6Summary:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

874 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
875 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
876 disk/part_efi.c
Simon Glass8706b812016-05-01 11:36:02 -0600877 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +0000878 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000879
880- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +0000881 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
882 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000883
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +0000884 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
885 be performed by calling the function
886 ide_set_reset(int reset)
887 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000888
889- ATAPI Support:
890 CONFIG_ATAPI

wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +0000899 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
900 support disks up to 2.1TB.
901
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200902 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +0000903 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
904 Default is 32bit.

1045 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at
1046 0xfed40000.
1047
Reinhard Pfau4fece432013-06-26 15:55:13 +02001048 CONFIG_TPM
1049 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides
1050 functional interfaces to some TPM commands.
1051 Requires support for a TPM device.
1052
1053 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS
1054 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.
1055 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1.
1056
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001057- USB Support:
1058 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
Heiko Schocher6f90e582017-06-14 05:49:40 +02001059 supported (PIP405, MIP405); define
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001060 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1061 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
wdenkfb30b4c2004-10-09 22:44:59 +00001062 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001063 storage devices.
1064 Note:
1065 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1066 (TEAC FD-05PUB).
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001067
Simon Glass5978cdb2012-02-27 10:52:47 +00001068 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
1069 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.

Oleksandr Tymoshenko7a881752014-02-01 21:51:25 -07001071 CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2
1072 HW module registers.
1073
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001074- USB Device:
1075 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1076 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1077 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001078 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001079 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1080 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001081 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001082 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1083 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1084 a Linux host by
1085 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1086 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1087 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1088 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001089
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001090 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1091 Define this to build a UDC device
1092
1093 CONFIG_USB_TTY
1094 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1095 talk to the UDC device
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001096
Vipin KUMARbdb17702012-03-26 15:38:06 +05301097 CONFIG_USBD_HS
1098 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1099 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1100 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1101 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1102 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1103 speed.
1104
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001105 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001106 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1107 be set to usbtty.
1108
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001109 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001110 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001111 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001112 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1113 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1114 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1115
1116 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1117 Define this string as the name of your company for
1118 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001119
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001120 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1121 Define this string as the name of your product
1122 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001123
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001124 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1125 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1126 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1127 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1128 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001129
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001130 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1131 Define this as the unique Product ID
1132 for your device
1133 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001134
Igor Grinbergac5f6ee2011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001135- ULPI Layer Support:
1136 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1137 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1138 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1139 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1140 viewport is supported.
1141 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1142 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001143 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1144 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1145 the appropriate value in Hz.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001146
wdenk7a428cc2003-06-15 22:40:42 +00001147- MMC Support:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001148 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1149 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1150 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
wdenk7a428cc2003-06-15 22:40:42 +00001151 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001152 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1153 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
wdenk7a428cc2003-06-15 22:40:42 +00001154
Yoshihiro Shimodadb7717b2011-07-04 22:21:22 +00001155 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF

1157
1158 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1159 Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1160
1161 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1162 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1163
Pierre Aubertbcc302c2014-04-24 10:30:08 +02001164 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1165 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1166
Tom Rini58a8d322013-03-14 05:32:47 +00001167- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
Marek Vasut7f8d4362018-02-16 16:41:18 +01001168 CONFIG_DFU_OVER_USB
Tom Rini58a8d322013-03-14 05:32:47 +00001169 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1170
Tom Rini58a8d322013-03-14 05:32:47 +00001171 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1172 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1173
Pantelis Antonioucf14d0d2013-03-14 05:32:52 +00001174 CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1175 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1176
Afzal Mohammede3c687a2013-09-18 01:15:24 +05301177 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1178 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1179 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1180 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1181 one that would help mostly the developer.
1182
Heiko Schochera2f831e2013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001183 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1184 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1185 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1186 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1187 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1188
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001189 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1190 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1191 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1192 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1193 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1194 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1195
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001196 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1197 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1198 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1199 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1200
1201 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1202 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1203 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1204 sending again an USB request to the device.
1205
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +00001206- Journaling Flash filesystem support:

wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +00001212 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1213
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001214- Keyboard Support:
Simon Glasseaba37e2015-11-11 10:05:47 -07001215 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1216
1217 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1218
1219 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1220 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1221 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1222 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1223 instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001224
1225- Video support:
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001226 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
Wolfgang Denk825223d2011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001227 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001228 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1229 support, and should also define these other macros:
1230
1231 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1232 CONFIG_VIDEO
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001233 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1234 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1235 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1236 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1237 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1238
Timur Tabi32f709e2011-04-11 14:18:22 -05001239 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1240 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
Fabio Estevamd3ad5e52016-04-02 11:53:18 -03001241 boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
Timur Tabi32f709e2011-04-11 14:18:22 -05001242 description of this variable.
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001243
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001244- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1245
1246 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1247 display); also select one of the supported displays
1248 by defining one of these:

Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001293 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1294
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001295 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001296 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1297 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1298 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1299 a per-section basis.
1300
1301
Hannes Petermaiera3c8e862015-03-27 08:01:38 +01001302 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1303
1304 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1305 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1306 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1307 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1308 printed out.
1309 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1310 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1311 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1312 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1313 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1314 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1315 1 = 90 degree rotation
1316 2 = 180 degree rotation
1317 3 = 270 degree rotation
1318
1319 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1320 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1321
Tom Wai-Hong Tam79926a42012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001322 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1323
1324 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1325
Tom Wai-Hong Tam6664f202012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001326 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1327
1328 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1329 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1330
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001331- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001332
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001333 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1334 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1335 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001336 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001337 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1338 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1339 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1340 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001341
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001342 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1343
1344 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1345 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Fabio Estevama58b4912016-03-23 12:46:12 -03001346 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001347 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1348 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1349 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1350 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1351 there is no need to set this option.
1352
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001353 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1354
1355 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1356 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1357 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1358 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1359 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1360 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1361
1362 Example:
1363 setenv splashpos m,m
1364 => image at center of screen
1365
1366 setenv splashpos 30,20
1367 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1368
1369 setenv splashpos -10,m
1370 => vertically centered image
1371 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1372
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001373- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1374
1375 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1376 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1377 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1378
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001379- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8

David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001454- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1455 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1456
1457 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1458 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001459 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001460 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1461 multicast group.
1462
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001463- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1464 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1465
1466 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1467 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1468 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1469 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1470 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1471 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1472 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1473 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001474 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001475
1476 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1477 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1478 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1479 4th and following
1480 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1481
Thierry Reding8977cda2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02001482 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1483
1484 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1485 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1486 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1487 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1488 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1489 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1490 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1491 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1492 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1493 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1494 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1495 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1496 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1497 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1498 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001512 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1513 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001514
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001515 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1516 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1517 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1518 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1519 is not available.
1520
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001521 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1522 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1523 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001524 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001525 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1526 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001528 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1529
1530 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1531 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1532 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1533 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1534 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1535 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1536 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1537 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1538 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1539 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1540 this delay.
1541
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001542 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1543 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1544 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1545 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1546 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

Uri Mashiach3dc6f652017-01-19 10:51:05 +02001601- Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001602
1603 Several configurations allow to display the current
1604 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1605 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1606 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1607 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1608 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
Uri Mashiach3dc6f652017-01-19 10:51:05 +02001609 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001610 feature in U-Boot.
1611
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02001612 Additional options:

Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02001615 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
1616 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
Uri Mashiach3dc6f652017-01-19 10:51:05 +02001617 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02001618 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
1619
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02001620 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
1621 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
1622 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
1623 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
1624 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
1625 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001815 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1816 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001817
1818 I2C_INIT
1819
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001820 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001825 I2C_ACTIVE
1826
1827 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1828 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1829 define can be null.
1830
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001831 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)

1834
1835 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1836 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1837 define can be null.
1838

1842
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07001843 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
1844 false if it is low.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001866 I2C_DELAY
1867
1868 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1869 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001870 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001871 like:
1872

1876
1877 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1878 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1879 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1880 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1881
1882 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1883 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001886
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001887 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1888 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1889 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1890 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1891 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1892 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1893 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1894 is run early in the boot sequence.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001896 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1897
1898 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001899 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1900 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001901 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1902
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001903 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001904
1905 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001906 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05001907 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1908 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001909
1910 e.g.
1911 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001912 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001913
1914 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1915
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001916 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Simon Glassb05e2b32016-10-02 18:01:05 -06001917 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001918
1919 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1920
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001921 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001922
1923 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1924 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1925
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001926 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001927
1928 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1929 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1930
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06001931 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
1932
1933 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
1934 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
1935 between writing the address pointer and reading the
1936 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
1937 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
1938 devices can use either method, but some require one or
1939 the other.

1950 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
1951 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
1952 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
1953 defined, the board configuration must define several
1954 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
1955 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

1958
1959 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
1960 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
1961 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001962 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an

2030- Configuration Management:
Stefan Roese141ed202014-10-22 12:13:24 +02002031 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2032
2033 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2034 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2035 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2036 special image will be automatically built upon calling
Simon Glassdc27def2016-07-27 20:33:08 -06002037 make / buildman.
Stefan Roese141ed202014-10-22 12:13:24 +02002038
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002039 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2040
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002041 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2042 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002043
2044- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2045
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002046 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2047 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002048 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002049 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2050 protects these variables from casual modification by
2051 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2052 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002053 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002054
2055 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2056 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002057 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002058 these parameters.
2059
Joe Hershberger76f353e2015-05-04 14:55:14 -05002060 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2061 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002062 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002063 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2064 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2065 read-only.]
2066
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002067 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2068 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2069 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2070 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2071
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002072- Protected RAM:
2073 CONFIG_PRAM
2074
2075 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2076 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2077 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2078 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2079 this default value by defining an environment
2080 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2081 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2082 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2083 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2084 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2085 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2086 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2087
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002088 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002089 saveenv
2090
2091 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2092 either, which results in a memory region that will
2093 not be affected by reboots.
2094
2095 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2096 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2097 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2098 following board configurations are known to be
2099 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002105- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2106 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2107 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2108 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2109 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2110 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2111 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2112
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002113- Error Recovery:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002114 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2115
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002116 This variable defines the number of retries for
2117 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2118 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2119 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002120
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002121 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2122
2123 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2124
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002125 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2126
2127 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2128 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2129 try longer timeout such as
2130 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2131
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002132- Command Interpreter:
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002133 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002134
2135 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2136 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2137 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2138
2139 Note:
2140
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002141 In the current implementation, the local variables
2142 space and global environment variables space are
2143 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2144 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2145 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2146 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2147 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002148
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002149 Global environment variables are those you use
2150 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2151 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2152 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002153
2154 To store commands and special characters in a
2155 variable, please use double quotation marks
2156 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2157 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2158 symbols.
2159
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002160- Command Line Editing and History:
Marek Vasut734fb042016-01-27 04:47:55 +01002161 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2162
2163 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2164 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2165 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2166 and PS2.
2167
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002168- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002169 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2170
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002171 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2172 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002173 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002174
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002175 For example, place something like this in your
2176 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002177
2178 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2179 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2180 "myvar2=value2\0"
2181
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002182 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2183 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2184 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2185 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002186 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002187 You better know what you are doing here.
2188
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002189 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2190 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002191 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002192 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002193
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002194 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2195
2196 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002197 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002198 that so that the environment is not available until
2199 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2200 this is instead controlled by the value of
2201 /config/load-environment.
2202
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002203- Serial Flash support
Simon Glass663b0cc2017-08-04 16:35:06 -06002204 Usage requires an initial 'sf probe' to define the serial
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002205 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2206 commands.
2207
2208 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2209 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2210 flash is present on the system.
2211
2212 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2213 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2214 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)

Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002218- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2219 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2220
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002221 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002222 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002223 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002224 number generator is used.
2225
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002226 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2227 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2228 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2229
2230 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002231 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2232 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2233 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2234 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2235 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2236 but sometimes that is not allowed.

2240
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002241 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2242 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2243 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2244 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2245 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,

2404
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +02002405 This option defines a board specific value for the
2406 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
2407 overwriting the architecture dependent default

2415 when using a graphics controller has separate video
2416 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2417 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2418 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2419 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2420 configured panel size.

2432- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02002433 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
2434 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
2435 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
2436 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
2437 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
2438 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
2439
2440 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
2441 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
2442 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
2443 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
2444 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
2445
2446 default: 4096
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -06002447
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02002448 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
2449 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
2450 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
2451 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
2452 flash), this value is ignored.
2453
2454 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
2455 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
2456 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
2457 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
2458 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
2459 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
2460
2461 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
2462 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
2463 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
2464 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
2465 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
2466 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
2467 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
2468 partition.
2469
2470 default: 20
2471
2472 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
2473 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
2474 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
2475 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
2476 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
2477 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
2478 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
2479 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
2480 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
2481 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
2482 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
2483 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
2484
2485 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
2486 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
2487 without a fastmap.
2488 default: 0
2489
Heiko Schocher94b66de2015-10-22 06:19:21 +02002490 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG

2535 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
2536 loaded does not have a signature.
2537 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
2538 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
2539 will be caught.

2669 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
2670 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
2671 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
2672 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002696- Interrupt support (PPC):
2697
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002698 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2699 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002700 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002701 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002702 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002703 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002704 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002705 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2706 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2707 general timer_interrupt().

2712
2713During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
2714to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
2715before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
2716following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
2717architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
2718typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

2755 simple memory test.
2756
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002757- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5958f4a2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00002758 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
2759 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
2760
York Sun5d286cd2015-12-04 11:57:07 -08002761- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
York Sun1ef95cc2016-06-24 16:46:18 -07002762 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
York Sun5d286cd2015-12-04 11:57:07 -08002763 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
2764 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
2765 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
York Sun1ef95cc2016-06-24 16:46:18 -07002766 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
York Sun5d286cd2015-12-04 11:57:07 -08002767 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
2768 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
2769
York Sun50739372015-12-07 11:05:29 -08002770- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002771 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002772 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002773 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002774 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2775 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2776 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002777 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002778 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002779 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002780
2781 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2782 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2783 be touched.
2784
2785 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2786 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2787 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2788 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
2789 problems.

2793
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002794- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002795 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
2796
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002797- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:

2802 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk0708bc62010-10-07 21:51:12 +02002803 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002804 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002805
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002806- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002807 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
2808 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
2809 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
2810 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002811
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002812- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002813 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
2814
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06002815- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
2816 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
2817 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
2818 will become available before relocation. The address is just
2819 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
2820 space.
2821
2822 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
2823 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
2824 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002825 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06002826 U-Boot relocates itself.
2827
Simon Glass9fa901b2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07002828- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
2829 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
2830 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
2831 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
2832
Thierry Redingc97d9742014-12-09 22:25:22 -07002833- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
2834 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
2835 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
2836 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
2837 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
2838 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
2839 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
2840 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
2841 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
2842 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
2843 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
2844 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
2845 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
2846 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
2847 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
2848 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
2849
2850 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
2851
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002852- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01002853 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2854 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002855 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01002856 to adjust this setting to your needs.
2857
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002858- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002859 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of

Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02002861 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
2862 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04002863 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case

Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002865 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00002866 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
2867 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
2868 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

John Rigbyeea8e692010-10-13 13:57:35 -06002870- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
2871 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
2872 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
2873 is enabled.
2874
2875- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
2876 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
2877 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2878
2879- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
2880 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
2881 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2882
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002883- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:

2900
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002901- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00002902 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
2903 instead of U-Boot software protection.
2904
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002905- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002906
2907 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2908 without this option such a download has to be
2909 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2910 copy from RAM to flash.
2911
2912 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2913 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002914 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2915 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002916 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2917
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002918- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002919 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00002920 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
2921
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD8d94c232008-08-13 01:40:42 +02002922- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00002923 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
2924 in the drivers directory
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002925
Piotr Ziecik3e939e92008-11-17 15:57:58 +01002926- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
2927 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
2928 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
2929 to the MTD layer.
2930
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002931- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski183284f2008-04-03 13:36:02 +02002932 Use buffered writes to flash.
2933
2934- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
2935 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
2936 write commands.
2937
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002938- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roesec443fe92005-11-22 13:20:42 +01002939 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
2940 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
2941 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
2942 optionally available.
2943
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05002944- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
2945 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
2946 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
2947 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
2948
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02002949- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
2950 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
2951 against the source after the write operation. An error message
2952 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
2953 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
2954 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
2955 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
2956 this option if you really know what you are doing.
2957
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002958- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002959 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
2960 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002961 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
2962 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002963 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002964 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
2965
Wolfgang Denk460a9ff2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02002966- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
2967
Wolfgang Denk1136f692010-10-27 22:48:30 +02002968 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
2969 internally to store the environment settings. The default
2970 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
2971 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
2972 lib/hashtable.c for details.
Wolfgang Denk460a9ff2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02002973
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002974- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
2975- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04002976 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002977 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
2978 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
2979 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
2980
2981 The format of the list is:
2982 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002983 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
2984 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002985 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
2986 list = entry[,list]
2987
2988 The type attributes are:
2989 s - String (default)
2990 d - Decimal
2991 x - Hexadecimal
2992 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
2993 i - IP address
2994 m - MAC address
2995
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06002996 The access attributes are:
2997 a - Any (default)
2998 r - Read-only
2999 o - Write-once
3000 c - Change-default
3001
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003002 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3003 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003004 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003005
3006 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3007 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3008 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3009 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3010 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3011 ".flags" variable.
3012
Joe Hershberger6db9fd42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05003013 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3014 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3015 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3016
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003017- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3018 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3019 access flags.
3020
Gabe Black3687fe42014-10-15 04:38:30 -06003021- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3022 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3023 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3024 building U-Boot to enable this.
3025
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003026The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3027of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3028following configurations:
3029
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003030- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3031
3032 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3033 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3034
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003035BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003036in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003037console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003038U-Boot will hang.
3039
3040Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3041environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3042keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3043to save the current settings.
3044
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003045BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3046"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003047environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3048but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003049
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003050- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3051
3052 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3053 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3054 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3055
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003056Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003057has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Simon Glass64b723f2017-08-03 12:22:12 -06003058created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use env_get_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003059until then to read environment variables.
3060
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003061The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3062is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3063with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3064necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3065"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3066have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003067
3068Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3069the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003070use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003071
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003072- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003073 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00003074
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003075 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00003076 also needs to be defined.
3077
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003078- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003079 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003080
Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08003081- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3082 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3083 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3084 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3085 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3086 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
3087
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00003088- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3089 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
3090 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
3091 to do this.
3092
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00003093- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3094 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
3095 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
3096 present.
3097
Sascha Silbe4b9c17c2013-08-11 16:40:43 +02003098- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
3099 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
3100 build system checks that the actual size does not
3101 exceed it.
3102
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003103Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003107 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
3108
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003109- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3110 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3111 PowerPC SOCs.
3112
3113- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3114 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3115 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3116
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003117- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3118 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3119 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003120 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003121 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3122 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3123 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3124
3125 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3126 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3127
3128- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003129 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3130 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003131 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3132 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3133
3134- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3135 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3136 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3137 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3138
3139- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3140 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3141 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
3142
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +00003143- Floppy Disk Support:
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003144 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003155 defines the offset of register from address. It
3156 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003157 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003159 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
3160 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003161 default value.
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +00003162
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003163 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003164 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
3165 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003166 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent

3170 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
3171 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
3172 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
3173 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
3174 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003175 is required.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003197 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
3198 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial

Wolfgang Denk1c2e98e2010-10-26 13:32:32 +02003200 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
Simon Glass9a6ac8b2016-10-02 18:01:06 -06003201 GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003208 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must

Rick Chend7e6f922017-12-26 13:55:59 +08003339 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS, RISC-V only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01003340 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
3341 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
3342 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00003343
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01003344 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
3345 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
3346 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
3347 these initializations itself.

3367 previous 4k of the .text section.
3368
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00003369- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
3370 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
3371 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
3372 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
3373 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
3374 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
3375 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
3376 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
3377
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00003378- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR

3388-----------------------------------
3389
3390The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3391loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3392This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3393are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3394within that device.
3395
Zhao Qiang83a90842014-03-21 16:21:44 +08003396- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3397 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
3398 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3399 is also specified.
3400
3401- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
3402 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06003403 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3404 is also specified.
3405
3406- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3407 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
3408 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3409 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3410 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3411
3412- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3413 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3414 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3415 virtual address in NOR flash.
3416
3417- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3418 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3419 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3420
3421- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3422 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
3423 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3424
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00003425- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
3426 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
3427 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003428 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
3429 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
3430 master's memory space.

3435"firmware".
3436This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3437are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3438within that device.
3439
3440- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
3441 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.

Paul Kocialkowski7b917022015-07-26 18:48:15 +02003452Reproducible builds
3453-------------------
3454
3455In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
3456process have to be set to a fixed value.
3457
3458This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
3459SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
3460option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
3461
3462SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003464Building the Software:
3465======================
3466
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003467Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3468and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3469all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3470(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3471recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3472which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003473
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003474If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3475have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3476you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3477Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3478necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003479
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003480 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3481 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003482
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05003483Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3484 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3485 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3486 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
3487
3488 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3489
3490 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3491 be executed on computers running Windows.
3492
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003493U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3494sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003495is done by typing:
3496
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02003497 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003498
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02003499where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00003500rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00003501
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003502Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3503 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3504 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3505 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003506 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003507
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02003508 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003509 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003510
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02003511 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003512 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003513
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003514 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003515
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003516
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003517Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3518images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003519
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003520- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3521- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3522- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003523
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003524By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3525in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3526this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3527
35281. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3529
3530 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02003531 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003532 make O=/tmp/build all
3533
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +020035342. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003535
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02003536 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003537 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02003538 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003539 make all
3540
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02003541Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003542variable.
3543
Daniel Schwierzeck88484422018-01-26 16:31:04 +01003544User specific CPPFLAGS, AFLAGS and CFLAGS can be passed to the compiler by
3545setting the according environment variables KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS.
3546For example to treat all compiler warnings as errors:
3547
3548 make KCFLAGS=-Werror
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003549
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003550Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3551for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3552native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003553
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003554
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003555If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3556to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3557steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003558
Phil Sutterc77b4882015-12-25 14:41:18 +010035591. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003560 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
Phil Sutterc77b4882015-12-25 14:41:18 +01003561 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
35622. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3563 your board.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000035643. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3565 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020035664. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000035675. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3568 to be installed on your target system.
35696. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3570 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003575
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003576If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3577or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003578provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3579the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003580official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003581
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003582But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3583cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003584the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
Simon Glassdc27def2016-07-27 20:33:08 -06003585just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
3586configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
3587will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
3588for documentation.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003651Environment Variables:
3652======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003653
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003654U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
3655can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003656
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003657Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
3658"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
3659without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
3660environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
3661working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
3662environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003663
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003664Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.

3679 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3680 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
3681 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
3682 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
3683 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003684 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
3685 bootm_mapsize.
3686
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003687 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003688 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
3689 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
3690 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
3691 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
3692 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
3693 used otherwise.

3712 be automatically started (by internally calling
3713 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003714
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003715 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3716 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3717 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3718 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3719 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003720
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04003721 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
3722 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00003723 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
3724 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
3725 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
3726 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
3727 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
3728 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
3729 access it during the boot procedure.
3730
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04003731 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
3732 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
3733 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
3734 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
3735 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
3736 must be accessible by the kernel.
3737
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00003738 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
3739 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
3740 defined.
3741
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00003742 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3743 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3744 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3745 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3746 it must be saved and board must be reset.
3747
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003748 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
3749 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3750 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3751 is usually what you want since it allows for
3752 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3753 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003754 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003755 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3756 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3757 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3758 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003759
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003760 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3761 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3762 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3763 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3764 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3765 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003766
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003767 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003768
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003769 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3770 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3771 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3772 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3773 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3774 boot time on your system, but requires that this
3775 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01003802 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
3803 available network interfaces.
3804 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
3805
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003806 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003807 either succeed or fail without retrying.
3808 When set to "once" the network operation will
3809 fail when all the available network interfaces
3810 are tried once without success.
3811 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
3812 themselves.

3818 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
3819 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
3820 is silent.
3821
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)83006852015-10-12 00:02:57 +02003822 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's

3824
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)83006852015-10-12 00:02:57 +02003825 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP

3827
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003828 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
3829 we use the TFTP server's default block size
3830
3831 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
3832 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
3833 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
3834 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
3835 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
3836 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
3837 with unreliable TFTP servers.
3838
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)83006852015-10-12 00:02:57 +02003839 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
3840 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
3841 can happen during a single file transfer before that
3842 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
3843 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
3844 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
3845 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.

3852 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
3853 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
3854 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
3855 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
3856
Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00003857The following image location variables contain the location of images
3858used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
3859not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
3860variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
3861server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
3862loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
3863flash or offset in NAND flash.
3864
3865*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
Fabio Estevambb7d4972015-04-25 18:53:10 -03003866boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some

3877updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
3878depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00003879
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003880 bootfile - see above
3881 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
3882 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
3883 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
3884 hostname - Target hostname
3885 ipaddr - see above
3886 netmask - Subnet Mask
3887 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003891There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003892
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003893 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
3894 as type string and/or serial number
3895 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003896
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003897These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
3898the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
3899once they have been set once.

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06003913Callback functions for environment variables:
3914---------------------------------------------
3915
3916For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003917when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06003918be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
3919deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
3920effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
3921
3922The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
3923U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
3924
3925These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
3926static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
3927in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
3928associations. The list must be in the following format:
3929
3930 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
3931 list = entry[,list]
3932
3933If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
3934Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
3935
3936Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
3937with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
3938override any association in the static list. You can define
3939CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003940".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06003941
Joe Hershberger6db9fd42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05003942If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3943regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
3944the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
3945
Heinrich Schuchardtc141fa52018-07-29 11:08:14 +02003946The signature of the callback functions is:
3947
3948 int callback(const char *name, const char *value, enum env_op op, int flags)
3949
3950* name - changed environment variable
3951* value - new value of the environment variable
3952* op - operation (create, overwrite, or delete)
3953* flags - attributes of the environment variable change, see flags H_* in
3954 include/search.h
3955
3956The return value is 0 if the variable change is accepted and 1 otherwise.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003961There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
3962the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003963
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003964Old, simple command line parser:
3965--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003966
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003967- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
3968- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003969- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003970- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
3971 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003972 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003973- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
3974 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003979- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
3980 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
3981 until...do...done, ...
3982- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
3983 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
3984 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
3985 command

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003987General rules:
3988--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003989
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003990(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
3991 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
3992 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
3993 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003994
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003995(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003996 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003997 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
3998 variables are not executed.

wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004002
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004003Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004004such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4005"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004006
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004007Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4008MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4009"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004010
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004011If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4012in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4013ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4014variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004015
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004016o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4017 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004018
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004019o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4020 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4021 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004022
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004023o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4024 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004025
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004026o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4027 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4028 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004029
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004030o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
Joe Hershberger2dc2b5d2015-05-04 14:55:13 -05004031 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
4032 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004033
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004034If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004035will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004036may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4037The naming convention is as follows:
4038"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004039
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004040Image Formats:
4041==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004042
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01004043U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4044images in two formats:
4045
4046New uImage format (FIT)
4047-----------------------
4048
4049Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4050to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4051components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4052SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4053
4054
4055Old uImage format
4056-----------------
4057
4058Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4059preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4060details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004061

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004076The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
4077and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
4078CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004079
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004080
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004081Linux Support:
4082==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004083
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004084Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4085easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4086U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004087
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004088U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4089special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4090"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4091instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4092serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004093
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004094- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4095 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4096 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004097
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004098- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4099 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004100
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004101- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4102 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4103 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4104 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4105 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4106 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004107
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004108
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004109Linux HOWTO:
4110============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004111
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004112Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4113---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004114
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004115U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4116configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4117(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4118Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004119
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02004120But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004121
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004122Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4123include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02004124Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4125and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004126as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004127
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06004128Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
4129If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
4130is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
4131doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004133
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004134Configuring the Linux kernel:
4135-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004136
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004137No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4138device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004139
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004140
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004141Building a Linux Image:
4142-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004143
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004144With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4145not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4146"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4147U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4148which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4149100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004150
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004151Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004152
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004153 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004154 make oldconfig
4155 make dep
4156 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004157
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004158The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4159encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4160CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004161
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004162* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004163
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004164* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004165
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004166 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4167 -R .note -R .comment \
4168 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004169
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004170* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004171
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004172 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004173
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004174* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004175
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004176 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4177 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4178 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004179
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004180
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004181The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4182with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4183combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4184byte header containing information about target architecture,
4185operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4186stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004187
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004188"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4189print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004190
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004191In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4192contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4193checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004194
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004195 tools/mkimage -l image
4196 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004197
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004198The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4199from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004200
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004201 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4202 -n name -d data_file image
4203 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4204 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4205 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4206 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4207 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4208 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4209 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4210 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004211
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00004212Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4213address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4214kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004215
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004216- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4217- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004218
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004219So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004220

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004242NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4243speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4244needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4245need to be uncompressed:

Guilherme Maciel Ferreira51553812013-12-01 12:43:11 -07004273The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
4274option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
4275option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
4276from the image:
4277
Guilherme Maciel Ferreira40bf5632015-01-15 02:54:40 -02004278 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
4279 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
4280 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4281 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004284Installing a Linux Image:
4285-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004286
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004287To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4288you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004289
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004290 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004291
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004292The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4293image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4294address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4295specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4296command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004297
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004298Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004464More About U-Boot Image Types:
4465------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004466
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004467U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004468
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004469 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4470 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4471 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4472 the Standalone Program.
4473 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4474 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4475 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4476 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4477 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4478 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4479 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4480 being started.
4481 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4482 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4483 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4484 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4485 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4486 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004487
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004488 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4489 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4490 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4491 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4492 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4493 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004494
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004495 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4496 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4497 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00004498
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004499 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4500 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4501 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4502 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00004503
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00004504Booting the Linux zImage:
4505-------------------------
4506
4507On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
4508using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
4509as the syntax of "bootm" command.
4510
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04004511Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00004512kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
4513address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
4514format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

4518=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004519
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004520One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4521run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4522U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004523

4559handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4560Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4561The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4562character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4563controlled by the following keys:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004629Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
4630(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004631
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004632Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
4633NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
4634need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
4635Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
4636attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
4637missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004638
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004639 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
4640 # mkdir powerpc
4641 # ln -s powerpc machine
4642 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4643 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004644
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004645Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4646and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004647
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004648Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4649stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4650proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4651tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

4656=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004657
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004658The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4659implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4660inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4661hardware.

4665---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004666
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004667The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4668starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4669system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4670This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4671is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4672at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4673options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4674models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4675MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4676locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004678 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004686 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4687 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4688 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
4689 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
4690 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004691 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004692 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
4693 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004694
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004695 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
4696 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004697 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004698 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
4699 board designers haven't used it for something that would
4700 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
4701 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004702
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004703 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004704 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
4705 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02004706 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004707 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
4708 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
4709 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
4710 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
4711 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004716It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
4717code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004718
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004719* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
4720 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004721
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004722* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004723 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
4724 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004725
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004726* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
4727 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004728
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004729Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004730normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004731turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
4732simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
4733functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
4734functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
4735the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
4736place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
4737reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004738
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004739When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
4740relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
4741GCC's implementation.

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01004752 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
4753 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
4754 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004758 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
4759 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
4760 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
4761 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
4762 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
4763 624 text + 127 data).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004824
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004825U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
4826MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004827
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004828The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
4829controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
4830memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
4831physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004832
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004833U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
4834TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
4835booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
4836to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004837memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004838configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
4839Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004840
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004841Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
4842of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004843
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004844So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
4845this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004846
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004847 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004867System Initialization:
4868----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004869
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004870In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004871(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004872configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004873To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
4874To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
4875initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
Heiko Schocher71cb3e92017-06-07 17:33:10 +02004876which provide such a feature like), or in a locked part of the data
4877cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, the caches and
4878the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004879
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004880Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
4881preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
4882(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
4883on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
4884programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
4885simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
4886banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004887
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004888When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
4889different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
4890bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
48910x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
4892contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004893
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004894Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
4895and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
4896Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
4897pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004898
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004899Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
4900until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
4901running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
4902new address in RAM.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005043 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5044 with some other mail clients.

Simon Glassdc27def2016-07-27 20:33:08 -06005067* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005068 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5069 for any of the boards.
5070
5071* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5072 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5073 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005074
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005075* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5076 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!

5083 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5084 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5085 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
