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 +0000224Software Configuration:
225=======================
226
227Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
228rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
229
230There are two classes of configuration variables:
231
232* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
233 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
234 "CONFIG_".
235
236* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
237 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
238 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200239 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000240
241Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
242identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
243do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
244links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
245as an example here.
246
247
248Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
249---------------------------------------------------
250
251For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
252configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
253
254Example: For a TQM823L module type:
255
256 cd u-boot
257 make TQM823L_config
258
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200259For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000260e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
261directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
262
263
264Configuration Options:
265----------------------
266
267Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
268such information is kept in a configuration file
269"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
270
271Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
272"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
273
274
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000275Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
276kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
277build a config tool - later.
278
279
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000280The following options need to be configured:
281

Prabhakar Kushwahaa6a30622012-04-29 23:56:13 +0000373 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
374
375 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
376 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
377 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
378 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
379 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
380 purpose.
381
Scott Wood80806962012-08-14 10:14:53 +0000382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510

390
391 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
392 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
393
394 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
395 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
396 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
397 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
398
399 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
400 this erratum.

487
Aneesh Vb8e40802012-03-08 07:20:19 +0000488 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
489
490 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
491 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides

499 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
500
501 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
502 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
503 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
504 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
505 set these options unless they apply!
506
Stephen Warren445d56c2013-03-27 17:06:41 +0000507- CPU timer options:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000515 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
516
517 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
518 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
519 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
520 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
521 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
522 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
523 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000524 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100525 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

564
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200565 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
566
567 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
568 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
569 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
570 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
571 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
572 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
573
Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000574 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
575
576 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
577 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
578 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
579 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
580 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
581 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
582 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

636 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
637 this variable to initialize the extra register.
638
639 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
640
641 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000703 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
704 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
705 the "silent" environment variable. See
706 doc/README.silent for more information.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000708- Console Baudrate:
709 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
710 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200711 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100714- Console Rx buffer length
715 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
716 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100717 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100718 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
719 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
720 the SMC.
721
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000722- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200723 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
724 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
725 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
726 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
727 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
728 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
729 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200730 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200731 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000732
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200733 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
734 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000735
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000736- Safe printf() functions
737 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
738 the printf() functions. These are defined in
739 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
740 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
741 If this option is not given then these functions will
742 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
743 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
744
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000745- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
746 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
747 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000748 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
749 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000750
751 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
752 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
753 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
754 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
755 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
756 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
757 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
758 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
759 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
760 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
761 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
762 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
763
764- Autoboot Command:
765 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
766 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
767 define a command string that is automatically executed
768 when no character is read on the console interface
769 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
770
771 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000772 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
773 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
774 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000775
776 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000777 The value of these goes into the environment as
778 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
779 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200780 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000781
782- Pre-Boot Commands:
783 CONFIG_PREBOOT
784
785 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
786 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
787 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
788 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
789 entering interactive mode.
790
791 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
792 automatically generated or modified. For an example
793 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
794 modified when the user holds down a certain
795 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
796 booting the systems
797
798- Serial Download Echo Mode:
799 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
800 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
801 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
802 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
803 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
804 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
805 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500813 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
814 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000815 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
816 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500817 and augmenting with additional #define's
818 for wanted commands.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000932
933 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500934 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000935 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
936 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
937 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
938 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
939 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
940 initial stack and some data.

943 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
944
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000945- Regular expression support:
946 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +0200947 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
948 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
949 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
950 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000951
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000952- Device tree:
953 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
954 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
955 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
956 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
957 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
958 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
959
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000960 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
961 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +0000962
963 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
964 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
965 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
966 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
967 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
968 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000969
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000970 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
971 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
972 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
973 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
974
975 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
976
977 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
978 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
979 still use the individual files if you need something more
980 exotic.
981
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000982- Watchdog:
983 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
984 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000985 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
986 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260

Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001300 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1301 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to

Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001303 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1304 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1305 a Linux host by
1306 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1307 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1308 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1309 might be defined in YourBoardName.h

Igor Grinbergac5f6ee2011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001365- ULPI Layer Support:
1366 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1367 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1368 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1369 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1370 viewport is supported.
1371 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1372 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001373 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1374 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1375 the appropriate value in Hz.

1409
Afzal Mohammede3c687a2013-09-18 01:15:24 +05301410 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1411 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1412 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1413 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1414 one that would help mostly the developer.
1415
Heiko Schochera2f831e2013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001416 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1417 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1418 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1419 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1420 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1421
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001422 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1423 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1424 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1425 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1426 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1427 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +00001439 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1440 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1441
1442 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001443 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +00001444 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1445 have not defined a custom partition

1618 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1619 is slow.

Tom Wai-Hong Tam79926a42012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001621 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1622
1623 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1624
Tom Wai-Hong Tam6664f202012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001625 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1626
1627 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1628 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1629
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001630- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001631
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001632 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1633 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1634 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001635 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001636 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1637 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1638 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1639 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001640
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001641 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1642
1643 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1644 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1645 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1646 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1647 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1648 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1649 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1650 there is no need to set this option.
1651
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001652 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1653
1654 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1655 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1656 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1657 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1658 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1659 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1660
1661 Example:
1662 setenv splashpos m,m
1663 => image at center of screen
1664
1665 setenv splashpos 30,20
1666 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1667
1668 setenv splashpos -10,m
1669 => vertically centered image
1670 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1671
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001672- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1673
1674 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1675 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1676 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1677
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001678- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1679
1680 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1681 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1682 bmp command.
1683
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001684- Do compresssing for memory range:
1685 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1686
1687 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1688 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1689
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001690- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001691 CONFIG_GZIP
1692
1693 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1694
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001695 CONFIG_BZIP2
1696
1697 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1698 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1699 compressed images are supported.
1700
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001701 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001702 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001703 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001704
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001705 CONFIG_LZMA
1706
1707 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1708 images is included.
1709
1710 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1711 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1712 formula:
1713
1714 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1715
1716 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1717 and Literal pos bits.
1718
1719 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1720 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1721 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1722 a very small buffer.
1723
1724 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1725 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001726 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001727
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001728 CONFIG_LZO
1729
1730 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1731 is included.
1732
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001733- MII/PHY support:
1734 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1735
1736 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1737
1738 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1739
1740 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1741
1742 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1743
1744 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001745 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001746
1747 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1748
1749 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1750 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1751 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1752 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1753
1754 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1755
1756 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1757 command issued before MII status register can be read

1780 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1781
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001782 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001786 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1787
1788 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1789 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1790
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001791- Gateway IP address:
1792 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1793
1794 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1795 default router where packets to other networks are
1796 sent to.
1797 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1798
1799- Subnet mask:
1800 CONFIG_NETMASK
1801
1802 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1803 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1804 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1805 forwarded through a router.
1806 (Environment variable "netmask")
1807
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001808- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1809 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1810
1811 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1812 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001813 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001814 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1815 multicast group.
1816
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001817- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1818 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1819
1820 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1821 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1822 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1823 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1824 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1825 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1826 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1827 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001828 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001829
1830 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1831 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1832 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1833 4th and following
1834 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001853
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001854 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1855 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001856
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001857 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1858 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1859 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1860 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1861 is not available.
1862
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001863 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1864 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1865 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1866 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1867 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1868 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1869 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001870 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001871
1872 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1873 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1874 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001875 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001876 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1877 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001878
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001879 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1880
1881 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1882 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1883 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1884 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1885 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1886 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1887 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1888 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1889 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1890 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1891 this delay.
1892
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001893 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1894 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1895 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1896 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1897 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1898
1899 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

1908 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1909 of the device.
1910
1911 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1912
1913 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1914 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001915 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001943- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1944
1945 Several configurations allow to display the current
1946 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1947 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1948 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1949 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1950 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1951 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1952 feature in U-Boot.
1953
1954- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1955
1956 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1957 on those systems that support this (optional)
1958 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2007
2008 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2009 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2010 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this

2012 omit this define.
2013
2014 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2015 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.

2017 omit this define.
2018
2019 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2020 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2021 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2022 define.
2023
2024 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2025 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2026 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2027 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and

Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002054- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002055
2056 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2057 provides the following compelling advantages:
2058
2059 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2060 - approved multibus support
2061 - better i2c mux support
2062
2063 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002064
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002065 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2066 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2067 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002068
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002069 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002070 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002071 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2072 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002073 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002074
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002075 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002076
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002077 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002078 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002079
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002080 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002081 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002082 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002083 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002084
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002085 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002086 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002087 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2088 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2089 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002090
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002091 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2092
2093 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2094 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2095 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2096 commands until the slave device responds.
2097
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002098 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002099
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002100 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002101 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2102 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002103
2104 I2C_INIT
2105
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002106 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002107 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002108
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002109 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002110
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002111 I2C_PORT
2112
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002113 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2114 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2115 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002116
2117 I2C_ACTIVE
2118
2119 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2120 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2121 define can be null.
2122
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002123 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2124
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002125 I2C_TRISTATE
2126
2127 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2128 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2129 define can be null.
2130
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002131 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2132
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002133 I2C_READ
2134
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002135 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2136 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002137
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002138 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2139
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002140 I2C_SDA(bit)
2141
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002142 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2143 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002144
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002145 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002146 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002147 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002148
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002149 I2C_SCL(bit)
2150
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002151 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2152 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002153
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002154 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002155 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002156 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002157
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002158 I2C_DELAY
2159
2160 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2161 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002162 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002163 like:
2164
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002165 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002166
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002167 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2168
2169 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2170 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2171 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2172 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2173
2174 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2175 the generic GPIO functions.
2176
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002177 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002178
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002179 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2180 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2181 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2182 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2183 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2184 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2185 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2186 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002187
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002188 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2189
2190 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2191 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2192 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2193 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2194 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2195 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2196 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2197 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2198
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002199 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2200
2201 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2202 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2203 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2204
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002205 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2206
2207 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002208 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2209 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002210 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2211
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002212 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002213
2214 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002215 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002216 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2217 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002218
2219 e.g.
2220 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002221 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002222
2223 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2224
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002225 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002226 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002227
2228 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2229
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002230 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002231
2232 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2233 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2234
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002235 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002236
2237 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2238 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2239
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002240 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002241
2242 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2243 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2244
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002245 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002246
2247 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2248 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2249 specified DTT device.
2250
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002251 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2252
2253 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2254 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2255 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2256 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2257 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2258 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2259 the other.

Yoshihiro Shimoda65bd9b42011-01-31 16:50:43 +09002267 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2268
2269 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2270 only SH7757 is supported.

2274 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2275 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2276
2277 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2278
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002279 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2280 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2281 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2282 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2283 defined, the board configuration must define several
2284 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2285 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

Ben Warren7efe9272008-01-16 22:37:35 -05002287 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2288
2289 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2290 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2291 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002292 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an

2361- Configuration Management:
2362 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2363
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002364 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2365 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002366
2367- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2368
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002369 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2370 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002371 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002372 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2373 protects these variables from casual modification by
2374 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2375 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002376 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002377
2378 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2379 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002380 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002381 these parameters.
2382
2383 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2384 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002385 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002386 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2387 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2388 read-only.]
2389
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002390 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2391 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2392 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2393 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2394
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002395- Protected RAM:
2396 CONFIG_PRAM
2397
2398 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2399 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2400 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2401 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2402 this default value by defining an environment
2403 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2404 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2405 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2406 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2407 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2408 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2409 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2410
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002411 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002412 saveenv
2413
2414 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2415 either, which results in a memory region that will
2416 not be affected by reboots.
2417
2418 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2419 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2420 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2421 following board configurations are known to be
2422 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002428- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2429 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2430 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2431 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2432 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2433 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2434 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2435
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002436- Error Recovery:
2437 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2438
2439 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2440 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2441 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002442 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002443 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2444 useful during development since you can try to debug
2445 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2446
2447 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2448
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002449 This variable defines the number of retries for
2450 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2451 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2452 default value of 5 is used.

Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002454 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT

2457
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002458 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2459
2460 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2461 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2462 try longer timeout such as
2463 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002467
2468 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2469
Wolfgang Denk018147d2006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002470 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2471 for the "hush" shell.

2473
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002474 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002475
2476 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2477 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2478 powerful command line syntax like
2479 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2480 constructs ("shell scripts").
2481
2482 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2483 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2484
2485
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002486 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002487
2488 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2489 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2490 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2491
2492 Note:
2493
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002494 In the current implementation, the local variables
2495 space and global environment variables space are
2496 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2497 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2498 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2499 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2500 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002501
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002502 Global environment variables are those you use
2503 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2504 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2505 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002506
2507 To store commands and special characters in a
2508 variable, please use double quotation marks
2509 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2510 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2511 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002520 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2521
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002522 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2523 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002524 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002525
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002526 For example, place something like this in your
2527 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002528
2529 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2530 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2531 "myvar2=value2\0"
2532
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002533 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2534 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2535 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2536 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002537 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002538 You better know what you are doing here.
2539
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002540 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2541 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002542 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002543 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002544
Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002545 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2546
2547 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2548 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2549 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2550
2551 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2552
2553 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2554 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2555 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2556 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2557 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2558
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002559 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2560
2561 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2562 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2563 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2564
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002565 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2566
2567 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2568 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2569 that so that the environment is not available until
2570 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2571 this is instead controlled by the value of
2572 /config/load-environment.
2573

wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002575 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2576
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002577 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2578 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2579 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002580
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002581- Serial Flash support
2582 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2583
2584 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2585 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2586
2587 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2588 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2589 commands.
2590
2591 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2592 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2593 flash is present on the system.
2594

wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002610- SystemACE Support:
2611 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2612
2613 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2614 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002615 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002616 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002617
2618 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002619 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002620
2621 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2622 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2623
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002624- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2625 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2626
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002627 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002628 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002629 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002630 number generator is used.
2631
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002632 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2633 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2634 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2635
2636 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002637 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2638 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2639 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2640 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2641 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2642 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2643
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002644- Hashing support:
2645 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2646
2647 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2648 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2649
2650 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2651
2652 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2653 size a little.
2654
2655 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2656 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2657
2658 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2659 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2660
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002661- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2662 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2663 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2664 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2665
2666 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2667 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2668 a boot from specific media.
2669
2670 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2671 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2672 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2673 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2674 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2675
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002676- Signing support:
2677 CONFIG_RSA
2678
2679 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2680 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2681
2682 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2683 option.

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002686- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002687 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2688
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002689 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2690 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2691 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2692 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2693 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2694 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002695
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002696- Detailed boot stage timing
2697 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2698 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2699 of the boot process.
2700
2701 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2702 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2703 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2704 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2705 the limit, recording will stop.
2706
2707 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2708 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2709
2710 Timer summary in microseconds:
2711 Mark Elapsed Stage
2712 0 0 reset
2713 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2714 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2715 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done

2718 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2719 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2720
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002721 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2722 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2723 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2724
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002725 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2726 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2727 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2728 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2729 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2730 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2731 For example:
2732
2733 bootstage {
2734 154 {
2735 name = "board_init_f";
2736 mark = <3575678>;
2737 };
2738 170 {
2739 name = "lcd";
2740 accum = <33482>;
2741 };
2742 };
2743
2744 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +02002918 This option defines a board specific value for the
2919 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
2920 overwriting the architecture dependent default
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02002921 settings.
2922
2923- Frame Buffer Address:
2924 CONFIG_FB_ADDR
2925
2926 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
Wolfgang Denka71eb8e2013-01-03 00:43:59 +00002927 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
2928 when using a graphics controller has separate video
2929 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2930 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2931 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2932 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2933 configured panel size.

3210 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3211
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003212 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3213 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003214
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003215- Interrupt support (PPC):
3216
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003217 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3218 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003219 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003220 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003221 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003222 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003223 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003224 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3225 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3226 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003228- General:
3229
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003230 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3231 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3232 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003233 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003234 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3235 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3236 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003237
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003238 If there are no modem init strings in the
3239 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3240 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003241 suppressed, though.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003287
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003288- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003289 If the board specific function
3290 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3291 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003292 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3293
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003294- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003297- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003298 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3299
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003300- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:

3302 simple memory test.
3303
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003304- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003305 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003306
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003307- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5958f4a2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003308 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3309 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3310
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003311- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3312 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003313 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003314 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003315 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3316 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3317 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003318 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003319 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003320 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003321
3322 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3323 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3324 be touched.
3325
3326 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3327 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3328 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3329 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3330 problems.
3331
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003332- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:

3344
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003345- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003346 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3347 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk0708bc62010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003348 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003349 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003350
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003351- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003352 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3353 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3354 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3355 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003356
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003357- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003358 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3359
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003360- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003361 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3362 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003363 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003364 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3365
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003366- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003367 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3368 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003369 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3370 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003371 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003372 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003373 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003374 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3375 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3376 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003377
John Rigbyeea8e692010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003378- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3379 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3380 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3381 is enabled.
3382
3383- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3384 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3385 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3386
3387- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3388 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3389 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3390
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003391- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003392 Max number of Flash memory banks
3393
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003394- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003395 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3396
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003397- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003398 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3399
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003400- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003401 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3402
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003403- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003404 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3405
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003406- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003407 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3408
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003409- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003410 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3411 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3412
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003413- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003414
3415 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3416 without this option such a download has to be
3417 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3418 copy from RAM to flash.
3419
3420 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3421 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003422 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3423 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003424 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3425
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003426- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003427 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003428 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3429
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD8d94c232008-08-13 01:40:42 +02003430- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003431 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3432 in the drivers directory
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003433
Piotr Ziecik3e939e92008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003434- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3435 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3436 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3437 to the MTD layer.
3438
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003439- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski183284f2008-04-03 13:36:02 +02003440 Use buffered writes to flash.
3441
3442- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3443 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3444 write commands.
3445
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003446- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roesec443fe92005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003447 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3448 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3449 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3450 optionally available.
3451
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003452- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3453 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3454 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3455 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3456
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003457- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3458 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3459 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3460 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3461 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3462 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3463 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3464 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3465
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003466- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003467 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3468 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003469 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3470 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003471 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003472 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3473
Wolfgang Denk460a9ff2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02003474- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3475
Wolfgang Denk1136f692010-10-27 22:48:30 +02003476 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3477 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3478 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3479 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3480 lib/hashtable.c for details.
Wolfgang Denk460a9ff2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02003481

Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003510 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3511 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3512 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3513
3514 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3515 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3516 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3517 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3518 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3519 ".flags" variable.
3520
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003521- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3522 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3523 access flags.
3524
Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003525- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3526 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3527 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3528 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3529 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3530 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3531 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3532 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3533 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3534
Simon Glass9c9f44a2013-03-11 07:06:48 +00003535- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3536 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3537 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3538 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3539 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3540
Lokesh Vutla100c2d82013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003541- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3542 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3543 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3544 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003546The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3547of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3548following configurations:
3549
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003550- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3551
3552 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3553 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3554
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003555- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003556
3557 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3558
3559 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3560 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3561 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3562 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3563 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3564 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3565 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3566 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3567 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3568 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3569 between U-Boot and the environment.
3570
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003571 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003572
3573 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3574 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3575 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3576 for this sector is given here.
3577
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003578 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003579
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003580 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003581
3582 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3583 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003584 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003585
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003586 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003587
3588 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3589
3590
3591 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3592 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3593 the environment.
3594
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003595 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003596
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003597 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003598 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003599 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3600 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3601
3602 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3603 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3604 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3605 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3606 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3607 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3608 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3609 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3610 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3611
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003612 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3613 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003614
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003615 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003616 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003617 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003618 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003619
3620BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3621source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3622accordingly!
3623
3624
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003625- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003626
3627 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3628 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3629 environment.
3630
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003631 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3632 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003633
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003634 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003635 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3636 can just be read and written to, without any special
3637 provision.
3638
3639BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3640in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003641console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003642U-Boot will hang.
3643
3644Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3645environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3646keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3647to save the current settings.
3648
3649
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003650- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003651
3652 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3653 device and a driver for it.
3654
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003655 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3656 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003657
3658 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3659 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3660
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003661 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003662 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3663 The default address is zero.
3664
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003665 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003666 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3667 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3668 would require six bits.
3669
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003670 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003671 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003672 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003673
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003674 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003675 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3676 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3677
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003678 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003679 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3680 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3681 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3682 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3683 byte chips.
3684
3685 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3686 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3687 in the chip address.
3688
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003689 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003690 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3691
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003692 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3693 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3694 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3695
3696 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3697 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3698 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3699 EEPROM. For example:
3700
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003701 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003702
3703 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3704 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003705
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD2b14d2b2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003706- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003707
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003708 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003709 want to use for the environment.
3710
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003711 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3712 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3713 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003714
3715 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3716 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3717 at the specified address.
3718
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003719- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3720
3721 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3722 want to use for the local device's environment.
3723
3724 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3725 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3726
3727 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3728 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3729 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003730 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003731
3732BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3733"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003734environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3735but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003736
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDdda84dd2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003737- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003738
3739 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3740 for the environment.
3741
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003742 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3743 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003744
3745 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003746 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3747 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003748
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003749 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003750
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003751 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003752 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3753 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003754 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003755 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3756
3757 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3758
3759 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3760 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3761 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3762 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3763 the range to be avoided.
3764
3765 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003766
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003767 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3768 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3769 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3770 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3771 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003772
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003773- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3774
3775 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3776 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3777 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3778
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003779- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3780
3781 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3782 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3783 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3784
3785 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3786
3787 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3788
3789 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3790
3791 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3792 environment in.
3793
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00003794 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3795
3796 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3797 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3798 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3799
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003800 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3801 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3802
3803 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3804 when storing the env in UBI.
3805
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003806- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3807
3808 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3809 environment.
3810
3811 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3812
3813 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3814
3815 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3816
3817 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3818 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3819 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3820
3821 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3822 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3823
3824 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3825 area within the specified MMC device.
3826
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003827 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3828 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3829 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3830 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3831 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3832 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the

Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003835 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3836 MMC sector boundary.
3837
3838 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3839
3840 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3841 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3842 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3843 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3844
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003845 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3846 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3847
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003848 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3849 an MMC sector boundary.
3850
3851 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3852
3853 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3854 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3855 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003857- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003858
3859 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3860 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3861 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3862 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3863 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3864 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3865 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3866
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003867Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003868has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02003869created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003870until then to read environment variables.
3871
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003872The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3873is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3874with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3875necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3876"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3877have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003878
3879Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3880the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003881use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00003917
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003918 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003922- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3923 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3924 PowerPC SOCs.
3925
3926- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3927 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3928 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3929
3930 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3931 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3932
3933- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3934 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3935 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003936 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003937 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3938 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3939 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3940
3941 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3942 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3943
3944- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003945 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3946 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003947 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3948 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3949
3950- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3951 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3952 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3953 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3954
3955- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3956 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3957 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004171- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4172 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4173
4174- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4175 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004176 to the given FEC; i. e.
4177 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004178 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4179
4180 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4181
4182- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4183 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4184 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4185
4186- CONFIG_RMII
4187 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4188 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4189 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4190
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004191- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4192 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4193 The syntax is:
4194
4195 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4196
4197 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4198 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4199 area should have.

4206 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4207 "md/mw" commands.
4208 Examples:
4209
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004210 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004211 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4212
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004213 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004214 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4215
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004216 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004217 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004219- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004220 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004221 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4222 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4223 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004224
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004225 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4226 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4227 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4228 these initializations itself.

Magnus Lilja1ec96d82009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004231 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4232 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4233 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk336b2bc2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00004234
Ying Zhang2d2e3b62013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004235- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4236 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4237 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4238 It is loaded by the SPL.
4239
Ying Zhang0d4f5442013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004240- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4241 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4242 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4243 previous 4k of the .text section.
4244
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004245- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4246 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4247 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4248 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4249 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4250 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4251 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4252 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4253
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004254- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4255 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4256 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4257 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4258 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4259
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004260- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4261 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4262 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Black14f82462012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004263
Mark Jackson52b003c2013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004264- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4265 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4266
4267 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.

Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004269Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4270-----------------------------------
4271
4272The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4273loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4274This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4275are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4276within that device.
4277
4278- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4279 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4280 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4281 is also specified.
4282
4283- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4284 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4285 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4286 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4287 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4288
4289- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4290 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4291 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4292 virtual address in NOR flash.
4293
4294- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4295 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4296 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4297
4298- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4299 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4300 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4301
4302- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4303 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4304 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4305
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004306- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4307 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4308 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004309 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4310 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4311 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004313Building the Software:
4314======================
4315
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004316Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4317and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4318all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4319(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4320recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4321which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004322
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004323If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4324have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4325you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4326Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4327necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004328
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004329 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4330 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004331
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004332Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4333 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4334 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4335 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4336
4337 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4338
4339 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4340 be executed on computers running Windows.
4341
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004342U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4343sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004344is done by typing:
4345
4346 make NAME_config
4347
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004348where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004349rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004350
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004351Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4352 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4353 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4354 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004355 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004356
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004357 make TQM823L_config
4358 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004359
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004360 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4361 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004362
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004363 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004364
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004365
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004366Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4367images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004368
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004369- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4370- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4371- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004372
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004373By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4374in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4375this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4376
43771. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4378
4379 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4380 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4381 make O=/tmp/build all
4382
43832. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4384
4385 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4386 make distclean
4387 make NAME_config
4388 make all
4389
4390Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4391variable.
4392
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004393
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004394Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4395for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4396native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004397

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004399If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4400to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4401steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004402
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000044031. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004404 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4405 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000044062. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4407 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4408 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
44093. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4410 your board
44113. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4412 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
44134. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
44145. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4415 to be installed on your target system.
44166. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4417 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004420Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4421==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004422
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004423If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4424or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004425provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4426the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004427official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004428
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004429But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4430cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004431the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4432just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004433for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4434select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4435environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4436you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004437
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004438 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004439
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004440or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004441
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004442 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004443
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004444When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4445U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4446setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4447built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4448<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4449location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4450variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004451
4452 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4453 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4454 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4455
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004456With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4457log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4458during the whole build process.

4520
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004521Environment Variables:
4522======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004523
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004524U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4525can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004526
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004527Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4528"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4529without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4530environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4531working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4532environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004533
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004534Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4535
4536List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004537
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004538 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004539
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004540 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004541
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004542 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004543
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004544 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004545
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004546 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004547
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004548 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4549 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4550 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4551 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4552 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4553 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004554 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4555 bootm_mapsize.
4556
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004557 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004558 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4559 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4560 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4561 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4562 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4563 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004564
4565 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4566 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4567 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4568 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4569 environment variable.
4570
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004571 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4572 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4573 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4574
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004575 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4576 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4577 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4578 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004579
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004580 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4581 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4582 be automatically started (by internally calling
4583 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004584
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004585 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4586 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4587 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4588 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4589 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004590
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004591 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4592 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004593 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4594 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4595 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4596 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4597 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4598 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4599 access it during the boot procedure.
4600
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004601 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4602 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4603 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4604 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4605 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4606 must be accessible by the kernel.
4607
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004608 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4609 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4610 defined.
4611
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004612 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4613 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4614 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4615 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4616 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4617
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004618 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4619 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4620 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4621 is usually what you want since it allows for
4622 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4623 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004624 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004625 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4626 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4627 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4628 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004629
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004630 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4631 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4632 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4633 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4634 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4635 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004636
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004637 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004638
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004639 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4640 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4641 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4642 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4643 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4644 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4645 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004646
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004647 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004649 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4650 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004651

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004661
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004662 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004663
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004664 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4665 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004666
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004667 => setenv ethact FEC
4668 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4669 => setenv ethact SCC
4670 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004671
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004672 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4673 available network interfaces.
4674 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4675
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004676 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004677 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4678 When set to "once" the network operation will
4679 fail when all the available network interfaces
4680 are tried once without success.

4687 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4688 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4689 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4690 is silent.

4697
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004698 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4699 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4700
4701 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4702 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4703 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4704 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4705 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4706 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4707 with unreliable TFTP servers.

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004713The following image location variables contain the location of images
4714used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4715not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4716variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4717server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4718loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4719flash or offset in NAND flash.
4720
4721*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4722boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4723boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004747There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004748
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004749 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4750 as type string and/or serial number
4751 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004752
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004753These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4754the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4755once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004756
4757
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004758Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004759
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004760 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4761 with the "version" command. This variable is
4762 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004763

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004769Callback functions for environment variables:
4770---------------------------------------------
4771
4772For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4773when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4774be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4775deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4776effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4777
4778The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4779U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4780
4781These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4782static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4783in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4784associations. The list must be in the following format:
4785
4786 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4787 list = entry[,list]
4788
4789If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4790Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4791
4792Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4793with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4794override any association in the static list. You can define
4795CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4796".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4797

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004799Command Line Parsing:
4800=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004801
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004802There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4803the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004804
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004805Old, simple command line parser:
4806--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004807
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004808- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4809- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004810- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004811- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4812 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004813 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004814- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4815 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004816
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004817Hush shell:
4818-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004819
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004820- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4821 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4822 until...do...done, ...
4823- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4824 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4825 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4826 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004827
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004828General rules:
4829--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004830
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004831(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4832 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4833 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4834 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004835
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004836(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004837 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004838 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4839 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004840
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004841Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4842=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004843
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004844Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004845such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4846"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004847
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004848Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4849MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4850"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004851
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004852If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4853in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4854ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4855variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004856
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004857o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4858 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004859
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004860o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4861 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4862 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004863
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004864o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4865 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004866
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004867o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4868 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4869 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004870
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004871o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4872 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004873
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004874If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004875will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004876may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4877The naming convention is as follows:
4878"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004879
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004880Image Formats:
4881==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004882
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01004883U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4884images in two formats:
4885
4886New uImage format (FIT)
4887-----------------------
4888
4889Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4890to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4891components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4892SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4893
4894
4895Old uImage format
4896-----------------
4897
4898Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4899preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4900details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004901

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004920
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004921Linux Support:
4922==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004923
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004924Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4925easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4926U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004927
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004928U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4929special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4930"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4931instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4932serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004933
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004934- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4935 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4936 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004937
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004938- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4939 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004940
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004941- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4942 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4943 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4944 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4945 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4946 software is easier now.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004952Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4953---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004954
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004955U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4956configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4957(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4958Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004959
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02004960But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004961
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004962Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4963include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02004964Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4965and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004969Configuring the Linux kernel:
4970-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004971
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004972No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4973device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004976Building a Linux Image:
4977-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004978
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004979With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4980not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4981"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4982U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4983which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4984100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004985
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004986Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004987
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004988 make TQM850L_config
4989 make oldconfig
4990 make dep
4991 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004992
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004993The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4994encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4995CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004996
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004997* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004998
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004999* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005000
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005001 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5002 -R .note -R .comment \
5003 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005004
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005005* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005006
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005007 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005008
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005009* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005010
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005011 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5012 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5013 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005014
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005015
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005016The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5017with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5018combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5019byte header containing information about target architecture,
5020operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5021stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005022
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005023"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5024print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005025
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005026In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5027contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5028checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005029
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005030 tools/mkimage -l image
5031 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005032
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005033The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5034from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005035
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005036 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5037 -n name -d data_file image
5038 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5039 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5040 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5041 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5042 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5043 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5044 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5045 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005046
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005047Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5048address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5049kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005050
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005051- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5052- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005053
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005054So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005055

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005109Installing a Linux Image:
5110-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005111
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005112To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5113you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005114
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005115 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005116
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005117The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5118image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5119address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5120specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5121command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005122
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005123Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5124TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005289More About U-Boot Image Types:
5290------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005291
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005292U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005293
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005294 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5295 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5296 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5297 the Standalone Program.
5298 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5299 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5300 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5301 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5302 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5303 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5304 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5305 being started.
5306 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5307 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5308 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5309 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5310 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5311 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005312
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005313 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5314 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5315 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5316 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5317 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5318 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005319
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005320 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5321 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5322 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005323
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005324 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5325 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5326 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5327 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005328
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005329Booting the Linux zImage:
5330-------------------------
5331
5332On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5333using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5334as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5335
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005336Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005337kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5338address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5339format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5343=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005344
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005345One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5346run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5347U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005348
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005349Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005353
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005354'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5355application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5356It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5357like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005383Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5384handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5385Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5386The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5387character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5388controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005389
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005390 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5391 b - enable interrupts and start timer

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005433Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5434"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5435consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5436Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5437especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
Karl O. Pinca0189bb2012-10-01 05:11:56 +00005438use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See

5452=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005453
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005454Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5455(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005456
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005457Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5458NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5459need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5460Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5461attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5462missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005463
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005464 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5465 # mkdir powerpc
5466 # ln -s powerpc machine
5467 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5468 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005469
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005470Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5471and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005472
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005473Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5474stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5475proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5476tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005483The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5484implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5485inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5486hardware.

5490---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005491
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005492The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5493starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5494system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5495This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5496is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5497at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5498options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5499models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5500MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5501locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005511 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5512 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5513 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5514 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5515 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005517 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5518 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005520 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5521 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005522 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005523 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5524 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5525 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5526 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005527
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005528 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005529 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5530 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005531 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005532 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5533 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5534 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5535 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5536 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005541It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5542code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005543
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005544* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5545 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005546
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005547* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005548 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5549 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005550
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005551* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5552 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005553
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005554Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5555normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5556turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5557simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5558functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5559functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5560the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5561place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5562reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005563
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005564When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5565relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5566GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005567
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005568For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5569 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005570 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005571 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5572 R5-R10: parameter passing
5573 R13: small data area pointer
5574 R30: GOT pointer
5575 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005576
Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005577 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5578 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5579 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005582
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005583 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5584 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5585 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5586 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5587 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5588 624 text + 127 data).

5616 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5617 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005633NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5634or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005636Memory Management:
5637------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005638
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005639U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5640MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005641
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005642The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5643controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5644memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5645physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005646
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005647U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5648TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5649booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5650to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005651memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005652configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5653Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005654
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005655Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5656of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005657
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005658So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5659this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005660
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005661 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

5678 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005681System Initialization:
5682----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005683
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005684In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005685(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005686configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5687To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5688To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5689initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5690which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5691part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5692the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005693
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005694Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5695preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5696(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5697on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5698programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5699simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5700banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005701
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005702When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5703different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5704bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
57050x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5706contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005707
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005708Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5709and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5710Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5711pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005712
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005713Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5714until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5715running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5716new address in RAM.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005793Coding Standards:
5794-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005795
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005796All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005797coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005798"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005799
5800Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5801MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5802reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5803sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005804
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005805Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5806Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5807in your code.
wdenkad276f22004-01-04 16:28:35 +00005808
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005809Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5810- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005811- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005812- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005813- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005814- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005815
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005816Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5817with a request to reformat the changes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005820Submitting Patches:
5821-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005822
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005823Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5824establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5825may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005826
Magnus Liljaf3b287b2008-08-06 19:32:33 +02005827Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005828
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005829Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5830see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5831
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005832When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5833it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005834
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005835* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5836 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5837 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005838
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005839* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5840 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005841
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005842* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005843
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005844* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005845
Albert ARIBAUD48e910f2013-09-11 15:52:51 +02005846* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
5847 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005848
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005849* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5850 document these in the README file.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005851
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005852* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5853 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005854 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005855 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5856 with some other mail clients.
wdenkca9bc762003-07-15 07:45:49 +00005857
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005858 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5859 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5860 GNU diff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005861
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005862 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5863 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5864 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5865 affected files).
5866
5867 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5868 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005869
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005870* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5871 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00005872
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005873* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5874 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005875

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005877Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005878
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005879* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5880 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5881 for any of the boards.
5882
5883* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5884 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5885 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005886
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005887* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5888 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5889 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5890 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5891 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5892 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00005893
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005894* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5895 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5896 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5897 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
