| 24 | Summary: |
| 25 | ======== |
| 26 | |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 27 | This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for |
| 28 | Embedded boards based on PowerPC and ARM processors, which can be |
| 29 | installed in a boot ROM and used to initialize and test the hardware |
| 30 | or to download and run application code. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | |
| 32 | The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some |
| 34 | header files in common, and special provision has been made to |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 35 | support booting of Linux images. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Some attention has been paid to make this software easily |
| 38 | configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are |
| 39 | implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to |
| 40 | add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used |
| 41 | code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can |
| 42 | load and run it dynamically. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Status: |
| 46 | ======= |
| 47 | |
| 48 | In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 49 | Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 50 | "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. |

| 85 | Names and Spelling: |
| 86 | =================== |
| 87 | |
| 88 | The "official" name of this project is "Das U-Boot". The spelling |
| 89 | "U-Boot" shall be used in all written text (documentation, comments |
| 90 | in source files etc.). Example: |
| 91 | |
| 92 | This is the README file for the U-Boot project. |
| 93 | |
| 94 | File names etc. shall be based on the string "u-boot". Examples: |
| 95 | |
| 96 | include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h |
| 97 | |
| 98 | #include <asm/u-boot.h> |
| 99 | |
| 100 | Variable names, preprocessor constants etc. shall be either based on |
| 101 | the string "u_boot" or on "U_BOOT". Example: |

| 108 | =========== |
| 109 | |
| 110 | U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a |
| 111 | sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2", |
| 112 | sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4". |
| 113 | |
| 114 | The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development |
| 115 | between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of |
| 116 | U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0". |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 164 | Software Configuration: |
| 165 | ======================= |
| 166 | |
| 167 | Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the |
| 168 | rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. |
| 169 | |
| 170 | There are two classes of configuration variables: |
| 171 | |
| 172 | * Configuration _OPTIONS_: |
| 173 | These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with |
| 174 | "CONFIG_". |
| 175 | |
| 176 | * Configuration _SETTINGS_: |
| 177 | These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if |
| 178 | you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with |
| 179 | "CFG_". |
| 180 | |
| 181 | Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even |
| 182 | identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to |
| 183 | do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic |
| 184 | links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards |
| 185 | as an example here. |
| 186 | |
| 187 | |
| 188 | Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: |
| 189 | --------------------------------------------------- |
| 190 | |
| 191 | For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default |
| 192 | configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". |
| 193 | |
| 194 | Example: For a TQM823L module type: |
| 195 | |
| 196 | cd u-boot |
| 197 | make TQM823L_config |
| 198 | |
| 199 | For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the cpu type as well; |
| 200 | e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent |
| 201 | directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. |
| 202 | |
| 203 | |
| 204 | Configuration Options: |
| 205 | ---------------------- |
| 206 | |
| 207 | Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all |
| 208 | such information is kept in a configuration file |
| 209 | "include/configs/<board_name>.h". |
| 210 | |
| 211 | Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in |
| 212 | "include/configs/TQM823L.h". |
| 213 | |
| 214 | |
wdenk | 1272e23 | 2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 215 | Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux |
| 216 | kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to |
| 217 | build a config tool - later. |
| 218 | |

| 995 | is added to the CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK. |
| 996 | |
| 997 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable |
| 998 | to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they |
| 999 | need the hostname of the DHCP requester. |
| 1000 | If CONFIG_BOOP_SEND_HOSTNAME is added to the |
| 1001 | CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK, the content of the "hostname" |

| 1256 | |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1257 | If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot |

| 1260 | - Vendor Parameter Protection: |
| 1261 | |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1262 | U-Boot considers the values of the environment |
| 1263 | variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1264 | "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1265 | are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and |
| 1266 | protects these variables from casual modification by |
| 1267 | the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, |
| 1268 | and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can |
| 1269 | change this behviour: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1270 | |
| 1271 | If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config |
| 1272 | file, the write protection for vendor parameters is |
wdenk | cc1e256 | 2003-03-06 13:39:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1273 | completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1274 | these parameters. |
| 1275 | |
| 1276 | Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR |
| 1277 | _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default |
| 1278 | ethernet address is installed in the environment, |
| 1279 | which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The |
| 1280 | serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains |
| 1281 | read-only.] |
| 1282 | |
| 1283 | - Protected RAM: |
| 1284 | CONFIG_PRAM |
| 1285 | |
| 1286 | Define this variable to enable the reservation of |
| 1287 | "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten |
| 1288 | by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of |
| 1289 | kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite |
| 1290 | this default value by defining an environment |
| 1291 | variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to |
| 1292 | reserve. Note that the board info structure will |
| 1293 | still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is |
| 1294 | reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will |
| 1295 | automatically be defined to hold the amount of |
| 1296 | remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot |
| 1297 | argument to Linux, for instance like that: |
| 1298 | |
| 1299 | setenv bootargs ... mem=\$(mem) |
| 1300 | saveenv |
| 1301 | |
| 1302 | This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, |
| 1303 | either, which results in a memory region that will |
| 1304 | not be affected by reboots. |
| 1305 | |
| 1306 | *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic |
| 1307 | detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that |
| 1308 | this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the |
| 1309 | following board configurations are known to be |
| 1310 | "pRAM-clean": |
| 1311 | |
| 1312 | ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, |
| 1313 | HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC, |
| 1314 | PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260 |
| 1315 | |
| 1316 | - Error Recovery: |
| 1317 | CONFIG_PANIC_HANG |
| 1318 | |
| 1319 | Define this variable to stop the system in case of a |
| 1320 | fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. |
| 1321 | This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded |
| 1322 | system where you want to system to reboot |
| 1323 | automatically as fast as possible, but it may be |
| 1324 | useful during development since you can try to debug |
| 1325 | the conditions that lead to the situation. |
| 1326 | |
| 1327 | CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT |
| 1328 | |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1329 | This variable defines the number of retries for |
| 1330 | network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP |
| 1331 | before giving up the operation. If not defined, a |
| 1332 | default value of 5 is used. |

| 1340 | |
| 1341 | Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from |
| 1342 | Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling |
| 1343 | powerful command line syntax like |
| 1344 | if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' |
| 1345 | constructs ("shell scripts"). |
| 1346 | |
| 1347 | If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour |
| 1348 | with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. |
| 1349 | |
| 1350 | |
| 1351 | CFG_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 |

wdenk | 57b2d80 | 2003-06-27 21:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1359 | In the current implementation, the local variables |

| 1361 | separated. Local variables are those you define by |
| 1362 | simply typing `name=value'. To access a local |
| 1363 | variable later on, you have write `$name' or |
| 1364 | `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable |

wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1367 | Global environment variables are those you use |
| 1368 | setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored |

| 1510 | |
wdenk | 1ebf41e | 2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1511 | There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() |
| 1512 | for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() |
| 1513 | for cpu specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() |
| 1514 | should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If |
| 1515 | cpu resets decrementer automatically after interrupt |
| 1516 | (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. |
| 1517 | timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for cpu |
| 1518 | specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led |
| 1519 | / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from |
| 1520 | general timer_interrupt(). |

| 1652 | copy from RAM to flash. |
| 1653 | |
| 1654 | The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since |
| 1655 | you can check if the download worked before you erase |
| 1656 | the flash, but in some situations (when sytem RAM is |

| 1670 | ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value |
| 1671 | to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all |
| 1672 | buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface |
| 1673 | on high ethernet traffic. |
| 1674 | Defaults to 4 if not defined. |
| 1675 | |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1676 | The following definitions that deal with the placement and management |
| 1677 | of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the |
| 1678 | following configurations: |
| 1679 | |
| 1680 | - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: |
| 1681 | |
| 1682 | Define this if the environment is in flash memory. |
| 1683 | |
| 1684 | a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is |
| 1685 | "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This |
| 1686 | happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot |
| 1687 | sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller |
| 1688 | sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a |
| 1689 | layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In |
| 1690 | such a case you would place the environment in one of the |
| 1691 | 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With |
| 1692 | "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the |
| 1693 | environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap |
| 1694 | between U-Boot and the environment. |
| 1695 | |
| 1696 | - CFG_ENV_OFFSET: |
| 1697 | |
| 1698 | Offset of environment data (variable area) to the |
| 1699 | beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot |
| 1700 | type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset |
| 1701 | for this sector is given here. |
| 1702 | |
| 1703 | CFG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CFG_FLASH_BASE. |
| 1704 | |
| 1705 | - CFG_ENV_ADDR: |
| 1706 | |
| 1707 | This is just another way to specify the start address of |
| 1708 | the flash sector containing the environment (instead of |
| 1709 | CFG_ENV_OFFSET). |
| 1710 | |
| 1711 | - CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: |
| 1712 | |
| 1713 | Size of the sector containing the environment. |
| 1714 | |
| 1715 | |
| 1716 | b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. |
| 1717 | In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for |
| 1718 | the environment. |
| 1719 | |
| 1720 | - CFG_ENV_SIZE: |
| 1721 | |
| 1722 | If you use this in combination with CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH |
| 1723 | and CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part |
| 1724 | of this flash sector for the environment. This saves |
| 1725 | memory for the RAM copy of the environment. |
| 1726 | |
| 1727 | It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this |
| 1728 | when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, |
| 1729 | since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used |
| 1730 | for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is |
| 1731 | STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: |
| 1732 | updating the environment in flash makes it always |
| 1733 | necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes |
| 1734 | wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in |
| 1735 | RAM, your target system will be dead. |
| 1736 | |
| 1737 | - CFG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND |
| 1738 | CFG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND |
| 1739 | |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1740 | These settings describe a second storage area used to hold |
| 1741 | a redundand copy of the environment data, so that there is |
wdenk | b02744a | 2003-04-05 00:53:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1742 | a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1743 | a "saveenv" operation. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1744 | |
| 1745 | BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the |
| 1746 | source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* |
| 1747 | accordingly! |
| 1748 | |
| 1749 | |
| 1750 | - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: |
| 1751 | |
| 1752 | Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device |
| 1753 | (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the |
| 1754 | environment. |
| 1755 | |
| 1756 | - CFG_ENV_ADDR: |
| 1757 | - CFG_ENV_SIZE: |
| 1758 | |
| 1759 | These two #defines are used to determin the memory area you |
| 1760 | want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory |
| 1761 | can just be read and written to, without any special |
| 1762 | provision. |
| 1763 | |
| 1764 | BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early |
| 1765 | in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the |
| 1766 | console baudrate). You *MUST* have mappend your NVRAM area then, or |
| 1767 | U-Boot will hang. |
| 1768 | |
| 1769 | Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the |
| 1770 | environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to |
| 1771 | keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" |
| 1772 | to save the current settings. |
| 1773 | |
| 1774 | |
| 1775 | - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: |
| 1776 | |
| 1777 | Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access |
| 1778 | device and a driver for it. |
| 1779 | |
| 1780 | - CFG_ENV_OFFSET: |
| 1781 | - CFG_ENV_SIZE: |
| 1782 | |
| 1783 | These two #defines specify the offset and size of the |
| 1784 | environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. |
| 1785 | |
| 1786 | - CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: |
| 1787 | If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. |
| 1788 | The default address is zero. |
| 1789 | |
| 1790 | - CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: |
| 1791 | If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a |
| 1792 | single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example |
| 1793 | would require six bits. |
| 1794 | |
| 1795 | - CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: |
| 1796 | If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between |
wdenk | 544e973 | 2004-02-06 23:19:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1797 | page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1798 | |
| 1799 | - CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: |
| 1800 | The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note |
| 1801 | that this is NOT the chip address length! |
| 1802 | |
wdenk | 20c98a6 | 2004-04-23 20:32:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1803 | - CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: |
| 1804 | EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones |
| 1805 | like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of |
| 1806 | address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit |
| 1807 | slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 |
| 1808 | byte chips. |
| 1809 | |
| 1810 | Note that we consider the length of the address field to |
| 1811 | still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden |
| 1812 | in the chip address. |

| 1843 | |
| 1844 | Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The |
| 1845 | area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment |
| 1846 | is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte |
| 1847 | scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization |
| 1848 | calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems |
| 1849 | to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the |
| 1850 | start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. |
| 1851 | |
| 1852 | Please note that the environment is read-only as long as the monitor |
| 1853 | has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been |
| 1854 | created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r() |
| 1855 | until then to read environment variables. |

wdenk | 8dba050 | 2003-03-31 16:34:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1857 | The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor |
| 1858 | is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working |
| 1859 | with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is |
| 1860 | necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the |
| 1861 | "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't |
| 1862 | have any device yet where we could complain.] |

| 2060 | ====================== |
| 2061 | |
| 2062 | Building U-Boot has been tested in native PPC environments (on a |
| 2063 | PowerBook G3 running LinuxPPC 2000) and in cross environments |
| 2064 | (running RedHat 6.x and 7.x Linux on x86, Solaris 2.6 on a SPARC, and |
| 2065 | NetBSD 1.5 on x86). |
| 2066 | |
| 2067 | If you are not using a native PPC environment, it is assumed that you |
| 2068 | have the GNU cross compiling tools available in your path and named |
| 2069 | with a prefix of "powerpc-linux-". If this is not the case, (e.g. if |
| 2070 | you are using Monta Vista's Hard Hat Linux CDK 1.2) you must change |
| 2071 | the definition of CROSS_COMPILE in Makefile. For HHL on a 4xx CPU, |
| 2072 | change it to: |
| 2073 | |
| 2074 | CROSS_COMPILE = ppc_4xx- |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2139 | If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need |
| 2140 | to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these |
| 2141 | steps: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2142 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2143 | 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel |
| 2144 | "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing |
| 2145 | entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places |
| 2146 | boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please |
| 2147 | keep this order. |
| 2148 | 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any |
| 2149 | files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least |
| 2150 | the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". |
| 2151 | 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for |
| 2152 | your board |
| 2153 | 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new |
| 2154 | directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. |
| 2155 | 4. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. |
| 2156 | 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file |
| 2157 | to be installed on your target system. |
| 2158 | 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. |
| 2159 | [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2165 | If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board |
| 2166 | or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to |
| 2167 | provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes |
| 2168 | the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest |
| 2169 | official or latest in CVS) version of U-Boot sources. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2171 | But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- |
| 2172 | cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of |
| 2173 | the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, |
| 2174 | just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot |
| 2175 | for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can |
| 2176 | select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' |

| 2300 | is usually what you want since it allows for |
| 2301 | maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to |
| 2302 | make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the |
| 2303 | CFG_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment |
| 2304 | variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". |
| 2305 | Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper |
| 2306 | address to use (U-Boot will still check that it |
| 2307 | does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2410 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2411 | - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) |

| 2413 | - variable substitution using "... $(name) ..." syntax |
| 2414 | - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', |
| 2415 | for example: |
| 2416 | setenv bootcmd bootm \$(address) |
| 2417 | - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2434 | (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" |

wdenk | f4688a2 | 2003-05-28 08:06:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2446 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2447 | Some boards come with redundant ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports |
| 2448 | such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a |
| 2449 | "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: |
wdenk | f4688a2 | 2003-05-28 08:06:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2450 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2451 | Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding |
| 2452 | MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), |
| 2453 | "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... |
wdenk | f4688a2 | 2003-05-28 08:06:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2454 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2455 | If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance |
| 2456 | in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- |
| 2457 | ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment |
| 2458 | variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: |
wdenk | f4688a2 | 2003-05-28 08:06:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2459 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2460 | o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the |
| 2461 | environment, the SROM's address is used. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2462 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2463 | o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the |
| 2464 | environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is |
| 2465 | used. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2466 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2467 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and |
| 2468 | both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2470 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the |
| 2471 | addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a |

| 2505 | ============== |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2506 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2507 | Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application |
| 2508 | easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of |
| 2509 | U-Boot. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2510 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2511 | U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some |
| 2512 | special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any |
| 2513 | "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; |
| 2514 | instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation |
| 2515 | serves several purposes: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2516 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2517 | - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone |
| 2518 | applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the |
| 2519 | Flash memory footprint) |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2520 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2521 | - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because |
| 2522 | lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2523 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2524 | - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" |
| 2525 | images; of course this also means that different kernel images can |
| 2526 | be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't |
| 2527 | have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just |
| 2528 | change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the |
| 2529 | software is easier now. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2538 | U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to |
| 2539 | configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware |
| 2540 | (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to |
| 2541 | Linux :-). |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2542 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2543 | But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot). |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2544 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2545 | Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance |
| 2546 | include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board |
| 2547 | Information structure as we define in include/u-boot.h, and make |
| 2548 | sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value as your |
| 2549 | U-Boot configuration in CFG_IMMR. |

| 2553 | ----------------------------- |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2554 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2555 | No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root |
| 2556 | device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2559 | Building a Linux Image: |
| 2560 | ----------------------- |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2561 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2562 | With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are |
| 2563 | not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target |
| 2564 | "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by |
| 2565 | U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, |
| 2566 | which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a |
| 2567 | 100% compatible format. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2568 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2569 | Example: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2570 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2571 | make TQM850L_config |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2575 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2576 | The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to |
| 2577 | encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, |
| 2578 | CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2599 | The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use |
| 2600 | with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or |
| 2601 | combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 |
| 2602 | byte header containing information about target architecture, |
| 2603 | operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time |
| 2604 | stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2605 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2606 | "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and |
| 2607 | print the header information, or to build new images. |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2608 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2609 | In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information |
| 2610 | contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes |
| 2611 | checksum verification: |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2612 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2613 | tools/mkimage -l image |
| 2614 | -l ==> list image header information |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2615 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2616 | The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image |
| 2617 | from a "data file" which is used as image payload: |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2618 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2619 | tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ |
| 2620 | -n name -d data_file image |
| 2621 | -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' |
| 2622 | -O ==> set operating system to 'os' |
| 2623 | -T ==> set image type to 'type' |
| 2624 | -C ==> set compression type 'comp' |
| 2625 | -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) |
| 2626 | -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) |
| 2627 | -n ==> set image name to 'name' |
| 2628 | -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2629 | |
wdenk | cd91445 | 2004-05-29 16:53:29 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2630 | Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load |
| 2631 | address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the |
| 2632 | kernel version: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2633 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2634 | - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, |
| 2635 | - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2636 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2637 | So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: |

| 2824 | ------------------------------ |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2825 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2826 | U-Boot supports the following image types: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2827 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2828 | "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment |
| 2829 | provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave |
| 2830 | well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from |
| 2831 | the Standalone Program. |
| 2832 | "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which |
| 2833 | will take over control completely. Usually these programs |
| 2834 | will install their own set of exception handlers, device |
| 2835 | drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot |
| 2836 | expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. |
| 2837 | "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their |
| 2838 | parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is |
| 2839 | being started. |
| 2840 | "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS |
| 2841 | (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like |
| 2842 | RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want |
| 2843 | to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot |
| 2844 | server provides just a single image file, but you want to get |
| 2845 | for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2847 | "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each |
| 2848 | image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network |
| 2849 | byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". |
| 2850 | Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by |
| 2851 | one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to |
| 2852 | a multiple of 4 bytes). |

| 2855 | U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to |
| 2856 | flash memory. |

| 2859 | U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially |
| 2860 | useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) |
| 2861 | as command interpreter. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2973 | Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host |
| 2974 | (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx). |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2976 | Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on |
| 2977 | NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also |
| 2978 | need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make). |
| 2979 | Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files; |
| 2980 | attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is |
| 2981 | missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually: |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2992 | Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a |
| 2993 | stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel |
| 2994 | proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source |
| 2995 | tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the |
| 2996 | meantime, send mail to bruno@exet-ag.de and/or wd@denx.de for |

| 3001 | ========================= |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3002 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3003 | The following is not intended to be a complete description of every |
| 3004 | implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the |
| 3005 | inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom |
| 3006 | hardware. |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3011 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3012 | The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot |
| 3013 | starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to |
| 3014 | system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). |
| 3015 | This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS |
| 3016 | is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working |
| 3017 | at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation |
| 3018 | options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU |
| 3019 | models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and |
| 3020 | MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be |
| 3021 | locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3023 | Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3031 | Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it |
| 3032 | is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not |
| 3033 | require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness |
| 3034 | is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of |
| 3035 | necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's |
| 3036 | beyond the scope of this list to expain the details, but you |
| 3037 | can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and |
| 3038 | operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3039 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3040 | OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It |
| 3041 | is another option for the system designer to use as an |
| 3042 | initial stack/ram area prior to SDRAM being available. Either |
| 3043 | option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your |
| 3044 | board designers haven't used it for something that would |
| 3045 | cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not |
| 3046 | used. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3047 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3048 | CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere |
| 3049 | with your processor/board/system design. The default value |
| 3050 | you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in |
| 3051 | Walnut405.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger |
| 3052 | than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set |
| 3053 | it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources |
| 3054 | that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in |
| 3055 | start.S has been around a while and should work as is when |
| 3056 | you get the config right. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3074 | Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use |
| 3075 | normal global data to share information beween the code. But it |
| 3076 | turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly |
| 3077 | simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all |
| 3078 | functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ |
| 3079 | functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of |
| 3080 | the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we |
| 3081 | place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we |
| 3082 | reserve for this purpose. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3084 | When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3088 | For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3101 | Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the |
| 3102 | address of the global data structure is known at compile time), |
| 3103 | but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat |
| 3104 | smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on |
| 3105 | average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, |
| 3106 | 624 text + 127 data). |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3125 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3126 | U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the |
| 3127 | MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3128 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3129 | The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory |
| 3130 | controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each |
| 3131 | memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several |
| 3132 | physical memory banks. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3133 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3134 | U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on |
| 3135 | TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After |
| 3136 | booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself |
| 3137 | to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some |
| 3138 | memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CFG_MALLOC_LEN |
| 3139 | configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board |
| 3140 | Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3141 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3142 | Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB |
| 3143 | of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). |

| 3169 | ---------------------- |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3170 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3171 | In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point |
| 3172 | (on most PowerPC systens at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset |
| 3173 | configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. |
| 3174 | To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. |
| 3175 | To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) |
| 3176 | initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs |
| 3177 | which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked |
| 3178 | part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, |
| 3179 | the caches and the SIU. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3180 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3181 | Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a |
| 3182 | preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries |
| 3183 | (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash |
| 3184 | on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is |
| 3185 | programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a |
| 3186 | simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM |
| 3187 | banks. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3188 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3189 | When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of |

| 3341 | source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported |
| 3342 | for any of the boards. |
| 3343 | |
| 3344 | * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch |
| 3345 | containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be |
| 3346 | returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3348 | * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not |
| 3349 | add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! |
| 3350 | When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only |
| 3351 | (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature |
| 3352 | disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your |
| 3353 | modification. |
