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.

30Status:
31=======
32
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 +0000226Software Configuration:
227=======================
228
229Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
230rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
231
232There are two classes of configuration variables:
233
234* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
235 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
236 "CONFIG_".
237
238* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
239 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
240 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200241 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000242
243Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
244identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
245do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
246links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
247as an example here.
248
249
250Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
251---------------------------------------------------
252
253For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200254configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000255
256Example: For a TQM823L module type:
257
258 cd u-boot
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200259 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000260
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200261For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200262e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000263directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
264
265
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600266Sandbox Environment:
267--------------------
268
269U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
270board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
271specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
272run some of U-Boot's tests.
273
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki287314f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530274See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600275
276
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000277Configuration Options:
278----------------------
279
280Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
281such information is kept in a configuration file
282"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
283
284Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
285"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
286
287
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000288Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
289kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
290build a config tool - later.
291
292
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000293The following options need to be configured:

Simon Glass9fa901b2014-11-10 17:16:54 -0700625- Driver Model
626 Driver model is a new framework for devices in U-Boot
627 introduced in early 2014. U-Boot is being progressively
628 moved over to this. It offers a consistent device structure,
629 supports grouping devices into classes and has built-in
630 handling of platform data and device tree.
631
632 To enable transition to driver model in a relatively
633 painful fashion, each subsystem can be independently
634 switched between the legacy/ad-hoc approach and the new
635 driver model using the options below. Also, many uclass
636 interfaces include compatibility features which may be
637 removed once the conversion of that subsystem is complete.
638 As a result, the API provided by the subsystem may in fact
639 not change with driver model.
640
641 See doc/driver-model/README.txt for more information.
642
643 CONFIG_DM
644
645 Enable driver model. This brings in the core support,
646 including scanning of platform data on start-up. If
647 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is enabled, the device tree will be
648 scanned also when available.
649
650 CONFIG_CMD_DM
651
652 Enable driver model test commands. These allow you to print
653 out the driver model tree and the uclasses.
654
655 CONFIG_DM_DEMO
656
657 Enable some demo devices and the 'demo' command. These are
658 really only useful for playing around while trying to
659 understand driver model in sandbox.
660
661 CONFIG_SPL_DM
662
663 Enable driver model in SPL. You will need to provide a
664 suitable malloc() implementation. If you are not using the
665 full malloc() enabled by CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START,
666 consider using CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE. In that case you
667 must provide CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to set the size.
668 In most cases driver model will only allocate a few uclasses
669 and devices in SPL, so 1KB should be enable. See
670 CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN for more details on how to enable
671 it.
672
673 CONFIG_DM_SERIAL
674
675 Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
676 drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
677 implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
678 defined in include/serial.h.
679
680 CONFIG_DM_GPIO
681
682 Enable driver model for GPIO access. The standard GPIO
683 interface (gpio_get_value(), etc.) is then implemented by
684 the GPIO uclass. Drivers provide methods to query the
685 particular GPIOs that they provide. The uclass interface
686 is defined in include/asm-generic/gpio.h.
687
688 CONFIG_DM_SPI
689
690 Enable driver model for SPI. The SPI slave interface
691 (spi_setup_slave(), spi_xfer(), etc.) is then implemented by
692 the SPI uclass. Drivers provide methods to access the SPI
693 buses that they control. The uclass interface is defined in
694 include/spi.h. The existing spi_slave structure is attached
695 as 'parent data' to every slave on each bus. Slaves
696 typically use driver-private data instead of extending the
697 spi_slave structure.
698
699 CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH
700
701 Enable driver model for SPI flash. This SPI flash interface
702 (spi_flash_probe(), spi_flash_write(), etc.) is then
703 implemented by the SPI flash uclass. There is one standard
704 SPI flash driver which knows how to probe most chips
705 supported by U-Boot. The uclass interface is defined in
706 include/spi_flash.h, but is currently fully compatible
707 with the old interface to avoid confusion and duplication
708 during the transition parent. SPI and SPI flash must be
709 enabled together (it is not possible to use driver model
710 for one and not the other).
711
712 CONFIG_DM_CROS_EC
713
714 Enable driver model for the Chrome OS EC interface. This
715 allows the cros_ec SPI driver to operate with CONFIG_DM_SPI
716 but otherwise makes few changes. Since cros_ec also supports
717 I2C and LPC (which don't support driver model yet), a full
718 conversion is not yet possible.
719
720
721 ** Code size options: The following options are enabled by
722 default except in SPL. Enable them explicitly to get these
723 features in SPL.
724
725 CONFIG_DM_WARN
726
727 Enable the dm_warn() function. This can use up quite a bit
728 of space for its strings.
729
730 CONFIG_DM_STDIO
731
732 Enable registering a serial device with the stdio library.
733
734 CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE
735
736 Enable removing of devices.
737

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000740 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
741
742 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
743 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
744 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
745 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
746 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
747 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
748 Linux kernel.

wdenk9b7f3842003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000753 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
754
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -0800755 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
wdenk9b7f3842003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000756 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
757 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.

Gerald Van Barenfcd91bb2008-06-03 20:34:45 -0400759 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
Wolfgang Denk27a5b0b2005-10-13 01:45:54 +0200760
761 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400762 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
763 concepts).
764
765 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
766 * New libfdt-based support
767 * Adds the "fdt" command
Kim Phillips9b46eb62007-08-10 14:34:14 -0500768 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200777 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
778 addresses
Kim Phillips9b46eb62007-08-10 14:34:14 -0500779
Kumar Gala1e26aa52006-01-11 13:54:17 -0600780 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
781
782 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
783 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000784
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600785 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
786
787 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
788 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
789 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
790 the kernel.
791
Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500792 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
793
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200794 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500795 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
796
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200797 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
798
799 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
800 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
801 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
802 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
803 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
804 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
805
Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000806 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
807
808 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
809 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
810 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
811 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
812 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
813 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
814 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
815
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100816- vxWorks boot parameters:
817
818 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
819 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
820 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
821
822 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
823 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
824 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
825 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
826
827 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
828
829 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
830
831 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
832 the defaults discussed just above.
833
Aneesh V960f5c02011-06-16 23:30:47 +0000834- Cache Configuration:
835 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot

wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000845- Serial Ports:
Andreas Engel0813b122008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200846 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000847
848 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
849
Andreas Engel0813b122008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200850 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000851
852 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
853
854 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
855
856 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
857 the clock speed of the UARTs.
858
859 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
860
861 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
862 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
863 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
864
John Rigby34e21ee2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000865 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
866
867 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
868 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
869 this variable to initialize the extra register.
870
871 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
872
873 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
874 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
875 variable to flush the UART at init time.
876
Karicheri, Muralidharancbc08882014-04-09 15:38:46 -0400877 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
878
879 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
880 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000881
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000882- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000883 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
884 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
885 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
886 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000887
888 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
889 port routines must be defined elsewhere
890 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
891
892 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
893 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following

Pali Rohár4a57da32012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000931 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
932 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
933 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
934
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000935 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
936 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
937 environment 'console=serial'.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000938
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000939 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
940 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
941 the "silent" environment variable. See
942 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenk3da587e2003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000943
Heiko Schocher62759562013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200944 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
945 is 0x00.
946 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
947 is 0xa0.
948
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000949- Console Baudrate:
950 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
951 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200952 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
953 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100955- Console Rx buffer length
956 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
957 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100958 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100959 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
960 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
961 the SMC.
962
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000963- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200964 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
965 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
966 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
967 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
968 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
969 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
970 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200971 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200972 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000973
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200974 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
975 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000976
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000977- Safe printf() functions
978 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
979 the printf() functions. These are defined in
980 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
981 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
982 If this option is not given then these functions will
983 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
984 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
985
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000986- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
987 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
988 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000989 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
990 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000991
992 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
993 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
994 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
995 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
996 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
997 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
998 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
999 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
1000 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
1001 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
1002 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
1003 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
1004
1005- Autoboot Command:
1006 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
1007 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
1008 define a command string that is automatically executed
1009 when no character is read on the console interface
1010 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
1011
1012 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001013 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
1014 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
1015 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001016
1017 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001018 The value of these goes into the environment as
1019 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
1020 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001021 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001022
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +01001023- Bootcount:
1024 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1025 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
1026 cycle, see:
1027 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
1028
1029 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
1030 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1031 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1032 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1033 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1034 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1035 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1036 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1037 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1038
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001039- Pre-Boot Commands:
1040 CONFIG_PREBOOT
1041
1042 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1043 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1044 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1045 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1046 entering interactive mode.
1047
1048 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1049 automatically generated or modified. For an example
1050 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1051 modified when the user holds down a certain
1052 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1053 booting the systems
1054
1055- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1056 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1057 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1058 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1059 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1060 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1061 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1062 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1063
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001064- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001065 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
1066 Select one of the baudrates listed in

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001068
1069- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001070 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1071 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +00001072 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
1073 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001074 and augmenting with additional #define's
1075 for wanted commands.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001196
1197 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001198 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001199 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1200 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1201 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1202 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1203 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1204 initial stack and some data.

1207 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1208
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001209- Regular expression support:
1210 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001211 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1212 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1213 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1214 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001215
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001216- Device tree:
1217 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1218 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1219 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1220 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1221 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1222 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1223
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001224 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1225 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001226
1227 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1228 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1229 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1230 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1231 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1232 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001233
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001234 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1235 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1236 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1237 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1238
1239 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1240
1241 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1242 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1243 still use the individual files if you need something more
1244 exotic.
1245
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001246- Watchdog:
1247 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1248 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001249 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1250 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1251 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1252 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1253 available, then no further board specific code should
1254 be needed to use it.
1255
1256 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1257 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1258 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1259 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001260
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001261- U-Boot Version:
1262 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1263 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1264 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1265 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001266 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1267 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001268
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001269- Real-Time Clock:
1270
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001271 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001272 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1273 following options:
1274
1275 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1276 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001277 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001280 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001281 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel90491f22014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001282 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenkef5fe752003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001283 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001286 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001287 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1288 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001289
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001290 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1291 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1292
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001293- GPIO Support:
1294 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001295
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001296 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1297 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1298 pins supported by a particular chip.
1299
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001300 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1301 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1302
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001303- I/O tracing:
1304 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1305 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1306 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1307 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1308 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1309 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1310 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1311 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1312
1313 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1314 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1315 still continue to operate.
1316
1317 iotrace is enabled
1318 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1319 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1320 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1321 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1322 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1323 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1324
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001325- Timestamp Support:
1326
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001327 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1328 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1329 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001330 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001331
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001332- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1333 Zero or more of the following:
1334 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1335 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the

Igor Grinbergac5f6ee2011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001655- ULPI Layer Support:
1656 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1657 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1658 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1659 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1660 viewport is supported.
1661 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1662 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001663 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1664 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1665 the appropriate value in Hz.

Heiko Schochera2f831e2013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001716 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1717 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1718 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1719 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1720 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1721
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001722 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1723 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1724 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1725 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1726 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1727 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1728
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001729 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1730 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1731 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1732 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1733
1734 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1735 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1736 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1737 sending again an USB request to the device.

1763 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1764 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1765
1766 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1767 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1768 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1769 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1770
Steve Rae7d059342014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001771 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1772 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1773 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1774 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1775 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1776 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1777 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1778 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.

2000 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
2001 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini958a8f82014-02-25 10:27:01 -05002002 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00002003 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
2004 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
2005 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
2006 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
2007 there is no need to set this option.
2008
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02002009 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2010
2011 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2012 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2013 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2014 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2015 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2016 specify 'm' for centering the image.
2017
2018 Example:
2019 setenv splashpos m,m
2020 => image at center of screen
2021
2022 setenv splashpos 30,20
2023 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
2024
2025 setenv splashpos -10,m
2026 => vertically centered image
2027 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
2028
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02002029- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2030
2031 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2032 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2033 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2034
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01002035- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2036
2037 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2038 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2039 bmp command.
2040
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002041- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00002042 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2043
2044 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2045 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2046
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002047- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002048 CONFIG_GZIP
2049
2050 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2051
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002052 CONFIG_BZIP2
2053
2054 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2055 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2056 compressed images are supported.
2057
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002058 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002059 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002060 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00002061
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002062 CONFIG_LZMA
2063
2064 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2065 images is included.
2066
2067 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2068 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2069 formula:
2070
2071 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2072
2073 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2074 and Literal pos bits.
2075
2076 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2077 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2078 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2079 a very small buffer.
2080
2081 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2082 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002083 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002084
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002085 CONFIG_LZO
2086
2087 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2088 is included.
2089
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002090- MII/PHY support:
2091 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
2092
2093 The address of PHY on MII bus.
2094
2095 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2096
2097 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2098
2099 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2100
2101 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002102 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002103
2104 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2105
2106 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2107 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2108 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2109 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2110
2111 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2112
2113 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2114 command issued before MII status register can be read

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04002143 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2144
2145 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2146 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2147
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002148- Gateway IP address:
2149 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2150
2151 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2152 default router where packets to other networks are
2153 sent to.
2154 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2155
2156- Subnet mask:
2157 CONFIG_NETMASK
2158
2159 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2160 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2161 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2162 forwarded through a router.
2163 (Environment variable "netmask")
2164
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002165- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2166 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2167
2168 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2169 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002170 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002171 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2172 multicast group.
2173
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002174- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2175 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2176
2177 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2178 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2179 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2180 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2181 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2182 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2183 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2184 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002185 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002186
2187 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2188 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2189 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2190 4th and following
2191 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2192
Thierry Reding8977cda2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002193 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2194
2195 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2196 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2197 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2198 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2199 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2200 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2201 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2202 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2203 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2204 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2205 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2206 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2207 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2208 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2209 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2210
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002211- DHCP Advanced Options:
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002212 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2213 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002228
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002229 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2230 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002231
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002232 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2233 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2234 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2235 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2236 is not available.
2237
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002238 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2239 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2240 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2241 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2242 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2243 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2244 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002245 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002246
2247 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2248 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2249 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002250 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002251 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2252 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002253
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002254 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2255
2256 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2257 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2258 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2259 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2260 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2261 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2262 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2263 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2264 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2265 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2266 this delay.
2267
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002268 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2269 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2270 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2271 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2272 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002318- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2319
2320 Several configurations allow to display the current
2321 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2322 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2323 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2324 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2325 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2326 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2327 feature in U-Boot.
2328
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002329 Additional options:
2330
2331 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2332 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2333 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2334 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2335 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2336
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002337 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2338 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2339 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2340 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2341 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2342 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2343
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002344- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2345
2346 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2347 on those systems that support this (optional)
2348 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2528 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2529 provides the following compelling advantages:
2530
2531 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2532 - approved multibus support
2533 - better i2c mux support
2534
2535 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002536
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002537 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2538 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2539 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002540
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002541 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002542 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002543 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2544 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002545 command line interface.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002547 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002548
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002549 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002550 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002551
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002552 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002553 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002554 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002555 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002556
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002557 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002558 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002559 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2560 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2561 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002562
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002563 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2564
2565 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2566 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2567 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2568 commands until the slave device responds.
2569
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002570 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002571
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002572 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002573 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002575
2576 I2C_INIT

2584
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002585 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2586 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2587 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002588
2589 I2C_ACTIVE
2590
2591 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2592 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002630 I2C_DELAY
2631
2632 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2633 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002634 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002635 like:
2636

2642 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2643 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2644 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2645
2646 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2647 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002650
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002651 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2652 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2653 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2654 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2655 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2656 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2657 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2658 is run early in the boot sequence.

Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002660 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2661
2662 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2663 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2664 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2665 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2666 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2667 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2668 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2669 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2670
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002671 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2672
2673 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2674 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2675 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2676
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002677 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2678
2679 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002680 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2681 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002682 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002685
2686 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002687 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002688 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2689 a 1D array of device addresses

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002694
2695 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus

Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002723 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2724
2725 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2726 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2727 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2728 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2729 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2730 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2731 the other.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002751 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2752 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2753 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2754 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is

Stefan Roese141ed202014-10-22 12:13:24 +02002851 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2852
2853 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2854 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2855 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2856 special image will be automatically built upon calling

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002859 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING

2862 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002863
2864- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2865
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002866 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2867 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002868 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002869 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2870 protects these variables from casual modification by
2871 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2872 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002873 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002874
2875 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2876 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002877 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002878 these parameters.
2879
2880 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2881 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002882 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002883 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2884 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2885 read-only.]
2886
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002887 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2888 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2889 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2890 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2891
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002892- Protected RAM:
2893 CONFIG_PRAM
2894
2895 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2896 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2897 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2898 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2899 this default value by defining an environment
2900 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2901 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2902 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2903 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2904 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2905 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2906 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2907
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002908 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002909 saveenv
2910
2911 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2912 either, which results in a memory region that will
2913 not be affected by reboots.
2914
2915 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2916 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2917 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2918 following board configurations are known to be
2919 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002925- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2926 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2927 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2928 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2929 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2930 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2931 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2932
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002933- Error Recovery:
2934 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2935
2936 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2937 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2938 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002939 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002940 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2941 useful during development since you can try to debug
2942 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2943
2944 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2945
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002946 This variable defines the number of retries for
2947 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2948 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a

wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002964
2965 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2966
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002967 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002968
2969 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2970 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2971 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2972
2973 Note:
2974
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002975 In the current implementation, the local variables
2976 space and global environment variables space are
2977 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2978 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2979 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2980 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2981 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002982
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002983 Global environment variables are those you use
2984 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2985 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2986 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002987
2988 To store commands and special characters in a
2989 variable, please use double quotation marks
2990 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2991 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2992 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003001 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
3002
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003003 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
3004 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003005 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00003006
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003007 For example, place something like this in your
3008 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003009
3010 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
3011 "myvar1=value1\0" \
3012 "myvar2=value2\0"
3013
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003014 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
3015 internal format how the environment is stored by the
3016 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
3017 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003018 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003019 You better know what you are doing here.
3020
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003021 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
3022 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02003023 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003024 boot command first.

Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00003026 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
3027
3028 Define this in order to add variables describing the
3029 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3030 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3031
3032 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3033
3034 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3035 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3036 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3037 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3038 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3039
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00003040 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3041
3042 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3043 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3044 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3045
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003046 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3047
3048 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003049 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003050 that so that the environment is not available until
3051 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3052 this is instead controlled by the value of
3053 /config/load-environment.
3054
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003055- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003056 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3057
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003058 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3059 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3060 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003061
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07003062- Serial Flash support
3063 CONFIG_CMD_SF
3064
3065 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3066 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3067
3068 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3069 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3070 commands.
3071
3072 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3073 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3074 flash is present on the system.
3075
3076 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3077 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
3078 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
3079 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3080
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00003081 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3082
3083 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3084 test ('sf test').
3085
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekic6d173d2013-06-19 15:33:58 +05303086 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
3087
3088 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
3089 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
3090
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303091 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3092
3093 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3094 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003095 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303096
Heiko Schocherd73b7ec2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02003097 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
3098 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
3099 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
3100 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
3101 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
3102 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
3103 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
3104 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
3105 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
3106 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
3107
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003108- SystemACE Support:
3109 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3110
3111 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3112 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003113 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003114 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003115
3116 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003117 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003118
3119 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3120 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3121
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003122- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3123 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3124
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003125 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003126 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003127 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003128 number generator is used.
3129
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003130 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3131 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3132 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3133
3134 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003135 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3136 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3137 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3138 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3139 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3140 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3141
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003142- Hashing support:
3143 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3144
3145 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3146 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3147
3148 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3149
3150 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3151 size a little.
3152
3153 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3154 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3155
3156 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3157 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3158
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003159- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3160 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3161 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3162 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3163
3164 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3165 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3166 a boot from specific media.
3167
3168 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3169 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3170 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3171 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3172 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3173
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003174- Signing support:
3175 CONFIG_RSA
3176
3177 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel49dc73b2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003178 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003179
3180 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3181 option.
3182
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003183- bootcount support:
3184 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3185
3186 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3187 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3188
3189 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3190 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3191 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3192 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3193 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3194 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3195 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3196 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3197 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3198 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3199 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3200 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3201 the bootcounter.
3202 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003203
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003204- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003205 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3206
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003207 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3208 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3209 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3210 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3211 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3212 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003213
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003214- Detailed boot stage timing
3215 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3216 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3217 of the boot process.
3218
3219 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3220 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3221 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3222 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3223 the limit, recording will stop.
3224
3225 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3226 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3227
3228 Timer summary in microseconds:
3229 Mark Elapsed Stage
3230 0 0 reset
3231 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3232 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9

3238
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003239 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3240 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3241 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3242
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003243 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3244 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3245 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3246 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3247 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3248 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3249 For example:
3250
3251 bootstage {
3252 154 {
3253 name = "board_init_f";
3254 mark = <3575678>;
3255 };
3256 170 {
3257 name = "lcd";
3258 accum = <33482>;
3259 };
3260 };
3261
3262 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003459 This option defines a board specific value for the
3460 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus

3470 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3471 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3472 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3473 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3474 configured panel size.

3504 with the UBI flash translation layer
3505
3506 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3507
Joe Hershberger47550fc2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003508 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG

Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003513
3514 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3515 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3516 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3517 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3518 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3519 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3520
3521 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3522 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3523 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3524 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3525 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3526
3527 default: 4096
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003528
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003529 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3530 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3531 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3532 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3533 flash), this value is ignored.
3534
3535 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3536 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3537 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3538 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3539 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3540 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3541
3542 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3543 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3544 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3545 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3546 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3547 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3548 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3549 partition.
3550
3551 default: 20
3552
3553 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3554 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3555 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3556 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3557 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3558 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3559 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3560 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3561 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3562 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3563 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3564 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3565
3566 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3567 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3568 without a fastmap.
3569 default: 0
3570
Joe Hershberger7d80fc12013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003571- UBIFS support

3573
3574 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3575 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3576
3577 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3578
Joe Hershberger47550fc2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003579 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003845- Interrupt support (PPC):
3846
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003847 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3848 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003849 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003850 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003851 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003852 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003853 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003854 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3855 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3856 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003858- General:
3859
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003860 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3861 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3862 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003863 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003864 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3865 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3866 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003867
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003868 If there are no modem init strings in the
3869 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3870 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003871 suppressed, though.

Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003946 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003947 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By

Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003954
3955 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx

Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003993- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3994 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3995 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3996 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3997 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3998 space.
3999
4000 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
4001 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
4002 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004003 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06004004 U-Boot relocates itself.

4013
Thierry Redingc97d9742014-12-09 22:25:22 -07004014- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
4015 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
4016 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
4017 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
4018 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
4019 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
4020 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
4021 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
4022 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
4023 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
4024 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
4025 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
4026 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
4027 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
4028 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
4029 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
4030
4031 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
4032
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004033- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01004034 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
4035 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004036 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01004037 to adjust this setting to your needs.
4038
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004039- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:

Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04004044 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004045 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004046 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004087
4088 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4089 without this option such a download has to be
4090 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4091 copy from RAM to flash.
4092
4093 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4094 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004095 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4096 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the

4195 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4196 access flags.
4197
Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00004198- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4199 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4200 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4201 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4202 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4203 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4204 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4205 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4206 your board please report the problem and send patches!

Lokesh Vutla100c2d82013-04-17 20:49:40 +00004208- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4209 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4210 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004211 the value can be calculated on a given board.

Gabe Black3687fe42014-10-15 04:38:30 -06004213- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4214 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4215 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4216 building U-Boot to enable this.
4217
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004218The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4219of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4220following configurations:
4221
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004222- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4223
4224 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4225 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4226
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004227- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004228
4229 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4230
4231 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4232 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4233 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4234 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4235 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4236 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4237 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4238 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4239 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4240 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4241 between U-Boot and the environment.
4242
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004243 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004244
4245 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4246 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4247 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4248 for this sector is given here.
4249
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004250 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004251
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004252 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004253
4254 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4255 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004256 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004257
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004258 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004259
4260 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4261
4262
4263 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4264 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4265 the environment.
4266
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004267 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004268
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004269 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004270 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004271 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4272 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4273
4274 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4275 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4276 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4277 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4278 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4279 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4280 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4281 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4282 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4283
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004284 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4285 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004286
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004287 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004288 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004289 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004290 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004291
4292BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4293source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4294accordingly!
4295
4296
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004297- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004298
4299 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4300 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4301 environment.
4302
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004303 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4304 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004305
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004306 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004307 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4308 can just be read and written to, without any special
4309 provision.
4310
4311BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004312in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004313console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004314U-Boot will hang.
4315
4316Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4317environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4318keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4319to save the current settings.
4320
4321
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004322- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004323
4324 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4325 device and a driver for it.
4326
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004327 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4328 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004329
4330 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4331 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4332
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004333 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004334 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4335 The default address is zero.
4336
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004337 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004338 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4339 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4340 would require six bits.
4341
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004342 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004343 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004344 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004345
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004346 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004347 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4348 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4349
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004350 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004351 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4352 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4353 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4354 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4355 byte chips.
4356
4357 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4358 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4359 in the chip address.
4360
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004361 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004362 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4363
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004364 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4365 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4366 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4367
4368 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4369 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4370 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4371 EEPROM. For example:
4372
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004373 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004374
4375 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4376 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004377
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD2b14d2b2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02004378- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004379
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00004380 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004381 want to use for the environment.
4382
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004383 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4384 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4385 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004386
4387 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4388 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4389 at the specified address.
4390
Wu, Josh76db7bf2014-07-01 19:30:13 +08004391- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4392
4393 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4394 want to use for the environment.
4395
4396 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4397 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4398
4399 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4400 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4401 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4402
4403 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4404
4405 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4406
4407 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4408
4409 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4410 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4411 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4412 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4413 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4414
4415 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4416 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4417
4418 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4419
4420 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4421
4422 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4423
4424 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4425
4426 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4427
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004428- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4429
4430 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4431 want to use for the local device's environment.
4432
4433 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4434 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4435
4436 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4437 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4438 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004439 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004440
4441BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4442"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004443environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4444but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDdda84dd2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02004446- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004447
4448 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4449 for the environment.
4450
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004451 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4452 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004453
4454 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004455 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4456 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004460 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004461 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4462 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004463 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004464 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4465
4466 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4467
4468 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4469 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4470 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4471 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4472 the range to be avoided.
4473
4474 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004475
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004476 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4477 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4478 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4479 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4480 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004481
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004482- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4483
4484 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4485 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4486 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4487
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004488- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4489
4490 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4491 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4492 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4493
4494 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4495
4496 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4497
4498 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4499
4500 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4501 environment in.
4502
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004503 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4504
4505 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4506 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4507 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4508
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004509 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4510 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4511
4512 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4513 when storing the env in UBI.
4514
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004515- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4516 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4517
4518 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4519
4520 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4521
4522 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4523
4524 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4525 be as following:
4526
4527 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4528 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4529 partition table.
4530 - "D:0": device D.
4531 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4532 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4533 table.
4534 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004535 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004536 partition table then means device D.
4537
4538 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4539
4540 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004541 environment.
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004542
4543 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004544 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004545
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004546- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4547
4548 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4549 environment.
4550
4551 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4552
4553 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4554
4555 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4556
4557 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4558 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4559 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4560
4561 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4562 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4563
4564 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4565 area within the specified MMC device.
4566
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004567 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4568 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4569 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4570 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4571 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4572 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4573 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4574
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004575 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4576 MMC sector boundary.
4577
4578 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4579
4580 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4581 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4582 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4583 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4584
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004585 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4586 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4587
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004588 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4589 an MMC sector boundary.
4590
4591 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4592
4593 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4594 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4595 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4596
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004597- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004598
4599 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4600 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4601 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4602 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4603 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4604 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4605 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4606
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004607Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004608has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004609created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004610until then to read environment variables.
4611
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004612The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4613is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4614with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4615necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4616"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4617have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004618
4619Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4620the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004621use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004626 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004627 also needs to be defined.
4628
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004629- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004632- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4633 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4634 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4635 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4636 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4637 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4638
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004639- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4640 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4641 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4642 to do this.
4643
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004644- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4645 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4646 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4647 present.
4648
Sascha Silbe4b9c17c2013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004649- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:

4651 build system checks that the actual size does not
4652 exceed it.

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004662
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004663 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4664 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004667- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4668 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4669 PowerPC SOCs.
4670
4671- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4672 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4673 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4674
4675 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4676 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4677
4678- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4679 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4680 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004681 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004682 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4683 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4684 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4685
4686 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4687 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4688
4689- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004690 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4691 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004692 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4693 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4694
4695- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4696 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4697 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4698 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4699
4700- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4701 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4702 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004916- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4917 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4918
4919- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4920 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004921 to the given FEC; i. e.
4922 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004923 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4924
4925 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4926
4927- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4928 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4929 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4930
4931- CONFIG_RMII
4932 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4933 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4934 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.

Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004965 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004966 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4967 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4968 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004969
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004970 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4971 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4972 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4973 these initializations itself.

4987 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4988 previous 4k of the .text section.
4989
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004990- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4991 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4992 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4993 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4994 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4995 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4996 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4997 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4998
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004999- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
5000 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
5001 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
5002 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
5003 conditions but may increase the binary size.
5004
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00005005- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
5006 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
5007 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

5025The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
5026loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
5027This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5028are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5029within that device.

5039 is also specified.
5040
5041- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5042 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5043 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5044 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5045 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5046
5047- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5048 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5049 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5050 virtual address in NOR flash.

5072---------------------------------------------------------
5073The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5074"firmware".
5075This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5076are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5077within that device.

5080 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5081
5082- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5083 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
5084 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5085 is also specified.
5086
5087- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5088 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5089 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5090 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5091 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5092
5093- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5094 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005101Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5102and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5103all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5104(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5105recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5106which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005108If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5109have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5110you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5111Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5112necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005113
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005114 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5115 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005116
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05005117Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5118 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5119 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5120 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5121
5122 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5123
5124 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5125 be executed on computers running Windows.
5126
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005127U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5128sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005129is done by typing:
5130
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005131 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005132
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005133where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005134rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00005135
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005136Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5137 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5138 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5139 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005140 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005141
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005142 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005143 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005144
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005145 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005146 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005147
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005148 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005149
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005150
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005151Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5152images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005153
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005154- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5155- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5156- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005157
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005158By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5159in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5160this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5161
51621. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5163
5164 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005165 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005166 make O=/tmp/build all
5167
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +020051682. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005169
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005170 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005171 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005172 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005173 make all
5174
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005175Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005176variable.
5177
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005178
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005179Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5180for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5181native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005182
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005183
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005184If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5185to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5186steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005187
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051881. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005189 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5190 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051912. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5192 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5193 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
51943. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5195 your board
51963. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5197 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020051984. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051995. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5200 to be installed on your target system.
52016. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5202 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005205Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5206==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005207
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005208If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5209or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005210provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5211the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005212official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005213
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005214But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5215cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005216the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5217just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005218for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5219select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5220environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5221you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005222
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005223 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005224
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005225or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005226
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005227 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005228
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005229When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5230U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5231setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5232built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5233<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5234location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5235variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005236
5237 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5238 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5239 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5240
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005241With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5242log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5243during the whole build process.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005306Environment Variables:
5307======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005308
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005309U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5310can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005311
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005312Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5313"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5314without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5315environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5316working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5317environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005331 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005332
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005333 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5334 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5335 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5336 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5337 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5338 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005339 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5340 bootm_mapsize.
5341
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005342 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005343 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5344 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5345 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5346 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5347 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5348 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005349
5350 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5351 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5352 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5353 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5354 environment variable.
5355

5357 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5358 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5359
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005360 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5361 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5362 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5363 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005364
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005365 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5366 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5367 be automatically started (by internally calling
5368 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005369
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005370 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5371 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5372 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5373 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5374 data.

David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005376 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5377 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005378 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5379 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5380 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5381 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5382 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5383 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5384 access it during the boot procedure.
5385
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005386 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5387 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5388 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5389 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5390 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5391 must be accessible by the kernel.
5392
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005393 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5394 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5395 defined.
5396
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005397 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5398 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5399 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5400 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5401 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5402
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005403 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5404 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5405 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5406 is usually what you want since it allows for
5407 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5408 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005409 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005410 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5411 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5412 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5413 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005414
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005415 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5416 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5417 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5418 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5419 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5420 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005421
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005422 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005423
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005424 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5425 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5426 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5427 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5428 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5429 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5430 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005457 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5458 available network interfaces.
5459 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5460
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005461 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005462 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5463 When set to "once" the network operation will
5464 fail when all the available network interfaces
5465 are tried once without success.
5466 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5467 themselves.

Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005471 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005472 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5473 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5474 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5475 is silent.
5476
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005477 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005478 UDP source port.
5479
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005480 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5481 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5482
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005483 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5484 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5485
5486 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5487 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5488 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5489 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5490 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5491 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5492 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5493
5494 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005495 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005498The following image location variables contain the location of images
5499used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5500not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5501variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5502server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5503loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5504flash or offset in NAND flash.
5505
5506*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5507boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5508boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005521 bootfile - see above
5522 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5523 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5524 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5525 hostname - Target hostname
5526 ipaddr - see above
5527 netmask - Subnet Mask
5528 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005532There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005533
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005534 serial# - contains hardware identification information such

5536 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005537
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005538These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5539the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5540once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005541
5542
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005543Further special Environment Variables:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005545 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5546 with the "version" command. This variable is

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005554Callback functions for environment variables:
5555---------------------------------------------
5556
5557For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005558when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005559be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5560deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5561effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5562
5563The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5564U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5565
5566These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5567static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5568in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5569associations. The list must be in the following format:
5570
5571 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5572 list = entry[,list]
5573
5574If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5575Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5576
5577Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5578with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5579override any association in the static list. You can define
5580CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005581".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005587There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5588the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005589
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005590Old, simple command line parser:
5591--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005592
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005593- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5594- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005595- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005596- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5597 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005598 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005599- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5600 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005601

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005605- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5606 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5607 until...do...done, ...
5608- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5609 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5610 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5611 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005612
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005613General rules:
5614--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005615
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005616(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5617 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5618 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5619 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005620
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005621(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005622 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005623 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5624 variables are not executed.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005626Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5627=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005628
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005629Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005630such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5631"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005632
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005633Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5634MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5635"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005636
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005637If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5638in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5639ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5640variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005641
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005642o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5643 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005644
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005645o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5646 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5647 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005648
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005649o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5650 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005651
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005652o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5653 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a

5669images in two formats:
5670
5671New uImage format (FIT)
5672-----------------------
5673
5674Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5675to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5676components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5677SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5678
5679
5680Old uImage format
5681-----------------
5682
5683Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5684preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5685details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005706Linux Support:
5707==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005708
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005709Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5710easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5711U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005712
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005713U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5714special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5715"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5716instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5717serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005718
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005719- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5720 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5721 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005722
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005723- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5724 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005725
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005726- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5727 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5728 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5729 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5730 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5731 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005732
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005733
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005734Linux HOWTO:
5735============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005736
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005737Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5738---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005739
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005740U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5741configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5742(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5743Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005744
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005745But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005746
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005747Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5748include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005749Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5750and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005751as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005752
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005753Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5754If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5755is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5756doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005758
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005759Configuring the Linux kernel:
5760-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005761
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005762No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5763device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005764
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005765
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005766Building a Linux Image:
5767-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005768
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005769With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5770not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5771"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5772U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5773which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5774100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005775
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005776Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005777
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005778 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005779 make oldconfig
5780 make dep
5781 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005782
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005783The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5784encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5785CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005786
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005787* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005788
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005789* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005790
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005791 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5792 -R .note -R .comment \
5793 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005794
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005795* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005796
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005797 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005798
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005799* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005800
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005801 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5802 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5803 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005804
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005805
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005806The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5807with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5808combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5809byte header containing information about target architecture,
5810operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5811stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005812
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005813"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5814print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005815
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005816In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5817contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5818checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005819
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005820 tools/mkimage -l image
5821 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005822
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005823The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5824from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005825
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005826 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5827 -n name -d data_file image
5828 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5829 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5830 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5831 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5832 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5833 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5834 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5835 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005836
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005837Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5838address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5839kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005840
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005841- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5842- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005843
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005844So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005845

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005911To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5912you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005913
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005914 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005915
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005916The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5917image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5918address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5919specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5920command.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006088More About U-Boot Image Types:
6089------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006090
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006091U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006092
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006093 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6094 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6095 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6096 the Standalone Program.
6097 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6098 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6099 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6100 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6101 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6102 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6103 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6104 being started.
6105 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6106 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6107 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6108 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6109 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6110 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006111
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006112 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6113 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6114 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6115 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6116 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6117 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006118
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006119 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6120 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6121 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006122
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006123 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6124 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6125 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6126 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006127
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00006128Booting the Linux zImage:
6129-------------------------
6130
6131On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6132using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6133as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6134
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04006135Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00006136kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6137address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6138format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

6142=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006143
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006144One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6145run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6146U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006147

6154application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6155It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6156like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006182Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6183handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6184Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6185The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6186character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6187controlled by the following keys:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006232Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6233"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6234consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006252
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006253Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6254(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006255
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006256Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6257NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6258need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6259Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6260attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6261missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006262
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006263 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6264 # mkdir powerpc
6265 # ln -s powerpc machine
6266 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6267 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006268
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006269Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6270and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006271
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006272Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6273stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6274proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6275tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6280=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006281
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006282The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6283implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6284inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6285hardware.

6289---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006290
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006291The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6292starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6293system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6294This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6295is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6296at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6297options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6298models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6299MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6300locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006302 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006310 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6311 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6312 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6313 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6314 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006315 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006316 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6317 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006319 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6320 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006321 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006322 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6323 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6324 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6325 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006326
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006327 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006328 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6329 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006330 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006331 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6332 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6333 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6334 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6335 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006340It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6341code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006342
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006343* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6344 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006345
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006346* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006347 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6348 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006349
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006350* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6351 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006352
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006353Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006354normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006355turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6356simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6357functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6358functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6359the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6360place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6361reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006362
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006363When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6364relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6365GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006366
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006367For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6368 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006369 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006370 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6371 R5-R10: parameter passing
6372 R13: small data area pointer
6373 R30: GOT pointer
6374 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006376 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6377 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6378 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006382 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6383 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6384 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6385 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6386 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6387 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006435Memory Management:
6436------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006437
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006438U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6439MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006440
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006441The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6442controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6443memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6444physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006445
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006446U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6447TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6448booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6449to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006450memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006451configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6452Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006453
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006454Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6455of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006456
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006457So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006480System Initialization:
6481----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006482
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006483In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006484(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006485configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006486To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6487To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6488initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6489which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6490part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6491the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006492
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006493Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6494preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6495(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6496on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6497programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6498simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6499banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006500
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006501When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6502different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6503bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
65040x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6505contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006506
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006507Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6508and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6509Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6510pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006511
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006512Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6513until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6514running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6515new address in RAM.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006608Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6609- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006610- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006611- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006612- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006613- do not add trailing empty lines to source files

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006633
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006634* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6635 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6636 patch actually fixes something.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006641* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006642
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006643* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006651* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6652 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006653 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006654 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6655 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006657 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6658 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6659 GNU diff.

6662 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6663 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6664 affected files).
6665
6666 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6667 and compressed attachments must not be used.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006676Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006677
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006678* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6679 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6680 for any of the boards.
6681
6682* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6683 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6684 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006685
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006686* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6687 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6688 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6689 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6690 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6691 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006692
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006693* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6694 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6695 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6696 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
