891 the bootcounter.
2892 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002893
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002894- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002895 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2896
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002897 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2898 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2899 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2900 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2901 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2902 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002903
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002904- Detailed boot stage timing
2905 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2906 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2907 of the boot process.
2908
2909 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2910 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2911 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2912 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2913 the limit, recording will stop.
2914
2915 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2916 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2917
2918 Timer summary in microseconds:
2919 Mark Elapsed Stage
2920 0 0 reset
2921 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2922 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2923 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2924 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2925 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2926 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2927 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2928
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002929 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2930 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2931 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2932
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002933 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2934 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2935 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2936 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003409Modem Support:
3410--------------
3411
Wolfgang Denk8f399b32011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003412[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003413
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003414- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003415 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3416
3417- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3418 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3419
3420- Modem debug support:
3421 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3422
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003423 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3424 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003425
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003426- Interrupt support (PPC):
3427
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003428 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3429 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003430 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003431 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003432 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003433 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003434 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003435 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3436 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3437 general timer_interrupt().
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003438
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003439- General:
3440
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003441 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3442 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3443 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003444 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003445 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3446 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3447 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003448
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003449 If there are no modem init strings in the
3450 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3451 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003452 suppressed, though.

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

3530 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3531 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux

Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003534 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003535
3536 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3537 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3538 be touched.

3540 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3541 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3542 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3543 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3544 problems.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003627- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003628
3629 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3630 without this option such a download has to be
3631 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3632 copy from RAM to flash.
3633
3634 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3635 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003636 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3637 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003638 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.

3672 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3673 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3674 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3675 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3676 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3677 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3678 this option if you really know what you are doing.

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003681 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3682 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003683 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3684 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003685 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003686 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003739- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3740 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3741 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3742 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3743 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3744 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3745 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3746 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3747 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3748
Lokesh Vutla100c2d82013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003749- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003754The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3755of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3756following configurations:
3757
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003758- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3759
3760 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3761 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3762
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003763- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003764
3765 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3766
3767 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3768 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3769 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3770 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3771 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3772 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3773 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3774 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3775 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3776 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3777 between U-Boot and the environment.
3778
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003779 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003780
3781 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3782 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3783 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3784 for this sector is given here.
3785
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003786 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003787
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003788 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003789
3790 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3791 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003792 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003793
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003794 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003795
3796 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3797
3798
3799 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3800 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3801 the environment.
3802
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003803 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003804
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003805 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003806 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003807 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3808 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3809
3810 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3811 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3812 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3813 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3814 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3815 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3816 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3817 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3818 RAM, your target system will be dead.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003823 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003824 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003825 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003826 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003827
3828BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3829source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3830accordingly!

3832
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003833- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003834
3835 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3836 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3837 environment.
3838
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003839 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3840 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003841
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003842 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003843 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3844 can just be read and written to, without any special
3845 provision.
3846
3847BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3848in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003849console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003850U-Boot will hang.
3851
3852Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3853environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3854keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3855to save the current settings.
3856
3857
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003858- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003859
3860 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3861 device and a driver for it.
3862
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003863 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3864 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003865
3866 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3867 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3868
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003869 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003870 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3871 The default address is zero.
3872
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003873 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003874 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3875 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3876 would require six bits.
3877
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003878 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003879 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003880 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003881
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003882 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003883 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3884 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3885
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003886 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003887 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3888 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3889 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3890 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3891 byte chips.
3892
3893 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3894 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3895 in the chip address.
3896
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003897 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003898 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3899
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003900 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3901 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3902 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3903
3904 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3905 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3906 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3907 EEPROM. For example:
3908
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003909 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003910
3911 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3912 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003913
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD2b14d2b2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003914- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003915
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003916 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003917 want to use for the environment.
3918
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003919 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3920 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3921 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003922
3923 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3924 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3925 at the specified address.
3926
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003927- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3928
3929 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3930 want to use for the local device's environment.
3931
3932 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3933 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3934
3935 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3936 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3937 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003938 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003939
3940BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3941"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003942environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3943but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003944
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDdda84dd2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003945- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003946
3947 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3948 for the environment.
3949
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003950 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3951 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003952
3953 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003954 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3955 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003956
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003957 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003958
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003959 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003960 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3961 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003962 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003963 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3964
3965 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3966
3967 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3968 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3969 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3970 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3971 the range to be avoided.
3972
3973 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003974
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003975 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3976 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3977 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3978 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3979 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003980
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003981- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3982
3983 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3984 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3985 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3986
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003987- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3988
3989 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3990 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3991 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3992
3993 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3994
3995 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3996
3997 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3998
3999 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4000 environment in.
4001
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004002 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4003
4004 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4005 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4006 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4007
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004008 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4009 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4010
4011 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4012 when storing the env in UBI.
4013
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004014- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4015
4016 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4017 environment.
4018
4019 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4020
4021 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4022
4023 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4024
4025 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4026 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4027 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4028
4029 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4030 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4031
4032 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4033 area within the specified MMC device.
4034
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004035 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4036 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4037 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4038 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4039 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4040 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4041 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4042
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004043 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4044 MMC sector boundary.
4045
4046 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4047
4048 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4049 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4050 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4051 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4052
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004053 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4054 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4055
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004056 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4057 an MMC sector boundary.
4058
4059 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4060
4061 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4062 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4063 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4064
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004065- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004066
4067 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4068 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4069 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4070 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4071 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4072 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4073 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4074
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004075Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004076has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004077created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004078until then to read environment variables.
4079
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004080The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4081is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4082with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4083necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4084"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4085have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004086
4087Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4088the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004089use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004093
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004094 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004095 also needs to be defined.
4096
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004097- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004100- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4101 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4102 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4103 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4104 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4105 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4106
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004107- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4108 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4109 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4110 to do this.
4111
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004112- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4113 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4114 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4115 present.

4131 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4132 PowerPC SOCs.
4133
4134- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4135 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4136 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4137
4138 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4139 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4140
4141- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4142 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4143 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004144 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004145 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4146 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4147 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4148
4149 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4150 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4151
4152- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004153 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4154 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004155 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4156 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4157
4158- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4159 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4160 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4161 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4162
4163- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4164 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4165 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4390- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4391 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4392 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4393
4394- CONFIG_RMII
4395 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4396 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4397 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4398
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004399- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4400 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4401 The syntax is:
4402
4403 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4404
4405 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4406 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4407 area should have.
4408
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004409- CONFIG_LOOPW
4410 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004411 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004412
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004413- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4414 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4415 "md/mw" commands.
4416 Examples:
4417
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004418 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004419 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4420
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004421 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004422 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4423
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004424 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004425 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004426
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004427- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004428 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004429 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4430 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4431 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004432
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004433 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4434 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4435 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4436 these initializations itself.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004437
Aneesh V552a3192011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004438- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Lilja1ec96d82009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004439 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4440 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4441 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk336b2bc2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00004442
Ying Zhang2d2e3b62013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004443- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4444 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4445 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4446 It is loaded by the SPL.
4447
Ying Zhang0d4f5442013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004448- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4449 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4450 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4451 previous 4k of the .text section.
4452
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004453- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4454 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4455 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4456 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4457 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4458 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4459 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4460 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4461
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004462- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4463 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4464 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4465 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4466 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4467
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004468- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4469 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4470 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Black14f82462012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004471
Mark Jackson52b003c2013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004472- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4473 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4474
4475 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
Gabe Black76ce2492012-11-29 16:23:41 +00004476
Heiko Schocher2233e462013-11-04 14:05:00 +01004477- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4478 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4479
Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004480Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4481-----------------------------------
4482
4483The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4484loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4485This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4486are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4487within that device.
4488
4489- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4490 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4491 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4492 is also specified.
4493
4494- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4495 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4496 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4497 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4498 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4499
4500- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4501 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4502 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4503 virtual address in NOR flash.
4504
4505- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4506 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4507 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4508
4509- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4510 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4511 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4512
4513- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4514 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4515 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4516
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004517- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4518 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4519 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004520 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4521 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4522 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004524Building the Software:
4525======================
4526
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004527Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4528and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4529all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4530(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4531recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4532which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004533
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004534If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4535have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4536you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4537Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4538necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004539
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004540 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4541 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004542
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004543Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4544 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4545 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4546 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4547
4548 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4549
4550 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4551 be executed on computers running Windows.
4552
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004553U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4554sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004555is done by typing:
4556
4557 make NAME_config
4558
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004559where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004560rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004561
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004562Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4563 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4564 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4565 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004566 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004567
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004568 make TQM823L_config
4569 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004570
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004571 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4572 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004573
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004574 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004575
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004576
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004577Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4578images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004579
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004580- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4581- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4582- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004583
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004584By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4585in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4586this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4587
45881. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4589
4590 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4591 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4592 make O=/tmp/build all
4593
45942. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4595
4596 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4597 make distclean
4598 make NAME_config
4599 make all
4600
4601Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4602variable.
4603
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004604
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004605Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4606for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4607native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004608
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004609
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004610If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4611to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4612steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004613
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046141. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004615 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4616 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046172. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4618 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4619 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
46203. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4621 your board
46223. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4623 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
46244. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
46255. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4626 to be installed on your target system.
46276. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4628 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004629
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004630
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004631Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4632==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004633
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004634If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4635or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004636provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4637the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004638official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004639
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004640But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4641cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004642the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4643just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004644for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4645select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4646environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4647you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004648
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004649 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004650
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004651or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004652
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004653 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004654
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004655When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4656U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4657setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4658built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4659<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4660location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4661variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004662
4663 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4664 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4665 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4666
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004667With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4668log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4669during the whole build process.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004732Environment Variables:
4733======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004734
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004735U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4736can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004737
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004738Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4739"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4740without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4741environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4742working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4743environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004744
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004745Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4746
4747List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004748
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004749 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004750
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004751 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004752
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004753 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004754
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004755 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004756
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004757 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004758
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004759 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4760 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4761 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4762 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4763 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4764 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004765 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4766 bootm_mapsize.
4767
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004768 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004769 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4770 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4771 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4772 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4773 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4774 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004775
4776 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4777 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4778 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4779 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4780 environment variable.
4781
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004782 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4783 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4784 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4785
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004786 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4787 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4788 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4789 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004790
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004791 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4792 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4793 be automatically started (by internally calling
4794 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004795
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004796 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4797 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4798 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4799 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4800 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004801
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004802 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4803 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004804 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4805 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4806 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4807 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4808 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4809 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4810 access it during the boot procedure.
4811
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004812 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4813 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4814 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4815 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4816 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4817 must be accessible by the kernel.
4818
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004819 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4820 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4821 defined.
4822
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004823 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4824 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4825 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4826 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4827 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4828
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004829 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4830 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4831 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4832 is usually what you want since it allows for
4833 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4834 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004835 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004836 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4837 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4838 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4839 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004840
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004841 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4842 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4843 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4844 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4845 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4846 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004847
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004848 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004849
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004850 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4851 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4852 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4853 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4854 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4855 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4856 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004857
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004858 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenk6f770ed2003-05-23 23:18:21 +00004866
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004867 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004868
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004869 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004870
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004871 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004872
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004873 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004874
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004875 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4876 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004877
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004878 => setenv ethact FEC
4879 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4880 => setenv ethact SCC
4881 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004882
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004883 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4884 available network interfaces.
4885 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4886
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004887 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004888 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4889 When set to "once" the network operation will
4890 fail when all the available network interfaces
4891 are tried once without success.
4892 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4893 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004894
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD1948d6c2009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004895 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDd2164ef2008-01-07 08:41:34 +01004896
Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004897 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4898 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4899 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4900 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4901 is silent.
4902
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004903 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02004904 UDP source port.
4905
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004906 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4907 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4908
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004909 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4910 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4911
4912 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4913 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4914 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4915 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4916 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4917 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4918 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4919
4920 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004921 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004922 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004923
Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004924The following image location variables contain the location of images
4925used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4926not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4927variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4928server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4929loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4930flash or offset in NAND flash.
4931
4932*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4933boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4934boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004943The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4944updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4945depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004946
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004947 bootfile - see above
4948 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4949 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4950 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4951 hostname - Target hostname
4952 ipaddr - see above
4953 netmask - Subnet Mask
4954 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4955 serverip - see above
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004956
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004957
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004958There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004959
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004960 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4961 as type string and/or serial number
4962 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004963
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004964These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4965the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4966once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004967
4968
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004969Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004970
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004971 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4972 with the "version" command. This variable is
4973 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004974
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004975
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004976Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4977only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004980Callback functions for environment variables:
4981---------------------------------------------
4982
4983For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4984when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4985be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4986deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4987effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4988
4989The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4990U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4991
4992These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4993static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4994in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4995associations. The list must be in the following format:
4996
4997 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4998 list = entry[,list]
4999
5000If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5001Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5002
5003Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5004with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5005override any association in the static list. You can define
5006CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5007".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

5011=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005012
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005013There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5014the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005015
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005016Old, simple command line parser:
5017--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005018
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005019- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5020- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005021- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005022- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5023 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005024 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005025- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5026 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005027
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005028Hush shell:
5029-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005030
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005031- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5032 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5033 until...do...done, ...
5034- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5035 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5036 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5037 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005038
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005039General rules:
5040--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005041
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005042(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5043 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5044 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5045 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005046
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005047(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005048 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005049 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5050 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005051
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005052Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5053=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005054
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005055Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005056such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5057"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005058
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005059Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5060MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5061"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005062
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005063If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5064in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5065ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5066variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005067
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005068o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5069 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005070
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005071o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5072 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5073 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005074
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005075o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5076 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005077
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005078o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5079 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5080 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005081
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005082o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5083 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005084
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005085If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005086will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005087may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5088The naming convention is as follows:
5089"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005090
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005091Image Formats:
5092==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005093
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005094U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5095images in two formats:
5096
5097New uImage format (FIT)
5098-----------------------
5099
5100Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5101to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5102components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5103SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5104
5105
5106Old uImage format
5107-----------------
5108
5109Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5110preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5111details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005112
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005113* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005127The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5128and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5129CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005130
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005131
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005132Linux Support:
5133==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005134
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005135Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5136easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5137U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005138
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005139U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5140special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5141"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5142instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5143serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005144
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005145- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5146 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5147 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005148
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005149- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5150 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005151
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005152- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5153 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5154 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5155 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5156 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5157 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005158
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005159
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005160Linux HOWTO:
5161============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005162
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005163Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5164---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005165
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005166U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5167configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5168(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5169Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005170
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005171But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005172
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005173Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5174include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005175Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5176and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005177as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005178
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005179
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005180Configuring the Linux kernel:
5181-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005182
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005183No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5184device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005185
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005186
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005187Building a Linux Image:
5188-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005189
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005190With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5191not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5192"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5193U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5194which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5195100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005196
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005197Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005198
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005199 make TQM850L_config
5200 make oldconfig
5201 make dep
5202 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005203
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005204The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5205encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5206CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005207
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005208* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005209
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005210* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005211
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005212 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5213 -R .note -R .comment \
5214 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005215
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005216* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005217
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005218 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005219
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005220* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005221
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005222 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5223 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5224 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005225
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005226
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005227The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5228with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5229combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5230byte header containing information about target architecture,
5231operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5232stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005233
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005234"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5235print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005236
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005237In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5238contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5239checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005240
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005241 tools/mkimage -l image
5242 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005243
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005244The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5245from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005246
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005247 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5248 -n name -d data_file image
5249 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5250 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5251 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5252 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5253 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5254 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)

wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005258Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5259address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5260kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005261
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005262- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5263- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005264
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005265So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005266

5289speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5290needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5291need to be uncompressed:

Guilherme Maciel Ferreira51553812013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005319The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5320option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5321option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5322from the image:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005329Installing a Linux Image:
5330-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005331
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005332To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5333you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005334
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005335 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005336
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005337The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5338image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5339address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5340specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5341command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005342
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005343Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005509More About U-Boot Image Types:
5510------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005511
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005512U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005513
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005514 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5515 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5516 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5517 the Standalone Program.
5518 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5519 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5520 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5521 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5522 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5523 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5524 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5525 being started.
5526 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5527 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5528 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5529 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5530 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5531 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005532
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005533 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5534 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5535 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".

5537 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005540 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5541 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5542 flash memory.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005544 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5545 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5546 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5547 as command interpreter.

5550-------------------------
5551
5552On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5553using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5554as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5555
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005556Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005557kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5558address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5559format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005565One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5566run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5567U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005603Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5604handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5605Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5606The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5607character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5608controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005609

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005674Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5675(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005676
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005677Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5678NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5679need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5680Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5681attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5682missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005683
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005684 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5685 # mkdir powerpc
5686 # ln -s powerpc machine
5687 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5688 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005689
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005690Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5691and U-Boot include files.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005693Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5694stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5695proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5696tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

5701=========================

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005703The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5704implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5705inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5706hardware.

5710---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005711
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005712The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5713starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5714system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5715This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5716is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5717at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5718options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5719models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5720MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5721locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005722
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005723 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005731 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5732 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5733 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5734 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5735 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005736 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005737 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5738 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005739
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005740 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5741 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005742 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005743 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5744 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5745 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5746 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005747
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005748 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005749 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5750 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005751 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005752 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5753 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5754 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5755 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5756 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005761It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5762code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005763
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005764* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5765 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005766
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005767* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005768 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5769 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005770
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005771* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5772 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005773
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005774Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5775normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5776turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5777simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5778functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5779functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5780the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5781place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5782reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005783
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005784When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5785relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5786GCC's implementation.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005788For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5789 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005790 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005791 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5792 R5-R10: parameter passing
5793 R13: small data area pointer
5794 R30: GOT pointer
5795 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005797 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5798 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5799 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005800
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005801 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005802
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005803 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5804 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5805 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5806 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5807 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,

5836 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5837 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005853NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5854or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005856Memory Management:
5857------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005858
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005859U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5860MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005861
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005862The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5863controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5864memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5865physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005866
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005867U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5868TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5869booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5870to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005871memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005872configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5873Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005874
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005875Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5876of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005877
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005878So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5879this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005880
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005881 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5882 :
5883 0x0000 1FFF
5884 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5885 :
5886 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005887
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005888 :
5889 :
5890 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5891 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5892 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5893 :
5894 0x00FD FFFF
5895 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5896 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5897 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5898 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005899
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005900
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005901System Initialization:
5902----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005903
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005904In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005905(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005906configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5907To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5908To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5909initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5910which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5911part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5912the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005913
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005914Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5915preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5916(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5917on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5918programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5919simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5920banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005921
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005922When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5923different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5924bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
59250x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5926contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005927
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005928Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5929and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5930Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5931pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005932
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005933Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5934until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5935running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5936new address in RAM.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006016All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006017coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006018"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006019
6020Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6021MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6022reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6023sources.

Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006074 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006075 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6076 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006078 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6079 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6080 GNU diff.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006082 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6083 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6084 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6085 affected files).
6086
6087 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6088 and compressed attachments must not be used.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006090* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6091 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006093* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6094 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006099* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6100 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6101 for any of the boards.
6102
6103* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6104 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6105 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006106
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006107* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6108 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6109 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6110 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6111 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6112 modification.

Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006114* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6115 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6116 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6117 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
