6Summary:

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00009This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
wdenkce4832c2004-10-17 21:12:06 +000010Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
11processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
12initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
13code.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000014
15The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000016the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
17header files in common, and special provision has been made to
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000018support booting of Linux images.
19
20Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
21configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
22implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
23add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
24code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
25load and run it dynamically.

31In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000032Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000033"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -050035In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
36the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
37scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
38companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000168Software Configuration:
169=======================
170
171Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
172rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
173
174There are two classes of configuration variables:
175
176* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
177 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
178 "CONFIG_".
179
180* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
181 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
182 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200183 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000184
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500185Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
186symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
187U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
188allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
189build.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000190
191
192Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
193---------------------------------------------------
194
195For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200196configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000197
198Example: For a TQM823L module type:
199
200 cd u-boot
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200201 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000202
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500203Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
204you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
205doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000206
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600207Sandbox Environment:
208--------------------
209
210U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
211board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
212specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
213run some of U-Boot's tests.
214
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki287314f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530215See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.

217
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700218Board Initialisation Flow:
219--------------------------
220
221This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500222SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
223
224Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
225more detail later in this file.
226
227At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
228and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
229may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
230CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700231
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500232Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
233CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
234
235 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
236 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
237 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
238
239and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
240limitations of each of these functions are described below.
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700241
242lowlevel_init():
243 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
244 - no global_data or BSS
245 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
246 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
247 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
248 board_init_f()
249 - this is almost never needed
250 - return normally from this function
251
252board_init_f():
253 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
254 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
255 - global_data is available
256 - stack is in SRAM
257 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
258 only stack variables and global_data
259
260 Non-SPL-specific notes:
261 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
262 can do nothing
263
264 SPL-specific notes:
265 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
266 version as needed.
267 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
268 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
269 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
270 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
271 directly)
272
273Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
274this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
275CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
276memory.
277
278board_init_r():
279 - purpose: main execution, common code
280 - global_data is available
281 - SDRAM is available
282 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
283 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
284
285 Non-SPL-specific notes:
286 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
287 there.
288
289 SPL-specific notes:
290 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
291 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
292 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
Ley Foon Tan48fcc4a2017-05-03 17:13:32 +0800293 done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700294 spl_board_init() function containing this call
295 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
296

298
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000299Configuration Options:
300----------------------
301
302Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
303such information is kept in a configuration file
304"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
305
306Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
307"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
308
309
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000310Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
311kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
312build a config tool - later.

579
580 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
581 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
582 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the

628 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
629 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
630 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
631 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
632 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
633 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

714 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
715 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
716 entering interactive mode.
717
718 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
719 automatically generated or modified. For an example
720 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
721 modified when the user holds down a certain
722 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
723 booting the systems
724
725- Serial Download Echo Mode:
726 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
727 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
728 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
729 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
730 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
731 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
732 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
733
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500734- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000735 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
736 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200737 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000738
Simon Glassaa34ef22016-03-13 19:07:28 -0600739- Removal of commands
740 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
741 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
742 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
743 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
744 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
745 simple boot procedures.
746
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000747- Regular expression support:
748 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +0200749 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
750 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
751 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
752 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000753
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000754- Device tree:
755 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
756 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
757 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
758 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
759 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
760 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
761
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000762 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
Alex Deymo5b661ec2017-04-02 01:25:20 -0700763 be done using one of the three options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +0000764
765 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
766 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
767 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
768 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
769 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
Nobuhiro Iwamatsu1f17f192017-08-26 07:34:14 +0900770 the global data structure as gd->fdt_blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000771
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000772 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
773 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
774 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
775 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
776
777 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
778
779 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
780 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
781 still use the individual files if you need something more
782 exotic.
783
Alex Deymo5b661ec2017-04-02 01:25:20 -0700784 CONFIG_OF_BOARD
785 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree
786 provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with
787 the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support
788 this option (see include/fdtdec.h file).
789
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000790- Watchdog:
791 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
792 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000793 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
Christophe Leroy069fa832017-07-06 10:23:22 +0200794 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx
795 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
796 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
797 available, then no further board specific code should
798 be needed to use it.
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000799
800 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
801 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
802 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
803 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000804
Heiko Schocher735326c2015-01-21 08:38:22 +0100805 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
806 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
807
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000808- Real-Time Clock:
809
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500810 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000811 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
812 following options:
813
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000814 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +0000815 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

wdenk1fe2c702003-03-06 21:55:29 +0000817 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000818 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +0000819 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel90491f22014-07-21 11:06:16 +0200820 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenkef5fe752003-03-12 10:41:04 +0000821 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krillb27939b2008-03-15 15:40:26 +0100822 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenkaeba06f2004-06-09 17:34:58 +0000823 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Chris Packham2d3ac512017-05-30 12:03:33 +1200824 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +0200825 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
826 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000827
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +0000828 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
829 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
830
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -0600831- GPIO Support:
832 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -0600833
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +0000834 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
835 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
836 pins supported by a particular chip.
837
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -0600838 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
839 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
840
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -0600841- I/O tracing:
842 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
843 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
844 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
845 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
846 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
847 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
848 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
849 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
850
851 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
852 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
853 still continue to operate.
854
855 iotrace is enabled
856 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
857 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
858 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
859 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
860 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
861 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
862
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000863- Timestamp Support:
864
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000865 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
866 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
867 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500868 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000869
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +0000870- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
871 Zero or more of the following:
872 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.

875 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
876 disk/part_efi.c
877 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000878
Simon Glassb569a012017-05-17 03:25:30 -0600879 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_IDE or
Simon Glass8706b812016-05-01 11:36:02 -0600880 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +0000881 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000882
883- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +0000884 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
885 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000886
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +0000887 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
888 be performed by calling the function
889 ide_set_reset(int reset)
890 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000891

wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +0000902 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
903 support disks up to 2.1TB.
904
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200905 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +0000906 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.

Vadim Bendeburydac69642011-10-17 08:36:14 +00001043 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device
1044 per system is supported at this time.
1045
1046 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS
1047 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped
1048 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at
1049 0xfed40000.
1050
Reinhard Pfau4fece432013-06-26 15:55:13 +02001051 CONFIG_TPM

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001060- USB Support:
1061 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
Heiko Schocher6f90e582017-06-14 05:49:40 +02001062 supported (PIP405, MIP405); define
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001063 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1064 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
wdenkfb30b4c2004-10-09 22:44:59 +00001065 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001066 storage devices.
1067 Note:
1068 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1069 (TEAC FD-05PUB).
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001070
Simon Glass5978cdb2012-02-27 10:52:47 +00001071 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
1072 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.

1075 HW module registers.
1076
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001077- USB Device:
1078 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1079 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1080 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001081 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001082 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1083 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001084 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001085 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1086 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1087 a Linux host by
1088 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1089 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1090 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1091 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001092
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001093 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1094 Define this to build a UDC device
1095
1096 CONFIG_USB_TTY
1097 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1098 talk to the UDC device
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001099
Vipin KUMARbdb17702012-03-26 15:38:06 +05301100 CONFIG_USBD_HS
1101 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1102 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1103 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1104 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1105 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1106 speed.
1107
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001108 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001109 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1110 be set to usbtty.
1111
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001112 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001113 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001114 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001115 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1116 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1117 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1118
1119 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1120 Define this string as the name of your company for
1121 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001122
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001123 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1124 Define this string as the name of your product
1125 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001126
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001127 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1128 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1129 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1130 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1131 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001132
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001133 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1134 Define this as the unique Product ID
1135 for your device
1136 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001137
Igor Grinbergac5f6ee2011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001138- ULPI Layer Support:
1139 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1140 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1141 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1142 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1143 viewport is supported.
1144 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1145 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001146 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1147 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1148 the appropriate value in Hz.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001149
wdenk7a428cc2003-06-15 22:40:42 +00001150- MMC Support:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001151 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1152 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1153 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
wdenk7a428cc2003-06-15 22:40:42 +00001154 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001155 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1156 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
wdenk7a428cc2003-06-15 22:40:42 +00001157
Yoshihiro Shimodadb7717b2011-07-04 22:21:22 +00001158 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF

1164 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1165 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1166
Pierre Aubertbcc302c2014-04-24 10:30:08 +02001167 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1168 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1169
Tom Rini58a8d322013-03-14 05:32:47 +00001170- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
Marek Vasut7f8d4362018-02-16 16:41:18 +01001171 CONFIG_DFU_OVER_USB
Tom Rini58a8d322013-03-14 05:32:47 +00001172 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1173
Tom Rini58a8d322013-03-14 05:32:47 +00001174 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1175 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1176
Pantelis Antonioucf14d0d2013-03-14 05:32:52 +00001177 CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1178 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1179
Afzal Mohammede3c687a2013-09-18 01:15:24 +05301180 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1181 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1182 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1183 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1184 one that would help mostly the developer.
1185
Heiko Schochera2f831e2013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001186 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1187 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1188 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1189 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1190 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1191
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001192 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1193 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1194 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1195 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1196 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1197 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1198
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001199 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1200 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1201 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1202 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1203
1204 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1205 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1206 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1207 sending again an USB request to the device.
1208
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +00001209- Journaling Flash filesystem support:

wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +00001215 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1216
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001217- Keyboard Support:
Simon Glasseaba37e2015-11-11 10:05:47 -07001218 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1219
1220 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1221
1222 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1223 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1224 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1225 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1226 instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001227
1228- Video support:
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001229 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
Wolfgang Denk825223d2011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001230 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001231 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1232 support, and should also define these other macros:
1233
1234 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1235 CONFIG_VIDEO
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001236 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

1240 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1241
Timur Tabi32f709e2011-04-11 14:18:22 -05001242 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1243 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
Fabio Estevamd3ad5e52016-04-02 11:53:18 -03001244 boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
Timur Tabi32f709e2011-04-11 14:18:22 -05001245 description of this variable.

Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001296 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1297
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001298 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001299 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1300 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1301 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1302 a per-section basis.
1303
1304
Hannes Petermaiera3c8e862015-03-27 08:01:38 +01001305 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1306
1307 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1308 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1309 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1310 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1311 printed out.
1312 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1313 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1314 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1315 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1316 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1317 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1318 1 = 90 degree rotation
1319 2 = 180 degree rotation
1320 3 = 270 degree rotation
1321
1322 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1323 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1324
Tom Wai-Hong Tam79926a42012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001325 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1326
1327 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1328
Tom Wai-Hong Tam6664f202012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001329 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1330
1331 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1332 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1333
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001334- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001335
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001336 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1337 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1338 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001339 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001340 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1341 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1342 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1343 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001344
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001345 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1346
1347 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1348 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Fabio Estevama58b4912016-03-23 12:46:12 -03001349 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001350 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1351 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1352 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1353 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1354 there is no need to set this option.
1355
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001356 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1357
1358 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1359 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1360 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1361 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1362 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1363 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1364
1365 Example:
1366 setenv splashpos m,m
1367 => image at center of screen
1368
1369 setenv splashpos 30,20
1370 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1371
1372 setenv splashpos -10,m
1373 => vertically centered image
1374 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1375
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001376- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP

David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001457- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1458 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1459
1460 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1461 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001462 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001463 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1464 multicast group.
1465
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001466- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1467 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1468
1469 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1470 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1471 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1472 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1473 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1474 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1475 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1476 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001477 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001478
1479 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1480 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1481 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1482 4th and following
1483 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1484
Thierry Reding8977cda2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02001485 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1486
1487 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1488 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1489 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1490 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1491 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1492 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1493 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1494 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1495 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1496 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1497 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1498 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1499 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1500 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1501 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001515 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1516 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001517
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001518 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1519 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1520 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1521 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1522 is not available.
1523
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001524 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1525 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1526 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001527 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001528 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1529 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001530
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001531 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1532
1533 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1534 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1535 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1536 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1537 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1538 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1539 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1540 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1541 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1542 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1543 this delay.
1544
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001545 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1546 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1547 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1548 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1549 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

Uri Mashiach3dc6f652017-01-19 10:51:05 +02001604- Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001605
1606 Several configurations allow to display the current
1607 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1608 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1609 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1610 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1611 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
Uri Mashiach3dc6f652017-01-19 10:51:05 +02001612 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001613 feature in U-Boot.
1614
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02001615 Additional options:

Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02001618 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
1619 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
Uri Mashiach3dc6f652017-01-19 10:51:05 +02001620 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02001621 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
1622
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02001623 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
1624 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
1625 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
1626 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
1627 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
1628 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001818 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1819 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001820
1821 I2C_INIT
1822
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001823 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001828 I2C_ACTIVE
1829
1830 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1831 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1832 define can be null.
1833
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001834 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)

1837
1838 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1839 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1840 define can be null.
1841

1845
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07001846 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
1847 false if it is low.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001869 I2C_DELAY
1870
1871 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1872 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001873 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001874 like:
1875

1879
1880 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1881 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1882 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1883 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1884
1885 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1886 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001890 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1891 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1892 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1893 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1894 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1895 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1896 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1897 is run early in the boot sequence.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001899 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1900
1901 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001902 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1903 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001904 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1905
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001906 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001907
1908 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001909 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05001910 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1911 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001912
1913 e.g.
1914 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001915 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001916
1917 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1918
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001919 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Simon Glassb05e2b32016-10-02 18:01:05 -06001920 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001921
1922 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1923
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001924 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001925
1926 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1927 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1928
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001929 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001930
1931 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1932 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1933
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06001934 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
1935
1936 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
1937 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
1938 between writing the address pointer and reading the
1939 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
1940 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
1941 devices can use either method, but some require one or
1942 the other.

1953 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
1954 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
1955 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
1956 defined, the board configuration must define several
1957 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
1958 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

1961
1962 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
1963 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
1964 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001965 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an

2033- Configuration Management:
Stefan Roese141ed202014-10-22 12:13:24 +02002034 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2035
2036 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2037 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2038 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2039 special image will be automatically built upon calling
Simon Glassdc27def2016-07-27 20:33:08 -06002040 make / buildman.
Stefan Roese141ed202014-10-22 12:13:24 +02002041
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002042 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2043
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002044 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2045 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002046
2047- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2048
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002049 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2050 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002051 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002052 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2053 protects these variables from casual modification by
2054 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2055 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002056 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002057
2058 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2059 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002060 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002061 these parameters.
2062
Joe Hershberger76f353e2015-05-04 14:55:14 -05002063 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2064 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002065 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002066 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2067 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2068 read-only.]
2069
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002070 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2071 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2072 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2073 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2074
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002075- Protected RAM:
2076 CONFIG_PRAM
2077
2078 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2079 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2080 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2081 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2082 this default value by defining an environment
2083 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2084 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2085 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2086 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2087 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2088 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2089 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2090
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002091 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002092 saveenv
2093
2094 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2095 either, which results in a memory region that will
2096 not be affected by reboots.
2097
2098 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2099 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2100 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2101 following board configurations are known to be
2102 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002108- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2109 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2110 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2111 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2112 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2113 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2114 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2115
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002116- Error Recovery:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002117 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2118
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002119 This variable defines the number of retries for
2120 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2121 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2122 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002123
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002124 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2125
2126 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2127
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002128 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2129
2130 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2131 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2132 try longer timeout such as
2133 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2134
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002135- Command Interpreter:
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002136 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002137
2138 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2139 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2140 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2141
2142 Note:
2143
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002144 In the current implementation, the local variables
2145 space and global environment variables space are
2146 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2147 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2148 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2149 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2150 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002151
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002152 Global environment variables are those you use
2153 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2154 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2155 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002156
2157 To store commands and special characters in a
2158 variable, please use double quotation marks
2159 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2160 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2161 symbols.
2162
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002163- Command Line Editing and History:
Marek Vasut734fb042016-01-27 04:47:55 +01002164 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2165
2166 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2167 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2168 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2169 and PS2.
2170
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002171- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002172 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2173
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002174 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2175 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002176 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002177
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002178 For example, place something like this in your
2179 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002180
2181 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2182 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2183 "myvar2=value2\0"
2184
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002185 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2186 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2187 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2188 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002189 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002190 You better know what you are doing here.
2191
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002192 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2193 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002194 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002195 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002196
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002197 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2198
2199 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002200 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002201 that so that the environment is not available until
2202 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2203 this is instead controlled by the value of
2204 /config/load-environment.
2205
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002206- Serial Flash support
Simon Glass663b0cc2017-08-04 16:35:06 -06002207 Usage requires an initial 'sf probe' to define the serial
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002208 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2209 commands.
2210
2211 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2212 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2213 flash is present on the system.
2214
2215 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2216 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2217 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)

Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002221- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2222 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2223
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002224 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002225 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002226 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002227 number generator is used.
2228
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002229 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2230 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2231 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2232
2233 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002234 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2235 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2236 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2237 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2238 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2239 but sometimes that is not allowed.

2243
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002244 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2245 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2246 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2247 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2248 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,

2407
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +02002408 This option defines a board specific value for the
2409 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
2410 overwriting the architecture dependent default

2418 when using a graphics controller has separate video
2419 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2420 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2421 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2422 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2423 configured panel size.

2439 Needed for mtdparts command support.
2440
2441 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
2442
2443 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
2444 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
2445
Joe Hershberger7d80fc12013-04-08 10:32:48 +00002446- UBI support
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02002447 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
2448 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
2449 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
2450 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
2451 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
2452 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
2453
2454 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
2455 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
2456 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
2457 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
2458 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
2459
2460 default: 4096
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -06002461
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02002462 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
2463 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
2464 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
2465 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
2466 flash), this value is ignored.
2467
2468 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
2469 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
2470 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
2471 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
2472 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
2473 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
2474
2475 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
2476 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
2477 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
2478 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
2479 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
2480 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
2481 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
2482 partition.
2483
2484 default: 20
2485
2486 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
2487 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
2488 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
2489 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
2490 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
2491 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
2492 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
2493 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
2494 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
2495 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
2496 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
2497 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
2498
2499 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
2500 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
2501 without a fastmap.
2502 default: 0
2503
Heiko Schocher94b66de2015-10-22 06:19:21 +02002504 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
2505 Enable UBI fastmap debug

Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)287b0942015-03-31 11:40:50 +02002548 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
2549 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
2550 loaded does not have a signature.
2551 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
2552 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
2553 will be caught.

2613 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
2614 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
2615 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
2616 loading the first page rather than the full 4K).

Benoît Thébaudeauf0180722013-04-11 09:35:49 +00002682 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
2683 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
2684 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
2685 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
2686 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

Simon Glass82d94532013-05-08 08:05:59 +00002694 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
2695 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
2696 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
2697 bootm command when booting a FIT image.

2703 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
2704 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
2705 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02002706 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
2707 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
2708 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002710- Interrupt support (PPC):
2711
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002712 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2713 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002714 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002715 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002716 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002717 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002718 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002719 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2720 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2721 general timer_interrupt().

2725------------------------------
2726
2727During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
2728to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
2729before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
2730following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
2731architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
2732typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

2769 simple memory test.
2770
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002771- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5958f4a2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00002772 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
2773 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
2774
York Sun5d286cd2015-12-04 11:57:07 -08002775- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
York Sun1ef95cc2016-06-24 16:46:18 -07002776 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
York Sun5d286cd2015-12-04 11:57:07 -08002777 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
2778 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
2779 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
York Sun1ef95cc2016-06-24 16:46:18 -07002780 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
York Sun5d286cd2015-12-04 11:57:07 -08002781 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
2782 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
2783
York Sun50739372015-12-07 11:05:29 -08002784- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002785 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002786 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002787 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002788 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2789 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2790 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002791 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002792 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002793 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002794
2795 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2796 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2797 be touched.
2798
2799 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2800 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2801 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2802 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
2803 problems.
2804
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002805- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:

2807
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002808- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002809 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
2810
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002811- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:

2816 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk0708bc62010-10-07 21:51:12 +02002817 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002818 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002819
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002820- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002821 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
2822 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
2823 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
2824 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002825
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002826- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002827 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
2828
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06002829- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
2830 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
2831 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
2832 will become available before relocation. The address is just
2833 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
2834 space.
2835
2836 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
2837 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
2838 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002839 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06002840 U-Boot relocates itself.
2841
Simon Glass9fa901b2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07002842- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
2843 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
2844 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
2845 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
2846
Thierry Redingc97d9742014-12-09 22:25:22 -07002847- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
2848 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
2849 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
2850 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
2851 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
2852 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
2853 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
2854 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
2855 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
2856 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
2857 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
2858 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
2859 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
2860 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
2861 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
2862 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
2863
2864 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
2865
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002866- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01002867 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2868 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002869 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01002870 to adjust this setting to your needs.
2871
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002872- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002873 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
2874 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by

John Rigbyeea8e692010-10-13 13:57:35 -06002884- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
2885 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
2886 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
2887 is enabled.
2888
2889- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
2890 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
2891 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2892
2893- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
2894 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
2895 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.

wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00002916 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
2917 instead of U-Boot software protection.
2918
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002919- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002920
2921 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2922 without this option such a download has to be
2923 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2924 copy from RAM to flash.
2925
2926 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2927 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002928 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2929 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002930 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2931
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002932- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002933 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00002934 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
2935
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD8d94c232008-08-13 01:40:42 +02002936- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00002937 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver

Piotr Ziecik3e939e92008-11-17 15:57:58 +01002940- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
2941 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
2942 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
2943 to the MTD layer.
2944
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002945- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

2950 write commands.
2951
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002952- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roesec443fe92005-11-22 13:20:42 +01002953 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
2954 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
2955 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
2956 optionally available.
2957
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05002958- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
2959 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
2960 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
2961 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
2962
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02002963- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
2964 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
2965 against the source after the write operation. An error message
2966 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
2967 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
2968 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
2969 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
2970 this option if you really know what you are doing.
2971
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002972- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002973 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
2974 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002975 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
2976 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002977 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002978 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
2979
Wolfgang Denk460a9ff2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02002980- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
2981
Wolfgang Denk1136f692010-10-27 22:48:30 +02002982 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
2983 internally to store the environment settings. The default
2984 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
2985 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
2986 lib/hashtable.c for details.

Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002988- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
2989- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04002990 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002991 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
2992 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
2993 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
2994
2995 The format of the list is:
2996 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002997 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
2998 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002999 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3000 list = entry[,list]
3001
3002 The type attributes are:
3003 s - String (default)
3004 d - Decimal
3005 x - Hexadecimal
3006 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3007 i - IP address
3008 m - MAC address
3009
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003010 The access attributes are:
3011 a - Any (default)
3012 r - Read-only
3013 o - Write-once
3014 c - Change-default
3015
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003016 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3017 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003018 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003019
3020 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3021 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3022 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3023 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3024 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3025 ".flags" variable.
3026
Joe Hershberger6db9fd42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05003027 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3028 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3029 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3030
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003031- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3032 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3033 access flags.
3034
Gabe Black3687fe42014-10-15 04:38:30 -06003035- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3036 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3037 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3038 building U-Boot to enable this.
3039
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003040The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3041of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3042following configurations:
3043
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003044- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3045
3046 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3047 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3048
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003049BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003050in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003051console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003052U-Boot will hang.
3053
3054Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3055environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3056keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3057to save the current settings.
3058
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003059BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3060"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003061environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3062but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003063
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003064- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3065
3066 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3067 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3068 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3069
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003070Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003071has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Simon Glass64b723f2017-08-03 12:22:12 -06003072created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use env_get_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003073until then to read environment variables.
3074
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003075The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3076is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3077with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3078necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3079"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3080have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003081
3082Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3083the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003084use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003085
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003086- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003087 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00003088
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003089 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00003090 also needs to be defined.
3091
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003092- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003093 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003094
Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08003095- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3096 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3097 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3098 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3099 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3100 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
3101
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00003102- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3103 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
3104 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
3105 to do this.
3106
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00003107- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3108 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
3109 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
3110 present.
3111
Sascha Silbe4b9c17c2013-08-11 16:40:43 +02003112- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
3113 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
3114 build system checks that the actual size does not
3115 exceed it.
3116
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003117Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:

3122
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003123- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3124 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3125 PowerPC SOCs.
3126
3127- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3128 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3129 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3130
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003131- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3132 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3133 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003134 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003135 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3136 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3137 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3138
3139 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3140 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3141
3142- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003143 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3144 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003145 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3146 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3147
3148- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3149 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3150 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3151 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3152
3153- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3154 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3155 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
3156
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +00003157- Floppy Disk Support:

3385 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
3386 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
3387 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
3388 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
3389 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
3390 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

3402-----------------------------------
3403
3404The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3405loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3406This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3407are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3408within that device.
3409
Zhao Qiang83a90842014-03-21 16:21:44 +08003410- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3411 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
3412 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3413 is also specified.
3414
3415- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
3416 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06003417 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3418 is also specified.
3419
3420- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3421 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
3422 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3423 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3424 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3425
3426- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3427 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3428 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3429 virtual address in NOR flash.
3430
3431- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3432 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3433 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3434
3435- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3436 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
3437 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3438
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00003439- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
3440 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
3441 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003442 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
3443 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in

3447---------------------------------------------------------
3448The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
3449"firmware".
3450This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3451are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3452within that device.
3453
3454- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
3455 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.

Paul Kocialkowski7b917022015-07-26 18:48:15 +02003466Reproducible builds
3467-------------------
3468
3469In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
3470process have to be set to a fixed value.
3471
3472This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
3473SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
3474option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
3475
3476SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003478Building the Software:
3479======================
3480
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003481Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3482and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3483all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3484(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3485recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3486which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003487
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003488If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3489have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3490you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3491Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3492necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003493
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003494 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3495 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003496
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05003497Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3498 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3499 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3500 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
3501
3502 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3503
3504 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3505 be executed on computers running Windows.
3506
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003507U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3508sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003509is done by typing:
3510
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02003511 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003512
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02003513where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00003514rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00003515
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003516Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3517 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3518 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3519 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003520 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003521
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02003522 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003523 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003524
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02003525 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003526 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003527
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003528 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003529
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003530
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003531Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3532images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003533
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003534- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3535- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3536- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003537
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003538By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3539in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3540this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3541
35421. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3543
3544 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02003545 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003546 make O=/tmp/build all
3547
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +020035482. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003549
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02003550 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003551 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02003552 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003553 make all
3554
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02003555Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003556variable.
3557
Daniel Schwierzeck88484422018-01-26 16:31:04 +01003558User specific CPPFLAGS, AFLAGS and CFLAGS can be passed to the compiler by
3559setting the according environment variables KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS.
3560For example to treat all compiler warnings as errors:
3561
3562 make KCFLAGS=-Werror
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003563
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003564Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3565for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3566native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003567
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003568
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003569If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3570to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3571steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003572
Phil Sutterc77b4882015-12-25 14:41:18 +010035731. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003574 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
Phil Sutterc77b4882015-12-25 14:41:18 +01003575 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
35762. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3577 your board.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000035783. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3579 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020035804. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000035815. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3582 to be installed on your target system.
35836. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3584 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

3588==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003589
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003590If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3591or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003592provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3593the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003594official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003595
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003596But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3597cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003598the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
Simon Glassdc27def2016-07-27 20:33:08 -06003599just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
3600configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
3601will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
3602for documentation.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003665Environment Variables:
3666======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003667
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003668U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
3669can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003670
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003671Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
3672"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
3673without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
3674environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
3675working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
3676environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

3694 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
3695 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
3696 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
3697 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux

Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003702 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
3703 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
3704 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
3705 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
3706 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003723
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003724 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3725 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3726 be automatically started (by internally calling
3727 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003728
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003729 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3730 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3731 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3732 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3733 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003734
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04003735 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
3736 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00003737 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
3738 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
3739 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
3740 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
3741 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
3742 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
3743 access it during the boot procedure.
3744
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04003745 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
3746 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
3747 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
3748 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
3749 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
3750 must be accessible by the kernel.
3751
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00003752 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
3753 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
3754 defined.
3755
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00003756 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3757 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3758 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3759 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3760 it must be saved and board must be reset.
3761
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003762 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
3763 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3764 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3765 is usually what you want since it allows for
3766 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3767 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003768 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003769 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3770 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3771 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3772 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003773
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003774 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3775 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3776 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3777 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3778 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3779 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003780
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003781 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003782
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003783 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3784 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3785 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3786 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3787 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3788 boot time on your system, but requires that this
3789 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00003808 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
3809 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003810
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02003811 => setenv ethact FEC

Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01003816 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
3817 available network interfaces.
3818 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
3819
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003820 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003821 either succeed or fail without retrying.
3822 When set to "once" the network operation will
3823 fail when all the available network interfaces
3824 are tried once without success.
3825 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
3826 themselves.

Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003830 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07003831 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
3832 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
3833 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
3834 is silent.
3835
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)83006852015-10-12 00:02:57 +02003836 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003837 UDP source port.
3838
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)83006852015-10-12 00:02:57 +02003839 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP

3841
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003842 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
3843 we use the TFTP server's default block size
3844
3845 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
3846 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
3847 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
3848 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
3849 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
3850 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
3851 with unreliable TFTP servers.
3852
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)83006852015-10-12 00:02:57 +02003853 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
3854 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
3855 can happen during a single file transfer before that
3856 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
3857 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
3858 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
3859 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
3860
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003861 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over

3866 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
3867 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
3868 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
3869 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
3870
Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00003871The following image location variables contain the location of images
3872used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
3873not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
3874variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
3875server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
3876loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
3877flash or offset in NAND flash.
3878
3879*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
Fabio Estevambb7d4972015-04-25 18:53:10 -03003880boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00003881boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003890The following environment variables may be used and automatically
3891updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
3892depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00003893
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003894 bootfile - see above
3895 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
3896 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
3897 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
3898 hostname - Target hostname
3899 ipaddr - see above
3900 netmask - Subnet Mask
3901 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
3902 serverip - see above

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003905There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003906
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003907 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
3908 as type string and/or serial number
3909 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003910
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003911These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
3912the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
3913once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003914
3915
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003916Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003917
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003918 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
3919 with the "version" command. This variable is
3920 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06003927Callback functions for environment variables:
3928---------------------------------------------
3929
3930For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003931when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06003932be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
3933deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
3934effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
3935
3936The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
3937U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
3938
3939These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
3940static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
3941in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
3942associations. The list must be in the following format:
3943
3944 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
3945 list = entry[,list]
3946
3947If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
3948Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
3949
3950Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
3951with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
3952override any association in the static list. You can define
3953CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003954".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06003955
Joe Hershberger6db9fd42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05003956If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3957regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
3958the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003964There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
3965the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003966
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003967Old, simple command line parser:
3968--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003969
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003970- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
3971- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003972- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003973- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
3974 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003975 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003976- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
3977 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003978

3980-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003981
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003982- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
3983 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
3984 until...do...done, ...
3985- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
3986 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
3987 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
3988 command

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003990General rules:
3991--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003992
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003993(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
3994 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
3995 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
3996 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003997
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003998(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003999 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004000 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4001 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004002
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004003Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4004=======================================

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004006Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004007such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4008"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004009
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004010Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4011MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4012"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004013
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004014If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4015in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4016ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4017variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004018
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004019o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4020 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004021
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004022o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4023 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4024 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004025
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004026o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4027 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004028
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004029o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4030 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4031 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004032
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004033o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
Joe Hershberger2dc2b5d2015-05-04 14:55:13 -05004034 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
4035 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004036
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004037If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004038will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004039may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4040The naming convention is as follows:
4041"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004043Image Formats:
4044==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004045
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01004046U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4047images in two formats:
4048
4049New uImage format (FIT)
4050-----------------------
4051
4052Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4053to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4054components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4055SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4056
4057
4058Old uImage format
4059-----------------
4060
4061Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4062preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4063details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004064

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004079The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
4080and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
4081CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004082
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004083
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004084Linux Support:
4085==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004086
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004087Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4088easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4089U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004090
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004091U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4092special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4093"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4094instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4095serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004096
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004097- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4098 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4099 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004100
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004101- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4102 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004103
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004104- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4105 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4106 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4107 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4108 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4109 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004110
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004111
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004112Linux HOWTO:
4113============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004114
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004115Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4116---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004117
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004118U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4119configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4120(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4121Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004122
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02004123But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004124
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004125Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4126include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02004127Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4128and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004129as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004130
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06004131Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
4132If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
4133is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
4134doc/driver-model.
4135
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004136
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004137Configuring the Linux kernel:
4138-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004139
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004140No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4141device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004142
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004143
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004144Building a Linux Image:
4145-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004146
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004147With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4148not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4149"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4150U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4151which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4152100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004153
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004154Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004155
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004156 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004157 make oldconfig
4158 make dep
4159 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004160
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004161The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4162encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4163CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004164
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004165* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004166
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004167* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004168
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004169 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4170 -R .note -R .comment \
4171 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004172
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004173* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004174
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004175 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004176
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004177* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004178
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004179 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4180 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4181 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004182
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004183
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004184The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4185with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4186combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4187byte header containing information about target architecture,
4188operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4189stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004190
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004191"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4192print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004193
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004194In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4195contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4196checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004197
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004198 tools/mkimage -l image
4199 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004200
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004201The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4202from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004203
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004204 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4205 -n name -d data_file image
4206 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4207 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4208 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4209 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4210 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4211 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4212 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4213 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004214
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00004215Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4216address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4217kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004218
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004219- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4220- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004221
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004222So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004223

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004245NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4246speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4247needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4248need to be uncompressed:

Guilherme Maciel Ferreira51553812013-12-01 12:43:11 -07004276The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
4277option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
4278option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
4279from the image:

Guilherme Maciel Ferreira40bf5632015-01-15 02:54:40 -02004281 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
4282 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
4283 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4284 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004287Installing a Linux Image:
4288-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004289
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004290To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4291you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004292
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004293 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004294
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004295The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4296image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4297address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4298specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4299command.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004467More About U-Boot Image Types:
4468------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004469
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004470U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004471
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004472 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4473 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4474 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4475 the Standalone Program.
4476 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4477 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4478 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4479 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4480 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4481 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4482 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4483 being started.
4484 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4485 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4486 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4487 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4488 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4489 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004490
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004491 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4492 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4493 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4494 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4495 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4496 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004497
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004498 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4499 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4500 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00004501
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004502 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4503 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4504 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4505 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00004507Booting the Linux zImage:
4508-------------------------
4509
4510On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
4511using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
4512as the syntax of "bootm" command.
4513
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04004514Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00004515kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
4516address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
4517format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

4521=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004522
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004523One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4524run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4525U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.

4562handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4563Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4564The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4565character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4566controlled by the following keys:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004632Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
4633(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004634
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004635Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
4636NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
4637need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
4638Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
4639attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
4640missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004641
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004642 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
4643 # mkdir powerpc
4644 # ln -s powerpc machine
4645 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4646 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004647
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004648Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4649and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004650
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004651Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4652stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4653proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4654tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

4659=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004660
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004661The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4662implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4663inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4664hardware.

4668---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004669
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004670The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4671starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4672system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4673This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4674is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4675at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4676options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4677models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4678MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4679locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004681 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004689 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4690 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4691 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
4692 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
4693 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004694 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004695 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
4696 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004698 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
4699 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004700 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004701 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
4702 board designers haven't used it for something that would
4703 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
4704 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004705
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004706 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004707 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
4708 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02004709 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004710 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
4711 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
4712 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
4713 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
4714 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004719It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
4720code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004721
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004722* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
4723 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004724
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004725* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004726 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
4727 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004728
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004729* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
4730 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004731
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004732Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004733normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004734turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
4735simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
4736functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
4737functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
4738the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
4739place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
4740reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004741
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004742When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
4743relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
4744GCC's implementation.

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01004755 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
4756 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
4757 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004761 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
4762 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
4763 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
4764 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
4765 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
4766 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004828U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
4829MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004830
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004831The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
4832controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
4833memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
4834physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004835
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004836U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
4837TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
4838booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
4839to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004840memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004841configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
4842Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004843
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004844Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
4845of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004846
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004847So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
4848this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004849

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004870System Initialization:
4871----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004872
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004873In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004874(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004875configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004876To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
4877To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
4878initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
Heiko Schocher71cb3e92017-06-07 17:33:10 +02004879which provide such a feature like), or in a locked part of the data
4880cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, the caches and
4881the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004882
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004883Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
4884preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
4885(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
4886on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
4887programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
4888simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
4889banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004890
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004891When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
4892different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
4893bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
48940x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
4895contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004896
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004897Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
4898and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
4899Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
4900pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004901
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004902Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
4903until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
4904running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
4905new address in RAM.

5044 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005045 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005046 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5047 with some other mail clients.

Simon Glassdc27def2016-07-27 20:33:08 -06005070* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005071 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5072 for any of the boards.
5073
5074* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5075 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5076 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005077
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005078* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5079 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5080 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5081 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
