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

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000227Software Configuration:
228=======================
229
230Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
232
233There are two classes of configuration variables:
234
235* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
237 "CONFIG_".
238
239* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200242 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000243
244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
248as an example here.
249
250
251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252---------------------------------------------------
253
254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200260 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000261
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
265
266
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600267Sandbox Environment:
268--------------------
269
270U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
271board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
272specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
273run some of U-Boot's tests.
274
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki287314f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530275See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600276
277
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292
293
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000294The following options need to be configured:

629
630 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
631 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
632 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
633 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
634 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
635 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
636 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000637 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100638 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

680 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
681 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
682 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
683 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and

739
740 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
741
742 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
743 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
744 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
745
John Rigby34e21ee2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000746 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
747
748 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
749 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
750 this variable to initialize the extra register.
751
752 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
753
754 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
755 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
756 variable to flush the UART at init time.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000763- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000764 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
765 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
766 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
767 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000768
769 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
770 port routines must be defined elsewhere
771 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
772

Pali Rohár4a57da32012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000812 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
813 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
814 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
815
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000816 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
817 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with

822 the "silent" environment variable. See
823 doc/README.silent for more information.

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100836- Console Rx buffer length
837 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
838 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100839 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100840 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
841 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
842 the SMC.
843
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000844- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200845 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
846 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
847 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
848 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
849 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
850 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
851 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200852 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200853 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000854
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200855 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
856 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000857
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000858- Safe printf() functions
859 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
860 the printf() functions. These are defined in
861 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
862 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
863 If this option is not given then these functions will
864 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
865 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
866
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000867- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
868 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
869 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000870 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
871 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000872
873 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
874 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
875 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
876 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
877 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
878 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
879 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
880 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
881 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
882 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
883 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
884 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
885
886- Autoboot Command:
887 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
888 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
889 define a command string that is automatically executed
890 when no character is read on the console interface
891 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
892
893 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000894 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
895 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
896 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000897
898 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000899 The value of these goes into the environment as
900 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
901 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200902 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000903
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100904- Bootcount:
905 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
906 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
907 cycle, see:
908 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
909
910 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
911 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
912 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
913 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
914 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
915 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
916 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
917 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
918 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
919
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000920- Pre-Boot Commands:
921 CONFIG_PREBOOT
922
923 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
924 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
925 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
926 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
927 entering interactive mode.
928
929 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
930 automatically generated or modified. For an example
931 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
932 modified when the user holds down a certain
933 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
934 booting the systems
935
936- Serial Download Echo Mode:
937 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
938 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
939 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
940 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
941 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
942 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
943 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
944
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500945- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000946 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
947 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200948 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000949
950- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500951 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
952 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000953 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
954 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500955 and augmenting with additional #define's
956 for wanted commands.

1070
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001071 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1072 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET

Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -04001074 Other Commands:
1075 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001076
1077 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001078 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001079 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1080 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1081 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1082 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1083 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1084 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001085

1087 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1088
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001089- Regular expression support:
1090 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001091 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1092 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1093 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1094 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001095
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001096- Device tree:
1097 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1098 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1099 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1100 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1101 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1102 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1103
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001104 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1105 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001106
1107 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1108 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1109 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1110 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1111 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1112 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001113
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001114 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1115 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1116 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1117 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1118
1119 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1120
1121 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1122 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1123 still use the individual files if you need something more
1124 exotic.
1125
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001126- Watchdog:
1127 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1128 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001129 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1130 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1131 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1132 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1133 available, then no further board specific code should
1134 be needed to use it.
1135
1136 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1137 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1138 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1139 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001140
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001141- U-Boot Version:
1142 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1143 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1144 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1145 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001146 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1147 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001148
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001149- Real-Time Clock:
1150
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001151 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001152 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1153 following options:
1154
1155 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1156 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001157 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001158 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
wdenk1fe2c702003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001159 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001160 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001161 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel90491f22014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001162 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenkef5fe752003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001163 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krillb27939b2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001164 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenkaeba06f2004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001165 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001166 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001167 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1168 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001169
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001170 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1171 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1172
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001173- GPIO Support:
1174 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001175
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001176 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1177 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1178 pins supported by a particular chip.
1179
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001180 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1181 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1182
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001183- I/O tracing:
1184 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1185 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1186 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1187 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1188 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1189 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1190 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1191 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1192
1193 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1194 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1195 still continue to operate.
1196
1197 iotrace is enabled
1198 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1199 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1200 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1201 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1202 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1203 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1204
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001205- Timestamp Support:
1206
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001207 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1208 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1209 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001210 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001211
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001212- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1213 Zero or more of the following:
1214 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1215 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1216 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1217 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1218 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1219 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1220 disk/part_efi.c
1221 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001222
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001223 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1224 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001225 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001226
1227- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001228 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1229 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001230
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001231 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1232 be performed by calling the function
1233 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1234 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001235
1236- ATAPI Support:
1237 CONFIG_ATAPI
1238
1239 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1240
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001241- LBA48 Support
1242 CONFIG_LBA48
1243
1244 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher0f602e12009-12-03 11:21:21 +01001245 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001246 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1247 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1248
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001249 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001250 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1251 Default is 32bit.
1252
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001253- SCSI Support:
1254 At the moment only there is only support for the
1255 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1256 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1257
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001258 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1259 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1260 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001261 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1262 devices.
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001263 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001264
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001265 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1266 SCSI devices found during the last scan.
Stefan Reinauere50a10e2012-10-29 05:23:48 +00001267
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001268- NETWORK Support (PCI):

Kyle Moffett64b94dd2011-10-18 11:05:29 +00001270 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1271
1272 CONFIG_E1000_SPI
1273 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1274 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1275 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1276
1277 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1278 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1279 example with the "sspi" command.
1280
1281 CONFIG_CMD_E1000
1282 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1283 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00001284
Andre Schwarz68c2a302008-03-06 16:45:44 +01001285 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001286 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production.

1600 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1601 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1602 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1603 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1604 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1605
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001606 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1607 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1608 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1609 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1610
1611 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1612 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1613 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1614 sending again an USB request to the device.

Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001831 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1832
1833 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1834 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1835 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1836 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1837 a per-section basis.

1841 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1842 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1843 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1844 is slow.

wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001855- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001856
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001857 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1858 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1859 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001860 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001861 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1862 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1863 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1864 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001865
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001866 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1867
1868 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1869 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini958a8f82014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001870 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001871 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1872 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1873 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1874 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1875 there is no need to set this option.
1876
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001877 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1878
1879 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1880 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1881 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1882 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1883 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1884 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1885
1886 Example:
1887 setenv splashpos m,m
1888 => image at center of screen
1889
1890 setenv splashpos 30,20
1891 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1892
1893 setenv splashpos -10,m
1894 => vertically centered image
1895 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1896
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001897- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1898
1899 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1900 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1901 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1902
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001903- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1904
1905 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1906 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1907 bmp command.
1908
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001909- Do compresssing for memory range:
1910 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1911
1912 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1913 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1914
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001915- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001916 CONFIG_GZIP
1917
1918 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1919
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001920 CONFIG_BZIP2
1921
1922 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1923 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1924 compressed images are supported.
1925
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001926 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001927 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001928 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001929
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001930 CONFIG_LZMA
1931
1932 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1933 images is included.
1934
1935 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1936 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1937 formula:
1938
1939 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1940
1941 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1942 and Literal pos bits.
1943
1944 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1945 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1946 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1947 a very small buffer.
1948
1949 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1950 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001951 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001952
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001953 CONFIG_LZO
1954
1955 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1956 is included.

1964
1965 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1966
1967 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1968
1969 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001970 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001971
1972 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1973
1974 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1975 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1976 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1977 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1978
1979 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1980
1981 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002038 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002042- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2043 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2044
2045 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2046 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2047 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2048 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2049 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2050 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2051 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2052 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002053 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002054
2055 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2056 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2057 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2058 4th and following
2059 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2060
Thierry Reding8977cda2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002061 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2062
2063 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2064 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2065 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2066 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2067 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2068 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2069 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2070 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2071 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2072 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2073 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2074 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2075 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2076 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2077 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002097 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2098 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.

Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002100 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2101 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2102 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2103 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2104 is not available.
2105
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002106 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2107 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2108 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2109 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2110 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2111 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2112 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002113 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002114
2115 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2116 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2117 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002118 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002119 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2120 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002122 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2123
2124 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2125 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2126 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2127 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2128 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2129 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2130 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2131 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2132 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2133 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2134 this delay.
2135
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002136 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2137 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2138 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2139 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2140 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002186- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2187
2188 Several configurations allow to display the current
2189 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2190 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2191 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2192 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2193 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2194 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2195 feature in U-Boot.
2196
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002197 Additional options:
2198
2199 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2200 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2201 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2202 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2203 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2204
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002205 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2206 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2207 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2208 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2209 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2210 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2211
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002212- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

2215 on those systems that support this (optional)
2216 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002346 additional defines:
2347
2348 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2349 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2350 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2351 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2352 omit this define.
2353
2354 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2355 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2356 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2357 omit this define.
2358
2359 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2360 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2361 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2362 define.
2363
2364 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2365 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2366 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2367 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and

Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002394- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002395
2396 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2397 provides the following compelling advantages:
2398
2399 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2400 - approved multibus support
2401 - better i2c mux support
2402
2403 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002404
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002405 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2406 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2407 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002408
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002409 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002410 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002411 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2412 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002413 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002414
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002415 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002416
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002417 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002418 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002419
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002420 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002421 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002422 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002423 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002424
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002425 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002426 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002427 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2428 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2429 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002430
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002431 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2432
2433 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2434 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2435 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2436 commands until the slave device responds.
2437
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002438 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002439
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002440 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002441 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2442 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002443
2444 I2C_INIT
2445
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002446 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002447 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002448
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002449 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002450
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002451 I2C_PORT
2452
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002453 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2454 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2455 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002456
2457 I2C_ACTIVE
2458
2459 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2460 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2461 define can be null.
2462
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002463 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2464
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002465 I2C_TRISTATE
2466
2467 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2468 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2469 define can be null.
2470
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002471 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2472
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002473 I2C_READ
2474
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002475 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2476 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002477
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002478 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2479
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002480 I2C_SDA(bit)
2481
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002482 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2483 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002484
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002485 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002486 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002487 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002488
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002489 I2C_SCL(bit)
2490
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002491 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2492 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002493
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002494 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002495 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002496 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002497
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002498 I2C_DELAY
2499
2500 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2501 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002502 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002503 like:
2504
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002505 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002506
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002507 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2508
2509 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2510 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2511 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2512 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2513
2514 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2515 the generic GPIO functions.
2516
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002517 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002518
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002519 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2520 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2521 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2522 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2523 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2524 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2525 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2526 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002527
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002528 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2529
2530 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2531 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2532 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2533 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2534 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2535 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2536 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2537 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2538
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002539 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2540
2541 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2542 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2543 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2544
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002545 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2546
2547 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002548 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2549 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002550 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2551
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002552 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002553
2554 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002555 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002556 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2557 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002558
2559 e.g.
2560 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002561 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002562
2563 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2564
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002565 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002566 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002567
2568 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2569
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002570 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002571
2572 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2573 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2574
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002575 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002576
2577 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2578 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2579
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002580 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002581
2582 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2583 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2584
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002585 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002586
2587 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2588 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2589 specified DTT device.
2590
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002591 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2592
2593 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2594 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2595 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2596 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2597 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2598 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2599 the other.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002619 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2620 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2621 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2622 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2623 defined, the board configuration must define several
2624 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2625 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2718- Configuration Management:
2719 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2720
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002721 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2722 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002723
2724- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2725
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002726 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2727 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002728 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002729 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2730 protects these variables from casual modification by
2731 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2732 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002733 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002734
2735 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2736 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002737 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002738 these parameters.
2739
2740 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2741 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002742 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002743 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2744 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2745 read-only.]
2746
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002747 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2748 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2749 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2750 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2751
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002752- Protected RAM:
2753 CONFIG_PRAM
2754
2755 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2756 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2757 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2758 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2759 this default value by defining an environment
2760 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2761 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2762 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2763 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2764 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2765 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2766 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2767
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002768 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002769 saveenv
2770
2771 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2772 either, which results in a memory region that will
2773 not be affected by reboots.
2774
2775 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2776 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2777 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2778 following board configurations are known to be
2779 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002785- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2786 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2787 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2788 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2789 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2790 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2791 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2792
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002793- Error Recovery:
2794 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2795
2796 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2797 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2798 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002799 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002800 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2801 useful during development since you can try to debug
2802 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2803
2804 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2805
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002806 This variable defines the number of retries for
2807 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2808 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2809 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002810
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002811 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2812
2813 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2814
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002815 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2816
2817 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2818 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2819 try longer timeout such as
2820 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002824
2825 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2826
Wolfgang Denk018147d2006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002827 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2828 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002829
2830
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002831 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002832
2833 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2834 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2835 powerful command line syntax like
2836 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2837 constructs ("shell scripts").
2838
2839 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2840 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2841
2842
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002843 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002844
2845 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2846 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2847 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2848
2849 Note:
2850
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002851 In the current implementation, the local variables
2852 space and global environment variables space are
2853 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2854 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2855 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2856 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2857 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002858
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002859 Global environment variables are those you use
2860 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2861 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2862 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002863
2864 To store commands and special characters in a
2865 variable, please use double quotation marks
2866 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2867 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2868 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002877 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2878
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002879 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2880 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002881 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002882
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002883 For example, place something like this in your
2884 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002885
2886 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2887 "myvar1=value1\0" \

2889
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002890 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2891 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2892 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2893 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002894 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002895 You better know what you are doing here.
2896
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002897 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2898 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002899 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002900 boot command first.

Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002902 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG

2904 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2905 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2906 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2907
2908 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2909
2910 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2911 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2912 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2913 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR

2919 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2920 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2921
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002922 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2923
2924 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2925 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2926 that so that the environment is not available until
2927 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2928 this is instead controlled by the value of
2929 /config/load-environment.

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002934 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2935 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2936 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002937
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002938- Serial Flash support
2939 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2940
2941 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2942 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2943
2944 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2945 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2946 commands.
2947
2948 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2949 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2950 flash is present on the system.
2951
2952 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2953 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2954 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2955 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2956
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002957 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2958
2959 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2960 test ('sf test').
2961
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekic6d173d2013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302962 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2963
2964 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2965 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2966
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302967 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2968
2969 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2970 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2971 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2972
Heiko Schocherd73b7ec2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02002973 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
2974 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
2975 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
2976 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
2977 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
2978 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
2979 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
2980 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
2981 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
2982 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
2983
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002984- SystemACE Support:
2985 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2986
2987 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2988 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002989 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002990 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002991
2992 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002993 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002994
2995 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2996 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2997
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002998- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2999 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3000
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003001 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003002 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003003 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003004 number generator is used.
3005
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003006 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3007 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3008 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3009
3010 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003011 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3012 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3013 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3014 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3015 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3016 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3017
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003018- Hashing support:
3019 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3020
3021 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3022 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3023
3024 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3025
3026 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3027 size a little.
3028
3029 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3030 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3031
3032 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3033 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3034
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003035- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3036 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3037 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3038 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3039
3040 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3041 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3042 a boot from specific media.
3043
3044 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3045 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3046 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3047 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3048 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3049
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003050- Signing support:
3051 CONFIG_RSA
3052
3053 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel49dc73b2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003054 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003055
3056 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3057 option.
3058
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003059- bootcount support:
3060 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3061
3062 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3063 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3064
3065 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3066 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3067 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3068 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3069 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3070 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3071 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3072 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3073 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3074 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3075 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3076 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3077 the bootcounter.
3078 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003079
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003080- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003081 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3082
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003083 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3084 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3085 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3086 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3087 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3088 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003089
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003090- Detailed boot stage timing
3091 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3092 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3093 of the boot process.
3094
3095 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3096 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3097 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3098 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3099 the limit, recording will stop.
3100
3101 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3102 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3103
3104 Timer summary in microseconds:
3105 Mark Elapsed Stage
3106 0 0 reset
3107 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3108 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
3109 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done

3112 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3113 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3114
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003115 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3116 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3117 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3118
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003119 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3120 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3121 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3122 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3123 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3124 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3125 For example:
3126
3127 bootstage {
3128 154 {
3129 name = "board_init_f";
3130 mark = <3575678>;
3131 };
3132 170 {
3133 name = "lcd";
3134 accum = <33482>;
3135 };
3136 };
3137
3138 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3313 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3314 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3315 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3316
Simon Glass58fe7e52013-06-13 15:10:00 -07003317 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3318 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,

Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003335 This option defines a board specific value for the
3336 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3337 overwriting the architecture dependent default

3345 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3346 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3347 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3348 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3349 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3350 configured panel size.

3378
3379 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3380 with the UBI flash translation layer
3381
3382 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3383
Joe Hershberger47550fc2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003384 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3385
3386 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3387 warnings and errors enabled.
3388
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003389
3390 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3391 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3392 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3393 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3394 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3395 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3396
3397 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3398 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3399 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3400 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3401 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3402
3403 default: 4096
3404
3405 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3406 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3407 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3408 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3409 flash), this value is ignored.
3410
3411 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3412 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3413 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3414 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3415 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3416 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3417
3418 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3419 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3420 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3421 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3422 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3423 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3424 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3425 partition.
3426
3427 default: 20
3428
3429 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3430 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3431 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3432 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3433 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3434 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3435 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3436 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3437 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3438 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3439 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3440 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3441
3442 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3443 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3444 without a fastmap.
3445 default: 0
3446
Joe Hershberger7d80fc12013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003447- UBIFS support
3448 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3449
3450 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3451 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3452
3453 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3454
Joe Hershberger47550fc2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003455 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

Benoît Thébaudeauf0180722013-04-11 09:35:49 +00003662 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3663 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3664 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3665 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3666 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

Scott Woodf147eb72012-09-21 16:27:32 -05003668 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3669 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3670 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3671 example if more than one image needs to be produced.

Simon Glass82d94532013-05-08 08:05:59 +00003673 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3674 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3675 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3676 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3677 bootm command when booting a FIT image.

Wolfgang Denk8f399b32011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003693[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003694

3701- Modem debug support:
3702 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3703
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003704 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3705 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003707- Interrupt support (PPC):
3708
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003709 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3710 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003711 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003712 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003713 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003714 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003715 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003716 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3717 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3718 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003720- General:
3721
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003722 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3723 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3724 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003725 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003726 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3727 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3728 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003729
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003730 If there are no modem init strings in the
3731 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3732 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003733 suppressed, though.

3738------------------------------
3739
3740During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3741to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3742before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3743following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3744architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3745typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

3788
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003789- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE

3794
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003795- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003796 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3797 simple memory test.
3798
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003799- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003800 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003801
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003802- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5958f4a2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003803 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3804 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3805
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003806- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3807 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003808 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003809 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003810 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3811 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3812 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003813 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003814 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003815 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003816
3817 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3818 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3819 be touched.
3820
3821 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3822 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3823 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3824 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3825 problems.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003834 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3835 Cogent motherboard)
3836
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003837- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003838 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3839
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003840- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003841 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3842 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk0708bc62010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003843 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003844 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003845
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003846- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003847 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3848 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3849 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3850 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003851
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003852- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003853 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3854
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003855- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3856 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3857 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3858 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3859 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3860 space.
3861
3862 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3863 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3864 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3865 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3866 U-Boot relocates itself.
3867
Simon Glasse997f752014-09-15 06:33:18 -06003868 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass0cc6f5c2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06003869 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3870
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003871- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003872 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3873 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003874 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003875 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3876

Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003882 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003883 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003884 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment

3892 is enabled.
3893
3894- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3895 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3896 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3897
3898- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:

3922 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3923
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003924- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003925
3926 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3927 without this option such a download has to be
3928 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3929 copy from RAM to flash.
3930
3931 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3932 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003933 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3934 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003935 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3936
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003937- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

3959 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3960 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3961 optionally available.
3962
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003963- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3964 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown

3966 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3967
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003968- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3969 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3970 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3971 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3972 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3973 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3974 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3975 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3976
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003977- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003978 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3979 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003980 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3981 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003982 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003983 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

4037 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4038 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4039 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4040 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4041 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4042 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4043 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4044 your board please report the problem and send patches!

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004051The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4052of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4053following configurations:
4054
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004055- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4056
4057 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4058 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4059
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004060- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004061
4062 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4063
4064 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4065 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4066 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4067 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4068 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4069 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4070 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4071 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4072 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4073 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4074 between U-Boot and the environment.
4075
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004076 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004077
4078 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4079 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4080 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4081 for this sector is given here.
4082
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004083 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004084
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004085 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004086
4087 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4088 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004089 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004090
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004091 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004092
4093 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4094
4095
4096 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4097 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4098 the environment.
4099
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004100 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004101
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004102 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004103 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004104 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4105 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4106
4107 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4108 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4109 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4110 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4111 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4112 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4113 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4114 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4115 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4116
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004117 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004119
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004120 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004121 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004122 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004123 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004124
4125BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4126source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4127accordingly!
4128
4129
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004130- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004131
4132 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4133 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4134 environment.
4135
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004136 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4137 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004138
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004139 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004140 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4141 can just be read and written to, without any special
4142 provision.
4143
4144BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4145in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004146console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004147U-Boot will hang.
4148
4149Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4150environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4151keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4152to save the current settings.
4153
4154
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004155- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:

4161 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004162
4163 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4164 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4165
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004166 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004171 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4172 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4173 would require six bits.
4174
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004175 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004178
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004179 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004180 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4181 that this is NOT the chip address length!

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004183 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004184 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4185 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4186 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4187 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4188 byte chips.
4189
4190 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4191 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4192 in the chip address.

4199 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4200
4201 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4202 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4203 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4204 EEPROM. For example:
4205
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004206 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004207
4208 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4209 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

4227 want to use for the environment.
4228
4229 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4230 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4231
4232 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the

4237
4238 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4239
4240 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4241
4242 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4243 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4244 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4245 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4246 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4247
4248 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4249 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4250
4251 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4252
4253 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4254
4255 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4256
4257 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4258
4259 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.

4263 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4264 want to use for the local device's environment.
4265
4266 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4267 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4268
4269 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4270 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4271 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004272 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004273
4274BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4275"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004276environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4277but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

4285 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004286
4287 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004288 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4289 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004293 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004294 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4295 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004296 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004297 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4298
4299 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4300
4301 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4302 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4303 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4304 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4305 the range to be avoided.
4306
4307 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004308

4310 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4311 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4312 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4313 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004315- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4316
4317 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4318 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4319 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4320
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004321- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4322
4323 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4324 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4325 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4326
4327 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4328
4329 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4330
4331 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4332
4333 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4334 environment in.
4335
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004336 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4337
4338 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4339 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4340 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4341
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004342 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4343 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4344
4345 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4346 when storing the env in UBI.
4347
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004348- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4349 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4350
4351 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4352
4353 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4354
4355 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4356
4357 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4358 be as following:
4359
4360 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4361 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4362 partition table.
4363 - "D:0": device D.
4364 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4365 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4366 table.
4367 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4368 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4369 partition table then means device D.
4370
4371 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4372
4373 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4374 envrionment.
4375
4376 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4377 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4378
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004379- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4380
4381 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4382 environment.
4383
4384 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4385
4386 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4387
4388 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4389
4390 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4391 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4392 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4393
4394 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4395 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4396
4397 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4398 area within the specified MMC device.
4399
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004400 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4401 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4402 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4403 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4404 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4405 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4406 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4407
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004408 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4409 MMC sector boundary.
4410
4411 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4412
4413 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4414 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4415 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4416 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4417
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004418 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4419 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4420
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004421 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4422 an MMC sector boundary.
4423
4424 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4425
4426 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4427 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4428 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4429
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004430- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004431
4432 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4433 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4434 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4435 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4436 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4437 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4438 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4439
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004440Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004441has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004442created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004443until then to read environment variables.
4444
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004445The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4446is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4447with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4448necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4449"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4450have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004451
4452Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4453the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004454use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004455
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004456- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004459 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004460 also needs to be defined.
4461
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004462- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004465- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4466 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4467 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4468 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4469 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4470 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4471
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004472- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4473 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4474 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4475 to do this.
4476
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004477- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4478 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4479 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4480 present.
4481
Sascha Silbe4b9c17c2013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004482- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4483 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4484 build system checks that the actual size does not
4485 exceed it.

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004495
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004496 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4497 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4498 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004500- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4501 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4502 PowerPC SOCs.
4503
4504- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4505 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4506 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4507
4508 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4509 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4510
4511- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4512 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4513 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004514 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004515 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4516 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4517 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4518
4519 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4520 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4521
4522- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004523 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4524 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004525 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4526 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4527
4528- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4529 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4530 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4531 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4532
4533- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4534 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4535 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004798 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004799 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4800 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4801 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004802
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004803 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4804 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4805 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4806 these initializations itself.

4821 previous 4k of the .text section.
4822
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004823- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4824 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4825 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4826 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4827 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4828 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4829 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4830 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

4834 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4835 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4836 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4837
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004838- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4839 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4840 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004855Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4856-----------------------------------
4857
4858The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4859loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4860This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4861are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4862within that device.
4863
Zhao Qiang83a90842014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004864- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4865 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4866 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4867 is also specified.
4868
4869- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4870 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004871 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4872 is also specified.
4873
4874- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4875 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4876 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4877 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4878 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4879
4880- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4881 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4882 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4883 virtual address in NOR flash.
4884
4885- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4886 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4887 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4888
4889- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4890 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4891 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4892
4893- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4894 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4895 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4896
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004897- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4898 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4899 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004900 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4901 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in

4905---------------------------------------------------------
4906The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4907"firmware".
4908This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4909are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4910within that device.
4911
4912- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4913 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4914
4915- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4916 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4917 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4918 is also specified.
4919
4920- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4921 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4922 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4923 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4924 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4925
4926- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4927 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4928 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4929 virtual address in NOR flash.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004931Building the Software:
4932======================
4933
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004934Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4935and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4936all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4937(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4938recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4939which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004940
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004941If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4942have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4943you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4944Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4945necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004946
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004947 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4948 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004949
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004950Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4951 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4952 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4953 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4954
4955 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4956
4957 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4958 be executed on computers running Windows.
4959
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004960U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4961sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004962is done by typing:
4963
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004964 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004965
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004966where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004967rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004968
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004969Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4970 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4971 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4972 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004973 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004974
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004975 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004976 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004977
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004978 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004979 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004980
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004981 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004982
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004983
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004984Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4985images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004986
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004987- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4988- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4989- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004990
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004991By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4992in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4993this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4994
49951. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4996
4997 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004998 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004999 make O=/tmp/build all
5000
50012. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
5002
5003 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5004 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005005 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005006 make all
5007
5008Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
5009variable.
5010
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005011
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005012Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5013for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5014native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005015
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005016
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005017If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5018to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5019steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005020
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050211. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005022 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5023 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050242. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5025 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5026 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
50273. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5028 your board
50293. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5030 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020050314. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050325. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5033 to be installed on your target system.
50346. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5035 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005036

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005038Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5039==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005040
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005041If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5042or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005043provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5044the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005045official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005046
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005047But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5048cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005049the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5050just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005051for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5052select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5053environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5054you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005055
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005056 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005057
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005058or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005059
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005060 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005061
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005062When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5063U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5064setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5065built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5066<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5067location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5068variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005069
5070 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5071 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5072 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5073
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005074With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5075log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5076during the whole build process.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005139Environment Variables:
5140======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005141
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005142U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5143can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005144
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005145Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5146"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5147without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5148environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5149working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5150environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005151
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005152Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5153
5154List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005155
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005156 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005157

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005159
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005160 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005161
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005162 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005163
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005164 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005165
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005166 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5167 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5168 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5169 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5170 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5171 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005172 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5173 bootm_mapsize.
5174
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005175 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005176 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5177 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5178 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5179 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5180 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5181 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005182
5183 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5184 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5185 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5186 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5187 environment variable.
5188
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005189 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5190 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5191 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5192
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005193 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5194 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5195 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5196 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005197
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005198 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5199 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5200 be automatically started (by internally calling
5201 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005202
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005203 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5204 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5205 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5206 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5207 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005208
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005209 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5210 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005211 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5212 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5213 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5214 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5215 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5216 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5217 access it during the boot procedure.
5218
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005219 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5220 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5221 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5222 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5223 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5224 must be accessible by the kernel.
5225
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005226 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5227 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5228 defined.
5229
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005230 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5231 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5232 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5233 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5234 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5235
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005236 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5237 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5238 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5239 is usually what you want since it allows for
5240 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5241 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005242 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005243 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5244 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5245 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5246 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005247
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005248 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5249 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5250 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5251 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5252 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5253 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005254
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005255 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005256
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005257 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5258 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5259 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5260 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5261 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5262 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5263 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005264
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005265 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005279
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005280 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005281
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005282 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5283 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005284
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005285 => setenv ethact FEC
5286 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5287 => setenv ethact SCC
5288 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005289
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005290 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5291 available network interfaces.
5292 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5293
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005294 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005295 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5296 When set to "once" the network operation will
5297 fail when all the available network interfaces
5298 are tried once without success.
5299 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5300 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005301
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD1948d6c2009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005302 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDd2164ef2008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005303
Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005304 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5305 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5306 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5307 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5308 is silent.
5309
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005310 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005311 UDP source port.
5312
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005313 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5314 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5315
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005316 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5317 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5318
5319 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5320 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5321 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5322 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5323 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5324 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5325 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5326
5327 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005328 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005329 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005330
Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005331The following image location variables contain the location of images
5332used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5333not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5334variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5335server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5336loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5337flash or offset in NAND flash.
5338
5339*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5340boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5341boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005350The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5351updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5352depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005353
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005354 bootfile - see above
5355 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5356 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5357 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5358 hostname - Target hostname
5359 ipaddr - see above
5360 netmask - Subnet Mask
5361 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5362 serverip - see above
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005363
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005364
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005365There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005366
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005367 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5368 as type string and/or serial number
5369 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005370
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005371These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5372the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5373once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005374
5375
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005376Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005377
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005378 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5379 with the "version" command. This variable is

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005387Callback functions for environment variables:
5388---------------------------------------------
5389
5390For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5391when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5392be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5393deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5394effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5395
5396The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5397U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5398
5399These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5400static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5401in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5402associations. The list must be in the following format:
5403
5404 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5405 list = entry[,list]
5406
5407If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5408Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5409
5410Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5411with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5412override any association in the static list. You can define
5413CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5414".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005417Command Line Parsing:
5418=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005419
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005420There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5421the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005422
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005423Old, simple command line parser:
5424--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005425
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005426- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5427- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005428- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005429- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5430 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005431 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005432- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5433 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005434
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005435Hush shell:
5436-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005437
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005438- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5439 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5440 until...do...done, ...
5441- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5442 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5443 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5444 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005445
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005446General rules:
5447--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005448
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005449(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5450 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5451 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5452 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005453
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005454(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005455 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005456 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5457 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005458
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005459Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5460=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005461
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005462Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005463such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5464"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005465
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005466Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5467MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5468"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005469
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005470If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5471in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5472ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5473variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005474
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005475o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5476 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005477
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005478o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5479 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5480 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005481
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005482o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5483 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005484
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005485o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5486 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5487 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005488
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005489o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5490 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005491
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005492If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005493will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005494may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5495The naming convention is as follows:
5496"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005497
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005498Image Formats:
5499==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005500
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005501U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5502images in two formats:
5503
5504New uImage format (FIT)
5505-----------------------
5506
5507Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5508to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5509components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5510SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5511
5512
5513Old uImage format
5514-----------------
5515
5516Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5517preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5518details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005519
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005520* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005534The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5535and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5536CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005537
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005538
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005539Linux Support:
5540==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005541
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005542Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5543easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5544U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005545
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005546U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5547special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5548"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5549instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5550serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005551
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005552- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5553 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5554 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005555
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005556- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5557 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005558
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005559- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5560 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5561 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5562 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5563 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5564 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005565
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005566
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005567Linux HOWTO:
5568============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005569
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005570Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5571---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005572
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005573U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5574configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5575(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5576Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005577
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005578But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005579
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005580Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5581include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005582Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5583and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005584as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005585
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005586Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5587If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5588is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5589doc/driver-model.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005592Configuring the Linux kernel:
5593-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005594
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005595No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5596device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005597
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005598
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005599Building a Linux Image:
5600-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005601
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005602With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5603not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5604"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5605U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5606which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5607100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005608
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005609Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005610
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005611 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005612 make oldconfig
5613 make dep
5614 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005615
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005616The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5617encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5618CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005619
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005620* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005621
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005622* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005623
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005624 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5625 -R .note -R .comment \
5626 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005627
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005628* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005629
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005630 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005631
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005632* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005633
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005634 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5635 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5636 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005637
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005638
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005639The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5640with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5641combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5642byte header containing information about target architecture,
5643operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5644stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005645
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005646"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5647print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005648
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005649In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5650contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5651checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005652
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005653 tools/mkimage -l image
5654 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005655
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005656The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5657from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005658
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005659 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5660 -n name -d data_file image
5661 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5662 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5663 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5664 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5665 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5666 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5667 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5668 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005669
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005670Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5671address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5672kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005673
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005674- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5675- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005676
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005677So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:

5732option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5733option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5734from the image:
5735

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005741Installing a Linux Image:
5742-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005743
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005744To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5745you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005746
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005747 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005748
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005749The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5750image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5751address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5752specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5753command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005754
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005755Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5756TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005926 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5927 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5928 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5929 the Standalone Program.
5930 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5931 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5932 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5933 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5934 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5935 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5936 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5937 being started.
5938 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5939 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5940 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5941 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5942 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5943 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005944
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005945 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5946 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5947 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5948 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5949 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5950 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005951
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005952 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5953 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5954 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005955
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005956 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5957 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5958 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5959 as command interpreter.

5962-------------------------
5963
5964On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5965using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5966as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5967
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005968Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005969kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5970address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5971format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005977One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5978run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5979U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005980

5987application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5988It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5989like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006015Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6016handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6017Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6018The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6019character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6020controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006021
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006022 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers

6084=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006085
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006086Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6087(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006088
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006089Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6090NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6091need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6092Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6093attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6094missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006095
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006096 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6097 # mkdir powerpc
6098 # ln -s powerpc machine
6099 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6100 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006101
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006102Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6103and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006104
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006105Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6106stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6107proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6108tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6113=========================

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006115The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6116implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6117inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6118hardware.

6122---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006123
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006124The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6125starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6126system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6127This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6128is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6129at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6130options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6131models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6132MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6133locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006134
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006135 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006143 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6144 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6145 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6146 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6147 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006148 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006149 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6150 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006152 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6153 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006154 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006155 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6156 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6157 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6158 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006159
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006160 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006161 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6162 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006163 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006164 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6165 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6166 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6167 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6168 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006173It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6174code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006175
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006176* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6177 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006178
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006179* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006180 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6181 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006182
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006183* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6184 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006185
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006186Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6187normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6188turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6189simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6190functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6191functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6192the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6193place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6194reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006195
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006196When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6197relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6198GCC's implementation.

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006209 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6210 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6211 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006215 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6216 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6217 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6218 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6219 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6220 624 text + 127 data).

6247
6248 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6249 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02006265NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6266or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006268Memory Management:
6269------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006270
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006271U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6272MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006273
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006274The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6275controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6276memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6277physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006278
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006279U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6280TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6281booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6282to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006283memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006284configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6285Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006286
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006287Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6288of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006289
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006290So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6291this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006292
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006293 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

6296 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6297 :

6301 :
6302 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6303 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data

6305 :
6306 0x00FD FFFF
6307 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6308 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6309 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6310 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006311
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006312
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006313System Initialization:
6314----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006315
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006316In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006317(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006318configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6319To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6320To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6321initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6322which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6323part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6324the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006325
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006326Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6327preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6328(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6329on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6330programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6331simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6332banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006333
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006334When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6335different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6336bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63370x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6338contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006339
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006340Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6341and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6342Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6343pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006344
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006345Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6346until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6347running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6348new address in RAM.

Albert ARIBAUD48e910f2013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006478* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6479 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006484* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6485 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006486 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006487 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6488 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006490 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6491 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6492 GNU diff.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006494 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6495 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6496 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6497 affected files).
6498
6499 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6500 and compressed attachments must not be used.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006502* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6503 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00006504
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006505* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6506 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006509Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006510
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006511* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6512 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6513 for any of the boards.
6514
6515* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6516 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6517 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006518
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006519* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6520 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6521 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6522 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6523 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6524 modification.

Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006526* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6527 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6528 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6529 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
