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
255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
260 make TQM823L_config
261
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
264directory 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
275See board/sandbox/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
276
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:
295

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000622 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
623
624 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
625 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
626 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
627 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
628 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
629 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
630 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000631 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100632 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

673
674 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
675 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
676 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
677 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and

733
734 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
735
736 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
737 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
738 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
739
John Rigby34e21ee2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000740 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
741
742 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
743 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
744 this variable to initialize the extra register.
745
746 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
747
748 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
749 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
750 variable to flush the UART at init time.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000757- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000758 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
759 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
760 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
761 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000762
763 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
764 port routines must be defined elsewhere
765 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
766

Pali Rohár4a57da32012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000806 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
807 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
808 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
809
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000810 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
811 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
812 environment 'console=serial'.

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000814 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
815 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
816 the "silent" environment variable. See
817 doc/README.silent for more information.

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100830- Console Rx buffer length
831 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
832 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100833 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100834 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
835 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
836 the SMC.
837
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000838- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200839 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
840 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
841 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
842 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
843 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
844 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
845 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200846 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200847 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000848
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200849 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
850 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000851
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000852- Safe printf() functions
853 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
854 the printf() functions. These are defined in
855 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
856 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
857 If this option is not given then these functions will
858 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
859 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
860
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000861- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
862 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
863 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000864 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
865 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000866
867 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
868 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
869 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
870 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
871 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
872 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
873 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
874 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
875 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
877 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
878 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
879
880- Autoboot Command:
881 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
882 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
883 define a command string that is automatically executed
884 when no character is read on the console interface
885 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
886
887 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000888 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
889 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
890 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000891
892 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000893 The value of these goes into the environment as
894 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
895 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200896 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000897
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100898- Bootcount:
899 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
900 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
901 cycle, see:
902 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
903
904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
905 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
906 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
907 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
908 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
909 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
910 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
911 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
912 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
913
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000914- Pre-Boot Commands:
915 CONFIG_PREBOOT
916
917 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
918 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
919 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
920 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
921 entering interactive mode.
922
923 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
924 automatically generated or modified. For an example
925 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
926 modified when the user holds down a certain
927 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
928 booting the systems
929
930- Serial Download Echo Mode:
931 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
932 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
933 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
934 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
935 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
936 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
937 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
938
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500939- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000940 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
941 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200942 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000943
944- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500945 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
946 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000947 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
948 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500949 and augmenting with additional #define's
950 for wanted commands.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001069
1070 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001071 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001072 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1073 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1074 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1075 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other

1080 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1081
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001082- Regular expression support:
1083 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001084 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1085 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1086 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1087 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001088
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001089- Device tree:
1090 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1091 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1092 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1093 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1094 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1095 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1096
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001097 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1098 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001099
1100 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1101 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1102 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1103 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1104 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1105 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001106
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001107 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1108 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1109 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1110 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1111
1112 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1113
1114 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1115 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1116 still use the individual files if you need something more
1117 exotic.
1118
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001119- Watchdog:
1120 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1121 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001122 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1123 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1124 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1125 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1126 available, then no further board specific code should
1127 be needed to use it.
1128
1129 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1130 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1131 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1132 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001133
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001134- U-Boot Version:
1135 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1136 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1137 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1138 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001139 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1140 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001141
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001142- Real-Time Clock:
1143
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001144 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001145 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1146 following options:
1147
1148 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1149 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001150 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001151 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
wdenk1fe2c702003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001152 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001153 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001154 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
wdenkef5fe752003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001155 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krillb27939b2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001156 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenkaeba06f2004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001157 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001158 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001159 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1160 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001161
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001162 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1163 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1164
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001165- GPIO Support:
1166 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001167
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001168 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1169 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1170 pins supported by a particular chip.
1171
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001172 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1173 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1174
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001175- I/O tracing:
1176 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1177 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1178 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1179 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1180 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1181 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1182 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1183 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1184
1185 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1186 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1187 still continue to operate.
1188
1189 iotrace is enabled
1190 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1191 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1192 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1193 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1194 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1195 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1196
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001197- Timestamp Support:
1198
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001199 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1200 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1201 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001202 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001203
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001204- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1205 Zero or more of the following:
1206 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1207 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1208 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1209 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1210 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1211 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1212 disk/part_efi.c
1213 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001214
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001215 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1216 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001217 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001218
1219- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001220 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1221 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001222
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001223 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1224 be performed by calling the function
1225 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1226 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001227
1228- ATAPI Support:
1229 CONFIG_ATAPI
1230

wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001233- LBA48 Support
1234 CONFIG_LBA48
1235
1236 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher0f602e12009-12-03 11:21:21 +01001237 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001238 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1239 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1240
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001241 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001242 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1243 Default is 32bit.
1244
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001245- SCSI Support:
1246 At the moment only there is only support for the
1247 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1248 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1249
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001250 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1251 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1252 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001253 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1254 devices.
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001255 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001256
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001257 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1258 SCSI devices found during the last scan.

1263
1264 CONFIG_E1000_SPI
1265 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1266 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1267 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1268
1269 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1270 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1271 example with the "sspi" command.
1272
1273 CONFIG_CMD_E1000
1274 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1275 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.

1588 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1589 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1590 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1591 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1592 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

Wolfgang Denk825223d2011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001724 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001725 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1726 support, and should also define these other macros:

Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001809 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1810
1811 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1812 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1813 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1814 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1815 a per-section basis.
1816
Simon Glassaf3e2802012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001817 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1818
1819 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1820 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1821 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1822 is slow.

1831 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1832
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001833- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001834
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001835 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1836 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1837 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001838 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001839 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1840 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1841 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1842 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001843
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001844 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1845
1846 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1847 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini958a8f82014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001848 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001849 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1850 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1851 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1852 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1853 there is no need to set this option.
1854
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001855 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1856
1857 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1858 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1859 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1860 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1861 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1862 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1863
1864 Example:
1865 setenv splashpos m,m
1866 => image at center of screen
1867
1868 setenv splashpos 30,20
1869 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1870
1871 setenv splashpos -10,m
1872 => vertically centered image
1873 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1874
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001875- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1876
1877 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1878 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1879 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1880
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001881- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1882
1883 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1884 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1885 bmp command.
1886
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001887- Do compresssing for memory range:
1888 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1889
1890 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1891 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1892
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001893- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001894 CONFIG_GZIP
1895
1896 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1897
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001898 CONFIG_BZIP2
1899
1900 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1901 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1902 compressed images are supported.
1903
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001904 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001905 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001906 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001907
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001908 CONFIG_LZMA
1909
1910 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1911 images is included.
1912
1913 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1914 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1915 formula:
1916
1917 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1918
1919 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1920 and Literal pos bits.
1921
1922 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1923 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1924 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1925 a very small buffer.
1926
1927 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1928 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001929 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001930
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001931 CONFIG_LZO
1932
1933 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1934 is included.
1935

1942
1943 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1944
1945 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1946
1947 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001948 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001949
1950 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1951
1952 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1953 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1954 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1955 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1956
1957 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1958
1959 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1960 command issued before MII status register can be read

1997 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1998 default router where packets to other networks are
1999 sent to.
2000 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2001
2002- Subnet mask:
2003 CONFIG_NETMASK
2004
2005 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or

2013
2014 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2015 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002016 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002017 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2018 multicast group.
2019
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002020- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2021 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2022
2023 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2024 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2025 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2026 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2027 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2028 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2029 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2030 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002031 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002032
2033 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2034 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2035 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2036 4th and following
2037 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002057 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2058 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002059
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002060 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2061 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2062 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2063 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2064 is not available.
2065
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002066 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2067 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2068 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2069 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2070 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2071 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2072 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002073 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002074
2075 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2076 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2077 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002078 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002079 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2080 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002082 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2083
2084 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2085 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2086 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2087 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2088 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2089 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2090 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2091 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2092 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2093 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2094 this delay.
2095
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002096 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2097 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2098 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2099 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2100 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002146- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2147
2148 Several configurations allow to display the current
2149 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2150 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2151 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2152 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2153 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2154 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2155 feature in U-Boot.
2156
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002157 Additional options:
2158
2159 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2160 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2161 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2162 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2163 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2164
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002165 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2166 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2167 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2168 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2169 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2170 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2171
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002172- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2173

2175 on those systems that support this (optional)
2176 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002339- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002340
2341 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2342 provides the following compelling advantages:
2343
2344 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2345 - approved multibus support
2346 - better i2c mux support
2347
2348 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002349
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002350 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2351 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2352 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002353
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002354 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002355 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002356 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2357 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002358 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002359
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002360 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002361
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002362 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002363 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002364
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002365 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002366 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002367 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002368 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002369
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002370 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002371 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002372 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2373 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2374 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002375
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002376 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2377
2378 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2379 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2380 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2381 commands until the slave device responds.
2382
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002383 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002384
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002385 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002386 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2387 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002388
2389 I2C_INIT
2390
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002391 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002392 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002393
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002394 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002395
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002396 I2C_PORT
2397
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002398 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2399 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2400 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002401
2402 I2C_ACTIVE
2403
2404 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2405 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2406 define can be null.
2407
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002408 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2409
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002410 I2C_TRISTATE
2411
2412 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2413 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2414 define can be null.
2415
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002416 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2417
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002418 I2C_READ
2419
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002420 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2421 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002422
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002423 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2424
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002425 I2C_SDA(bit)
2426
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002427 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2428 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002429
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002430 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002431 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002432 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002433
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002434 I2C_SCL(bit)
2435
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002436 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2437 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002438
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002439 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002440 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002441 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002442
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002443 I2C_DELAY
2444
2445 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2446 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002447 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002448 like:
2449
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002450 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002451
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002452 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2453
2454 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2455 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2456 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2457 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2458
2459 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2460 the generic GPIO functions.
2461
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002462 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002463
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002464 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2465 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2466 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2467 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2468 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2469 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2470 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2471 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002472
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002473 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2474
2475 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2476 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2477 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2478 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2479 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2480 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2481 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2482 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2483
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002484 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2485
2486 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2487 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2488 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2489
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002490 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2491
2492 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002493 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2494 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002495 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2496
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002497 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002498
2499 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002500 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002501 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2502 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002503
2504 e.g.
2505 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002506 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002507
2508 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2509
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002510 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002511 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002512
2513 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2514
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002515 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002516
2517 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2518 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2519
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002520 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002521
2522 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2523 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2524
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002525 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002526
2527 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2528 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2529
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002530 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002531
2532 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2533 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2534 specified DTT device.
2535
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002536 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2537
2538 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2539 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2540 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2541 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2542 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2543 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2544 the other.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002564 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2565 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2566 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2567 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2568 defined, the board configuration must define several
2569 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2570 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002571

2573
2574 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2575 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2576 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002621
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002622 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2623 status by the configuration function. This option
2624 will require a board or device specific function to
2625 be written.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002626
2627 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2628
2629 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2630 configuration driver.
2631
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002632 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002633 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2634

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002636
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002637 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2638 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2639 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2640 indicated a CRC error).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002641

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002655
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002656 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002657 200 ms.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002658
2659- Configuration Management:
2660 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2661
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002662 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2663 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002664
2665- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2666
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002667 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2668 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002669 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002670 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2671 protects these variables from casual modification by
2672 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2673 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002674 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002675
2676 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2677 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002678 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002679 these parameters.
2680
2681 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2682 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002683 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002684 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2685 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2686 read-only.]
2687
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002688 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2689 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2690 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2691 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2692
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002693- Protected RAM:
2694 CONFIG_PRAM
2695
2696 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2697 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2698 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2699 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2700 this default value by defining an environment
2701 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2702 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2703 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2704 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2705 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2706 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2707 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2708
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002709 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002710 saveenv
2711
2712 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2713 either, which results in a memory region that will
2714 not be affected by reboots.
2715
2716 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2717 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2718 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2719 following board configurations are known to be
2720 "pRAM-clean":
2721
Wolfgang Denk90326762012-10-24 02:36:15 +00002722 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002725
Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002726- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2727 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2728 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2729 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2730 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2731 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2732 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2733
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002734- Error Recovery:
2735 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2736
2737 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2738 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2739 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002740 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002741 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2742 useful during development since you can try to debug
2743 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2744
2745 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2746
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002747 This variable defines the number of retries for
2748 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2749 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2750 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002751
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002752 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2753
2754 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2755
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002756 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2757
2758 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2759 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2760 try longer timeout such as
2761 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2762
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002763- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002764 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002765
2766 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2767
Wolfgang Denk018147d2006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002768 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2769 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002770
2771
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002772 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002773
2774 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2775 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2776 powerful command line syntax like
2777 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2778 constructs ("shell scripts").
2779
2780 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2781 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2782
2783
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002784 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002785
2786 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2787 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2788 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2789
2790 Note:
2791
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002792 In the current implementation, the local variables
2793 space and global environment variables space are
2794 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2795 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2796 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2797 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2798 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002799
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002800 Global environment variables are those you use
2801 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2802 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2803 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002804
2805 To store commands and special characters in a
2806 variable, please use double quotation marks
2807 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2808 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2809 symbols.
2810
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002811- Commandline Editing and History:
2812 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2813
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002814 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkc80857e2006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002815 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002816
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002817- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002818 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2819
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002820 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2821 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002822 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002823
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002824 For example, place something like this in your
2825 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002826
2827 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2828 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2829 "myvar2=value2\0"
2830
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002831 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2832 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2833 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2834 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002835 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002836 You better know what you are doing here.
2837
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002838 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2839 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002840 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002841 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002842
Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002843 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2844
2845 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2846 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2847 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2848
2849 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2850
2851 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2852 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2853 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2854 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2855 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2856
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002857 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2858
2859 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2860 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2861 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2862
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002863 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2864
2865 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2866 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2867 that so that the environment is not available until
2868 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2869 this is instead controlled by the value of
2870 /config/load-environment.
2871
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002872- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002873 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2874
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002875 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2876 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2877 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002878
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002879- Serial Flash support
2880 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2881
2882 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2883 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2884
2885 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2886 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2887 commands.
2888
2889 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2890 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2891 flash is present on the system.
2892
2893 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2894 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2895 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2896 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2897
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002898 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2899
2900 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2901 test ('sf test').
2902
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekic6d173d2013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302903 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2904
2905 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2906 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2907
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302908 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2909
2910 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2911 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2912 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2913
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002914- SystemACE Support:
2915 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2916
2917 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2918 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002919 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002920 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002921
2922 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002923 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002924
2925 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2926 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2927
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002928- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2929 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2930
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002931 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002932 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002933 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002934 number generator is used.
2935
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002936 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2937 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2938 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2939
2940 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002941 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2942 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2943 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2944 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2945 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2946 but sometimes that is not allowed.

Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002948- Hashing support:
2949 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2950
2951 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2952 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2953
2954 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2955
2956 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2957 size a little.
2958
2959 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2960 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2961
2962 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2963 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2964
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002965- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2966 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2967 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2968 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2969
2970 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2971 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2972 a boot from specific media.
2973
2974 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2975 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2976 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2977 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2978 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2979
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002980- Signing support:
2981 CONFIG_RSA

Detlev Zundel49dc73b2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01002984 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002985
2986 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2987 option.

2992 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2993 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2994
2995 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2996 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2997 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2998 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2999 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3000 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3001 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3002 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3003 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3004 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3005 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3006 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3007 the bootcounter.
3008 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

3012
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003013 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3014 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3015 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3016 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3017 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3018 the following checkpoints are implemented:

Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003020- Detailed boot stage timing
3021 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3022 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3023 of the boot process.
3024
3025 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3026 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3027 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3028 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3029 the limit, recording will stop.
3030
3031 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3032 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3033
3034 Timer summary in microseconds:
3035 Mark Elapsed Stage
3036 0 0 reset
3037 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start

3044
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003045 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3046 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3047 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3048
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003049 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3050 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3051 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3052 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3053 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3054 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3055 For example:
3056
3057 bootstage {
3058 154 {
3059 name = "board_init_f";
3060 mark = <3575678>;
3061 };
3062 170 {
3063 name = "lcd";
3064 accum = <33482>;
3065 };
3066 };
3067
3068 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003571- Interrupt support (PPC):
3572
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003573 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3574 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003575 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003576 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003577 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003578 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003579 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003580 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3581 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3582 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003584- General:
3585
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003586 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3587 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3588 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003589 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003590 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3591 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3592 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003593
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003594 If there are no modem init strings in the
3595 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3596 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003597 suppressed, though.

Helmut Raigerd5a184b2011-10-20 04:19:47 +00003601Board initialization settings:
3602------------------------------
3603
3604During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3605to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3606before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3607following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3608architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3609typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3610
3611- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3612- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3613- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3614- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003646
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003647- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003648 If the board specific function
3649 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3650 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003651 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3652
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003653- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003654 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003655
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003656- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003657 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3658
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003659- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:

3661 simple memory test.
3662
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003663- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003664 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003665
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003666- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5958f4a2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003667 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3668 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3669
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003670- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3671 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003672 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003673 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003674 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3675 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3676 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003677 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003678 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003679 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003680
3681 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3682 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3683 be touched.
3684
3685 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3686 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3687 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3688 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3689 problems.
3690
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003691- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:

3703
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003704- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003705 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3706 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk0708bc62010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003707 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003708 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003709
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003710- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003711 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3712 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3713 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3714 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003715
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003716- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003717 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3718
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003719- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003720 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3721 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003722 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003723 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3724
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003725- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003726 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3727 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003728 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3729 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003730 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003731 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003732 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003733 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3734 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3735 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003736
John Rigbyeea8e692010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003737- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3738 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3739 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3740 is enabled.
3741
3742- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3743 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3744 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3745
3746- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3747 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3748 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3749
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003750- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003751 Max number of Flash memory banks
3752
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003753- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003754 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3755
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003756- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003757 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3758
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003759- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003760 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3761
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003762- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003763 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3764
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003765- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003766 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3767
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003768- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003769 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3770 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3771
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003772- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003773
3774 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3775 without this option such a download has to be
3776 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3777 copy from RAM to flash.
3778
3779 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3780 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003781 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3782 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003783 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3784
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003785- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003786 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003787 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3788
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD8d94c232008-08-13 01:40:42 +02003789- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003790 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3791 in the drivers directory
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003792
Piotr Ziecik3e939e92008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003793- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3794 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3795 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3796 to the MTD layer.
3797
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003798- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski183284f2008-04-03 13:36:02 +02003799 Use buffered writes to flash.
3800
3801- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3802 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3803 write commands.
3804
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003805- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roesec443fe92005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003806 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3807 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3808 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3809 optionally available.
3810
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003811- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3812 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3813 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3814 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3815
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003816- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3817 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3818 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3819 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3820 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3821 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3822 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3823 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3824
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003825- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003826 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3827 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003828 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3829 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003830 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003831 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3832
Wolfgang Denk460a9ff2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02003833- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3834
Wolfgang Denk1136f692010-10-27 22:48:30 +02003835 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3836 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3837 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3838 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3839 lib/hashtable.c for details.

3871 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3872
3873 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3874 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3875 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3876 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3877 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3878 ".flags" variable.
3879
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003880- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE

3882 access flags.
3883
Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003884- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3885 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3886 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3887 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3888 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3889 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3890 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3891 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3892 your board please report the problem and send patches!

3896 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3897 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003899The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3900of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3901following configurations:
3902
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003903- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3904
3905 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3906 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3907
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003908- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003909
3910 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3911
3912 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3913 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3914 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3915 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3916 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3917 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3918 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3919 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3920 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3921 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3922 between U-Boot and the environment.
3923
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003924 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003925
3926 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3927 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3928 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3929 for this sector is given here.
3930
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003931 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003932
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003933 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003934
3935 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3936 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003937 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003938
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003939 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003940
3941 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3942
3943
3944 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3945 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3946 the environment.
3947
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003948 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003949
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003950 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003951 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003952 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3953 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3954
3955 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3956 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3957 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3958 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3959 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3960 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3961 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3962 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3963 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3964
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003965 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3966 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003967
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003968 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003969 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003970 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003971 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003972
3973BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3974source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3975accordingly!
3976
3977
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003978- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003979
3980 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3981 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3982 environment.
3983
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003984 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3985 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003986
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003987 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003988 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3989 can just be read and written to, without any special
3990 provision.
3991
3992BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3993in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003994console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003995U-Boot will hang.
3996
3997Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3998environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3999keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4000to save the current settings.
4001
4002
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004003- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004004
4005 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4006 device and a driver for it.
4007
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004008 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4009 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004010
4011 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4012 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4013
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004014 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004015 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4016 The default address is zero.
4017
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004018 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004019 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4020 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4021 would require six bits.
4022
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004023 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004024 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004025 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004026
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004027 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004028 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4029 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4030
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004031 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004032 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4033 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4034 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4035 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4036 byte chips.
4037
4038 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4039 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4040 in the chip address.
4041
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004042 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004043 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4044
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004045 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4046 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4047 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4048
4049 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4050 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4051 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4052 EEPROM. For example:
4053
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004054 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004055
4056 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4057 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00004061 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004062 want to use for the environment.
4063

4066 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004067
4068 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4069 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4070 at the specified address.
4071
Wu, Josh76db7bf2014-07-01 19:30:13 +08004072- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4073
4074 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4075 want to use for the environment.
4076
4077 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4078 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4079
4080 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4081 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4082 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4083
4084 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4085
4086 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4087
4088 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4089
4090 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4091 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4092 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4093 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4094 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4095
4096 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4097 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4098
4099 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4100
4101 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4102
4103 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4104
4105 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4106
4107 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4108
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004109- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4110
4111 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4112 want to use for the local device's environment.
4113
4114 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4115 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4116
4117 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4118 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4119 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004120 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004121
4122BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4123"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004124environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4125but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDdda84dd2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02004127- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004128
4129 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4130 for the environment.
4131
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004132 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4133 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004134
4135 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004136 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4137 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004141 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004142 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4143 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004144 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004145 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4146
4147 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4148
4149 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4150 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4151 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4152 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4153 the range to be avoided.
4154
4155 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004156
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004157 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4158 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4159 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4160 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4161 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004162
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004163- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4164
4165 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4166 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4167 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4168
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004169- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4170
4171 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4172 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4173 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4174
4175 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4176
4177 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4178
4179 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4180
4181 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4182 environment in.
4183
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004184 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4185
4186 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4187 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.

4191 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4192
4193 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4194 when storing the env in UBI.
4195
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004196- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4197 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4198
4199 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4200
4201 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4202
4203 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4204
4205 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4206 be as following:
4207
4208 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4209 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4210 partition table.
4211 - "D:0": device D.
4212 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4213 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4214 table.
4215 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4216 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4217 partition table then means device D.
4218
4219 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4220
4221 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4222 envrionment.
4223
4224 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4225 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4226
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004227- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4228
4229 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4230 environment.
4231
4232 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4233
4234 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4235
4236 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4237
4238 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4239 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4240 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4241
4242 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4243 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4244
4245 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4246 area within the specified MMC device.
4247
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004248 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4249 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4250 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4251 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4252 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4253 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4254 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4255
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004256 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4257 MMC sector boundary.
4258
4259 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4260
4261 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4262 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4263 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4264 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4265
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004266 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4267 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4268
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004269 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4270 an MMC sector boundary.
4271
4272 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4273
4274 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4275 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4276 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4277
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004278- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004279
4280 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4281 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4282 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4283 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4284 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4285 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4286 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4287
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004288Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004289has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004290created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004291until then to read environment variables.
4292
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004293The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4294is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4295with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4296necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4297"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4298have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004299
4300Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4301the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004302use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004308 also needs to be defined.

4315 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4316 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004343- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4344 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4345 PowerPC SOCs.
4346
4347- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4348 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4349 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4350
4351 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4352 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4353
4354- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4355 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4356 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004357 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004358 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4359 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4360 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4361
4362 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4363 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4364
4365- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004366 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4367 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004368 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4369 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4370
4371- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4372 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4373 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4374 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4375
4376- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4377 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4378 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4593 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4594
4595- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4596 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004597 to the given FEC; i. e.
4598 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004599 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4600
4601 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4602
4603- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4604 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4605 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4606
4607- CONFIG_RMII
4608 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4609 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4610 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.

Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004641 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004642 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4643 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4644 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004645
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004646 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4647 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4648 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4649 these initializations itself.

4663 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4664 previous 4k of the .text section.
4665
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004666- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4667 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4668 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4669 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4670 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4671 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4672 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4673 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4674
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004675- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4676 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4677 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4678 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4679 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4680
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004681- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4682 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4683 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

4700
4701The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4702loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4703This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4704are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4705within that device.

4715 is also specified.
4716
4717- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4718 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4719 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4720 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4721 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4722
4723- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4724 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4725 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4726 virtual address in NOR flash.
4727
4728- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4729 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4730 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4731
4732- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4733 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4734 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4735
4736- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4737 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4738 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.

Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004740- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4741 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4742 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004743 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4744 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in

4748---------------------------------------------------------
4749The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4750"firmware".
4751This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4752are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4753within that device.
4754
4755- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4756 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4757
4758- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4759 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4760 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4761 is also specified.
4762
4763- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4764 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4765 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4766 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4767 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4768
4769- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4770 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4771 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the

4775======================
4776
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004777Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4778and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4779all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4780(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4781recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4782which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004783
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004784If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4785have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4786you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4787Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4788necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004789
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004790 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4791 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004792
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004793Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4794 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4795 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4796 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4797
4798 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4799
4800 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4801 be executed on computers running Windows.
4802
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004803U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4804sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004805is done by typing:
4806
4807 make NAME_config
4808
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004809where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004810rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004811
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004812Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4813 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4814 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4815 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004816 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004817
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004818 make TQM823L_config
4819 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004820
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004821 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4822 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004823
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004824 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004825
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004826
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004827Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4828images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004829
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004830- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4831- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4832- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004833
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004834By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4835in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4836this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4837
48381. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4839
4840 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4841 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4842 make O=/tmp/build all
4843
48442. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4845
4846 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4847 make distclean
4848 make NAME_config
4849 make all
4850
4851Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4852variable.
4853
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004854
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004855Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4856for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4857native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004858
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004859
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004860If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4861to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4862steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004863
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000048641. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004865 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4866 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000048672. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4868 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4869 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
48703. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4871 your board
48723. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4873 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
48744. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
48755. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4876 to be installed on your target system.
48776. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4878 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004881Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4882==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004883
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004884If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4885or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004886provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4887the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004888official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004889
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004890But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4891cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004892the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4893just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004894for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4895select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4896environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4897you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004898
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004899 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004900
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004901or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004902
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004903 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004904
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004905When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4906U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4907setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4908built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4909<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4910location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4911variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004912
4913 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4914 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4915 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4916
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004917With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4918log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4919during the whole build process.

4981
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004982Environment Variables:
4983======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004984
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004985U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4986can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004987
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004988Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4989"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4990without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4991environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4992working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4993environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004994
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004995Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4996
4997List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004998
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004999 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005000

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005002
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005003 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005004
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005005 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005006
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005007 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005008
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005009 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5010 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5011 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5012 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5013 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5014 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005015 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5016 bootm_mapsize.
5017
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005018 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005019 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5020 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5021 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5022 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5023 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5024 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005025
5026 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5027 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5028 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5029 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5030 environment variable.
5031
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005032 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5033 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5034 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5035
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005036 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5037 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5038 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5039 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005040
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005041 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5042 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5043 be automatically started (by internally calling
5044 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005045
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005046 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5047 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5048 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5049 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5050 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005051
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005052 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5053 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005054 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5055 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5056 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5057 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5058 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5059 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5060 access it during the boot procedure.
5061
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005062 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5063 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5064 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5065 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5066 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5067 must be accessible by the kernel.
5068
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005069 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5070 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5071 defined.
5072
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005073 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5074 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5075 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5076 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5077 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5078
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005079 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5080 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5081 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5082 is usually what you want since it allows for
5083 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5084 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005085 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005086 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5087 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5088 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5089 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005090
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005091 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5092 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5093 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5094 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5095 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5096 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005097
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005098 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005099
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005100 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5101 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5102 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5103 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5104 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5105 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5106 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005133 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5134 available network interfaces.
5135 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5136
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005137 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005138 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5139 When set to "once" the network operation will
5140 fail when all the available network interfaces
5141 are tried once without success.
5142 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5143 themselves.

Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005147 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5148 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5149 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5150 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5151 is silent.
5152
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005153 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's

5155
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005156 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5157 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5158
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005159 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5160 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5161
5162 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5163 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5164 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5165 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5166 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5167 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5168 with unreliable TFTP servers.

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005174The following image location variables contain the location of images
5175used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5176not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5177variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5178server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5179loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5180flash or offset in NAND flash.
5181
5182*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5183boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5184boards use these variables for other purposes.

5194updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5195depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005196
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005197 bootfile - see above
5198 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5199 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5200 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5201 hostname - Target hostname
5202 ipaddr - see above
5203 netmask - Subnet Mask
5204 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5205 serverip - see above

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005208There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005209
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005210 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5211 as type string and/or serial number
5212 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005213
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005214These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5215the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5216once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005217
5218
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005219Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005220
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005221 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5222 with the "version" command. This variable is
5223 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005230Callback functions for environment variables:
5231---------------------------------------------
5232
5233For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5234when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5235be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5236deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5237effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5238
5239The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5240U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5241
5242These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5243static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5244in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5245associations. The list must be in the following format:
5246
5247 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5248 list = entry[,list]
5249
5250If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5251Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5252
5253Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5254with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5255override any association in the static list. You can define
5256CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5257".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5258

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005260Command Line Parsing:
5261=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005262
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005263There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5264the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005265
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005266Old, simple command line parser:
5267--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005268
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005269- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5270- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005271- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005272- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5273 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005274 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005275- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5276 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005277
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005278Hush shell:
5279-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005280
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005281- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5282 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5283 until...do...done, ...
5284- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5285 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5286 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5287 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005288
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005289General rules:
5290--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005291
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005292(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5293 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5294 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5295 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005296
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005297(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005298 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005299 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5300 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005301
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005302Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5303=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005304
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005305Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005306such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5307"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005308
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005309Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5310MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5311"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005312
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005313If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5314in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5315ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5316variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005317
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005318o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5319 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005320
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005321o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5322 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5323 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005324
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005325o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5326 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005327
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005328o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5329 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5330 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005331
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005332o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5333 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005334
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005335If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005336will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005337may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5338The naming convention is as follows:
5339"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005340
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005341Image Formats:
5342==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005343
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005344U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5345images in two formats:
5346
5347New uImage format (FIT)
5348-----------------------
5349
5350Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5351to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5352components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5353SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5354
5355
5356Old uImage format
5357-----------------
5358
5359Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5360preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5361details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005362

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005382Linux Support:
5383==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005384
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005385Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5386easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5387U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005388
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005389U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5390special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5391"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5392instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5393serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005394
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005395- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5396 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5397 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005398
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005399- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5400 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005401
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005402- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5403 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5404 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5405 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5406 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5407 software is easier now.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005410Linux HOWTO:
5411============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005412
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005413Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5414---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005415
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005416U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5417configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5418(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5419Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005420
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005421But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005422
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005423Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5424include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005425Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5426and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005427as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005428
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005429Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5430If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5431is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5432doc/driver-model.
5433
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005434
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005435Configuring the Linux kernel:
5436-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005437
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005438No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5439device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005440
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005441
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005442Building a Linux Image:
5443-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005444
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005445With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5446not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5447"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5448U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5449which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5450100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005451
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005452Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005453
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005454 make TQM850L_config
5455 make oldconfig
5456 make dep
5457 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005458
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005459The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5460encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5461CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005462
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005463* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005464
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005465* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005466
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005467 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5468 -R .note -R .comment \
5469 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005470
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005471* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005472
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005473 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005474
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005475* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005476
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005477 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5478 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5479 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005480
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005481
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005482The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5483with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5484combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5485byte header containing information about target architecture,
5486operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5487stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005488
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005489"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5490print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005491
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005492In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5493contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5494checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005495
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005496 tools/mkimage -l image
5497 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005498
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005499The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5500from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005501
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005502 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5503 -n name -d data_file image
5504 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5505 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5506 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5507 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5508 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5509 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5510 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5511 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005512
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005513Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5514address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5515kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005516
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005517- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5518- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005519
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005520So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005521

5575option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5576option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5577from the image:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005584Installing a Linux Image:
5585-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005586
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005587To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5588you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005589
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005590 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005591
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005592The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5593image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5594address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5595specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5596command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005597
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005598Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005764More About U-Boot Image Types:
5765------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005766
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005767U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005768
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005769 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5770 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5771 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5772 the Standalone Program.
5773 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5774 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5775 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5776 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5777 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5778 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5779 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5780 being started.
5781 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5782 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5783 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5784 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5785 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5786 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005787
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005788 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5789 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5790 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5791 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5792 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5793 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005794
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005795 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5796 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5797 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005798
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005799 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5800 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5801 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5802 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005804Booting the Linux zImage:
5805-------------------------
5806
5807On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5808using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5809as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5810
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005811Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005812kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5813address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5814format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5818=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005819
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005820One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5821run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5822U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.

5830application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5831It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5832like that:

5859handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5860Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5861The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5862character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5863controlled by the following keys:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005929Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5930(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005931
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005932Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5933NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5934need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5935Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5936attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5937missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005938
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005939 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5940 # mkdir powerpc
5941 # ln -s powerpc machine
5942 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5943 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005944
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005945Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5946and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005947
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005948Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5949stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5950proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5951tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

5956=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005957
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005958The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5959implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5960inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5961hardware.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005964Initial Stack, Global Data:
5965---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005966
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005967The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5968starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5969system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5970This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5971is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5972at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5973options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5974models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5975MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5976locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005978 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005986 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5987 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5988 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5989 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5990 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005991 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005992 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5993 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005994
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005995 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5996 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005997 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005998 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5999 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6000 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6001 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006002
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006003 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006004 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6005 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006006 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006007 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6008 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6009 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6010 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6011 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006016It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6017code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006018
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006019* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6020 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006021
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006022* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006023 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6024 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006025
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006026* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6027 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006028
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006029Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6030normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6031turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6032simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6033functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6034functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6035the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6036place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6037reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006038
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006039When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6040relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6041GCC's implementation.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006043For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6044 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006045 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006046 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6047 R5-R10: parameter passing
6048 R13: small data area pointer
6049 R30: GOT pointer
6050 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006052 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6053 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6054 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006058 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6059 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6060 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6061 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6062 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6063 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006111Memory Management:
6112------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006113
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006114U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6115MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006116
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006117The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6118controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6119memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6120physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006121
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006122U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6123TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6124booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6125to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006126memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006127configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6128Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006129
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006130Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6131of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006132
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006133So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6134this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006135
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006136 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006156System Initialization:
6157----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006158
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006159In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006160(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006161configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6162To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6163To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6164initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6165which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6166part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6167the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006168
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006169Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6170preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6171(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6172on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6173programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6174simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6175banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006176
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006177When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6178different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6179bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
61800x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create

6184and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6185Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6186pages, and the final stack is set up.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006188Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6189until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6190running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6191new address in RAM.

6269-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006270
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006271All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006272coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006273"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006274
6275Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6276MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6277reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6278sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006279
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006280Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6281Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6282in your code.
wdenkad276f22004-01-04 16:28:35 +00006283
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006284Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6285- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006286- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006287- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006288- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006289- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006290
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006291Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6292with a request to reformat the changes.

6296-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006297
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006298Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6299establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6300may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006301
Magnus Liljaf3b287b2008-08-06 19:32:33 +02006302Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.

Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006304Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6305see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6306
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006307When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6308it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006309
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006310* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6311 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6312 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006313
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006314* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6315 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006316
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006317* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006318
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006319* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006320
Albert ARIBAUD48e910f2013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006321* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6322 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006323
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006324* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6325 document these in the README file.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006326
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006327* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6328 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006329 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006330 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6331 with some other mail clients.
wdenkca9bc762003-07-15 07:45:49 +00006332
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006333 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6334 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6335 GNU diff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006336
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006337 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6338 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6339 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6340 affected files).
6341
6342 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6343 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006344
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006345* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6346 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00006347
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006348* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6349 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006352Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006353
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006354* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6355 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6356 for any of the boards.
6357
6358* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6359 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6360 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006361
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006362* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6363 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6364 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6365 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6366 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6367 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006368
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006369* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6370 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6371 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6372 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
